Review from Beginning of 2020 Have visited Chinar on the Island restaurant multiple times for variety of occasions: from regular lunch or dinner to birthday parties to celebratory dinners. I have to say today 's visit was VERY disappointing. We came to celebrate my Grandmother 's birthday. Here is the breakdown of how the establishment works:1. Upon entering through double doors you will see the place where the hostess is supposed to be. We never saw a hostess here. Usually one of the waiters will notice someone entered and will either point to the table or just tell you to sit wherever you like. 2. Upon sitting down you usually will get your menues quick. 3. Ordering: depends on the day of...
We were invited to a banquet on August 27th to CHINAR on Staten island. We have been to this restaurant before but it never looked so neglected and dirty. First thing that caught my eyes was the front of the restaurant- very unkept andneglected...weeds were consuming the entire outdoor area.. some weeds were plucked and just thrown on the floor, cigarette budsand cigarette packs by the entrance doors. There used to be decorative ever greens in the big pots by the parking lot which dieddue to draught and not watering and now the pots were just used as a place for garbage which was very unappealing. The firstimpression was very untidy and unwelcoming. Another big area that was very disgusting...
Never again!This restaurant is known for very delicious food, and we decided to make a banquet for 25 people to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Half the guests left without eating the cake, because there were not enough clean plates to set the table for dessert timely.We feel our guests were dishonored, and we are very disappointed by extremely...
Beyond disappointed.My family has been frequenting Chinar since the original owners first had it, almost 20 years ago. The food was always delicious and many parties were hosted there. I've taken plenty of my American friends here, introducing them to delicious food. Including my husband. My husband and I have been ordering take out from Chinar for the past few years. We decided to make reservations there over a month ago to celebrate my father's birthday, which is for tomorrow. Party of 10. No one calls me to confirm the reservation. I call Chinar multiple times to confirm, no answer. We drive by and the place is bordered up! So the place suddenly shuts down, doesn't inform guests who have...
