Halal Restaurants near Bayonne, NJ

“Great service, friendly staff AMAZING food.“

“Really good food, wish I lived closer to eat regularly. I do love my paneer 😍“

“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

“Probably one of the best, if not THE BEST, Lahori /Pakistani restaurants in the US. The street food style menu is such a unique and authentic experience.

We tried the paratha rolls which were perfectly spiced, wrapped in flaky paratha with amazing chutneys and the crispy chicken sandwiches that were huge, juicy, and packed with desi inspired flavors. The gappa chaat was a showstopper too, tangy, spicy, fresh, and beautifully presented.

The place has such a cool, authentic vibe with vibrant murals and a welcoming atmosphere. Even the washrooms were extremely nice and well kept (wish I had taken a picture to show that)

If you’re craving real Lahori street food vibes in the US, this spot is a must visit. Generous portions, fresh ingredients, friendly staff, and flavors that hit home.“

“This place is truly a hidden gem in Bensonhurst! ✨ It has that unique Central Asian warm welcoming hospitality. Big thanks to the amazing cooks and waitress for making the experience so special!

The food instantly took me back to my childhood days, especially the freshly fried Baursak - absolutely delicious and nostalgic.

Highly recommend!“

“New to town. Checking out falafel in the area. Came upon The falafel guy on my walk home from YMCA. A small mostly take out joint with Mousa, the master, running the show. Don’t expect the fastest service because everything is made to order. Falafel was top notch. While you’re waiting, don’t be surprised if Mousa offers you a small cup of the soup he’s cooking for the day. His lentil soup was spiced just right and delicious. Prices are reasonable as well!“

“Omg it's been so long i haven't been here, but their pizza is the best and the all the foods that he has it's delicious especially the salads. I will recommend anybody to come here and sit down and eat a delicious pizza🍕🤗😉☺️“

“5/5
Food, taste, prices, portions. Everything is 5+stars.
We ordered Philly cheese steak, chicken burger w/ fries and chicken & lamb on rice and it all tasted so delicious and cooked to the right temperature and so fresh.
So glad that our vacation in NJ included eating at this yummy food cart.“

“I grew up in NYC so I’m no stranger to halal carts. Since I’ve moved to JC (which I know is only across the river, but the food scene really is different), I have yet to find my go-to halal spot… until now! I paid $10 for a chicken over rice. The chicken was so juicy and they were very generous with the chicken and sauce. So delicious but also so dangerous that I’m so close by“

“The food was amazing, I ordered the falafel sandwich which was $8 and the chicken over rice which was also $8. Both were well made and the portions were generous. This is a bang for your buck considering how expensive meals are in this area. They even have a green sauce available that they make themselves.

Kazi himself despite a bit of a language barrier is an awesome person to speak to, he is generous in terms of helping his clients out both in pricing and with his sympathy. The service is awesome and overall I would recommend this halal cart/food to anyone out there!“

“The food is delicious!
I got the original chicken with rice platters and one chicken mix gyro wrap. Excellent and momma is really hard to please. We’re transplants from NYC and with NYC being at the top of the dining out / take home capital it is tough for many States and counties to compete with the flavor and cooking styles easily found in NYC just around every corner.

OMGRYRO easily hits all the marks with the exception of the Jerk Chicken. Jerk Chicken flavor profile is no bueno in my humble opinion and that is because it doesn’t come close to tasting like jerk seasoning and can’t compare to true jerk style flavor.

Everything else is we ordered and devoured tasted great, high on flavor with decent portion sizes.

Hope they put the Jerk Season flavor to the chicken NYC style.“

“whether you stop by at lunch rush or late evening, the food comes out hot, flavorful, and filling. The staff is quick and friendly, and even when the line looks long, it moves fast. Prices are very reasonable for Midtown, especially considering the portion size you won’t leave hungry.“

“Me and my family decide to have a late lunch here after seeing the advertisement and reviews on instagram. We loved the food! The atmosphere and service was amazing. Finally, we have a Mediterranean place close to home. You have to come try this place and by the way they have an outdoor in the back where you can have hookah for those who are interested.“

“My husband and I went to Forefeathers tonight for dinner, it was excellent. The chicken tenders were delicious, the pink dipping sauce was very good. The chicken sandwich that my husband had to amazing! Coleslaw was delicious, plenty of sauce and pickles. Fries were excellent….definitely will go back.“

“They have some frickin good lagman noodles! So delicious. Best laghman I've had and I'm married to a central Asian. We tried both types. Staff was nice and answered all my questions. Noodles were a perfect thickness and texture all around. Portions are big. Decor is super cute too I love the gourds!“

“Sadiya was amazing thankyou so much for the amzing service and delghtful food“

“Food is great and service is always amazing!“

“stumbled upon this food truck at 95 Wall Street, and it was such a pleasant surprise! The service was quick and super friendly, which is perfect for the busy Wall Street crowd. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot—I could tell they really care about quality. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the generous portions. The menu had a great variety, so whether you’re in the mood for something light or hearty, you’ll find it here. Definitely one of the best lunch spots in the area. I’ll be coming back often!“

“First time visiting and have to say their chicken was great.

