“My brother and I came here and both got the beef shawarma. It's hard to find good middle eastern food in NJ but their shawarma was the best i've had since leaving Lebanon. The owners were so kind and the whole place really had such a nice ambiance. Definitely give this a place a try.“
“DERVISH TURKISH FOOD in CEDAR GROVE NJ .THE RAIN WAS COMING DOWN the place was packed Wife and I got seated immediately.The food speaks VOLUMES pure AUTHENTIC TURKISH ORIGIN.will be visiting again to do official TIK TOK AND YOUTUBE VIDEO .GREAT FOOD GREAT SERVICEYOU ROCK DERVISH“
“Ok- this was heaven! I was just walking down Bloomfield ave and walked into this cute place . I had the falafel pita- it was sooo good I had two!!! The food is amazing and the people and owner are friendly. Recommend it to everyone and I will be back! Made my day! Thank you!“
“So delicious, tasty and flavorful foods. Warm and welcoming environment! The sit down experience is very nice and I like that they offer sparkling water to drink instead of bottled water or tap! Service is very attentive to your needs and they make sure you get refills on your drinks. Can't wait to go back again!“
“My family and I stopped by for dinner this evening and were left feeling very impressed. All the ingredients were very fresh and thr food was very tasty. Mohammed was also very friendly and respectful towards everyone. I would recommend this restaurant to all those who love Middle Eastern food - there are plenty of options for vegans/vegetarians too.“
“Absolutely outstanding! I recently visited Pidde Lahmajun and was blown away by both the flavor and service. Tunç and the entire team truly know how to make a customer feel special. Every bite of the Lahmajun was a delightful journey of taste, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The ambiance was welcoming, and the staff, especially Tunç and his friends, were incredibly attentive and friendly. It's rare to find a place that excels in both food quality and customer service, but Pidde Lahmajun does just that. A solid 10/10 experience. Highly recommend!“
“These guys are a lost or unknown gem on the island. So many options food wise. On top of that any additions salad wise, everything you want. Legit white and hot sauce top it off. Green is you want it too. Hands down best option for Halal CnR/Lamb/Seekh Kabab on SI. You got a returning customer all day. Catch you soon..“
“We held my wife’s baby shower at this restaurant, and we have ordered from here on multiple occasions. First, the food is phenomenal. From the chicken kebab to the falafel, all of the food is fresh, and seasoned and cooked to perfection.Nora and her team essentially treat the entire restaurant, including patrons, as family. They welcome you with warmth and will work with you to do anything your heart desires, within reason. You will feel so close to Nora from the start that you will likely give her a hug before you leave.The baby shower was a complete success- the restaurant is beautiful without being too much of a spectacle- and even has a tuned piano, which allowed us to have live background music for the event.My wife had a wonderful day, and it was made possible by Nora and all of the great staff at The Bosphorus!Dietary restrictions: Vegan and GF friendlyKid-friendliness: We had 5 kids at the event so they made them chicken fingers and fries to be safe!Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, double door- we had someone in a wide wheelchair. They even walked with the person in the wheelchair holding an umbrella for her!“
“Love it! So close to home, not too pricy and the food is great! I love that they cut their salad into tiny bite sized pieces and the meat as well is cut tiny which I love! They give decent portion sizes also! Will definitely be ordering again ! Service is quick and the little lady upfront makes sure everything is in the bag before giving it to u! Love it“
“My partner and I shared a variety of appetizers that were all homemade, fresh and delicious. The baba ghanoush and foul were some of the best we’ve ever had. We tried molokhia for the first time - pleasantly surprised! Bright and lovely color and flavor. Everything tasted healthy and carefully prepared. Will definitely be back.“
“One of the best Moroccan restaurants in the area. The Chicken Tagine and the Lamb Tagine was excellent and you can enjoy their delicious saffron rice all by itself. The portion sizes are quite hearty and good to share for two people. Get a reservation beforehand if you plan to visit on holidays or the weekend.“
“First time trying this spot and I was satisfied. Usually all the good halal joints are in Brooklyn or queens but this was fairly close and the prices are reasonable. There’s also a load of options so I went in hungry and was so indecisive ? food was fresh and delicious, I will definitely be making this my go to spot. Also reminded me of the halal food spots in uk, had a similar ambiance ?Parking: Easy to find parking“

“This is the nicest quick serve I’ve ever eaten at. We tried the roast chicken and got it at the mild level of spiciness. They have 7 or 8 levels. The chicken was tender and well seasoned. For our sides, we got fried cassava that was wonderfully crispy and steamed vegetables that tasted of citrus and hints of spice. It was served on lovely plates at comfortable tables. We’ll definitely be back.Dietary restrictions: The restaurant is Halal.“
