Halal Restaurants near River Edge, NJ

“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.“

“Consistently quality, with outstanding flavor. Honest, authentic dishes, and delicious desserts. BYOB.“

“Probably one of the best, if not THE BEST, Lahori /Pakistani restaurants in the US. The street food style menu is such a unique and authentic experience.

We tried the paratha rolls which were perfectly spiced, wrapped in flaky paratha with amazing chutneys and the crispy chicken sandwiches that were huge, juicy, and packed with desi inspired flavors. The gappa chaat was a showstopper too, tangy, spicy, fresh, and beautifully presented.

The place has such a cool, authentic vibe with vibrant murals and a welcoming atmosphere. Even the washrooms were extremely nice and well kept (wish I had taken a picture to show that)

If you’re craving real Lahori street food vibes in the US, this spot is a must visit. Generous portions, fresh ingredients, friendly staff, and flavors that hit home.“

“Great food, all tasted fresh and didn't disappoint..we ordered the dinner for 2 that included 4 choices of cold starters and calamari that melts in your mouth and the salad was so good and the mix kebab and koftas over rice was good too..will definitely recommend and we shall be back! 😋“

“I tried the mix platter and it was 10/10. The flavor was incredible, easily one of the best I’ve had in years. The portions are huge, and the prices are very reasonable. There is plenty of seating, so it’s a comfortable place to sit and eat if you’re dining in. I’m glad I gave this spot a try and will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.“

“Halal Chicks never disappoints — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly spiced every time.
The portions are generous, and the chicken and lamb are always on point.
Their sauces take everything to the next level — especially the white and spicy ones.
Fast service, good prices, great owner— easily my go-to spot for takeout, specially after the gym!!!💪“

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

“great food and great prices“

“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 😋“

“We’ve been obsessed with this place for the past couple months, the food is amazing I highly recommend it! The salito fries, cheesesteak and the mixed platters are my forever go to! If you’re ever close to this place please check it out!! ❤️“

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

“Maged is the best! Love stopping here after getting off the train.“

“Was a great experience.Food was delicious. The manager was very helpful and friendly. Let me taste the grilled chicken before I ordered so I knew the flavor. I'd Definitely return and Highly recommend. They also have a wide selection on the menu i ordered a bit much but the prices were definitely reasonable for each selection I made“

“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“

“OK, so a beef kebab isn't so photogenic, especially outdoors in the afternoon wind, but it did its job of keeping me sated through a long academic presentation at the nearby Italian Academy. Nice food truck selection for these college folks in Morningside.“

“KC is the best! Wonderful experience from the moment we walked im to the moment we walked out.

Not only is the food superb (Chapli and Chips Platter), KC's service was top notch! Best in NYC 🎉

Thank you KC for making our night 💖“

“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.“

“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“

“The flavors were rich, authentic, and truly satisfying—every bite was a delight. The portions were generous, and the quality of the ingredients was top-notch.

What really stood out was the warm and welcoming service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience, making me feel valued as a customer. The atmosphere was clean, cozy, and inviting—perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family.“

“Great food,clean organized. light everywhere.i love it.a little expensive but it's worth it because the personal treatment,and good vibes.will come back often,and secure,you see cops everywhere.because of the precint.try their chicken wings!!“

“The food tastes delicious. I think if the place is called Gyro it is reasonable that they cut the meat from the gyro in front of you. However that is not the case the gyro meat is in a container just like in a cart in the city. And to be 100% honest, considering that I paid over $15 for a platter with a Coke and it is served in a plastic Tupperware with plastic fork, at the very least the portions should be bigger. It is not the case, not a lot of rice, not a lot of meat, not a lot of salad. I think I would go more often otherwise.
However the taste is there and it tastes pretty good.“

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

“I walked into Halal Cajun Platters and the man who was there treated me like family. I never met him in my entire life and I came in to get a green juice but I didn’t have enough money to pay for it. However the man who was at the counter treated me with so much love and kindness. The food is so incredible and every single thing on the menu is the best food you will ever eat and that’s because it is made with so much love. You will never find a spot like this in your life so many places make a bunch of food but there is no love! The vibes of this restaurant are incredible!!! If you are looking for a place that feels like home PLEASE COME!!!!!!!❤️“

“I love Mediterranean food. When I went to Cinar, I was so impressed with the food and service. Absolutely authentic flavors, and the hummus and chicken kebab were bursting with flavors and lip-smacklingly delicious!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!“

“it was actually one of the best halal I’ve had. I’m not kidding. the cart, Halal Harlem, was established in 2002. the guy working it was a little slow but that’s bc his experienced hands will make your lamb gyro on pita with so much care. be patient and you’ll get the best halal you ever tasted. he didn’t skimp on the meat or veggies. there was onions, tomatoes, and lettuce!! some places give you lettuce and call it a day. He charges fair prices! I love Harlem Halal like I love the M116. with gratitude in my heart and wallet.“

“Halal Chicks is hands down one of the best spots around! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite hits the spot — from the juicy chicken to the perfectly seasoned rice and sauces that bring everything together.

