Middle Eastern Restaurants near Newark, NJ

“I ate good. They park at a nice spot for walking traffic. Looks like good people and rating reflects their quality. Salchipapas went so flipping hard.Hello again, I tried the chicken parm wrap and the chicken+marinara melted in my mouth. The chicken was delicious and hot. Gonna try and eat everything there over time (except spicy food )Also the snicker bar was 25 cents cheaper than the lame rutger vending machines, but 25 cents more pricier than njit vending machine ?. It was $2.“

“As a newbie creating my own shwarma meal, I appreciated the countermans help and recommendation. Excellent meal! Tasty, filling. I’m so happy I went!“

“Dude, that burger was awesome! They ground the beef right there while we were ordering. The fries were perfectly crispy and so good. I think they coulda bundled the fries and a drink to make a few extra bucks and make ordering easier, though.

And I wish they had a soda fountain with refills for one price.“

“The chicken and beef combo was amazing.“

“One of the best places to get a good, healthy, hearty meal for the low.

This is one of the few line places that actually honors an extra meat portion. I don’t know if any other place in Newark that you can get basically a meal for two under $14. Disclaimer, I eat a lot.

The owner and the staff are super cool“

One of the best falafels in recent memory as well, with an amazingly creamy and light, yet not bitter tahini sauce . Spinach sumac triangles and hummus excellent as well ! Haven't been in a while and will be coming back regularly!“

It has a wide variety of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including sandwiches, omelette, salad and etc. The price is very reasonable.2. Very convenient for daily grocery, including fresh veg and coffee.3. Always friendly. For a couple of times when I was at work, I have package requiring signature.

Kid-friendliness: If your kid wants chicken fingers and fries, their’s are good.“

“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!“

“Teddy’s has a large selection of food for good prices! I tried the Spanakopita, falafel, the stuffed grape leaves, hummus, and greek salad. Everything was very good! I only wish they had a regular greek dressing and that the olives in the salad were pitted. Everything else was perfect delicious and satisfying! My partner had a grilled chicken salad and loved it. The service was great! They were very friendly and helpful!

Vegetarian options: Lots of options, but would love to see a vegan gyro with seitan or tofu (a veg protein).

Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegetarian options.“

“The visual appeal here is undeniable. This place delivers for culinary enthusiasts. The team handles requests with remarkable skill. This smaller establishment offers spotless conditions and a nice environment with metropolitan influence. I found this restaurant exceptional.“

“I've been coming here for years!!! The most authentic Greek food I've had here in the states. Everything on the menu is a hit. The food takes about 10 minutes if you order in-person. Everything is fresh, tasty, and quality. There is limited seating indoors but plenty of additional seating outside to immerse yourself in the Montclair streetscape. The owner, Efi, is extremely accommodating and professional. She cares deeply about the quality of food and service. I can't recommend this place enough. Fair warning though: you will crave Efi's Gyro after trying it!“

“I ordered 100 falafel sandwiches for a camp supporting refugees . Not only was the food amazing The owner delivered the food himself . I have lived in Hell’s Kitchen over 25 years and I just found my new spot for amazing food and service ! Thank you“
