Kebab near Bayonne, NJ

“Listen. The food was exquisite (Pide mix). Very few employees are as professional and respectful as the 2 employees there. My wife and I had an extended conversation with the young man, Vince. I was quite delighted with our discussion. He conveyed his deep commitment, understanding, and methodical work ethic relating to food handling and safety practices.

Having a background in medical sciences, it was refreshing to see young men taking their work with passion.

Too many restaurants nowadays have this nonchalant, lackluster approach to food health and safety practices, resulting in us consumers paying the food poisoning bill with our health. This place is different, and Bayonne is all the better for it.

Thank you for your examplary service and your commitment to making fresh food every day.

I also want to thank the owner for encouraging a deep culture of safety first. In a twist of fate, the owner happens to be one of my neighbours on the same street, but I haven't gotten the chance to meet them yet.

Keep up the good work.“

“The most amazing food ever. It is best home made, top quality, and authentic Palestinian food you will ever try. It is the BEST food I have ever tried. I am not exaggerating for those reading. please do yourself a favor and come support this restaurant. everything is imported and quality ingredients. This is far from fast food!“

“These the best place in Brooklyn if you like to try real Shashlik . We recommend to many friends and everyone love it . Best shashlik !! Liver shashlik melted in mouth. !! Great service , everyone is very friendly , we very happy and will be back . Try these place !!!!!“

“All the dishes were fantastic, but my favorite was the tandoori lamb kebab, it was absolutely delicious. The exterior was perfectly crispy, yet the meat remained tender and juicy. If you love lamb, you definitely need to try it. I ate an entire pound on my own. The guyru laghman was also great, with rich and flavorful seasoning. While the other dishes might not have been as remarkable, they were still well above average. The only thing that didn’t suit my taste was their dessert. The dessert was overly sweet, almost excessively so, though that might be their signature style. As for the service, it seems like only their daughter speaks English, but her voice is quite soft, and it feels like she’s contributing to the family business out of obligation. However, this doesn’t affect anything, I’d still go back again.“

“The best chicken and rice in NYC! Forget everything else this if your looking for some delicious food, great service this is the place to be. The naans are cooked fresh to order by a Naan specialist who is a master at the craft and all the food is made with such passion it truly shows. I would highly recommend this spot. Go now before they get too popular!!“

“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“

“GERMAN DONER KEBAB - AN ENLIGHTENMENT If you're from Berlin, it feels like there's a kebab store on every other corner. So I can recognize and judge a kebab when I see it. Even just leaving Berlin and Brandenburg, the kebab experience changes within Germany. The further you get away from Berlin, the worse the kebabs get. Some time ago in New York, I discovered one or two places trying to make a kebab. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find a proper kebab in New York, despite the name kebab. What was being sold was called a kebab, but had very little to do with a kebab and tasted even less like a kebab. All the more enlightenment then... the recommendation of a friend living in Brooklyn. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. And then the first kebab there since 2018 here in New York. I can't even describe how happy I was. It looked like a kebab, it tasted like a kebab and came pretty close to a kebab from Berlin. Really well made. Incl. tax 12.51 dollars is a bit steep, but still good value for New York. The portion was good and filling. Everything is really fresh and well seasoned. The bread was just as it should be, thin and crispy. This was pretty much the best kebab I've had in a very, very long time (with the exception of one visit to Berlin). I will definitely go back there again. GERMAN DONER KEBAB - EINE ERLEUCHTUNG Wenn man aus Berlin kommt, hat man gefühlt an jeder zweiten Ecke einen Dönerladen. Ich kann also einen Döner erkennen und beurteilen, wenn ich ihn sehe. Allein schon Berlin und Brandenburg verlassend wird das mit dem Döner innerhalb von Deutschland anders. Je weiter man sich von Berlin entfernt, desto schlechter werden die Döner. In New York entdeckte ich schon vor einiger Zeit den einen oder anderen Anbieter mit dem Versuch, einen Döner zu machen. Bisher konnte ich leider in New York trotz Bezeichnung Döner keinen ordentlichen Döner entdecken. Das was da verkauft wurde, heißt zwar Döner, hatte mit Döner aber recht wenig zu tun und schmeckte noch viel weniger nach einem Döner. Um so mehr dann die Erleuchtung... die Empfehlung eines Freundes in Brooklyn lebend. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. Und dort dann der erste Döner seit 2018 hier in New York. Ich kann gar nicht beschreiben, wie sehr ich mich gefreut hatte. Es sah aus wie ein Döner, es schmeckte wie ein Döner und kam schon recht nah an einen Döner aus Berlin heran. Richtig gut gemacht. Incl. Tax 12,51 Dollar ist zwar sportlich, aber für New York wiederum preiswert. Die Portion ordentlich und sättigend. Wirklich alles frisch und gut gewürzt. Das Brot genau so wie es sein muss, dünn und knusprig. Also das war seit sehr sehr langer Zeit so ziemlich der beste Döner (mit Ausnahme einem Besuch in Berlin), den ich seit langer Zeit gegessen habe. Dahin kehre ich auf alle Fälle wieder zurück. -------------------------------------------------“

