I went to Abuqir on a Friday evening with a couple of friends. The place itself is quite small and very casual. We were seated immediately and then picked our seafood shortly after. The food was delicious and reasonable priced for seafood, although I wouldn’t suggest getting the octopus if you want to spend a more reasonable amount, as a singular piece cost $30. The scallops (grilled) and calamari (fried) were delicious, as were the sides (house salad with tons of fresh dill, babaghanoush and pita). I would come here again with a fellow seafood loving friend to try some of their fish. Parking: Crowded area and very difficult to find parking - it took us about 15-20 minutes and we parked a 10 min walk away. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Baba Ganoush, Grilled Scallop, Homemade Salad, Calamari Parking space: Difficult to find parking Parking options: Paid street parking

Amazing little middle eastern seafood place. Food is amazing but owner has a weird demeanor. The place is too dirty and small which is idiotic. Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1

What a fun experience and the food was fabulous! I ordered the baba ghanoush, which came with the best pita I’ve ever had. I didn’t see any menus, so you should ask the staff to guide you for a selection or read reviews before you go! I luckily had seen the tagine recommended, so I got the tagine with calamari and shrimp. Definitely a portion for two or more! I went as a solo diner and it was much too filling for just me. I would definitely recommend this as a place to go with a group, so you can order a few different things to share. The tagine came bubbling in a clay pot, and was very intensely flavored! Weirdly, I almost liked the vegetables more than the seafood! The shrimp seemed a little over cooked, but I think that’s the nature of this dish with shrimp. I would love to try again with a fish that could handle more intense heat. The tagine came with this wonderful onion rice that was a great pair. The meal came out to about $60 (with bottled water), which again would be a better situation for two! Next time, I’d love to try a whole fish and the fried calamari! Highly recommend making the trip to Astoria—it was walkable from the N and then walkable to the Museum of the Moving Image. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
