Halal Restaurants near Cedar Grove, NJ

“The Turkish food here is of high quality. We had the mixed platter of cold appetizers and the mixed meat entree. So yummy! The host and waiters were very welcoming and efficient. When they made a mistake and forgot a side we ordered, they still brought it late and did not charge us. Then they brought us tea and baklava on the house. They want you to leave happy. The sign of a well-run business. We’ll be back for sure.“

“Best gyro I’ve ever had hands down! The lentil soup is also fantastic. Highly recommended for takeout! (You can eat there but it’s small)“

“Great food, all tasted fresh and didn't disappoint..we ordered the dinner for 2 that included 4 choices of cold starters and calamari that melts in your mouth and the salad was so good and the mix kebab and koftas over rice was good too..will definitely recommend and we shall be back! 😋“

“Great customer service, food is outstanding and always fresh,mild and spicy sauces. Great prices.“

“We got food from them the other day and everyone in my family loved it. We ordered margarita pizza and my kids said it was the best they ever had. The baked manicotti was really good. The broccoli and cheese calzone was amazing, especially when dipped into the sauce. The Mac and cheese balls were delicious. The fries for me were a little too salty, but everyone else said they tasted really good. Can’t wait to be in their area again so we can order more food from them.“

“Amazing and tasty food!! Great service and great prices! High quality meats and chicken, all halal, with proper certificates!“

“I’ve ordered a few times all great experiences. Today I ordered in store at the kiosk and picked up, got home and although i got two combos (lamb k jerk chicken) upon eating the first few bites I realized both were only jerk chicken. I called however their voicemail isn’t set up. I wish someone could call me back and offer some kind of assistance/ discount 😩

UPDATE: The customer service team reached out to me immediately after my original review, apologized for the mix-up, and offered to make things right by replacing our two combo platters.

I stopped by Saturday night and showed the staff the email. They immediately knew what I was referring to, apologized again for the previous experience, and took care of my order with no hassle or confusion. My food came out quickly, the customer service was great, and the food quality was great as usual!

I really appreciate how quickly they responded to my concerns and that the same level of care carried over when I returned to the restaurant. Mistakes happen, but how a business responds matters. They addressed the issue immediately, made the resolution easy, and followed through on exactly what they promised. Definitely appreciated!“

“Delicious and healthy authentic middle eastern cuisine. Highly recommend !!!“

“Couldn't have had a better experience. The cheesesteak and the platters were amazing. My kids are picky and they all loved it. On top of that, the people there were so kind and know how to treat people. Also, the madina sauce was off the hook. We will definitely be back!“

“Really enjoyed the food at Gigi Halal Food! The falafel over rice was fresh, flavorful, and filling, and the burger was juicy and delicious.

“I’m visiting NJ (lived here for a long time) and wanted to eat some of my favorite foods. I ordered dinner from port of peri peri and it was perfectly cooked but missing my fries. I let that be known to the restaurant and received a small refund. Next night, I ordered dinner again and I received a large order of fries on the house as well as a discount card for 5% for dine in orders valid for one more week. Amazing customer service. If I were in NJ longer, I would surely order again! The food is absolutely delicious 😋“

“If you’re looking for **authentic Bangladeshi food** that’s both **delicious and affordable**, *Affan* is the place to go! Located right here in New Jersey, this restaurant delivers an experience that feels like a warm, home-cooked meal — full of rich flavors, comforting spices, and genuine hospitality. We went with our **autistic daughter**, and the experience was truly wonderful. The staff were incredibly kind, patient, and understanding, making sure she felt completely comfortable the entire time. It’s clear that *Affan* is genuinely **autism-friendly**, and we deeply appreciated how calm, welcoming, and sensory-considerate the atmosphere was. Every dish we tried was exceptional — the biryani was fragrant and perfectly spiced, the curries were flavorful without being overwhelming, and the parathas were soft and freshly made. Portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and the cleanliness of the restaurant is impressive. You can really tell that they care about both their food and their guests. Whether you’re Bangladeshi and missing home-cooked flavors or just love discovering new cuisines, *Affan* will exceed your expectations. It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines **authentic taste, affordability, cleanliness, and inclusivity** so beautifully. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back“

“Great food, love the jerk chicken option. Location/parking area was kinda weird then again I don’t usually go here. I did an online order and pick up so it was it quick, no line what so ever. Anyways will definitely get more when we’re in the mood for some halal chicken and rice.“

““I wanna move in and die here” said my happy stomach and food soul after feasting here for the first time.
Everything looks and taste AMAZING!!!
My and my husband new favorite food spot and #1 halal and falafel place

Sooo fresh and delicious. Wonderful service and so clean and comfortable.

