Best food on Long Island. Great atmosphere and great customer service! If you want real and the best afghan food here’s the place for that! Food is outstanding!

Delicious food- got the deluxe combo and it did not disappoint. Great portions and the meat is delicious. The samosas and mantoo are also SO good. The owners are so kind and thoughtful and really provide such amazing service on top of a spectacular meal.

Best Kabuli Palaw I have ever had - and it is my favorite dish! The white sauce and green sauces are particularly good. All for an extremely good price. Jawad and Meena run an amazing restaurant - it is worth coming back just for them! Tashakor!!

Mashallah best place , best customer service . Food 10/10 .

Very happy I decided to come here. I ordered a combo for myself and a lamb wrap for my mother. The combo was so tasty with good chuncks of tender lamb, chicken, and chicken kofta. The white sauce was great as well and the value was good overall. My mother is a picky eater but she loved the wrap. Got the sauce on the side for her but she enjoyed that too. I have to mention that the service was fantastic. The woman who took my order was so nice and really made it a great experience. Keep up the great work

Best place to test afghan traditional food very clean and affordable price best service I highly recommend to my friends and family

I'm very happy I came here. The chicken that came with my chicken over rice was very flavorful & rich tasting. It was better than the chicken over rice plates I've gotten from other places in the area. The people behind the counter were also super nice & friendly. I would recommend coming here

Halal Express Kabab House truly holds the title for consistency. I’ve never had a negative experience ordering from here. The food is always made fresh and delicious. The rice is aromatic, soft and fluffy. The meat (I normally order fish and chicken kebab) are always well seasoned, cooked thoroughly and tender. The portions are huge and very generous. For sauce enthusiasts, plenty is provided. The owners, as a small business, are the best. They are always warm and kind, welcoming you into their restaurant and asking how my family is doing. This restaurant is my go-to for large family platters when having guests over.
