“This is one of the best Afghan Kebab places, I've ever been in USA. It's guised as Fast food and indeed orders are served super fast. Lots of types on cooking like kebabs, schwarma, jerk chicken & the owner is super nice & humble. Kabuli Rice 🍚 hits the right spot.
They've an entertainment TV which plays Afghan or religious channels depending on the time of the day.
I have tried many of them including sweet. I keep bringing my family there as it's totally worth it. A+++++
Also it's open late till 2 AM!“

“I came in and ordered a Dhoom chicken sandwich and some fried chicken and I noticed they had biryani. In my twenty-two years of living I have never seen biryani on the menu of any halal platter/chicken shack place so I gave it a try expecting it to be mid. They are on par with a few of the restaurants in the area with that biryani and it's actually pretty cheap too at 12 bucks. They put a fair amount of meat in there too, like three pieces with a lot of rice. The Dhoom chicken sandwich was actually fresh and had some good toppings (onions, tomatoes) with tasty sauce. The fried chicken was a little greasy though. Even though Piscataway and NB are full of halal places if you're looking for something unique try these guys.“

“We went to Gulberg Xpress for a late-night bite and were surprised by the excellent food. Despite the late hour, we took a chance, thinking the food might not be fresh, but it was. The kabab roll and zinger burger we ordered for the kids were great - the kabab was juicy and tender, and the burgers were satisfying. We returned the next day for Eid dinner and ordered a mixed grilled platter, murg chana, butter chicken, and chicken tikka over rice. The portions were huge, and we ate as much as we could, packed the rest. We were impressed by the amount and taste of food, and the price was good too. We'll definitely go back, insha Allah. Even The chai was also amazing, thanks to the chef.“

“Jersey Boys Kitchen is a typical halal place with some extra offerings. I had the chicken platter on my visit and also ordered a buffalo chicken slice. The slice was good, but it was not as spicy as other buffalo chicken slices that I've had before. The chicken platter was good. The chicken itself was a bit dry and when tasted without the white sauce was somewhat bland. All together the platter tasted very good and the portion was as you would expect from a halal place—big. The service was quick and easy. There wasn't a memorable interaction, but my food came out quick and was packed correctly with utensils. All in all, this was a good place to eat with some room for improvement.“

“If you’re in the area this is the place to order your food. There’s also online option to order from. This has been my most satisfied Halal restaurant experience. Clean environment, spacious and nice restaurant design set up. I got chicken and lamb over rice with vegetables combo. It’s an explosion of remarkable taste. Customer service was excellent and their meal comes in good portion too - so you get more for the very affordable price.“

“It is good to have fried chicken in the house.“

“A place filled with warmth and hospitality!

David, the manager, along with the entire front desk team on duty at 7:00 PM on Friday, December 19, 2025, surpassed all expectations through their exceptional professionalism and attentiveness. The availability of halal dining options was particularly commendable, allowing my children the freedom to dine according to their preferences. I extend my sincere appreciation to corporate leadership for their thoughtful inclusion of the Muslim community. Additionally, the hot chicken prepared by David was outstanding and greatly enjoyed.“

“There is no dine in but they have take out food and their chicken and mutton is awesome. They should have one shop in Monroe Township NJ

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap car parking and employees are helpful to keeps supplies in your car“

“I came here specifically for the HalwaPuri this morning, and it absolutely did not disappoint! There is nothing like a traditional breakfast to start the day right. The Puri was perfectly fluffy, light, and not too oily—just the way it should be.
The star of the show for me was the balance between the sweet and savory.

The Halwa had the perfect level of sweetness and a great texture, while the ChanaMasala (chickpea curry) and the potato bhaji had that authentic, spicy kick that makes #DesiFood so addictive. Mixing the sweet halwa with the spicy gravy on a piece of hot puri is a total #Foodie dream!“

“Lovely auntie makes the best samosa chaat I’ve ever had! Literally so mouthwatering“

“It is good to have fried chicken in the house.“

“Awesome food..thank you..“

“Amazing food with friendly customer service. They treat you like a family and understand customer needs. I wanted my mix platter with broccoli and zucchini which is not in their menu, they were able to provide that for me. My son love their buffalo wings dip in sauce and hot wings. Their fried chicken is always fresh and delicious! I also recommend their cheesesteak, always fresh, hot and juicy!

Vegetarian options: They can make you veggie sub, rice with veggies, Mac and cheese and more

Parking: You can park in front of the store for curbside pickup or at the parking lot with many spots to park at.

Kid-friendliness: They have seats where your little one and sit and enjoy their meal, kids friendly customer service.“

“Our go to burger place, love their crispy chicken burger, look forward to their new milkshake flavors!“

“Fantastic food, experience, and people! I had the Butter Chicken with rice and it hit the spot! Quality, fair prices, and full of flavor. I have a lot more dishes to try so I'll certainly be back sooner than later!! 😋👍👍“

“best grill chicken platter and zinger love it fresh chicken always“

“Best waffles I’ve ever had. Not sure what they put in the batter but I’ve never had a waffle that tastes as good as the ones here.

All the other breakfast sandwiches are also really good, and the prices are very reasonable. I’ve only had their breakfast so I can’t comment on their other food.

I’d mostly recommend takeout here, yes there is a seating area but it’s kind of small.

Dietary restrictions: Halal“

“10/10 would definitely recommend. 🍔🍔“

“This place needs more acknowledgement, the food here is so fresh and incredible! The workers here are so kind and knowledgeable about their cuisine, and immediately let us know a single platter was good enough for 2 people. Will absolutely be coming back here“

“After a tasty round of appetizers including tangy baked Fava beans, creamy smooth hummus, baba ghanoush and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside falafel, we feasted on two lamb dishes, one of which was perfectly grilled, and an order of couscous with vegetables. I still remember today how great everything tasted. Service was friendly and efficient and the decor included lamps and accessories imported from Morocco. Portions were generous and they provide containers for the leftovers. You can only eat so much! Highly recommended.“
