This place is just good and always good. I have visited multiple times for years and quality is a seal for them. Eat here and get the fried plantain stuffed with meet, shrimps and chicken. Good price, good presentation, great flavor, nice portion, good service, fast, quick. They mean business and they deliver good gastronomy. Enjoy. Very recommended!

Treat yourself! Dining at Zum's is an experience. For starters, the goulash soup is amazing. The German salad consisting of beets, onions, carrots, coleslaw and cucumber salad is the best. The wurst platter, with German potato salad...awesome! There are no words for the jaggerschnitzel. Thank you, Aurora for your wonderful service! Prosit

My husband and I had lunch at London Lennie's on a Saturday afternoon. The lunch special I had was one of their specialties, Battered and fried fish and shrimp with french fries, all delicious. An individual loaf of bread came with pats of butter and cole slaw came with the meal as well.

I'm in town often on business. This restaurant will take you on a dining experience like few do. From the family style and generous portions to the wait staff and the atmosphere. But most especially the quality of the food prepared.
I was encouraged to have the Veal Parmigiana and it was nothing short of spectacular. My friend had the Breast of Chicken in Lemon and Butter. Each dish was beyond expectation. The bread for the table was most excellent and they make their own table wine on site. It was a joy to speak with the owner for about 15 minutes to learn some great history of the restaurant and the many famous people who have dined there.
After enjoying the amazing food it was a must to have a cappuccino and a cannoli. I have had many a cannoli in my life. Few were exceptional, these were exceptional. The proper shell and a filling not to sweet or too creamy. To die for honestly.

This neighborhood Peruvian restaurant has a large menu, but the roast chicken is the definite star. Served with yellow or white rice and beans. Also had the shrimp in garlic sauce. Sauce was amazing, but shrimp were overcooked and a bit tough. Generous portions, so you'll definitely have enough left over for lunch the next day.

Got into NYC on a late flight. Finally got checked into the hotel and were looking for something good and fast to eat. We called Pizza port about 9:50 p.m. they took our order for 7 people to be delivered to our hotel. Received our food about 10:20 p.m. Great salads and burgers. Looking at their brochure afterwards I saw they close at 10:00 p.m. So a huge thank you for delicious fast food and great service.

Went to The Door with my mother. I had a Wonderful authentic Jamacian meal of seafood soup and goat curry. My mom had the steamed snapper. Service was attentive and timely. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant. Only downside was a strong musty smell in the dining area.

From the moment we walked in we were impressed. The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff cordial, and the menu offered a great selection. We found this through Trip Advisor so you can believe it is really good. Our recommendations are: Mescaline w Gorgonzola and Walnuts, Fried Calamari, Linguini DeMare, Veal Piccata, and Sole. They have a Pizza oven which we would have loved to try - their selections were great. Best experience in Jamaica and Howard Beach NYC.
