I did not have any idea where to go, so I looked to Yelp and found Kosher Castle. I was shocked by the outside of the building. It looked like an abandoned former Burger King. I did not think there was an active business inside. There was no signage indicating where the entrance was. The entire building was filthy when we finally figured out how to get inside it matched the outside of the building. It was not clean. There is no one there to greet you except for several unhappy workers behind the counter, who process the order. It turns out, it was a former Burger King! Whoever moved into this building didn't do one thing to improve its appearance. It was horrible and dirty. You could still see the Burger King decals on the windows. Like a fast food restaurant, there are several interactive stations where you order your food, and pay. The graphics, the selection, and the ease of ordering, brightened my outlook. There were dozens of choices. The accompanying photos and descriptions were extremely helpful. I ordered a Thursday night special, which was a pastrami sandwich on a baguette, with pickles and coleslaw, accompanied by a portion of Cholent. I also ordered as a side, some Kishka with gravy. My daughter did not feel well and did not want to eat anything. We were given a number on the receipt and we sat on the side. There was only one table of about eight sisters, and a couple of gentlemen who were seated at separate tables. The presentation was exactly like that of a fast food restaurant. Everything was in plastic containers, which were marked clearly, as to contents. It was a fair pastrami sandwich. Slightly greasy from the microwave oven they used to heat it up. There was not a lot of pastrami. I thought the coleslaw was delicious and the pickles were good. The Cholent was the best I've ever eaten. I was surprised by the quality of the food. It came out relatively fast, but again this is a fast food restaurant. I would go back there to eat if I had to, and nothing else was open, because of the food quality, and the huge variety of choices. I did not think the pricing was outrageous at all. $19 for the special and $5 for the Kishka. But the building on the outside is an embarrassment. The inside is not much better. The staffs behavior was odd. No one was particularly helpful, and no one looked happy at all. There was some thing off. As we were leaving a young man in a Yarmulke came in,and was talking to the "Manager". I couldn't help but overhear. There was an issue about "Dinero" so maybe that's why people were unhappy. They weren't getting paid. Either way, I didn't need to hear it, however it helped explain the disregard for the appearance of the restaurant, as well as the staff, and the customers. I wouldn't go back there unless I absolutely had to.

The chicken avocado wrap has lettuce, tomatoes, onions, grilled chicken, and avocado. I personally felt it is a nice light meal to enjoy, although it needed to be seasoned a bit more.

The chips are made fresh on the spot along with the salsa, so those are both a delight. The atmosphere is pretty nice; it is a small location, and it is a great Mexican restaurant.

That's rather generous in a time where most other restaurants are busy charging you credit card fees! Online ordering now has convenient options for indicating your spice level (mild, medium, spicy). Don't be too scared by "spicy" if you like spicy food. I get my lamb bhuna at full spicy level and it's very tolerable. Nothing like you'd have somewhere outside of America (eg. London, Ireland). Lamb Bhuna, chana masala, chicken Tikka masala are standards for me to order. Sometimes saag, sometimes tandoori. It's all generally good here, though the tandoori is occasionally dry (reheated food perhaps?). Thanks for the coupons, being super friendly and cooking tasty food!

We've driven past Don Chicken plenty of times saying, "We have to try this," and on a Friday night we finally made it our date night. The spot itself is simple, with plenty of parking, and fully focused on serving must-try Korean fried chicken. I walked in ready to order one of everything, but the cashier quickly realized I was new and helped narrow it down to chicken, dumplings, and an order of fries. Let me be clear, if you're picturing small buffalo-style wings from a local wing spot, reset your expectations. These were full-size wings. We ordered them plain and soy-glazed, and both were excellent. The dumplings, also soy-glazed, were just as good. From the first bite, the crunch and flavor hit immediately. It wakes up your senses and makes you realize this isn't just chicken. You can taste the care that goes into the prep, and it absolutely shows. Despite being busy, the service was friendly and attentive, which always makes the experience better. When we finished eating, it looked like we barely made a dent, plenty of leftovers that were happily enjoyed by the family later at home. If I could change one thing, it would be having a beer to pair with the meal, but that's a minor detail. This is a quality spot and an easy go-to for Korean fried chicken in the Hudson Valley. 5/5 stars.

I love that the owner took creative liberty to have Korean-imported exclusive flavors (both of which I ordered). This exclusivity makes this place unique. I love that the owner cares about the quality and remains knowledgeable about healthy techniques to maintain high-standard food quality. The fries alone are delicious with or without the cheese snowing seasoning. The cheese snowing has a unique subtle sweetness and faint sharp cheese taste, which is impressively yummy. The onion rings have a perfect crunch and great buttery earthy flavor. The purring seasoning is not too cheesy, has a faint nutty, sweet flavor that pairs with the parsley. Okay, enough about the food, haha, the service is stunning compared to some restaurants I've been to. The owner is polite, humble, genuine, knowledgeable, friendly, positive, and has a radiant energy that leaves you feeling happy. I loved the conversation we exchanged. The owner even retains that energy with every customer that enters, which was truly impressive. The above and beyond nature combined with strict food quality standards and care is amazing. So food and service are stellar. What about the ambiance? The energy is a calm, peaceful, positive environment where you are allowed to enjoy your meal in serenity even with a TV on. Overall, this restaurant well earned all 5 stars, and if I could rate above 5 stars, I would! Thank you for a delightful meal and remarkable experience.

Spring Valley, NY - I've ordered takeout from this Middle Eastern & Israeli eatery a few times and…read morereally enjoyed the food. The chicken/lamb plates I've ordered are heaped full of meat shavings - carved generously off a spit - and come with non-boring sides, sauces, and pita bread. They have shawarma, falafel, mezze, kabobs, salads, schnitzel, and more. I still have to try the Yemenite soup which looks like such great comfort food. On Thursday nights (leil shishi) they offer special Jewish delicacies such as chulent, kugel, yapchik, and kishka. Because the restaurant is kosher, the prices are higher than what you would normally pay for similar food, but you do get both quality and quantity. The hummus is next level - rich, creamy, almost like a tahini. The pitas you would fold that with are thick and fluffy with a nice chewy texture. The rice is seasoned and flavorful. And I love the various sides, especially the fried onions and smoked eggplant which has a deep smoked flavor. The seasoning are heavier (for example the chicken is very cumin-y), but the food sure isn't bland. There are digital kiosks you can place your order from - I always like having this option as not only does it let you circumvent human interaction (less pressure if you're indulgently mulling over your choices at a larghetto pace), but who doesn't like a picture menu!
