I recently went to an Afghan restaurant in Astoria, and it reminded my of the very first time I had…read moreAfghan food. It was probably about 30+ years ago, here at Kabul Kebab House in Flushing! It was (and still is) one of the very few non-Chinese restaurants in the area. I used to walk past this restaurant all the time. You could see them grilling all sorts of kebabs by the window. People used to just stop and gaze into their window. The smell of those kebabs just made you drool! Well, I tried their food one day and I've been hooked ever since. Phenomenal food here!! I credit my love for Brown Basmati Rice to Kabul Kebab House, since I tried it for the first time there! They also have a sister restaurant in Westbury, Long Island.

Very laid back atmosphere. Not a fancy place. Located across the street from the botanical garden…read more Food here is tasty and totally hits right. Ordered the big plate chicken that comes with homemade noodles. The chicken is flavorful and the noodles are the perfect accompaniment. Love the texture of the noodles. Nice and chewy. We loved the lamb skewers. Generous portion for $4.99. Tasted like quality meat with the perfect combo of lean and fat. The baked buns are actually meat pies baked with phyllo dough. I love phyllo dough and the filling was very tasty but would have preferred more filling as it washer dough heavy. I love milk tea so I had to order the Nurlan milk tea. Huge portion. Literally came in a bowl. Found it tasteless. Service here is friendly and fast.

I never had Uyghur halal food before, but many reviewers say that this restaurant delivers an…read moreauthentic taste of Xinjiang with its vibrant spices and handcrafted noodles. This place is a hidden gem blending seamlessly on many of the business on Main Street. The dishes are hearty and blend Central Asian and Chinese influences. We had the following: * Big Plate Chicken - A family size dish of tender bone in chicken, potatoes, and bell peppers simmered in a bold, spicy sauce over hand pulled flat noodles. The Portions are generous hence the name big plate chicken. * Spicy Lagman with Lamb - The hand pulled noodles are chewy with thin slices of lamb, red peppers, and onions in a delicious sauce. Since this was my first visit and I had to gauge the level of spiciness. We asked them to go light on the heat. Just a note, unless you specify your protein, lamb meat is the default. * Chicken & Lamb Kawap (Kebabs) These were Juicy, charcoal-grilled skewers with a light and satisfying char. The lamb kawap had subtle cumin notes, while the chicken remains moist and smoky. Ideal as a starter and is served with raw onion slices, dry spice mix and a small piece of pita bread. * Salted Milk Tea - Definitely an acquired taste! This traditional Uyghur drink leans on the savory and salty side, not "my cup of tea" but worth trying for curiosity's sake. Despite the limited English fluency among the staff, service is warm and attentive. The team patiently explains dishes using menus with photos. The place is simply decorated and clean, with a low-key vibe. Plating is simple and uninspiring, but the flavors are complex and simple put, Awesome! There is plenty of metered parking on Main street close to the restaurant. A definite must try if you never had Uyghur cuisine before, one taste and you'll be hooked for life.

I placed a pickup order through Uber for the four-person family combo. When I arrived, I had to…read morewait about 10 minutes at the counter before anyone came to assist me. After receiving the order, I asked why the green sauce--commonly included as a side with this type of meal--was missing. The employee at the counter told me they had run out. However, I noticed that there was a bottle of the same green sauce on every table in the restaurant, which made the explanation confusing and frustrating. Another concern was that the restaurant refused to accept credit or debit card payments. In 2026, declining standard electronic payment methods creates unnecessary inconvenience for customers. Unfortunately, the food quality also did not meet expectations. The lamb chops were very small and appeared dry and overcooked. Overall, the portion sizes and quality did not justify the price. Based on this experience, I would recommend that customers consider other nearby options. In my experience, Shirazi Kebab offers larger portions in their family meals and the food quality has been noticeably better.

Looked at the pictures and staff said no more and said get the sandwich. I asked if it was lamb and he said yes. Sandwich now cost 12.00 bucks. Had no idea how spicy this was since I do not eat spicy stuff. Good thing I got a glass of Prosecco with water at the hotel bar. I be back to try other items. Saw a customer walked off with Lamb skewers which looked yummy. As for ambiance, there are slew of food stalls and center area chairs and tables for patrons.

It was funny enough but the food that arrived was something to take seriously. It was Lamb over hand pulled noodles mixed with potatoes, some carrots and bell pepper. The food is all Halal and was actually pretty good. Spice level was low but as a dish it was filling and different. Glad I tried it.

You get super…read moretender chicken, juicy meat kabobs, and flavorful lamb chops, plus a big plate of rice and salad. It feeds 4-5 people, but let's be real, I could probably take down half of it myself. Pro tip: ask for raisins and carrots in the rice--it takes it to another level! Now, a little heads-up: the family meal used to come with bread, but now it's $2 extra. Is it worth it? 100% yes. Their bread + white sauce = absolute magic. And speaking of the white sauce, I always grab a bottle to take home because once you try it, you'll want to put it on everything. Food: Friendliness: Price: Final verdict? If you're craving a solid feast that hits the spot every time, this is the move. Just don't forget the extra bread--you'll thank me later!

Saw the reviews and decided to give Sevan Restaurant a try. First thing, this is an Armenian restaurant designed for catering a party or special event. Very opulent in its decor. Walked in and had to ask if they were serving food because the restaurant space was set up to cater to celebrations. The restaurant was empty except for a table with two women. My friend and I had a round table that normally seat more than 4 people and we ended up with a lot of table space! Our server was very polite and attentive. We ordered a babaganoush, a pita pizza that's folded in half with ground beef, a Mediterranean salad and a kabob combo over rice. Food was tasty and loved the salad dressing. If you want an elegant restaurant to yourselves, this is the place.

Chicken tikka was ok. Rice was good, salad was a big soggy and pita could have been bigger considering this is meant to be shareable. Best part was the lamb chop. Wish it had one piece more.
