Middle Eastern Restaurants near Hoboken, NJ

“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.“

“I live across the street and this is my daily deli and grocery store. The five star is based on the following facts:1. It has a wide variety of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including sandwiches, omelette, salad and etc. The price is very reasonable.2. Very convenient for daily grocery, including fresh veg and coffee.3. Always friendly. For a couple of times when I was at work, I have package requiring signature. I ask little market to receive it for me. They gladly did it free of charge.“

“Love this place! Right on Spring St. close to the subway. Great spot to grab a cup of a delicious drink before walking and shopping.

The atmosphere was bright and welcoming. Beautiful decor and design.

Staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions I had.

I tried the coconut matcha and my wife had a latte. We both loved them!

10/10 recommend.“

“Purely giving it 5/5 stars for their matcha. Only place in Hoboken that whisks their matcha fresh per drink which contributes to the flavor profile of the matcha. This is REAL matcha. Other cafes use powder matcha mixed with sugar, premade/big batchs (more oxidized and sediment build up) etc. Also their flavored matchas are made really well, can make various sweetener/dairy customizations to matcha as well.“

“The best food ever! Mamoun’s in Hoboken never disappoints! Their falafel is perfectly crispy, the shawarma is packed with flavor, and the hummus is always fresh and creamy. The portions are HUGE, the prices are great, and the service is fast and friendly. Whether it’s a quick bite or a late-night snack, this spot is a must-visit!“

“One of the best Palestinian food around 10 stars“

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

“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!“

“Don’t let the racist comments deter you from having some of the best food of your life! Will eat here every time I’m in town!“

“Everyone with a good heart and conscious is welcome here.

Al Aqsa is well-deservedly famous for their shawarma. It's crispy, salty, and filling. Of equal stature is their falafel. Not to mention, they offer freshly baked Palestinian bread loaves and ka'ak for people looking to bring fresh Palestinian baked goods home.

Ambience is inspiring as it speaks for social justice in Palestine. Service is beautiful; it's a treat to have the owner around as he takes good care of customers. Please come check out Al Aqsa when you're in Brooklyn“

“If you're looking for the best Koobideh kebab in New Jersey and New York, Zaffron Bloom is the place to go. Every time I visit, I'm amazed by the deliciousness of the food, especially their Tahdig. The Olivieh salad and Spanish yogurt are also quite tasty. Since it's a family-run business, the owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. I love this place and highly recommend their kebabs!??“

“I visited New York for 6 days from the state of Texas and ended up having two meals at this location because the food was just that good. In a city where you have to be the best to survive, we chose to eat here for two meals! The flavors and consistency of quality and service were great. Can't say enough good things about this place! Keep up the good work gentlemen!“

“The best falafel in New York, hands down. Everything from the hummus and pita, to the pickles and the meat platters is made with so much care, love and authenticity. The best middle eastern food we've ever had and we make a (pita) point to come back regularly. Eddie, the owner, is also the nicest guy who loves making delicious food for his customers. This place is a gem of a find“

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

“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.“

“Ordered the Manhattan signature sandwich. Although it wasn’t my all-time fave falafel, it was still very very good! The pita got a bit soggy in transit, so it fell apart slightly upon eating it. Disappointed they didn’t sell fries despite having it listed on their website’s menu. Small, dimly light interior with limited, covered outdoor seating. Accepted credit card (although there’s a 4% discount for cash purchases).“

“We ordered for the first time tonight from Sammy, former proprietor of JuJu’s Bagels now transformed into El Toum. We ordered 4 items and they were ready for pickup in less than 25 minutes. The Mixed Kebab platter, Kofta Burger with fries, Falafel Sandwich with extra tahini sauce, and El Toum Appetizer were refreshingly homemade, tasted delicious, and proved outstanding bangs for the buck. More than enough food for a family of four with leftovers. This is a very welcome addition to a neighborhood missing this kind of fare. I highly recommend supporting this local business. Some of the best falafel and tabouli I’ve tasted in quite some time too!“

“אוכל זה לא הצד החזק של ניו יורק. נקודה! (גם קפה) גילינו ששף ישראלי פתח מסעדה, אלי בוסקילה שמו. נסענו לוויליאמסבורג לבדוק. המסעדה נקראת ״המסיבה״ ואכן היתה שם מסיבה גדולה. מקום מקסים, מעוצב בצורה מדהימה, רמת שירות גבוהה שלא רואים בכל מקום, כל כל הרבה עובדים מקצועיים ומסבירי פנים. והעיקר, האוכל, למות!!!! כל מנה מיוחדת וטעימה. מהחמוצים ועד המנה העיקרית. זיהיתי מיד סממנים בלקניים וטעמים שהזכירו לי את המטבח של סבתא ויקטוריה ז״ל. זכינו להכיר את השף, להרים איתו כוסית ואף התבקשנו לנסות קינוח חדש ולתת פידבק. הקינוח המושלם היה טעים ומבשר את בוא האביב. מומלץ בחום. ובהצלחה לאלי המקסים.“

