“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)“

“Great food, all tasted fresh and didn't disappoint..we ordered the dinner for 2 that included 4 choices of cold starters and calamari that melts in your mouth and the salad was so good and the mix kebab and koftas over rice was good too..will definitely recommend and we shall be back! 😋“

“Great customer service, food is outstanding and always fresh,mild and spicy sauces. Great prices.“

“Really enjoyed the food at Gigi Halal Food! The falafel over rice was fresh, flavorful, and filling, and the burger was juicy and delicious. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and the service was great too. Definitely a good spot for tasty halal food. Would happily come back again!“

“We got food from them the other day and everyone in my family loved it. We ordered margarita pizza and my kids said it was the best they ever had. The baked manicotti was really good. The broccoli and cheese calzone was amazing, especially when dipped into the sauce. The Mac and cheese balls were delicious. The fries for me were a little too salty, but everyone else said they tasted really good. Can’t wait to be in their area again so we can order more food from them.“

“Amazing and tasty food!! Great service and great prices! High quality meats and chicken, all halal, with proper certificates!“

“I’ve ordered a few times all great experiences. Today I ordered in store at the kiosk and picked up, got home and although i got two combos (lamb k jerk chicken) upon eating the first few bites I realized both were only jerk chicken. I called however their voicemail isn’t set up. I wish someone could call me back and offer some kind of assistance/ discount 😩

UPDATE: The customer service team reached out to me immediately after my original review, apologized for the mix-up, and offered to make things right by replacing our two combo platters.

I stopped by Saturday night and showed the staff the email. They immediately knew what I was referring to, apologized again for the previous experience, and took care of my order with no hassle or confusion. My food came out quickly, the customer service was great, and the food quality was great as usual!

I really appreciate how quickly they responded to my concerns and that the same level of care carried over when I returned to the restaurant. Mistakes happen, but how a business responds matters. They addressed the issue immediately, made the resolution easy, and followed through on exactly what they promised. Definitely appreciated!“

“Delicious and healthy authentic middle eastern cuisine. Highly recommend !!!“

“Food is fresh & tasty. Staff are very nice too.“

“Couldn't have had a better experience. The cheesesteak and the platters were amazing. My kids are picky and they all loved it. On top of that, the people there were so kind and know how to treat people. Also, the madina sauce was off the hook. We will definitely be back!“

“Not sure why negative comments , I have been coming here for a couple weeks now and the food is amazing and fresh they even make the buns fresh. My favorite is the grilled chicken sandwich. The staff is also very nice“

“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 😋“

“If you’re looking for **authentic Bangladeshi food** that’s both **delicious and affordable**, *Affan* is the place to go! Located right here in New Jersey, this restaurant delivers an experience that feels like a warm, home-cooked meal — full of rich flavors, comforting spices, and genuine hospitality. We went with our **autistic daughter**, and the experience was truly wonderful. The staff were incredibly kind, patient, and understanding, making sure she felt completely comfortable the entire time. It’s clear that *Affan* is genuinely **autism-friendly**, and we deeply appreciated how calm, welcoming, and sensory-considerate the atmosphere was. Every dish we tried was exceptional — the biryani was fragrant and perfectly spiced, the curries were flavorful without being overwhelming, and the parathas were soft and freshly made. Portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and the cleanliness of the restaurant is impressive. You can really tell that they care about both their food and their guests. Whether you’re Bangladeshi and missing home-cooked flavors or just love discovering new cuisines, *Affan* will exceed your expectations. It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines **authentic taste, affordability, cleanliness, and inclusivity** so beautifully. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back“

“Great food, love the jerk chicken option. Location/parking area was kinda weird then again I don’t usually go here. I did an online order and pick up so it was it quick, no line what so ever. Anyways will definitely get more when we’re in the mood for some halal chicken and rice.“

“I frequent the Union location for lunch, and it’s always a great experience! My favorite is the falafel gyro—it’s delicious and never disappoints. I also love the chicken and lamb platters, which are always fresh and flavorful. The young ladies who work there are always so friendly and welcoming, and the customer service is excellent. Great food, great portions, and great service! I’ll definitely keep coming back.“

“good food .... great price“

“​I got the sliders and tenders, and they were cooked to absolute perfection—juicy on the inside, perfectly crispy on the outside, and packed with flavor. The spice levels are incredibly accurate, and that Dave's sauce is pure gold. On top of the amazing food, the service was fast and the staff was super friendly.“

“This Turkish pizza spot out did the rest of pizza places in New Jersey! I love their thin pizza and you cannnot come here without trying their buffalo chicken pizza! The concept is so luxury and the quality is super upscale this experience was a 10/10 for me and I definitely recommend to try!!!!“

“I luv it I would recommend Juicys💕💕💕“

“Absolutely amazing experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The food was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried exceeded expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcomed from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was spotless, and you can really tell they take pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. Service was fast and efficient without ever feeling rushed, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. And the prices were very reasonable for the quality you receive—great value all around. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!“

“Best food ever !!!!

