I took away two stars for two reasons:
1/ The waiter was quite rude
2/ Anything other than brunch menu here (e.g. burgers) are only mediocre

Nevertheless, the actual brunch menu is not so bad. The fluffy pop-over bread which is the specialty of the…More »

In my opinion, any good kabab place in Jackson Heights is bound to be crowded and messy, so I will only reserve my comment to the food here.

Great kababs!  We went there as a group and had boti kabab and tandoori chicken with naan.  Mmmm....even the…More »
