Middle Eastern Restaurants near Tenafly, NJ

“Great food, very good service with a smile 😃“

“If you're looking for the best Koobideh kebab in New Jersey and New York, Zaffron Bloom is the place to go. Every time I visit, I'm amazed by the deliciousness of the food, especially their Tahdig. The Olivieh salad and Spanish yogurt are also quite tasty. Since it's a family-run business, the owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. I love this place and highly recommend their kebabs!??“

“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!“

“We really enjoyed our experience at Gazala's. Very reasonable prices for Manhattan. Excellent food. Very friendly and professional staff. Even the pickiest members of our party enjoyed it. I highly recommend it.“

“Me and my family decide to have a late lunch here after seeing the advertisement and reviews on instagram. We loved the food! The atmosphere and service was amazing. Finally, we have a Mediterranean place close to home. You have to come try this place and by the way they have an outdoor in the back where you can have hookah for those who are interested.“

“A True Paradise!

I'm thrilled to return to 2 Paradise Restaurant after a year, and I must say, they've taken their excellence to the next level! My previous experiences were already top-notch, but the improvements they've made are truly impressive.

I ordered two chicken wraps, and the flavors were absolutely delightful. The quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation shone through in every bite.
I highly recommend 2 Paradise Restaurant to anyone seeking exceptional taste and value. The team's dedication to continuous improvement is genuinely admirable.“

The delivery was also fast and professional. Honestly, every detail shows how much they care about their customers. Highly recommended!“

“What an amazing experience. The food, the staff everything. The chicken shawarma was unbelievable. The staff was so friendly and the owner even took time out his very busy day to thank me personally for doing business there. What a wonderful place run by a wonderful human being.“

“Yemeni food in the heart of the Bronx. Authentic, flavorful and economical. We had the Lamb Haneeth, 10/10 and also had the hummus with meat 9/10. They start you off with broth soup & salad & the bread was perfect. Cost about $20 a person and we got a few cold drinks.“

“Amazing food and great customer servicing!!Highly recommended💯“

“Delicious and fresh food! Got the Mazzah platter and got to sample many incredible dishes! The eggplant and falafel were my favorites! Got the lamb special too and WOW, it did not disappoint!! I think the owner served us! He was so kind and patient with us as we made our choices! Even gave us some baklava which was INCREDIBLE?!!!! I will be dreaming of it!! Can’t wait to come back! Thank you!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!!“

“let me tell you all something people of Teaneck. you need to come to sababa grill!!!!. the food is fresh, yummy and delicious. everything you get will blow your minds and pallet. I highly recommend the Moli and Dani shawarma. the brisket for Shabbat is Divine. Dani is a pleasure to talk to and he operates his business like no other. much respect Dani keep doing what you do and can't wait to come back this week“

“This restaurant has been a cherished part of my life since my elementary school days. The garlic sauce is amazing, and their grilled chicken with the red sauce is pure magic. The boss's warm hospitality makes you feel at home, and their Basbousa dessert is a must buy after dinner/lunch. I can't rate it anything less than 5/5 - I'll be a lifelong customer!“

“One of my favorite places in Harlem to hear great music while enjoying food & company!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Nice and clean place!! I loved the pizza and the cheese cake!!!!!!!!!!“

“I like the setup of the food very clean some Buffet places you go to it's nasty and messy this was very impressive and the food was reasonable. I didn't get a lot but it was enough to satisfy me . It was really tasty well seasoned and and freshly made.“

“Do not refer to the five stars. They do not reflect my opinion. I just wanted to say that perhaps a short explanation should be added somewhere that the hummus is intended for the palate of Columbia University students so that Israeli clients do not develop expectations.“

“My family wasn’t familiar with Turkish food, but we decided to try this restaurant because of the great reviews. We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was, and the staff was so friendly, making our dining experience comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you, Salih!“

“In a diverse city like New York, there are flavors from many countries. This is a Yemeni restaurant. Although the store is not big, it attracts many diners, perhaps just to taste different flavors. It may not pay much attention to hygiene, but the chef makes every dish with care, and I think their grilled fish rice is very delicious. Maybe it’s because I love fish….“

“Fantastic Doner, the cuisine is exceptional.“

“This place is beyond delicious. Better than 53rd, better than any halal restaurants in the area. This is the only shawarma I’ve tried in NY that tastes just like my homelands. The flavors are on point!! The meat and ingredients are very high quality. It’s a blessing to have a healthy take out spot that’s open late. I highly recommend the lamb shawarma combo and lamb over rice!! They are very generous with their portions.
- More of a take out/catering spot
- Service is very kind but can be slow. It is worth the 30-40 minutes wait!!!“

“We ordered the beef shawarma, chicken shawarma, and sambousek. Everything tasted so fresh and VERY delicious! It was such a pleasant experience. Ordering and delivery were pretty quick also! I would absolutely recommend! Thank you, Al Basha!“

“Great food and service ….“

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

“Sooooooo glad they’ve an outpost in my backyard. Tastes like the one on 54th, without the long line in the cold. Seriously how is this place always near empty, must be a lot of pick up/uber orders. Usually come here instead of Starbucks neck door if I wanna do some light work out my apt. Staff are super nice.“

“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!“

“So good and fresh, very tasty, clean place The rice is buenisimo“

“A hidden gem I stumbled upon by chance—this place is the complete opposite of fast food. The restaurant is spotless, and the food is fresh, high-quality, and delicately seasoned, evoking the warmth of a home-cooked meal. Portions are generous for the price, and the service was genuinely excellent. If you're looking for a healthy, comforting alternative to fast food, I highly recommend it. Truly a delightful experience!“

“Un buen restaurante, deliciosa comida Turca, buena decoración, excelente atención, variedad en el menú . Muchas gracias“

“The food was incredible. The service, top notch. Depending on what you get, and how much you eat, you can share a meal. The portions are decent for the price. Would definitely go back if I'm here again. The ambiance was perfect and really pretty but not over done.“

“Extremely good menu and even better chicken. I always stop by now whenever I come down from Connecticut. Cannot recommend enough.

Kid-friendliness: Close to bus stops and very walkable from schools. No inappropriate or risque art or posters, I recommend as a great meet up spot for teens.“

“Its really good, you have to ask for hot otherwise you'll get frozen and it's not the sameI like to add, their time is very weird I only go there on Saturday cause I work the whole week sometime I go at 8am and I find them just opening and have to wait about an hour to get it hot and other times I go at 10am and they tell me it's too late I don't understand their time but always happy when I get this amazing meal hot.“

“They are great, friendly staff with great food.“
