Goat Biryani and Beef Tehari at an Astoria Halal Counter
Order at the counter, then settle in for goat biryani and bone-in fish curry in a casual Astoria dining room.
Order at the Counter 🍛
The routine here rewards regulars. You order at the counter before sitting, then pay once the plates are cleared. The 100 percent halal kitchen runs on Bangladeshi staples, and the goat biryani and beef tehari carry the deep, slow-cooked spice that keeps this corner of 36th Avenue busy. Regulars steer newcomers toward the fish curry with rice and lentil soup, bones and all, and toward chingri bhorta for something sharper. The dining room stays air-conditioned and unfussy, built for lingering over a last cup of milk tea. Doors open at 10:00 AM and hold until 10:30 PM every day, and a late goat biryani is always within reach.
