Lebanese Restaurants near Jersey City, NJ

“We ordered so many incredible signature dishes. The lamb moussaka was 5 stars! To really test them we ordered one of the best lahmanchoun’s we’ve tasted in NY! Cozy atmosphere, attentive waitstaff, Momo JC definitely exceeded our expectations!“

“I’ve been going to Ibby’s since they first opened. If you want good food, this is the place to go. Their falafels are like no other!! They have the best falafels in N.J. Hands down!“

“The food was out of this world. Very fast service and attentive staff.

The restaurant is fairly small, so tables are close to each other and we overheard the conversation of other guests. It didn’t bother us too much but perhaps this is something to keep in mind if you come here for a business meeting.

Overall, very enjoyable dining experience.“

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

“Great food it was beautiful outside quiet. I enjoyed my dinner I recommend everyone to go.“

“The best authentic Lebanese food in NYC. A must-try. All there food is fresh and delicious and very generous quantities. Their Shawarma is soooo good, you can eat it in bowl or a sandwich with lots of yummy toppings. I also tried their falafel and it was super good!“

“Izzy is always accommodating & nice. I’ve always had a good food experience whenever I go.“

“Very recommended. The taste of food is very good. The quantities are generous and the service is fast. The one thing that spoiled it a little is that they would not show us to the table before all guests arrived. So we waited at the door for a while. On the way out the queue was pretty long.“

“This place is really special. Enjoyed every one of the dishes.
Dips were great but not the standouts. The Branzino and the nut sauce it came with was divine. The Crunchy and Pollo Asado tacos were incredible, perfect fusion of Lebanese and Mexican flavors, owner and staff are very polite, professional and helpful.
RECOMMENDED“

“Excellent customer service. The food is delicious.“

“The chicken and rice was fantastic, the hummus was incredibly smooth and flavorful, the sheesh barak was delicious too. I wasn’t too keen on the baba ghannouj, but the sambousek, fatayer, sfeeha, and beef kebbeh are must tries. We also got the special which was samke harra which was good but a too spicy. Huge shoutout to Mona for her outstanding service!“

“Great service, friendly staff AMAZING food.“

“First of all, my chicken sandwich was SO flavourful, as well as my avocado zaartar salad. Thank you!“

“I fiiiiinally got here yesterday after drooling over social media posts about it for ages. I was NOT disappointed!

First, could the gentleman who took my order BE any nicer? He was lovely and smiley and appreciated my excitement at being there.

I decided to splurge because I simply could not get one thing. I got the piri piri sandwich, and the lamb birria to take home.

That chicken was so perfectly crispy, I can't even tell you. And it was huge. I had to pick off chunks of chicken to eat before I could actually pick the sandwich up. It was the right amount of heat in the sauce, too. Fortunately, I really enjoy drippy sandwiches when they're this good (not greasy-drippy, just saucy!), and I'm pretty sure they had no napkins left in the building when I was done.

The lamb birria was soooo delish, even after reheating it at home, and the au jus dip had NO grease on top when I took it out of the fridge this morning. It's sharply garlicky in a good way, and I could not stop eating this massive thing. I had it last night for dinner and for breakfast this morning and there's still some left. $25 well spent!

I hope the neighborhood continues to support them because I want to take the trip from Queens again to try all the other things on the menu!“

“Been here twice and the food is omg fabulous and so aromatic . It’s also BYOB with no cork fee. Lovely like cozy spot in East Village. Shared this mixed grill platter with a friend and was just enough to fill us up.“

“I’ve been going to the Tripoli since I was a child (1975, so I was 2 years old). At first, the draw was their authentic pastries (their Birds Nests are TOP NOTCH!!!). To this day, I love their traditional Lebanese cuisine (their humus, babaghanouj and tabouli are AMAZING as is their shish-kabob and chicken shishtaouk). If ever you find yourself on the border between Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill Brooklyn (NYC), I can’t recommend them enough!!!“

“Warm environment and friendly owner and staff👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“I recently visited Naya to pick up lunch for my team, and it was an amazing experience! Everyone loved what they ordered, and it’s no surprise given the quality and variety this place offers.

I had the Naya Bowl with Kafta Lamb Kebab, and it was absolutely delicious. The base of vermicelli rice paired perfectly with the seasoned lamb kebabs, which were tender, flavorful, and spiced just right. I especially appreciated the unlimited fresh toppings—there are so many great options to customize your bowl exactly how you want it!

I also grabbed a few sides, including the Little Tabboule and Labne with White Pita. The tabboule was fresh and vibrant, with the perfect balance of parsley, mint, bulgur, and a zesty lemon-olive oil dressing. The labne was creamy and rich, making it the perfect dip for the freshly baked, soft white pita.
The service was another standout- they were friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience seamless and pleasant.

Naya does an excellent job of staying true to its mission of providing authentic, fresh, and nutritious Middle Eastern meals. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. Highly recommend this spot for a quick, satisfying, and healthy meal!

Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you, Naya! ?“

“Me encantó !!! Comida libanesa deliciosa y exquisita ♥️“

“Gabriella helped cater a lunch for me, and let me tell you, everyone loved all the dishes! Fed 30 people and was given nothing but compliments about the food and presentation of the delivery. Whether it's dining in or getting take-out/delivery, I highly recommend Gabriella's, you will not be disappointed. Will definitely be ordering more in the future!“

“Want to make your pallet dance? Of course you do! Boutros is the place to go from their tantalizing cocktails to their original baba ghanoush and falafel you’ll be simply amazed. Old school, traditional recipes with a twist of new flare. Mikey is a wizard for creating his cocktails. I had the pleasure of trying two of them that he created after thinking about them for 12 years and I highly recommend them the Garlic Gibson and the Bitter tree, both are amazing. Allen, who is the chef and owner and named this quaint little place after his dad will delight you with his specialties my Sister and I had the mushroom hummus. The short rib wraps are beautiful salad and baba ghanoush to name a few. Hurry up, you won’t be disappointed!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Tasty, healthy and reasonably priced food can be hard to come by in Manhattan. Naya is one of best in these regards! I pickup lunch from them about once a week and they always have my order ready when promised and usually someone helping me find my order which is great!

Dietary restrictions: I’m vegan and can find quite a few things to eat here. Vegans have to go with the ruby rice and have to avoid the baba ganoush, which is unfortunate because baba ganoush is usually vegan and one of my favorites!y“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great time as always“

“This is the best thing that happened in the upper East Side. Balila restaurant just opened. The authenticity of Lebanon’s touch brings you straight to the heart of Beirut. The service, the quality and the Hospitality is amazing. The owner himself goes beyond to make customers leave happy. All the best. Strongly recommended to all“

“The food is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, with a great variety of Mediterranean options to choose from. The staff is friendly and efficient, even during the busy lunch rush. The ambiance is modern and clean, making it a perfect spot for a quick, delicious meal. I highly recommend trying their bowls and wraps – you won’t be disappointed! NAYA is definitely a standout in the Brookfield Place food court. Can't wait to go back!“

“The good tastes homemade, the prices are good, the workers are friendly and helpful.

I specially like stuffed grape leaves and hummus.

They don't have frills, it is authentic good food.

One of the stables for my meals.“

“i usually buy a hot cheeto zinger burger and they charge me up to like 14 dollars when my mom goes they charge her 17 99 but we only want the burger not including fries an ecx

good food chill people but they made a mistake this time“

“la comida es una delicia y el restaurante muy limpio y excelente trabajadores“

“Something different, I really enjoyed it.“

“We had such a nice dinner here! The food was very flavorful and both chicken shawarma and lamb shawarma were extremely tender. The falafel and hummus were also good! It looks a little like a chain restaurant but isn’t, and has a very nice homey feel with very friendly service.“

“one of my fav restaurants in NYC“

“Best middle eastern in the city. A littlest me pricey though“

“Excellent food and service Good environment.“

“Wonderful food and amazing service.“

“Love it and love the owners. I’ve been going here for over 30 years“

“amazing food. love it. go here often. wonderful staff. beautiful patio“

“Best restaurant I've ever found in midtown (and I've been here for a few years). . . . FIVE STARS! after having Tawook Chicken or Lamb Kabob for dinner I like to take home some Mouhamara and some hummus, especially on a Friday, for snacking. Balade helps get me through the weekend. 😄 I'm sharing a pic of some of Balade's fresh, delicious, Mouhamara on a diced up baked red potato. I had this at home this morning. It's also great on pita, or a cracker, or a slice of toast, or . . .“

“Stopped in while taking a stroll after work. The staff were super friendly and patient. I had a bowl with the rice, kebab and most of the unlimited toppings such as; onions, olives, cabbage, cucumber, pickles, cucumber yogurt, feta cheese and the spicy green sauce. Also came with a side of pita. Loved it all!“

“I stopped by for lunch in the area. It was a good amount of seating space and looked nice and clean overall. I ordered a bowl with the shredded chicken, which was halal. Pricing was okay for the portion size. Sauces were that flavorful so the food tasted a bit bland, could taste a lot better if I had added more sauce probably. Staff were friendly and service was fast and smooth.“

“Thanks to the friendly staff, ordering for the first time wasn't difficult. The menu was explained in detail. The fresh and healthy taste is impressive.

Thanks to the kind staff, explained the menu in detail. fresh and healthy taste!!“

“The best thing is the size of the servings. Ten dollars really fill you up, even when you are hungry. The falafel and the hummus are above average. Just don't ask them to spice it up with jalapeños; they are raw and just don't fit as a condiment. I wish they would use harsissa instead.“

“Excellent food, large portions and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend NAYA!“

“This is the Chipotle of Mediterranean food. Really nice lamb koftas, falafels, etc. along with hummus, pickled veg (and then randomly jalapenos)... you get to choose what you want. Very tasty all round.

We went on a Tuesday lunchtime and the place was very busy (but super efficient service), dirty and the two tables worth of seating were in high demand.

Recommended, but perhaps at a quieter time/bigger location if you want a more relaxing lunch.“
