“ Long trip to VA about an hour each way, then appointments. My wife and I were planning to stop for late lunch. Looking for new places and this caught our eye with nice reviews. We were welcomed right away and seated by the Owner/Manager/Cook/Server/Cashier/Dishwasher. This is a dedicated man! Good thing for GPS or we might have missed it, tucked away in a small strip of stores. Only 8 parking places but we were able to get onto the grass beside the convenience store next door. We both chose the Lamb Rice Bowls, hers with Chicken and Lamb, mine with Lamb. These came with a side salad. We grabbed a couple of waters from the Self-Serve cabinets by entrance. We waited just a bit for our food, and it came out piping hot and smelled wonderful. It also came with Homemade White Sauce for salads and we requested his Homemade Extra Hot Sauce. Both were great! I also spotted a (Jamaican?) Meat Pie. It was good but Rice bowls were top. The Lamb was tender and favorable, almost melted in my mouth. My wife's Chicken and Lamb was delicious (yes I had a bite). The Rice was full flavored wonderfully and the salad was fresh and crisp. YUM! It was a hefty serving so we had plenty of rice and meat to bring home. My guess he is used to people carrying leftovers home - our meals came in a carry out aluminum bowl, so we just combined and put the cover on! My wife just had to try the Tres Leche Cake, so we got a slice. She split it and said we could share. Nah. I'll just try a bite. Big mistake. She didn't get the half dish back! It was heavenly! Now, this place isn't fancy and it's not very big, but the Hero is the FOOD! It is almost like dining with a friend, very casual and relaxed. We were there at a late lunch, so only one other couple were there. Ajie came and sat with us and chatted awhile. Now the time he got a review, he was packed and worn out. If he is pretty busy and tired, he may decide to leave early or take a day off. He deserves it! So maybe call before you come. ”
“ HOLY SMOKES!!! Everyone we have a serious Best of the bay contender here. Food was incredibly delicious I’m sorry I don’t have a picture of the beef patty because once it hit my mouth I about lost it. Talk about as good you can get highest quality you can taste this took me back when I lived in Brooklyn as a kid going to school and would get one at my local Bodega and it about blew my mind I couldn’t stop eating it it was well seasoned just right with a nice punch! Talked with the owner before they closed mind you they’re open till 2am on the weekends which is huge for this area most things are closed by 10pm and your SOL after that stuck with the usual suspects but this place has it right even down to their freaking sauces which EVERYTHING IS MADE IN HOUSE. Dude I don’t know a time where I had mozzarella sticks and hated the sauce with it but theirs is obviously made in house and it’s an original recipe! And it was so damn good. I had asked the owner about what a “white sauce was?” And to my amazement he’s pulls one out and says, “well you tell me it’s a tasty mixture of things” and DUDE my mouth was losing it! It’s like a mixture of a Tzatziki/Garlic Ranch sauce on steroids! It was so original and unquestionably unique and I loved it!!!!! I gave him so many props I told him this must be his signature sauce! And to my surprise... The Chef asked me if I liked spicy food and of course my jolly fat ass loves it! He has me try two more new unique sauces that again I can only contain my excitement for these as well!!! A green cilantro/lime ancho pepper mayo sauce that’s better than anything I’ve ever tried and could drink it if I could & Thai chili Roasted Red pepper pesto sauce that has such a tasty Mediterranean style to it that literally blew my tastebuds mind. know this man has a degree in flavor So for my meal I had this absolutely freaking amazing Butter Chicken and Yellow rice and pita bread to dip it in that amazing sauce. It was breathtaking I couldn’t stop eating it till I about popped the portions are absolutely perfect and loaded just like in the city and the food is to truly experience. I will be be back to try everything on their menu but this place is truly a special spectacular spot in the Bay Area! You must give this place a try I repeat you MUST give this place a try! And come back and come back again because you WONT be disappointed by the full hidden treasure hole in the wall experience you’ve been looking for!! A Thank you Big Apple and your dedicated owner and team my wife and I will be back! ”
“ Good food, cozi environment, fun and polite staff. Definitely wish I had found this place sooner. Had Tandoori Chicken Sandwich while there. Very good. Nice amount of spice. Update: Had to try the lamb gyro once home. Holy crap this is good! Best gyro I have found. ”
“ Don’t let the exterior fool you! I could eat here every single day. Been craving some good halal for so long and the chicken/lamb over rice did not disappoint. I’ve had this place on my saved list on google and it’s definitely the best I’ve had in the Tampa Bay Area. I got an extra order for lunch and it still smacks the next day. So much flavor and the white sauce isn’t too heavy and thick like some places. The red sauce is extremely flavorful and not overpowering. ”
“ YES! You should order probably anything, from Big Apple's Fried & Fresh! Based on my first impression, I'm sure everything is delicious. We got the Lamb & Rice bowl and the Shrimp & Rice bowl. The spiced fusion flavor on the lamb and rice was perfect for me. The homemade sauces can add some cool or heat. I'm going to need a bottle of the white sauce! The chef/owner and staff were very welcoming and ready to answer questions. The small dining area is cozy and clean. Thanks for making us a fantastic dinner! ”
“ Amazing food. When my partner and I walked in the door, our mouths watered because we could instantly smell the flavor! This place does not disappoint! Great prices for the food you get and this has got to be the best butter chicken I have ever had! If you’re even contemplating going here, don’t think twice! You won’t be disappointed! Also it is very clean inside and the customer service is top notch! What are u waiting for? Go check them out! ”
“ Definitely-Definitely go to this place! They cook when you order so it is fresh and hot. Food was delicious. The guys were all nice and even asked how everything was. You can tell he takes pride and joy to serve his food. Support small businesses! ”
“ Absolutely delish! We were visiting from NY and gave this cute place a shot and so glad we did! I ordered the butter chicken, hands down amazing! Seasoned perfectly and rice and pita was on point! 10 outta 10 definitely recommend ”
