“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!“

“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.“

“The beautiful, intimate atmosphere and absolutely top notch comfort food would be worth it alone - BUT the service was also awesome. After we were graciously seated without a reservation (try to book ahead because you really won't want to miss this place), the staff was so kind, friendly, and attentive. Absolutely everything we had was wonderful but the knafeh actually brought a tear to my eye. ❤️ Absolutely would recommend 5 out of 5 stars.“

“Went here today, in absolute awe over how beautiful this restaurant is in the inside. Food was 10/10 and service was 10/10“

“Alkumah is an awesome hidden gem! The sandwiches are absolutely incredible, fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. I highly recommend the Kuftha sandwich spicy which is perfectly seasoned with just the right kick. Great spot for a quick bite or casual meal.“

“ATEHNTIC FOOD EXCELLENT QUALITY SITTING AREA IS GOOD“

“Best restaurant in NJ. Always fresh tasty and delicious food. A must try!“

“A very nice place to check out if you’re into mediterranean cuisine! Excellent vegetarian options and delicious food. But if you’re someone who enjoys good service like me then this is not the place. after being sat down for 15 mins the server gave the menu. After reminding 3 times, we finally got water which was bottled and we were not told about I assumed they would bring tap water and on top of that they will randomly put 15% or 18% tip irrespective of party size. Waiting for menu for 15 mins and then waiting for water not sure what kind of service one is getting and to top it off getting the drinks ordered post meal! Again if you’re a foody then this a good place to try but not for the service.“

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

“Good Luck � My Friend“

“I would have given a "5" rating for atmosphere if not for flies outside around our food. I also don't like the hookah smoking. Other than that, the service and the food were Perfect!!!“

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!“

“Always a hit. Service is great“

“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!“

“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“

“I ate good. They park at a nice spot for walking traffic. Looks like good people and rating reflects their quality. Salchipapas went so flipping hard.Hello again, I tried the chicken parm wrap and the chicken+marinara melted in my mouth. The chicken was delicious and hot. Gonna try and eat everything there over time (except spicy food )Also the snicker bar was 25 cents cheaper than the lame rutger vending machines, but 25 cents more pricier than njit vending machine ?. It was $2.“

“I came one evening to grab a takeaway before catching my flight. There was only one person handling lots of orders, but despite the wait, they were super kind, apologized, and even offered me a little something for the delay.
That’s top-notch service!
The food was amazing. I had the rice bowl with chicken shawarma and hummus. Totally recommend!“

“Truly the best falafel — I’ve been supporting this spot since I was a child and they were a cart in front of the C-Town on Broadway (RIP). Since their spot opened, I regularly pickup or dine in with loved ones. The hot sauce is deliciously spicy, the chicken is always grilled to perfection, the rice pudding is a perfect end to the meal, and the salad+hummus combo is my absolute favorite. Also, as someone with Celiac Disease, it’s been great to have this reliably gluten free delight in my neighborhood. It’s such a wonderful place and I’m so grateful they exist, what a journey it’s been over the years! I also genuinely love the political decor in the restaurant, free Falastin forever and always 🫶🏽🙌🏽“

“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 . . .“

“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“

“As a newbie creating my own shwarma meal, I appreciated the countermans help and recommendation. Excellent meal! Tasty, filling. I’m so happy I went!“

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

“Wow. It was so good. Everything about it was good. The service (Marin was amazing), the food was delicious, healthy and very big portions…. And just pleasant great experience. My boyfriend says he’s coming back every week after this, his new favorite place.

Vegetarian options: There are lots , grilled vegetables, hummus, eggplant, salads.“

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

“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!!“

“Do not refer to the five stars. They do not reflect my opinion. I just wanted to say that perhaps a short explanation should be added somewhere that the hummus is intended for the palate of Columbia University students so that Israeli clients do not develop expectations.“

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

“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.“

“Picked up a couple of lunches in Penn Station ,and was served by a very helpful lady! She was kind, patient and made good suggestions on what to buy. In addition after purchase, I left my phone on the counter and when I returned she happily called my number where it rang and located. So grateful there are still people like this left!! Best to you!“

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