“Wow this place is so beautiful! The ambiance everything was amazing mashallah I really enjoyed my visit here. Came to try some Morrocan food for iftaar and for reservations right away. The service was beyond excellent. The owner was friendly and made sure I had a great experience. Food was very tasty and delicious! Really enjoyed it and the soup and Moroccan tea was my favorite! Highly recommend :) alhamdulilah will be back again when I visit from Texas thank you !“
“Clean and comfortable restaurant. Srava the waitress will take the time to explain the menu. He is kind. The food is authentic. I recommend the tilapia dish. It is spice,rich and healthy. 100 stats to this restaurantKid-friendliness: Srava is very friendly“
“If I could add more stars, I would. The staff was absolutely delightful, everything was clean, and best of all--the food was amazing! My only complaint is that I'm now completely addicted to their platters! 100 percent coming back here again (and again, and again)!“
“The owner introduced a new appetizer, Dynamite Chicken, that brought me back to a high-end restaurant in Pakistan. The taste is so authentic, flavorful, and vibrant. Every dish had its own unique flavor. Medium spicy was perfect. I came after many years and it still remains my favorite halal Thai Restaurant in NJ, beats all the spots I went to in Houston and Dallas too!“
“i got mix shawarma, they had iftari for every one who needed to break their fast , and it was free. the service was amazing, my food came out super quick, the quality and the quantity is just perfect ,best gyro in nj! highly recommend and the great service from maliak , she was the sweetest and helped with alot. she passed out dates to everyone when it was time to open our fast , and told us to help our self to anything from the table . will be coming again with my whole family! loved it“
“Finally, a Pakistani/Indian restaurant with food that isn't overshadowed with spices and oil. We visited Madina Fountain BBQ & Grill this evening and were all pleasantly surprised. All 10 of us thoroughly enjoyed the buffet which included fruit chaat, pakoras, chops, biryani, salaan, indo-chinese, haleem and many more dishes. Even my mom who doesn't ever enjoy eating out thought it tasted the closest to homemade that she's had at a restaurant in a very long time. Not a place for fine dining but if you enjoy good food, the rest is easy to overlook. Gracious owners, good service and amazing food! For $25 it's a steal!“

“The food is always excellent, authentic and delicious. It's perfect spice level and taste is excellent.Their seekh kababs are awesome.Owner is very nice and polite. They always give some complementary sweet dish with the order which is really great. one of the Best Pakistani Restaurant in New Jersey.I will highly recommend this place.A delightful experience every time!“
“Current Review -Was in mood for Kabobs in this cold weather and stopped at this place late evening. Ordered Lamb Chops, Lamb Shank Pulao and Chicken Kofta Kabobs.Didn’t disappoint me. Amazing taste, flavorful and had authentic reflections of Mediterranean cuisine. Their Lamb items are the best among the list.Their complementary Bread and Salads with different sauces is noteworthy.My recommendation is Lamb Chops and Lamb Shank Pulao. Shank was so well cooked that the meat was falling off from the bone and literally melting in the mouth.It’s an open casual dining place. Plate portion is good, competitive price for excellent taste and food quality. Customer service was good this time and could be because of less traffic.A must visit is recommended if you crave for Mediterranean food. I will visit again.Review from 2 years ago -We family and friends visit for dinner and tried Chicken Chapli, Lamb Chop, Chicken Lentil Soup and Chicken Gyro. Undoubtedly, the Lentil Soup and Lamb Chop were best from the list. Customer service is not good for family dine-in.“
“Wanted to try a local Indian place and this place came up in my search. I got the butter chicken with basmati rice and paratha. I am so happy I gave this restaurant a go! Food was excellent! Butter chicken was so flavorful. I was nervous it would be too spicy for me bc I don’t like too too spicy but this was just the right amount of kick for me. I can’t wait to order from them again! The rice and paratha were delicious too! Thank you so much!!“
“We had a fantastic experience at this royal chicken & biscuit location! Welcoming and friendly staff, everything was clean, and the food came out quick and delicious. This was my first time having royal chicken & biscuit and it did not disappoint! I got the chicken sandwich with fries as well as the chicken over rice. Everything was well seasoned and just amazing. We will definitely be back!“
