Halal Restaurants near South Orange, NJ

“The food is delicious!
I got the original chicken with rice platters and one chicken mix gyro wrap. Excellent and momma is really hard to please. We’re transplants from NYC and with NYC being at the top of the dining out / take home capital it is tough for many States and counties to compete with the flavor and cooking styles easily found in NYC just around every corner.

OMGRYRO easily hits all the marks with the exception of the Jerk Chicken. Jerk Chicken flavor profile is no bueno in my humble opinion and that is because it doesn’t come close to tasting like jerk seasoning and can’t compare to true jerk style flavor.

Everything else is we ordered and devoured tasted great, high on flavor with decent portion sizes.

Hope they put the Jerk Season flavor to the chicken NYC style.“

“Omg it's been so long i haven't been here, but their pizza is the best and the all the foods that he has it's delicious especially the salads. I will recommend anybody to come here and sit down and eat a delicious pizza🍕🤗😉☺️“

“Don't underestimate this place. I've been to 5 star restaurants and in my opinion this eatery shares some of the same qualities that I admire in upscale restaurants: consistency and deliciousness.

The people behind the register are friendly but quiet. I go here during week when I want something that is fresh and high in protein. They provide you with generous portions so if you workout and need a solid amount of protein and carbs this is my favorite in the area. I enjoy eating here more than Chipotle, higher quality meat with bolder flavors and they serve uniform portions of chicken. They don't cut corners here.

The chicken platter is my favorite and I highly recommend it to people wanting to try something new. With the chicken platter I enjoy the fresh zesty flavors of onions, tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and tzatziki sauce on the side. I recommend ordering an extra sauce with your order. WIth the colder months I'd also recommend the their lentil soup. It was really tasty!

Side note: I don't recommend the cheese burger. It's not their specialty. Stick with the chicken platter.“

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

“THIS PLACE IS AWESOME !!!! I came from Canada and wanted to try something other than Halal Guys. This place blows them out of the water. Ordered:

1) Chicken Platter - AWESOME !!!! Portion was good and flavor was sooooooo good

2) Philly Cheese Steak - OMG !!!! The hero/sub was sooo good that it is a "must have"

3) Mixed Gyro - ALHUMDULLIAH !!!! The Sandwich / Pita was so packed that it took time to eat and I enjoyed every bite.

4) The Big Ash Chicken - MASHALLAH !!! The taste was sooo good that I wish I had more.

Anyone that follows me, this place has to be on your list of MUST TRY.

To the Owners/Cook/Workers - I come from Canada every other month and now I have 1 more reason to come...May Allah grant you much more success.“

“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“

“The food was really good! I tried one of the gyros and I liked that you could customize it by chosing your choice of protein. My friend had tried the shrimp quesadilla and loved it as well. The day I went they had an event so I got a henna done :)“

“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“

“Hempstead location is the best halal on Long Island!“

“1st time Me and hubby went there. The place is very clean and the guy is so humble. We ordered Lamb Shawarma and Beef Steak ......take out and had to wait few minutes, Ummm Taste is so yammiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, Also bough Baklava. Surely we will visit again, Thank you.“

“Looking for a great place for lunch or dinner HPK is outstanding from Gyros to rice platters with the white sauce you will fill up unless you have a bottomless pit I highly recommend you stop by .“

“The Philly cheese steak is delicious. Tried some fried chicken too…also very tasty. I will be eating here again.“

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

“My breakfast was great this morning.“

“They have the freshest , BEST FOOD in NJ. They are also very polite and helpful. The owner is so sweet and everything is made to order!! Definitely a win win 🏆“

“I luv it I would recommend Juicys💕💕💕“

“I ordered Chicken Biryani and Chicken Kabab through Uber Eats. After I ordered , I realized that I forgot to order Nan. So I called the restaurant and ask them that what can I do now. The person(probably the owner) replied , I will add Nan and whenever you visit, give me 2 Dollars. That was really a nice gesture which I will remember and must appreciate(along with the debt on me).
Talking about food, I had eaten many Biryanis in USA but it is one of the best real Pakistani biryani. Kababs were also fresh and tasty. I highly recommend those who want to have Halal and real Pakistani taste, must visit.“

