Middle Eastern Restaurants near Hasbrouck Heights, NJ

“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!“

“My new favorite restaurant!!! The food is amazing.“

“Fantabulous Ambience. Lively and lovely staff. Great food. Loved everything.“

“I have visited the Allentown location several times. The food is always great, but what’s even better is the feeling of warmth the staff and owners emit. Everyone has always been so incredibly kind and attentive. Excellent food and service!“

“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.“

“The staff are really warm and friendly and the food was absolutely delicious! I love their lemonade and the desserts do not disappoint! Celebrated my daughter and my Birthday and the staff made our day with surprise treats. Brought me to tears! Thank you to everyone at The Olive Bistro!“

“The meal was great and we had fun throughout our visit. The staff creates a welcoming atmosphere. Fresh ingredients make both the flavor and appearance stand out. I've uncovered a true dining gem!!! Without doubt, I'm visiting again.“

“Well, we visited as part of a food tour of NY. Being quite frank, if we had been by ourselves we might well have walked right past Mamoun's; it doesn't have the greatest frontage, and some might be put off.
But oh, my! Get in there and have yourself the best falafel around. We've travelled to many parts of north Africa and the Middle East and I can honestly say that this is the best falafel we have had - especially with that brutally gorgeous hot sauce (two bottles purchased to take back to the UK).
Definite revisit required!“

“My whole family comes to this wonderful restaurant and always orders food from here. The food is DELICIOUS!! The prices are also great and worth it. Anytime we have any modifications, they always make sure it’s to our liking. Both gentlemen working here are so kind and hardworking. Will always come here and recommend to everyone! 10 STARS!!!!“

“Absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait to return!“

“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.“

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

“My partner and I came in for dinner and he said it reminded him exactly of his Persian grandmother’s cooking. We tried both the fried Kubeh and the Kubeh soups which were incredible. Service was very friendly and the restaurant space is beautiful. We will be back the next time we are in the city for sure!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“ATEHNTIC FOOD EXCELLENT QUALITY SITTING AREA IS GOOD“

“Outstanding Middle Eastern food and great service even on a busy Saturday night in June, such a great vibe 🎉“

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

“The food was definitely good: good portion sizes (for NYC), we especially liked the hummus and other sauces which felt authentic. Wide variety of items in the platter. Decent prices for NYC.

My only gripe is that this is a counter top takeout place and the payment system asks for 15/20/25% tip and dude was watching me as I tapped the buttons on the screen, so I felt pressured to tip for no service before even getting my food. Not unique to this place but that’s the only reason I’m not hustling back.“

“Always a hit. Service is great“

“Delicious , great service“

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

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

“Good Luck � My Friend“

“🔝 Notch middle eastern cuisine, Hands down the best, Highly Recommended“

“Melissa and James create soul food with modern twist -- with big flavors! I visited P&C multiple times already, with family, friends and work colleagues and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to eat modern American with a lot of love. 🍷🍸🍹Their cocktails are equally amazing and delicious, they also have a fantastic wine selection and their freshly baked Pita is a MUST! Please do go and visit P&C to also support the local restaurant community -- they deserve it! 🥰🍾🥙“

“Had the tasty falafel waffle and fava bean salad for lunch. Great vegetarian options plus a beautiful atmosphere and friendly service. Look forward to returning.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“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!“

“the appetizers were stunning, great service and great atmosphere, friendly and professional waiters“

“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“

“-Casual Palestinian Spot-
Halloumi wrap is so rich and delicious. Menus are crowd pleasers variety mixed ranging from burgers to falafel to wraps to hummus to vegan dishes. I will have to return to try something else. Ambience is laid back filled with folk arts, political posters and messages.

“The best!!! Makes your tastebuds dance 😋“

“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.“

“Tasty fast and most conviniant place to have your order on your hands just after few seconds :$)“

“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.“

“Sooo delicious!!! Wonderful staff. Great owners!!“

“We had the pleasure of dining in your restaurant last week, We instantly loved the mediterranean style atmosphere of your place. We had the best server we could have asked for named, Martina, she was friendly and had a great sense of humor, Her menu knowledge was excellent, She recommended the Duck and Short Ribs, which were excellent. Full of flavor. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience with great food and nice, friendly staff. Lloyd Hartford“

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

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

“I visited Ravagh Restaurant in NYC yesterday, a place I have been to multiple times before. The food is consistently very good, the vibes are pleasant, and the service is decent overall.\n\nI ordered the sultani kabab this time, and the beef was outstanding. The flavors and tenderness really stood out and made the dish memorable.\n\nTheir service could use some improvement, and while the food is enjoyable, it is not fully traditional Iranian cuisine. They include several Middle Eastern dishes that are not part of Persian culinary customs, which seems to be a choice to cater to their regular customers, many of whom are Arab.\n\nOverall, it remains a solid spot with delicious food, and I give it 4 out of 5.“

“The schnitzel Sandwich was extremely delicious“

“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 . . .“