“The crispy chicken burger was a highlight, boasting a satisfying crunch and flavorful chicken patty. The loaded fries and masala fries were tasty sides, though the portion sizes could be more generous. The coleslaw was fresh and provided a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors of the main dishes.“
“The OG hot chicken sandwich spot!!! My family and I can't live without Namkeen. Everytime we go, the service is amazing!! They are all such kind people and take such great care of their customers. The waffle sandwich hits EVERY time! The portions are huge and I HIGHLY recommend trying them. So glad they are in central Jersey now :)“
“Fresh made to order fried chicken with great flavor: piping/steaming hot and juicy dark meat. The wings are giant, the same size as a thigh piece! I'm lucky to live near a place that serves Halal Chicken and Waffles--only in America, and in central Jersey of all places.“
“The peri fries are flavorful and crispy, the best fries I've ever had. I'm obsessed with the crispy grilled chicken sandwich, I get it every time I come here. The staff is amazing and provide great service.They also play throwback songs too so it's definitely a vibe for the millennials“

“I went to Jersey Kabot for lunch on Sunday, and I really liked what I ordered. Good portion; Very good flavor, food fresh and prepared at the moment. They provide dressings, and the table is laid out with everything necessary to season the food.The boy who helped me was very friendly and willing to guide me in what I asked him.I also ordered takeout, equally hot and made to order.I liked the atmosphere, very relaxing and has a quieter and more discreet space.I will eat at Jersey Kabot again.“
“We went for a family dinner, we were very pleased, it was superb in terms of both taste and hygiene, the waiters were friendly and very kind, and we would like to thank the boss, Mr. Nazim, for his interest and concern, he hosted us wonderfully.“
“This restaurant is punching well above its weight. People, don't overthink thiswe got the lamb platter, and a lamb/chicken pizza. generous portion. very affordable pricing. good flavor. best part? the lamb platter is basically a version of nyc halal cart platter. but maybe even better in some ways? pickled cabbage, chick peas, hummus, idk what else. it's a good f-ing platter. Flavor still pretty goodThe pizza? ok not the trattoria style we're used in this area. but also good! $17 for 16", with meat, veggies, and generous but not obscene amount of cheese. c'monon top of all that, they included 2 complimentary sauce cups. one was some sort of black pepper ranch (but not ranch), and the other a fruitier, chutney-ish sort of sauce. they have an interesting flavoroverall, good pricing, and for the pricing, good quality, good flavor, and good portion. more and more, this sort of offering is harder to find in today's economy.food was ready on time. owner was nice. addressed discrepancies with grubhub, made substitutions easy for us and pricing did not changeIf nothing changes we will take out from pita+hummus again and again“
“"Flame Kabeb House is a hidden gem! Their shawarmas are out of this world, packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere makes you feel like you're in the Middle East. Best kabeb house in the area, hands down! ??"“
“This is undoubtedly the #1 desi ( Indian + Pakistani+ Bangladeshi ) food place in NJ -- hands down. None of the super-hyped places like Mughal etc. come anywhere close, We ordered party trays of Lamb Bhuna and Bihari Chicken Kabab yesterday -- it was amazing -- out of the world.“
“This place is incredible. Every single dish that we ordered popped with flavor (chicken kabab with rice and salad, a traditional gyro, and Mediterranean platter w/baba ganoush, dolmas, grilled vegetables, falafel and pita). Everything had a lightness to it, freshly made and expertly prepared. This was nowhere more evident than with the baklava with its light crispy pastry, delicious honey and pistachio paste. The decor is warm and comfortable with exuberant music. We loved it and are definitely coming back. Btw, I felt that the portions were generous, but if you are value minded, you owe it to yourself to try the daily specials. We had the gyro on a Tuesday for $6.99 !“
“Must try this place!! Amazing food and service! Catering is also excellent!!We ordered several chicken dishes, and vegetarian dishes, everything was delicious..butter chicken, Kathi rolls, veggie kabob cutlets and soya chops tastes so good.Highly recommend!!“
