“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 😋“

“If you’re looking for **authentic Bangladeshi food** that’s both **delicious and affordable**, *Affan* is the place to go! Located right here in New Jersey, this restaurant delivers an experience that feels like a warm, home-cooked meal — full of rich flavors, comforting spices, and genuine hospitality. We went with our **autistic daughter**, and the experience was truly wonderful. The staff were incredibly kind, patient, and understanding, making sure she felt completely comfortable the entire time. It’s clear that *Affan* is genuinely **autism-friendly**, and we deeply appreciated how calm, welcoming, and sensory-considerate the atmosphere was. Every dish we tried was exceptional — the biryani was fragrant and perfectly spiced, the curries were flavorful without being overwhelming, and the parathas were soft and freshly made. Portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and the cleanliness of the restaurant is impressive. You can really tell that they care about both their food and their guests. Whether you’re Bangladeshi and missing home-cooked flavors or just love discovering new cuisines, *Affan* will exceed your expectations. It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines **authentic taste, affordability, cleanliness, and inclusivity** so beautifully. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back“

“This Turkish pizza spot out did the rest of pizza places in New Jersey! I love their thin pizza and you cannnot come here without trying their buffalo chicken pizza! The concept is so luxury and the quality is super upscale this experience was a 10/10 for me and I definitely recommend to try!!!!“

“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.“

“Just had the Monday thru Friday lunch special and added feta to my salad. With a soda it was just under $20. Absolutely delicious.“

“​I got the sliders and tenders, and they were cooked to absolute perfection—juicy on the inside, perfectly crispy on the outside, and packed with flavor. The spice levels are incredibly accurate, and that Dave's sauce is pure gold. On top of the amazing food, the service was fast and the staff was super friendly.“

“نكهات الطعام والخدمة مذهلة للغاية“

“Thank you for the warning before I burned my face off with the reaper chicken strip 🤓🥺 Food is tasty, staff is friendly, it’s a whole vibe..LOVE IT!! 💗💗💗💗💗“

“Wow 🤩 the burger here is out of this world!!! I can’t believe how many times I’ve driven past this place on 17 and not stopped in. We ordered 2 double smash silver classic with fries. The sandwich is very well put together and tastes incredible! Service is fast and friendly. Can’t wait to return!!“

“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.“

“The best coffee ever and the desserts 5 stars“

“The food was easily the best Arab food I’ve had. Ever. The owners were super nice and actually invited us to sit instead of take out, and we got complimentary toum (also best toum I’ve ever had), peppers, pickles, and some sort of Arab bread. The bread was nice and crackly and there was a LOT of it. The toum, unlike other Arab places with toum, was actually light and had that whipped texture that is desired. The garlic flavor was on point and not too overpowering. The star of the show was easily the crispy chicken shawarma, though. It looks small in some videos, but it was wider than my mouth. I had to do some talking to find out myself, but to get the fries, toum, and pickles next to the shawarma, you need to ask for the crispy chicken shawarma combo. It was super crispy, and the breading was very nicely toasted. I kept finding myself layering the top with some pickles, fries, and more toum. They also drizzled some pomegranate molasses on the chicken shawarma, which gave it a tangy but also fruity aftertaste. We also ordered the charcoal chicken and kebab. The kebab, instead of normal beef on a stick, actually came with some yellow rice and some REALLY GOOD spicy seasoned bread that was very soft and moist on some parts and crispy on the others. You could literally see the spice particles on it. The charcoal chicken was juicy, tender, and had that charcoal roasted flavoring. It even came with a bunch of complimentary fries. The fries on both the shawarma and the charcoal chicken was nicely battered, and the shawarma fries were very well seasoned. The only thing is that the bathroom is through a door that leads upstairs, and you have to open two doors. If you’re someone like me and don’t like the feeling of putting grip on things with sticky stuff on your hands, you won’t like that. It’s one of those turn knobs. Finally, the music made me feel like I was actually back in Abu Dhabi watching fire shows while eating falafel. Please visit, they are amazing people who make amazing food!“

“Bence bolgenin en iyisi, yemekler çok lezzetli, hiç bir şey baştan salma değil. Çakışanlar Cok saygılı. Amerika’da gittiğim en iyi restaurant diyebilirim ve iyi bir Türk yemeği yemek isteyenlere tavsiye ederim. Adana kebap, lahmacun ve kuş başı pidesi ni denedim ve bayildim. İnşallah diğerleri gibi bozmadan devam ederler.“

“The food is absolutely delicious! We ordered the mixed grill platter, and it was more than enough for two people. Everything was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I’ve been here several times and keep coming back because the food and service are consistently excellent. Highly recommend!“

“I was introduced to this place about 6 years ago and I continue to still go to this place whenever I am craving a good gyro! I have moved and still continue to only go here and buy gyros! I ate there recently with my best friend (something I never do is eat there) so when I ate there the staff was very welcoming and friendly and even asked about the service to make sure it was perfect for us! I don’t really like gyros from anywhere else there’s has a special touch! I hope everyone can experience it!“