Can’t wait to come back!!!!

They have food for a great break fast, lunch, dinner, party, dessert and even tea and honey 🍯

“​I got the sliders and tenders, and they were cooked to absolute perfection—juicy on the inside, perfectly crispy on the outside, and packed with flavor. The spice levels are incredibly accurate, and that Dave's sauce is pure gold. On top of the amazing food, the service was fast and the staff was super friendly.“

“This Turkish pizza spot out did the rest of pizza places in New Jersey! I love their thin pizza and you cannnot come here without trying their buffalo chicken pizza! The concept is so luxury and the quality is super upscale this experience was a 10/10 for me and I definitely recommend to try!!!!“

“Best chicken tikka cheese roll especially on paratha in NJ. And trust me, I have tried plenty from North to South counties. Love the authenticity of Pakistan food, tastes likely home kitchen. I love the ambience of cultural connection. Highly recommend!“

“Easily my favorite place in Nutley now, I'll be back for more Turkish tea, a whole pot if can be—and to try their Kazandibi dessert. An amazing breakfast selection till noon & lunch menu after till 4PM. Looking forward to many more visits!“

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

“Humble seems to be the best word to summarize this restaurant. The men who run it seem to have a great rapport with their customers; they’ve been there for 20+ years and it shows. They were kind and accomodating. The food was plated carefully and was pretty taste. My only complaints were putting margarine on my pancakes without asking and the tiny plastic utensils, which left my hands covered in syrup. However both of those go to the restaurant being unpretentious. There’s no atmoshere to speak of but it was clean. I’d eat here again but probably wouldn’t go out of my way.“

“Great food, friendly service and comfortable ambiance. We highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Great food 🥘 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I was introduced to this place about 6 years ago and I continue to still go to this place whenever I am craving a good gyro! I have moved and still continue to only go here and buy gyros! I ate there recently with my best friend (something I never do is eat there) so when I ate there the staff was very welcoming and friendly and even asked about the service to make sure it was perfect for us! I don’t really like gyros from anywhere else there’s has a special touch! I hope everyone can experience it!“

“Bence bolgenin en iyisi, yemekler çok lezzetli, hiç bir şey baştan salma değil. Çakışanlar Cok saygılı. Amerika’da gittiğim en iyi restaurant diyebilirim ve iyi bir Türk yemeği yemek isteyenlere tavsiye ederim. Adana kebap, lahmacun ve kuş başı pidesi ni denedim ve bayildim. İnşallah diğerleri gibi bozmadan devam ederler.“

“I went to their Grand opening today!!! The food is fresh and tastes delicious!!! Can’t wait to go back, friendly owners, great location and late hours! What more can one ask for!!!!“

“Thanks a lot for everything. Great pricing and phenomenal customer service. I don't know how they have this many great products but I don't mind for me the more the better so I dont have to go to any other market but Anatolia Market“

“This place has the best shawarma in all New Jersey, the sauces are amazing, the food is incredible, the workers are the kindest people! My husbands first time eating shawarma and he loved it! He keeps asking me to go eat there all the time! You need to go early because their shawarmas flies, they sell like just baked bread!“

“I was ecstatic to hear that Brother's was finally reopen! I was devastated when he closed his previous location in Paterson. I used to frequent his restaurant at least 5 days a week. Clifton, you will quickly discover what an absolute gem you've inherited!! A great man delivering great food and great customer service. Enjoy!“

“Went to slap burger with my family, came from New York and stopped to try for the first time, hammad was more than amazing and so was the food. He even gave some extra food to go. Now that’s what I call top tier service, if he’s not a manager they need to seriously consider making him one. 🫶🏾“

“I walked in. I noticed clean warm cozy environment. The chicken was more tender than anything I’ve ever had before. The owners were really really nice people and the The food and service was a 10 out of 10 for me personally I love the crowds that were coming in and out of this place. It tells that the community is a really nice community. I’m gonna eat here every single night when I’m hungry because that chicken was amazing. It was so soft. The rice was great and they have corn and they put almost like a cheesy type of milk on it, which was something that was impeccable.“