“"I visited this place today and the food was fantastic. the chef prepared everything with care and the service was excellent. The food was freshly made and had a lovely touch of charm to it. I am thoroughly impressed with this place and I will be back. I highly recommend it to everyone."?“

“We ordered the Yemeni chicken Mandi along with the Bihari kebab for an iftar party and it was such a big hit. The food was bursting with flavor and was such a delight to have had Mandi that tasted so authentic. The broth, Sahawaq and Toum that accompanied the Mandi was spot on. The owner was nice enough to give us complimentary salad which was also super delicious. Everyone enjoyed the food and said nothing but good things about it. Will definitely order from them again.“
“Sometimes I just wanna cry because of how good this food is. Specifically the lamb over rice. I want to cry every second that this food isn’t in my mouth. I even want to cry when it is in my mouth because of how good it tastes. If you cry a lot I wouldn’t recommend going here.“
“Food is always top notch here. My usual go to is the goat biryani medium spicy, which is the perfect level of heat. Hot but not flaming. If you’re lucky, you’ll also get a bit of marrow which, if you’re like me, you’ll love.Their chicken biryani (boneless and bone in varieties) and hariyali kebabs are also great. Get the chicken 65 for a good starter and wash it all down with a mango lassi!“
“Masa restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with their top-notch food quality. From the moment you take your first bite, you can taste the commitment to freshness and flavor. Each dish is a culinary masterpiece, prepared with precision and care. The diverse menu offers a wide range of options, ensuring there's something for every palate. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Shalimar's food quality will leave you coming back for more.“
“Probably the best Goat and lamb curry dishes in the area. Love the sizzling BBQ grilled dishes also. All dishes have lots of flavor with their own specialty spices. For the most part it's not crowded, only on weekends during evening hours. Seemed like I got slightly more food when I did takeout vs dining in. Food is piping hot even after bringing it home. I still prefer to dine in. Fast service and prices are good.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are OK. This restaurant specializes in the majority of non-vegetarians.Kid-friendliness: Brought both my kids, they enjoyed it. I've seen many kids there, friendly environment.“
“I am a sucker for good, clean and an inviting environment when looking for a Good Pakistani Food! And oh boy!!!did Good Food by Uzma delivered! The place is nice and cozy! We had lunch on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm. Food was spot on! Fresh, tasty and delicious! Highly recommend it!“

“This shop is located in a small strip mall in Route 130, I went there to buy some chicken, they have organic chicken and best goat meat, actually I went to buy chicken only, but came back with a bag full of items, they have restaurant service too, a very well maintained neat place. I bought items like kebabs and butter chicken too? it was amazing and reasonably charged. Thank you, will come again.“
“I got chicken kababs and white sauce. Kababs are very fresh, and green sauce is very, very tasty. Very reasonable price $2 per kabab. When I tasted it, the white sauce was good, too; I will try it at home too.Mr. Kamran is very, very friendly and hospitable. Thank you, Mr. Kamran!!“
“Our very first time visiting Mughal. Valentine was great! He was extremely attentive to us and we enjoyed our family dinner. The food was great but most importantly Valentine made our day special by taking care of all the details. All in all wonderful experience.“
“Awesome place for comfort food in New Brunswick. The Mac n cheese bites are awesome. They pair it with a homemade “Big Mac sauce”. The cheese fries were great too, I believe they have their own homemade cheese sauce. Everything is priced in line with what you would expect for a local restaurant. It came to $35 for two people. Parking is a challenge but that’s New Brunswick for you.“
