While I prefer other spots in Jackson Heights for my South Asian food, I really like Jackson Diner's baingan burta (eggplant w/ ginger), great flavor & kick, vegetarian. Big party room upstairs too.
Make sure to get the fries and hotdog mix. It's called "salchi-papa" tastes great with the chicken! Also drink the sangria they make it exceptionally well!
Sunday brunch is the jam. Try and get there before 1:30pm if possible to avoid the crowd. The food is fantastic!
Village Voice is excited to have Maima's Liberian Bistro And Bar at the 2012 ChoiceEats food fest! Full list of restaurants here: http://ow.ly/8QjDQ
Co-owner Matthew Katakis said it's first and foremost a butcher shop, with pork chops, ribs and burgers available from a meat counter. Inside, a sign reads: "We cook what we sell, sell what we cook." Read more.
The appetizer snacks are scrumptious. Go during the week so you can get the lunch special.
"BUCO" ILONI - tortellini stuffed with osso buco... if that doesn't sell you, i don't know what will.
If you've never been I suggested the specials they have (Each day is a specific special and they do not dissapoint). Another Queens Gem - you wont find such taste and autheticity in Manhattan.
Mild spicy is actually quite spicy. Servings are family sized portions not single serves.

Go to Il Bambino and try the smoked tomato bisque when it's chilly outside. Then try a sampling of the extraordinary Italian crostinis. Truffled egg salad with shaved speck for the win! Read more.
Incredibly popular Greek seafood spot with waits that can stretch an hour or two. Well-cooked if barebones seafood and a lively atmosphere.
Through October, this wine bar holds a pop-up farm stand selling local produce from LIC rooftop farm Brooklyn Grange, including spinach, basil, lettuce, rainbow Swiss chard, and herbs. Read more.
The owner is very hands-on, was super concerned about our food and overall experience. And he brought my sister and I shots of limoncello before we left. Great customer service lives here! .
Winner of Best Greek in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! The fasolia plaki will make you rethink your childhood hatred of lima beans.
Village Voice is proud to welcome John Brown Smokehouse to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. Best item on the menu is the burnt brisket edges.
Carnitas is the best! Takes awhile to get your order, but it is totally worth it.
Very authentic Korean BBQ in NYC, definitely better than those in Korea Town in Manhattan! Pork belly is very nice with the dips and green onions!
The xiao long bao here are huge, have thick chewy skins, lots of soup and delicious filling. You can watch them being made in the kitchen! Explore Flushing Chinatown while you wait to get in. - Alexa
My favorites at this strictly vegetarian (and mainly vegan) spot include the butter masala dosa dripping with ghee, and uppma, a creamy porridge studded with nuts, kari leaves, and black mustard seeds
I love this place, I'm here every weekend. It's near perfect the only problem is that it's way to Hot in here...wish they had some sort of a vent system and the place would be perfect.
This restaurant never disappoints. The mussels appetizer was perfectly garlicky. The trout almondine was tender and delicious the charming hosts and waitstaff just enhanced our dining experience.
Excellent chicken tikka masala... I just wish some nan was included with the meal.
