I have a 'love hate' relationship with this place. When it first opened a few years ago, it was run…read moreby a sweet old man who didn't speak English but seemed to understand it because my order of lamb over rice with red and hot sauce, was always on point and I'm pretty sure it was authentic halal. Service was VERY slow, but I learned to call ahead, which helped a bit. Then I noticed 2 young guys there, same story with the good food, slow service. As of the last few months, D'Italia the pizza place from down the street, has moved in and taken over. They have both signs over the door and on the menu. The food is always good, but sometimes I get a packed plate for my money, other times not, sometimes they put white and red sauce when I ask for it, other times they forget one or the other, usually different pricing for the same order. Today was a day they forgot the red sauce, thankfully I had some sriracha at home but it's not the same. The order came to just under $12 and the dish was PACKED, my last visit it was $15 and there was a lot of room in the container to fill. Parking lot was a complete mess, that's almost always a guarantee. The same guy who ran D'Italia and was fast and knowledgeable, is also running this place and seemingly like it's always his first day on the job, along with everyone else working there. I also don't know how accurate it is to say their food is 'halal', which to me doesn't matter but it may to someone who is strictly halal. The parking lot is still atrocious at least they paved it, and there's not even anywhere else close to park if you can't get in. So my advice here is to proceed with caution..if you catch them on a good day, you'll love it, otherwise, you might not want to return. PS, the phone number posted on Yelp and of you google them, is disconnected but the one on the menu in the pic I posted is working. PPS, I hear from an avid fried chicken eater that theirs is not good, nor was it before D'Italia took over. Unfortunately this is the only place around where you can get a Kennedy Fried Chicken-type meal.

I was greeted by the staff and they patiently waited as I figured out my order. I ordered the rib tips with a side of Mac and cheese and corn soufflé, which also comes with corn bread. The plan was to take the food home and eat but the bbq smell was calling out to my stomach. The rib tips are cooked to perfection, falling off the bone and slathered with a healthy portion of bbq sauce. The corn soufflé is crunchy on the outside and sweet and gooey on the inside. Now, the Mac and Cheese - like nothing I've ever tasted. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Don't skip on the Mac and cheese. 20/10 highly recommended!

Updated Review - The defensiveness about the owner response says everything. No such conversation…read moretook place about the very friendly nut facility. That is false. At no point were we told that your restaurant could not safely accommodate her allergy, nor were we advised that we should not dine there because of the risk. We certainly were not presented with the conversation you are now describing as though we knowingly disregarded a clear warning and chose to proceed anyway. Had we been told that our daughter's allergy could not be safely accommodated, we would have left. Her safety is obviously more important than having dinner at any restaurant. What is especially troubling is that, despite notifying your staff of her peanut allergy, our daughter experienced an allergic reaction while dining at your establishment. That was the reason I had to leave abruptly. Trying to redirect the focus onto the fact that your kitchen uses third-party products or has a risk of cross-contamination does not change the fact that your staff was informed of her allergy before she was served. Regarding the service, reviewing timestamps on security footage does not capture the attentiveness, communication, delays, or overall quality of service at our table. And regarding the bill: I never stated that an employee walked up to me and verbally accused us of not paying. My concern was the manner in which my husband was treated after I suddenly had to leave with our daughter because she was having an allergic reaction. I had no reason to fabricate the negative portions of our experience. I would have much preferred for your response to simply acknowledge that a child with a disclosed peanut allergy experienced a reaction in your restaurant. Instead, your response appears focused on disputing our experience and placing responsibility back on us. That is disappointing and, frankly, reinforces my concerns about how this situation was handled. Previous Review: The food was delicious and beautifully presented, which unfortunately made the rest of our experience even more disappointing. Service throughout the meal was quite slow, but the most concerning issue occurred after our daughter experienced an allergic reaction. We had specifically informed our waiter that she has a peanut allergy, so having her develop a reaction during the meal was extremely alarming. Because of the situation, I had to leave the restaurant urgently with our daughter while my husband remained behind. What was particularly upsetting was the way the staff behaved afterward, seemingly concerned that we were attempting to leave without paying the bill. In the middle of dealing with our child having an allergic reaction, being treated as though we might skip out on the bill was incredibly upsetting, unprofessional, and frankly disturbing. Of course the bill was going to be paid. Our immediate priority in that moment was making sure our daughter was safe. While the food itself was excellent, restaurants have a responsibility to take food allergies seriously and to respond with professionalism and compassion when a medical situation occurs. Unfortunately, the way this situation was handled overshadowed what otherwise could have been a very enjoyable dining experience.

However, taking into consideration I spent a…read morelot of my 20s and 30s eating Halal from a street cart off a street in Manhattan at 2 AM how bad can it really be? Does this compare to a combo over rice in the middle of Manhattan at 2am waiting for the next subway home after a night out with your friends? Not even close because nothing will ever compete on the level of greatness a combo over rice will have on those nights. With all that being said, this isn't a bad spot for a combo over rice or a quick Gyro in the area and they are open late and are extremely friendly. It's also inside a gas station so grab a pack of smokes, some beer or even an unofficial Mets hat because why not? What regular Fans of Halal should know is the hot sauce is the hottest hot sauce I've ever had from any Halal spot ever. It's extremely tasty but trust me and be careful. At other Halal places I always get extra hot sauce but here three stripes is more than enough.
