Middle Eastern Food Tour After Dark in Little Egypt Astoria NYC (Video)
Where to eat Middle Eastern food in NYC. Great Middle Eastern food in New York City can be found in Astoria Queens on Steinway St. Little Egypt is the nickname of this stretch of Steinway Street. But, you can also find Moroccan food, Lebanese food, Palestinian food and more.
In this video, we will take you on a Middle Eastern food tour after dark. Here, we take you to three spots for three different cuisines, all on one block!
Since this is a feast, we enlisted two friends who are also a vlogging couple from right here in Queens, Daniel & Naz! We had so much fun feasting with them on this collaboration!
Watch Daniel & Naz’s epic three part series on this night.

On Fridays only, they offer a delicious fluffy veggie-topped couscous. We ordered this with freshly-grilled merguez, a deliciously fragrant lamb sausage.
2: AbuQir Seafood
24-19 Steinway St

AbuQir is an amazing Egyptian seafood spot in Astoria. Here, the fish is fresh and laid out on the ice, cooked to order. For this meal, we ordered babaghanoush, grilled scallops and a mixed seafood tagine.
3: Duzan
24-11 Steinway St
Astoria, NY 11103
Delicious Palestinian food at this Astoria gem. Here, we ordered a great spread of three dishes. First, the made to order foul mudammas. Next, the abu ghosh hummus, topped with pine nuts. Finally, we got the chicken shawarma platter with fries.
Hey!
Looks like a ton of fun, and I definitely want to try these places…would you feel comfortable at Al Kalam as a solo woman (or a pair of women?). I’ve lived in Lebanon and speak decent Arabic, but I don’t know how conservative the Astoria Arab community is.
Thanks!
Hi Rose! You should have no issues at El Khayam. Hope you get to check it out and enjoy!
