Middle Eastern Restaurants near Elmwood Park, NJ

“Delicious, quick, and such nice staff! I love the veggies and the pickles along with the wonderfully herbaceous hot sauce!“

“Zaffron Bloom is an absolute GEM in Hasbrouck Heights. The family owned restaurant offers authentic Persian cuisine cooked fresh to order. The owners are extremely kind and will always do their best to make sure the food is good and you enjoy yourself. I’ve been looking for some authentic persian food for a while and this is easily my top choice in NJ. Seriously if you are ever in the area and are considering going here it is well worth it.
The food is cooked fresh when you order so take some time to enjoy the atmosphere and menu. They have everything from homemade cultural teas to fantastic kebabs and desserts. Not to mention their food is Halal for anyone curious. Like I said before if you want to enjoy some genuine Persian food there is no where else to look!“

I would recommend and come back! The frena bread and hummus are obviously a must!“

“I love their Chicken Pita wrap and wings.Make sure to ask for “double fried” which makes it extra crispy like the Korean Fried Chicken. My favorite sauce of choice always would be honey bbq. The Gyro platter is my second favorite but I will always go for the Chicken Pita wrap because the meat and sauce consistency is excellent.They also have a banana pudding that you cannot forget to buy as a side. I normally hate chunky bananas in my banana pudding but theirs is absolutely my favorite. (No chunky banana’s)The service is okay (that’s where I give it 4.5) there is one guy there that never smiles or laughs I’m not sure what his issue is but every time I went there in the lunch time he never seemed to be welcoming but I never let that affect me. I just come the hours he’s not there. But either way the other employees and owner are fantastic don’t let one mood ruin your whole day.The food is great. Overall I would pick this place when I need my gyro fix in the Wayne area.“

“Great food and service combined with a great outdoor dining area. We will be back!“

“Bismillah. Assalamualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

My mother and I drove here from an hour away for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, and Alhamdulillah, we enjoyed our time immensely.

We found street parking easily right outside, the ambience and atmosphere is lovely,, the people were kind and took care of us with a smile (they treated everyone that walked in like family!), and the food delicious from soups to meals. The pita was soft and delicious, perfectly made and enjoyed immensely by us Pakistanis who live on roti! The salad had the best spicy kick and the shrimp meal we ordered was absolutely wonderful - coming from someone who married someone that grew up at the shore and just as picky about seafood now, this cast iron dish was cooked to perfection. I wanted to bring it home for my beach boy to try but it never made it home (Astaghfirullah 😅). But it's okay cuz we're coming back to get some more,
إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰه
InshaAllah and also try all the things!!!

Highly recommend these guys for the food, the people and the atmosphere. Allahumma Barik, Yemen Land 🤲🏽“

“This restaurant has some of the best Greek fries I’ve ever had! My girlfriend agrees:) the food always comes out in timely manner. You can certainly taste the care and quality in every dish! I’ve been coming here for 10 years I would know!“

“Shlomo's kindness and generosity is endless! Not only has he offered to participate in a PTO sponsored dine to donate today, but when our school staff ordered lunch to support, he refused payment and insisted the payment be donated to the PTO in full! He gets plenty of love and all is deserved! Thank you Shlomo and Gyro Grill for not only delicious food but for your continued acts of love in the Wayne community!“

“AMAZING FOOD!!! Makes the BEST schnitzel ever!!“

“Thank you Nouri Cafe for your always great tasteful Middle Eastern food and your kind working staff. God bless you all 🥰🙏“

“We had the Swordfish special, which was cooked perfectly. The wine was very good, reasonably priced for a restaurant. Service was cordial and friendly. The ambience was very unique, since the restaurant is in the basement of a building, full of interesting and well decorated nooks and crannies.“

“Best restaurant in Bergen county and Passaic 👌“

“Delicious food and amazing customer service.“

“It was great. Great go-to place for turkish food. Everything they have is delightful. And they have an awesome liqour called rakeh I may be spelling it wrong, but thats okay! Add ice to it, and it changes colors! Finally asked what filling they use on the cheese rolls!!! I LOVE THE CHEESE ROLLS WITH HONEY. LOVE LOVE LOVE. They would absolutely be my go-to place if parking was easier. The girl that worked with me.... I forgot her name...
Runs around like a cheeta, always moving but always attentive. She is so sweet and lovely!!!! My favorite desserts of today was the kanefeh and baklava. Always loved them both. They are home-made desserts. Absolutely Divine. Will be coming by again soon. If I am lucky with parking.“
