Middle Eastern Restaurants near Bayonne, NJ

“Absolutely Incredible Experience! “I cannot recommend Alkofeia highly enough! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality that made us feel right at home. The authentic Palestinian flavors were absolutely unforgettable — every dish was vibrant, rich, and perfectly seasoned. The fresh homemade pita, the perfectly spiced lamb ouzi, and the shawarma platter were all standout dishes. The portions were generous, the service was friendly and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere just added to the whole experience. The attention to detail, from the olive oil appetizer to the dessert, showed how much care goes into every plate. This is hands-down one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants we’ve ever visited, and we’ll be back again and again! Highly recommend to anyone who loves real, heartfelt cuisine.” ❤️“

“Great service, friendly staff AMAZING food.“

“I had a good experience at Wonder Jersey City. The food was fresh, flavorful, and there were plenty of options to choose from. Ordering was easy, and my meal was ready on time. The staff was friendly and the space was clean. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that there’s still a little room for improvement with consistency, but overall it’s a great spot when you’re looking for a convenient and tasty meal.“

“Best Egyptian food in the area!!“

“One of the best Palestinian food around 10 stars“

“My new favorite restaurant!!! The food is amazing.“

“I have visited the Allentown location several times. The food is always great, but what’s even better is the feeling of warmth the staff and owners emit. Everyone has always been so incredibly kind and attentive. Excellent food and service!“

“Don’t let the racist comments deter you from having some of the best food of your life! Will eat here every time I’m in town!“

“Great food with native Yemeni ambience and flavors.“

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The fresh orange juice was incredibly refreshing, and the kebab over rice was absolutely delicious. The place was spotless, super organized, and had a really nice vibe. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We loved the food! We loved everything, and we loved the food! We brought our mum who complains about all the food, and she loved the food - the chicken kebab with lentil puree, lamb pitza, pita, muhammara, ouzi, baklava :) We’ll be back!“

“The sharing plate with hummus, muhammara, tzatziki, and naan was a great start—creamy, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. The kofta meatballs were juicy and well-seasoned.

The chicken shawarma was tasty, but it tasted more like a chicken curry than traditional shawarma. The steak was cooked nicely and had good flavor. Overall, a satisfying meal with a nice variety of dishes!

Pistachio baklava was super delicious!! The watermelon zero cocktail was good.“

“Great, i love this place.“

“I came here after my body building show after I got a recommendation from another friend that the food was phenomenal, after I’ve tried the food, I was star struck from how delicious the food was, the chicken over rice salad and pickles with the lamb shawarma sandwich sent me to heaven and back. Thank you for your great hospitality Alaqsa“

“Really enjoyed the food at Gigi Halal Food! The falafel over rice was fresh, flavorful, and filling, and the burger was juicy and delicious. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and the service was great too. Definitely a good spot for tasty halal food. Would happily come back again!“

“Absolutely loved this place. The touching things they did for my sons birthdays was so nice. The food was amazing and they couldn't have enough of the Frena bread for everyone, they loved them with the trio dips. The best was the braised oxtail tortellini and the Nemesis dessert. But even more fabulous was lavender ice cream. Wow !! Great service and food.“

“10/10 Food and Ambience 😍“

“Very good falafel. Quite pricey. Nice and fast service.“

“Sooo delicious!!! Wonderful staff. Great owners!!“

“3 Falafel plates, 1 Spinach pie plus drinks for $50.

The food is AMAZING!!!!!!

I can't stress enough how good it is here.

If you live locally and don't come here, well I think your mad.

If you are visiting Manhattan and don't come across the water to eat here. Well I still think your mad.

This is how Falafel and Hummus is supposed to taste.“

“Delicious Authentic Middle Eastern falafel and shawarma. It's a place that focuses on just that, but does it really well. Every element of the 'sandwich' is made to perfection! The pita is fresh and warm, the shawarma is cooked perfectly on the rotisserie, and each topping is delicious- the humus, tehina, amba, onions... plus ... served with a smile! Open late too!“

“Absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait to return!“

“the appetizers were stunning, great service and great atmosphere, friendly and professional waiters“

“The beautiful, intimate atmosphere and absolutely top notch comfort food would be worth it alone - BUT the service was also awesome. After we were graciously seated without a reservation (try to book ahead because you really won't want to miss this place), the staff was so kind, friendly, and attentive. Absolutely everything we had was wonderful but the knafeh actually brought a tear to my eye. ❤️ Absolutely would recommend 5 out of 5 stars.“

