This review is for the new Indian place bar opened up. There was an old place before that wasn't good . I love Indian food and have been to many places in nyc. On Long Island , Hicksville is the place to go if you want to get some good Indian food, so this was a pleasant surprise. I rider the usual. Cicken Tilka Masala. Veggie rice. And some peas. With a bottle of water it came out to $15. Which is not unreasonable. For 9.95 you get the meal with white rice and no water. And the meals come with a huge Nan. Overall I was very satisfied and happy since we visit the mall often.

I haven't been to the Roosevelt field mall in a long time, and was used to the old, crummy food court food of my high school years. The food from Taste of India, the new Indian place that opened in the Dining District, blew me away. The chicken tikka was tender and packed with flavor. The basmati rice was perfectly cooked and not at all mushy. The palak paneer was stewed perfectly and was full of paneer. The free naan was huge! When I'm back at the mall, this will be my go-to. I can't believe how good it is.

Pota-topia is an amazing new potato concept that takes a chop't chipotle approach on potatoes. You can pick the style of potato (French fries, mash potatoes or red potatoes) you can add on vegetables meat and bacon of course.... great place to try and will definitely need more in the tristate area!

Considering what the food court looked like and offered in the past, this place did a complete 180. First and foremost, the space is huge and very accommodating space/seat-wise. Good-bye cramped seating in the rotund food court and hello spacious tables/chairs, high tables... you get the deal. The new Dining District (which I think is a fun, inviting name) is bright, cheery and offers PLENTY more options than was used to be. I haven't had the time to try ALL the vendors, but from the few I've visited... all good experiences. The Little Beet, Melt Shop, Tres Carnes and MOAZ are highly recommended. Skip, the Wendy's people. Expand your horizons! Lots of trendy eats, popular chains and even some healthy options! When I'm shopping in RF mall, I can look forward to a decent meal now. Lovin' the Dining District.

Before discussing food, the appearance of Roosevelt Field's food court is an outstanding upgrade. It's much more spacious, clean, and doesn't have the fried smelly of the archaic food court. There is also an outdoor seating area with plentiful space. The area is no longer a congested hub of shoppers trying to cut through the center of the meal along with hungry patrons scouting out seating. In regards to food, we tried Potopia and Maoz Vegeterian. Both were a refreshing and slightly more healthy imprecations of fast food. At the former, we tried a spicy shrimp potato bowl. It was a dish I'd never expect to find at the old food court. At the latter, we tried a falafel bowl with other beans, herbs, and vegetables. All in all, the new dining district provides an all-around better experience for eating at Roosevelt field.

this could also be called a mall food court but lets not... love the name and it has its own dedicated entrance so you do not have to walk through the mall to get there plus you will see some lovely outside eating to enjoy the seating choices are plentiful including round tables I kid you not its been written that round tables make for a more harmonious and happy dining experience in your home(yes I do indeed have a round table in my home) ...so glad the choice is here too booths and yes even a few couches the ceiling is super high the whole space feels so open and bright even at night big bright signs easy to read menus each restaurant / food place has its own feel I would go here just to eat so far my favorite is Melt Shop with the many choices it will keep everyone happy dine on what you like while dining together I am not writing reviews for the restaurants ...just the atmosphere and I like it

Everyone kept telling me to go to Roosevelt Field simply for the new dining district. I do my best to stay away from this mall since it's so large and crowded but I did need to check out a few stores so while I was there, I decided to try out the new food options. The food court used to be in the center of the second floor, now it's still on the second floor but pushed off to the side. There are a ton of new options to choose from. Food ranging from mac and cheese to Japanese to brick oven pizza to vegetarian to baked potatoes to Thai and then back to the typical food court favorites such as Wendy's. The signage doesn't help much with how to find it but CS was nice enough to show me where to go and also gave me a few coupons to use. I ended up going with Maoz Vegetarian because I wanted a falafel. The food here is delicious and fresh, definitely a step up from the former food court. It's also brightly-lit with a big outdoor seating area. The outdoor spot has heating lamps for cool days and shade for warmer ones. RF (the Simon Group, really) did a great job with this overhaul!