“Great and fast service. There are many selections and options you can choose from. The meat is freshly made which I love. Chef said was so helpful and gave great customer service. The prices are reasonable. Atmosphere and service , food was perfect ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“
“A Nice Lil Twist to Your Standard Halal... Offering Kale and Spinach and a Few Other Items Not Available Typically... I Split the Greens w Rice... Chicken Was Flavored Well... AND Why NOT Have Grilled Onion and Raw Pickled Onions As MyS3lf... Also They Offer a Thick N Sweet BBQ Sauce Along Side the Standard White... Polite Young Staff...“
“I went there for lunch with my wife and was very pleased with everything, The food was delicious and the place was very clean, the family platter is something I would recommend to anyone to try if they decide to visit this restaurant, very big portions are very reasonably priced and we will def visit again in the near future.“
“Wonderful Lebanese counter with 2 tables inside. Their food is fresh and tasty, reasonably priced with meat and vegetarian offerings. Plus, they deliver!Unlike most Middle Eastern shawarma places , they have other Lebanese dishes like moussaka (Lebanese not Greek), and spinach pies, mujaddara, kibbeh and koshari.“
“Today my husband chose this place to celebrate his birthday, which is quite close to home and I already knew that it had a beautiful view. What I not imagined was that it had such delicious food, but the food is not the best, Didi's service The young woman who attended us was everything, I mean 100% recommended, there are people who come with their heart and make you feel special.“
“Grilled chicken PlatterFrom $8.99over basmati rice and salad (Lettuce, Tomato & Cucumber) with grilled Onion & Pepper, White Zone Sauce, Red Zone Sauce (spicy).I ordered from Uber Eats, so I don’t know how the service was, but from the way the place told the person who was bringing the food to hold it, it meant the people care about how one gets their food, which is good.This was my first time trying out this place. A friend who always comes here put me on, and well, I finally got to try it and it was a 10/10. The chicken was seasoned, not too salty, and the white sauce had a little something that makes it different from the other white sauces I get from other halal spots. The sauce alone gets a 10/10 ?. The red zone wasn’t too spicy, but man, it was good. It made me want to order another platter, but this time actually go in person to order it, as I found out they sell drinks that seem to go well with it. The pita bread was soft and came with two pieces, just like in the picture. Honestly, I usually don’t get the tomato and lettuce because I focus on the main things, but when everything is mixed together, it's a gem ?. Definitely check this place out if you live in the area or order from Uber Eats. And the best part is, they aren't expensive. I paid about $12.99 for the platter on Uber Eats, but I swear it’s worth it.“
“I’ve been visiting this place regularly for the past 3 years. Definitely one of the best places to eat at. The food is always delicious and Zuzu and everyone who works there always take care of their customers. 10/10 must try the chicken platter and their pita is surely one of the best ones out “
“We were in the area and decided to check out this place bc of all the great reviews and I’m so glad we did. This place is amazing and the food is so so good!! We ordered the hummus, chicken chapli and beef chapli with qabuli palow (traditional rice with carrots and raisins). It’s so favorable and so fresh. They bring out the largest piece of naan bread ever with your order or hummus and food btw which I totally forgot to take a picture of ??♀️ oh and the people who work here are so lovely!“
“WOW! WOW!WOW! I came here with my nephew and my bro and we were not disappointed at all. Everything we ordered was amazing. My cheeseburger was served on a red colored bum they make in house, the burger was cooked perfectly and the toppings sauteed onion rings lettuce tomato and cheese were all primo!!!I'll be back soon for round 2!Vegetarian options: Falafel burger for the non carnivorousParking: Easy and closeKid-friendliness: Yes“
“been coming here for years now, food is always good & consistent. but today this female employee prompted me to scan a google card without saying why, just kept tapping it against my phone which i had put for the app. as soon as the review page came up she began to tap 5 stars for everything, without asking me or explaining anything. very suspicious & just completing this review so people know the ratings may be tampered with & completed by the employee rather than customers.“
“The mac and cheese was pretty good here, and the portion size was quite large considering this was a $5 side. Ate here pretty late at night, but the food came out very quickly. Shoutout to Hadisha (server), who provided exceptional service, very fast and great energy. The place was crowded even then, lively and a retro 80s vibe. Perfect place to take your friend after a breakup so he can eat his feelings. Only complaint is that the mac and cheese sauce was a little watery (enough that this is really more of a 4.5/5 than a 5/5) (maybe because they usually add fried chicken to it that soaks up excess moisture?), so be aware of that if you favor gloppy mac and cheese.“