“Butter chicken, goat doori kebab is to die for. Roomali Roti - just had it after ages. No doubt NYC has an Indian restaurant which can compete with the likes of Dum Pukht in India.“

“Me & my friend gonna try Turkish food but our money was tight & most of the restaurants here in the island is kinda expensive! So she mentioned this place saying the food is delicious & the price is much more affordable.

Customer service was excellent. I tried beef burger with fries & strawberry banana smoothie. Yummy ! My friend had the same meal & she loved it too. Definitely will be back .

Thank you for your kindness & feeding us yummy food .“

“You won't find better Uzbek cuisine in Brooklyn. in 2023 the owners and chef changed here ?‍?. Krutob, shish kebab, mastova, shurpo, lagman, pilaf - I personally tried all this here and ordered it to my home.Go try it, you won’t regret it)“

“Food is great and service is always amazing!“

“We drove out of town for this restaurant and it was well worth it. The mint lemonade drink has the perfect balance of sweet and sour and the food was delicious. The food is especially perfect for larger crowds that want to share food. The staff are very friendly and fast in getting your order and bringing out the food to you. I also really admired the beautiful decor inside. If we lived closer we definitely would come to this restaurant all the time but since it is a very long drive we still plan on coming at least once a month.“

“Good ?“

“I’ve been on the lookout for a great Döner shop ever since I returned from Germany years ago, and this place truly hit the mark. The service was excellent, the food was incredibly flavorful, and the prices were very reasonable. We each ordered the House Made Döner with chicken and all the toppings, and it was absolutely delicious! The quality and authenticity brought back fond memories of Germany. I would gladly return and recommend it to anyone seeking a genuine Döner experience.“

“FIRST OF ALL this came highly recommended by a friend of mine and now I highly recommend it.
The Tamarind Margarita is remarkable and as a Private Chef , I mean that! The tikka masala with Lamb met me with satisfaction I have not experienced before BECAUSE every piece of lamb was tender and cooked with care not to mention THAT SAUCE!!!!! hits different and worth swallowing. The basmati rice not a favorite of mine because too “Shelly” BUT THIS BASMATI surprised me with Ever so moist plump grains worth eating. Try the fried momos - just lovely!
Last but not least, the rasmalai is the creamiest river of Indian ambrosia from the deities I swear!
I left out 1 star because of the scan method which is a bother to me but that’s just me. Other than that fly trough the holland tunnel as soon as you can to EMPYREAN INDIAN KITCHEN- is a must!
Thank you RANA for your gracious hosting

“We broke fast here & when I say everything thing was top tier from the food to the service and when we received the bill we were so surprised because it was so inexpensive for such amazing food & service! We definitely will be back to support and will spread the word.“

“When it comes to plant-based dining, finding a truly memorable meal can be like searching for a rare gem. But let me tell you, Kotti Berliner Doner Kebab has managed to deliver an experience that I won’t soon forget.

