Middle Eastern Restaurants near Englewood, NJ

“My kids and I love this place and keep going back. The food is consistently great and the staff is always so nice, patient, accommodating and helpful.“

“Google maps got us here with no problem, but the restaurant name has changed.

I ended up sampling four different appetizers. They were all excellent. The service was attentive without being intrusive. I don't know if the noise level is an issue as only one other table was occupied while we were there.“

“I know. the owner while. she had catering business. she is best chef in persian. cooking“

“Amazing. Got the shawarma plate and it was loaded. Really appreciate the portions of meat and vegetables. Delicious toppings with hummus and tahini and cucumber and cabbage and eggplant etc. Highly recommend. You will be satisfied. Great, fast service too.“

“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!“

“Was there only fees night ago party of 10 only peoples from the business every one was just amazed

“It is the best persian food I have tried in New York. The staff was friendly and professional.The owner is very kind, also he is the former goal keeper of Persepolis soccer team of Iran.“

“We really enjoyed our experience at Gazala's. Very reasonable prices for Manhattan. Excellent food. Very friendly and professional staff. Even the pickiest members of our party enjoyed it. I highly recommend it.“

“My first time visiting and Ahmed was so kind and welcoming! I tried the mixed platter with three different meats and two sides (I chose rice and salad). The salad was fresh and crunchy, the meat and rice were seasoned wonderfully. Every bite was delicious, and the portions were huge. It's more a restaurant vibe so give them a little time to cook the food. Overall I highly recommend and I'll be coming back!“

“Absolutely amazing food!. Best Spinach pies I've ever had.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Delicious Food & Great Service!

Mazador Kebab really impressed me! The kebabs were soft, juicy, and full of flavor. The rice and soup were delicious too. Staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the place was clean — even the restroom! Prices were reasonable for the quality. Highly recommended!“

“Great food and friendly people the best Falafel and Shawarma“

“Really a great and very unique restaurant. First of all, the bread is more than great and completely different from any other bread in the United States. In the restaurant, you feel as if you are in Egypt or any other Arab country. You can have breakfast with beans, falafel, hummus, liver, and heart, just like you would eat in any popular restaurant in Egypt. For lunch, you can also eat Mandi and various delicious meats. The prices are reasonable, and the area where the restaurant is located is very lively 🌸🌸“

“Good Luck � My Friend“

“One of the best middle eastern restaurants in metro NYC. we came with a part of five and ordered up a large sample of dishes. Everything we tried was one better than the next. Super tasty humus, light, fresh and lemony. I had a stuffed chicken over rice, which was to die for. We tried the mixed grill, shawarma, Middle East platter and several salads.
Very reasonable prices. Simple brightly lit space with a lovely staff.“

“Lavashawarma is absolutely excellent! 🌟 From start to finish, everything was perfect — the food is delicious and fresh, the staff are so kind and helpful, and the manager goes above and beyond to make sure customers are happy. The delivery was also fast and professional. Honestly, every detail shows how much they care about their customers. Highly recommended!“

“A True Paradise!

I'm thrilled to return to 2 Paradise Restaurant after a year, and I must say, they've taken their excellence to the next level! My previous experiences were already top-notch, but the improvements they've made are truly impressive.

I ordered two chicken wraps, and the flavors were absolutely delightful. The quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation shone through in every bite.
I highly recommend 2 Paradise Restaurant to anyone seeking exceptional taste and value. The team's dedication to continuous improvement is genuinely admirable.“

“One of the best Palestinian food around 10 stars“

“Came in for dinner with wifey… and BROOOO!! This food slaps different!!! Oh my god! Guys not to sound dramatic or anything but this food taste like homemade from grandma vibes! Also if your looking to dine in this restaurant there is many seatings available, bib tables for bigger families as well! 4.7 stars is disrespectful, it deserves a 5 STAR!!! See you guys soon“

“let me tell you all something people of Teaneck. you need to come to sababa grill!!!!. the food is fresh, yummy and delicious. everything you get will blow your minds and pallet. I highly recommend the Moli and Dani shawarma. the brisket for Shabbat is Divine. Dani is a pleasure to talk to and he operates his business like no other. much respect Dani keep doing what you do and can't wait to come back this week“

“I stopped in on my way home from Rhode Island to Philadelphia. I made the stop because this place has amazing authentic food. I use to live in Queens and came here every week. I since moved a few years back and I will stop here every time I get a chance. Love the owner, very friendly and kind and he hands out free falafel throughout the day.“

“For over 9 years,
I've visited this restaurant in the Astoria area of Queens, NY with my family and friends.
After playing semi-pro soccer and now as an amateur, I always come here to enjoy a great time.
The food is delicious and flavorful, and the service is excellent.
I highly recommend it to anyone.
And the best part? It's not expensive — affordable for any budget.
TN.
Visit it and you'll see!

