Pretty good halal spot in a decent location. Stopped by for a quick lunch today. I was pretty amused when I walked in because it looks like they just took the cart and parked it inside the building. I got mine to go but they do have a decent amount of seating. I ordered the chicken and lamb combo over rice with salad. The meats and rice were tasty, and it was a good serving. The salad was tasty as well, just a very small helping. The white sauce was the only sauce I got, and it was delicious. Worth a stop in for sure. Just be aware it's a few bucks more than if it was from a cart.
Lamb and chicken taste good. I like how they put fries in platter too. Everything together just tasted good with white sauce on top. Cost $12.
A 100% experience. The food is always great, I never have to question that. The atmosphere when picking up the food is amazing and you can tell the customers are genuinely happy. Service is great, just ubered some food to work and everything is exactly how I asked for it. Thank you for being the best Halal spot!!
Place looks very unassuming on the inside but the halal food here was some of the most flavorful halal food I've ever had. Not very cheap but I haven't really found any places in Queens/LI with platters that are both affordable and great quality. I would gladly pay the extra money for the quality food here, and I'm surprised that I only just discovered Hamza and Medina. Guy who made my food was friendly and this place accepts credit cards. Edit: Don't forget to ask for fries on your food
Recommend by a friend of mine today. craving halal food; I decided to take the drive to this spot. I was highly satisfied with the customer service and the delicious food. I ordered chicken over rice with salad and a side of pita bread. As I noticed the cool signatures around the restaurant. The gentleman behind the counter had explain that people from all over come not only to try the food but also to make positive little messages for themselves; if they were ever to revisit. I would highly recommend this location and others including the food trucks themselves if you are craving for Halal food.