Let’s start with the vegan wrap—though, to be honest, it felt more like a perfectly constructed sandwich. This birthday gift from a thoughtful friend had me stepping out of my usual no-tofu zone. And wow, what an exception it turned out to be. The tofu wasn’t just there for the ride; it was marinated to perfection, blending seamlessly with the veggie mix.

Now, let’s talk bread. A crisp sesame riddled exterior gave way to a soft, pillowy bite, striking that elusive balance between texture and flavor. Each topping brought its A-game, adding layers of crunch, tang, and brightness that danced in harmony with every bite.

And then there was the special vegan sauce—the kind of condiment that elevates a meal from good to unforgettable. It was creamy, tangy, and herbaceous, tying everything together like a symphony of flavor.

The experience was made even better by the cook. Their patience, friendliness, and genuine care shone through in every element of the meal. It wasn’t just food; it was a crafted experience that left me eager to return.

Kotti Berliner Doner Kebab isn’t just serving vegan food—they’re setting the standard for how satisfying, flavorful, and downright exciting plant-based dining can be. If you’re even remotely curious about vegan fare, or just crave a culinary adventure, this is the place to go. Trust me, one bite and you’ll be planning your next visit.

“I recently dined at this restaurant, and I have to say, it exceeded all my expectations! The shashlik is simply the best – perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, with a mouth-watering smoky flavor. The salads are fresh and full of vibrant ingredients, and the soups are warm and comforting, truly homemade quality. Don't miss the samosas either – crispy on the outside and packed with delicious fillings. Beyond the food, the ambiance is wonderful, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!“

“I always order the chicken shawarma platter. It is served with my preferred choice of rice, pita bread, salad and their specialized sauce. The food is delicious, savory and a great dinner meal option. The portioning of the food is generous and healthy. I love eating at the Kebab House!“

“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 !“

“Delicious food!! Also, they mailed me my license that I had no idea where I’d lost. You guys ROCK!!! Thank you!“

“The food was very good. I ordered the Maklouba. The chicken was seasoned very well and the rice was very flavorful. My only gripe is that it took over 45 min to receive my food and when I did receive it it was the wrong dish. If not for that I would rate it 5 stars. Definitely a great spot for a hangout with friends or a date night.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely more of an adult vibe but I'm sure kids would be fine there

Wheelchair accessibility: It seems that there is a ramp to get in but it might be a little steep“

“Been back here 3x in 2 weeks. As a restaurant owner myself, i can say this food is fresh and consistent. Get a mixed grill to share, it’ll have every kind of meat on there and you’ll be able to see which your favorites are. I will be back probably once a week!“

“Love this place tasty food“

“I absolutely love the food. Had a mixed lamb/chicken Shawarma & would come back again 🙌🏼 Ten thumbs up!!“

“The Tandoori Chicken came out on a sizzling platter with lots of onions and peppers and was excellent, and a good portion besides. The other dishes and the hot nan were also excellent, as well as the friendly service. Great Indian food without leaving Brooklyn! Don't forget to BYO beer and wine from the store a block away.“

“Great place with the best roasted chicken or grilled salmon, made to order. You pick out your choice of already cleaned & seasoned giant sized Salmon steaks & they cook it on the flame grill, fresh & delicious. The sides are tasty too, rice pilaf & black eyed peas & garden salad. The best Mediterranean cooked dishes around!!“

“I was very pleased with my experience at Ariana Kebab. I actually walked past this spot and decided to give it a try. The owner was incredibly nice and welcoming and the food was nothing short of awesome! I had the beef kofta kebab entree. Portion size is good, although maybe a little pricey at $22 for lunch. Regardless of that cost, I will absolutely make a trip back and refer it to friends. Apparently they’ve been here for 37 years!!!“
