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.“

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

“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.“

“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! 👍🏽“

“I took my parents to Au Za’atar, and it was the perfect place to go! Amelia literally saved our trip with how attentive she was to my mom and dad. The Shawarma Tower was incredible juicy and just the right amount of food. If you’re wondering where to bring someone, this is that place! And if you can get Amelia for your wait staff, that’s the cherry on top!“

“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 service, friendly staff AMAZING food.“

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

“Hen House Nyc makes dishes that show attention at every step. The food stands above others. This place succeeds with its menu, its design and its team. The staff member engaged socially with various diners. I thoroughly appreciated this place and will definitely return!“

“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👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is my second visit, and the standard remains impressively consistent. This time, I ordered the Lamb burger, Lamb Skewers and Beef Shawarma. The lamb had no unpleasant odor, and what I particularly loved was the Premium Basmati Rice. I find myself questioning how they cook it to achieve such a fluffy texture—it feels like eating a cloud!

The Lava Chicken and Lamb come wrapped in thin, crispy flatbreads infused with aromatic spices and herbs, paired perfectly with their sauce. It’s simply irresistible!

If I were to recommend something, I’d suggest ordering takeout on weekends for gatherings at home. This restaurant is truly outstanding, earning a solid 10/10 rating!“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great time as always“

“This spot combines all the elements that matter when eating out. The food quality impressed everyone present. I found everything here remarkably good. The staff exhibits remarkable kindness while accommodating needs. This place stands above others - I know I'll be back.“

“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 ♥️“

“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.“

“10/10 AMAZING. DELICIOUS. The service was great, the wait time wasn’t too long, and the food was all the more worth it. The price fits the taste. I’m definetly coming back again. The atmosphere is also great a lot of great decorations and lights. Vibey music, and good amount of spaces to sit and eat in.“

“Something different, I really enjoyed it.“

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

“one of my fav restaurants in NYC“

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

“Excellent food and service Good environment.“

“This place shows what happens when everything works right. Their menu pricing challenges competitors. The kitchen works with only fresh components. The restaurant delivers total satisfaction. This establishment delivers outstanding results.“

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

“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.“

“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 . . .“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I dont understand the reviews seriouslyWe made our order via Ubereats and we received all the items, hot and well served. The portions are good and all is good.It said 15 min on ubereats but it was more like 1h15 but We waited and he texted us the time he arrived“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“My family has been ordering from Naya Union Square since it opened. The food is terrific and the staff is very good about getting orders right. Naya offers many different toppings and options and they get it right every time. Prices are more than fair and the packaging is environmentally friendly and keeps the food well contained and at proper temperatures. Naya is a regular go to for us.“
