Rice

A traditional Egyptian gold rice, delicately cooked with caramelized onions for a fragrant, savory finish. Available in small, medium, and large.

The rice is made in-house from family recipes, the Egyptian-Mediterranean way — not bought in or portioned from a tub. It travels well, which is why so many customers add it alongside a grilled fish or a shrimp combo to round the plate into a proper dinner.

On its own it's a light, honest plate; as part of a mezza-style spread with baba ghanoush, tahini, gold rice and a fresh salad, it's the kind of table we grew up around in Alexandria. It's also an easy way to keep a vegetarian at the table happy without a second thought.

Everything at Hamido Seafood is cooked when you place the order at our family kitchen on Ditmars Boulevard in Astoria, Queens, then packed hot for pickup. Order the rice online and it's ready when you walk in — straight from the people cooking it, no third-party app in the middle, no surcharge.
