1 . Of the many possible responses to a drop in blood-glucose (血糖) levels, none is quite so colorful, so of-the-moment, as being hangry. Hangry is hot. Science will tell you that there are physiological explanations for hanger — that is, the overwhelming anger one feels when deprived of food for too long. As we all know, this anger often ends in aggression directed at those who don’t deserve it, even though we could have been at dinner a half-hour ago.

Anyway, being hangry is a real thing, and so is Hangry, a new restaurant in New Hyde Park that is itself colorful and of-the-moment. The five-tables-and-take-out establishment, which opened Jan. 24 and as of this writing does not yet have its menu online, is a halal (清真的) place with something extra. That something extra? Pizza, burgers, hot dogs and more.

“It’s like a halal carnival,” said my dinner companion, referring not just to Hangry’s menu but its fun, attractive decorations. Lime green walls are brightly painted with 1950s-style comic book drawings of icons past and present: Al Pacino circa “Scarface,” DC villain Harley Quinn, the Joker, Walter White of “Breaking Bad” and more. “Hip” and “chill” and “sick” are among the terms early diners have used to describe Hangry, which is already developing a young and loyal crowd, and the food has met with similar praise.

The most popular presswich so far, it seems, is something called the Heisenburg ($8.49), a chicken panini with mozzarella cheese sticks, French fries and more. Whatever uncertainty our table might have had about the Heisenburg was quickly dispelled after a few bites. There was a juicy unusualness to it, but it worked.

Almost as tasty was the Mac Daddy burger, in which good quality beef sits on a thin spackling of mac’n cheese. Atop the beef are some strips of bacon, and atop that a layer of — why not? — barbecued potato chips. It all makes for a rather unwieldy (笨拙的) sandwich that quickly collapses after a few bites, and I can’t say I’d been hangry for such a flavor combination. Then again, none of that stopped me from eating the whole thing in a matter of minutes.

Still to try on the 100%-halal menu: a hotdog called My Little Friend ($5) dressed with peppers and crumbled Kurkure, an Indian chip that tastes like curry-flavored Cheetos; five flavors of wings; several pizzas by the slice; and Ju Wanna Play Ruff, which might be the gruffest name ever assigned to a veggie sandwich (tomato, mushrooms, pesto and mozzarella).

But our first meal was pleasant enough. Our glucose numbers having returned to baseline, we departed calm, and totally puzzled as to what we were hangry about it in the first place.

Hangry is at 725 Hillside Ave. in New Hyde Park, 516-629-7102. Opening hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week.