“Want to make your pallet dance? Of course you do! Boutros is the place to go from their tantalizing cocktails to their original baba ghanoush and falafel you’ll be simply amazed. Old school, traditional recipes with a twist of new flare. Mikey is a wizard for creating his cocktails. I had the pleasure of trying two of them that he created after thinking about them for 12 years and I highly recommend them the Garlic Gibson and the Bitter tree, both are amazing. Allen, who is the chef and owner and named this quaint little place after his dad will delight you with his specialties my Sister and I had the mushroom hummus. The short rib wraps are beautiful salad and baba ghanoush to name a few. Hurry up, you won’t be disappointed!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’d never had falafel before trying it here, and I didn’t realize how amazing it could be until I had it at another restaurant. Ever since then, every time I come back, it never disappoints. I’d highly recommend trying it if you’re in NYC!“

“I Highly recommend Al Noor Halal Deli. I been coming here for over 10 years. You get lot of great crispy freshly cooked food. Brother at the front is a wonderful person. Chef magdi has magic in his hands.“

“My girlfriend and I stopped by Fire Kabob and WOW! This place is great! Clean dining area and SUPER friendly staff. We ordered 2 plates, chicken and Lamb and then a side of eggplant burani. The food is fresh and delicious! The rice and homemade sauces are excellent. It also came with a side of bread and salad. Can't wait to try out all their other items, we will definitely be back. I would post pics but we scarfed down every bit of it. It's a must try! Chicken and Lamb - Tender and cooked perfect. Eggplant Burani - a must try, unlike anything I have ever tried. Rice - seasoned perfect and you get a lot of it. Def try the sauces that come with it.“

“We really enjoyed our experience at Gazala's. Very reasonable prices for Manhattan. Excellent food. Very friendly and professional staff. Even the pickiest members of our party enjoyed it. I highly recommend it.“

“Delicious and friendly. Been coming here for years and bringing friends who visit from out of town.“

“Excellent food and awesome service. Great place to spend an evening outside. And the people watching...“

“I called the restaurant just to make sure if the places still open. The person answer the phone call I said was what time do you open next thing you know he hanged up on me so rude and that’s not business like with a customer that’s on the phone. I give you zero stars.. Who ever answer the phone 4/18/26 at 8:30. very rude n the phone. I'm pissed off right now..“

“Best food in the area, used to walk pass this place everyday and never entered, I never knew the food was so good, very clean ingredients generous portions and most importantly very delicious! The staff is also very nice and make
you feel welcomed“

“I had a really good experience here- service was impeccable, we got seated immediately and served immediately. The issue was we got the vip hookahs, they did not pull well and their flavor was weak. I’m an avid hookah smoker and the overall quality was bad, I would really encourage the establishment to refine the vip hookahs“

“Absolutely amazing food and magi drink is yummmmmy!“

“it’s a treat to eat at Miznon. Great food! Wonderful service and a fun atmosphere too!“

“The mussels in red sauce amazing 😻“

“Small restaurant/menu but the food was very good, service attentive and friendly. The babaganoush and fresh pita were delicious and the grilled murguez sausage/chicken/vegetable platter was exceptional.“

“So amazing so delicious so clean and nice service with respect thank u for everything“

“We only use the best ingredients. Cozy, family owned and ran.“

“One of my favorite lunch places. Fresh, healthy, and delicious.“

“Supergood“

“Food and drinks were delicious and our wait staff was friendly and attentive! Two thumbs up!“

“A very nice place to check out if you’re into mediterranean cuisine! Excellent vegetarian options and delicious food. But if you’re someone who enjoys good service like me then this is not the place. after being sat down for 15 mins the server gave the menu. After reminding 3 times, we finally got water which was bottled and we were not told about I assumed they would bring tap water and on top of that they will randomly put 15% or 18% tip irrespective of party size. Waiting for menu for 15 mins and then waiting for water not sure what kind of service one is getting and to top it off getting the drinks ordered post meal! Again if you’re a foody then this a good place to try but not for the service.“

“An awesome experience. Great food and very attentive service. Will be back ❤️“

“food was simply delicious and well served👍❤️❤️❤️ the stuff was amazingly friendly and professional❤️❤️❤️will definitely go back there❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐“

“Food is absolutely delicious! Wait staff is so friendly and knowledgeable! Love this place! Highly recommended! Will definitely come back!“

“Jazmine was great with guiding me with the menu !
And making my stay was more than I needed. Everything was offered before I even asked ! She did an excellent job at explaining the menu ! Everything I ordered was phenomenal!

I will be coming back if Jazmine is my bartender!!!!“

“This restaurant is definitely one of my favorites! Not only is the food so flavorful and delicious the staff and service is also so wonderful. And when I say the food is delicious I mean literally everything! There is not one thing I wouldn’t recommend. They never disappoint. Even the atmosphere and seating is just so beautiful. The prices are also unbelievably affordable for such good food! This is a restaurant I would recommend to anyone even if they didn’t like Mediterranean food because they have something for everyone and nothing is neglected. Such an amazing place that’s worth many visits not just one.“
