Falafel near Rutherford, NJ

“This place was fantastic! Over the years I've been here maybe 10 times. I never complain when my friends or family suggest this place to eat for dinner. The waitresses are always a pleasure to deal with. They assist me well when I ask for all my extras and meal modifications. The chef ?‍? in the back is on point. I wish GYRO TOWN long-term success in these challenging economic times

Parking: Paid street parking can be a bit full sometimes, causing me to circle once or twice. I typically never have to walk more than a half a block.“

“If you are looking for a restaurant with three Michelin stars and upscale wine list and dining experience this is not your place. However, if you forego the pretense and unnecessary snooty ambiance found in high-end restaurants and are looking for authentic home cooked Mediterranean Kafta and Schwarma with simple yet delicious savory salads then come here!“

“Where is the 6-star button!? This is one of the best falafels that I've ever had. Sam makes the sandwiches to perfection - the falafels balls are made to order, the pita is filled with silky tahini, and the vegetables are perfectly crunchy. At $8 for a sandwich and $1 for a drink, it beats anything. If you want falafel, that's the one.“

“I ordered 100 falafel sandwiches for a camp supporting refugees . Not only was the food amazing The owner delivered the food himself . I have lived in Hell’s Kitchen over 25 years and I just found my new spot for amazing food and service ! Thank you“

“I went here for lunch yesterday and had the Hanger Steak on Whole Wheat Pita (it was on the specials menu) and it truly made my day. So flavorful with sautéed onions and a delicious side salad. I HAD to write a review to help spread the news, the food was fresh and unbelievably good and the service was top notch. <3“

“Love the food“

“Delicious falafel, never disappoints“

“We have been getting take-out from Falafel Hut for many many years. It’s a great option for a reasonably priced meal. We have had a variety of items from the menu and have been happy with them. We have also ordered for parties / group gathering and everyone was happy with the meal.

Kid-friendliness: If your kid wants chicken fingers and fries, their’s are good.“

“I ate here several times during my visit to NY love the food“

“Their hummus is beyond amazing. The taste of creaminess at the end. How they make it I have no idea. Now I’m in trouble I need get these! So recommend to anyone. Make sure you get falafel and eat it within, the best way to have your falafel. It’s crispy so good. It’s better than any places I ever tried. Highly recommended

Vegetarian options: So many options. Just order it if your debating. One of the best. Better than any famous place“

“If you’re a tourist hunting for a quick, affordable halal meal, look no further—this place has you covered. The $12 gyro platter is hands down one of the best deals you’ll find. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the rice is perfectly cooked, and the salads and sauces just tie it all together in the best way possible. It’s filling, tasty, and easy on the wallet.

Locals, you’re seriously lucky to have this spot in your neighborhood. Everything on the platter is fresh and full of flavor, and you can tell they put care into making sure each part of the meal hits just right. Whether you're a visitor or a regular, this is the kind of place you’ll keep coming back to.“

“I visited New York for 6 days from the state of Texas and ended up having two meals at this location because the food was just that good. In a city where you have to be the best to survive, we chose to eat here for two meals! The flavors and consistency of quality and service were great. Can't say enough good things about this place! Keep up the good work gentlemen!“

“Absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait to return!“

“this store is very clean and all team work is friendly with customer and I try all kind of food is very good everyday I buy my lunch and dinner from this store and I sent all my friends to this restaurant Kings falafel and all of them like this store because the food is very good“

“Mamoun's Falafel is a classic, old-school establishment that consistently draws a crowd—and for good reason. The food is always fresh and delicious, making it a favorite spot for many. There’s never any issue with the quality or taste of the food; it’s simply excellent.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, they only accept cash, so be prepared. If you’re short on cash, you'll need to use the ATM right outside the store, which charges a $3 fee. The staff, while efficient, can sometimes come across as brusque, especially when you request extras like sauce on the side or if you’re a dollar short. Also, seating is very limited, so it's best to plan on taking your food to go. The prices are slightly on the higher side, but given the quality of the food, it's worth it.“

“You need to know what to get! I personally am not a fan of the fries (they’re more like home fries and the seasoning makes them too dry for my taste) but LOVE the eggplant falafel sandwich and the beet salad!

Vegetarian options: Falafel sandwiches, salads and sides!

