Halal Restaurants near Hoboken, NJ

“5/5
Food, taste, prices, portions. Everything is 5+stars.
We ordered Philly cheese steak, chicken burger w/ fries and chicken & lamb on rice and it all tasted so delicious and cooked to the right temperature and so fresh.
So glad that our vacation in NJ included eating at this yummy food cart.“

“Best food truck in JC, clean and generous staff .“

“The staff accommodated a large order for us during the busy time on a Saturday night and everyone was super happy with everything. All 35+ of us enjoyed the platters and sandwiches...and the WINGS are a hidden gem! Highly recommended and I will be a return customer.“

“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.“

“The best chicken Hyderabad biryani I’ve ever had.

It perfectly balances rich spices, tender chicken, and fragrant basmati rice cooked in the traditional dum style.

Great portion, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere make this a must visit for biryani lovers.

Highly recommended!“

“I discovered this restaurant and it's amazing,the food was incredible,and I'm so happy that my fellow countrymen opened this place.It's wonderful to see their hard work and Kyrgyz traditions and our food being celebrated“

“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.“

“I got the chicken over rice. Solid quality chicken.

Whoever was running the cart looked pretty tired in the heat :(. Nonetheless, he was still very attentive and kind!

Very quick. Will be back! Thanks so much!“

“I grew up in NYC so I’m no stranger to halal carts. Since I’ve moved to JC (which I know is only across the river, but the food scene really is different), I have yet to find my go-to halal spot… until now! I paid $10 for a chicken over rice. The chicken was so juicy and they were very generous with the chicken and sauce. So delicious but also so dangerous that I’m so close by“

“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.“

“Let me emphasize this, NOBODY and I do mean NOBODY, makes a delicious bowl the way Tacobees do. I live far and order with extra charges through Ubereats because it’s just that good and worth every penny. I get burritos the size of a tiny baby. I should know because I’ve had tiny humans before and those burritos are at least 2lbs or more lol.

The way the burritos and bowls are made, is just so good. They don’t skimp out on anything. It’ll be full to the absolute brim. Their queso and guac is hands down the best out of all other chains (Chipotle, Moe’s and Qdoba.) The steak and honey chicken is just chefs kiss. I love how my delivery is also always warm and the most important part, correct. They just get me and can take my check any weekend!“

“Believe the rating - this place is the best Indian food in the city. The first time I went here, I sat next to an older Indian woman who boldly proclaimed the lamb curry was the best she’d ever had in her life. She was right - the meet is so tender and the curry is perfectly balanced. Even the naan - it’s textural and flavor perfection. Come here, be happy“

“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!!!💪“

“Read the reviews and thought I would give it a try after I got off my flight, starving. It was everything the reviews said it was. Super well run To-Go orders. Food was flying out of that kitchen and they have a smooth running operation that produces delicious Caribbean Jerk Chicken with amazing sauces.“

“The food was amazing, I ordered the falafel sandwich which was $8 and the chicken over rice which was also $8. Both were well made and the portions were generous. This is a bang for your buck considering how expensive meals are in this area. They even have a green sauce available that they make themselves.

Kazi himself despite a bit of a language barrier is an awesome person to speak to, he is generous in terms of helping his clients out both in pricing and with his sympathy. The service is awesome and overall I would recommend this halal cart/food to anyone out there!“

“I made a big mistake. The portions were huge. Definitely intended for groups. My only feedback is that the salt was lacking. They do provide salt and pepper at each table but the salt kept getting clumped up from the steam of the fresh and delicious plates of food.“

“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.“

“great food and great prices“

“I have tried lamb over rice. My expectation was more over the taste of lamb. I think they should try more to make it a tasty one. French fries were ok. Salad was nothing special. Overall they should try more to make it something better than their competitors.“

“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.“

“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.“

“They have some frickin good lagman noodles! So delicious. Best laghman I've had and I'm married to a central Asian. We tried both types. Staff was nice and answered all my questions. Noodles were a perfect thickness and texture all around. Portions are big. Decor is super cute too I love the gourds!“

“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 !“

“I love this place!!!! Ever since the first time I entered this establishment I fell in love!! Their aesthetic is so comforting 🥰 Mohammed is very sweet and very attentive, he always greets me and my friends every time we come.The food is always top tier, the owner is also very welcoming. You can tell he cares about his business! 10/10! I recommend everyone here, good food & amazing people ❤️ THE HUMMUS IS DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! FRESH PITA 😛“

“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 😋“

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

“Food is great and service is always amazing!“

“stumbled upon this food truck at 95 Wall Street, and it was such a pleasant surprise! The service was quick and super friendly, which is perfect for the busy Wall Street crowd. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot—I could tell they really care about quality. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the generous portions. The menu had a great variety, so whether you’re in the mood for something light or hearty, you’ll find it here. Definitely one of the best lunch spots in the area. I’ll be coming back often!“

“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.“

“First time visiting and have to say their chicken was great.

The place itself was no frills with limited seating so good for takeaways.

We ordered ahead so service was quick and staff were friendly.

Would recommend if you're in the area!“

“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.“

“I ordered takeout from Kulchay recently and had a positive experience. The woman working there was incredibly friendly and helpful while I waited. I tried their signature naanizza which is a fusion of naan and pizza. Both the chicken tikka and super supreme naanizzas were delicious. Even though I got stuck in traffic and had to reheat them at home, they still tasted great although I imagine they would be even better fresh out of the oven. I also tried the halwa naan for dessert which was decent but not something I would order again. All the food here is halal and I definitely plan to come back to try more items from their menu.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“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.“

“BEST WINGS IN NYC !!!!

