Indonesian Food Bazaar at Masjid Al-Hikmah

The borough of Queens, home to speakers of nearly 150 different languages, is the most diverse county in the United States. This heterogeneity makes Queens a great place to eat, especially if you find a spot where locals dish up food for other locals, like the bazaar in the parking lot behind the Masjid Al-Hikmah mosque in Astoria. Once a month, members dust off their favorite recipes and turn the small lot into a mini-Jakarta, serving satays, noodles, and numerous variants of the culinary sub-genre of tasty pockets with surprises inside.
