“I love Lasani restaurant. Their prices are very reasonable and so when my husband and I are looking to eat out but not fancy it’s our go-to spot. Food is delicious, veg and non veg options, fast service. I like the environment, casual dining. Open late, too! Lasani is one of my favorite restaurants in Jersey City. When I want to eat out in a casual way, this is my spot. Highly recommend the roti!

Vegetarian options: I love the Chana, sometimes they have different veggies like cauliflower, spinach, depends on the day. Their roti is vegan and it’s soooo soft and good.

“THE BEST STORE IN JERSEY CITY WHEN IT COMES TO RESPECT . Theirs a woman in their that is the heart beat of the store she's so sweet and patient , makes my day to just see her when I'm coming to and from work, that pizza is thick and perfect for a drunk night out or if you want something to filling . but the Vegetable Samosa and the fruits and Vegetables are why I go , best prices in town too! 7 dollar pizza pies and 150 samosas I'm getting hungrier the more that I type . DON'T GO TO FRANKS NEXT DOOR , You won't get the respect and better prices this place easily offers. and they HAVE THEIR OWN PARKING LOT.“

“So I just had iftaar with their tikka paratha roll that I had got last Sunday evening. It just tasted so good even though I ate it cold straight from the fridge. 😊 It didn't taste as good when I had ordered it on site. Then, without me even asking for anything, they remade it and gave it to me to take it home with me even though I had told them I was full. 😊😊 The largest portions I have ever seen anywhere, good food, clean, best interior and decor, excellent service. I have yet to see a BETTER or even equally nice place in NYC. 🤍 Jo baat hay. Food makes/breaks the mood.“

“Went there in Lower east village Manhattan to have halal Tikka rolls. Had to wait for a good 45 minutes for our order. Small place run by a family, I suppose. Rolls were good and spicy. The place was so so with little attention to regular cleaning since they appeared really short handed. Hope they can improve the ambiance further.“

“Hajveri is a wonderful new Pakistani restaurant that truly feels like home. Everything is freshly made and full of flavor. We ordered the sheesh kebabs, samosas, lunch special naan with aloo gobi and aloo palak, and the chicken biryani. Every dish was delicious and tasted homemade.

What stood out most was how fresh and comforting the food felt—it honestly reminded me of meals my mom would make. The flavors were authentic, the portions were satisfying, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the cooking.

I’m so glad to have found this place and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend supporting this new local gem!“

“It's a vibey little spot, pretty cheap, definitely an interesting authentic feel. Dude spoke no english (totally ok) but was friendly and hooked me up as I pointed to stuff. Worth a stop in, not the best food i've ever had but solid. I'd go back if I needed a quick bite. $10 flat filled me up.“

“The atmosphere is very welcoming, warm and calm. The food was amazing, the service was excellent and the coffee was exceptional. I would come back here if I’m in the area to try other things on their menu as they have several types of coffees I’d love to try.“

They have chicken, beef, fish, goat, biryani and shush cabab, they also have a big variety of sweets and chai.“

Saw someone say to try the blueberry biscuit and it is a MUST TRY! Pairs really well with the chicken. Overall I’m very satisfied and would definitely come back.“

“My wife and I dined at Kashmir 9 twice during our recent stay in New York, and both visits were excellent.

On our first visit, we ordered the chicken biryani, which was flavorful, aromatic, and generously portioned. We enjoyed it so much that we came back again. On our second visit, we tried the combo rice with two chicken dishes, and it was another satisfying meal.

Kashmir 9 is a simple, unpretentious restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The owner was very friendly and made us feel at home, which made both visits even more enjoyable.“

“Mashallah Pakistani Restaurant in Brooklyn is a wonderful destination for anyone seeking authentic, flavorful Pakistani cuisine that satisfies both the appetite and the soul. From the moment you walk in, the warm, welcoming atmosphere and inviting aromas of aromatic spices set the stage for a memorable dining experience that transports you straight to the heart of South Asia. The menu features an impressive array of traditional dishes bursting with bold, authentic flavors. The biryani is a true standout, fragrant, perfectly spiced, and loaded with tender meat, while the rich, creamy curries like nihari, haleem, and karahi deliver deep, satisfying flavors that keep customers coming back. The freshly baked naan, sizzling seekh kebabs, and tender tikka are equally impressive, all prepared with quality halal ingredients and genuine care. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the overall value is excellent for the quality you receive. Service is friendly, attentive, and accommodating, with staff happy to guide newcomers through the menu. Whether you're a longtime fan of Pakistani cuisine or trying it for the first time, Mashallah Pakistani Restaurant delivers an authentic, delicious, and truly satisfying experience worth revisiting.“

“Alhumdullilah everything is halal here. No frills, nothing fancy here whatsoever but the food will hit the spot for many that work or shopping around the area. It's on 33 Street opposite of Macy's and Madison Square Garden.

I have been coming here for a very long time even before they switched hands. I still continue to patronage here many years later.

It's now the only dine-in halal food place that actually serves Spanish halal food I think as of this review, of the entire Manhattan Island, outside of Mexican Latino halal food that are slowly popping up. The other halal Spanish spot that used to be by Queens Bridge few blocks away from El Ber and who also served halal Jamaican food there too sadly no longer exist and turned into a American halal burger joint before COVID.

In addition to their halal Spanish food menu, they also have American fast food and also a surprisingly pretty good Indian food menu there as well. Just advising everyone food definitely better just around lunch time when it's out the kitchen. Later in the evening doesn't look too fresh or appetizing but hey, sometimes I still come around anyway at that time. And every now and then I'll come for breakfast. And that's good too

There is plenty of seating too.“

“These street carts were peppered all over NYC. Am unsure why certain carts have longer queues than the rest even though they were all from the same franchise. Nothing much to comment on the taste. I didn't like the mess on the plate which was heavily slathered in white sauce. Reasonably priced. Portions are huge.“

“The meals here come with a guarantee of satisfaction. I experienced culinary bliss at . The people serving us were efficient and got everything right. This spot succeeds through personalized service. Excellent cooking with the perfect atmosphere...“

“Incredible depth in flavor with every bite I had of the anchari chicken. Service was 10/10, offered samples without asking, must’ve known I was curious what to get. Every dish look uniquely delicious, I could keep coming back here for a lifetime. Thank you“

“My first time trying this place exceeded what I hoped to find. Their menu covers many types of dishes. Workers here are incredibly kind and provide assistance with anything you ask. Nearly everything on the menu satisfies. Give this spot an opportunity – they earn it.“

“A True Home Away From Home!
I visit Sweetness Restaurant on Coney Island every single day, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best spots around. The food is always incredible, but what truly keeps me coming back daily is the unmatched hospitality.
A massive shoutout to Shoaib Bhai! He provides exceptional service every single time. He doesn't just treat you like a customer; he treats you like family. He is incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely care-taking. Walking into the restaurant and seeing him instantly makes you feel right at home.
If you're in Coney Island, you have to visit. Incredible vibes, great food, and the absolute best service and food from Sweetness“

“I love this place, food is so good, I like seekh kabab, my wife she likes Pakoda kadhi, their aloo paratha, goat karahi, chicken karahi is so good, what i like is that they make fresh kabab as you order, not pre cooked kababs. and those two girls working there I don't know their names are so efficient, always smiling and very attentive. Thank you guys for being awesome.“
