Naq's Halal Food - Gainesville

The food at this restaurant is okay, but not great. The chopped cheese dish costs $10, which is a bit overpriced for what you get. The portion size is small and unappealing. I almost felt like I was eating something questionable. We also ordered two alligator tails and some mozzarella sticks, which ended up costing $31. The service was lacking, as our server seemed more concerned about selling drinks than making sure our food was prepared correctly. I would suggest bringing back the previous chef, Blaze, as the food used to be much better when she was in charge.

I had a terrible experience at this restaurant. The food was subpar and the restaurant itself was unappealing. It was a far cry from what one would expect at a Mediterranean restaurant, lacking traditional ingredients like Mediterranean vegetables and eggplant. I made the mistake of driving 5 miles off the highway to try it out, but I will never make that mistake again. Despite its high rating of 4.5 stars, I found the food to be disappointing and overpriced. I ordered a dish with rice and a bland salad for $12, served in cheap plastic containers. It was a disgrace compared to other dining options like Waffle House.

As a native of New York (Queens, to be specific), I know that Naq's is the best place to go for authentic New York food outside of the city! I absolutely love their chopped cheese and lamb over rice. The chopped cheese tastes like it came straight from a corner deli, and the lamb over rice is a delicious and satisfying meal with tender lamb, fluffy rice, and a light salad. Since discovering this place, I have been going there every week. I am thrilled that Naq's is here, and I hope they stay forever!

Although it is unfair to judge a place on a single menu item, I feel that the impression of this place depends strongly on what they order. the gyroscope was good, nothing groundbreaking, only a solid gyroscope and exactly what they would expect if they had one before. my gf ordered an salat that she found violently underwhelming; he drank over a king-size bed of the Schnäppchen-Eisberg castle. to be fair, I would like to order an salat here to order chicken nuggets in an Italian restaurant. if they want one that has been properly executed by a fast eating place, they go next to chipotle. go to this place (and many other places) know what they are good and order accordingly: otherwise do on their own faust.* our total amount was approx. $22

I decided to try Naq’s for the first time as soon as it opened and I have been back time and time again. Great gyros and fantastic burgers. You can never go wrong with their mozzarella sticks or onion rings either. Support local business, Naq’s does not disappoint.
