Halal Restaurants near East Orange, NJ

“My first time customer experience: I only had the fried chicken wings (ordered for a Super Bowl party) and they were delicious! Everyone loved them. I would have liked them fried just a little harder so you'll have to make that request, if you're like me. My only issue was I called a few days in advance to understand the procedure when ordering a large quantity of wings. On the day to order, they completely switched up on me and made me come in to pick them up immediately and when I got there, they didn't have my order ready at the time they insisted I be there. Although, I dropped everything (cooking for the party) to get there at the time they told me. Upon arriving, I received attitude because I didn't leave a name, even though they never asked me. I ended up waiting another 30 mins for my order. It cost me 1.5 hours total and I was really late for my party. I will try not to hold this against them because it was really busy for them. I would try to eat here again. I just wanted to inform anyone ordering large quantities of food to beware of that.“

“This place is a gem!! a must eat!! We found it through Uber Eats and ordered 1x. It was so good. The portions were amazing. Portions are like something grandma would serve her hungry kids. We visited and now I frequent it almost daily! Homefries platter is not for the faint of heart. You've got to have a hearty appetite or share it out. Grits platter...well...something of a southern treasure! Beef bacon egg and cheese sandwich is always a perfect on the run, goodie! We tried the shrimp over rice and that was nice. Chicken over rice was even better as it had a slight kick to it. And again, no matter what you order, bring a healthy appetite cause you're gonna need it and a long nap, after! These guys are amazing!! Truly! They're sweet! They're efficient! They can throw down on that gril!! Yummmmm Oh...and if you've never had it, their lemon ginger drink is amazeballs!! This place really is a gem in the middle of a jungle 😆 Visit them and be kind! Far too many ppl are not kind or feel entitled to speak to them ill mannered. Please don't! These guys really are good people and their food speaks for itself. Thank you gentlemen for always providing the best!!“

“Always friendly and service is good. Food cooked and ready for pickup promptly. I love the board where you can add a sadaqa (charity) meal for someone to eat. You purchase an item on the menu and pin it to the board. When someone comes in who is needy, They just pick a ticket from the board and they can eat. What a novel idea to spread around.“

“The food was ? delicious and not super pricey. There was a bit of a wait. I feel like it was worth while. They've been in business for years..

Vegetarian options: I asked for vegetable fried rice instead of chicken fried rice with my combo. It's also Halal for those that don't eat pork.“

“For halal chicken spots, this one might be the best tasting. Small, no seats, the rest of the menu is pretty standard, but this place takes the time to put very nice spices on the chicken. One time, the pieces were very big, and the chicken wasn't as well done as I would have liked, but that wasn't typical. Typically, it's delicious.“

“Omg it's been so long i haven't been here, but their pizza is the best and the all the foods that he has it's delicious especially the salads. I will recommend anybody to come here and sit down and eat a delicious pizza🍕🤗😉☺️“

“Don't underestimate this place. I've been to 5 star restaurants and in my opinion this eatery shares some of the same qualities that I admire in upscale restaurants: consistency and deliciousness.

The people behind the register are friendly but quiet. I go here during week when I want something that is fresh and high in protein. They provide you with generous portions so if you workout and need a solid amount of protein and carbs this is my favorite in the area. I enjoy eating here more than Chipotle, higher quality meat with bolder flavors and they serve uniform portions of chicken. They don't cut corners here.

The chicken platter is my favorite and I highly recommend it to people wanting to try something new. With the chicken platter I enjoy the fresh zesty flavors of onions, tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and tzatziki sauce on the side. I recommend ordering an extra sauce with your order. WIth the colder months I'd also recommend the their lentil soup. It was really tasty!

Side note: I don't recommend the cheese burger. It's not their specialty. Stick with the chicken platter.“

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

“What a beautiful restaurant the food is so fresh and delicious made with love. Absolutely hidden HEM. I will definitely go there as much as I can when I’m up north but it must try and you will not regret it. Thank you.“

“The food is delicious!
I got the original chicken with rice platters and one chicken mix gyro wrap. Excellent and momma is really hard to please. We’re transplants from NYC and with NYC being at the top of the dining out / take home capital it is tough for many States and counties to compete with the flavor and cooking styles easily found in NYC just around every corner.

OMGRYRO easily hits all the marks with the exception of the Jerk Chicken. Jerk Chicken flavor profile is no bueno in my humble opinion and that is because it doesn’t come close to tasting like jerk seasoning and can’t compare to true jerk style flavor.

Everything else is we ordered and devoured tasted great, high on flavor with decent portion sizes.

Hope they put the Jerk Season flavor to the chicken NYC style.“

“THIS PLACE IS AWESOME !!!! I came from Canada and wanted to try something other than Halal Guys. This place blows them out of the water. Ordered:

1) Chicken Platter - AWESOME !!!! Portion was good and flavor was sooooooo good

2) Philly Cheese Steak - OMG !!!! The hero/sub was sooo good that it is a "must have"

3) Mixed Gyro - ALHUMDULLIAH !!!! The Sandwich / Pita was so packed that it took time to eat and I enjoyed every bite.

4) The Big Ash Chicken - MASHALLAH !!! The taste was sooo good that I wish I had more.

Anyone that follows me, this place has to be on your list of MUST TRY.

