Street To Table Opens Huntington Station Restaurant: 'A Dream To Do Something Different'

HUNTINGTON STATION, NY — Street to Table recently opened in Huntington Station, marking the second location for husband and wife Tejan and Jas Arora.

The two founded their first Street to Table in Merrick in 2019 before deciding to expand to Huntington Station. The new restaurant is at 350 Walt Whitman Rd #26.

"Huntington Station is going through a major transformation right now," Tejan Arora told Patch. "With all the new construction, new businesses opening up, and the revitalization of the area, we saw an opportunity to be part of something exciting. It’s also centrally located, close to so many great towns, and it allows us to reach people who’ve always wanted to try Street to Table but found Merrick a bit too far. It felt like the right place at the right time."

The Aroras have always shared a "deep passion" for exploring bold, diverse flavors from street food and diners to roadside dives and hidden local gems around the world, Tejan explained. When Tejan was attending law school, the pair lived in Brooklyn, and on weekends, they would explore every food festival, night market and street fair they could find around the city.

"Those experiences opened our eyes to the incredible creativity, culture, and comfort that street food brings to the table," Tejan said. "That’s where the idea for Street to Table started."

The couple took the energy, hustle, global flavors and excitement of discovering new cuisine and melded it into a "fresh, elevated dining experience."

The menu is a "creative fusion of authentic street food traditions and modern culinary craftsmanship, using high-quality, seasonal ingredients prepared with care and a bit of playfulness," Tejan said.

Each dish is meant to capture the essence of the vendors, food trucks and market stalls the Aroras fell in love with.

The result? The Street to Table menu features starters like fried mozzarella triangles crusted with Doritos or Flamin' Hot Cheetos; and Mexican street corn. Entrees like the restaurant's award winning pulled pork mac and cheese; and a tostada burrito bowl. Sandwiches like Flamin' Hot Cheetos fried chicken; a macaroni and cheese-topped burger; a fried chicken and waffle sandwich; various tacos; and more.

Tejan shared some of the most popular dishes served at Street to Table: The ramen stir fry "channels the bustle and energy of Asian street markets."

The tandoori wings capture the essence of North Indian street food, where tandoori-style dishes have been served from roadside dhabas and open-air grills for generations, Tejan explained. The wings are marinated in a handcrafted blend of yogurt and fragrant spices, roasted, then finished with red onions and fresh cilantro.

"The result is smoky, spicy, and vibrant, each bite delivers a hit of flavor that reflects the rich culinary traditions of India with a street food soul," Tejan said.

The Narragansett beer-battered fried chicken is one of the restaurant's most-sold items.

"It brings together satisfying flavors inspired by classic American roadside diners, but with our signature touch," Tejan said. "We start with a tender chicken thigh, beer battered using Narragansett beer (lager), which adds a subtle malt sweetness and an airy crispness that pairs beautifully with our custom spice blend. It’s topped with smoky chipotle aioli and house made pickles, all tucked into a pillowy brioche bun. The result is nostalgic yet elevated, a sandwich that’s comforting, cravable, and full of character."

The dessert menu features fried Oreos, a fudge brownie sundae; and s'mores churros.

A key part of the expansion has been Dan Rubino, Street to Table’s general manager, who now oversees both locations.

"Dan has been an integral part of the team, helping build the foundation for growth while maintaining the high standards and unique culture that define the brand," Tejan said. "Dan’s leadership and passion for hospitality have been crucial to making this next chapter possible."

The space is designed to capture the "raw, urban energy" of New York City, blending grungy, industrial elements with graffiti, pop culture, and eclectic props, Tejan said.

"It’s our subtle tribute to NYC’s iconic streets and the electric spirit that lives in them," he said. "At the end of the day, we believe great food is meant to be shared in a lively, welcoming space. That’s what Street to Table is all about: bold flavors, good vibes, and creating a place where people can gather, eat well, and enjoy the ride. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite, a casual night out, or a memorable meal, we’re here to bring the world’s streets to your table."

Street to Table is "all about flavor, hospitality, and giving people a place they genuinely enjoy coming back to," Tejan said.

"Every dish is crafted with intention and we’re proud to be a place where quality and comfort go hand in hand."

The Aroras are excited to be part of Huntington Station's growth and to welcome new guests into Street to Table, Tejan said.

"This journey started with a love for food and a dream to do something different," he said. "We’re here to serve good food, create good vibes, and build something lasting."
