Choopan Grill |
|
15 West Marie Street, Hicksville, NY 11801
Choopan is a little more polished than your average kebab joint, but it’s the Afghani dishes that draw local families here. Thick, dill-seasoned yogurt is featured prominently: in the creamy dressing over an iceberg-lettuce salad; in a cool, salty drink laced with cucumber; in a drizzle over a plate of sautéed eggplant. A squirt of the topping definitely adds tremendous flavour to the kebabs. The dish of ashak—delicate, almost translucent dumplings stuffed with minced leeks in a rich meat-and-lentil sauce—is a unique treat, as is the refreshing firnee, a milk pudding dessert with cardomom and chopped pistachios.

★★★★★ Best Afghani food on Long Island. Great service, in my opinion the food is better local places. I've been to a ton of Afghani places all over the area but, Choopan is the best! Posted on April 18, 2012 |

★★★★★ Still one of my favorite Afghan places on the planet. Have had some of the best times here with friends. Food is plentiful and it has great flavor. The Choopan Grill out in Selden is also very good which made me really happy! Overall, highly recommended. Posted on February 18, 2012 |

★★★★★ Love this place! everything on the menu is great. I really like the pasta, I know most people don't order that, but it's very good. But so are the lamb chops, the lamb boti, the chicken, everything really. The one thing I have a problem with is their service. IT's really deteriorated. Posted on July 6, 2010 |

★★★★☆ The food is delicious although a bit pricy. Very nicely decorated restaurant. Posted on March 12, 2009 |

|
★★★☆☆ The food is good but very over priced and the portions have shrunk significantly since people started flocking here. You cant really go wrong with anything on the menu. Again very pricey esp for the portions. Posted on January 17, 2009 |

★★★★★ Good food and service. The portions were a decent size, and this place is sooo much better than the one in Flushing!! Posted on November 8, 2008 |

★★★★★ Pretty clean place, I am a big fan of kebabs and afghani food and have been to many places. I loved the food here, it was so flavor-ful, yummy. The quantity was fair and so were the prices. I had some left over, so bought it home and my brother loved it and had asked were I had gotten it from. I plan on returning again and again Posted on August 19, 2008 |

★☆☆☆☆ Terrible. NO MEAT!! Cold food. No flavor. The restaurant operator has no clue of real Afghani food. Afghans are very generous and big-hearted people. This restaurant is a shame to all Afghanis. These guys are stingiest and miserly when it comes to meat. The kababs were skinniest I have ever seen. I very politely told the waitress that the "kababs appeared to be on a diet". She just chuckled and did not even bother to respond. I told her again and she just ignored. Then at the time of check, I told her if they had anything on the menu that offers a generous of meat? She looked at me like the deer in a headlight. If the owner really cares about customer feedback then talk to me. I will tell you my candid & honest opinion. Posted on April 7, 2008 |

★★★★★ Good food, great price, clean and pleasant setting. Definately recommend it... Posted on February 12, 2008 |

★★★★☆ I have to say that I am now a fan of Choopan. I like the Chicken Kofte Kabab and the Burani Badunjan is excellent. I like how they give you a naan with that as well.
This place due to viral marketing is now pretty packed and they have a party room which is ehh but hey they have one.
Good food and the prices are excellent. Posted on August 27, 2007 |

★★★★★ It is excellent! Posted on May 6, 2006 |

★★★★★ They have great food with great service and wonderful prices. They are 100% halal Posted on April 24, 2006 |

|
★★★☆☆ I personally think this place is not ALL THAT but its good anyways. WHat some people might not know is that this restaurant has a small place in the back for private parties, which can fit up to 120 people. Also this secret place is usually used often for people who decide to pray in the back since it is a more private location. Posted on March 4, 2006 |

★★★★★ The restaurant is nicely decorated, with dim lights and nice oriental music. It's alwyas clean and the service is excellent. The cheff is polite and nice and so are the waitresses. The food is beyond excellence when it comes to real afghani food and if I havd to compare them to any other afghani restaurant this would definately be number 1. I love this restaurant and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have fun with the family eating halal food and just enjoy everything. This place is number 1. Posted on January 2, 2006 |

★★★★★ Masha'Allah, great food! I had a shindig at my house catered by them - and everything turned out superb, Alhamdulillah. Posted on September 20, 2005 |
|
|
★★★★★ I ate on 2 different occasions from here and food was excellent both times. I think it's better than the original Choopan on Main St. Parking is also easier :) Make sure to order the extra naan bread, it's $1 more for one piece but very much worth it. Posted on May 29, 2005 |

★★★★★ They catered a dinner at Stony Brook. Food was really good. Posted on April 25, 2005 |
|
|
★★★★★ Store recently opened (April 2005). Same owners as the famous Choopan Kebab located in Flushing. Food is not too expensive and tastes realllly good. They've catered a bunch of family events and will cater an MSA event, food is top quality. Definetely recommend Posted on April 19, 2005 |
