    Beef kofta platter
    Abrahim S.

    All of it tasted great and fresh. was hitting. But definitely could've used Extra white sauce... pause. The seating downstairs isn't the most comfortable, however you gotta pay a 15 % service charge to eat upstairs. I think next time I'll take it to go. But definitely a good place overall.

    #9 #1 Chicken Kebab
    Tasnia A.

    This is one of the cleanest restaurants in JH, and owned by the kindest Bengali & Middle Eastern family. You order downstairs and theres plenty of seating upstairs. They bring your food up to you. Servers continue to check up on you if you need anything. The food is fresh and delicious, entrees come with rice, white sauce salad and hummus. So far my friends and I have had the chicken kebab, chicken kofta, chicken shawarma, and special shawarma. Can't wait to try other things on the menu. Look how beautifully everything is plated!

    Wanted something different than the usual Mexican or Halal offerings in the area. This particular spot has all sorts of food options and seemingly not specializing in anything. However it is open late and no line to order. Looked like the entire staff was making an elaborate meal for a large group of people upstairs (yes there's seating up top). To help them out I ordered whatever I saw available on the heat rack - 4 Piece Chicken ($8.75), as well as some Mozzarella Sticks ($5). Food is ready in ten minutes - mozzarella sticks haphazardly in a brown bag while the chicken is packed in a small box. Despite all appearances, the chicken isn't half bad. Not overly greasy nor dry; decent with some hot sauce. Mozzarella sticks were hit or miss, some were crushed and exploded, others well crisped. All in all, better than expected but still not sure what would be the best thing to order here. If you don't want to wait outside in the cold for a food truck, try this place out.

    #14 Grilled Salmon
    Erika L.

    Great customer service, I was looking all over for salmon around this location and found it here. The front hostess/cashier was sweet and showed me what container the salmon steak came in along with rice, friend and a salad. The place is very clean and the owner was available making sure customers were satisfied with service. Presentation for the to go is superb and the flavors are on point. One can tell the cook loves what he does. I will be back despite the $20 price point because it's salmon and worth it.

    A nice place to eat in Jackson Heights. The upstairs dining area is very clean and spacious, was empty when we came. The service was also very good. We ordered the chicken kofta and grilled shrimp kebab plates. The chicken and rice were nust okay, but the shrimp was very tasty!

    This place was amazing and the food was delicious. The staff was super nice and gave us the best service. Just walking by, I did not expect much, but upon going upstairs, the dining area was really nice with plenty of tables. There's a window view all around the room as well. I highly recommend coming to this place if you're looking for a bite!

    Came here for a birthday dinner. Got the Branzino fish which tasted pretty good. The chicken shawarma was really good. The steak was okay (they didn't ask how we wanted It cooked, it was well done for us). We also got 2 family platters that was also good. Definitely recommend to try it out. I gave it four because they give too much rice and less of the meat and their corn brûlée tastes ehhhhhh. Please don't get the corn brûlée. Sorry not sorry. Nonetheless pretty nice looking place and good food.

    The food is great, and the portion matches the pricing (if a tad more expensive). The service here is great and the owners are very kind. I always get the grilled shrimp platter which tastes pretty good.

It was uncomfortable since our knees bumped into the table. However, we did not have to wait! We had immediate service any time we wanted it because someone was always behind the bar. Food (5/5): This is the best Indian food I've had in Queens!! Every since dish is packed with flavor, depth in the sauce and meats, and reasonably priced!! I liked how much sauce was in every dish. Samosa was perfect. The Goat Mandras was my favorite with a sauce that has spice but not super spicy considering the red chili symbol. Chicken Tikka was also very good. My garlic naan was SO good, has a crunch on one side but airy soft to bite. Unlimited little rice bowls?! This will be our go-to Indian after our first experience.

