Halal Restaurants near Iselin, NJ

“I came here specifically for the HalwaPuri this morning, and it absolutely did not disappoint! There is nothing like a traditional breakfast to start the day right. The Puri was perfectly fluffy, light, and not too oily—just the way it should be.
The star of the show for me was the balance between the sweet and savory.

The Halwa had the perfect level of sweetness and a great texture, while the ChanaMasala (chickpea curry) and the potato bhaji had that authentic, spicy kick that makes #DesiFood so addictive. Mixing the sweet halwa with the spicy gravy on a piece of hot puri is a total #Foodie dream!“

“Lovely auntie makes the best samosa chaat I’ve ever had! Literally so mouthwatering“

“• “The BBQ here is absolutely on point—juicy, smoky, and full of flavor!” • “Best chicken tikka and seekh kebabs I’ve had in a long time.” • “Grill items are perfectly marinated and cooked just right. 10/10!” • “You can really taste the traditional Pakistani BBQ spices.”“

“Amazing food and great service . Authentic Pakistani taste . I ordered shami Anda burger and it was amazing . Would love to go back again .“

“First off, I was met with by a staff member in a cowboy hat (LOVE!) The booth was so soft and comfy and the table stands are ornate. I had the short rib and the meat was fall off the bone delicious! It was so tender and the sides were so plentiful and delicious. Each side had something a little different to pair well with the meat; sweet, salty, savory! I also had the shik Karak which was a delicious tea and for dessert, I had a banana crepe drizzled in chocolate. They do have a flair with food and I will definitely be back here!“

“This place checks off all the important parts of a food business. Consistent, clean, friendly, quality, value, and taste. It is difficult to have it all…this place does. No need to go to NYc for a platter- it’s amazing here!“

“I love Chick N Zinger! The food is consistently flavorful with just the right amount of spice. I usually order the Hot Zinger Burger, but the Classic Zinger Burger is just as good. And the fries? Easily some of the best around. Their platters are also a hit and the gyros but ask for the sauce on the side, it gets messy.

The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and provides great service.

A couple of things to know before you go: it’s located just off the highway, so it’s easy to drive past if you’re not paying attention. Parking is limited to about five spaces, and I noticed the menu on the delivery apps doesn’t completely match the options available on the in-store menu board, so it’s worth checking if you’re looking for something specific.

Overall, it’s one of our family’s favorite spots, and we’d definitely recommend it if you’re craving a great spicy chicken sandwich.“

“Delicious food and service! They do a lot of catering for large events , all the catering is made fresh and very good size portions“

“Food is fresh & tasty. Staff are very nice too.“

“Stopped by and tried the fish gyro and the chopped cheese. The chopped cheese was okay—I’ve definitely had better elsewhere. The fish gyro was good and fresh, but not quite the best I’ve had either.

The service was fast, friendly, and welcoming, which I really appreciated. The restaurant was also very clean, and everything looked well organized.

Overall, it was a good experience. I’d come back to try some of the other items on the menu.“

“Really enjoyed my experience at Zinger Halal Express. The food was fresh, flavorful, and honestly really good. The customer service was also top notch. Awaiz especially was super friendly and helpful!

Great food, great portions, and great service! I’ll definitely keep coming back.“

“We stopped by for dinner. Everything was fantastic! The owner is so nice and sweet. Grilled chicken is super!! Homemade sauce are so delicious. One of the best restaurant in Springfield! Recommended! 👏👏“

“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.“

“Food was great. Sweet potato fries were my favorite the corn was just basic corn but still delicious the chicken looks dry but trust me it was not it was very moist and I put the sauce on side just in case I didn’t like it but it was a great sauce … friendly staff. All around clean will be back to try something else“

“Our go to burger place, love their crispy chicken burger, look forward to their new milkshake flavors!“

“Amazing food and great service! Halal Boyz is definitely one of the best spots in Woodbridge. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. Their Rice platers wings, fries, samosas, and special smash burgers are especially worth trying. Friendly staff, clean atmosphere, and great value. Highly recommended!“

“Really enjoyed the falafel platter. The falafel was crispy and flavorful without being too dry, and the hummus and other sides complemented it really well. The portion was also pretty good, so I definitely left satisfied. Overall, a really solid vegetarian meal and something I’d happily order again.“

“My breakfast was great this morning.“

“Excellent service and delicious food! I placed a very large order, and everything was extremely organized, prepared quickly, and cooked perfectly. The food was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. I really appreciate how efficient and professional the staff was, especially with such a big order. Highly recommended. Definitely ordering again!“

“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 went to Dave's for the first time yesterday 7/5. We ordered through the kiosk.The service was fast, friendly and efficient. Even though it was very busy. I got the x men box. The food was good. I got the mild chicken slider. Mild was the right amount of heat for me. Hot but not to hot. One thing I'll note, each meal does not come with a drink. This is very puzzling. Other than that, we will definitely be back.“

“Perfection! Every dish and item delicious: Appetizers, entrees, desserts, Turkish coffee. Generous portions, pleasing presentations. All clearly made with great care and pride. Inviting appearance Elegant, comfortable, and relaxed. Beautiful decor. Lovely personable Hostess and staff.Very happy with the pricing on all items as well. Party of four - all of us impressed and pleased. Compliments to the Chef. Thank you.“

“It is good to have fried chicken in the house.“

“I usually stop by for food when running to work, seeing that it's closer than the other location in Newark. Judging between both locations, the taste here in Hillside is very different along with the menu! More menu items, better taste, cozier venue plus great service! My reasons for giving this specific location 5 STARS although I requested for Juice options instead of all Soda/Water upon my last visit. Excellent for a quick grab and dash or dine-in!“

“This is one of the best chicken PLACES I ever been to and I've been in many, great chicken, very clean, employee's are awesome, and they handle your FOOD in a very sanitized way, one other thing they do it right in front of you, and there pizza is also good all around it's a great place to get your FOOD, I guarantee it, 110%,plus tax“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely amazing! Halal Connection food truck delivers top-notch, flavorful dishes that keep me coming back for more. The lamb and chicken over rice is perfectly seasoned, tender, and generous in portion size. Their pita wraps are packed with fresh ingredients and the perfect blend of spices.

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. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite or a hearty meal, Halal Connection is a must-visit. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“I was very impressed by how clean and fast-paced the environment is, and I appreciated not having to wait long to receive my order. Additionally, the food was absolutely delicious and very affordable, which is especially appreciated during these times.

Thank you for providing such great food and excellent service.“

Easily one of the best places I’ve eaten at, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly, highly recommend!!!“

“Peri Peri Chicken is one of my favorite spots! Their Lemon & Herb and Mild chicken are both absolutely delicious perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor without being overwhelming.
