Reviews for Hamido Seafood in Queens, NY
OMG... First i was skeptical but let me tell you... The food was delicious ????. The seafood was fresh. You pick what you want... and they cook it how you want. The staff was friendly and very professional. They always came by our table to check and see ifwe needed or wanted anything. There is no parking on the premises but there is a lot around the corner as well as streetparking. Prices vary based on what you like and affordable. I have to applaud ???????? ???????? ???????? this establishment. Theatmosphere, music, and the people were on point. I wish I could give them 10 stars. Read more
It was my first time and really loved their fresh seafood. Their staffs were super friendly and the seafood was SUPER fresh... literally the lobster was picked out from the fish tank. They have many variety of fresh fishes. I had lobster and giant wildshrimp with a side (eggplant salad). The lobster was oven baked stuffed with some fresh veggies. I ate every bit of it lol. Withthe price and quality of seafood it was totally WORTH it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for seafood lovers! Read more
We?ve tried a few made to order seafood spots in Astoria this Spring. Abuqir, Astoria Seafood, and now Hamido. In our opinion,... Hamido is probably the most pleasant experience out of the 3. The food is well seasoned. The service is definitely the best ofthe 3, and the sides are just as good as the fish. The restaurant itself is clean, well run, and fully staffed. It may be alittle more expensive than the other 2, but I think it?s probably worth the benefits I mentioned for a lot of people. That said,all 3 are excellent options depending on the day. Read more
Wow we were totally blown away by this place! First time trying Egyptian food, and the seafood was exceptional, super fresh and... flavorful. We asked for recommendations from the nice man at the fish counter. He suggested the bass baked Egyptian style, andthe red snapper baked with olive oil and lemon. We also got fried calamari and grilled tiger shrimp (highly recommend this) Forthe sides, we got the babaganoush, garlic eggplant, and Hamido salad (cucumber, tomato, and onion). Each dish was honestlyexcellent. Everyone who worked there was so welcoming and friendly. Thank you to the man who helped us with recommendations forbeing so patient with all our questions! To top it off, prices are a steal considering the quality and was a very affordabledinner for 3 of us. I will definitely come out of my way to come back and will bring more friends next time :) Read more
Great restaurant with traditional seafood dishes of Egypt. Decor is awesome, feels like you?re in Alexandria. You pick the fresh... seafood and the way they prepare it. Well seasoned. Good service. Reasonably priced side dishes. Herring salad was amazing.Lunch special is available ending at 4pm. Read more
what an amazing meal with fresh shrimp, fish and delicious Greek veggie. Apparently it?s not super busy around 11am on a Sunday... which is surprising. A true seafood lover would be so happy to come here. First you pick your seafood and the good chef willmake it the way you want it with couple selections. They will take your order for hummus and whatnot after that and seated. Iam not a fan on whole fish but they are definitely fish. Price is pretty reasonable with cooking and seasoning. I love the freshshrimp grilled and a little burned. Selection of seafood include whole fish, lobster, shrimp, octopus and salmon. It?s justexciting to see your food before it?s cook without the fish market smell. Read more
Amazing seafood and a unique experience. Go to the counter, pick your fish and seafood, tell them how you like it cooked, then... wait for a table to sit. Servers are very helpful and quick..Once seated we ordered our sides. Only a few tables so wait can getlong. Lucky we came late and didn't wait too long. the fresh seafood cooked to perfection and deliciousness beyond ???? ????????. Next time will go back for the lobster and octopus which they ran out of. PS the fish eggs, a delicacy,were to die for! Read more
If you haven't made a sound while you eat then you haven't had amazing food. Hamido has the process and the seasoning down for... the harvest of seafood one can select. This BYOB Egyptian style restaurant is serving up some of the best Scallops and Octopusthe world has ever known and true my reviews almost never net a local 5 stars. They are cooked to order as you hand select yourseafood and it's style of prep(Grill, Bake, Fry,..) the wait staff also churn out great service for side orders andnon-alcoholic beverages. You will wait about 30 mins after ordering so be patient as the food is made with labor and not magic.So bring a nice white wine and enjoy a meal made for King's and Queen's. ---- see what I did there(Queens).
