I’ve been looking for a Bereket replacement for two decades now. Still looking.This is the only option for middle eastern style shawarma/ kofta kebob sandwiches in the hood. The average to poor, halal trucks don’t count.The sandwiches are decent. The chicken is always way too dry and flavorless, can you say under seasoned ? Stick with beef and lamb, and alway get it spicy (3.5/5 level of heat).The star of this spot is the falafel. It’s superior on multiple levels. 4/5. The tahini it comes with is water downed and lacks flavor, ask for garlic sauce, aka toum. You’re welcome.Little $$$ for what you get but it’s all we got so there’s that.
Tasty falafel/shawarma and friendly staff. This is a great addition to the neighborhood and my go-to place for a quick and healthy takeout meal.

A great place! Falafel and everything else is absolutely scrumptious and the service is excellent. I go here now several time a week and I just love it. I was so sad when Jerusalem Restaurant closed, but now I grieve no more. Don't hesitate to patronize Zurna.

Nice little place. Amazing addition to the neighborhood. The falafel is great, very nicely balanced across the board, filled just the right amount of everything else. Not too much sauce or salt like many places do to hide sub-par tastes. The actual pita was fresh and airy.Pricing is beyond great and the service was super friendly. My toddler was screaming his head off, because his mum was next door doing her eyebrows. One of the guys came out and offered him a falafel ball. The thing was so good I ate half of it lol, so I had to go in to buy a full meal and loved it.

My first time eating here though I’ve lived nearby for years now. The falafel pita was amazing and the hot sauce is great will be back.My son wanted to leave a review too he says this place is really good they have the best falafel ?
One of the best lamb shawarma I had in NJ/NY. Not a good place to dine in tough, but for the halal food, I can't give anything but 5-stars!

Got the beef and lamb shawarma, ate in. Meat was dry and grainy with no flavor, terrible. Service was friendly but not very helpful. Good price though.

This place is the truth. The food is fresh and prepared with care. Falafel is maybe the best I’ve ever had.

We got the falafel wrap and shawarma wrap. They were both stuffed with filling and flavorful. The shawarma was crisp and moist, and also had a nice little kick of spiciness. The falafel was also delicious - it had coriander seeds which gave it extra bursts of flavor which I loved.Those who like it saucy, I might recommend asking for an extra side of tahini or white sauce. Will definitely be back to try more of their dishes!!