We come out of state for a game in MetLife stadium last year and the food was amazing we comeback again after one year and man !! Khalid the owner is amazing ! Please with a welcome smile ! Man the door is the same quality ! Best food ever! And great home made lemonade !“

“Just had the Monday thru Friday lunch special and added feta to my salad. With a soda it was just under $20. Absolutely delicious.“

“Thank you for the warning before I burned my face off with the reaper chicken strip 🤓🥺 Food is tasty, staff is friendly, it’s a whole vibe..LOVE IT!! 💗💗💗💗💗“

“The Turkish food here is of high quality. We had the mixed platter of cold appetizers and the mixed meat entree. So yummy! The host and waiters were very welcoming and efficient. When they made a mistake and forgot a side we ordered, they still brought it late and did not charge us. Then they brought us tea and baklava on the house. They want you to leave happy. The sign of a well-run business. We’ll be back for sure.“

“My friend and I stopped by for the first time, and we were so impressed! The burgers and fries were absolutely delicious, the customer service was wonderful, and you can truly taste the quality in the food. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Definitely a 10/10—we’ll be back!“

“This place has the best shawarma in all New Jersey, the sauces are amazing, the food is incredible, the workers are the kindest people! My husbands first time eating shawarma and he loved it! He keeps asking me to go eat there all the time! You need to go early because their shawarmas flies, they sell like just baked bread!“

“The best coffee ever and the desserts 5 stars“

“Okay people one dish i had was so good first time trying fried liver, 😵 and let me tell you it was so good 👍 very happy the waiter told me to try it. And I recommend everyone to try it.
I also had lamb dish that was very fresh and tasty 😋 along with Turkish beer 🍺 sitting in the back for the skyline view makes for great dinning experience.
This restaurant know how please. When im in the area im definitely eating here. Thanks for the meals with superb service.
Cheers“

“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“

“Easily my favorite place in Nutley now, I'll be back for more Turkish tea, a whole pot if can be—and to try their Kazandibi dessert. An amazing breakfast selection till noon & lunch menu after till 4PM. Looking forward to many more visits!“

“نكهات الطعام والخدمة مذهلة للغاية“

“Best chicken tikka cheese roll especially on paratha in NJ. And trust me, I have tried plenty from North to South counties. Love the authenticity of Pakistan food, tastes likely home kitchen. I love the ambience of cultural connection. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food and great customer service. Overall an amazing experience“

“I am a huge Gyro fan and this was one of the best places I've experienced, I've been several times and each visit was great. The staff was very friendly. The lamb is good, the chicken is good with hot sauce and the jerk chicken gyro was good. I encourage you all to visit.“

“Great food 🥘 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I was introduced to this place about 6 years ago and I continue to still go to this place whenever I am craving a good gyro! I have moved and still continue to only go here and buy gyros! I ate there recently with my best friend (something I never do is eat there) so when I ate there the staff was very welcoming and friendly and even asked about the service to make sure it was perfect for us! I don’t really like gyros from anywhere else there’s has a special touch! I hope everyone can experience it!“

“Humble seems to be the best word to summarize this restaurant. The men who run it seem to have a great rapport with their customers; they’ve been there for 20+ years and it shows. They were kind and accomodating. The food was plated carefully and was pretty taste. My only complaints were putting margarine on my pancakes without asking and the tiny plastic utensils, which left my hands covered in syrup. However both of those go to the restaurant being unpretentious. There’s no atmoshere to speak of but it was clean. I’d eat here again but probably wouldn’t go out of my way.“

