11 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Paterson

“The food was easily the best Arab food I’ve had. Ever. The owners were super nice and actually invited us to sit instead of take out, and we got complimentary toum (also best toum I’ve ever had), peppers, pickles, and some sort of Arab bread. The bread was nice and crackly and there was a LOT of it. The toum, unlike other Arab places with toum, was actually light and had that whipped texture that is desired. The garlic flavor was on point and not too overpowering. The star of the show was easily the crispy chicken shawarma, though. It looks small in some videos, but it was wider than my mouth. I had to do some talking to find out myself, but to get the fries, toum, and pickles next to the shawarma, you need to ask for the crispy chicken shawarma combo. It was super crispy, and the breading was very nicely toasted. I kept finding myself layering the top with some pickles, fries, and more toum. They also drizzled some pomegranate molasses on the chicken shawarma, which gave it a tangy but also fruity aftertaste. We also ordered the charcoal chicken and kebab. The kebab, instead of normal beef on a stick, actually came with some yellow rice and some REALLY GOOD spicy seasoned bread that was very soft and moist on some parts and crispy on the others. You could literally see the spice particles on it. The charcoal chicken was juicy, tender, and had that charcoal roasted flavoring. It even came with a bunch of complimentary fries. The fries on both the shawarma and the charcoal chicken was nicely battered, and the shawarma fries were very well seasoned. The only thing is that the bathroom is through a door that leads upstairs, and you have to open two doors. If you’re someone like me and don’t like the feeling of putting grip on things with sticky stuff on your hands, you won’t like that. It’s one of those turn knobs. Finally, the music made me feel like I was actually back in Abu Dhabi watching fire shows while eating falafel. Please visit, they are amazing people who make amazing food!“

“This place blew me away. The food was great and the portions are great too you’re paying for quality. On top of the great food you’re being greeted by amazing staff. My friend told me about this spot and before telling me anything about the food he told me about the people who work there. When I walked in I was treated as a friend not a customer I felt very welcomed. I could tell this staff member puts people first and respects everyone. I’m definitely going to keep sharing this spot to my friends and people I know“

“Las pupusas son increiblemente deliciosas. Las personas muy queridas y atienden las necesidades del cliente.“

“Great yummy flavorful food! Just would advise them to have the server serve the food a with some sort of presentation. A tiny effort goes along the way. Literally slapped the meat on my plate.. it doesn’t look pleasant. But it was yummy! Wish she would’ve served the right amount of steak this wasn’t expected“

“Great atmosphere. Knowi the place from 30+ years ago. Great people. Great Swedes. Actually, the best and I wish iand hope 1 day you guys will open another place in the area of Hilliard. Ohio, they are dying for great traditional.sweets over there. You guys rock!!!“

“I was working in the area and I stopped by here for lunch. It’s on a busy street so parking is tough. Easy to order and great prices. I got a chicken pita sandwich it was great. I definitely recommend this place and will be back soon. Everyone was eating fried chicken it look good so that’s what I will get next time.“

“Awesome food. In particular they have my favorite dish that is hard to find. Most Chinese food restaurants don't make my favorite, Lake Ting Tung shrimp. You can order it with chicken or whatever you might like. Definitely try it, they make it well. Food is always hot and fresh even though I get it delivered in Haledon when visiting family. 5 stars easy! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Huge thank you to El Boulevard Fritura y Chimichurri and especially the chef!

My buddy and I went after midnight the day after a snowstorm. A few other food trucks showed as open on Google but were closed, and this was the only spot actually open; which we appreciated right away.

Unfortunately, the roads weren’t plowed well and my car got stuck in the snow. The chef noticed immediately and ran out of the truck to help us. He even brought out a shovel and started clearing snow himself. That level of kindness and willingness to help late at night meant a lot. You don’t see that often.

On top of that, the pierna chimi was absolutely delicious; packed with flavor and loaded with meat. It had been a while since we had one, and it definitely hit the spot. Well worth everything we went through to get there.

Great food and even better people. Highly recommend!“
