Middle Eastern Restaurants near Collingswood, NJ

“Delicious freshly made food. Kay was so helpful explaining dishes to us. Good presentation and wonderful service. Will definitely be back. We ordered the vegetarian platter, mixed kabobs, chicken schwarma and shrimp kabobs; pistachio baklava for dessert was so good!“

“Short Rib - Take out, grill yourself. Super easy and delicious.“

“We went on a Tuesday afternoon. I found a ♿️ spot close. The staff/owner are very helpful with menu and their service is gracious. We had appetizers then the platter for 2 that fed the 3 of use easily! ALL delish! Brought home deserts that were as enjoyable as our meal. From what I read on website the menu is slightly americanized. To my family it was perfect.“

“Likely the best meal I’ve ever eaten“

“very tasty shawarma I like it ❤️“

“Excellent food and friendly and attentive service. Plates that can be shared and something for everyone“

“Probably some of the best service I've received at a restaurant! The owner checked in a few times and showed us his joint business of a hookah lounge upstairs. We also learned about Ramiz's history and how it's a chain. This location is the first one established in the US. We received complimentary mix appetizer plate of dips and tea! Karişik Soğuk Meze / Mix Appetizer Plate- Hummus, baba ghanoush, labneh, and spicy vegetable dip THE SPICY VEGETABLE DIP IS INCREDIBLE! MUST TRY! Turkish meatballs - insanely moist and delicious! Would highly recommend! Chicken Adana wrap - could have used more meat in it and the fries were lacking salt but that's easily fixable! Sütlaç -the oven baked pudding was good The table cloth on the tables kept moving which was a bit frustrating, not sure what other restaurants do to hold it down. Menu has so many options, something for everyone. Bringing your family or a big friend group is a good idea!“

“Highly recommended for good eats!“

“Very tasty food and very personable owner. You need to try the falafel and also the Fava beans. I would go back again in a heartbeat.“

“Food: 5 out of 5 Menu: 3.5 out of 5 Service: 4.5 out of 5 Ambiance: 5 out of 5 Value for money: 3 out of 5 The hummus is pretty addictive and can be ordered with interesting toppings such as minced beef or mushrooms. This hummus will make its place in my personal top 5 list and pairs really well with the soft, fluffy pitas. The lunch menu is pretty tiny, so you don't have too many options besides the hummus - just a chicken schnitzel platter or a vegetarian equivalent with eggplant. The place does get full, so a reservation is highly recommended for any meal. Service was warm and attentive and I enjoyed my meal with friends. There isn't much to dislike about this place besides the limited menu and the steep pricing. Even in an era where inflation is a known problem, Dizengoff surprised me with a bill of $30 for a bowl of hummus with mushrooms, 2 pita breads, and a small-ish glass of frozen hibiscus lemonade.“

“The Shawarma, Teboula, Hummus and Lamb Chops are not to be missed! Just the right blend of spices. Yum! Charming, family friendly, and welcoming atmosphere! We'll be dining here again and again!“

“I have only great things to say about this place. We were greeted with such warmth and kindness, it was a great start to our meal. We had a reservation for 7 and were seated right away. The servers were very attentive, polite, and professional. The food was phenomenal, I cannot believe how bold and flavorful their hummus, Labne, and baba ganoush was! Others at the table had the chicken shawarma wraps and couldnt stop raving about them. I had a lamb shawarma entree which was fantastic. We will definitely come here again and recommend anyone else visiting the city to eat here and experience their wonderful food. This place was a BYOB too which was a silver lining.“

“Best lamb haneeth you'll get in the city, hands down. In fact I'm willing to say they have the best lamb dish in Philly, period. Other meat items on the menu, particularly the kabobs and lamb chops, can unfortunately be dry. Opt for the stewy items to be safe. The restaurant is a bit understaffed and not that impressive on the inside, but the lamb haneeth is truly worth it. I get it regularly and it never disappoints.“

“My husband and I went today for lunch!! It was very good. The hummus was amazing. I had the chicken shawarma sandwich and it was very fulfilling. The dessert was great too! I will be back“

“Interesting menu. The food is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend if you’re in Philadelphia. The Turkish dumplings are AMAZING !“

