Halal Restaurants near Irvington, NJ

“if you hear anything negative about this place it's a lie! everything they serve its like mama cooked it! finally found a spot that serves basa fish,(fried) my old spot closed, the pieces could be larger for the price ,but it's well made like my old spot! the French fries are real fries,meaning they don't get soggy if reheated! :) the $2.99 chicken an rice, FIRE! an it's filling, but if you're a fat boy like me order 2!:)“

“"This is our neighborhood Popeyes Chicken, Y'all!! 😅 No, seriously, though." I went to get some chicken wings and an Italian cheese and cheese steak. There was no one in there when I first went in, but boy did that change quickly. About 5 minutes later, it was like a family gathering full of people who did not know one another, but we had one thing in common. WE LOVE THAT CHICKEN 😂!! Y'all, we talked about the chicken and how good it is. We even stayed until a fresh batch came out. We laughed and brought up memories of the 2 staff that were still there since our younger aging, me now 50. The point is to get there and get THAT CHICKEN!! OH, the chicken steak was delicious as well. I loved that it was not dry. Also, try the pizza with the beef pepperoni slices.🤤🤤😁😍🍗🍕

Service is A+ as well.

“One of the best breakfast spots, I’ve been going here for years. Their breakfast platters are good and I had one of their lunch dishes which was pretty good. In the photos, I ordered Turkey bacon egg, and cheese. It was on point, the service was good. It took 20 mins so make sure you call ahead.“

“Best gyro I’ve ever had hands down! The lentil soup is also fantastic. Highly recommended for takeout! (You can eat there but it’s small)“

“Omg it's been so long i haven't been here, but their pizza is the best and the all the foods that he has it's delicious especially the salads. I will recommend anybody to come here and sit down and eat a delicious pizza🍕🤗😉☺️“

“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“

“First and foremost. Do not order from Uber eats. I saved about 10$ against Uber pickup order, and about $20 from delivery not including tip. The saved money went to spending more here. You pay more for each item on Uber eats.

The food was fresh greatly seasoned (could use more season on the jerk chicken gyro) and the falafel was fried near perfect.

The service was great. Called in the order took my time getting there in about 10 minutes and was ready immediately. I wasn’t expecting it to be but I was happy.

The strawberry twist to the banana pudding was a great hit. Just wished for a little more strawberries. I wished I took photos because all of the food was visually pleasing. The food was so good I ate a container of Jerk chicken over rice with extra meat by myself. Within 45 minutes. I usually can’t eat like that in one sitting.

Also wished for more white sauce dipping cups for the amount of falafel that was bought.

Otherwise it’s a great gem. I hate to say it but I live next to a few restaurants and did not want to try it because of the feedback. As much as I am used to a $10 plate, here was money well spent. Cost about $50 2 drinks, jerk chicken Gyro, 10pc falafel, jerk chicken over rice platter with extra chicken, and a banana pudding.“

“Amazing and tasty food!! Great service and great prices! High quality meats and chicken, all halal, with proper certificates!“

“Delicious and healthy authentic middle eastern cuisine. Highly recommend !!!“

“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 😋“

“I went for dinner and decided to try the Wednesday special menu, and it was a total hit! Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and had that classic touch everyone loves. Very worth it for the price. We were taken care of by Tony, who provided us with truly special service from the very beginning“

“first the place was homey and clean quiet and peaceful second when i first got the platter my first thoughts were hmm i wish they gave me more rice that being said once i ate the food i realize that this was PERFECT QUALITY EVERYTHING. the meat was not just SEASONED FOR COLOR BUT SEASON WITH FOREIGN SPICES i tasted a little bit of some type of curry i could see and taste the seasoning they put in the rice was so flavorful almost its own star what made me rlly say this quality was amazing was the fact that the cold amazing slice fresh tomato were absolutely high quality the fact that the tomatoes were that fresh and the salad was perfectly preserved the white sauce was amazing per most hala spot but there hot sauce wasn’t to spicy it was good enough for my stomach to not act up it came with pita bread which is a nice touch and was a reasonable priced my full rating would be 4.8 honestly“

“Not sure why negative comments , I have been coming here for a couple weeks now and the food is amazing and fresh they even make the buns fresh. My favorite is the grilled chicken sandwich. The staff is also very nice“

“good food .... great price“

“Looking for a great place for lunch or dinner HPK is outstanding from Gyros to rice platters with the white sauce you will fill up unless you have a bottomless pit I highly recommend you stop by .“

