What is Worth Choosing

For first-time visitors or loyal patrons looking for the best of the best, Grill Time Express’s expertise truly shines in its grilled meat and poultry platters, as well as its fresh Middle Eastern salads.

A truly worthwhile choice is any of their Platters, which serve as the cornerstone of their menu. The Baby Chicken Kabob Platter or the Shawarma (Baby Chicken) Platter are highly popular, delivering perfectly seasoned, tender meat served with a choice of two sides (like Yellow Rice or Grilled Potatoes). The Mixed Grill 3 Skewers Platter is a fantastic choice for those who want to sample a variety of their grilled masterpieces.

Furthermore, no meal is complete without indulging in their appetizers and homemade dips. Customers rave about the creamy, rich hummus—specifically the varieties topped with Shawarma or Mushrooms. For a lighter, yet flavorful option, the Grill Time Salad, a large mix of fresh vegetables topped with sautéed ingredients and grilled chicken breast, is a healthy and satisfying meal in itself.

Finally, for a quick and authentic bite, you can’t go wrong with their Shawarma Sandwich, which includes hummus, tehina, Israeli salad, and French fries packed inside a warm, fresh laffa or pita—the ultimate Mediterranean street food experience right here in Great Neck.
