Halal Restaurants near Hackensack, NJ

“Just found it on the way to our hotel when we stop at dominoes pizza ,so I just enter the restaurant and order burns road chutney paratha roll and mayo garlic roll and falooda for me and my husband. And don’t regret at all . Amazing food. And having authentic falooda after so long. I must say falooda was actually the hit better than Toronto. (We are visiting newyork from toronto.) very near by to our uncle’s home. So we will definitely stop by next visit to newyork for falooda for sure.“

“I visited this place for the first time, and they have some of the most delicious chicken and beef bowls I’ve ever had. The food was excellent, the location is great with plenty of parking, and the flavors were outstanding. This is definitely a spot everyone should visit whenever they’re in the area.“

“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

“Probably one of the best, if not THE BEST, Lahori /Pakistani restaurants in the US. The street food style menu is such a unique and authentic experience.

We tried the paratha rolls which were perfectly spiced, wrapped in flaky paratha with amazing chutneys and the crispy chicken sandwiches that were huge, juicy, and packed with desi inspired flavors. The gappa chaat was a showstopper too, tangy, spicy, fresh, and beautifully presented.

The place has such a cool, authentic vibe with vibrant murals and a welcoming atmosphere. Even the washrooms were extremely nice and well kept (wish I had taken a picture to show that)

If you’re craving real Lahori street food vibes in the US, this spot is a must visit. Generous portions, fresh ingredients, friendly staff, and flavors that hit home.“

“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! 😋“

“I tried the mix platter and it was 10/10. The flavor was incredible, easily one of the best I’ve had in years. The portions are huge, and the prices are very reasonable. There is plenty of seating, so it’s a comfortable place to sit and eat if you’re dining in. I’m glad I gave this spot a try and will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.“

“Halal Chicks never disappoints — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced every time.
The portions are generous, and the chicken and lamb are always on point.
Their sauces take everything to the next level — especially the white and spicy ones.
Fast service, good prices, great owner— easily my go-to spot for takeout, specially after the gym!!!💪“

You can tell the chefs put real care into selecting quality ingredients and preparing everything with precision. The textures and ingredients are all consistently excellent, making each plate memorable and satisfying. If you’re looking for a place where the food alone makes the visit worth it, this restaurant delivers on every level.“

“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 !“

“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.“

“Really proud of what the owner has accomplished with this cart. Lovely food and open late too. Mixed rice platter is always my go to here. The sauces are delicious. Falafel option for veggie friendly people is also pretty tasty. Their rotational soups are also fantastic. Overall always reliable great food.“

“Me and my family decide to have a late lunch here after seeing the advertisement and reviews on instagram. We loved the food! The atmosphere and service was amazing. Finally, we have a Mediterranean place close to home. You have to come try this place and by the way they have an outdoor in the back where you can have hookah for those who are interested.“

“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 😋“

“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. The chicken sandwich that my husband had to amazing! Coleslaw was delicious, plenty of sauce and pickles. Fries were excellent….definitely will go back.“

“Sadiya was amazing thankyou so much for the amzing service and delghtful food“

“Very nice and clean place to eat from and respectful service“

“Great food!! Extremely friendly, and accommodating staff! When we come back to the area we will definitely be going back here! Highly recommend!“

“Great service!
We both got chix shawerma platters which comes with 2 sides. Heads up, they come with side salad, and we chose tabbouleh as one of the sides. Had we known about the side salad it came with already, we would have chosen a different side. We mentioned this to the gentleman at the register and he offered us another side. We got tzatziki and baba ghanoush! Both were delicious!!

Kudos to staff for offering, this is true hospitality.

Thank you Omars restaurant for an amazing meal and experience!!“

“Great food and service ….“

“We’ve been obsessed with this place for the past couple months, the food is amazing I highly recommend it! The salito fries, cheesesteak and the mixed platters are my forever go to! If you’re ever close to this place please check it out!! ❤️“

“Great service I recently went because a friend recommended and was not disappointed I ordered the beef gyro sandwich very good would recommend.“

“Sooooooo glad they’ve an outpost in my backyard. Tastes like the one on 54th, without the long line in the cold. Seriously how is this place always near empty, must be a lot of pick up/uber orders. Usually come here instead of Starbucks neck door if I wanna do some light work out my apt. Staff are super nice.“

“I am a chicken girl and can completely without reservation recommend any and all chicken dishes and sandwiches on the menu. I have had them all over and over. Also the French fries and green salad. They are my go to usually twice a week.Believe the listed menu needs to be updated price wise but still the best deals in town. A HuGE plus you have the Richard Tucker (google him) Park right across the street for seating. Linda“