To the Owners/Cook/Workers - I come from Canada every other month and now I have 1 more reason to come...May Allah grant you much more success.“

“Food is fresh & tasty. Staff are very nice too.“

“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 😋“

“Food is fresh & tasty. Staff are very nice too.“

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

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

“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“

“Hempstead location is the best halal on Long Island!“

“Not sure why negative comments , I have been coming here for a couple weeks now and the food is amazing and fresh they even make the buns fresh. My favorite is the grilled chicken sandwich. The staff is also very nice“

“Dude, that burger was awesome! They ground the beef right there while we were ordering. The fries were perfectly crispy and so good. I think they coulda bundled the fries and a drink to make a few extra bucks and make ordering easier, though.

And I wish they had a soda fountain with refills for one price.“

“Looking for a great place for lunch or dinner HPK is outstanding from Gyros to rice platters with the white sauce you will fill up unless you have a bottomless pit I highly recommend you stop by .“

“The Philly cheese steak is delicious. Tried some fried chicken too…also very tasty. I will be eating here again.“

“If you see hateful reviews written here within the last 24 hrs, it is pure POLITICAL. These people most likely haven't even stepped inside this restuarant. I am pretty sure if a Republican candidate asked to be hosted there, they would honor the same. Regardless, everyone is free to support whomever they want including the owners of this restuarant. Now let's get to the real facts! Excellent cuisine full of vegeterian options. The best Turkish I had thus far. I brought my coworkers here and they loved it. I would highly reccommend this place.“

“The food is a 10/10. Fresh and very well seasoned. The quesadillas aren’t greasy, the rice is great, the salad is fresh, and the meat is so good! I ordered a regular size meal but I couldn’t finish it. The desserts are great too, try the almond cake or the chocolate cake. Definitely more of a takeout spot but a hidden gem for sure 💎“

“The shawarma is really great. They work in a very good way“

“They have the freshest , BEST FOOD in NJ. They are also very polite and helpful. The owner is so sweet and everything is made to order!! Definitely a win win 🏆“

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

“The food is always at the best standard! It’s made fresh every time you order and no matter what you order it will be delicious! We usually take it to go but the owner is always so friendly and we go so often he knows us! It’s always a pleasure to eat from here and it’s very accessible, less than $15 per person for an amazing meal! Would highly recommend coming here!“

“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!“

“Arguably a top 2 halal option in the Jersey City area, you can swap it from 1st or 2nd. They changed the lamb seasoning a few months ago, i did not like that but I ordered today and the lamb taste like how it originally did. 6 stars is i could give it that“

“My breakfast was great this morning.“

“The staff are really warm and friendly and the food was absolutely delicious! I love their lemonade and the desserts do not disappoint! Celebrated my daughter and my Birthday and the staff made our day with surprise treats. Brought me to tears! Thank you to everyone at The Olive Bistro!“

“so very good! no more chik fil a“

“PIDDE DELICIOUS PLACE IN NEW JERSEY;
I’ve been living in the U.S. for 16 years, and the thing I’ve missed and loved the most is lahmacun. After trying it at PIDDE, I’ve never had lahmacun anywhere else again. At other places I’ve tried over the years, I always experienced heartburn afterward — but never at PIDDE.

It’s a place you can visit with your family and feel completely at ease. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.🙏“

“I’ve never had Turkish food but I decided to try it out and it was delicious, I had the donor with lamb and beef and the chicken vegetable soup. Everything was great and good portions too. The bread they brought to the table was amazing as well as the Turkish tea“

“Alkumah is an awesome hidden gem! The sandwiches are absolutely incredible, fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. I highly recommend the Kuftha sandwich spicy which is perfectly seasoned with just the right kick. Great spot for a quick bite or casual meal.“

“We stopped by for dinner. Everything was fantastic! The owner is so nice and sweet. Grilled chicken is super!! Homemade sauce are so delicious. One of the best restaurant in Springfield! Recommended! 👏👏“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food is absolutely delicious!!. Atmosphere is super casual, decent amount of seating, staff we're kind, and friendly. Everything made to order, so be prepared to wait up to 10 minutes for a hot/fresh/delicious meal. In my opinion the 6 piece grilled tenders are the best value for your buck, definitely ask for a side of their white sauce, it's out of this world delicious!!. Food is a tad spicy, but nothing extraordinary, the spice level is fine for casual spice tolerance individuals like myself. All around great place to dine. I've dined in/out Food was great either way. 10/10 easily!.“

“Best service and affordable Price!“

“friendly Atmosphere good service nice perfectly cooked portion sizes and food makes you feel like Sunday dinner with family“

“My new favorite spot for the best sandwiches hands down in staten island. The pastrami was perfectly done and bread made it even better . So was the chopped cheese .oh and don't get me started on the fries omg .. nice and crispy hot and no oil residue whatsoever.. keep up the good work guys . Service was a plus btw“

“So I’ve always heard about Dave’s but never been till today, first off the service I received was beyond exceptional Dylan M took my order not only did he service with a smile he took time to figure out what I like and suggested what I should get and he was right it did not disappoint I also received my order from Angel H who also provided me and my friend service with a smile he told us how to mix are sauce for the best flavor. I truly appreciate top notch service with a smile it’s very rare now a days, the service alone will have me coming back again!!!!!“

“best ever Halal, i ever tried , 100% recommended. try once & will get addiction of theu Angus beef“

“LOVED IT! I love the vibe of the place- stepping into a different world with original flavors from another country with their rich heritage and organic beans. Cool place to take friends for a meetup. Highly recommend.“

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

“if you hear anything negative about this place it's a lie! everything they serve its like mama cooked it! finally found a spot that serves basa fish,(fried) my old spot closed, the pieces could be larger for the price ,but it's well made like my old spot! the French fries are real fries,meaning they don't get soggy if reheated! :) the $2.99 chicken an rice, FIRE! an it's filling, but if you're a fat boy like me order 2!:)“
