Middle Eastern Restaurants near Montclair, NJ

“Le Souk felt like I was enjoying a meal in someone's home in Syria. Soft, Middle Eastern guitar melodies played in the background as I enjoyed my food. The restaurant was decorated with a myriad of artistic knickknacks. My server was polite, and they came to check in throughout my time there.I took advantage of the 4 appetizers for $30 deal as I was not super hungry. I ordered their beet salad, falafel waffle, stuffed grape leaves, and stuffed kebeh. I intended on ordering the dandelion greens, but they were not available, which was disappointing. The food I did receive, though, was a nice window into their menu.The stuffed kebeh was my favorite, a nice crispy shell with a nutty flavor, juicy ground beef inside, with just a little pomegranate syrup to add a bit of tangy sweetness.I'd love to come back and try some of their sandwiches or an entree in the future. Thanks for the food!“

“Really good!I had the chicken shawarma platter and the chicken was perfectly flavored but it was a bit overcooked and dry. It was right before closing so I won't hold it against them. The rice was really flavorful and fluffy. The salad was fresh delicious.I would return again!“

“I tried EFI’s today from just passing by without looking at any reviews/ knowledge about the place i was PLEASANTLY surprised on the food! I got 2 lamb gyros and spanakopita to go. The lamb meat was GOOD but I got some nasty hard pieces. But, after getting rid of the pieces the gyros were great STUFFED with fries and I Loved it! I would 100% go back but i would personally try the chicken instead. The spanakopita was great and enough to share between two!“

“We had the grilled chicken sandwich and the vegetarian platter.The grilled chicken sandwich was so delicious, loads of fresh mozzarella on top of a nice and soft marinated chicken breast piece. They can customize the sauce if you want. I chose their green sauce instead of the honey mustard or mayo.Galilea is their main vegetarian platter that contains hummus, tabouleh, grape leaves and falafel. They also have a separate vegetarian menu.Quaint little family owned restaurant with wonderful people!Vegetarian options: Galilea is their main vegetarian platter that contains hummus, tabouleh, grape leaves and falafel. They also have a separate vegetarian menu.“

Zaffron Bloom is a family-owned business, and the staff were friendly and kind; they even brought us a complimentary Shirazi salad and appetizer.I look forward to going there again to try more of their delicious food, as they have many options on their menu.“

It was absolutely AMAZING and phenomenal, service is amazing , and the ambiance is amazing as well! I highly recommend this place for everyone to come by and try it! I will definitely be coming here allot more.“

“Alright! Where do i begin?! There were 4 people behind the counter and when i walked in, all four greeted me. The manager greeted at the ordering station and didnt overwhelm me to order my food as this was the first time being there. He asked me if id like any suggestions and we landed on the chicken platter with spicy chickpeas rice and cole slaw. Everything about this bowl was immaculate. The chicken was well seasoned and spiced, the chick peas were tender and savory, and the rice was such a great compliment to the protein. I also ordered their fries because why not!The portion size was generous but not overbearing. They had the mexican coke glass bottles which was a great choice to wash the food down with. I got the brown to top it all off and it was amazing. Chipotle, Qdoba, Halal Guys even have nothing on Juicy Platters. I definitely will be coming back with the family!“

“Shlomo's kindness and generosity is endless! Not only has he offered to participate in a PTO sponsored dine to donate today, but when our school staff ordered lunch to support, he refused payment and insisted the payment be donated to the PTO in full!

“Walking into this restaurant with the smell of incense and the employee politely greeting us. I asked him what’s recommended and he told us to order the mixed grill. Within 10 minutes, we had our food. The food was so delicious that my friend and I didn’t speak to each other the entire time we were there because it tasted so good. A large platter of food for only $15 and it was filling too. Would highly recommend coming here and getting the mixed grill!“

“FINALY after Covid we took some friends to our favored middle eastern restaurant this past Saturday . As usual we were greeted by our first names as we had not been there for three years! we had the combo maza which was great. The muhammara was just right. Our friends had the lamb shish kebab and the shawarma combo. Both plates were huge with two skewers of meet in each! According to them it was the best they ever had. For a change I had the kibbeh in a tray meal with yogurt which brought back memories of childhood when my mother made it. I can't say enough about the quality of the food. The service is the friendliest you will ever experience“

“Great, very reasonably priced middle-eastern food, generous portions, excellent service and an attractive atmosphere. Went here with my family in January, for my birthday, and we had a great time. I think most of us got kebab platters; mine were keftas that came perfectly done. We accidentally stayed past their closing time and didn't realize it until we started to leave and noticed the place had emptied out and the staff were quietly gathering in the back, because they didn't rush us out or get impatient (we wouldn't intentionally do this, but appreciated that they had let us enjoy our time together!) Very much looking forward to going back!“
