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!“

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a new restaurant and enjoyed EVERY dish, drink, and the service. Truly, I would change nothing about any dish I ordered. My husband and I left so full and soooo happy. What a joy it was to experience Sawa. We will absolutely be back.“

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

“We are frequent customers, but today was truly something else. Normally our visits are not this special, but Amelia completely changed our experience. This Midtown location is my favorite, and even though we live in New Jersey, we still make this trip to Auzatar every 3 months because it’s always worth the trip.

But today stood out in the best way. Amelia went above and beyond with her service — she was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive. She made us feel valued and comfortable from start to finish.

We love Amelia so much that we will be coming back with friends and family — but only on the days Amelia is here! She is truly exceptional and made our visit unforgettable.“

“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!“

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

“Unique blend of Mediterranean and Mexican cuisine; the dips were all great and the watermelon salad was very refreshing. Chicken Shawarma Burrito was filling and had all the spices you want but could have used a bit of salsa to add moisture“

“Food was authentic compared to many other Lebanese spots in NYC, and I like what the chef has tried to do, by creating an environment for many to enjoy Lebanese food with a vision for NY'ers. TBH Lebanese food doesn't need to be recreated just enjoyed as it is. The contents of the Shawarma sandwich were on point but wished it be a hot sandwich and not with cold/room temp bread. Besides this the appetizers were magic. Out of all the Lebanese spots in NY, this one, so far, sits on top of the food chain. Good job! 👍🏽“

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

“Excellent customer service. The food is delicious.“

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

“Really cozy little spot! The place is small but super welcoming.
The pancakes are huge — definitely something to share. They come with a good amount of cheese, though the batter could be a bit moister. There’s this aromatic flavor that makes them a little different — depends on your taste, but I kinda liked it.
The chicken sandwich was awesome, and the service was great too. Everyone there was super nice and friendly.“

“Great service, friendly staff AMAZING food.“

“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!!!“

“Lavashawarma is absolutely excellent! 🌟 From start to finish, everything was perfect — the food is delicious and fresh, the staff are so kind and helpful, and the manager goes above and beyond to make sure customers are happy. The delivery was also fast and professional. Honestly, every detail shows how much they care about their customers. Highly recommended!“

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

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great time as always“

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“I grabbed the Falafel Bowl from Naya - 39th & Broadway through MealPal and wow, it’s a flavor bomb! The creamy tahini and zesty spicy smoky red sauce kicked the fresh cabbage slaw and pickled cucumber up a notch. So savory and spiced perfectly—highly recommend!“

“First time trying this Lebanese food chain and it exceeds my expectations!

Location: It is located along Madison Avenue behind St. Patricks cathedral. There are few seatings inside.

Service: it is a step by step process. Not that much interaction cause you just have to tell them which choices you want.

Food: I got the Naya Bowl. And it was the best. It is a step by step process so here is what I got.

STEP 1: you can choose naya roll, naya bowl or naya salad. I chose the bowl cause it has rice with vermicelli.

STEP 2: choose 2 meats. I chose beef shawarma which is super tender and flavorful. The second meat was kafta lamb kebab, it was 2 pieces but it was delicious, very moist inside its like a small patty burger.

STEP 3: choose toppings. I chose hummus, tahini, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, cucumber, feta cheese, chopped romaine.

I got also pistachio baklava and their warm feta bread on the side. This is a must!

Price rating: 7/10 price range. It was not bad, I paid $19 for naya bowl, baklava and bread.

I will definitely come back here to try the other choices.“

“The quality of the meat from the butcher in the back is outstanding—everything tastes incredibly fresh and flavorful. I especially love their sujok, the spicy beef sausage. It’s perfectly seasoned with just the right kick, and you can usually find it in the freezer section, available in different levels of spiciness.

After the recent construction, the place looks fantastic. The new layout is clean, modern, and well-organized. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into enhancing both the food offerings and the overall atmosphere.

Don’t miss their manaeesh—they’re absolutely delicious. Whether you choose za’atar, cheese, or a mix, each one is baked fresh and bursting with flavor.“

“one of my fav restaurants in NYC“

“Something different, I really enjoyed it.“

“Love this place so much. Love their Mexican food a lot the tacos, quesadillas, and burritos just name it. Everything here is a straight ten outta ten so far even though I haven’t tried the Mediterranean food yet such as shawarmas and what not. But once again their Mexican food is so good especially if you want 100% halal definitely come here at “Fatimas Grill”.“

“Thank you Zaytinya for a wonderful dinner last night despite the mini hurricane that blew through the city. Allan, Anna, Leonora, and Chef were amazing and their customer service skills were top notch. Despite us all being soaked with rain, we laughed it off and had a blast. Allan is a beast with the table squeegee. The food was delicious.“

“Excellent food and service Good environment.“

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

“Best chicken over rice I've ever had, and the grilled meats and seafood in general are all extremely well marinated, grilled, and of high quality freshness. Desserts are excellent as well. Definitely slightly pricier than a food truck, but worth it for the space, service, and food quality.“

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

“A small but very good spot to pickup a tasty snack or meal. Seating is limited, both indoors and outdoors.

I had the spicy beef wrap. It was of high quality and served on what I believe to be bread from Balthazar. I would have liked the beef to be more spicy, but it was delicious nonetheless.

There was approximately 100 grams of beef on my wrap (3.5 oz.). Next time I will order two or try two different types.“

“I had a great experience at Naya Mediterranean Food on Broadway! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. I especially want to thank Casimiro, the manager—he was incredibly kind, professional, and clearly very hardworking
Highly recommend this place, both for the food and the great people behind it!“

“Naya never misses. Every time I come to eat here it never disappoints. Very generous portions and great tasty food! The manager, Maria, is super friendly and helpful she made my day. Her staff is amazing too! The store is also kept very clean. They will definitely see me coming back more.“

“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.“

“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 . . .“

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

“The neighborhood needed exactly this kind of restaurant. The workers here show remarkable courtesy and competence. The kitchen approaches cooking with genuine care. The pricing reflects the experience level. This restaurant provides dependable service.“

“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.“

“Loved being able to grab a tasty vegan wrap before a long train ride. I ordered in the station and made it through a long line very quickly with a meal wrapped for later. The flavors were lovely and I was able to choose so many distinct toppings like Lebanese pickles, pickled turnips, slaw, and hot sauce.“

“Omg! I love this place, too delicious 😋“
