Middle Eastern Restaurants near Hasbrouck Heights, NJ

“Best food! Great people!!!“

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

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

“We loved the food! We loved everything, and we loved the food! We brought our mum who complains about all the food, and she loved the food - the chicken kebab with lentil puree, lamb pitza, pita, muhammara, ouzi, baklava :) We’ll be back!“

“The sharing plate with hummus, muhammara, tzatziki, and naan was a great start—creamy, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. The kofta meatballs were juicy and well-seasoned.

The chicken shawarma was tasty, but it tasted more like a chicken curry than traditional shawarma. The steak was cooked nicely and had good flavor. Overall, a satisfying meal with a nice variety of dishes!

Pistachio baklava was super delicious!! The watermelon zero cocktail was good.“

“Great, i love this place.“

“Really enjoyed the food at Gigi Halal Food! The falafel over rice was fresh, flavorful, and filling, and the burger was juicy and delicious. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and the service was great too. Definitely a good spot for tasty halal food. Would happily come back again!“

“Good food, very interesting and pretty unique or original Mediterranean dishes. I enjoyed everything I tried, however, nothing left me excited to try more. It's quite pricey. The ambiance is really nice, but the tables are too close together and it can get loud.“

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

“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.“

“Very good falafel. Quite pricey. Nice and fast service.“

“Delicious Authentic Middle Eastern falafel and shawarma. It's a place that focuses on just that, but does it really well. Every element of the 'sandwich' is made to perfection! The pita is fresh and warm, the shawarma is cooked perfectly on the rotisserie, and each topping is delicious- the humus, tehina, amba, onions... plus ... served with a smile! Open late too!“

“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.“

“10/10 Food and Ambience 😍“

“Absolutely amazing experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The food was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried exceeded expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcomed from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was spotless, and you can really tell they take pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. Service was fast and efficient without ever feeling rushed, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. And the prices were very reasonable for the quality you receive—great value all around. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!“

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

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

“I’d never had falafel before trying it here, and I didn’t realize how amazing it could be until I had it at another restaurant. Ever since then, every time I come back, it never disappoints. I’d highly recommend trying it if you’re in NYC!“

“Amazing place! Owner, food and service wow!!!“

“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.“

“The food was easily the best Arab food I’ve had. Ever. The owners were super nice and actually invited us to sit instead of take out, and we got complimentary toum (also best toum I’ve ever had), peppers, pickles, and some sort of Arab bread. The bread was nice and crackly and there was a LOT of it. The toum, unlike other Arab places with toum, was actually light and had that whipped texture that is desired. The garlic flavor was on point and not too overpowering. The star of the show was easily the crispy chicken shawarma, though. It looks small in some videos, but it was wider than my mouth. I had to do some talking to find out myself, but to get the fries, toum, and pickles next to the shawarma, you need to ask for the crispy chicken shawarma combo. It was super crispy, and the breading was very nicely toasted. I kept finding myself layering the top with some pickles, fries, and more toum. They also drizzled some pomegranate molasses on the chicken shawarma, which gave it a tangy but also fruity aftertaste. We also ordered the charcoal chicken and kebab. The kebab, instead of normal beef on a stick, actually came with some yellow rice and some REALLY GOOD spicy seasoned bread that was very soft and moist on some parts and crispy on the others. You could literally see the spice particles on it. The charcoal chicken was juicy, tender, and had that charcoal roasted flavoring. It even came with a bunch of complimentary fries. The fries on both the shawarma and the charcoal chicken was nicely battered, and the shawarma fries were very well seasoned. The only thing is that the bathroom is through a door that leads upstairs, and you have to open two doors. If you’re someone like me and don’t like the feeling of putting grip on things with sticky stuff on your hands, you won’t like that. It’s one of those turn knobs. Finally, the music made me feel like I was actually back in Abu Dhabi watching fire shows while eating falafel. Please visit, they are amazing people who make amazing food!“

“ATEHNTIC FOOD EXCELLENT QUALITY SITTING AREA IS GOOD“

“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!!!“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“Excellent food and awesome service. Great place to spend an evening outside. And the people watching...“

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

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

“I like this place a lot. The food tastes fresh and homemade (not too much salt), and the portions are very generous (a lot of protein, they don't overload you on rice). The lentil soup is delicious. The pita bread could be a little fresher but I don't end up eating very much of it. Very nice staff! A very cute but tiny eat-in area if you'd like to sit down. Definitely pick this place over Mamoun's.“

“We love this place. The food is superlative, the staff are attentive, cant think of anywhere netter for milescaround.“

“One of the best Palestinian food around 10 stars“

“Had such a great experience,
The waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful, which made us feel so welcomed. The food was outstanding everything tasted fresh, high quality, and absolutely delicious. You can really tell they care about both the service and the food. Definitely a great spot will come back.“

“Good Luck � My Friend“

“The mussels in red sauce amazing 😻“

“Absolutely amazing food and magi drink is yummmmmy!“

“I had a really good experience here- service was impeccable, we got seated immediately and served immediately. The issue was we got the vip hookahs, they did not pull well and their flavor was weak. I’m an avid hookah smoker and the overall quality was bad, I would really encourage the establishment to refine the vip hookahs“

“it’s a treat to eat at Miznon. Great food! Wonderful service and a fun atmosphere too!“

“Always a hit. Service is great“

“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.“

“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.“

“Stopped in for lunch during a conference nearby. The falafel appetizer was filling, tasty, and with just a bit of heat. And the proprieter was delightfully friendly, throwing in a bit of hummus and a pita. A dessert of baklava was sweet without being sickly or cloying or too wet. And the price with a soft drink was less than $12, which is a real bargain. I'll be back again if I'm in the area.“

“very outstanding service also great food 🍱“

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

“My favorite spot in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. Made with love. Absolutely delicious food, and everything tastes as if it’s homemade. I truly appreciate the staff too — everyone is always very welcoming. Thank you for all that you do, Dar 525!“

“The kunafe is so good with the ice cream on top of the kunafe you should try it especially with Zubeyir 5 star service“

Service is attentive, and the overall vibe makes it great for a casual night out or a relaxed dinner with friends. A solid, feel-good spot worth checking out.“
