“If you're looking for the best Koobideh kebab in New Jersey and New York, Zaffron Bloom is the place to go. Every time I visit, I'm amazed by the deliciousness of the food, especially their Tahdig. The Olivieh salad and Spanish yogurt are also quite tasty. Since it's a family-run business, the owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. I love this place and highly recommend their kebabs!??“

“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.“

“Delicious, quick, and such nice staff! I love the veggies and the pickles along with the wonderfully herbaceous hot sauce!“

“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.“

“let me tell you all something people of Teaneck. you need to come to sababa grill!!!!. the food is fresh, yummy and delicious. everything you get will blow your minds and pallet.

Lentil soup to die for, the chicken cooked to perfection, just honestly a really great find !! I’ll be a regular ! Thank you!!“

“I live across the street and this is my daily deli and grocery store. The five star is based on the following facts:1. It has a wide variety of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including sandwiches, omelette, salad and etc. The price is very reasonable.2. Very convenient for daily grocery, including fresh veg and coffee.3. Always friendly. For a couple of times when I was at work, I have package requiring signature. I ask little market to receive it for me. They gladly did it free of charge.“

The fries are crispy ?

This place has really set the bench mark for a business model around these parts. Great job.
*pictured is the “wanted burger”. This is now my number one burger over Steve’s.“

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

“Great food and service ….“

“I love their Chicken Pita wrap and wings.Make sure to ask for “double fried” which makes it extra crispy like the Korean Fried Chicken. My favorite sauce of choice always would be honey bbq. The Gyro platter is my second favorite but I will always go for the Chicken Pita wrap because the meat and sauce consistency is excellent.They also have a banana pudding that you cannot forget to buy as a side. I normally hate chunky bananas in my banana pudding but theirs is absolutely my favorite. (No chunky banana’s)The service is okay (that’s where I give it 4.5) there is one guy there that never smiles or laughs I’m not sure what his issue is but every time I went there in the lunch time he never seemed to be welcoming but I never let that affect me. I just come the hours he’s not there. But either way the other employees and owner are fantastic don’t let one mood ruin your whole day.The food is great. Overall I would pick this place when I need my gyro fix in the Wayne area.“

“Very nice and clean place to eat from and respectful service“

“I don't eat out often but when I do lezzet is my husband and I go to spot for some delicious turkish food. Its very clean, affordable and every one is very friendly plus they teach me turkish while im there. I very much recommend you go try the best well done food in paterson.“

“It’s amazing they have delicious dishes , clean space and nice stuff . My son love their kofta???“

“The kunafe is so good with the ice cream on top of the kunafe you should try it especially with Zubeyir 5 star service“

“Great service I recently went because a friend recommended and was not disappointed I ordered the beef gyro sandwich very good would recommend.“

“Really good food and service. Falafel and garlic is sauce is out of this world.“

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

“I came here with a party of five and we all enjoyed the food. Complimentary tea was very good. Everything was flavorful and fresh especially the lentil soup and meat. The staff were so sweet and gave items on the house for us to try. Definitely coming back again!“

“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 🥰🙏“

“We have been getting take-out from Falafel Hut for many many years. It’s a great option for a reasonably priced meal. We have had a variety of items from the menu and have been happy with them. We have also ordered for parties / group gathering and everyone was happy with the meal.

Kid-friendliness: If your kid wants chicken fingers and fries, their’s are good.“

“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!“

“Excellent shrimp. The fish special today was very flavorful. And the grilled vegetables: delicious and nutritious!“

“Purely giving it 5/5 stars for their matcha. Only place in Hoboken that whisks their matcha fresh per drink which contributes to the flavor profile of the matcha. This is REAL matcha. Other cafes use powder matcha mixed with sugar, premade/big batchs (more oxidized and sediment build up) etc. Also their flavored matchas are made really well, can make various sweetener/dairy customizations to matcha as well.“

“My mom and I tried the pita bread with lamb kofta, and white sauce. It was so nice, and tender. The service was quick and friendly, and the overall experience was great. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a satisfying and tasty meal.“

“Consistently quality, with outstanding flavor. Honest, authentic dishes, and delicious desserts. BYOB.“

“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!“

“muy buen vizcocho me gusto mucho“