The place itself was no frills with limited seating so good for takeaways.

We ordered ahead so service was quick and staff were friendly.

Would recommend if you're in the area!“

“I ordered takeout from Kulchay recently and had a positive experience. The woman working there was incredibly friendly and helpful while I waited. I tried their signature naanizza which is a fusion of naan and pizza. Both the chicken tikka and super supreme naanizzas were delicious. Even though I got stuck in traffic and had to reheat them at home, they still tasted great although I imagine they would be even better fresh out of the oven. I also tried the halwa naan for dessert which was decent but not something I would order again. All the food here is halal and I definitely plan to come back to try more items from their menu.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“I love this place!!!! Ever since the first time I entered this establishment I fell in love!! Their aesthetic is so comforting 🥰 Mohammed is very sweet and very attentive, he always greets me and my friends every time we come.The food is always top tier, the owner is also very welcoming. You can tell he cares about his business! 10/10! I recommend everyone here, good food & amazing people ❤️ THE HUMMUS IS DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! FRESH PITA 😛“

“I had an incredible experience at this amazing restaurant—the Yemeni chicken haneeth was tender, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. My friend ordered tuna with vegetables and it was fresh and cooked to perfection, while my other friend had the salmon steak which was rich, juicy, and beautifully presented. Service was attentive and warm, enhancing the whole dining experience.

Many thanks to the best team ever and the best restaurant ever in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
Many thanks for the welcome tea☕

“Highest quality halal food cart in the city! The owner always treats me right. The chicken over rice is amazing and the spicy/brown rice is the BEST in NYC.“

“I am glad I picked this place to have lunch with family. Best Uzbek food I tried so far. Tashkent plow tasted so good. They offer meat and pumpkin samsa. They have nice dessert options. We tried napoleon cake, Uzbek baklava, medovik came(Russian honey cake) They were delicious. Green tea is good to try. Parking is on street. Staff were great. Clean and neat restaurant.“

“Hot food platters, shawarmas and burgers, and a cafe all in one. Plenty of options in a small restaurant. The spicy jerk chicken is an excellent dish. The chicken shawarma and cheeseburger is solid as well. My friends enjoyed their coffee and iced matcha drinks. Staff here are very friendly. Food is halal“

“I usually visit Dave’s Hot Chicken at 7th Ave Brooklyn.
This time we went so late that it was just 40 minutes left in closing and they had put all the tables and chairs away (means the dine in was closed already) but the girl at the counter was so nice that she not only allowed us to take the chairs and sit but also suggested us to rate them on app to get a free drink (everyone loves free stuff..right??)
The food and atmosphere is always always so good. We love to go there at least twice a month (as far from our place). Highly recommended especially if you are looking for some good halal food.“

“Halal munchies 😍
Every bite reflects freshness, rich flavor, and authentic halal taste.

🍗 Chicken Over Rice — Easily one of the best in town! The rice is perfectly cooked, the chicken juicy and well-seasoned, and when topped with their signature white and hot sauces — it’s absolutely mouthwatering. The portion size is generous and totally worth the price.

🍔 Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich — A true favorite! The beef is tender, the melted cheese blends perfectly, and the bread is soft yet nicely toasted. It’s flavorful, filling, and incredibly satisfying.

🍟 Cheez Fries — Golden, crispy fries with melted cheese on top — simple comfort food done right.

🥗 Falafel Salad Platter — Perfect for a light and healthy meal. The falafels are crisp on the outside and soft inside, paired with fresh veggies and dressing that complements every bite.

🍰 Snickers Cheesecake — The ultimate sweet treat! Creamy, rich, and loaded with chunks of Snickers — the perfect way to end your meal.

✨ The service is fast, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the food quality is consistently excellent.

⭐ Overall Rating: 9.5/10
✅ Must-try dishes: Chicken Over Rice, Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, and Snickers Cheesecake.
✅ Perfect for: Lunch breaks, family dinners, or a quick late-night bite.“

“First time trying both the Chicken & Beef Doner Boxes.I was pleasantly surprised how GOOD everything was! The flavourful meats with fresh veggies and feta, with or without sauces, all combined with the unique bread is a great new dinning experience unlike anything else. I highly recommend giving this a try ! We will definitely be return customers ! The ladies were quite helpful and informative about the food and it's history as well as super nice !“

“Such an underrated Halal food cart right at the heart of Wall Street Financial District. Rather than going out of your way to a fancy Middle Eastern/Mediterranean restaurant, I highly recommend stopping by the Continental Express Halal Guys.

This is your no-nonsense New York staple, the Halal street food, and they do it very well here.

I got the Combination Over Rice, which consists of lamb gyros and chicken over rice and slathered with that delicious, signature white sauce plus a generous dash of spicy red sauce to boot.

