Middle Eastern Restaurants near Bloomfield, NJ

“quick n easy def a place worth trying“

“Zaffron Bloom is an absolute GEM in Hasbrouck Heights. The family owned restaurant offers authentic Persian cuisine cooked fresh to order. The owners are extremely kind and will always do their best to make sure the food is good and you enjoy yourself. I’ve been looking for some authentic persian food for a while and this is easily my top choice in NJ. Seriously if you are ever in the area and are considering going here it is well worth it.
The food is cooked fresh when you order so take some time to enjoy the atmosphere and menu. They have everything from homemade cultural teas to fantastic kebabs and desserts. Not to mention their food is Halal for anyone curious. Like I said before if you want to enjoy some genuine Persian food there is no where else to look!“

“I ate good. They park at a nice spot for walking traffic. Looks like good people and rating reflects their quality. Salchipapas went so flipping hard.Hello again, I tried the chicken parm wrap and the chicken+marinara melted in my mouth. The chicken was delicious and hot. Gonna try and eat everything there over time (except spicy food )Also the snicker bar was 25 cents cheaper than the lame rutger vending machines, but 25 cents more pricier than njit vending machine ?. It was $2.“

“I’ve been going to Ibby’s since they first opened. If you want good food, this is the place to go. Their falafels are like no other!! They have the best falafels in N.J. Hands down!“

“This platters spot offers fresh and tasty food. I tried the mixed platter, and while the lamb was just decent (it tasted like it might be from a box), the chicken was wonderfully juicy and moist. Don't miss the crispy wings, especially with the delicious mango habanero sauce! Their menu has plenty of other options. It's a small place, so it's probably best for takeout.

plenty of parking“

“Bismillah. Assalamualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

My mother and I drove here from an hour away for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, and Alhamdulillah, we enjoyed our time immensely.

We found street parking easily right outside, the ambience and atmosphere is lovely,, the people were kind and took care of us with a smile (they treated everyone that walked in like family!), and the food delicious from soups to meals. The pita was soft and delicious, perfectly made and enjoyed immensely by us Pakistanis who live on roti! The salad had the best spicy kick and the shrimp meal we ordered was absolutely wonderful - coming from someone who married someone that grew up at the shore and just as picky about seafood now, this cast iron dish was cooked to perfection. I wanted to bring it home for my beach boy to try but it never made it home (Astaghfirullah 😅). But it's okay cuz we're coming back to get some more,
إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰه
InshaAllah and also try all the things!!!

Highly recommend these guys for the food, the people and the atmosphere. Allahumma Barik, Yemen Land 🤲🏽“

“Quality of food is outstanding & FRESH ! The price is just right! Love this place!!!!“

“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! He gets plenty of love and all is deserved! Thank you Shlomo and Gyro Grill for not only delicious food but for your continued acts of love in the Wayne community!“

“1st time Me and hubby went there. The place is very clean and the guy is so humble. We ordered Lamb Shawarma and Beef Steak ......take out and had to wait few minutes, Ummm Taste is so yammiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, Also bough Baklava. Surely we will visit again, Thank you.“

“Thank you Nouri Cafe for your always great tasteful Middle Eastern food and your kind working staff. God bless you all 🥰🙏“

“AMAZING FOOD!!! Makes the BEST schnitzel ever!!“

“Westside Shawarma is back with a vengeance. Never have I seen so much demand for a small food spot. Literal posts on the internet asking about this place. I was excited to see the G.O.A.T return, and more so with a proper shop. I got so excited, I ordered two chicken platters and only managed to finish one. Warmed it up two days later and it tasted just as good as when I got it. Great to have you guys back!“

“Great sweets and very friendly knowledgeable staff answering all our questions. Highly recommend and I will return.“

“Best restaurant in Bergen county and Passaic 👌“

“The best fresh food truck in jersey city. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Goes this place doesn't have a higher rating on Google is beyond me. The falefal is a 5 o ut of 5 The rice is the best I've ever had. It's both soft and creamy almost! I'm having the lamb shish kaboblan special. It is juicy and not chewy. Nothing is ever over salted here or overcooked the many times that I've been here. I even drive here for lunch 20 minutes away, even though there's Middle Eastern places a few minutes away from my job. The beef liver is great. Here the baba ganoush and hummus are tasty. Not oily. Very good lentil soup. It really tastes homemade!“

“The shawarma is really great. They work in a very good way“

“Great food , great prices. Friendly welcoming staff. the classic shawarma sandwich and falafel sandwich are delicious. do yourself a favor and get the mint lemonade, you'll be hooked :)“

“I've been coming here for years!!! The most authentic Greek food I've had here in the states. Everything on the menu is a hit. The food takes about 10 minutes if you order in-person. Everything is fresh, tasty, and quality. There is limited seating indoors but plenty of additional seating outside to immerse yourself in the Montclair streetscape. The owner, Efi, is extremely accommodating and professional. She cares deeply about the quality of food and service. I can't recommend this place enough. Fair warning though: you will crave Efi's Gyro after trying it!“

“Wonderful atmosphere, welcoming staff, INCREDIBLE food. Please come expierence this place!“

“I came across Karen bakery randomly while looking for bakeries in the JC area. The store is unassuming and the smell of fresh baked bread hits you as you enter. It was amazing to see the carts full of freshly baked carbs. There were no menus so, it was a little confusing trying to figure out what to get. Ended up getting a bag of buttermilk bread and a box of basbousa (sweet semolina cake). The buttermilk bread was gigantic! Probably measured at least 12"x12". It's a flatbread with many layers, seems like it would be good to dip with soup or use as a wrap. The basbousa was satisfyingly sweet, with a gritty texture because of the semolina but would pair very well with some tea for an afternoon snack. Can't wait to return to try out some other baked goods.“

“Fresh and delicious Thank you !💜💜💜“
