Balagan Reviews
Balagan is definitely a strange place because of the staff however the food is authentic and very tasty. I agree with others about the prices but the portions are enormous and there'll be leftovers so it's still a good deal. My recommendation is to split a platter between two people because there's more than enough for both of you and try the spicy carrots, they're unreal.
The word.Balagan means mess. This place is a.tiny little hole in the wall with neon OPEN sign out front. It has zero curb appeal which make you think twice about entering and there is little to no seating, but guess what....the food is fresh and tasty and portions were substantial. You'll leave satisfied and probably with a doggy bag to enjoy the rest for lunch tomorrow.
Best REAL Israeli restaurant in America. Guaranteed. Hole-in-the-wall, zero curb appeal, very few parking spots, and more than an hour and 15 mins drive from Fair Lawn / Teaneck (+tolls + GSP traffic) - yet, if you appreciate Israeli food, it's definitely worth it!!
