Halal Restaurants near East Rutherford, NJ

“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 😋“

“GERMAN DONER KEBAB - AN ENLIGHTENMENT If you're from Berlin, it feels like there's a kebab store on every other corner. So I can recognize and judge a kebab when I see it. Even just leaving Berlin and Brandenburg, the kebab experience changes within Germany. The further you get away from Berlin, the worse the kebabs get. Some time ago in New York, I discovered one or two places trying to make a kebab. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find a proper kebab in New York, despite the name kebab. What was being sold was called a kebab, but had very little to do with a kebab and tasted even less like a kebab. All the more enlightenment then... the recommendation of a friend living in Brooklyn. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. And then the first kebab there since 2018 here in New York. I can't even describe how happy I was. It looked like a kebab, it tasted like a kebab and came pretty close to a kebab from Berlin. Really well made. Incl. tax 12.51 dollars is a bit steep, but still good value for New York. The portion was good and filling. Everything is really fresh and well seasoned. The bread was just as it should be, thin and crispy. This was pretty much the best kebab I've had in a very, very long time (with the exception of one visit to Berlin). I will definitely go back there again. GERMAN DONER KEBAB - EINE ERLEUCHTUNG Wenn man aus Berlin kommt, hat man gefühlt an jeder zweiten Ecke einen Dönerladen. Ich kann also einen Döner erkennen und beurteilen, wenn ich ihn sehe. Allein schon Berlin und Brandenburg verlassend wird das mit dem Döner innerhalb von Deutschland anders. Je weiter man sich von Berlin entfernt, desto schlechter werden die Döner. In New York entdeckte ich schon vor einiger Zeit den einen oder anderen Anbieter mit dem Versuch, einen Döner zu machen. Bisher konnte ich leider in New York trotz Bezeichnung Döner keinen ordentlichen Döner entdecken. Das was da verkauft wurde, heißt zwar Döner, hatte mit Döner aber recht wenig zu tun und schmeckte noch viel weniger nach einem Döner. Um so mehr dann die Erleuchtung... die Empfehlung eines Freundes in Brooklyn lebend. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. Und dort dann der erste Döner seit 2018 hier in New York. Ich kann gar nicht beschreiben, wie sehr ich mich gefreut hatte. Es sah aus wie ein Döner, es schmeckte wie ein Döner und kam schon recht nah an einen Döner aus Berlin heran. Richtig gut gemacht. Incl. Tax 12,51 Dollar ist zwar sportlich, aber für New York wiederum preiswert. Die Portion ordentlich und sättigend. Wirklich alles frisch und gut gewürzt. Das Brot genau so wie es sein muss, dünn und knusprig. Also das war seit sehr sehr langer Zeit so ziemlich der beste Döner (mit Ausnahme einem Besuch in Berlin), den ich seit langer Zeit gegessen habe. Dahin kehre ich auf alle Fälle wieder zurück. -------------------------------------------------“

“So I just had iftaar with their tikka paratha roll that I had got last Sunday evening. It just tasted so good even though I ate it cold straight from the fridge. 😊 It didn't taste as good when I had ordered it on site. Then, without me even asking for anything, they remade it and gave it to me to take it home with me even though I had told them I was full. 😊😊 The largest portions I have ever seen anywhere, good food, clean, best interior and decor, excellent service. I have yet to see a BETTER or even equally nice place in NYC. 🤍 Jo baat hay. Food makes/breaks the mood.“

“Tried DHC and honestly it did not disappoint! The chicken is tender, juicy and flavourful. The meal options are not too expensive either! It was so good we came again the next day. Also it is halal certified!

It's also worth trying their slushe drinks! So much better than the 7/11 stores.

Only negative is that there is not enough seating and it can get super busy. It is a 10/10 and would recommend.“

“I didn’t know what I was missing - Uyghur Lagman. It is slightly different than Uzbek, but certainly authentic. The hand-pulled noodles here made all the difference, as did the kind and hospitable young woman at the counter. Wish I lived nearby so I could come here more often!“

“Best gyro I’ve ever had hands down! The lentil soup is also fantastic. Highly recommended for takeout! (You can eat there but it’s small)“

“Great food, all tasted fresh and didn't disappoint..we ordered the dinner for 2 that included 4 choices of cold starters and calamari that melts in your mouth and the salad was so good and the mix kebab and koftas over rice was good too..will definitely recommend and we shall be back! 😋“

“Really enjoyed the food at Gigi Halal Food! The falafel over rice was fresh, flavorful, and filling, and the burger was juicy and delicious. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and the service was great too. Definitely a good spot for tasty halal food. Would happily come back again!“

“Great customer service, food is outstanding and always fresh,mild and spicy sauces. Great prices.“

“When I got my food, some people lined up that were regulars. The server knew all their favorites and even came out to hug one of the customers. He was so nice! The food came out quickly, but I wouldn’t have cared if it took a while. I accidentally blocked the way for a stroller to get through because I was chatting with him since he was so nice. 10/10 :)“

“Great food it was beautiful outside quiet. I enjoyed my dinner I recommend everyone to go.“

“Absolutely incredible! One of the best halal spots I’ve tried. The mixed platter was hands down the best I’ve ever had! The chicken and meat were both incredibly flavorful, tender, and delicious. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned. I’ll definitely be coming back! 🤤🔥“

“If you’re looking for one of the best gyro spots in downtown Bowling Green, Continental Gyro is a must-visit. The food is always fresh, the gyros are packed with flavor, and the portions are generous. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this place is definitely worth a stop. Highly recommended!“

“Adam makes the food with love each and every single time I order from They're restaurant. There has never been a more astonishing time to be a resident of the state of new jersey. The first time I ate chicken and lamb over rice I ascended to become a greater life form and my credit score is now over 100. The falafel here is rumored to be made out of plutonium.“

“Good People - Great Food - just Go! Food so Fresh!“

“Food is delicious,specially halal food.“

“It's going to sound like I know this guy but I don't. I go to Halal guys, but the smell from this truck just got the best of me. All 3 sauces, the rice, the veggies... STELLAR! The line wasn't unreasonable, there were about 5 people ahead and I still got my food within 15 mins. Honestly, this is one of those plates of food you take a cab for.

