Halal Restaurants near Lyndhurst, NJ

“Tried for the first time yesterday, they exceeded my expectations. My cheesesteak was so good I could have ate another. I’m definitely coming back for more. Great food, fair prices, awesome service“

“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.“

“Best gyro I’ve ever had hands down! The lentil soup is also fantastic. Highly recommended for takeout! (You can eat there but it’s small)“

“What a beautiful restaurant the food is so fresh and delicious made with love. Absolutely hidden HEM. I will definitely go there as much as I can when I’m up north but it must try and you will not regret it. Thank you.“

“5/5
Food, taste, prices, portions. Everything is 5+stars.
We ordered Philly cheese steak, chicken burger w/ fries and chicken & lamb on rice and it all tasted so delicious and cooked to the right temperature and so fresh.
So glad that our vacation in NJ included eating at this yummy food cart.“

“Jersey Platers is seriously a 10/10! The food is always fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The plates are AMAZING — packed with so much food and everything tastes incredible. And the big fries?? They do not play around! You get a huge portion and they’re cooked perfectly every time.

The service is just as good as the food — super friendly and welcoming. You can tell everything is made with care. If you haven’t tried Jersey Platers yet, you’re missing out. Definitely one of my favorite spots and I’ll keep coming back! 🔥🍽️“

“The food was amazing, I ordered the falafel sandwich which was $8 and the chicken over rice which was also $8. Both were well made and the portions were generous. This is a bang for your buck considering how expensive meals are in this area. They even have a green sauce available that they make themselves.

Kazi himself despite a bit of a language barrier is an awesome person to speak to, he is generous in terms of helping his clients out both in pricing and with his sympathy. The service is awesome and overall I would recommend this halal cart/food to anyone out there!“

“The perfect place to stop by for food if you’re around the area or done with Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island. The guys that run this food cart are awesome. The food is awesome. The price is awesome. $7 for a generous portion of chicken over rice, that also tastes great is unbeatable. They fill you up with seasoned rice, tender chicken, fresh salad, and delicious pita. This is now my go to stop if I’m ever around the area.“

“The food is delicious!
I got the original chicken with rice platters and one chicken mix gyro wrap. Excellent and momma is really hard to please. We’re transplants from NYC and with NYC being at the top of the dining out / take home capital it is tough for many States and counties to compete with the flavor and cooking styles easily found in NYC just around every corner.

OMGRYRO easily hits all the marks with the exception of the Jerk Chicken. Jerk Chicken flavor profile is no bueno in my humble opinion and that is because it doesn’t come close to tasting like jerk seasoning and can’t compare to true jerk style flavor.

Everything else is we ordered and devoured tasted great, high on flavor with decent portion sizes.

Hope they put the Jerk Season flavor to the chicken NYC style.“

“I grew up in NYC so I’m no stranger to halal carts. Since I’ve moved to JC (which I know is only across the river, but the food scene really is different), I have yet to find my go-to halal spot… until now! I paid $10 for a chicken over rice. The chicken was so juicy and they were very generous with the chicken and sauce. So delicious but also so dangerous that I’m so close by“

“First time trying both the Chicken & Beef Doner Boxes.I was pleasantly surprised how GOOD everything was! The flavourful meats with fresh veggies and feta, with or without sauces, all combined with the unique bread is a great new dinning experience unlike anything else. I highly recommend giving this a try ! We will definitely be return customers ! The ladies were quite helpful and informative about the food and it's history as well as super nice !“

“The food here is absolutely outstanding. Every dish is packed with rich, fresh flavors that stand out from the first bite to the last. You can tell the chefs put real care into selecting quality ingredients and preparing everything with precision. The textures and ingredients are all consistently excellent, making each plate memorable and satisfying. If you’re looking for a place where the food alone makes the visit worth it, this restaurant delivers on every level.“

“Very nice and clean place to eat from and respectful service“

“I’m visiting NJ (lived here for a long time) and wanted to eat some of my favorite foods. I ordered dinner from port of peri peri and it was perfectly cooked but missing my fries. I let that be known to the restaurant and received a small refund. Next night, I ordered dinner again and I received a large order of fries on the house as well as a discount card for 5% for dine in orders valid for one more week. Amazing customer service. If I were in NJ longer, I would surely order again! The food is absolutely delicious 😋“

