About Us

Our Roots

In 1980, Nazim Alkan arrived in New York from Istanbul with a suitcase of family recipes and the American dream. For Nazim, it wasn’t just about starting a business—it was about creating a life rooted in opportunity, hard work, and the love of family. These values became the heart of Chicken Kebab, a humble café in Roslyn Heights where every detail, from the food to the hospitality, reflects the dream he brought to life.

A Legacy of Love

For generations, Chicken Kebab has been a place you can depend on—for fresh, consistent flavors, and the comfort of knowing every dish is made with care and love. The secret ingredient? Family. It’s not just about the food; it’s about the people behind it and the community it serves. Welcome to Chicken Kebab where every bite feels like home.