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and Halal“

“My husband gets their food all the time for lunch and yesterday I met up with him while he was on break. I got the falafel plate and my god! The falafels were so fresh and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the veggies were fresh and really brought life to the dish. The owner and his son were so nice. I cannot recommend enough!“

“I only got the falafel sandwich but OH MY DAYS was it good. First bite of that falafel:🤤 crunchy outside n moist interior. Listen man- they not cappin when they say it’s fresh here. The pita, the veggies, the falafel. I didn’t want it to end. HANDS DOWN BEST FALAFEL SAMMICH IN NY😮‍💨🔥🐗“

“Really good food and service. Falafel and garlic is sauce is out of this world.“

“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!“

“Good Luck � My Friend“

“sitting, thankful i chose pita square for lunch. i was craving something to make me feel fulfilled, not full. balanced and fresh. i chose to be picky today and it went in my best favor. we’ll get into the food, but let’s start off with the atmosphere. pita square is fresh, clean, and airy. which makes it a great spot to relax and enjoy your meal in peace. colorful with subtle decor, clean bathrooms, great customer service, and an affordable menu. i got the $7.99 lamb platter: well seasoned lamb, rice, and colorful salad, drizzled with white and hot sauce. everything is very fresh. the best of all, perfect portion to eat some and pack for later. giving them their 10s, stop by and give it a try. i’m glad i did. i feel great after eating.“

“Love the falafels from this place. They have so many toppings to choose. You can get a platter or gyro with either lamb, chicken beef or falafel. I only get the falafels but they are banging. Then you can pick lettuce, tomato, onions, peppers, olives, pickles, and/or chickpeas. It's delicious 😋 I only took off one start for atmosphere because their tv is so loud lol always a turn off for me. Cheers“

“Benjy was very kind, and straight to the point. The place is chalov yisroel, and the pizza was surprisingly delicious. The store is a bit outdated but in my opinion is reminiscent of the old pizza shops we went to as kids in a cozy kind of way. Benjy, keep being you.

Dietary restrictions: Kosher, cholov yisroel, pas yisroel.

Kid-friendliness: There are highchairs, and the owner will cut the pies in as many peices as you want.“

“Everything was really, really, really good, and fresh, especially the salad, meats cooked to order, the falafel. We also loved the hummus, babaganoush, and fluffy pita. Service was super friendly and accommodating to a ton of small special requests. Not sure why they gave us some flat store bought pita with our order and some delicious, fluffy, and fresh made (maybe they were running out?), but overall a really delightful surprise.“

“Best food and best people. The cook and the older gentleman taking our order love their jobs and really took care of us. Both the chicken and beef shawarma were cooked to perfection, with the right amount of juiciness and charred flavor. Even the bread was great. The man taking our order was very welcoming and hospitable. Perfect neighborhood halal spot.“

“Jerusalem Pizza Falafel is definitely one of the best establishments in the Passaic Park area. I absolutely love the falafel, which is always of a generous size and very much well worth the extra expense. Their soups are always tasty, my favorite being the lentil, and the knishes (my loves being the kasha and the spinach) are delicious. It's always a great take home for me, and I can't give enough superlatives to the staff, all of whom make you feel welcome (once you get to the counter).

Vegetarian options: There are numerous vegetarian and vegetable dishes that are available for consumption if one is not eating meat.

Kid-friendliness: There's always a group of kids in the restaurant, all having a good time enjoying the food and themselves.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair accessible entrance that comes in quite conveniently for those who are mobility impaired, and the aisles are wide enough to service those in wheelchairs and walkers.

Dietary restrictions: There are numerous restrictions and specifications in a traditional Jewish diet, and rules that must be adhered to. Jerusalem Pizza on its menu board lists everything available according to the rules it follows in a simple understandable way.“

“all i can say is i went here yesterday and got a falafel wrap and have not stopped talking about it - i've said "moist" more than i'd ever care to admit. it's incredible. i went back again today and they served straight fire yet again. looks like a humble take out spot but let me tell you ... the aura in this place is off the charts. for the price, too? wild. i just moved to the area and will be here once a week.“

“Great food , great prices. Friendly welcoming staff. the classic shawarma sandwich and falafel sandwich are delicious. do yourself a favor and get the mint lemonade, you'll be hooked :)“

“Spectacular service, immaculate price, and dumbfounding taste. 100/100 out of 100/100!!! They even gave me free food because they ran out of one burger?!?!? Have you ever been some where they’ve giving out free food just to satisfy the customer. Will come again!“

“Easily one of the best food deals in NYC. 11 dollars for a large bowl with unlimited toppings and four huge falafel that were some of the best falafel i’ve had in the area. Couscous was a little dry but still flavorful and the sauces were fantastic and arguably the best part. Perfect hummus as well.“

“The falafel here is superb! It’s light and crispy with a full flavor. I usually order the falafel platter that comes with red quinoa, hummus, pickles, Israeli salad and cabbage. It also comes with pita but I’m GF so I opt out. They also have Dr. Brown’s sodas which is the icing on the cake! The owner and staff and friendly and want to make sure you have the best falafel in town! Highly recommend!