“Food is great and service is always amazing!“

“My husband and I went to Forefeathers tonight for dinner, it was excellent. The chicken tenders were delicious, the pink dipping sauce was very good. The chicken sandwich that my husband had to amazing! Coleslaw was delicious, plenty of sauce and pickles. Fries were excellent….definitely will go back.“

“Sadiya was amazing thankyou so much for the amzing service and delghtful food“

“stumbled upon this food truck at 95 Wall Street, and it was such a pleasant surprise! The service was quick and super friendly, which is perfect for the busy Wall Street crowd. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot—I could tell they really care about quality. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the generous portions. The menu had a great variety, so whether you’re in the mood for something light or hearty, you’ll find it here. Definitely one of the best lunch spots in the area. I’ll be coming back often!“

“Great food. Wonderful selection! Quality food!!!!“

“great food and great prices“

“Highest quality halal food cart in the city! The owner always treats me right. The chicken over rice is amazing and the spicy/brown rice is the BEST in NYC.“

“Tasty food and awesome service! Chicken shawarma pita is my go to at Omar’s. Their take out options are great with a friendly and efficient service even when it’s busy. A solid choice if you are looking for lunch options around Bryant Park“

“Great service I recently went because a friend recommended and was not disappointed I ordered the beef gyro sandwich very good would recommend.“

“I always come here for chicken over rice when I’m low on cash but need a good meal. Always quick, cheap af ($7 exactly. For reference, a cart nearby sells for $12 + tax), and tastes great. The dude is always so kind and make sure the order is served how you want.“

“First time coming here and I got to say it has been really good, we ordered the loaded shawarma fries with Mozzarella and I gotta say it was absolutely delicious. Fries crispy the meat on top is good and it was a nice appetizer. We had the zatar pizza and it was a nice crispy crust with a good zatar flavor served fresh and hot. Finally had that cheese burger with fries and it was really good nice and juicy and the fries were seasoned and crispy.Overall really recommend this place.“

“This is hands down the best halal food truck in NYC and I’d fr fight somebody about it. I love these guys, especially Ahmed that guy really knows how to make you feel like a valued customer. First time he called me habibi it fr warmed my heart 🥹 The food is top tier, always tastes great and they don’t skimp out on you. I never go to another truck if I can help it and if you’re ever in the area and looking for something tasty that won’t break the bank, go see these guys 100%“

“I’ve tried over a dozen Halal carts in the city, and this one has by far the best chicken over rice. Once you try it, you’ll go out of your way to come here every time you crave halal.

The chicken is juicy and always perfectly flavored and cooked. All ingredients are fresh. The sauces are great, and the red sauce is VERY spicy (love it)

The folks running it are super friendly and the cart is kept clean.

I’m legitimately concerned that once people find out about this place, there will lines around the block. It’s one viral TikTok away from becoming an overcrowded tourist spot.“

“Great food!! Extremely friendly, and accommodating staff! When we come back to the area we will definitely be going back here! Highly recommend!“

“Super yummy! Nice service to the customers❤️“

“Good ?“

“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.“

“Dave’s Hot Chicken is a great place if you love spicy food. The Reaper hot burger is insanely hot but full of flavour and cooked perfectly. The chicken is juicy, crispy, and fresh every time. Portions are good and the taste really stands out. Not for the faint-hearted, but a must-try for anyone who enjoys serious heat and bold flavours.“

“lamb chicken combo plate was magnificent !“

“Always been a fan of halal food carts since they are affordable and filling at the same time. This cart in particular offers a buy 10 get 1 free card/promotion their food is also consistent and well prepared in front of you as well, highly recommended this spot for the best bang for your buck“

“Royal Grill Halal on 44th & 6th Ave is a true Midtown gem (I've worked nearby for 30 years).

Highly recommended for delicious food and a nice experience every time.“
