Lebanese Restaurants near North Bergen, NJ

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ great time as always“

“Great food it was beautiful outside quiet. I enjoyed my dinner I recommend everyone to go.“

“the appetizers were stunning, great service and great atmosphere, friendly and professional waiters“

“Love this place. I’ve been 4 times and holds the crown of best Lebanese food in the city. On top of the amazing food, it’s cozy in the winter and the backyard patio in the summer is unbeatable. You can tell the owner Samaya works hard to make the place filled with amazing food and love, everyone is so sweet and welcoming.“

“The best authentic Lebanese food in NYC. A must-try. All there food is fresh and delicious and very generous quantities. Their Shawarma is soooo good, you can eat it in bowl or a sandwich with lots of yummy toppings. I also tried their falafel and it was super good!“

“We are frequent customers, but today was truly something else. Normally our visits are not this special, but Amelia completely changed our experience. This Midtown location is my favorite, and even though we live in New Jersey, we still make this trip to Auzatar every 3 months because it’s always worth the trip.

But today stood out in the best way. Amelia went above and beyond with her service — she was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive. She made us feel valued and comfortable from start to finish.

We love Amelia so much that we will be coming back with friends and family — but only on the days Amelia is here! She is truly exceptional and made our visit unforgettable.“

“Izzy is always accommodating & nice. I’ve always had a good food experience whenever I go.“

“Me encantó !!! Comida libanesa deliciosa y exquisita ♥️“

“Unique blend of Mediterranean and Mexican cuisine; the dips were all great and the watermelon salad was very refreshing. Chicken Shawarma Burrito was filling and had all the spices you want but could have used a bit of salsa to add moisture“

“Fast-casual Mediterranean done right. The food was unreal, the service was great, and everything came out quick. Pro tip: come with friends so you can order multiple dishes; you’ll want to try everything.

Fan favorite: the Crunchwrap Supreme 🌯
Stuffed with lamb shawarma, potatoes, toum, crunchy pita chips, and more. This was full-on flavor. Every element worked perfectly together, from the pickles to the meat. Truly addictive.

Other mains:
• Peri Peri Chicken Sandwich – juicy, spicy, insanely flavorful, and easily one of the best chicken sandwiches in the city.
• Lamb Shawarma Wrap – all the essentials of a perfect wrap. The toum absolutely steals the show, the lamb is perfectly seasoned, and the wrap comes out crispy for the perfect crunch.

Last but not least: the Kunafa Pancake 🥞
Not technically dessert… but it should be. The pancake is fluffy and delicious on its own, and the kunafa elements take it through the roof. Best served plain in my opinion, but you can also get it with sweet berries or even spicy fried chicken.

Don’t miss: the Crunchwrap and the Kunafa Pancake.
5/5 — no notes. 💫“

“Came here for dinner with friends, and it did not disappoint. The Caesar salad is easily one of the best I’ve had in NYC; it was fresh, crisp, and flavorful. The hummus and pita were solid, though not particularly remarkable. The rice was slightly dry, but still very tasty overall.“

“We ordered so many incredible signature dishes. The lamb moussaka was 5 stars! To really test them we ordered one of the best lahmanchoun’s we’ve tasted in NY! Cozy atmosphere, attentive waitstaff, Momo JC definitely exceeded our expectations!“

“I love the shawarma sandwich I bought , it was so delicious tasty and the good thing of this place, is that it has small section to buy groceries,like Arab bread which is so delicious.“

“Such a hidden gem in the neighborhood. The East Village really needs more classy places like this - everything here feels thoughtfully put together, from the food to the space to the small details. It has a calm, warm, understated elegance that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in.

It’s the kind of place where you can actually sit down and talk with friends like you would at home, no yelling over noise, no feeling rushed. In an area full of loud bars and fast food, this honestly feels like a breath of fresh air.

The grilled dishes and fish were great, the mezza selection was especially good. We finished with mint tea and pudding. It was perfect. This feels like one of those spots we’ll keep coming back to.“

“First of all, my chicken sandwich was SO flavourful, as well as my avocado zaartar salad. Thank you!“

“Been here twice and the food is omg fabulous and so aromatic . It’s also BYOB with no cork fee. Lovely like cozy spot in East Village. Shared this mixed grill platter with a friend and was just enough to fill us up.“

“I’ve been going to the Tripoli since I was a child (1975, so I was 2 years old). At first, the draw was their authentic pastries (their Birds Nests are TOP NOTCH!!!). To this day, I love their traditional Lebanese cuisine (their humus, babaghanouj and tabouli are AMAZING as is their shish-kabob and chicken shishtaouk). If ever you find yourself on the border between Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill Brooklyn (NYC), I can’t recommend them enough!!!“

“Everything good in that restaurant, the food the staff and portions are pretty generous , but the only thing I don’t like there it’s Ramadan and they selling Israeli dates which I don’t like , so please get Palestinian dates and get rid of the ones you have .“

“Great service, friendly staff AMAZING food.“

“Truly remarkable, we had to deliver food to 25 people in under 90 minutes, called semkeh, briefly spoke with Faisal, and somehow they delivered a catering order about 60 minutes later under our budget. That, and it was delicious. I will 1000% order dinner here more often and will tell my friends about them, too“

