Hamza & Madina Halal Food — Restaurant in Town of Smithtown

We eat here a lot because we work late... always the same two older guys cooking never had an issue. Tonight there was a very young man (boy) cooking and all three of us got food poisoning or salmonella poisoning of some kind. Violent vomiting and extreme stomach cramps. 100% sure it was from cross contaminated salad. The one person in our group who didn’t get the salad was spared the wrath. Just means the kid prepped raw chicken or meat on the same surface as the salad and didn’t properly sanitize or clean between. Thank god we were busy at work and we’re all unable clean our plates or I would most likely be writing this review from the EMERGENCY ROOM. I only had 6 bites (two of salad) and it all came back up in record time. All of us who had the salad became ill. I can’t imagine how severe it would have been if we had eaten more. Needless to say all the leftovers have been trashed. I hope the owners read this and NEVER EVER LET A CHILD COOK IN THEIR ESTABLISHMENT WITHOUT A SUFFOLK CLUNTY FOOD MANAGERS COURSE CERTIFICATE ever again (required to cook and prepare food in Suffolk county). I don’t think this kid was even old enough to legally take the test. He was working and cooking with zero supervision. It shows. ALL BE WARNED!! Do NOT eat here if the kid is cooking unless you wish to spend the rest of your night making sweet love to the porcelain throne. I will not be eating here for quite some time after my harrowing ordeal.... might consider it down the road as long as the adult male or the older gentleman is behind the counter... but then again...

Hamza Madina Halal Food is an absolute gem when it comes to delicious halal food. But let me tell you, there's one person who takes the flavors to an entirely new level and he’s back – Bilan the culinary genius behind the grill. I've been a loyal customer of this place for years, and I can confidently say that when he is in charge, the food takes on a whole new level of deliciousness. Every time I visit, I make sure to keep an eye out for Bilan because his expertise truly shines through in every platter he serves. The aroma wafting from the grill is enough to make your mouth water. From perfectly seasoned kebabs to juicy burgers and lamb gyros , Bilan knows how to bring out the best in every piece of meat. The flavors are simply exquisite, leaving you craving for more with each bite.

What sets Hamza Madina Halal Food apart, besides the amazing food, is the excellent service provided by the friendly staff. They always go above and beyond. If you're a fan of halal food and want to experience a burst of flavors like never before, don't miss out on visiting Hamza Madina Halal Food. And make sure to look out for Bilan the man with magical grill skills. Trust me, once you taste his creations, you'll never...

How the mighty have fallen. I remember going here when there were very few halal spots around. There was this one guy that always made high quality food (yes I'm aware the rice and chicken are precooked). Haven't been here for a while so I decided to check it out again since every other nearby place that's not fast food is closed. Called in the order but when I got there, they started preparing it. The worst part is the price. Can't believe I got charged $14.50 for a mixed over rice! No soda, no combo, just the mxd over rice. I know inflation exists, but this is just absurd! Not sure if they're charging that price due to being one of the few halal spots to open years ago (they were getting a lot of customers), but I don't see myself coming here after tonight. I mainly go to this one place that sells halal food for a much more reasonable price. The food is fresh made and their mixed over rice costs $10.99. After tonight I'm just glad there are more halal spots to check out around Brentwood...