I got the buffalo hot & told ack to mix it with the Thai chili sauce, GAHTTTTTTT, MASHAALLAH !!!! They were the best wings I’ve ever tried, I can’t even lie. Crispy, tender, flavorful, they surprised me. Wife got the lamb platter & said it’s the best she’s had. They really do cook back there with love & effort. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!“

“I had an incredible experience at this amazing restaurant—the Yemeni chicken haneeth was tender, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. My friend ordered tuna with vegetables and it was fresh and cooked to perfection, while my other friend had the salmon steak which was rich, juicy, and beautifully presented. Service was attentive and warm, enhancing the whole dining experience.

Many thanks to the best team ever and the best restaurant ever in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
Many thanks for the welcome tea☕

“Highest quality halal food cart in the city! The owner always treats me right. The chicken over rice is amazing and the spicy/brown rice is the BEST in NYC.“

“I am glad I picked this place to have lunch with family. Best Uzbek food I tried so far. Tashkent plow tasted so good. They offer meat and pumpkin samsa. They have nice dessert options. We tried napoleon cake, Uzbek baklava, medovik came(Russian honey cake) They were delicious. Green tea is good to try. Parking is on street. Staff were great. Clean and neat restaurant.“

“Hot food platters, shawarmas and burgers, and a cafe all in one. Plenty of options in a small restaurant. The spicy jerk chicken is an excellent dish. The chicken shawarma and cheeseburger is solid as well. My friends enjoyed their coffee and iced matcha drinks. Staff here are very friendly. Food is halal“

“Halal munchies 😍
Every bite reflects freshness, rich flavor, and authentic halal taste.

🍗 Chicken Over Rice — Easily one of the best in town! The rice is perfectly cooked, the chicken juicy and well-seasoned, and when topped with their signature white and hot sauces — it’s absolutely mouthwatering. The portion size is generous and totally worth the price.

🍔 Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich — A true favorite! The beef is tender, the melted cheese blends perfectly, and the bread is soft yet nicely toasted. It’s flavorful, filling, and incredibly satisfying.

🍟 Cheez Fries — Golden, crispy fries with melted cheese on top — simple comfort food done right.

🥗 Falafel Salad Platter — Perfect for a light and healthy meal. The falafels are crisp on the outside and soft inside, paired with fresh veggies and dressing that complements every bite.

🍰 Snickers Cheesecake — The ultimate sweet treat! Creamy, rich, and loaded with chunks of Snickers — the perfect way to end your meal.

✨ The service is fast, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the food quality is consistently excellent.

⭐ Overall Rating: 9.5/10
✅ Must-try dishes: Chicken Over Rice, Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, and Snickers Cheesecake.
✅ Perfect for: Lunch breaks, family dinners, or a quick late-night bite.“

“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.“

“Such an underrated Halal food cart right at the heart of Wall Street Financial District. Rather than going out of your way to a fancy Middle Eastern/Mediterranean restaurant, I highly recommend stopping by the Continental Express Halal Guys.

This is your no-nonsense New York staple, the Halal street food, and they do it very well here.

I got the Combination Over Rice, which consists of lamb gyros and chicken over rice and slathered with that delicious, signature white sauce plus a generous dash of spicy red sauce to boot.

So how does it taste? Like a gushing waterfall of yummy, earthy flavor and spices in every bite! It may look like a relatively small box, but it's dense in taste.

And on top of that, this is only $7.00 cash or $7.95 with card! You get so much for your money and you leave with a full, satisfied stomach.

Finally, the guys working there are warm and friendly, too.“

“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“

“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.“

“I would like to sincerely thank you for the food services provided to us. The meals were very delicious, fresh, and greatly appreciated by all of us. Your support and kindness mean a lot, and we are truly grateful for the effort and care you put into preparing and serving the food.“

“I get this place at least once a week. The platters are such a good size and the pita that comes with it is insanely delicious and fresh with some flour on it still. It’s definitely more of a take-out vibe, but the employees are very kind even when you wait for your pickup order. Totally recommend!!! May feel pricey at first but once you see everything you get with the food then you will understand why!!!!!“

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

“It’s best to eat from kazi food it’s great taste ? and best price . And very quick quality service and very clean and reliable halal food in that side . I love ❤️ to eat again and they are very friendly and give lots of food

Vegetarian options: It’s up to everyone what they want it

Dietary restrictions: It’s depends on each person how they want it

Parking: All is great if you need take out no need much time they are very fast

Kid-friendliness: They make you feel happy because they know how to make customers feel good with to much food and one person eat very well and feel full

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it’s nice for wheelchair accessible“

“I've been eating New York City halal cart food since 1998 when my wife worked on the corner of 53rd and 6th Avenue. I would grab a mixed platter from Halal Guys while I waited for her.

Then I became a fan of Adel's a little further down the street on 49th and 6th.

My new favorite is this cart in Williamsburg. Service is friendly and fun and most importantly, the platters are tasty, cooked to order, and priced at pre-Biden prices!

In all seriousness, this place is legit so try it out.“

“After seeing reviews on vlogs on our 1st night we decided we'd try the famous Adels Halal Cart and it didn't disappoint. I had meat combo over spicy rice and my wife had meat combo over normal rice and for $10 each you really can't go wrong. Big portions that tasted delicious. Would definitely recommend. Queue was long but goes down quick enough and the food is worth queuing for.“