“Good ?“

“My favorite halal cart. Everytime I got Steinway I go there. The food is always fresh, chicken and lamb always flavorful and a lot of veggies included too. He offers me a falafel while I wait everytime. The falafels are great too! Very friendly, highly recommend.“

“Maged is the best! Love stopping here after getting off the train.“

“Finally some good halal in midtown east! I got the chicken over rice with extra white sauce, it was really hearty and delicious. The chickpeas are a nice touch. Very reasonably priced for the area ($9 as of 7/3/24) and they take Apple Pay which is convenient. Definitely adding this to my office lunch rotation!“

“Was a great experience.Food was delicious. The manager was very helpful and friendly. Let me taste the grilled chicken before I ordered so I knew the flavor. I'd Definitely return and Highly recommend. They also have a wide selection on the menu i ordered a bit much but the prices were definitely reasonable for each selection I made“

“I usually visit Dave’s Hot Chicken at 7th Ave Brooklyn.
This time we went so late that it was just 40 minutes left in closing and they had put all the tables and chairs away (means the dine in was closed already) but the girl at the counter was so nice that she not only allowed us to take the chairs and sit but also suggested us to rate them on app to get a free drink (everyone loves free stuff..right??)
The food and atmosphere is always always so good. We love to go there at least twice a month (as far from our place). Highly recommended especially if you are looking for some good halal food.“

“I highly recommend this food truck. My food delivery experience with Eat Real Halal was great. Ordering was simple and seamless. The food was very flavorful! I really enjoyed the mixed (lamb/chicken) over rice with white sauce. I’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“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“

“The kitchen creates dishes worth traveling for. They give you plenty to eat at prices that work. The dishes exceeded ordinary high quality. Shah’s Halal Food shows remarkable care toward customers. This spot should succeed in the long term.“

“OK, so a beef kebab isn't so photogenic, especially outdoors in the afternoon wind, but it did its job of keeping me sated through a long academic presentation at the nearby Italian Academy. Nice food truck selection for these college folks in Morningside.“

“The Boss Mike was so nice and welcoming, he really took care of us. The food was amazing he even gave us a sample of the kebab to try while we waited for our food which was incredible and he gave us a free drink overall 10/10 Will definitely come back“

“Every time we come to NYC, Kwik Meal is a must. The food is always warm and taste so good. We typically eat here every night. It’s a great price for the amount of food that you receive.“

“I luv it I would recommend Juicys💕💕💕“

“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.“

“Where do I even start man I remember taking a trip to new york and I was so hungry and someone recommended me shawarma bay and said it’s the best food in the area so i went and tried it and wow wow wow I got my self a bowl and another after because of how good it was 10/10 is not enough 😍“

“Phenomenal Falafel here! It looks like a regular halal food cart which are all over NYC, but make no mistake, this one is special. The falafel recipe at this place is so very good! Great friendly service too! Do yourself a favor and go get some today!!!“

“KC is the best! Wonderful experience from the moment we walked im to the moment we walked out.

Not only is the food superb (Chapli and Chips Platter), KC's service was top notch! Best in NYC 🎉

Thank you KC for making our night 💖“

“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“

“The flavors were rich, authentic, and truly satisfying—every bite was a delight. The portions were generous, and the quality of the ingredients was top-notch.

What really stood out was the warm and welcoming service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience, making me feel valued as a customer. The atmosphere was clean, cozy, and inviting—perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family.“

“Checked out Halal Muchies after so many people told me about it and they did not disappoint!!! Cooked perfectly, super tasty and great portions! I hope this place is around for a very long time!“

“Love that the protein has veggies rather than the protein just by itself. Def more flavorful and not as dry as you'll find it on other halal carts (where you may heavily rely on the white sauce to deal with the dryness). Nice guy too, and if you want more or less veg just let him know.“

“Got the Lanzhou Signature and the broth was sooo flavorful, noodle texture was perfectly chewy!! The beef was a lil dry but still really good. Also LOVED the lamb skewers, the seasoning and char was PERFECT!! Will be back to try more dishes!“

“Great food,clean organized. light everywhere.i love it.a little expensive but it's worth it because the personal treatment,and good vibes.will come back often,and secure,you see cops everywhere.because of the precint.try their chicken wings!!“

“Turkish coffee and baklava in this restaurant was unforgettable. The presentation was great. Friendly servers as well.“

“We went to River Edge branch on Friday night - the music and atmosphere are great.Restaurant is beautiful. They have very good singer/DJ, people were dancing till very late. Food is good too - we ordered lamb shish kebab, fried potatoes, stuffed mushrooms, samsa, some salads - everything was delicious. Highly recommended.“