“Hi! Stopped into the UES’ Lava Shawarma for the second time, and everything was - once again - excellent. The two young men who work behind the counter there (at least in the early evening hours) were: polite, friendly, professional and hardworking. The environment is welcoming, and the food is so yummy. Both times I’ve been there, I ordered the falafel wrap. It was super delicious — and full of fiber and protein, without feeling heavy on my tummy; I might just become a more regular customer, even though I’m trying to be mindful about my food budget these days. : ) (Their pricing is affordable to most, I simply mean that as a general comment.) Thank you for taking such good care of me, gentlemen! Stay warm and well-fed, Kat PS The only thing I'd humbly suggest, if I may, would be to put out a few containers of olive oil for customers -- to drizzle on their falafel goodness.“

“I have Dined and I take Out once a week. The food is absolutely delicious and the restaurant from the choices, the prices, the quality is amazing. Fresh and made to order. The atmosphere is very welcoming. My favorite is the Lunch Menu. Thank you for always being pristine and delicious.“

“For my birthday, I had to do something special… and this felt like a full NYC luxury moment.

From the ambiance to the presentation, everything felt elevated.
The flavors? Rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced.

As a Lebanese girl, this one hit home 🇱🇧❤️

The details, the vibe, the service… 10/10.
Definitely one of those spots you go to for a special night.“

“Want to make your pallet dance? Of course you do! Boutros is the place to go from their tantalizing cocktails to their original baba ghanoush and falafel you’ll be simply amazed. Old school, traditional recipes with a twist of new flare. Mikey is a wizard for creating his cocktails. I had the pleasure of trying two of them that he created after thinking about them for 12 years and I highly recommend them the Garlic Gibson and the Bitter tree, both are amazing. Allen, who is the chef and owner and named this quaint little place after his dad will delight you with his specialties my Sister and I had the mushroom hummus. The short rib wraps are beautiful salad and baba ghanoush to name a few. Hurry up, you won’t be disappointed!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Helped by Anna

Was wonderful food and great service

She helped me so well and understands clients specific food preferences

Awesome service give her a raise !

Will come at Naya again when in New York

Food is yummy“

“Google maps got us here with no problem, but the restaurant name has changed.

I ended up sampling four different appetizers. They were all excellent. The service was attentive without being intrusive. I don't know if the noise level is an issue as only one other table was occupied while we were there.“

“I grabbed the Falafel Bowl from Naya - 39th & Broadway through MealPal and wow, it’s a flavor bomb! The creamy tahini and zesty spicy smoky red sauce kicked the fresh cabbage slaw and pickled cucumber up a notch. So savory and spiced perfectly—highly recommend!“

“Whenever I visit Manhattan, even though there are many restaurants and places to eat, I always find myself going to Naya Express for Lebanese and Syrian food — it’s consistently wonderful. The prices are fantastic, the place is clean and fast, and the staff is incredibly friendly.“

“Ali is the greatest server! The food was incredible. The drinks were on point! Will definitely be back.“

“Something different, I really enjoyed it.“

“We ordered for the first time tonight from Sammy, former proprietor of JuJu’s Bagels now transformed into El Toum. We ordered 4 items and they were ready for pickup in less than 25 minutes. The Mixed Kebab platter, Kofta Burger with fries, Falafel Sandwich with extra tahini sauce, and El Toum Appetizer were refreshingly homemade, tasted delicious, and proved outstanding bangs for the buck. More than enough food for a family of four with leftovers. This is a very welcome addition to a neighborhood missing this kind of fare. I highly recommend supporting this local business. Some of the best falafel and tabouli I’ve tasted in quite some time too!“

“This spot deserves recognition for consistent quality. Each dish represents quality ingredients. The team was prompt, effective, and friendly. NAYA offers the complete range of foods I like. I genuinely like this restaurant and you'll like it too.“

“The food and service is amazing!!“

“Absolutely delicious! Our first time trying and the food was amazing. Very flavorful and plated beautifully, even for take-out. We loved everything we tried and wish we ordered more! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be a new neighborhood staple for us! Definitely give it a try.“

“I’ve been going to Ibby’s since they first opened. If you want good food, this is the place to go. Their falafels are like no other!! They have the best falafels in N.J. Hands down!“

“I lack the vocabulary to properly praise this restaurant. The experience here defies expectations. All taste elements complement each other. The staff performed with remarkable skill. The workers were efficient and the cuisine was superb! Another visit is planned.“

“Naya never misses. Every time I come to eat here it never disappoints. Very generous portions and great tasty food! The manager, Maria, is super friendly and helpful she made my day. Her staff is amazing too! The store is also kept very clean. They will definitely see me coming back more.“

“The food is very good. We placed an order on the website and several locations came up. I live in Chelsea and chose the “Chelsea location for pickup. Turns out the Broadway and 25th location was being called “Garment District”. The “Chelsea” address actually Is in the Garment District on 7th Avenue. This is a national chain, but anyone in NYC knows the difference. I should have looked more closely at the address. First World problems, I know- but I’m putting it out there. We went to the wrong place and had to go to the right place with the wrong location name. They should relabel.
Very good food though, thanks!“

“Excellent food, large portions and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend NAYA!“

“This restaurant adds something missing from our neighborhood. The food satisfies and the service impresses. Her cheerful approach sincerely transformed my experience. They showcase their specialty effectively. I believe you'll enjoy this spot.“

“I LOVE IT!!! I worked nearby and my coworker introduces me to this place! It was my first time and the staff helped me through! She was so kind, wished I could catch her name!!! She made the service so amazing that I will definitely come back!!!!“