You guys made a forever customer out of me!“

“great food and great prices“

“First time trying both the Chicken & Beef Doner Boxes.I was pleasantly surprised how GOOD everything was! The flavourful meats with fresh veggies and feta, with or without sauces, all combined with the unique bread is a great new dinning experience unlike anything else. I highly recommend giving this a try ! We will definitely be return customers ! The ladies were quite helpful and informative about the food and it's history as well as super nice !“

“If you’re looking for delicious halal food in NYC, this place is a must-visit.

Just a 7-minute walk from Times Square, it’s the perfect spot to grab some incredibly flavorful kebabs. Right across from the food cart, there’s a proper seating area where you can sit back, enjoy your meal, and soak in the hustle and bustle of New York City.

Highly recommended!“

“Food is great and service is always amazing!“

“Couldn't have had a better experience. The cheesesteak and the platters were amazing. My kids are picky and they all loved it. On top of that, the people there were so kind and know how to treat people. Also, the madina sauce was off the hook. We will definitely be back!“

“Super yummy! Nice service to the customers❤️“

“My husband and I went to Forefeathers tonight for dinner, it was excellent. The chicken tenders were delicious, the pink dipping sauce was very good.

“This was some of the best Halal food I’ve ever had, their name speaks for itself. The service was kind and quick. I got a combo plate over rice with all the sauces. It was so good I wish I got it again before leaving NY. I would definitely recommend them any day!“

“Genuinely as good as they say and super friendly service. Used to have this around my work and it was a godsend, would be less than $10 for more food and better quality than 99% of places nearby. So good that I will have to return to the area because I've been craving it!“

“The food was spectacular! The staff were superb!! Sultan platter for 2 fed a family of 4.“

“Royal Grill Halal on 44th & 6th Ave is a true Midtown gem (I've worked nearby for 30 years). He’s the nicest vendor you’ll meet and the chicken and rice is incredibly flavorful and fresh, with generous portions and speedy, friendly service. Highly recommended for delicious food and a nice experience every time.“

“Had a great experience at Shahs Halal Foods! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. We ordered the Philly Cheesesteaks, Golden Shawarma, and BBQ Chipotle Honey Wings, and everything tasted excellent.
A special thanks to Muhammad, who provided outstanding customer service. Muhammad was friendly, professional, and made sure our order was perfect. His hospitality made the visit even more enjoyable.
Highly recommend Shahs Halal Foods for anyone looking for delicious halal food and excellent service. We will definitely be back! 🍽👍“

“Naan was lightly buttered and crispy, perfect for accompanying the flavorful curry, highly recommended“

“Chicken over rice bowl is $10 and sooo worth it. It's so good. Prepared quickly and efficiently. I would maybe go light on the red sauce as it is very spicy, or remove it altogether (if sensitive to spice.)

Sometimes the chicken pieces have a weird texture or could be grilled a bit better. But that might be a personal preference thing. Fries are really good.“

“The atmosphere and service is excellent, food is delicious and authentic. One concern, though, is they served spoiled lentil with mutton rosh. It was replaced with fresh one upon bringing it to thier attention. Kabli palao and mutton rosh are recommended. Naan is also fresh, fluffy and yummy.“

““I wanna move in and die here” said my happy stomach and food soul after feasting here for the first time.
Everything looks and taste AMAZING!!!
My and my husband new favorite food spot and #1 halal and falafel place

Sooo fresh and delicious. Wonderful service and so clean and comfortable.

Can’t wait to come back!!!!

They have food for a great break fast, lunch, dinner, party, dessert and even tea and honey 🍯

“I've visited these place multiple times with my family. Humus, Cucumber Yougurt and falafel are the best sides here. Shawarma and Lamb Kaufta were so Tastyyy!!!! Service is attentive and super kind. This place is a must if you like Mediterranean food. Definitely worth it!!!“

“If you’re looking for **authentic Bangladeshi food** that’s both **delicious and affordable**, *Affan* is the place to go! Located right here in New Jersey, this restaurant delivers an experience that feels like a warm, home-cooked meal — full of rich flavors, comforting spices, and genuine hospitality. We went with our **autistic daughter**, and the experience was truly wonderful. The staff were incredibly kind, patient, and understanding, making sure she felt completely comfortable the entire time. It’s clear that *Affan* is genuinely **autism-friendly**, and we deeply appreciated how calm, welcoming, and sensory-considerate the atmosphere was. Every dish we tried was exceptional — the biryani was fragrant and perfectly spiced, the curries were flavorful without being overwhelming, and the parathas were soft and freshly made. Portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and the cleanliness of the restaurant is impressive. You can really tell that they care about both their food and their guests. Whether you’re Bangladeshi and missing home-cooked flavors or just love discovering new cuisines, *Affan* will exceed your expectations. It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines **authentic taste, affordability, cleanliness, and inclusivity** so beautifully. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back“