“I went to their Grand opening today!!! The food is fresh and tastes delicious!!! Can’t wait to go back, friendly owners, great location and late hours! What more can one ask for!!!!“

“Best mix platers in town“

“I used to live in nyc. Since moving to jersey years ago, i have been looking for a place that does Falafel and gyro platters the new york way. This spot is exactly that and no other spot compares! Ive tried so many disappointing falafels in jersey. This one was perfect! Exactly the same as my fav cart in NYC. I used to have to go to nyc when i craved this so im so happy i no longer have to make that journey. Manhattan Halal Gyro has to be one of the most underrated restaurants in northern jersey. The team was friendly and lovely. The prices were insanely good! The quality was perfect. Good vegetables and loved the grilled onions on the platter. The sauces were exactly what they were supposed to be and the falafel was so perfect - soft but crunchy - exactly what i love in a good falafel.

This also tastes the same as the falafel i get when i visit family in the middle east.

So go try it!“

“Best restaurant in NJ. Always fresh tasty and delicious food. A must try!“

“Excellent supermarket with a great selection of products. The staff is friendly and helpful, and it’s easy to find everything you need in one place. They also have great prices and frequent deals on groceries. Highly recommend shopping here.“

“nice place, delicious 😋 food, quality was excellent also it was a friendly experience I really recommend it“

“Came to Tribos Peri Peri in Saddle Brook with my husband and had such a great experience! The service from Hasan was amazing. Our food was running a little late, but Hasan was so accommodating and made sure we received our order as quickly as possible. He was incredibly attentive and made sure everything was taken care of.

The yucca fries were absolutely delicious, and the half chicken was so good! Everything was flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommend Tribos—great food and excellent service!“

“Highly recommend the birria tacos 🌮“

“A not to be missed spot for classic and creative Indian cuisine. Chef's creations are innovative and delicious!“

“GERMAN DONER KEBAB - AN ENLIGHTENMENT If you're from Berlin, it feels like there's a kebab store on every other corner. So I can recognize and judge a kebab when I see it. Even just leaving Berlin and Brandenburg, the kebab experience changes within Germany. The further you get away from Berlin, the worse the kebabs get. Some time ago in New York, I discovered one or two places trying to make a kebab. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find a proper kebab in New York, despite the name kebab. What was being sold was called a kebab, but had very little to do with a kebab and tasted even less like a kebab. All the more enlightenment then... the recommendation of a friend living in Brooklyn. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. And then the first kebab there since 2018 here in New York. I can't even describe how happy I was. It looked like a kebab, it tasted like a kebab and came pretty close to a kebab from Berlin. Really well made. Incl. tax 12.51 dollars is a bit steep, but still good value for New York. The portion was good and filling. Everything is really fresh and well seasoned. The bread was just as it should be, thin and crispy. This was pretty much the best kebab I've had in a very, very long time (with the exception of one visit to Berlin). I will definitely go back there again. GERMAN DONER KEBAB - EINE ERLEUCHTUNG Wenn man aus Berlin kommt, hat man gefühlt an jeder zweiten Ecke einen Dönerladen. Ich kann also einen Döner erkennen und beurteilen, wenn ich ihn sehe. Allein schon Berlin und Brandenburg verlassend wird das mit dem Döner innerhalb von Deutschland anders. Je weiter man sich von Berlin entfernt, desto schlechter werden die Döner. In New York entdeckte ich schon vor einiger Zeit den einen oder anderen Anbieter mit dem Versuch, einen Döner zu machen. Bisher konnte ich leider in New York trotz Bezeichnung Döner keinen ordentlichen Döner entdecken. Das was da verkauft wurde, heißt zwar Döner, hatte mit Döner aber recht wenig zu tun und schmeckte noch viel weniger nach einem Döner. Um so mehr dann die Erleuchtung... die Empfehlung eines Freundes in Brooklyn lebend. "German Doner Kebab" in Brooklyn. Und dort dann der erste Döner seit 2018 hier in New York. Ich kann gar nicht beschreiben, wie sehr ich mich gefreut hatte. Es sah aus wie ein Döner, es schmeckte wie ein Döner und kam schon recht nah an einen Döner aus Berlin heran. Richtig gut gemacht. Incl. Tax 12,51 Dollar ist zwar sportlich, aber für New York wiederum preiswert. Die Portion ordentlich und sättigend. Wirklich alles frisch und gut gewürzt. Das Brot genau so wie es sein muss, dünn und knusprig. Also das war seit sehr sehr langer Zeit so ziemlich der beste Döner (mit Ausnahme einem Besuch in Berlin), den ich seit langer Zeit gegessen habe. Dahin kehre ich auf alle Fälle wieder zurück. -------------------------------------------------“
