Halal Restaurants near Nutley, NJ

“Love those place. It was my first time here. We came a group of 5. The place is super clean. It’s a family restaurant. Everyone is super friendly. The food was amazing. Ordered humus with chips as an appetizer. We ordered a variety of things: Grilled mixed (chicken, lamb, beef with fries and rice), whole fish, salad 🥗 , eggplant. For dessert, it was a goatcheese with jce cream. Trust me and taste it. You can bring your own wine. Their Iced tea is good. Definitely coming back.“

“I recently visited food street at Secaucus and had an amazing experience. Despite the menu being on smaller side, everything that we tried was delicious.I went with their signature Hangry beef Burger and it did not disappoint. The patty was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and tender.
The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better.
Overall, street food is definitely worth a visit.I’ll definitely be back!“

“Don't underestimate this place. I've been to 5 star restaurants and in my opinion this eatery shares some of the same qualities that I admire in upscale restaurants: consistency and deliciousness.

The people behind the register are friendly but quiet. I go here during week when I want something that is fresh and high in protein. They provide you with generous portions so if you workout and need a solid amount of protein and carbs this is my favorite in the area. I enjoy eating here more than Chipotle, higher quality meat with bolder flavors and they serve uniform portions of chicken. They don't cut corners here.

The chicken platter is my favorite and I highly recommend it to people wanting to try something new. With the chicken platter I enjoy the fresh zesty flavors of onions, tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and tzatziki sauce on the side. I recommend ordering an extra sauce with your order. WIth the colder months I'd also recommend the their lentil soup. It was really tasty!

Side note: I don't recommend the cheese burger. It's not their specialty. Stick with the chicken platter.“

“I grew up in NYC so I’m no stranger to halal carts. Since I’ve moved to JC (which I know is only across the river, but the food scene really is different), I have yet to find my go-to halal spot… until now! I paid $10 for a chicken over rice. The chicken was so juicy and they were very generous with the chicken and sauce. So delicious but also so dangerous that I’m so close by“

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

“What a beautiful restaurant the food is so fresh and delicious made with love. Absolutely hidden HEM. I will definitely go there as much as I can when I’m up north but it must try and you will not regret it. Thank you.“

“I was craving some classic New York-style Halal Guys cart food for dinner on a weekday night, and a quick Google search led me to this gem in Hoboken. The reviews were glowing—and after trying it myself, I can say they were absolutely spot on.

There was already a small line (3–4 people) when I got there, which was a good sign. I went for the classic: meat over rice. The beef steak was thinly sliced, perfectly grilled, and packed with smoky, bold flavors. The yellow rice was aromatic and tasty, pairing beautifully with the meat. Another highlight was the freshness of the salad on the side—crisp lettuce, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes—all super fresh and refreshing. Overall, the portion size was huge. I couldn’t even finish it in one sitting.

Overall, this place checks all the boxes: affordable, fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Definitely worth the stop if you’re in the area. Highly recommend!“

“The food is delicious!
I got the original chicken with rice platters and one chicken mix gyro wrap. Excellent and momma is really hard to please. We’re transplants from NYC and with NYC being at the top of the dining out / take home capital it is tough for many States and counties to compete with the flavor and cooking styles easily found in NYC just around every corner.

OMGRYRO easily hits all the marks with the exception of the Jerk Chicken. Jerk Chicken flavor profile is no bueno in my humble opinion and that is because it doesn’t come close to tasting like jerk seasoning and can’t compare to true jerk style flavor.

Everything else is we ordered and devoured tasted great, high on flavor with decent portion sizes.

Hope they put the Jerk Season flavor to the chicken NYC style.“

“THIS PLACE IS AWESOME !!!! I came from Canada and wanted to try something other than Halal Guys. This place blows them out of the water. Ordered:

1) Chicken Platter - AWESOME !!!! Portion was good and flavor was sooooooo good

2) Philly Cheese Steak - OMG !!!! The hero/sub was sooo good that it is a "must have"

3) Mixed Gyro - ALHUMDULLIAH !!!! The Sandwich / Pita was so packed that it took time to eat and I enjoyed every bite.

4) The Big Ash Chicken - MASHALLAH !!! The taste was sooo good that I wish I had more.

Anyone that follows me, this place has to be on your list of MUST TRY.

To the Owners/Cook/Workers - I come from Canada every other month and now I have 1 more reason to come...May Allah grant you much more success.“

“Me and my family decide to have a late lunch here after seeing the advertisement and reviews on instagram. We loved the food! The atmosphere and service was amazing. Finally, we have a Mediterranean place close to home. You have to come try this place and by the way they have an outdoor in the back where you can have hookah for those who are interested.“

“great food and great prices“

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

“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 😋“

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

“Great food and service ….“

“Great service I recently went because a friend recommended and was not disappointed I ordered the beef gyro sandwich very good would recommend.“

