replying to u/gianthamguy: I like how wide a net they cast with this list but I do wonder about some of the methodology. For Jackson heights, they picked birria landia (quality is suffering as it expands) and Dera (one of the most complained about of the famous restaurants here), they can’t be expected to get it all right but it makes me wonder how much of this is about reputation
“Dera may just be the worst thing on this list. Maybe it's because I've had the cuisine at its best but damn, Dera is not it.”

“Jackson Heights adds more options (Dera, Kabab King), but it's about the same as Haandi.”