BUT the food is still fantastic! Great Indonesian restaurant with an intriguing menu! This family run restaurant is smallish but can probably seat around 26 people. Probably not ideal for multiple large groups at the same time but we made reservations early, and easily got a reservation for 8ppl. These were our shared menu choices (shared by 4ppl): ~ Salad Daun Teh Hijau $14 (green tea leaf salad w.cabbage, tomatoes, beans & green chillies): tasty Indonesian version of the tea leaf salad! I prefer the Burmese version but this salad was pretty tasty! ~ Nasi Lemak Rendang $17.75 (Beef Rendang w.spicy egg, anchovy, pickles; w.coconut rice): the portion size of beef rendang was very small but this dish was probably not meant for sharing, and more of an individual plate. It was delicious, nonetheless less! The accompaniments were terrific!! ~ Nasi Iga Bakar $22 (BBQ Ribs w.white rice): after seeing an IG video, this particular dish was on our radar! As with most social media, it heightened our expectations but it did not meet those expectations. Don't get me wrong: this was still a delicious dish; just not as great as depicted on those dang videos. lol The ribs could have been cooked a tad bit longer for tenderness but the flavors were great! ~ Nasi Goreng Petai $19 (fried rice w.shrimp & stinky beans): I've never had this dish before and the "stinky beans" weren't Stinky at all! Hahaha The large shrimps in the fried rice were perfect. Tasty dish! ~ Mie Goreng Belacan $17.50 (stir-fried shrimp paste noodles): This was a fave dish amongst the group. So flavorful and satisfying! * Don't sleep on the two hot sauces provided on your condiments tray! The bottle of Sambal Asli hot sauce was great; slightly sweet but spicy! BUT... beware of the other nondescript hot sauce in the squeeze bottle...which was FIRE!!! If you can handle this FIRE, then go for it...otherwise, proceed with caution! Hahaha. You've been warned! Service and hospitality were great; friendly, welcoming and efficient. I look forward to a return visit to explore their many other menu items!

    Even though we ordered delivery through DoorDash, Levant completely lived up to its stellar…read morereputation! We ordered the Mixed Fateer, and it was easily the highlight of the meal. It's kind of like a middle eastern quesadilla with cheese, vegetables, and meat but with a thinner bread layer that's crispy. The portion size of this was enormous--I'd honestly say it's enough for 5-6 people to share. Between the two of us, it stretched into 6-8 meals, and it reheated exceptionally well in the air fryer without losing its texture or flavor. We also ordered the beef shawarma platter and the chicken shawarma wrap (which was only around $13). I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken shawarma--it was flavorful, well-seasoned, and not overly dense or dry like shawarma can sometimes be. It ended up being one of the better wraps we've had! If you're debating whether this place travels well for delivery, I'd confidently say yes. The food maintained its quality remarkably well, which isn't always the case with Mediterranean food. That said, after this experience, I'm even more excited to visit the restaurant in person one day. One thing to keep in mind: the portions are generous and many of the dishes are quite hearty. If you're trying to eat lighter or are watching your calories, I'd recommend opting for one of their salads, like the fattoush, alongside your meal. Highly recommended whether you're ordering through DoorDash or dining in. We'll definitely be ordering again--and making a trip to Astoria to experience it fresh from the kitchen.

It was #25 on The New York Times' 2026 list of the 100 Best Restaurants in New York City, and being Lebanese myself, I wanted to finally check it out. The service & hospitality is amazing; you can't beat Arab hospitality. As we were waiting for our food, one of the workers gave us a fresh Zaatar Manousheh. It was incredible! The zaatar was just as good as it is in Lebanon and the dough is fluffy, light, and super fresh. The Mix Grill was smaller than expected for ~$30. The meats were all tender, well-seasoned, and juicy. They have a few sauces to choose from and all were good. I would get the Levant sauce and white sauce again! If it was a sandwich, I would definitely get the garlic sauce again. There was so much rice and fries left compared to the amount of meat we got. It just felt like something was missing or it needed more protein. The Mixed Feteer was so satisfying! Everything here is freshly made and it's evident from the crispy feteer exterior to the cheese pull and steaming ingredients inside. The white sauce helps cut through some of the fat and the Levant sauce added a slight kick to it. Both were delicious! It's loaded with ingredients and easily shareable among 2-4 people. Although space is tight, I would recommend coming with friends or ordering to go so you can try more items since they have so many delicious options on the menu. There's so much I still want to try; I would absolutely come back!
