Food is good too - we ordered lamb shish kebab, fried potatoes, stuffed mushrooms, samsa, some salads - everything was delicious. Highly recommended.“

“So I just had iftaar with their tikka paratha roll that I had got last Sunday evening. It just tasted so good even though I ate it cold straight from the fridge. 😊 It didn't taste as good when I had ordered it on site. Then, without me even asking for anything, they remade it and gave it to me to take it home with me even though I had told them I was full. 😊😊 The largest portions I have ever seen anywhere, good food, clean, best interior and decor, excellent service. I have yet to see a BETTER or even equally nice place in NYC. 🤍 Jo baat hay. Food makes/breaks the mood.“

“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! 😋“

“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! 🔥🍽️“

“Halal Chicks never misses. The food is always fresh, hot, and ridiculously flavorful, actually crave worthy every time. Top-tier service. Friendly, fast, and always showing love. You can tell they take pride in what they do. 10/10 every single time. My go-to spot in the neighborhood“

“The halal combo here is up there with some of the best halal carts in the city. It’s my go-to option here in East Harlem (as well as their chicken loaded fries). They recently went through some renovations/branding changes so the atmosphere here is nice. The staff are also very friendly.“

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

“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 were looking for forward on our way back from NYCan stopped by this place.

Although it’s a small location and there is not much seating, the owners are such welcoming and kind people and the food was absolutely amazing.

We ordered gyros, Philly cheesesteaks, and rice platters and everything was great. Definitely recommend this place!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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“

Thank you KC for making our night 💖“

“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!!“

“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.“

“The food at Balochistan Restaurant and Catering is exceptionally flavorful, with rich, authentic spices and perfectly cooked meats that feel both rustic and high quality.
Each dish from their signature mutton specialties to rice platters tastes fresh, well-balanced, and deeply satisfying, reflecting traditional Balochi cooking.“

“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.“

“نكهات الطعام والخدمة مذهلة للغاية“

“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 🥘 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“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!!!!!!!❤️“

“The food here is REALLY good! The service is just the service. Nothing to be talked about. But the restaurant is small and a little cramped if it's too busy. But It's a restaurant. But What can I expect of a restaurant in the Bronx? 9/2 out of 10“

“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.“

“We’ve been loyal takeout customers for a long time, but dining in at Cinar was a completely different experience—in the best way. The atmosphere is refined and inviting, the service was attentive and professional, and the food was genuinely exceptional. A flawless 5-star experience across the board. We will absolutely be returning to dine in again and again.“

“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“

“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.“

“Excellent service, very friendly,delicious food. My spot is in Staten Island ny, new Dorp location.“

“Love this.“

“Great Persian food... yum!“

“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!“

“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...“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“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“

“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.🙏“
