Middle Eastern Restaurants near Closter, NJ

“So good and fresh, very tasty, clean place The rice is buenisimo“

“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!??“

“This food is so flavorful! I love to have something different to eat and not just the tired options of Pizza or Chinese? You can get comfort food or healthier dishes and all will be delicious. The prices offer excellent value.

Vegetarian options: Their pumpkin and eggplant are amazing! Haven’t tried falafel.

Dietary restrictions: Yummy vegan options

Kid-friendliness: Easy place to eat with children“

“A True Paradise!

I'm thrilled to return to 2 Paradise Restaurant after a year, and I must say, they've taken their excellence to the next level! My previous experiences were already top-notch, but the improvements they've made are truly impressive.

I ordered two chicken wraps, and the flavors were absolutely delightful. The quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation shone through in every bite.
I highly recommend 2 Paradise Restaurant to anyone seeking exceptional taste and value. The team's dedication to continuous improvement is genuinely admirable.“

“The food is delicious! Stopped by the grill house and had delicious chicken shawarma and tabouleh salad. The baba ganoush was excellent with the most amazing falafel I’ve ever had ever! It was moist and so full of flavor! The bronzino was cooked to perfection! The knafeh is ok. This place gets super busy but so worth the time to get the food as it’s made fresh to order.“

“I stumbled upon this place today and am so happy I did! I had the falafel sandwich and it was delicious. The falafels were warm and moist and the pita was so fresh. Plus the place is cute and prices are very reasonable. I will be going back!!“

“I had the Kabseh Chicken, which is chicken & rice in lightly spicy, but suprisingly savory tomato paste. It's served w/ salad, an herbaceous & lemony chicken broth soup, & a green tomato & cilantro sauce that I liken to Yemeni chimichurri! I feel a bit wasteful not taking home the leftovers of the generous serving, but the remainder was mostly just rice & lettuce anyway. I also liked the honey flavored malt beverage.“

“Awesome, awesome, awesome place! The wraps are amazing. If you don't also try the dips/spreads sampler you are seriously missing out.The owners are also very nice, kind people.This is my go-to place for work birthday parties as well, everyone loves it!“

“We have used Sababa several times to cater shul events for 200+ people. We keep coming back for more bc the response is consistently so positive - people always ask, “where is this delicious food from??!!” Danny is great to work with and the food is homey, tasty, and plentiful. We will definitely be back again and again!!“

“Nice and clean place!! I loved the pizza and the cheese cake!!!!!!!!!!“

“This restaurant has been a cherished part of my life since my elementary school days. The garlic sauce is amazing, and their grilled chicken with the red sauce is pure magic. The boss's warm hospitality makes you feel at home, and their Basbousa dessert is a must buy after dinner/lunch. I can't rate it anything less than 5/5 - I'll be a lifelong customer!“

“In a diverse city like New York, there are flavors from many countries. This is a Yemeni restaurant. Although the store is not big, it attracts many diners, perhaps just to taste different flavors. It may not pay much attention to hygiene, but the chef makes every dish with care, and I think their grilled fish rice is very delicious. Maybe it’s because I love fish….“

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

“Great food and service ….“

“This place is beyond delicious. Better than 53rd, better than any halal restaurants in the area. This is the only shawarma I’ve tried in NY that tastes just like my homelands. The flavors are on point!! The meat and ingredients are very high quality. It’s a blessing to have a healthy take out spot that’s open late. I highly recommend the lamb shawarma combo and lamb over rice!! They are very generous with their portions.
- More of a take out/catering spot
- Service is very kind but can be slow. It is worth the 30-40 minutes wait!!!“

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

“We ordered the beef shawarma, chicken shawarma, and sambousek. Everything tasted so fresh and VERY delicious! It was such a pleasant experience. Ordering and delivery were pretty quick also! I would absolutely recommend! Thank you, Al Basha!“

“Perfect as always. Shout out to Caesar who is attentive, friendly and a class act guy. The food was stupendous. The meat platter for 4 was delectable. And all the starters are great. We love the shepherds salad with feta, the hummus and the babaganoush. The falafel too! Thank you for all the hard work.“

“First time there and won’t be the last... amazing flavor, super moist... mm mm good“

“My kids and I love this place and keep going back. The food is consistently great and the staff is always so nice, patient, accommodating and helpful.“

“Love the Calamari & the sangrias“

“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!“

“Excellent food, large portions and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend NAYA!“

“I went there for the first time today 10/29/24. I ordered the mix over rice. The process was so easy, order and pay on the virtual screen. The young men preparing the food were helpful, answering my questions. The food was delicious, a nice mix of lamb and chicken over a nicely seasoned rice and salad. Their sauces are very good also. I will definitely order from them again. The only complain is there is no dining in option but it's ok.“

“Great food, very good service with a smile 😃“

“I met a beautiful Egyptian woman who saved me on a night it was raining. Now my heart is in peace because I found food, and they said they were waiting for me, they are all so kind especially Nahed , I’m grateful for this experience, and the food was delicious, will be coming back again !“

“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 recently visited Tasty Choice Restaurant and had an absolutely delightful experience, thanks to Sharma and the incredible service. From the moment we walked in, Sharma made us feel welcome with a warm smile and attentive care.

What stood out the most was the personalized touch Sharma added to our visit. The girl in the cashier checked on us regularly, ensured our orders were perfect, and made us feel like valued guests. The entire staff was friendly, but Sharma’s exceptional service made this visit unforgettable.

I highly recommend Tasty Choice Restaurant for anyone looking for amazing food and top-notch service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I got the mezzo trio with hummus, spicy feta and pink queen and all were phenomenal. The pink queen was my favorite. Also got a Greek salad and grilled Mediterranean chicken which were also delicious. It was so much food too!! Will definitely be ordering here again and highly highly recommend!!!“