“Checked it out because of the high rating on Google. I got the chopped cheese meal (fries & soda) with a fried Chicken drumstick on the side. Only $12.93 for everything! The chopped cheese was awesome, fully loaded texture and flavor bomb on a toasted Italian roll. It took only about 5 minutes to make. The chicken was seasoned nice and was super juicy on the inside yet golden crispy on the outside. I was stoked to try the fries next because there was enough for a family and golden in color. Sadly they were soggy, not fried nearly as long as they should have been and lacked salt. I ate just a few both with and without ketchup and tossed them. This small trendy looking corner store had a couple display cases with mainly fried chicken and desserts offered as grab-n-go. There were 2 thin tables to stand at and eat if desired and quiet with one chef and one cashier. Friendly staff though with great recommendations.Parking: Street parking already taken. Expect to park a block away.“
“From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a warm friendly environment. Usman was an absolutely wonderful host for the evening and made excellent suggestions and even told us a bit about the history of Halal Boyz, the locations, and the larger variety on the menu compared to typical Halal spots. My boyfriend got the chicken and lamb platter with a strip of hot sauce, strip of white sauce, and strip of BBQ sauce. I got the chicken tikka boti platter with white sauce and BBQ sauce. The flavors were outstanding. So many layers of flavor and tender juiciness and fresh veggies my eyes were wide and impressed with every bite. Usman offered us some chai for after our meal and the perfect soothing combination of cardamom, milk, cream, and Delicious tea was the perfect way to end our meal. Serving was plentiful we had left overs to take home and cannot wait for dinner tonight! Epic spot. And can't wait to try his suggestions of other menu items next time we're in the area. Thanks for your hospitality and we will be back!“
“Eylul is amazing, she recommended the Turkish brunch which was a medley of hot cold appetizers, homemade jams and with homemade breads. It was so unique and tasty. The platter was enough for 3 people. I would definitely come back again as they have such great service and attention to detail.Vegetarian options: A lot of veg optionsParking: Has both free and paid parkingKid-friendliness: Kids are allowedWheelchair accessibility: Open space“
“Food was hot, delicious, and a great price. You get a lot for what you pay for and you don't see that anywhere anymore. The store is very small. There's one table with 4 seats and 4 seats at the window counter. Most orders are to go anyways so it didn't matter.“
“If you are a fan of Nandos you will like this place! Dont get me wrong, it's not as good but if you want to save yourself the drive to DC. This is a great option. The fries were out of this world! Ask them to put the seasoned salt on them. The chicken had great flavor but i wish it wasn't just a sauce they put on top vs marinating it with it. The other thing that i noticed is you have to buy majority of the menu items separately, which i didn't like too much.“
“This is a cute cafe with yummy treats! The staff was so welcoming they literally made me feel like I’ve known them forever. My favorite was the red velvet latte which I had with a custard filled croissant. It was absolute heaven!!!Their breakfast sandwich was great as well! Def need to come back again!“
“Tired and weary from a 4 hr flight, we got into Newark at 12am. We asked the, at first, grumpy car rental lady if she wanted to go eat with us at White Castle. “OMG, they’re traaaash now,” she said to our horror. She recommended this place and bless her, with her now cheerful disposition (I assume it was because I offered to beat anyone who was rude to her).Being from Arizona, we were not prepared for the treacherous journey to satiate our hunger. But we did conquer the wild roads at now 1am.We were greeted by a cheerful cashier who took our order, thinking nothing of our disheveled looks. We peered around and it had come up that we were from out of state, tired, hungry and terrified of the parking situation we had just faced.We didn’t order the chicken, but had we known it was the best dish on their menu, we would have! He brought us out complementary chicken with some biscuits. My partner and I ravaged the piping hot food and it wasn’t the best fried chicken we had had because we were hungry, but because it was moist, crunchy and flavorful.Thank you! We worried that NJ would be full of creeps, but our first meeting was such a pleasant one, it filled not just our bellies, but our hearts.“
“Probably best meal of our trip. Burger was amazingly seasoned, Fries and Chicken were also very good, service was nice and prompt. Had both bean and beyond burgers, which is a plus for our party of a vegeterian that likes meat and one that doesn't.Vegetarian options: Black Bean and Beyond burgers, plus Paneer wraps and a good variety of sides.Dietary restrictions: Most menu items can be ordered Halal.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu.“
“Thanks Yelp for helping us to find Lebanese Eatery. We detoured off 95 to this Staten Island gem, and it was absolutely worth it. Delicious chicken schwarma, cheese manaish, lentil soup & falafel. The staff were incredibly friendly and kind. Truly authentic Lebanese food!“

“It's a very small, unassuming place with limited seating but the service is good and so if the food! I went for breakfast and really enjoyed my french toast, scrambled eggs, and beef bacon everything was delicious! Honestly, better than I expected! Don't judge a book by its cover!

