Our Tradition & Taste

More than just a restaurant — a culinary landmark on Staten Island.

The Al Aqsa Story

Rooted in Authentic Mediterranean Culture

Al Aqsa Restaurant Falafel House was founded with a simple mission: to bring the true, uncompromised flavors of the Middle East to New York. Situated on 1758 Hylan Blvd, we have become a gathering place for those who seek the comfort of home-cooked meals.

Our philosophy is simple. We believe that great food starts with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We strictly adhere to Halal preparation standards, ensuring that our community can dine with confidence and peace of mind.
