“One of the best halal spots in NJ“

“• “The BBQ here is absolutely on point—juicy, smoky, and full of flavor!” • “Best chicken tikka and seekh kebabs I’ve had in a long time.” • “Grill items are perfectly marinated and cooked just right. 10/10!” • “You can really taste the traditional Pakistani BBQ spices.”“

“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!“

“From the moment we arrived, everything about the experience felt thoughtfully curated. The host was warm and welcoming, setting the tone for an evening that felt both relaxed and refined. The service throughout was attentive without being overwhelming, striking that perfect balance that’s hard to find.

One of the standout elements for me was the soft background music—it created such a calm atmosphere where you could actually hold a conversation without raising your voice, which I absolutely loved.

The food was equally impressive. Every dish was fresh, vibrant, and full of flavour. What really stood out was how well-balanced everything was—unlike some Indo-Chinese spots where the salt can be overpowering, here it was perfectly controlled, allowing the true flavours to shine through. The spice levels were also very adaptable, making it suitable for all tastes, whether you prefer something mild or a bit more of a kick.

Overall, it’s a place that delivers on every level—service, ambience, and food. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family.“

“Amazing food & service ! I surely recommend to try it and you will definetly keep on going again & again ! Once of the best in Sayreville Area !“

“first the place was homey and clean quiet and peaceful second when i first got the platter my first thoughts were hmm i wish they gave me more rice that being said once i ate the food i realize that this was PERFECT QUALITY EVERYTHING. the meat was not just SEASONED FOR COLOR BUT SEASON WITH FOREIGN SPICES i tasted a little bit of some type of curry i could see and taste the seasoning they put in the rice was so flavorful almost its own star what made me rlly say this quality was amazing was the fact that the cold amazing slice fresh tomato were absolutely high quality the fact that the tomatoes were that fresh and the salad was perfectly preserved the white sauce was amazing per most hala spot but there hot sauce wasn’t to spicy it was good enough for my stomach to not act up it came with pita bread which is a nice touch and was a reasonable priced my full rating would be 4.8 honestly“

“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.“

“Khan Baba Halal Meat & Grill is excellent! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.

Chef Rashid was amazing — very friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about his cooking. You can really taste the quality and care in every dish.

Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great halal food and outstanding service. Will definitely be coming back!“

“Visited tonight for a late-night craving and had a great experience. The staff was very warm and welcoming, even at a late hour.

I ordered the Chicken Karachi Naan and Chicken Seekh Kebabs—everything was excellent. I can confidently say these are some of the best chicken seekh kebabs in the Northeast. They were served hot, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with a great blend of spices. Honestly, you could easily enjoy two or three just with raita—no naan needed.

As big foodies who’ve tried just about every spot out there, this place really stands out. The atmosphere is clean and inviting, the staff is friendly, and even the restrooms are spotless.

If there were six stars, I’d give it without hesitation.“

“I experienced very good service from this location one of the very few places which use a pizza oven and they make it fresh they gave me as much Sauce as I required the only problem was that they had a few scraps on the floor but otherwise nice people good service and better food only one bathroom tho“

“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.“

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

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

“Raavi Naan Kabab was a very enjoyable experience overall. The food was flavorful, satisfying, and clearly made with care. The naan was fresh and delicious, and the kababs were well seasoned and cooked nicely. The menu offers comforting, rich flavors that make the meal feel authentic and enjoyable.

The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, and the service was friendly throughout the visit. While there may be small areas that could be improved, the overall experience was very positive. It is a solid place for a good meal, especially if you are looking for flavorful food and a relaxed dining experience. I would gladly come back.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“Food is so delicious, specially halwa puri and staff is very friendly and kind . Love this restaurant.“

“10/10 would definitely recommend. 🍔🍔“

“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“

“The food was delicious, I did not know what I wanted so I ask the girl what she suggested. It was a amazing the chicken was so good . I like healthy food . I will definitely be going back can’t wait to try The gyros“

“Amazing food like for real a huge fan of the quality, price and meat ratio. All fresh and flavorful halal meat. The family combo is so good for the price as well. Love telling my friends and family about this place. Plus owner is really nice! Love supporting“

“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.“
