Went with the family to Lava Rock kitchen tonight. The have halal Pan-Asian and Italian food. The food was amazing, the ambiance of the restaurant is very inviting and upscale. The staff and the owner are very attentive and polite. Always checking on you to make sure your ok. If your in the area or even if your not its worth a drive to this place. My family and I cant wait to go back.

I had such a great experience at Lava Rock Kitchen. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they really make you feel at home. The food was excellent, especially the lamb koftha kebab, which was absolutely amazing. It was perfectly seasoned and very flavorful. Everything else we tried tasted fresh and full of care. The space is very clean and polished, making it perfect for a dinner. I left already excited to come back. Highly recommend for anyone in the area.

I had the pleasure of dining at Lava Rock Kitchen and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! The service was absolutely exceptional, attentive, friendly, and truly top-notch. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The food was phenomenal, with every dish bursting with authentic Tuscan flavors and perfectly executed. The pasta was fresh, the sauces were rich, and the desserts were heavenly. It’s clear that a lot of care and expertise goes into every plate. The ambiance was equally impressive, warm, inviting, and beautifully designed to make you feel like you’ve been transported to Tuscany. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for both a special occasion or a casual evening out. I highly recommend Lava Rock Kitchen to anyone looking for outstanding halal Italian cuisine in NYC. A well deserved 5 stars!

Went to dinner here for my mother's birthday, and it was lovely. The ambiance is great, the restaurant is super clean, the food was delicious and prepared with care, drinks were amazing. The staff are incredible. Murshed bhai and Riyad Bhai are very attentive and kind. They make you feel like family and go above and beyond. They did a phenomenal job on making this birthday a special one for my mother. Love the location, great for Halal Bronx dining.

I was looking for a new Italian place to try in the Bronx and Google lead me to Lava Rock Kitchen. Food: The complimentary bread is so good! I had to put it across the table to stop eating it. The fried mozzarella was a twist for me and it was yummy but, I prefer a crispy breading with a cheese pull to it. The Ravioli Alfredo with chicken is amazing and packed with flavor and highly recommended! They have an item not on the menu called “Misto di Carne” it’s a sampler basically with steak, chicken, lamb chops, potatoes, and zucchini fries. The stars for me were the zucchini fries(sooo good), lamb chops, and potatoes. The steak was a lil too well done since I asked for medium well. The sauces on the plate complemented the dish very well! I also had a spicy mango mocktail that was delicious! If they had alcohol I would’ve had a few of them. LOL Service: 5 stars! Riyadh provided great service and really took care of me. As someone else mentioned they automatically charge 18% on the ticket so watch that when tipping especially since the receipt gives a suggested tip amount again. His service was worth the 18% though so I didn’t complain. I would definitely return to this restaurant again and I hope others support this local business.

Long story short: definitely go I tried this spot after hearing about it because of Savour the Bronx. The food was great, attention to detail was great and so was the service. The secret star was the garlic bread and the sauce they brought out. I could live off of that tomato sauce. ( side note: 2 days later I got pizza it was bomb!) -For the appetizer I had the meatballs with the mash potatoes. The meatballs were well seasoned and juicy. Mash potatoes aren't usually the star of the show but they were so creamy and rich I cleaned the plate. -The chicken with the lemon sauce was so good and I don't like lemon anything lol. The chicken was tender and melted in my mouth. It was simple yet refreshing and flavorful. - The cheesecake was good but what caught my attention was the crust. Usually cheesecake crust taste generic but it was fresh and it help bring the cheesecake together. Everything tastes like it was made with love.

Tonight we tried lava rock kitchen in Bronx. It was an excellent experience. Servis was outstanding. by Shanker.(I think that was his name if I did not catch it wrong.) for starter we ordered calamari and lollipop chicken. Both were five star for drinks spicy mango was the winner in main entrée. We ordered chicken Parmesan, lamb chops, lamb shank and chili chicken. I would say everything was very good, only in Parmesan the sauce was a little watery. It could be better Quantity was satisfying. Overall, it was a good experience and I recommended to try at least once to judge it yourself.

Lava Rock Kitchen is an absolute gem for anyone looking for a halal Italian dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding — the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. As a special treat, they even brought us complimentary mocktails to sample, which were delicious and refreshing. I ordered the bone-in ribeye, and it was cooked to perfection — incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The cozy atmosphere combined with the attentive service made the evening feel extra special. I can’t wait to come back and try even more from their amazing menu!

Lava Rock Kitchen has quickly become one of my favorite spots. I’ve visited three times, and each time the food has blown me away. You can tell they care about quality, every dish is rich with flavor and beautifully presented. But beyond the food, the service is what keeps me coming back. The server is incredibly kind, patient, and always goes out of their way to make the experience comfortable and enjoyable. True hospitality!

★★★★★ We had an absolutely amazing experience at Lava Rock Kitchen yesterday for Iftar with my family. From the moment we walked in until we left, everything was just perfect! The service was exceptional, the ambiance was beautifully designed, and the food—oh my goodness—the food was beyond incredible! Every single dish we ordered was cooked to perfection, and every bite was bursting with flavor. It’s rare to find a place where everything is spot on, but Lava Rock Kitchen truly delivers.

I recently visited this new restaurant in Sterling and was thoroughly impressed. The service was exceptional, with the owner going above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. It’s rare to find such attentive service in Sterling. For appetizers, we ordered calamari and wings. Both were delicious. You can never go wrong with fried calamari, and the wing sauce was amazing! The steak, which I ordered medium, was cooked to perfection and quickly became my favorite dish. I can’t wait to return and order it again. My friends tried the lamb, which they enjoyed, and the pizza was also amazing.

Alhamdulillah 100% halal very delicious. One of The best halal steak house. (Lava rock) allahu akbbar

Jafor Ahmed

was thoroughly impressed by this new halal Italian restaurant—it was absolutely fantastic! The flavors were incredible, and it’s such a unique addition to the neighborhood. While the menu offers more then just Italian food, I can see they’re aiming to offer something for everyone, especially catering to the local Bengali community. The food is slightly on the pricier side, but the quality and experience make it worth it. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. I can’t wait to come back and explore more of their dishes. This spot is a must-try, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great halal Italian cuisine!

Food was amazing came out quickly too, didn’t catch the server’s name but he was amazing and very accommodating to food allergies and such. I’d recommend coming if you want to try some authentic italian food (and it’s halal). Drinks were good too I got the peach bellini and yeah ill give this restaurant a 9/10 and id recommend giving it a try.

It was my first time at this place, and I wanted to try something different, and it was an excellent decision. It's the only elegant and sophisticated place in the neighborhood. The food was very good; our selections from the menu were pasta, pizza, and chicken wings; each dish was exquisite. The service was polite and courteous, especially from Morshed, who gave us great recommendations and explained the details of the dishes we chose. We'll be back soon…

Starting of with the waiter, extremely friendly, kind and respectful. The atmosphere is pleasant, nothing too fancy. Nice please to sit, chat and eat. Food came out fresh and hot. Pasta was good and so was the chicken. The risotto could have been better. Risotto lacked in flavor. Needed some kick to it. Overall a nice halal restaurant with kind staff and the bathroom was very clean and beautiful. No parking so need to hunt for parking.

The bread, sauce & meatball here are the best items here and the only items worth the $$ Their service is ridiculously slow. It takes hours to get your food. There is also an 18% gratuity automatically added to bills which I absolutely despise. Why would I even tip that much for over an hour of wait? The food here is already expensive. Nothing spectacular for the price. Food did come out hot, the mocktail bar was not open. For sure over hyped.