“I ordered takeout from Kulchay recently and had a positive experience. The woman working there was incredibly friendly and helpful while I waited. I tried their signature naanizza which is a fusion of naan and pizza. Both the chicken tikka and super supreme naanizzas were delicious. Even though I got stuck in traffic and had to reheat them at home, they still tasted great although I imagine they would be even better fresh out of the oven. I also tried the halwa naan for dessert which was decent but not something I would order again. All the food here is halal and I definitely plan to come back to try more items from their menu.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“Very nice and clean place to eat from and respectful service“

“We went to River Edge branch on Friday night - the music and atmosphere are great.Restaurant is beautiful. They have very good singer/DJ, people were dancing till very late. Food is good too - we ordered lamb shish kebab, fried potatoes, stuffed mushrooms, samsa, some salads - everything was delicious. Highly recommended.“

“Good ?“

“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“

“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“

“Great food!! Extremely friendly, and accommodating staff! When we come back to the area we will definitely be going back here! Highly recommend!“

“Best food truck in JC, clean and generous staff .“

“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.“

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

“The quantity is quite large. Each parathas can be shared with 2 or 3 folks. We had their Aloo , halwa puri and omlete paratha for delivery.
The other day, we came across the restuarant on main street, surprised that it wasn't just a nook in the corner but very decent restuarant.“

“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!“

“The shawarma is really great. They work in a very good way“

“The staff accommodated a large order for us during the busy time on a Saturday night and everyone was super happy with everything. All 35+ of us enjoyed the platters and sandwiches...and the WINGS are a hidden gem! Highly recommended and I will be a return customer.“

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

“Arguably a top 2 halal option in the Jersey City area, you can swap it from 1st or 2nd. They changed the lamb seasoning a few months ago, i did not like that but I ordered today and the lamb taste like how it originally did. 6 stars is i could give it that“

“Absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait to return!“

“Spectacular service, immaculate price, and dumbfounding taste. 100/100 out of 100/100!!! They even gave me free food because they ran out of one burger?!?!? Have you ever been some where they’ve giving out free food just to satisfy the customer. Will come again!“

“The food is always at the best standard! It’s made fresh every time you order and no matter what you order it will be delicious! We usually take it to go but the owner is always so friendly and we go so often he knows us! It’s always a pleasure to eat from here and it’s very accessible, less than $15 per person for an amazing meal! Would highly recommend coming here!“

“The staff are really warm and friendly and the food was absolutely delicious! I love their lemonade and the desserts do not disappoint! Celebrated my daughter and my Birthday and the staff made our day with surprise treats. Brought me to tears! Thank you to everyone at The Olive Bistro!“

“$9 for combo over rice. They don’t list prices on the truck for some reason. The yellow rice is great and has a bit more texture than the rice from the truck across the street. The white sauce is also good—not too heavy, not too light. The rest of the platter is satisfactory, but doesn’t stand out to me.“

“This is the first time we have visited Bornali Cafe. The restaurant seemed very clean and the food tasted great. We tried polao, various Bangladeshi meat dishes, shrimp, parathas, singaras and shrimp. They all tasted pretty authentic. Their vortas seemed pretty good too. In addition, the service was fast. I would rate it 4.8 out of 5. If you are looking for authentic Bangladeshi food, come here. You won't regret. Highly recommended!“

“PIDDE DELICIOUS PLACE IN NEW JERSEY;
I’ve been living in the U.S. for 16 years, and the thing I’ve missed and loved the most is lahmacun. After trying it at PIDDE, I’ve never had lahmacun anywhere else again. At other places I’ve tried over the years, I always experienced heartburn afterward — but never at PIDDE.

It’s a place you can visit with your family and feel completely at ease. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.🙏“

“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.“

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

“I’ve never had Turkish food but I decided to try it out and it was delicious, I had the donor with lamb and beef and the chicken vegetable soup. Everything was great and good portions too. The bread they brought to the table was amazing as well as the Turkish tea“

“Food is absolutely delicious!!. Atmosphere is super casual, decent amount of seating, staff we're kind, and friendly. Everything made to order, so be prepared to wait up to 10 minutes for a hot/fresh/delicious meal. In my opinion the 6 piece grilled tenders are the best value for your buck, definitely ask for a side of their white sauce, it's out of this world delicious!!. Food is a tad spicy, but nothing extraordinary, the spice level is fine for casual spice tolerance individuals like myself. All around great place to dine. I've dined in/out Food was great either way. 10/10 easily!.“

“Alkumah is an awesome hidden gem! The sandwiches are absolutely incredible, fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. I highly recommend the Kuftha sandwich spicy which is perfectly seasoned with just the right kick. Great spot for a quick bite or casual meal.“

“friendly Atmosphere good service nice perfectly cooked portion sizes and food makes you feel like Sunday dinner with family“

“Nice bright location atmosphere is vibrant all halal food . You must try all the tacos the birria ones are to die for have not tried any of the burritos I'm sure they are great as all their dishes they serve.

Dietary restrictions: All food served is halal“

“The best samosa“

“friendly Atmosphere good service nice perfectly cooked portion sizes and food makes you feel like Sunday dinner with family“

“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.“

“Amazing halal platters clean great run establishment“
