This is actually my first time writing a food review on Google Reviews so take what you will about that. Tara Indian and Middle Eastern Fusion Cuisine was an amazing lunch spot for me and my boyfriend. We ordered one chicken platter and one hummus platter. As a native Queens resident, the price of this place might seem a little higher than the traditional halal cart experience, but I can assure you that you're getting really good food with great ingredients and flavor in comparison to those carts.The chicken platter did not feel heavy at all, and the hummus tasted fresh in comparison to the store bought ones. My boyfriend, who considers himself a chicken over rice connoisseur also really enjoyed the meal - the portion was large so we actually shared a platter which worked well for us.Tara is also really friendly and so enthusiastic, I could tell that she enjoyed what she was doing and her presence was king of infectious in the food hall. I highly recommend supporting her business, the food is good, and she was just a really awesome person.The hall itself was pretty quiet when we visited on a Friday afternoon, so if you're looking for calm I recommend stopping by then? I can imagine it gets packed during the weekends. There were also other vendors located inside, as well as two bathrooms which were kept quite clean. - Jasmine