“The staff are really warm and friendly and the food was absolutely delicious! I love their lemonade and the desserts do not disappoint! Celebrated my daughter and my Birthday and the staff made our day with surprise treats. Brought me to tears! Thank you to everyone at The Olive Bistro!“

“Humble seems to be the best word to summarize this restaurant. The men who run it seem to have a great rapport with their customers; they’ve been there for 20+ years and it shows. They were kind and accomodating. The food was plated carefully and was pretty taste. My only complaints were putting margarine on my pancakes without asking and the tiny plastic utensils, which left my hands covered in syrup. However both of those go to the restaurant being unpretentious. There’s no atmoshere to speak of but it was clean. I’d eat here again but probably wouldn’t go out of my way.“

“friendly Atmosphere good service nice perfectly cooked portion sizes and food makes you feel like Sunday dinner with family“

“My new favorite spot for the best sandwiches hands down in staten island. The pastrami was perfectly done and bread made it even better . So was the chopped cheese .oh and don't get me started on the fries omg .. nice and crispy hot and no oil residue whatsoever.. keep up the good work guys . Service was a plus btw“

“A very great halal store with fresh food and many different things to choose from! Highly recommended.“

“This is one of the best chicken PLACES I ever been to and I've been in many, great chicken, very clean, employee's are awesome, and they handle your FOOD in a very sanitized way, one other thing they do it right in front of you, and there pizza is also good all around it's a great place to get your FOOD, I guarantee it, 110%,plus tax“

“We stopped by for dinner. Everything was fantastic! The owner is so nice and sweet. Grilled chicken is super!! Homemade sauce are so delicious. One of the best restaurant in Springfield! Recommended! 👏👏“

“My first time customer experience: I only had the fried chicken wings (ordered for a Super Bowl party) and they were delicious! Everyone loved them. I would have liked them fried just a little harder so you'll have to make that request, if you're like me. My only issue was I called a few days in advance to understand the procedure when ordering a large quantity of wings. On the day to order, they completely switched up on me and made me come in to pick them up immediately and when I got there, they didn't have my order ready at the time they insisted I be there. Although, I dropped everything (cooking for the party) to get there at the time they told me. Upon arriving, I received attitude because I didn't leave a name, even though they never asked me. I ended up waiting another 30 mins for my order. It cost me 1.5 hours total and I was really late for my party. I will try not to hold this against them because it was really busy for them. I would try to eat here again. I just wanted to inform anyone ordering large quantities of food to beware of that.“

“if you hear anything negative about this place it's a lie! everything they serve its like mama cooked it! finally found a spot that serves basa fish,(fried) my old spot closed, the pieces could be larger for the price ,but it's well made like my old spot! the French fries are real fries,meaning they don't get soggy if reheated! :) the $2.99 chicken an rice, FIRE! an it's filling, but if you're a fat boy like me order 2!:)“

“The Turkish food here is of high quality. We had the mixed platter of cold appetizers and the mixed meat entree. So yummy! The host and waiters were very welcoming and efficient. When they made a mistake and forgot a side we ordered, they still brought it late and did not charge us. Then they brought us tea and baklava on the house. They want you to leave happy. The sign of a well-run business. We’ll be back for sure.“

“so very good! no more chik fil a“

“Excellent food. Ordered Chicken burger, fries and friend chicken. Food was fresh, tasty and warm. More than everything, had a great conversation with Mr. Javed while waiting for my food to get ready, who is the owner of the restaurant and a thorough gentleman. Will highly recommend.“

“Best service and affordable Price!“

“Food is absolutely delicious!!. Atmosphere is super casual, decent amount of seating, staff we're kind, and friendly. Everything made to order, so be prepared to wait up to 10 minutes for a hot/fresh/delicious meal. In my opinion the 6 piece grilled tenders are the best value for your buck, definitely ask for a side of their white sauce, it's out of this world delicious!!. Food is a tad spicy, but nothing extraordinary, the spice level is fine for casual spice tolerance individuals like myself. All around great place to dine. I've dined in/out Food was great either way. 10/10 easily!.“