“GERMAN DONER KEBAB - AN ENLIGHTENMENT If you're from Berlin, it feels like there's a kebab store on every other corner. So I can recognize and judge a kebab when I see it. Even just leaving Berlin and Brandenburg, the kebab experience changes within Germany. The further you get away from Berlin, the worse the kebabs get. Some time ago in New York, I discovered one or two places trying to make a kebab. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find a proper kebab in New York, despite the name kebab. What was being sold was called a kebab, but had very little to do with a kebab and tasted even less like a kebab. All the more enlightenment then... the recommendation of a friend living in Brooklyn. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. And then the first kebab there since 2018 here in New York. I can't even describe how happy I was. It looked like a kebab, it tasted like a kebab and came pretty close to a kebab from Berlin. Really well made. Incl. tax 12.51 dollars is a bit steep, but still good value for New York. The portion was good and filling. Everything is really fresh and well seasoned. The bread was just as it should be, thin and crispy. This was pretty much the best kebab I've had in a very, very long time (with the exception of one visit to Berlin). I will definitely go back there again. GERMAN DONER KEBAB - EINE ERLEUCHTUNG Wenn man aus Berlin kommt, hat man gefühlt an jeder zweiten Ecke einen Dönerladen. Ich kann also einen Döner erkennen und beurteilen, wenn ich ihn sehe. Allein schon Berlin und Brandenburg verlassend wird das mit dem Döner innerhalb von Deutschland anders. Je weiter man sich von Berlin entfernt, desto schlechter werden die Döner. In New York entdeckte ich schon vor einiger Zeit den einen oder anderen Anbieter mit dem Versuch, einen Döner zu machen. Bisher konnte ich leider in New York trotz Bezeichnung Döner keinen ordentlichen Döner entdecken. Das was da verkauft wurde, heißt zwar Döner, hatte mit Döner aber recht wenig zu tun und schmeckte noch viel weniger nach einem Döner. Um so mehr dann die Erleuchtung... die Empfehlung eines Freundes in Brooklyn lebend. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. Und dort dann der erste Döner seit 2018 hier in New York. Ich kann gar nicht beschreiben, wie sehr ich mich gefreut hatte. Es sah aus wie ein Döner, es schmeckte wie ein Döner und kam schon recht nah an einen Döner aus Berlin heran. Richtig gut gemacht. Incl. Tax 12,51 Dollar ist zwar sportlich, aber für New York wiederum preiswert. Die Portion ordentlich und sättigend. Wirklich alles frisch und gut gewürzt. Das Brot genau so wie es sein muss, dünn und knusprig. Also das war seit sehr sehr langer Zeit so ziemlich der beste Döner (mit Ausnahme einem Besuch in Berlin), den ich seit langer Zeit gegessen habe. Dahin kehre ich auf alle Fälle wieder zurück. -------------------------------------------------“

“Bence bolgenin en iyisi, yemekler çok lezzetli, hiç bir şey baştan salma değil. Çakışanlar Cok saygılı. Amerika’da gittiğim en iyi restaurant diyebilirim ve iyi bir Türk yemeği yemek isteyenlere tavsiye ederim. Adana kebap, lahmacun ve kuş başı pidesi ni denedim ve bayildim. İnşallah diğerleri gibi bozmadan devam ederler.“

“I went to their Grand opening today!!! The food is fresh and tastes delicious!!! Can’t wait to go back, friendly owners, great location and late hours! What more can one ask for!!!!“

“Thanks a lot for everything. Great pricing and phenomenal customer service. I don't know how they have this many great products but I don't mind for me the more the better so I dont have to go to any other market but Anatolia Market“

“I ordered Chicken Biryani and Chicken Kabab through Uber Eats. After I ordered , I realized that I forgot to order Nan. So I called the restaurant and ask them that what can I do now. The person(probably the owner) replied , I will add Nan and whenever you visit, give me 2 Dollars. That was really a nice gesture which I will remember and must appreciate(along with the debt on me).
Talking about food, I had eaten many Biryanis in USA but it is one of the best real Pakistani biryani. Kababs were also fresh and tasty. I highly recommend those who want to have Halal and real Pakistani taste, must visit.“

“Best restaurant in NJ. Always fresh tasty and delicious food. A must try!“

“Went to slap burger with my family, came from New York and stopped to try for the first time, hammad was more than amazing and so was the food. He even gave some extra food to go. Now that’s what I call top tier service, if he’s not a manager they need to seriously consider making him one. 🫶🏾“

“Westside Shawarma is back with a vengeance. Never have I seen so much demand for a small food spot. Literal posts on the internet asking about this place. I was excited to see the G.O.A.T return, and more so with a proper shop. I got so excited, I ordered two chicken platters and only managed to finish one. Warmed it up two days later and it tasted just as good as when I got it. Great to have you guys back!“