“recently dined at Tribos Peri Peri and had a delightful experience. From the moment I entered, the ambiance was inviting and the staff, including Shiva, were incredibly welcoming. Shiva's attentive service added to the enjoyment of my meal. I opted for the peri peri chicken, and it was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice. The sides were also flavorful and complemented the main dish well. The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation was impressive. Overall, Tribos Peri Peri exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone craving delicious peri peri cuisine."??“
“One of the best place to get fresh kabab and there is amazing even you eat on 2nd day as well. Only take out but super amazing food quality. Loved it. Owner is a great person very down to earth always smiles. May Allah give him more success“
“Food is generally very good. Love the ambiance and the staff is friendly. But…..We went for the iftaar buffet and it was not as good it could have been. The choice of selection was not very impressive. There was only one grilled item and the both the curries were very similar in taste. Nonetheless, i would recommend this place for but strictly for a la carte.“
“This is one of the best Indian Food restaurants in the area. Highly recommend the Chicken Tikka and the Paneer Lababdar are excellent go to - choices. Samosas is okay, the fresh naan is excellent. The mango lassi is one of the best in the area but is a small cup for the price. The buffet has an excellent selection and includes some unique indo-chinese.Vegetarian options: Paneer Lababdar“
“O boy, you want a quick bite with healthy meal in reasonable price this is your spot.Stop by for brunch, we had…Halwa poori specialEggs sunny side upPlain parathasTea.The service was quick, the space is small. It’s also a grocery store with goods from Asian countries ( India and Pakistan).A must try spot if you are ever craving fresh poories and parathas!“
“I came here with 20 other people, but even with this rush, the food was phenomenal and the service was great. I got a double bacon cheeseburger and a fat b, and I will definitely get them again. Recommend this place to anyone near by, it's a small restaurant with LOTS of options“
“It's been a while since I've had C&R. But this place brought back memories of standing in line on 53rd & 6th. Most importantly, the flavor was reminiscent of NYC carts. I was worried that it would become dry in the time it took the delivery to get to us but that wasn't the case. Even when I ate leftovers 3 days later, it was pretty good. Needless to say, next time I have a chicken & rice craving, I know where I'll be ordering from.“
“We came in for lunch and were not disappointed. The service was fast and friendly and the food was great. The spring rolls and chicken satai were very flavorful. The pad Thai was also great, and the portions were large. The rest room was clean. Overall, a great “
“I’m only rating 5 based off first time visit and I’m not trying to fill their rating with something negative bc to someone else this place may be a lot better to them or a lot worst. Maybe I’ll come on a different day at a different time and it’ll be a different experience. But for today it was like 330 in the afternoon I’m out here for work so I stopped in because my plug in lunchbox wasn’t working so maybe it was a sign. I got a Mini Zac which honestly was really good the sauce which seems like some type of creamy honey/sweet mustard idk how to describe it but seemed familiar was great I don’t usually like lettuce and tomatoe on burgers bc they usually take away from the burger. This was not the case here, the burger to me had great flavor that couldn’t be masked. If you’re a crispy fries type of person these are perfect nothing burned or too crispy where it’s inedible, perfect. The only thing I didn’t like was it wasn’t busy to have an idea of atmosphere and the customer service was good for the most part. I asked if they had a menu with some pictures or description bc they only have like 6 things on display on the screens above the cashier and the kiosk wasn’t working I’m sure bc everything where there would picture was greyed out. The response I got was “no we don’t have one” and “ You need pictures ….”“

“One of the best restaurant in New Brunswick Downtown, I will recommend a full meal who wants to completely enjoy the meal starting from hot and sour chicken soup and Dynamite Chicken and Dim sums. Main course you can select based on your palette. I will for sure recommend their ChowMein. They have good selection of mock-tails too. I personally like the Mango Mojito.“
“We love coming here for good halal burgers. The service is really good and it's a great place to come with friends and family. There isn't a lot of seating, so it depends on the time of day when you can find seating inside. Overall, it was a great experience.“