“Mr. Falafel on Halsey Street is absolutely phenomenal. The food is fresh, flavorful, and truly delicious every single time. The falafel is crispy, the portions are generous, and the service is wonderful. The staff are kind, welcoming, and make the whole experience even better. A tremendous spot in Newark and an easy 5 stars.“

“Hempstead location is the best halal on Long Island!“

“This spot was amazing for family sized trays. We got the half tray chicken and lamb combo + half tray of rice. This was the most meat ive gotten at a halal place and the half tray was more than enough for 9 people as we had leftovers. I highly recommend these trays for huge gahrerings, they accommodated within 30 minutes.“

“Wowww so good and fresh! I got a chicken & salad platter along with a lamb & chicken pita. I ordered through a third party app and the food was still so warm. The chicken is soo nice, fresh, thick, and juicy. I love the sauces. Boyfriend ate the pita too fast to show a picture haha. Never ordering from any other halal again.“

“I luv it I would recommend Juicys💕💕💕“

“Tried for the first time yesterday, they exceeded my expectations. My cheesesteak was so good I could have ate another. I’m definitely coming back for more. Great food, fair prices, awesome service“

We come out of state for a game in MetLife stadium last year and the food was amazing we comeback again after one year and man !! Khalid the owner is amazing ! Please with a welcome smile ! Man the door is the same quality ! Best food ever! And great home made lemonade !“

“My breakfast was great this morning.“

“Yesterday was our first time at this place I was craving a chicken over rice an i look up placeses on the net an omggyro came up. We went there to try it for the first time
I must say the food is delicious an very busy I try the half n half juice I love it not too sweet or sour perfect for the summer. We try the chicken stripes too it was delicious. I cnt wait to go back an try the jerk over rice. Its a must try guys💯💯💯“

“They have the freshest , BEST FOOD in NJ. They are also very polite and helpful. The owner is so sweet and everything is made to order!! Definitely a win win 🏆“

“Humble seems to be the best word to summarize this restaurant. The men who run it seem to have a great rapport with their customers; they’ve been there for 20+ years and it shows. They were kind and accomodating. The food was plated carefully and was pretty taste. My only complaints were putting margarine on my pancakes without asking and the tiny plastic utensils, which left my hands covered in syrup. However both of those go to the restaurant being unpretentious. There’s no atmoshere to speak of but it was clean. I’d eat here again but probably wouldn’t go out of my way.“

“I ordered Chicken Biryani and Chicken Kabab through Uber Eats. After I ordered , I realized that I forgot to order Nan. So I called the restaurant and ask them that what can I do now. The person(probably the owner) replied , I will add Nan and whenever you visit, give me 2 Dollars. That was really a nice gesture which I will remember and must appreciate(along with the debt on me).
Talking about food, I had eaten many Biryanis in USA but it is one of the best real Pakistani biryani. Kababs were also fresh and tasty. I highly recommend those who want to have Halal and real Pakistani taste, must visit.“

“My new favorite spot for the best sandwiches hands down in staten island. The pastrami was perfectly done and bread made it even better . So was the chopped cheese .oh and don't get me started on the fries omg .. nice and crispy hot and no oil residue whatsoever.. keep up the good work guys . Service was a plus btw“

“I experienced very good service from this location one of the very few places which use a pizza oven and they make it fresh they gave me as much Sauce as I required the only problem was that they had a few scraps on the floor but otherwise nice people good service and better food only one bathroom tho“

“friendly Atmosphere good service nice perfectly cooked portion sizes and food makes you feel like Sunday dinner with family“

“PIDDE DELICIOUS PLACE IN NEW JERSEY;
I’ve been living in the U.S. for 16 years, and the thing I’ve missed and loved the most is lahmacun. After trying it at PIDDE, I’ve never had lahmacun anywhere else again. At other places I’ve tried over the years, I always experienced heartburn afterward — but never at PIDDE.

It’s a place you can visit with your family and feel completely at ease. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.🙏“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The service is always fast and friendly, with staff who genuinely care about the quality of their food and their customers’ satisfaction. Plus, it’s in a great location in Park Place, Newark, making it the perfect spot to grab a delicious meal while enjoying the surroundings.

“Easily my favorite place in Nutley now, I'll be back for more Turkish tea, a whole pot if can be—and to try their Kazandibi dessert. An amazing breakfast selection till noon & lunch menu after till 4PM. Looking forward to many more visits!“

“Absolutely the best food in Staten Island!

Graffitery’s street cart is on a whole other level. The food is always fresh, full of flavor, and made with real attention to quality. You can taste the love in every bite. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the vibes are great.

Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, Graffitery never disappoints. Hands down the best street food in Staten Island—don’t miss it!“

“ok yo shoutout to the gentleman who served me. super friendly, definitely makes every customer that walk in feel welcome. food BANGED and prices CHEAP im really just passing thru Newark but wowww that mix platter checked all the boxes. portion was hugeee. shoutout this spot 💪“

“This place is a gem!! a must eat!! We found it through Uber Eats and ordered 1x. It was so good. The portions were amazing. Portions are like something grandma would serve her hungry kids. We visited and now I frequent it almost daily! Homefries platter is not for the faint of heart. You've got to have a hearty appetite or share it out. Grits platter...well...something of a southern treasure! Beef bacon egg and cheese sandwich is always a perfect on the run, goodie! We tried the shrimp over rice and that was nice. Chicken over rice was even better as it had a slight kick to it. And again, no matter what you order, bring a healthy appetite cause you're gonna need it and a long nap, after! These guys are amazing!! Truly! They're sweet! They're efficient! They can throw down on that gril!! Yummmmm Oh...and if you've never had it, their lemon ginger drink is amazeballs!! This place really is a gem in the middle of a jungle 😆 Visit them and be kind! Far too many ppl are not kind or feel entitled to speak to them ill mannered. Please don't! These guys really are good people and their food speaks for itself. Thank you gentlemen for always providing the best!!“

“​I got the sliders and tenders, and they were cooked to absolute perfection—juicy on the inside, perfectly crispy on the outside, and packed with flavor. The spice levels are incredibly accurate, and that Dave's sauce is pure gold. On top of the amazing food, the service was fast and the staff was super friendly.“

“The Turkish food here is of high quality. We had the mixed platter of cold appetizers and the mixed meat entree. So yummy! The host and waiters were very welcoming and efficient. When they made a mistake and forgot a side we ordered, they still brought it late and did not charge us. Then they brought us tea and baklava on the house. They want you to leave happy. The sign of a well-run business. We’ll be back for sure.“

“The food is absolutely delicious! We ordered the mixed grill platter, and it was more than enough for two people. Everything was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I’ve been here several times and keep coming back because the food and service are consistently excellent. Highly recommend!“

“This is absolutely the best eaterie in Halsey Village. It's a regular weekly stop for me and they always remember my name and what I order which by the way is simply the best chicken and rice etc., around. The staff are friendly and welcoming in an atmosphere that is open and relaxing.“

“This is a hidden gem! They Serve fresh fruit juices, Breakfast All Day… one of the best fried chicken wing and fried shrimp spots in the area. Collards cabbage Potato Salad are all delicious.. Oh yeah they now serve fresh fish and veggies prepared your way (including steamed)Love this Local Gem!!!“

“After a tasty round of appetizers including tangy baked Fava beans, creamy smooth hummus, baba ghanoush and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside falafel, we feasted on two lamb dishes, one of which was perfectly grilled, and an order of couscous with vegetables. I still remember today how great everything tasted. Service was friendly and efficient and the decor included lamps and accessories imported from Morocco. Portions were generous and they provide containers for the leftovers. You can only eat so much! Highly recommended.“

“friendly Atmosphere good service nice perfectly cooked portion sizes and food makes you feel like Sunday dinner with family“

“Great place but your store and a few around you constantly have bums breaking into your bathroom putting guide wires down the drains and all, ripping up the PNC bank right next to you and triggering the bank alarm to harass buildings with older static based alarms all around, this is related to building 55 and a very noisy storm drain at Manor drive and Norman road, thisnis an undergroubd T section that a used in combination with deep earth scamning 2854hz to find gold and silver s r wash that along with a MISSING PHENTYYLIN PACKAGE 4 YEARS AGO.to capture it in these tunnels and other nasty things. Friday 10 am the fun started from. Your store on the 26th and you and your family is most likely being targeted. Don't forget o ly speak with officers in person and when they can presentan id.“

“Excellent food. Ordered Chicken burger, fries and friend chicken. Food was fresh, tasty and warm. More than everything, had a great conversation with Mr. Javed while waiting for my food to get ready, who is the owner of the restaurant and a thorough gentleman. Will highly recommend.“

“I went to their Grand opening today!!! The food is fresh and tastes delicious!!! Can’t wait to go back, friendly owners, great location and late hours! What more can one ask for!!!!“

“The food was delicious, I did not know what I wanted so I ask the girl what she suggested. It was a amazing the chicken was so good . I like healthy food . I will definitely be going back can’t wait to try The gyros“
