Middle Eastern Restaurants near Wayne, NJ

“This platters spot offers fresh and tasty food. I tried the mixed platter, and while the lamb was just decent (it tasted like it might be from a box), the chicken was wonderfully juicy and moist. Don't miss the crispy wings, especially with the delicious mango habanero sauce! Their menu has plenty of other options. It's a small place, so it's probably best for takeout.

plenty of parking“

“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!“

“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 🏆“

“Zaffron Bloom is an absolute GEM in Hasbrouck Heights. The family owned restaurant offers authentic Persian cuisine cooked fresh to order. The owners are extremely kind and will always do their best to make sure the food is good and you enjoy yourself. I’ve been looking for some authentic persian food for a while and this is easily my top choice in NJ. Seriously if you are ever in the area and are considering going here it is well worth it.
The food is cooked fresh when you order so take some time to enjoy the atmosphere and menu. They have everything from homemade cultural teas to fantastic kebabs and desserts. Not to mention their food is Halal for anyone curious. Like I said before if you want to enjoy some genuine Persian food there is no where else to look!“

“We went for the first time last Sunday. All I can say is wow. From the wait staff to the kitchen staff to management, everyone was incredibly friendly, unbelievably accommodating when it came to food allergies (they came out to talk about everything in specific detail to make sure it was safe before it was cooked and served), and the food was absolutely delicious!! I would absolutely recommend trying Marakesh out if you haven't been. They will be more than happy to go over the menu and explain anything you might not recognize or need changed because of restrictions. You can also call ahead so it can be prepped ahead of time for you. I will definitely be back again!!“

“Bismillah. Assalamualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

My mother and I drove here from an hour away for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, and Alhamdulillah, we enjoyed our time immensely.

We found street parking easily right outside, the ambience and atmosphere is lovely,, the people were kind and took care of us with a smile (they treated everyone that walked in like family!), and the food delicious from soups to meals. The pita was soft and delicious, perfectly made and enjoyed immensely by us Pakistanis who live on roti! The salad had the best spicy kick and the shrimp meal we ordered was absolutely wonderful - coming from someone who married someone that grew up at the shore and just as picky about seafood now, this cast iron dish was cooked to perfection. I wanted to bring it home for my beach boy to try but it never made it home (Astaghfirullah 😅). But it's okay cuz we're coming back to get some more,
إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰه
InshaAllah and also try all the things!!!

Highly recommend these guys for the food, the people and the atmosphere. Allahumma Barik, Yemen Land 🤲🏽“

“Thank you Nouri Cafe for your always great tasteful Middle Eastern food and your kind working staff. God bless you all 🥰🙏“

“Huge shout out to Fat Moe’s Mediterranean Food on Rte 23 in Butler. I placed a large order consisting of kebab platter, shawarma cheesesteak sandwich, mixed grill platter, tabouleh salad, stuffed grape leaves, baba ghanoush, cheese borek, and basbousa, accompanied by pickles and sauces,for delivery for 4pm. Not only were they punctual but the food was delicious and reminded me of my days in Egypt where I grew up. Furthermore, at around 5 pm I got a call from Moe, the owner to ask me whether I was satisfied with the order and to let him know how he could make it better… That goes way beyond quality service !! I highly recommend his restaurant and wish him the best of luck !👏👏👏“

“I've been coming here for years!!! The most authentic Greek food I've had here in the states. Everything on the menu is a hit. The food takes about 10 minutes if you order in-person. Everything is fresh, tasty, and quality. There is limited seating indoors but plenty of additional seating outside to immerse yourself in the Montclair streetscape. The owner, Efi, is extremely accommodating and professional. She cares deeply about the quality of food and service. I can't recommend this place enough. Fair warning though: you will crave Efi's Gyro after trying it!“

“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!“

“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 :)“

“Best restaurant in Bergen county and Passaic 👌“

“Fresh and delicious Thank you !💜💜💜“

“It’s really tasty 😋 food and clean atmosphere“

“These guys are the BEST!!!!! Every single item in the menu is sooooo delicious!!!! I go there quite often since I discovered it!!!! The price is very fair. They only accept cash and Venmo however, so if you don’t know that prior to arriving- it could be a little turn off. However, there is a local shop with an atm nearby where you can withdraw cash from!!!! I do not recommend leaving only because you don’t have cash, because the food is AMAZING!!!!!! You can eat outside, they have a few tables and chairs!!! I usually go there for take-out!“

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

“This dessert shop is such a gem in this Palestine nabe! They serve the best kunefe I’ve had — crispy, cheesy, and absolutely satisfying every time. I enjoyed the baklava also with its perfectly sweetness and flakiness. Add to that is the affogato, which pairs perfectly with the desserts.

Even more special is watching the staff prepare the baklava and kunefe — it feels like watching an artist perform a zen ritual. Coming all the way from Vietnam on and off, but whenever I’m nearby, I always make sure to stop in. It’s become one of my must-visit spots for a sweet treat!“

“The small Shwarma got the Khaboos bread (Dubai style pita), which is what I get all the time and I always try for this even if it cost to be 50 minutes one way.
It’s worth the drive, that’s what I eat is extremely soulful. 🙏🏻❤️😇“

“We loved this place! Came once for brunch and once for dinner and both times food was great, fresh, great taste, large portions, nicely presented. We highly recommend this restaurant. The service is excellent as well, the waiters are always ready to go out of their way to make you happy.“

“**Review for Toros Restaurant**

I had a great experience at Toros! The meat was exceptionally tender and fresh, making each bite enjoyable. The bread was also tasty, with a perfect balance of crispiness and softness. Overall, a fantastic dining spot that I highly recommend!“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Nablus Sweets! There was a dessert on display that looked amazing, but it usually comes topped with pistachios, which I’m allergic to. I’ve always wanted to try it, and without me asking, the kind gentleman working there actually went out of his way to freshly bake me one without pistachios, even though that’s not how they usually serve it (and it tasted amazing). He didn’t have to, but his kindness and thoughtfulness truly made my day. The desserts are absolutely delicious, but the hospitality here is just as sweet. The staff are very kind and accommodating. Highly recommend this place to anyone in Paterson looking for authentic, freshly made sweets!“

“Simply put: AMAZING! THE BEST!“
