Manhattan MANHATTAN The Manhattan list goes from North to South Halal Kitchen 2127 Second Avenue (between 109th & 110th St.) New York, NY 212-722-5250 Halal Chinese Food. Take the 6 train to 110th St. Halal Pizzeria 1974 2nd Avenue (between 101st and 102nd St.) New York, NY 212-996-9780 Pizza, pasta, and chicken. Take the 6 train to 103rd St. Halal Indo-Pak Restaurant 1750 First Ave. (Between 90th & 91st St) 212-987-8150 Take the 4/5/6 trains to 86th St. Al-Baraka 154 E. 55th St.(near Lexington) New York, NY 10022 212-546-9007 This is a brand new halal restaurant that is next to a new Masjid. I tried the lunch buffet and thought it was good. This is a nice place where you can sit and have a waiter take your order or you can do carryout. Be sure to show your support. I do not know of another halal restaurant within 25 blocks of Al-Baraka. Take the 4,5,6 to 59th St. Around the Clock: Pizza, Bakery & Much More 521 8th Avenue (corner of 36th St) 212-695-2500 This takeout/delivery place has an interesting variety of menu items. From cinnamon buns and chocolate frosted donuts to pizza and various sandwiches, this place is very cool. It is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Take the A,C,E to 34th St. Take the 6 train to 28th St. to get to these restaurants listed below that are around Lexington and 28th St. Niamat Kada Restaurant 124 Lexington Avenue (Between 28th & 29th) New York, NY 10016 212-683-6207 This place serves Pakistani/Indian/Bangladeshi cuisine. I thought the tandoori chicken, the bread, and the plain and brown rice were good. Some of the other stuff was a bit too spicy for me. One thing this restaurant needs to improve on is to keep their food hotter instead of microwaving it anytime someone orders something. Joy Restaurant 127 E. 28th St. (between Lexington & Park Avenue) New York, NY 10016 212-685-0808 I thought this place was ok if you like Pakistani and Indian food.

Village Pizzeria & Restaurant 35 First Avenue (Between 2nd & 3rd St) New York, NY 212-677-5500 I had a hamburger pizza delivered to me and I have to be honest and tell you that it was horrible. Incredibly greasy and it appears that they topped it with kabob meat. I think their cheese pizza is ok though. Ok, I made a trip over to this restaurant and tried their chicken parmesan. It was not too bad. Their pizza also did not look too bad. I think it could just be they don't know how to make a hamburger topped pizza. I think the place is ok overall though I am still not happy with the service. The following restaurants are near Masjid Manhattan(Warren St. Masjid). Take the A,C,E to the Chambers/World Trade Center Stop. Pakistan Tea House 176 Church St. (near Warren St. Masjid) New York, NY 10023 212-240-9800 One of the better places in Manhattan. I recommend the chicken tikka(the red chicken) and the chicken masala(chicken in an orangish sauce) which I think is the best entree there. Taste of Tandoor 149 Church St New York, NY 212-619-1200 Indian/Pakistani food. Take the A,C, or E train to the Chambers St. stop. It and Pakistan Tea House are located near Masjid Manhattan(Warren St. Masjid). Bangal Curry 111 Church Street New York, NY 10007 212-267-8342 Pakistani/Indian/Bangladeshi Cuisine.