The employees make the experience even better. They’re always friendly, respectful, and go out of their way to make sure your order is exactly how you want it. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in their work.

The service is fast, the portions are generous, and the whole place has a positive, welcoming vibe. Whether you’re grabbing lunch or stopping by late at night, Halal Chicks never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“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.🙏“

“Brother's Fried Fish is the definition of a local gem and a true mom and pop shop where the food speaks for itself!

The fish is perfectly seasoned and fried just right & crispy . It feels like you’re being transported back in time. I highly recommend the breakfast fried fish with grits, cheese, and home fries. This spot is the real deal. Always fresh ❤️“

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

“So, so good; can’t wait to go back!! I had a pita pocket with a bunch of veggies. The worker went above and beyond to accommodate my and my friend’s (annoying) requests. Planned to get just one sandwich but couldn’t. It’s that good.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect Halal Food NYC – A Must-Stop Food Truck!

If you’re in NYC and not stopping by Perfect Halal Food, you’re doing it wrong. This food truck is an absolute gem—serving up generous portions of some of the best halal food in the city.

Let’s talk about the chicken over rice first. One bite, and you’ll wonder why you ever ate anywhere else. The chicken? Tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The rice? The perfect balance of cinnamon and clove—fragrant but not overpowering. And the white sauce? Oh. My. Goodness. Creamy, tangy, and downright addictive.

Then there’s the lamb over rice—a game-changer. The lamb is seasoned to perfection, with just the right amount of spice to keep things interesting. The rice? Still that same fragrant, flavorful base. The white sauce and hot sauce together? A match made in food heaven—cool, creamy, and fiery all at once.

And let’s not forget the portions—enough to satisfy your hunger twice. Seriously, one plate is a full meal and then some.

Beyond the food, the truck itself is spotless—because who doesn’t appreciate a clean, well-run operation? The staff is friendly, efficient, and knows the menu inside and out.

Long story short: If you see this truck, run, don’t walk. Your taste buds (and your stomach) will thank you!“

“Best Mexican place in NJ and PA combined. I’ve had lots of Mexican food from many places and this place blows all others out of the water. Genuinely a perfect 10/10 authentic Mexican food restaurant. The employees are also very kind and willing to converse.“

“Love this.“

“Great Persian food... yum!“

“This place is clean...the quality of the food is better than some of the kennedys ive been to amd they serve you fast....tho they do make mistakes here and there... like forgetting what you asked to put on anything for example tomatoes, onions lettuce ect ect...other than that i would still recommend this place...“

“My whole family comes to this wonderful restaurant and always orders food from here. The food is DELICIOUS!! The prices are also great and worth it. Anytime we have any modifications, they always make sure it’s to our liking. Both gentlemen working here are so kind and hardworking. Will always come here and recommend to everyone! 10 STARS!!!!“

“Had a quaint dinner party with 29 people and it was phenomenal, from the service to the food. My advice, if you want to walk around, dance and take pictures comfortably, definitely no more than 20 people in the patio area. That’s just my humble review, you do you! Everyone still had a great time with the space that was provided.
Thank you Hunkar Family for being so accommodating and being a part of making our wedding night so special! We deeply appreciated it.“

“Every time I come to the restaurant I always order the same dish which is the Lamb gyro because I believe it's the best in the menu I would recommend it. Everything about it is amazing you can also order a slice of dessert which they have about six options for you to choose from and everything has always been an amazing experience. They are very kind and friendly and very helpful play the top customer service I've every time I go I have an amazing experience and the lamb gyro always tastes amazing as the last purchase each and every time. I have not one negative review to State when it comes to this restaurant. The neighborhood is a bit rough but don't judge the restaurant by the surroundings“

“Been trying to satisfy a nando’s craving since visiting London a few months ago, and I think this might be it! Chicken was very Smokey and flavorful, and the yuca fries (not pictured) were also nicely seasoned and crispy. Will definitely come back to try the other sides and lamb.“

“Delicious food and amazing customer service.“
