Sabry's Seafood

Where To Pick Your Own Seafood In Astoria - New York - The Infatuation

"The oldest of the Egyptian spots on this list, Sabry’s is roomier than AbuQir next door, and they also make their own flatbread, which shows up hot and brown with even darker brown spots. You can go look at the fish, buried under ice, but you’ll do just fine ordering straight off the menu. The grilled snapper is perfectly flaky, covered in dill and chopped olives, the lobster is a popular choice, and we also like their tajines, including one with big lumps of scallop in a bubbling stew. Get the smoky baba ghanoush from the dips section, and let the defunct fireplace and model ships sail you into a coastal state of mind." - willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
