"⭐⭐⭐½ (3.5/5) As a first-time customer, I’d say my experience with The Afty Express was pretty good overall. One thing I definitely appreciated was that the food was cooked to order. When I arrived to pick it up, everything was fresh, hot, and ready to eat. I ordered the Whiting Fish Platter, and the flavor was good. The fish was seasoned ok and cooked nicely. My only real concern was the portion size. For the price, I was a little surprised to receive only two pieces of whiting. I honestly expected a bit more, especially considering the cost. The food itself was ok, but I’m on the fence about whether I’d order again because of the portion sizes compared to the prices. If the portions were a little larger, I’d have no problem ordering again. Overall, good food, friendly service, and fresh-to-order meals—just hoping for a little more bang for your buck!"
"Everything was delicious with generous portions. Salmon Rasta Pasta was perfectly done. I asked for spicy, and it had great flavor and heat. Cheesesteak Empanada was probably the best I've had."

"Despite being cold (Doordash delivery, not restaurant's fault), the bagel sandwich was so good! The bagel was pumpernickel and I can't say enough about it. I've found my new place for bagels! I would not, however, recommend the chai tea. It was so extremely sweet I couldn't drink it. Chai is not supposed to be super sweet, but even if it was this was just way too much. But, since this is a bagel place, I forgive the tea and my rating is based on the out of the world bagel and the breakfast sandwich it was used for. Just YUM!"
"The bagel sandwiches were good and so was the latte! I would have given them a 4 or 5 star but they are "very" skimpy on the meat portion size. Our sandwhiches were the egg-meat-bagel selection ordered without egg @$8 and one w/extra meat @$11. The pork roll was paper thin, not much of it, didn't receive correct order and missing items as paid for. Overly salty too! "

"Best Pizza WOW omg yes! That Margherita Pizza - Small 12'' was perfect n it's not easy to find the leg it perfect pizza, the ratio to sauce to cheese was perfect as was the red sauce not too acidic. Don't even get me started on that delicious tasting crust n it wasn't all dried out n boring like cardboard which many places do unfortunately. They offered different sizing too which is very cool of them. It was very AUTHENTIC Italian food n it's hard finding amazing Stuffed Shells - Pasta these were so fresh not frozen n then pulled out of freezer. The pasta Shells tasted so homemade al Dente n the cheese wasn't like a multi-cheese blend it was PURE RICOTTA. Loved the red sauce once again, hubby liked the food as well. Next time he'll try the ravioli Cheers "
