Lebanese Restaurants near Englewood, NJ

“I stumbled into this restaurant & was surprised how good the food was. They are different from any middle eastern restaurant. The chicken dish was delicious & spiced beautifully. The lentil soup was delicious & was different to what I always have. Will definitely come back for more!“

“The best authentic Lebanese food in NYC. A must-try. All there food is fresh and delicious and very generous quantities. Their Shawarma is soooo good, you can eat it in bowl or a sandwich with lots of yummy toppings. I also tried their falafel and it was super good!“

“Izzy is always accommodating & nice. I’ve always had a good food experience whenever I go.“

“Very recommended. The taste of food is very good. The quantities are generous and the service is fast. The one thing that spoiled it a little is that they would not show us to the table before all guests arrived. So we waited at the door for a while. On the way out the queue was pretty long.“

“Goes this place doesn't have a higher rating on Google is beyond me. The falefal is a 5 o ut of 5 The rice is the best I've ever had. It's both soft and creamy almost! I'm having the lamb shish kaboblan special. It is juicy and not chewy. Nothing is ever over salted here or overcooked the many times that I've been here. I even drive here for lunch 20 minutes away, even though there's Middle Eastern places a few minutes away from my job. The beef liver is great. Here the baba ganoush and hummus are tasty. Not oily. Very good lentil soup. It really tastes homemade!“

“This grocery store has many middle eastern products from Halal meats to basmati rice & all kinds of spices and flavors. Also the ready food section is very popular and looks authentic.

Vegetarian options: You can find vegetarian food in the menu.“

“I recently visited Naya to pick up lunch for my team, and it was an amazing experience! Everyone loved what they ordered, and it’s no surprise given the quality and variety this place offers.

I had the Naya Bowl with Kafta Lamb Kebab, and it was absolutely delicious. The base of vermicelli rice paired perfectly with the seasoned lamb kebabs, which were tender, flavorful, and spiced just right. I especially appreciated the unlimited fresh toppings—there are so many great options to customize your bowl exactly how you want it!

I also grabbed a few sides, including the Little Tabboule and Labne with White Pita. The tabboule was fresh and vibrant, with the perfect balance of parsley, mint, bulgur, and a zesty lemon-olive oil dressing. The labne was creamy and rich, making it the perfect dip for the freshly baked, soft white pita.
The service was another standout- they were friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience seamless and pleasant.

Naya does an excellent job of staying true to its mission of providing authentic, fresh, and nutritious Middle Eastern meals. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. Highly recommend this spot for a quick, satisfying, and healthy meal!

Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you, Naya! ?“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great time as always“

“Tasty, healthy and reasonably priced food can be hard to come by in Manhattan. Naya is one of best in these regards! I pickup lunch from them about once a week and they always have my order ready when promised and usually someone helping me find my order which is great!

Dietary restrictions: I’m vegan and can find quite a few things to eat here. Vegans have to go with the ruby rice and have to avoid the baba ganoush, which is unfortunate because baba ganoush is usually vegan and one of my favorites!y“

“We ordered for the first time tonight from Sammy, former proprietor of JuJu’s Bagels now transformed into El Toum. We ordered 4 items and they were ready for pickup in less than 25 minutes. The Mixed Kebab platter, Kofta Burger with fries, Falafel Sandwich with extra tahini sauce, and El Toum Appetizer were refreshingly homemade, tasted delicious, and proved outstanding bangs for the buck. More than enough food for a family of four with leftovers. This is a very welcome addition to a neighborhood missing this kind of fare. I highly recommend supporting this local business. Some of the best falafel and tabouli I’ve tasted in quite some time too!“

“This is the best thing that happened in the upper East Side. Balila restaurant just opened. The authenticity of Lebanon’s touch brings you straight to the heart of Beirut. The service, the quality and the Hospitality is amazing. The owner himself goes beyond to make customers leave happy. All the best. Strongly recommended to all“

“Great Lunch… Izzy our waiter went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our lunch. We go here frequently and always a good meal and very accommodating.“

“Something different, I really enjoyed it.“

“Excellent food and service Good environment.“

“Love it and love the owners. I’ve been going here for over 30 years“

“one of my fav restaurants in NYC“

“Best restaurant I've ever found in midtown (and I've been here for a few years). . . . FIVE STARS! after having Tawook Chicken or Lamb Kabob for dinner I like to take home some Mouhamara and some hummus, especially on a Friday, for snacking. Balade helps get me through the weekend. 😄 I'm sharing a pic of some of Balade's fresh, delicious, Mouhamara on a diced up baked red potato. I had this at home this morning. It's also great on pita, or a cracker, or a slice of toast, or . . .“