Vegetarian options: They offer falafel, sabich and cauliflower“

“Absolutely amazing food and magi drink is yummmmmy!“

“Whenever I am in the area, I have to get my fix!! The Lamb Gyro Platter and Chicken Gyro Platter are so good. You are going to want to order both. I wish I had taken a picture. The last time I was here was in Nov 2021, my flight got in after midnight, so I didn't get to my hotel until close to 2AM. This was one of the few places open, and the food was so good. The Hummus & Pita is delicious as well! You just can not go wrong with this place!“

“Needed somewhere halal to eat when I was visiting the 9/11 Memorial. It was about a 5 min walk. Bit of a queue to order, however that’s generally an indicator the food is good and it was worth the wait. The brother serving the food made it extra spicy for me. I ordered the Chicken Kati roll. You get 2 for about $7-$8. Lovely food.“

“I crave Mamouns, but unfortunately, I haven't been there in years. I walked down from 16th Street and was famished when I arrived.
As deeelish as I had remembered. You can't get a better Falafel anywhere in New York. Everything is so fresh!“

“First time here and was skeptical because of the prior businesses that have been there I am actually very surprised the place is brand new and very clean the lady was very nice and customer friendly, so we got a a few things first the burgers are like homade absolutely delicious fresh lettuce tomatoes and onions sesame bun cooked perfect, the wings are amazing im pretty sure they are restaurant depots extra crispy wings which Noone sells cause there expensive but definitely 10 out of 10 on crispy wings, and chicken cutlet salad all fresh great breaded chicken and just good im so glad we finally got a good lil spot like this in town best wishes“

“thank you so much for feeding us at Long Island Jewish Forest Hills Hospital . love the authenticity, it's like being back home in my native land of Israel!“

“These street carts were peppered all over NYC. Am unsure why certain carts have longer queues than the rest even though they were all from the same franchise. Nothing much to comment on the taste. I didn't like the mess on the plate which was heavily slathered in white sauce. Reasonably priced. Portions are huge.“

“As a newbie creating my own shwarma meal, I appreciated the countermans help and recommendation. Excellent meal! Tasty, filling. I’m so happy I went!“

“$9 for combo over rice. They don’t list prices on the truck for some reason. The yellow rice is great and has a bit more texture than the rice from the truck across the street. The white sauce is also good—not too heavy, not too light. The rest of the platter is satisfactory, but doesn’t stand out to me.“

“Food was amazing and the service even better!! Highly recommend!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options

Parking: Plenty of parking

Kid-friendliness: They made my son feel like a king!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp inside and the bathroom is large enough for a wheelchair and has a bar to hold“

“If you're looking for a low-key spot to enjoy some delicious falafel in Jersey City, look no further than Ibby’s Falafel. I recently stopped by and tried their famous falafel sandwich, and it did not disappoint! The flavors were outstanding, especially with the option to add their spicy sauce—definitely a must-try.

As I walked by, the aroma wafting from the place was irresistible. I also noticed their pita chips and baklava on the menu, which I’ll have to come back for next time. Overall, a great spot for a quick and satisfying meal! Highly recommend!

Vegetarian options: Chickpea falafel“

“LOVE! Came here while in the area. We were looking for fresh simple food. Traveling from UK. We love this kind of food so it was a must when passing at lunch time. Fast service and fresh tasty food. Would definitely return. We managed a seat inside so had a mint lemonade too...delicious!“

“One of the best places to get a good, healthy, hearty meal for the low.

This is one of the few line places that actually honors an extra meat portion. I don’t know if any other place in Newark that you can get basically a meal for two under $14. Disclaimer, I eat a lot.

The owner and the staff are super cool“

“It took some trying but we did manage to figure out what was and what wasn't gluten-free despite the menu having it listed as gluten-free. Staff was very accommodating and explained everything. Only complaint was from my nephew who said his sandwich was nothing but a pita with lettuce in it and my daughter who said the chicken tasted more like a grill than grilled chicken - it did have too many blackened grill marks tbh. The french fries and falafel were amazing!“
