This place is great, unless of course you're one of the Jackson Heights gentrifiers who'd prefer a $24 plate of lamb in a sanitized and completely inauthentic environment. Kabab King is a neighborhood staple and a personal favorite. Their chai is to die for, and their food is heavenly, albeit on the greasy side. (They haven't bought into the health-food trend that's sure to kick in once the neighborhood is fully invaded by Astoria overflow. Then, I'm sure you can chomp down a tofu kabob and wash it down with a chai-tini.) Anyway, give Kabob King's lamb a shot - don't be chicken!
