    Vegan falafel platter
    Zachary L.

    King Halal has the best falafel I've ever had. It's perfectly seasoned with a real full-bodied flavor. I dream about this place! He's very clued into vegan needs and is able to offer a top-tier vegan falafel plate at a great price. By far the best falafel in the city. Rock on, Ahmed!!

    There is no better falafel anywhere on earth. I don't care if you think you've found a better one, you're mistaken. The chicken and lamb are so scrumptious and he makes his own sauces which include tahini sauce, white sauce, BBQ, hot sauce and cilantro sauce. So good

    Mixed Platter with Falafel added.

    Ahmed at King Halal is one of a kind. Growing up in NYC I've eaten from so many Halal carts, and King Halal is by far the best I've ever had. First time I went, Ahmed was so incredibly friendly. But what seriously hooked me was the fact that he had a container of his falafel in a fridge ready to be fried once ordered. Ahmed told me "I'm never going to serve you a falafel that's been made more than 3 minutes ago." Every bit of food he cooks is delicious and tastes so fresh. And you cannot beat the price! He should be charging twice what it is because it's that good. Every time I walk by King Halal Ahmed will always say hi, even if I'm not ordering. Genuine, nice, amazing cook, don't miss out on this one.

    Lamb and chicken mix with his amazing green sauce.

    Duzan is a certified spot in Astoria. It is one of those places you can rely on for consistently…read moregood food without overthinking it. The portions are huge, everything is packed with flavor, and the quality stands out compared to your typical food truck. It is very no-frills, but that is part of the appeal. You are leaving full and satisfied every time. If you are torn on where to go and want something casual, this is an easy choice.

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 5 Value: 8 Overall: 7 With all the delicious options for food in Astoria, I am glad to see Duzan still succeeding after all these years. The food has always been freshly prepared, in large portions, and cooked quite well. I'm thankful that has not changed much. On my most recent visit, we got a Mix Grilled and Vegetarian Plate to share between four people. There was so much food that we did not have dessert next door as originally planned. Prices are higher nowadays, but you are receiving great value for what you pay. Both chicken shawarma and the beef kufta from the Mix Grilled tasted great, especially with the provided zesty white sauce. I also added hot sauce to mine, which made it more satisfying. The chicken kebab was not bad, it had a nice char, but slightly dry. All of the accompanying humus (a bit salty), salad, rice, and garlic pita were excellent too. For the Vegetarian Plate, though good, I would like the falafels to be fluffier. The best things I enjoyed on the plate was the fried eggplants and baba ghanosh. It also comes with cous cous, which was good. Fresh middle eastern cuisine, made with quality ingredients and care, this restaurant may not be my first choice in Astoria because it's not as sexy as some of the other offerings, but I'm glad that they are still around when I just want a quality meal at a reasonable price.

    I called on 7/15/2026 and was able to place an order for pick up through the phone, fantastic. I…read morecalled again today 7/20/2026 and was told AGAIN, that pick up orders must be placed online. I was angry, actually very HANGRY (hungry + angry), I went and asked why and they said "customers place orders for pick up and don't show up, they even place orders for delivery to fake addresses". I didn't think much and went to wait in my car, when I ran back in they saved my phone number so now I can place orders via the phone. I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT! This amazing restaurant supports Palestine and condemns Israel, which is an amazing stance. Turns out dirty Zionists have been harassing this business for more than a decade! To the point where they couldn't take orders for pick up or delivery. Can you imagine being harassed like that? Please support this restaurant and its wonderful owners, this place has the best decor, that alone is worth the trip. FREE PALESTINE!

    This is a nostalgic food truck we have enjoyed over the years. The falafel is the best in the city…read more It's typical food truck service but they will give you white sauce and hot sauce on the side in a container if you wish. The salad is great with lots of veggies as well. The rice is tender and fluffy. It heats up nice the next day as well. It's a city food truck so no real ambiance there. It's a good spot!
