This place probably served some of the best seafood I've ever had. Everything and I mean everything was delicious. The servers pretty attentive but when it got crowded we did have to catch their eye for attention. The place is clean and well kept and has an ocean theme. I'm definitely making it back to queens to try some new things. The shrimp, scallops, and mint lemonade were amazing!
fresh seafood is hard to find and we found it. the staff was solid ambiance is a market with built-in seating. staff working hard and producing smiles from customers and amazing dishes
Wow one of the few places that's actually worth the wait. We probably waited in line to order for about 20 min and then waited to get seated for another 20 min and the food finally came out 20 min later. We probably didn't eat until 9pm if not later. We were all quite hungry but we were patiently waiting and all agreed it was well worth the wait. We got the 1) 2 dozen baked garlic lemon olive oil clams : good 2) 3 calamari : amazing 3) seafood pasta x 1 to go : didn't try yet 4) baked garlic lemon olive oil scallops so good! 5) grilled red snapper: seems good 6) baked something branzino : too many bones 7) moussaka : best tasting eggplant ever 8) hamido salad : refreshing salad 9) tajin soup; everyone's favorite dish 10) 3x mint lemonades: friends said it was good for you Everything from #7 onwards needs to be ordered when we are seated. It's a bit intimidating and confusing but the staff are all very nice and helpful. Ask for their recommendations and how something should be made and also listen to the staff.
I have always thought Hamido Seafood to be good. Recently I went there with some folks for lunch and the lunch special is amazing. It is monday through friday from 12-4. I got the fish and chips. Others got the Bronzini. That came with two sides. With three of us, we all ended up sharing four sides and some fries between us. Babaganoush was great as was the Lemon Potato. Rice was ok. We sat on the street and the servers made sure we had water on a hot day. Overall, lunch was wonderful.
The best seafood in all of the land and I'll stand on that! Mind you, this place always has a line out the door regardless of the time of day, so I like to go right when they open and enjoy their affordable lunch special. Today I ordered the grilled salmon, which came with 2 sides and turned out to be $20 (truly a steal)! My friend really enjoyed their shrimp too, I will definitely be a regular. So fresh, so good!
PS Lunch special is $18.49 & it's a delicious deal. You get seafood & two sides. I ordered salmon & mousaka & grilled eggplant as I live eggplant. Can't be beat!
The most satisfying part of Hamido is the fact you feel like you're on vacation away from NYC. You'll feel like a tourist transported to Egypt, eating fresh seafood that's seasoned to perfection, surrounded by culture and local music. Everything was amazing from scallops, branzino, clams to the giant shrimp. Hamido is worth the wait and the dining experience is more vibrant than any fancy restaurant can provide.
Hamido Seafood Restaurant is in Astoria, Queens. We visited there after attending the YEE @ Earth & Me. This was my first time at Hamido. Although this establishment is popular and gets crowded quickly, I can say that it was a good dining experience. Once we arrived at Hamido, our name was added to the table list. Once you get inside Hamido, you wait on line to place your seafood order. Fresh seafood is displayed. Patrons can select the exact piece of seafood requested (ex. salmon, shrimp, lobster, etc.) and choose how they want to have it cooked. We ordered Red Snapper, Branzino & each had half a pound of Scallops. They food is then sent to be seasoned / prepared and then sent to your table. Side dish orders are placed w/ the server at your dining table. All I can say is Wow!!!!. The complimentary bread was so good. We had Red Snapper & Branzino, both cooked Sengari Style (butterflied baked & topped w/ tomato, bell peppers, onions & carrots), broiled well-seasoned scallops, along w/ a side of rice & their seasoned french fries. It all tasted amazingly delicious! Hamido's Signature Mint Lemonade is something that has to be ordered - so refreshing! Others at our table had shrimp & Hamido's Shrimp & Linguine dish - everybody enjoyed their food.
