Health food focused restaurant to open on Broadway

Broadway

33-04 Broadway

Oct. 3, 2016 By Hannah Wulkan

Finding a healthy and quick bite to eat in Astoria is about to become easier.

Local entrepreneur Farrukh Hafanov just signed a lease to 33-04 Broadway, and is planning on opening Nature Soul Organic Café, an organic and healthy eatery.

The café will offer a full restaurant menu, in addition to a salad bar and cold pressed juices, which will allow customers to grab a quick bite on the run or stay for a full meal.

“Astoria is full of people who are health-conscious, and I think that this will appeal to them with everything being organic and healthy,” Hafanov said

The idea for a health-oriented restaurant came out of a recent trip to the West Coast, Hafanov explained. He visited Los Angeles, and said he wanted to incorporate the healthy lifestyle he saw out west in to the existing restaurant landscape in New York.

Hafanov said that he will begin construction on the space soon, and hopes to open his doors in about four months, aiming for a mid-January or early February opening.

Op-Ed | Four years after Hurricane Ida, Queens deserves real climate resilience

Sep. 2, 2025 By Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas

Four years ago, Hurricane Ida tore through our neighborhoods of East Elmhurst, Corona and Jackson Heights, leaving behind devastation we will never forget. We lost neighbors to the floodwaters. Families saw their homes destroyed, their basements wiped out, their lives upended. Immigrant families—so many of them undocumented—were hit the hardest, often excluded from relief altogether. Ida was not just a storm; it was a wake-up call.