So how does it taste? Like a gushing waterfall of yummy, earthy flavor and spices in every bite! It may look like a relatively small box, but it's dense in taste.

And on top of that, this is only $7.00 cash or $7.95 with card! You get so much for your money and you leave with a full, satisfied stomach.

Finally, the guys working there are warm and friendly, too.“

“I am a chicken girl and can completely without reservation recommend any and all chicken dishes and sandwiches on the menu. I have had them all over and over. Also the French fries and green salad. They are my go to usually twice a week.Believe the listed menu needs to be updated price wise but still the best deals in town. A HuGE plus you have the Richard Tucker (google him) Park right across the street for seating. Linda“

“I would like to sincerely thank you for the food services provided to us. The meals were very delicious, fresh, and greatly appreciated by all of us. Your support and kindness mean a lot, and we are truly grateful for the effort and care you put into preparing and serving the food.“

“I get this place at least once a week. The platters are such a good size and the pita that comes with it is insanely delicious and fresh with some flour on it still. It’s definitely more of a take-out vibe, but the employees are very kind even when you wait for your pickup order. Totally recommend!!! May feel pricey at first but once you see everything you get with the food then you will understand why!!!!!“

“Maged is the best! Love stopping here after getting off the train.“

“The food was really good! I tried one of the gyros and I liked that you could customize it by chosing your choice of protein. My friend had tried the shrimp quesadilla and loved it as well. The day I went they had an event so I got a henna done :)“

“It’s best to eat from kazi food it’s great taste ? and best price . And very quick quality service and very clean and reliable halal food in that side . I love ❤️ to eat again and they are very friendly and give lots of food

Vegetarian options: It’s up to everyone what they want it

Dietary restrictions: It’s depends on each person how they want it

Parking: All is great if you need take out no need much time they are very fast

Kid-friendliness: They make you feel happy because they know how to make customers feel good with to much food and one person eat very well and feel full

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it’s nice for wheelchair accessible“

“After seeing reviews on vlogs on our 1st night we decided we'd try the famous Adels Halal Cart and it didn't disappoint. I had meat combo over spicy rice and my wife had meat combo over normal rice and for $10 each you really can't go wrong. Big portions that tasted delicious. Would definitely recommend. Queue was long but goes down quick enough and the food is worth queuing for.“

“I’ve tried over a dozen Halal carts in the city, and this one has by far the best chicken over rice. Once you try it, you’ll go out of your way to come here every time you crave halal.

The chicken is juicy and always perfectly flavored and cooked. All ingredients are fresh. The sauces are great, and the red sauce is VERY spicy (love it)

The folks running it are super friendly and the cart is kept clean.

I’m legitimately concerned that once people find out about this place, there will lines around the block. It’s one viral TikTok away from becoming an overcrowded tourist spot.“

“Good People - Great Food - just Go! Food so Fresh!“

“Omer’s Mediterranean Cuisine is a great spot for lunch with friends or colleagues—perfect for good conversation over a delicious meal. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it easy to enjoy both the food and the company.

On my first visit, I tried the Spicy Lamb Adana. It was cooked perfectly—juicy, flavorful, and just the right amount of heat. You could really taste the quality of the lamb in every bite.

Definitely planning to come back to explore more of the menu. A solid choice for a satisfying Mediterranean lunch!“

“KC is the best! Wonderful experience from the moment we walked im to the moment we walked out.

Not only is the food superb (Chapli and Chips Platter), KC's service was top notch! Best in NYC 🎉

Thank you KC for making our night 💖“

“Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked — you can really tell they take pride in what they serve. Every dish is hot and beautifully presented, and the portions were generous. The staff is friendly, attentive, and made sure I have everything I needed without being overbearing. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a great spot whether you’re dining with family, friends, or on your own. Everything about this place exceeded my expectations — definitely one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend this is my go to before I head to work.“

“Hempstead location is the best halal on Long Island!“

“I always come here for chicken over rice when I’m low on cash but need a good meal. Always quick, cheap af ($7 exactly. For reference, a cart nearby sells for $12 + tax), and tastes great. The dude is always so kind and make sure the order is served how you want.“

“Good ?“

“Tried for the first time yesterday, they exceeded my expectations. My cheesesteak was so good I could have ate another. I’m definitely coming back for more. Great food, fair prices, awesome service“

“The food is always on point. Been going here for years 🙏“

“I luv it I would recommend Juicys💕💕💕“

“The Best Thai-Food anywhere...#Period“

“Had to find a new place to eat halal after a bad experience at the 2nd Ave halal guys. The food here was way better and cheaper. You can't go wrong with Farook's. Also he provides a a loyalty card that gets you a free meal after 10 purchases. If you like spicy I recommend the green sauce and red sauce.“

“Naan was lightly buttered and crispy, perfect for accompanying the flavorful curry, highly recommended“
