“Zaffron Bloom is an absolute GEM in Hasbrouck Heights. The family owned restaurant offers authentic Persian cuisine cooked fresh to order. The owners are extremely kind and will always do their best to make sure the food is good and you enjoy yourself. I’ve been looking for some authentic persian food for a while and this is easily my top choice in NJ. Seriously if you are ever in the area and are considering going here it is well worth it.
The food is cooked fresh when you order so take some time to enjoy the atmosphere and menu. They have everything from homemade cultural teas to fantastic kebabs and desserts. Not to mention their food is Halal for anyone curious. Like I said before if you want to enjoy some genuine Persian food there is no where else to look!“

“This platters spot offers fresh and tasty food. I tried the mixed platter, and while the lamb was just decent (it tasted like it might be from a box), the chicken was wonderfully juicy and moist. Don't miss the crispy wings, especially with the delicious mango habanero sauce! Their menu has plenty of other options. It's a small place, so it's probably best for takeout.

plenty of parking“

“Bismillah. Assalamualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

My mother and I drove here from an hour away for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, and Alhamdulillah, we enjoyed our time immensely.

We found street parking easily right outside, the ambience and atmosphere is lovely,, the people were kind and took care of us with a smile (they treated everyone that walked in like family!), and the food delicious from soups to meals. The pita was soft and delicious, perfectly made and enjoyed immensely by us Pakistanis who live on roti! The salad had the best spicy kick and the shrimp meal we ordered was absolutely wonderful - coming from someone who married someone that grew up at the shore and just as picky about seafood now, this cast iron dish was cooked to perfection. I wanted to bring it home for my beach boy to try but it never made it home (Astaghfirullah 😅). But it's okay cuz we're coming back to get some more,
إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰه
InshaAllah and also try all the things!!!

Highly recommend these guys for the food, the people and the atmosphere. Allahumma Barik, Yemen Land 🤲🏽“

“Shlomo's kindness and generosity is endless! Not only has he offered to participate in a PTO sponsored dine to donate today, but when our school staff ordered lunch to support, he refused payment and insisted the payment be donated to the PTO in full! He gets plenty of love and all is deserved! Thank you Shlomo and Gyro Grill for not only delicious food but for your continued acts of love in the Wayne community!“

“My kids and I love this place and keep going back. The food is consistently great and the staff is always so nice, patient, accommodating and helpful.“

“Goes this place doesn't have a higher rating on Google is beyond me. The falefal is a 5 o ut of 5 The rice is the best I've ever had. It's both soft and creamy almost! I'm having the lamb shish kaboblan special. It is juicy and not chewy. Nothing is ever over salted here or overcooked the many times that I've been here. I even drive here for lunch 20 minutes away, even though there's Middle Eastern places a few minutes away from my job. The beef liver is great. Here the baba ganoush and hummus are tasty. Not oily. Very good lentil soup. It really tastes homemade!“

“Compliments to Yalla for vert tasty, diversified and plentiful menu. We visited you yesterday with 2 teen grandchildren and everyone enjoyed her/his choice.

“**Review for Toros Restaurant**

I had a great experience at Toros! The meat was exceptionally tender and fresh, making each bite enjoyable. The bread was also tasty, with a perfect balance of crispiness and softness. Overall, a fantastic dining spot that I highly recommend!“

“We loved this place! Came once for brunch and once for dinner and both times food was great, fresh, great taste, large portions, nicely presented. We highly recommend this restaurant. The service is excellent as well, the waiters are always ready to go out of their way to make you happy.“

“Simply put: AMAZING! THE BEST!“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Nablus Sweets! There was a dessert on display that looked amazing, but it usually comes topped with pistachios, which I’m allergic to. I’ve always wanted to try it, and without me asking, the kind gentleman working there actually went out of his way to freshly bake me one without pistachios, even though that’s not how they usually serve it (and it tasted amazing). He didn’t have to, but his kindness and thoughtfulness truly made my day. The desserts are absolutely delicious, but the hospitality here is just as sweet. The staff are very kind and accommodating. Highly recommend this place to anyone in Paterson looking for authentic, freshly made sweets!“

“The small Shwarma got the Khaboos bread (Dubai style pita), which is what I get all the time and I always try for this even if it cost to be 50 minutes one way.
It’s worth the drive, that’s what I eat is extremely soulful. 🙏🏻❤️😇“

“This dessert shop is such a gem in this Palestine nabe! They serve the best kunefe I’ve had — crispy, cheesy, and absolutely satisfying every time. I enjoyed the baklava also with its perfectly sweetness and flakiness. Add to that is the affogato, which pairs perfectly with the desserts.

Even more special is watching the staff prepare the baklava and kunefe — it feels like watching an artist perform a zen ritual. Coming all the way from Vietnam on and off, but whenever I’m nearby, I always make sure to stop in. It’s become one of my must-visit spots for a sweet treat!“
