Thank you guys for being awesome.“

“So I just had iftaar with their tikka paratha roll that I had got last Sunday evening. It just tasted so good even though I ate it cold straight from the fridge. 😊 It didn't taste as good when I had ordered it on site. Then, without me even asking for anything, they remade it and gave it to me to take it home with me even though I had told them I was full. 😊😊 The largest portions I have ever seen anywhere, good food, clean, best interior and decor, excellent service. I have yet to see a BETTER or even equally nice place in NYC. 🤍 Jo baat hay. Food makes/breaks the mood.“

“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! 😋“

“TL;DR: As a DoorDash driver, the golden rule is simple: if the smell in the front seat tempts fate for five miles, you have to go back off-duty to eat it. OMGYRO in South Orange earns a rare, uncontested 10 out of 10 Gyros thanks to razor-sharp flavors and elite hospitality from Sade and her crew.
The Dasher Perspective: Surviving the Passenger-Seat Test
Driving DoorDash across Northern New Jersey trains your palate and tests your willpower. Your vehicle becomes a mobile sensory lab, and 90% of takeout smells fine, but easily forgotten.
* The Rule of the Road: If a brown paper bag smells so ridiculously good on a drop-off run that it derails your focus, you are professionally obligated to return off the clock as a paying customer. OMGYRO failed my impulse-control test immediately.
* The Atmosphere & Crew: Stepping inside as a patron is even better than picking up at the counter. Sade and the entire staff run the front with an infectious, high-voltage positive energy that cuts through the daily grind. Sade treats every walk-in like a longtime regular, bringing effortless charm and warmth that completely resets your mood.
* The Counter Culture: The line moves with kinetic precision, but nobody is rushing you out the door. It’s clean, lively, and carries the kind of hospitality that most sit-down dining rooms fail to replicate.
The Food: Structural Integrity Meets Pure Flavor
Street food is an art of physics and flavor balance, and these wraps don't cut corners.
* Carved Meat: Spit-roasted with blistered, caramelized edges while staying tender and juicy throughout. It packs a deep, spiced punch without leaving a puddle of grease in the wrapper.
* The Pita & Fillings: The flatbread is thick, pillowy, and structurally sound enough to survive transport without splitting open. Crisp onions and cool tomatoes provide the crunch, while a bright, punchy tzatziki brings the acid needed to slice right through the savory core.
The Verdict
* Rating: 10 out of 10 Gyros
* The Takeaway: Whether you’re grabbing dinner after a long shift or ordering from your couch, OMGYRO is the real deal. Between the dialed-in spit-roasted meats and the radiant vibe Sade and her team put out daily, this spot is an essential South Orange stop.“

“Adam makes the food with love each and every single time I order from They're restaurant. There has never been a more astonishing time to be a resident of the state of new jersey. The first time I ate chicken and lamb over rice I ascended to become a greater life form and my credit score is now over 100. The falafel here is rumored to be made out of plutonium.“

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!“

“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!“

The falafel were so fresh and flavourful and are made IN HOUSE along with the hummus’ - I loved the avocado hummus, my partner loved the spicy hummus. Both delicious. Perfect fries. Can’t go wrong. Also the lovely man who served us, sorry I didn’t get your name friend - so kind and patient. Thank you“

“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 😋“

“This place is a hidden gem. We ordered the cold appetizers, chicken soup, lamb chomps, chicken adana kebab, and lemonade. Everything was super flavorful and fresh and came out quickly. The owner and staff are beyond wonderful, very welcoming, attentive, and hospitable. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for catching up with friends over a delicious meal and tea.“

“Great food!! Extremely friendly, and accommodating staff! When we come back to the area we will definitely be going back here! Highly recommend!“

“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“

“I recently visited this restaurant and wanted to share how much I enjoyed the experience. The staff was warm, attentive, and delightful.

I ordered the Jalapeno Smash burger, which was juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right — easily one of the better burgers I've had recently. I also got the chatpata wings which were crispy, fresh, and full of flavor too. I got the Masala Fries which were so crispy and tasty. All the dishes really stood out and made the visit memorable. Would definitely visit again.“

“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.“

“good food .... great price“

“​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.“

“Best food ever !!!!

We come out of state for a game in MetLife stadium last year and the food was amazing we comeback again after one year and man !! Khalid the owner is amazing ! Please with a welcome smile ! Man the door is the same quality ! Best food ever! And great home made lemonade !“

“Pidde in Lodi is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic Turkish flavors! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a fast and friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Their lahmacun and pide are truly handcrafted daily with love – you can taste the freshness in every bite. The Mozzarella Cheese Pidde is a gooey, savory delight, and if you've got a sweet tooth, the Nutella & Banana Pidde is an absolute game-changer. Don't even get me started on their Halal Pepperoni Pizza; it's a perfect blend of classic pizza with a Turkish twist. The Lahmacun is incredibly flavorful, and their Rotisserie Chicken is juicy and perfectly seasoned. It's clear why this place is family-approved – every dish is a winner. If you're in Lodi and looking for a truly delicious, authentic Turkish experience, Pidde is a must-visit!“

“We went to River Edge branch on Friday night - the music and atmosphere are great.Restaurant is beautiful. They have very good singer/DJ, people were dancing till very late. Food is good too - we ordered lamb shish kebab, fried potatoes, stuffed mushrooms, samsa, some salads - everything was delicious. Highly recommended.“

“Amazing Quesabirria (birria quesadillas). Authentic. U can tell they take the flour tortilla and dip it into the red consume before cooking and then the meat, cheese onions, cilantro and lime all combined. Unbelievably delicious!! All their food so far has tasted delicious and fresh.“

“We returned after their renovation and were delighted to find the soul of the place unchanged.
The space looks fresher and brighter, but the taste and warmth we loved are exactly the same.
Growing without losing what made you special is rare — this restaurant has managed it beautifully.“

“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!“

“Thank you for the warning before I burned my face off with the reaper chicken strip 🤓🥺 Food is tasty, staff is friendly, it’s a whole vibe..LOVE IT!! 💗💗💗💗💗“

“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“

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

“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.“

“The best samosa“

“Just had the Monday thru Friday lunch special and added feta to my salad. With a soda it was just under $20. Absolutely delicious.“

“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!“
