The menu at the new Lava Diner looks pretty typical — until you get to Page 7, where you'll see dishes like lamb shawarma, chicken biryani and fattoush salad.
The diner is located in New Hyde Park, just a block away from the Queens border to be exact, on a stretch of Indian restaurants, markets and sweets shops, and next door to the Hillside Islamic Center.
What may be Long Island's first halal diner, the Lava Diner has just gone into a storied building that most recently held the New Hyde Park Diner. Before that, it was the Gateway Diner, and before that, the County Line Diner, which dates back to the 1950s.
