Halal Restaurants near Iselin, NJ

“Visited tonight for a late-night craving and had a great experience. The staff was very warm and welcoming, even at a late hour.

I ordered the Chicken Karachi Naan and Chicken Seekh Kebabs—everything was excellent. I can confidently say these are some of the best chicken seekh kebabs in the Northeast. They were served hot, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with a great blend of spices. Honestly, you could easily enjoy two or three just with raita—no naan needed.

As big foodies who’ve tried just about every spot out there, this place really stands out. The atmosphere is clean and inviting, the staff is friendly, and even the restrooms are spotless.

If there were six stars, I’d give it without hesitation.“

“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“

“One of the best halal spots in NJ“

“This is one of the best Afghan Kebab places, I've ever been in USA. It's guised as Fast food and indeed orders are served super fast. Lots of types on cooking like kebabs, schwarma, jerk chicken & the owner is super nice & humble. Kabuli Rice 🍚 hits the right spot.
They've an entertainment TV which plays Afghan or religious channels depending on the time of the day.
I have tried many of them including sweet. I keep bringing my family there as it's totally worth it. A+++++
Also it's open late till 2 AM!“

“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“

“Food was great, very tasty and fresh!
We’ve got some chicken over fries, mix over fries and falafel platters - my whole family got full really fast.
Great food, great prices and excellent attention to the customers. Keep it up! :)“

“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.“

“I came in and ordered a Dhoom chicken sandwich and some fried chicken and I noticed they had biryani. In my twenty-two years of living I have never seen biryani on the menu of any halal platter/chicken shack place so I gave it a try expecting it to be mid. They are on par with a few of the restaurants in the area with that biryani and it's actually pretty cheap too at 12 bucks. They put a fair amount of meat in there too, like three pieces with a lot of rice. The Dhoom chicken sandwich was actually fresh and had some good toppings (onions, tomatoes) with tasty sauce. The fried chicken was a little greasy though. Even though Piscataway and NB are full of halal places if you're looking for something unique try these guys.“

“Food is amazing. Always fresh and delicious“

“Food is amazing and great service!!!! Highly recommend 🙏🏼🥰“

“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.“

“Great staff, meal options, and service! We order often and always enjoy the food and generous portions. Everyone is nice and friendly. It’s also located in a convenient area - easy to go in, order and get exactly what you want! It’s halal and has vegetarian options also so it appeals to all customers. Highly recommend 👍“

“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 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“

“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“

“If you’re in the area this is the place to order your food. There’s also online option to order from. This has been my most satisfied Halal restaurant experience. Clean environment, spacious and nice restaurant design set up. I got chicken and lamb over rice with vegetables combo. It’s an explosion of remarkable taste. Customer service was excellent and their meal comes in good portion too - so you get more for the very affordable price.“

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

“Raavi Naan Kabab was a very enjoyable experience overall. The food was flavorful, satisfying, and clearly made with care. The naan was fresh and delicious, and the kababs were well seasoned and cooked nicely. The menu offers comforting, rich flavors that make the meal feel authentic and enjoyable.

The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, and the service was friendly throughout the visit. While there may be small areas that could be improved, the overall experience was very positive. It is a solid place for a good meal, especially if you are looking for flavorful food and a relaxed dining experience. I would gladly come back.“

“A place filled with warmth and hospitality!

David, the manager, along with the entire front desk team on duty at 7:00 PM on Friday, December 19, 2025, surpassed all expectations through their exceptional professionalism and attentiveness. The availability of halal dining options was particularly commendable, allowing my children the freedom to dine according to their preferences. I extend my sincere appreciation to corporate leadership for their thoughtful inclusion of the Muslim community. Additionally, the hot chicken prepared by David was outstanding and greatly enjoyed.“

“This place has become my one of the favorite places to eat in NJ. All dishes have some unique taste to remember. My personal favorite is Half chicken- all dark, Peri peri fries, corn on the cob etc. Clean environment and well mannered staffs. I would highly recommend.“

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

“Awesome food..thank you..“

“10/10 would definitely recommend. 🍔🍔“

“Best waffles I’ve ever had. Not sure what they put in the batter but I’ve never had a waffle that tastes as good as the ones here.

All the other breakfast sandwiches are also really good, and the prices are very reasonable. I’ve only had their breakfast so I can’t comment on their other food.

I’d mostly recommend takeout here, yes there is a seating area but it’s kind of small.

Dietary restrictions: Halal“

“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“

“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.“

“Awesome place, food was so good, would definitely go again and recommend“