“LOVED IT! I love the vibe of the place- stepping into a different world with original flavors from another country with their rich heritage and organic beans. Cool place to take friends for a meetup. Highly recommend.“

“So I’ve always heard about Dave’s but never been till today, first off the service I received was beyond exceptional Dylan M took my order not only did he service with a smile he took time to figure out what I like and suggested what I should get and he was right it did not disappoint I also received my order from Angel H who also provided me and my friend service with a smile he told us how to mix are sauce for the best flavor. I truly appreciate top notch service with a smile it’s very rare now a days, the service alone will have me coming back again!!!!!“

“Great place but your store and a few around you constantly have bums breaking into your bathroom putting guide wires down the drains and all, ripping up the PNC bank right next to you and triggering the bank alarm to harass buildings with older static based alarms all around, this is related to building 55 and a very noisy storm drain at Manor drive and Norman road, thisnis an undergroubd T section that a used in combination with deep earth scamning 2854hz to find gold and silver s r wash that along with a MISSING PHENTYYLIN PACKAGE 4 YEARS AGO.to capture it in these tunnels and other nasty things. Friday 10 am the fun started from. Your store on the 26th and you and your family is most likely being targeted. Don't forget o ly speak with officers in person and when they can presentan id.“

“Food: Food was very good. It was me and my groups first time trying Mediterranean food. We loved it. The portions were amazing and surely made us all very full for the rest of the day. The spices and portions were all served greatly. 10/10
Service: Mohammad served us, he is a very funny guy. Knew how to keep a conversation while also keeping things professional and making us laugh. 10/10.
Atmosphere: Pretty simple inside. Just chairs and tables and the food serving bar. Still a very nice place.

Will go again! 10/10“

“Great food, friendly service and comfortable ambiance. We highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The chicken and beef combo was amazing.“

“I am from Montclair but travel to Newark often for their chicken, mac and cheese, onion rings, pizza and shrimp. Yum. Their employees are wonderful. The restaurant is busy because their food is worth it. It is inappropriate for anyone to suggest that their location means they should sell their good food for cheap.“

“Leaving Staten Island, I was still searching for good pizza and ready to find it. We cruised around a while looking for an open place with parking and there was Brother's. It was very tasty. Everyone was helpful and price was fair. Would repeat.“

“"This is our neighborhood Popeyes Chicken, Y'all!! 😅 No, seriously, though." I went to get some chicken wings and an Italian cheese and cheese steak. There was no one in there when I first went in, but boy did that change quickly. About 5 minutes later, it was like a family gathering full of people who did not know one another, but we had one thing in common. WE LOVE THAT CHICKEN 😂!! Y'all, we talked about the chicken and how good it is. We even stayed until a fresh batch came out. We laughed and brought up memories of the 2 staff that were still there since our younger aging, me now 50. The point is to get there and get THAT CHICKEN!! OH, the chicken steak was delicious as well. I loved that it was not dry. Also, try the pizza with the beef pepperoni slices.🤤🤤😁😍🍗🍕

Service is A+ as well.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“This place is a gem!! a must eat!! We found it through Uber Eats and ordered 1x. It was so good. The portions were amazing. Portions are like something grandma would serve her hungry kids. We visited and now I frequent it almost daily! Homefries platter is not for the faint of heart. You've got to have a hearty appetite or share it out. Grits platter...well...something of a southern treasure! Beef bacon egg and cheese sandwich is always a perfect on the run, goodie! We tried the shrimp over rice and that was nice. Chicken over rice was even better as it had a slight kick to it. And again, no matter what you order, bring a healthy appetite cause you're gonna need it and a long nap, after! These guys are amazing!! Truly! They're sweet! They're efficient! They can throw down on that gril!! Yummmmm Oh...and if you've never had it, their lemon ginger drink is amazeballs!! This place really is a gem in the middle of a jungle 😆 Visit them and be kind! Far too many ppl are not kind or feel entitled to speak to them ill mannered. Please don't! These guys really are good people and their food speaks for itself. Thank you gentlemen for always providing the best!!“
