More big news to close out the week for us Forest Hillers:
Celebrity chef Jason Zukas, who won the Chopped competition back in 2009, has chosen Forest Hills for his next restaurant. Here is the website for his other restaurant in Queens. I'm trying to find out the exact location of Tazzina Forest Hills.
THIS IS EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you know where it will be located? When it will be open?? This might be THE best thing that I have heard yet since moving to FH over a year ago!!
ReplyDeleteSays it will be opening in December, but I haven't found out exactly where yet...Trying

TAZZINA IS THE BEST RESTAURANT EVER!!
ReplyDeleteForest Hills resident, go to glendale, check it out its AMAZING food and service.
I was so sad when he wrote on facebook that he is closing the glendale location, but this is GREAT news! I am a fohi resident woohoo!
Glendale doesn't appreciate nice things. Excellent restaurant! Can't wait. Will do much better in Forest Hills.
ReplyDeletelooks like its a little ways further than trader joes. on the other side of woodhaven
ReplyDeleteSo is this place really good? The menu on their web page looks really boring ...
ReplyDeletethey have the best food without a doubt. you will not be disappointed
Deletethe menu on the website isn't updated. Jason has specials every day which is usually what I order because its always excellent.
ReplyDeleteI hate to compare because they are both excellent, but in my opinion tazzina is better than danny brown, and cheaper...
why do we have to compare? It's great to have a diverse dining scene, no matter how good one restaurant is, you wouldn't want to eat at the same restaurant all the time.

Deletewasn't trying to compare in a bad way I was just using DB to let readers know that tazzina is THAT good. Everyone in fohi knows how good DB is.

ReplyDeleteThe glendale location was horrible. Right near the tracks with very little walking traffic. Should do well in the forest hills location though. Food is very good
ReplyDeletegreat food. the current location is up for sale. the info is on the rest FB page.
ReplyDeleteLove Tazzina!!! This is such exciting news!!
ReplyDeleteForest Hills = Foodie Hills :)
ReplyDeleteOne day...one can hope
DeleteDid not think much of Tazzina. Mediocre at best, which would fit in well with the rest of FH eateries.
ReplyDeletecompletely disagree
DeleteYeah, its an OVERPRICED JOINT with poor food. Why do these folks even bother? They think the clientel is that dumb?
ReplyDeleteSorry we are smarter than that. Bann Thai had moderate pricing for what it offered but shut down. :-( I wouldn't be surprised if this takes over the Bann Thai location unfortunately. I was hoping for something really good to replace it that had quality food AND Bann Thai like pricing.
Tazzina isn't something I would be interested in and I sure hope it doesn't move into the Bann Thai location.
Loved Bann Thai's pineapple fried rice! RIP Bann Thai
DeleteIt's a good restaurant I've been there several times and it's usually full, hard to get a table sometimes on the weekend. Glad he's coming to forest hills, the Glendale location was too small.
ReplyDeleteMost likely Metro Av.
ReplyDeleteHe is paying cheap rent in Glendale. He would be foolish to pay the exorbitant rates on Austin.
Great restaurants don't have to pay the ridiculous rents of Austin Street. They only need to be relatively close to their customer base, who will seek them out, rather than the other way around. Mediocre restaurants, on the other hand, have to be in a prime location to attract customers, usually people who want to be in the "hip" part of town and don't know good food from bad.
ReplyDeletei know this is a FH blog, but i passed this place in rego park and went in and spoke to the owner for a min, who's a real nice guy. didnt eat or have a drink b/c it was early but this looks like its a really nice place and a lot cheaper than jack and nellies or keuka kafe

Glendale does appreciate good restaurants and it was the owner who closed the restaurant because it only had 14 tables.
