Comfort food and great prices. Quality and tasty. Love lamb shanks. Beef and chicken. Halal burger

this is an update , my favorite sandwich shop and more has reopened finally after 6 months of renovating updating. from the sausage, chicken, lamb, sandwiches , to the lamb stew, couscous dishes , gyros, burgers , fries and more , you cant lose at any pick. new front clean kitchen, updated comfy seating in the back and place is brighter and interior has a modern inviting look which in the past was lacking . got my sausage and chicken sandwiches with hot spicy salad , harissa sauce on the side , order of no salt added addictive fries and its a wrap.best halal shop shop in the area and beyond and glad they are back in biz .check out the extensive menu and enjoy.

FINALLY, they reopened (they updated the establishment and were close). Their speciality is North African / Moroccan / Middle Eastern. The establishment is clean, limited seating; staff are friendly and courteous!!! Very found of their lamb shanks and vegetables side and mint tea.

This place does it right. From the beef tajine, lamb shank, liver sandwich to the morroccan mint tea. Solid super good and affordable staple spot for morroccan food. This place is one of the best. Also open very late. Great quality food. Love this spot. Highly recommend if you are on steinway.

This is a local place. The customers are mostly Muslims who are looking for a halal friendly home cooked meal (i.e. it isn't a gentrified dating spot.) All of this means is that you get really nice no-frills food at a cheap price (plus you pick up the food at the counter, so no need to tip.) Other reviewers mentioned about the staff being rude. Actually, the guy who seems to be the boss is kind and friendly, but some of the other staff don't speak much English, so you do have to be patient when you place your order; however, I'm telling you... it's worth it. They also don't over salt the food (which is great if you have high blood pressure) and they don't put lot's of strange spices in the stuff. All in all, if you want to play 3 times the price at a fancy schamncy place that serves beer, go elsewhere. If you want a nice home cooked meal (the beef is so tender it falls apart by just looking at it) GO HERE REGULARLY!

I always love to come & enjoy the food coz they have best halal options!! Those who are looking for halal food it's a must try :)

I usually get the Kofta Kabab but this time it was a bit burnt. I also like hungry man which includes sausage & other meats & is pretty damn good. I really like the Kofta Kabab too. Their steak is too dry & bland though. My brother choked on it & I thought he was gonna die. Their fries are ok. The salad is good. The rice platters come with fries & salad but the sandwiches dont.

Tajine, made with either meat, poultry or fish, is a cross between a slow cooked stew and a pot roast. It is an age old nomadic food named after the earthen pot in which the dish is cooked. There are broadly two styles, .Qidra style Tajine, which is made with "Saman" (clarified butter); and the Muqawlli style, which is made in olive oil. Dried fruits like dates, apricots and plums are added to give it its unique taste. Needless to say, there are spices, some very exotic ones, that additionally flavor the dish. In some places, they make the Tajine by smoking the earthen pot over a gentle olive wood fire. The beauty of the dish is that it is gourmet proof. When it comes to Tajine, any day of the week, I will take a Grand Ma over a fancy Michelin Chef. BUT sadly there are very few real Tajine places in the tri state area. There is hardly anyone who can do it like Tanjawi Sandwich Shop. This place consistently gets it right. Yes, it started off decades ago, as a hole in the wall, sandwich shop with a mile-long line waiting to order food. It is a messy and chaotic place. Recently it has expanded and has added a few tables. It is still messy and chaotic. But very few can compete against this humble place in terms of the sandwich or its Tajine. Generally, it has at least two Tajines (Chicken and Lamb Shanks) but occasionally has some very unusual Tajines also. Fans of grilled meats will be thrilled. They have a vast selection. The lamb sausage, Merguez, is outstanding (sandwich or platter). They have grilled Rocky Mountain Oysters on the menu too. Start off a meal at Tanjawi with the best Harira Soup in United States. (period). Harira is a legendary hearty soup. made of tomato, lentils, and chickpeas. Includes meat, but can be vegetarian. Then have a Tajine or Grilled Meat for your main dish. Save some room, for the mint tea and a flat bread pancake with honey (desert). Yes, this place is a messy hole in the wall. Very chaotic, but who cares, the food is unparalleled.