“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.“

“Been to Levant a couple of times now and I feel i’m ready to share my experience. First time I ordered a sausage feteer to go. It was still perfectly crispy when I got it home. I like the square bottom bag and the octagonal box the feteer comes in. Today, I was in the mood for a wrap. I ordered the beef shawarma. They toasted the wrap - nice and hot on a giant panini press. It was so juicy I didn’t need the special Levant sauce. Then I thought let me dig the wrap in the sauce and wow. Tasted even better. Will be back to sample their meat pies next!“

“Happily surprised with how delicious this food was!!! I’m still dreaming of the baby lamb sandwich. The pita bread was soft, fresh and not too thick. First time trying a sea food pizza and it was heavenly and flavorful.

100% recommend. Very friendly service. The mint tea and baklawa were the perfect treat and amuse-Bouche to the meal.

Reasonable prices for quality. Variety of traditional middle eastern appetizers and comfort dishes.

Vegetarian options: Most of the appetizer vegetarian with main dishes that include falafel and eggplant.“

“The food was so delicious and the ingredients tasted super fresh and of high quality. The staff was very nice and helped us choose - since we wanted everything on the menu. The place has a beautiful warm cozy but clean design, and we could feel the nice warmth of the big tabun oven from our table.

I would recommend and come back! The frena bread and hummus are obviously a must!“

“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.“

“Kubeh did an AMAZING job with a recent big catered meal at our home. Food, service, warmth, kindness, etc all A+++. Everyone loved every bite. We've also had a great time and loved the meal every time we've eaten at the restaurant. One of our NYC faves!“

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

“A beautiful and clean place that has everything you need, including halal food and sweets“

“I came to Holy Pita and ordered the chicken shawarma, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was juicy, perfectly spiced, and wrapped in fresh pita with all the right toppings. Every bite was full of flavor.

The staff was warm and welcoming, and the service was fast. The restaurant itself is clean and has a great, casual vibe.

If you’re in the mood for authentic Mediterranean food, this is the spot. The chicken shawarma alone is worth the trip!“

“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.“

“My girlfriend and I stopped by Fire Kabob and WOW! This place is great! Clean dining area and SUPER friendly staff. We ordered 2 plates, chicken and Lamb and then a side of eggplant burani. The food is fresh and delicious! The rice and homemade sauces are excellent. It also came with a side of bread and salad. Can't wait to try out all their other items, we will definitely be back. I would post pics but we scarfed down every bit of it. It's a must try! Chicken and Lamb - Tender and cooked perfect. Eggplant Burani - a must try, unlike anything I have ever tried. Rice - seasoned perfect and you get a lot of it. Def try the sauces that come with it.“

“Great service, friendly staff AMAZING food.“

“Absolutely amazing food!. Best Spinach pies I've ever had.“

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

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

“Good Luck � My Friend“

“Delicious , great service“

“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! 🥰🍾🥙“

“Favorite Middle Eastern restaurant in Brooklyn in such a central location. Their food is amazing and so delicious but their baba ganoush? Hands down, my FAVORITE item on their menu. I have not found another baba ganoush that comes close to how delicious their's is. The servers are so generous and refills the pita (which comes out hot and fresh). In a time where restaurant prices are astronomical, Bedouin Tent somehow keeps their prices relatively low for the quality of their food. I've come several times already and look forward to coming back“

“Love this spot. A staple of the local neighborhood. The entrees were perfect and nicely seasoned. Hummus was delicious. Shish kabob, skirt steak, baby chicken were all very juicy. Shnitzel super crunchy. Intimate atmosphere and excellent service.“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

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

“Went with a fairly large group and gad the best experience ever! The food was EXQUISITE, the lamb from the lamb kebab was so tender. Tried kanafa for the first time and was amazed at how sweet and savory it was, my mind was blown away! Definitely will be coming here many times.“

“I love it nice food friendly ppl thank you“

“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!“

“One of my favorite lunch places. Fresh, healthy, and delicious.“

“Delicious food, nice atmosphere and excellent service. Love Oasis ❤️“

“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“