“If I ever am dying, their Chicken over rice would be the last thing I would eat. I’ve got no words to express how godly their food is.We were visiting Philly and a we were told to go here for lunch. We really did not wait for long (~15mins) considering that we went super early, at around 12pm. I’m not even joking when I say this but my friend opened the food box while I was driving, and it was so appetizing that I literally parked the car next second and had the food. Holy moly, the food was amazing!!!The rice was fluffy and quite flavorful. The chicken was soft and juicy (although I wish it were a little spicy). And the white sauce was a cherry in the top, just making things better. The red sauce added a hint of spiciness making the flavor complete.In addition to their chicken over rice, I’ve also had their chicken gyro and it was (not surprisingly) quite delicious. Perfect combination of meat, greens, and the sauce.And the best part? These two costs just $13!!!! I live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and I wish this guy moves there. I would have this everyday!!“

“Everything was perfect from beginning to end, from the reserved table, the service, the food. Because we were a party of 2 and ordered many courses , the server staggered our food so we could enjoy every morsel We started with soup. I had the lentil my husband had Moroccan Bean. Both were so wonderful we we started sharing. I was looking forward to the taramasalata all day. When it came to the table along with warmed pita bread it did not disappoint. On to the falafel: which were some of the best we ever sampled. Not finished yet, next we had lamb kafta. Which were succulent and prepared to perfection. Our final course was the superb moussaka. The eggplant melted in our mouth with each bite and the ground beef and béchamel enhanced the flavor to a higher level Our only disappoint was we didn't have room left for dessert. There is always next time! Another wonderful dining experience at Norma’s!“

“I would give this place an infinite amount of stars if it were possible. When me and my friends lived around here, we loved hitting this Halal cart up on Friday nights. We even made the occasional pilgrimage there once we lived in separate places around Philly.Majit (and later Salman) always whipped up the freshest food, had a smile on their face, and were glad to talk with us. Salt of the earth.If you like Halal you owe it to yourself to get in front of the Fishtown Planet Fitness and order a lamb/falafel combo platter with your sauces of choice.“

“very tasty shawarma I like it ❤️“

“Being Armenian my expectations were high. Apricot Stone far exceeded what I was expecting. Service (Ani) was excellent and all of the help was very friendly. I highly recommend it.“

“The halal gyro express cart at the corner of 13th and chestnut is by far the best halal food I’ve ever had. The chicken and rice is out of this world and the white sauce is the best I’ve ever had. Keep up the good work!!!“

“Went there during a convention 15 minutes before closing needing something gluten-free and vegetarian for my wife. They quickly helped me find everything on the menu she could eat, happily made it and she said it was the best falafel wrap she had. Will definitely be visiting them again when I am in the area“

“I can’t say enough about how great this food was! Had it last night for dinner and just finished my left overs today. Everything was so fresh and full of flavor. We will most definitely be ordering again!“

“The halal gyro express cart at the corner of 13th and chestnut is by far the best halal food I’ve ever had. The chicken and rice is out of this world and the white sauce is the best I’ve ever had. Keep up the good work!!!“

“I had the schwarma pita!! It was amazing! The staff were so friendly and even gave me a free sample of koshari. The best tasting take out food I have had in a long time! Unfortunately it is the Luke Oil gas station but don’t let that stop you!!“

“Super delicious cheesesteaks and sandwiches. Everything on the menu is Halal. They are closed during Friday prayer, which makes me respect them even more!!!I have ordered delivery several times and each time food is packed perfectly, and I honestly re use the bag they deliver the food:))“

“Cherry Hill, if you are not getting chicken shawarma from this place or hummus, you are MISSING OUT. I love love love their food, this is the real deal. It's perfect in every way. Please keep them in business, I need to have this as a lunch spot, I love it so much. So yummy!! Really authentic, just perfect. Shokrun jazeelan!“

“Delicious happy hour appetizers and exceptional alcohol free drinks. Relaxing atmosphere outside and sports on the large screens inside.“

“Great food! Wonderful customer service. Very attentive to my requests. Keep up the good work.“

“Such a great meal. Got the baba ghanoush and hummus combo-hummus special was roasted onion-both were delicious. Had the cream of broccoli soup (soup of the day) probably the best cream of broccoli I've had. Girlfriend got the salmon over orzo-Oh Em Gee fab. I got the lamb shank-flavorful and fell right off the bone-i was in heaven. Owner was a hoot all night-really friendly and actually cared about his guest. We'll be back!“