“We ordered tahdig with gheimeh bademjan which was perfect. Tahdig was awesome. We also ordered koobideh, we liked it, but it was not the best we had in persian restaurants. Service was very good. We asked for more grilled tomato and they added 2 more grilled tomato for no extra charge.“
“They have the best gyro bowl in the city and the people who work there have the best respect for costumers and they have the best food in Newark so I recommend you come to King wings.Vegetarian options: I would recommend the house because the lettuce is so fresh and good I would like to eat it all day“
“Union fried chicken and grill is easily one of favorite food spots in union. The staff is very friendly and put a lot of effort into the cooking. The food is great (the lamb over rice will change your life) and it is a must try place being right on morris ave. They are right next door to a Halal grocery store and they have a nice sized lot in the back as well. If you have not tried the food here, you definitely should.Also don’t be fooled by the name of the store, they have plenty more to offer than just fried chicken.“
“For $10, the quantity and quality is amazing! - Generous bed of rice on the bottom- Generous amount of protein on top of the rice - Generous amount of sauce Lamb: Was soft and tender, not gamey Chicken: Juicy and tender, definitely taste the spices The man taking orders was very nice. I went on a Wednesday and the wait was about 15-20 minutes, but it is so worth it!“
“My husband and I love this place , I come here for lunch they're are super fast and always friendly, the customer service is always amazing, my son was sleeping one day in the car and they brought my food out to my car , I was super thankful that day, the lady's at the front are always smiling, that's just bring my lunch vides to another level.“
“Tried this place today finally after seeing it for months just never worked out to stop but today I did and I'm really glad that I got to. I got the Kings meal which comes with 2 jerk tacos ? a quesdilla Nashville hot chicken on a brioche bun and a chopped cheese on a sesame bun that was nice and crispy on the outside but super soft on the inside everything was more then excellent the jerk chicken is incredible the Nashville hot chicken is out of this world and so is the chopped cheese didn't make it to the quesdilla but I'm sure its on the same level as the tacos has the same jerk chicken next time il get the Nashville hot tho to try 10/10 would recommend to stop for lunch dinner or whenever you are on richmond ave very friendly dudes made all food to perfection and was fast they are there until 2 am he said and they also offer doordash definitely will be going back haven't had food I have been impressed with in a while and this place def hit the spot for sure on his way to being a staple of staten island“
“I really enjoyed their food. It is a hidden jewel on South St. Their coffee is good. You have to make it yourself. It is very clean. You can vall ahead and they can have it ready for you just to pick it up. I learn that lunch time is a busy period, so it is to a great advantage calling for pick up.“
“I eat at this location, atleast once a week, when I can make it b4 they close.I was introduced to there food, by my fiance..... i was across the street at the nail salon. And he came with a cheeseburger... i was hooked...That introduction to there food, 2 years ago, has me going back every week.Super friendly, and I walk in, and they ask 1 or 2... lol.There the best tasting food, over any fast food garbage, and they are super friendly, profossional too.And once you get to know these muslims, they will make you laugh.Im not religious, but I have the upmost respect for them.And recommend them to ALL.“

“Excellent lamb gyro meal for lunch. Friendly counter staff who took my order. It is self searing after you order. Seats/tables were OK but don’t expect spotlessly clean tables. Bathroom was clean. Good place for lunch.Parking: Next door to Quikchek so you might have to park a little bit away from Quikchek.“
“My brother is a super regular customer, and he introduced me to this amazing place. Food is always delicious, the price is right, and the wait time is convenient. Perfect place for any kind of grab you need, and I guarantee you'll get disappointed.I actually ate from there earlier today, off, course my brother was there as well?“
“great food but just 2 minor problems people smoke there and me and my child has ashtma so sometimes when we go there people smoke there and sometimes the workers doesn't do anything but one time this very young stood up and tried to tell the people the smoking to leave i was so thankful for that and one small thing is that one when i tried to get a cheese sub they forgot the cheese but other than that great businessKid-friendliness: noWheelchair accessibility: no“
