Halal Restaurants near East Orange, NJ

“My first time at this place found it on google . I order the turkey wings , yellow rice and candied yams. And I honest have to say the food was amazing very tasty . I RARELY write reviews for stores so that should tell you this place was good lol“

“Love the guys here. They are always very nice to me. Their hospitality is always appreciated. The food is cooked on the spot so it's always hot and fresh. I got some good advice on joint health at my last visit and was able to try the Ginger juice. It was definitely potenent. I liked the one with the lemon so I got one before I left. I also got this roll on pain reliever for joints that I haven't tried yet but when I do I'll let you guys know how it went ?. Overall I would recommend this place for Great Breakfast. I had the French toast last time. Delicious ?

Parking: So Orange Avenue is always filled with cars. You're lucky to find a parking space right in front.“

“I came cross this place randomly and have been coming here religiously for the last few months. Its a no frills place with great wings. Always hot and made to order. The staff are very kind as well. Def swing by if you’re in the area or you can even call for pickup.“

“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.“

“I wish I would have got the young boys name that was working the front. He was so so so nice. Great customer service. Knew the menu items and all the content of them. The chicken is a must, everything was fresh, the Gyro Sandwich was so large it fed two people (the sauce on them was so great). Prices are great as well. The macaroni salad also great. This is a MUST try! We are only here for Vacation and I like small hole in the wall places this was definitely a 10/10!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Been coming to this spot since I was 3! I was a bit apprehensive when I heard they had switched owners, and would be offering more than just pizza and would no longer just be cash only. However, the quality and customer service has never changed, they are just as warm and welcoming as usual. As long as I’m an Elizabeth resident, I’ll never stop coming here! Period!“

“Amazing food definitely recommend“

“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“

“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“

“sitting, thankful i chose pita square for lunch. i was craving something to make me feel fulfilled, not full. balanced and fresh. i chose to be picky today and it went in my best favor. we’ll get into the food, but let’s start off with the atmosphere. pita square is fresh, clean, and airy. which makes it a great spot to relax and enjoy your meal in peace. colorful with subtle decor, clean bathrooms, great customer service, and an affordable menu. i got the $7.99 lamb platter: well seasoned lamb, rice, and colorful salad, drizzled with white and hot sauce. everything is very fresh. the best of all, perfect portion to eat some and pack for later. giving them their 10s, stop by and give it a try. i’m glad i did. i feel great after eating.“

“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.“

“We love this place! The name is misleading as it has the most authentic Pakistani/ Indian entrees not just fried fast food! Everything we’ve tried from their menu is delicious but our personal fav are biryani, Haleem, chicken tikkas, bihari and parathas. Their special naans are amazing! The owner ( Mr Aezaz) takes a genuine interest in customers satisfaction.
Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“My husband bought gyro platter take-outs from the store and we heated up the next day for lunch. It was very fresh and tasty. My 3 year old loved it so much and kept asking for more. They offered generous portions as well. I and my kiddos shared one platter and there was still left-over.“

“This place is top tier. The service is quick considering the amount of people they serve at all hours of the day. The food is fresh and delicious. Reasonable prices and LARGE portions. I’ve had the falafel platter and can never finish it alone! The good is seriously irresistible. I highly recommend dessert too! The almond cake is heavenly and the banana pudding is also great. Great place to eat in Elizabeth ??✨✨“

“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 had an appointment on Bay Area & had r have any breakfast. It was already after 2 pm & was very hungry . So I searched it up if there is any halal restaurant near me. I found this one, didn't even realized it existed until today . I don't live around that area & barely come to this part of the island . Upon asking I have found out that they had been open more than 6 months ! But it's never too late to try a new restaurant & get surprised!

Tell you the truth Turkish food isn't my regular food, but I do love it. There are so much I gotta try still & that's the exciting part !

So when I came in was seated right away. I decided to try something new which I never tried before. So ordered lentil soup, lamb chop & tried their spicy Mock-tail. It was soo good !
Lentil soup was ok, lamb chop was yummy, it was my first time trying lamb chop actually & because they had 2 different portions size I was able to order for me. I am so glad I did ! Altho it was only 2 pieces but it comes with rice, bread & salad. Very filling ! Then I had to order a dessert called Kunafe & it was so yummy !and of course I can't finish without trying some tea or coffee. So I tried the Turkish tea! After all this exciting food I was soo full but I will definitely be back !

The place is not that big but cozy! Restroom was beautiful & clean. Customer service was good, everyone does not speak English well & I don't speak their language! It did took some patience for both of us to communicate lol__

By the way that don’t serve alcohol, so eat & enjoy food with full confidence!“

“Everything is great. The food,staff and portions.“

“I saw this place while driving . I wanted to try authentic Yemeni coffee. I tried Sana’ani coffee which is medium roast coffee with cardamom. I enjoyed this exotic taste. Store is clean and comfortable. Staff is knowledgeable about coffee. They offer authentic Yemeni desserts and America and desserts. They also nice selection of exotic teas.“

“Ms. Gülfer was very hospitable, she took care of us, the food was excellent, thank you for offering tea.

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

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

“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“

“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“

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

“Great Place! Charcoal Chicken is to die for damn good! The place is great for family and they really give great food and attention to service. The highlight is the charcoal chicken with the rice and the spicy sauce to have mix with the rice.“

“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.“

“This is one of the best chicken PLACES I ever been to and I've been in many, great chicken, very clean, employee's are awesome, and they handle your FOOD in a very sanitized way, one other thing they do it right in front of you, and there pizza is also good all around it's a great place to get your FOOD, I guarantee it, 110%,plus tax“

“I really enjoyed their food. It is a hidden jewel on South St. Their coffee is good. You have to make it yourself. It is very clean. You can vall ahead and they can have it ready for you just to pick it up. I learn that lunch time is a busy period, so it is to a great advantage calling for pick up.“

“We ordered so many different items shishka bobs soup. 2 fish entress.everything was fantastic!! WELCOME.TO.SPRINGFIELD“

“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.“

“Nice clean place,fresh food,not processed. Excellent customer service“

“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!.“

“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!!!!!“

“A long time secret gem of Paterson, NJ. Best Waffles anywhere. One of the places you can get delicious breakfast, lunch and or dinner at the same time. Everything on the menu is amazing and the owner is always open to having a great conversation. Definitely one of most favorite places in the city!“

“I literally been ROCKING with JORDAN’S for 10+years and folks they never ever miss always on point nailing them grits and Belgian waffles and practically everything else. Never doubt try for yourself💯🙏🏽👌🏽💋

Parking: I really couldn’t tell anyone anything because I’ll be telling a lie, I literally double park each time might a find a parking spot on the side of the street but when and how long ago a mystery to me lol“

“Excellent food. Ordered Chicken burger, fries and friend chicken. Food was fresh, tasty and warm. More than everything, had a great conversation with Mr. Javed while waiting for my food to get ready, who is the owner of the restaurant and a thorough gentleman. Will highly recommend.“

“Excellent service, delicious food, spacious dining, reasonably priced.“
