“Jersey Platers is seriously a 10/10! The food is always fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The plates are AMAZING — packed with so much food and everything tastes incredible. And the big fries?? They do not play around! You get a huge portion and they’re cooked perfectly every time.

The service is just as good as the food — super friendly and welcoming. You can tell everything is made with care. If you haven’t tried Jersey Platers yet, you’re missing out. Definitely one of my favorite spots and I’ll keep coming back! 🔥🍽️“

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

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

“Great food and big portions. The chicken and gyro are always on point, and the white sauce is amazing. The manager gave really good service and made the experience even better. Super fast overall and solid prices. Definitely a go-to spot when you want something tasty and filling.“

“I recently visited this halal fast food restaurant and had a great experience overall. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. I ordered the chicken burger and loaded fries, and both were well-seasoned and served hot. It’s reassuring to know that all the meat is 100% halal, which is very important to me.

The restaurant was clean and well-organized, and the menu had a good variety of options at reasonable prices. Service was quick despite it being busy, and the staff were polite and welcoming. The only small improvement I would suggest is offering more drink options or sauces.

Overall, I’m very satisfied and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for tasty, reliable halal fast food. I’ll be coming back again.

The worker service at this halal fast food restaurant was excellent. The staff were friendly, respectful, and professional from the moment I walked in specially Saima. They took my order patiently, answered my questions clearly, and made sure everything was correct.“

“good food .... great price“

“Wow and I mean it the best food i ever taste in town this hidden gem is amazing the food was delicious as i tried their hunger chef signature burger which was cooked to perfection every bite tells that this restaurant uses best ingredients
About service no words can describe how welcoming and caring the chef as well as owners who happened to arrive while we were there.
I have to mention that their secret ingredients sauce is great they call it hinger sauce“

“One of the best halal restaurants in Elmwood Park! Baba Tikka has amazing food every time I visit. The butter chicken is creamy and full of flavor, and the chicken tikka masala is just as good with the perfect spice level. The garlic naan is always fresh, soft, and pairs perfectly with the curries. This is definitely one of my go-to spots when I’m craving halal food near me. Great place for authentic Pakistani and Indian food.“

“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.“

“Just found it on the way to our hotel when we stop at dominoes pizza ,so I just enter the restaurant and order burns road chutney paratha roll and mayo garlic roll and falooda for me and my husband. And don’t regret at all . Amazing food. And having authentic falooda after so long. I must say falooda was actually the hit better than Toronto. (We are visiting newyork from toronto.) very near by to our uncle’s home. So we will definitely stop by next visit to newyork for falooda for sure.“

“The best tacos and the best service. Very nice people. They attend the costumer quickly and the food is always nice and hot and super tastyThe best tacos and the best service in this restaurant, they serve you super fast and their food is super delicious and hot.“

“Great Persian food... yum!“

“Best mix platers in town“

“I used to live in nyc. Since moving to jersey years ago, i have been looking for a place that does Falafel and gyro platters the new york way. This spot is exactly that and no other spot compares! Ive tried so many disappointing falafels in jersey. This one was perfect! Exactly the same as my fav cart in NYC. I used to have to go to nyc when i craved this so im so happy i no longer have to make that journey. Manhattan Halal Gyro has to be one of the most underrated restaurants in northern jersey. The team was friendly and lovely. The prices were insanely good! The quality was perfect. Good vegetables and loved the grilled onions on the platter. The sauces were exactly what they were supposed to be and the falafel was so perfect - soft but crunchy - exactly what i love in a good falafel.

This also tastes the same as the falafel i get when i visit family in the middle east.

So go try it!“

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

“نكهات الطعام والخدمة مذهلة للغاية“

“Ali helped us choose the right chicken. As I walk in the place looks lovely and taken care of. The lemon herb chicken was incredibly delicious. The slight spice and tang of the lemon created a deep flavor. Plus the included white creamy sauce and spicy red sauce allowed me to dive deeper into the experience“

“A wonderful family-owned restaurant with a very warm and welcoming owner couple, Sanjana and her husband. You can truly feel the care and passion that goes into the food.

We tried several dishes and everything was excellent:
• Samosa – 9/10
• Onion pakoda – 8/10
• Chai – 9/10
• Lasooni Paneer – 10/10 (absolute standout!)
• Kadai Paneer – 9/10
• Garlic naan – 9/10
• Diwani Handi – 8/10
• Biryani – 8/10

The food is prepared by the owner, and the freshness and authentic flavors really show. Overall, a great dining experience, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious Indian food. Will definitely be coming back!“

“Service: Gustavo man, Gustavo. This Brother gave us top tier service, Masha Allah. He was extremely patient as I was really undecided on what to order since it was authentic Mexican and he really kept our interests in mind. I kept calling him over and over again but he kept smiling and you can tell he was genuinely understanding. He greeted us with Salaam and was so courteous through our whole time there. He also checked in on us to make sure things were going good. Great customer service is something that I never overlook and this customer service I received was one of the best.

Food: And the food was so good. It came out one by one so we had stuff to eat from the moment we sat down with the tortilla chips. Had all of our food within 10 min or so which was great. We had Birria tacos, steak bowl, the special quesadilla (forgot the name as it's in Spanish but it had maiz in the name), and tortilla chips. Everything was delicious and legitimately tasted like an authentic foreign cuisine. It is not your average Mexican bowl place. Heavy props to the chef for the amazing flavors and textures of the food!

Halal: I mostly eat at HFSAA or HMS Halal certified locations. So considering they were also certified is always my first step to going to any restaurant. I wouldn't have even come if they weren't certified.

Remarks: All in all, food and service was great and I definitely recommend others to give it a try!“
