Great Diner! The food was great, I ordered the walnut banana pancake and it was delicious. The portion was big as well. Very filling. The waitress was very attentive and great. Large parking inside as it shares the outlet mall.

Amazing atmosphere. Great food with fantastic service.
Had the Chicken chupacabra, didn't realize how big it would be. Very tasty, very filling. Had the chocolate shake, didnt know if they had Banana shake (now I know they do, I'll be going back to try the Banana shake).
Surprised to see they opened back up so quickly after the AVTF fiasco 😉

Bel Aire Diner is my go-to spot, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently great, and the service is always excellent. Today I ordered the grilled chicken salad, and it was amazing! Generous portions of chicken, fresh ingredients, and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and delicious meal!

My wife and I recently checked out a classic diner that’s been around for years, and we were excited to see they’ve introduced a new Halal menu! Came all the out from Albany so we had to give it a try, and honestly we were impressed. It’s always refreshing to find spots that make an effort to be more inclusive, and this diner did a great job. The Halal options were flavorful, well-prepared, and felt like a natural addition to their already solid menu. What we really appreciated is that you’re not limited you can mix and match or even swap in Halal meat for certain dishes. For my fellow Muslims in the area, this is definitely a spot worth checking out. And if you’re going with friends or family who aren’t specifically looking for Halal, no worries they still have plenty of other options for everyone. We love seeing longtime local places evolve like this. We’ll definitely be back!
Finally made it to Bel Aire Diner and I can honestly say it lives up to the hype especially with their halal menu option. Being able to swap any protein on their regular menu for halal is a game changer, and they don’t cut corners at all. The Harissa Chicken Sandwich was a standout with its juicy chicken thigh glazed in sweet-spicy harissa honey, perfectly balanced and tucked into soft brioche with a nice crunch from the cabbage. The Halal Chicken Parm was pure comfort crispy, tender, and paired with a rich, flavorful marinara that tasted homemade, especially with pasta on the side. Beef Shawarma Fries were messy in the best way, loaded with spiced halal beef, caramelized onions, and creamy white sauce that tied everything together. Even the Eggs Benedict impressed, with perfectly poached eggs, beef sausage, and a house sauce that brought it all home. The sauces deserve their own shout out- Honey Harissa for that sweet heat, Creamy White Sauce that’s garlicky and addictive, and Gochujang Spiced Mayo bringing a bold, slightly sweet kick. Ended with Baklava that was flaky, nutty, and soaked in honey, plus drinks like Rose Lemonade and Citrus Ginger Juice that were refreshing and balanced. Overall, this spot delivers on flavor and inclusivity.