I'm back today for my favorite fish.
Last time I forgot to put 5 star.“

“This location on UWS is newly opened about a few months ago. It’s quite spacious inside. It’s close to the subways. There are tables and seatings inside. It has a very nice cafe feel. During mid-afternoon, they had space to eat inside, which was nice. I got a cauliflower with brown rice and toppings bowl. It was so filling. The cauliflower is very flavorful and the right texture, not too soft. I don’t even miss the meat. It’s a good wholesome vegetarian meal for when you want a lighter bowl. I usually get their beef shawarma or kafta, but wanted to try meatless. So delicious.“

“Delicious and friendly. Been coming here for years and bringing friends who visit from out of town.“

“The Koshari! Will go back again for sure!“

“Amazing food and great customer servicing!!Highly recommended💯“

“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 . . .“

“One of my favorite places in Harlem to hear great music while enjoying food & company!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I love Mediterranean food. When I went to Cinar, I was so impressed with the food and service. Absolutely authentic flavors, and the hummus and chicken kebab were bursting with flavors and lip-smacklingly delicious!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!“

“This restaurant adds something missing from our neighborhood. The food satisfies and the service impresses. Her cheerful approach sincerely transformed my experience. They showcase their specialty effectively. I believe you'll enjoy this spot.“

“Delicious middle eastern food at fair prices!!!“

“This restaurant has been a cherished part of my life since my elementary school days. The garlic sauce is amazing, and their grilled chicken with the red sauce is pure magic. The boss's warm hospitality makes you feel at home, and their Basbousa dessert is a must buy after dinner/lunch. I can't rate it anything less than 5/5 - I'll be a lifelong customer!“

“Nice and clean place!! I loved the pizza and the cheese cake!!!!!!!!!!“

“Loved being able to grab a tasty vegan wrap before a long train ride. I ordered in the station and made it through a long line very quickly with a meal wrapped for later. The flavors were lovely and I was able to choose so many distinct toppings like Lebanese pickles, pickled turnips, slaw, and hot sauce.“

“Fast service and food tastes soo good“

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience at this restaurant. The food was spectacular. I will dream about it. Service was prompt and polite. Best middle eastern food I have had in a long time. If you are in the area, you must stop by. It’s worth it!“

“I like the setup of the food very clean some Buffet places you go to it's nasty and messy this was very impressive and the food was reasonable. I didn't get a lot but it was enough to satisfy me . It was really tasty well seasoned and and freshly made.“

“Food and drinks were delicious and our wait staff was friendly and attentive! Two thumbs up!“

“Ordered from this place a few times when I was in the area. Always fresh and tastes pretty good, on the spicy side. Staff were friendly and owner was very accomodating and gave me a free chocolate for making a large order...
And they play nice music while you wait...

..“

“whether you stop by at lunch rush or late evening, the food comes out hot, flavorful, and filling. The staff is quick and friendly, and even when the line looks long, it moves fast. Prices are very reasonable for Midtown, especially considering the portion size you won’t leave hungry.“

“Fantastic Doner, the cuisine is exceptional.“

“I have visited Aden multiple times and have always enjoyed my experiences. Delicious Yemeni food, likely the best in Queens, whether sit down, take-out, or from their street grill, coupled with the friendly service will keep me and my family coming back. Take the poor reviews of this business and set them aside as merely bad judgment on the reviewer's. This is not a fast food restaurant! Expect to wait a little, but you will be satisfied.Their Steinway Halal cart outside offers half chicken and kabobs over rice. Delicious!“

“Great food, fast and friendly service. Definitely going back!“

“Really good food and service. Falafel and garlic is sauce is out of this world.“

“Great food and service ….“

“In a diverse city like New York, there are flavors from many countries. This is a Yemeni restaurant. Although the store is not big, it attracts many diners, perhaps just to taste different flavors. It may not pay much attention to hygiene, but the chef makes every dish with care, and I think their grilled fish rice is very delicious. Maybe it’s because I love fish….“

“TOP Service! Thanks to owners of the restaurant for delicious food and warm welcome. Lentil soup and cacik were fantastic.

Me and my wife had a pleasure to have lunch with tasty meals. Adana was perfect, must visit place to eat and relax. Wish you all the best!“

“my first time there. the merguez sandwich is so delicious. OMG so yummy 😋 great service. 🇩🇿🇲🇦 my new destination in steinway.“

“This restaurant is best when it comes to food, ambiance and service. Food presentation is also so cool. The location is awesome in midtown Manhattan. Perfect place for Dinner and Lunch. Prices are also economical given the location and food.“
