Restaurants with Delivery
“Great tasty BBQ. Our favorite is the kefta kebab. Only reason 1 star is deducted because I purchased three orders of the (six) skewers for a total of 18 skewers but was given less when I decided to count today. Not a big deal but if I am asked to combine my three orders to one platter, we will check and let you know if we were shorted :)
Also maybe seasoning the French fries will
Improve the flavor a little. Thank you!”

“Kan Zamaan is a culinary treasure, renowned for its exceptional Mansaf and Mendi. The Mansaf, rich with tender lamb and perfectly spiced yogurt sauce, is a true celebration of tradition, while the flavorful, aromatic Mendi showcases the art of slow-cooked perfection. The restaurant’s enchanting ambiance and attentive service enhance the experience, making it ideal for any occasion. For an authentic taste of Middle Eastern cuisine, Kan Zamaan is a must-visit destination!”
“Food was ok. Seafood boil was not that great. Corn was mushy, shrimp was , potatoes were a little hard, eggs were missing most of the white because I guess they couldn't peel it and one egg was not hard boiled . Whiting fish sandwich was not that good. My daughter liked the lobster roll though. Very hot in the restaurant, with flies.”
“Pro: The staff is very friendly and attentive, the presentation of the food exceeded my expectations, good music and atmosphere and good quality alcohol. It was a reservation for a birthday, they put out balloons and cake.
Con: the place is not very big, it took a long time to bring the drinks, it was difficult to find parking and the brunch offer on Saturdays only includes drinks.”
“Always nice on phone and in person.Delivery is excellent. I tell them no hurry as I am not in a rush, and don't want to stress them since they work so hard, but food is always on time. Portions are generous and delicious. They cater to my vegetarian meal requests by replacing meats with bean curd,etc.”
“Quality clean halal food Chinese restaurant. We have tried the general Tao chicken, fried chicken, chicken and broccoli, all the egg rolls, all the different sushis on the menu and all those choices were solid. Good food. Everybody in my family likes it even the picky eaters. Order on uber eats all the time never an issue. 5/5 keep up the good work

“Inflation has it way. Food portion is smaller than before. Spent $9 for a meal and coffee. Parking is limited. I ended up parking in the street. Need to order and pay through the touch screen. A bit confusing when being asked about table number. The clerk came and types 14 as the number. Service is good. Seats are limited. No complaints.”
“Like all Guayacans, we like to eat delicious food and plenty of it. This time I ordered delivery and I ordered to try the flag and it was a delight. I loved it. I recommend it. It comes quite a bit and it was all warm. It came out for 2 people and quite a bit as you can see in the image. Unfortunately it cost me about $30 with shipping but it's worth it ?congratulations ?”

“My go-to ? I love coming here for breakfast/lunch. Absolutely great service, quick, feels very cozy, and the food has always been exceptional. They are very generous with their portions and I appreciate that very much!! I’ve had my mom and boyfriend join me for breakfast a few times and they love it too!”
“My first visit to Wingstop was a bit of a disappointment, as I tried their bone-in wings and found them to be underwhelming. However, a friend encouraged me to give it another go, this time with the boneless wings, and I'm so glad I did! The boneless wings were absolutely fantastic—tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked, with the Hot Honey flavor standing out as especially delicious (Garlic-Parm was a show stopper too, but skip the KBBQ). Great value for the quality and portion size, too.
While the parking lot can be a bit tricky to navigate, the kitchen area was impressively clean, almost laboratory-level, which was reassuring. The staff was also incredibly kind and attentive, making the overall experience much more enjoyable. Definitely worth a second visit.”
“Stopped by quick, finished work was hungry. Not from Paterson but gotta say food was GOOD!, Cheesesteak wrap and plain pie perfect crust just would order slightly more well done, girl forgot to put the pizza order in to go, no worries she was cute, they was busy. Prices very reasonable and place Is clean and will definitely go back when I'm in area after work.”

Shrimp tacos ????? chicken tacos????? hot bar????? I wish I could post pictures of my food but I always share on Instagram”
“We recently ordered through Uber Eats and were so impressed, we can’t wait to visit in person!
My husband was craving mofongo and fried fish. We tried the mofongo de chicharrón, which was absolutely amazing, and the mofongo de camarones, which we felt was a bit less flavorful.
My husband mentioned that the shrimp wasn’t mashed into the mofongo, which was a bit different from what he’s used to.
Personally, I love my mofongo with mashed pork and the protein on top, and I thought the mofongo tasted fantastic. The fried fish was also a highlight—well-cleaned, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. We were pleasantly surprised by how good everything was, especially since it had traveled 30 minutes to get to us. Can’t wait to try it fresh in the restaurant! Highly recommend!”
“This restaurant was full on fantastic!!! The food was delicious! The khichuri, chicken pulao, butter chicken, biryani, beef bhuna, Haleem, paratha, chicken lollipop, and chicken 65 were all so delicious! The best part of the restaurant was the malai chop— soft and delicious, simply amazing! Also a shoutout to their tea and fresh green mango juice! If you are in New Jersey looking for a halal place to eat with your family this is the place!! The food was just soooooooo good and the customer service was great!! Brother Mustafa was so kind and attentive! You totally need to come eat here!

“I visited this cozy bakery to see what everyone was raving about in the comments. After going in, the owner popped up and without saying a single word, he offered us his delicious pistachio cookie! It was warm, crispy on the outside and buttery on the inside.. Which literally melted in my mouth. I had a flight afterwards and couldn’t buy anything extra. But this place deserves so much more !! Thank you!!!”
“We forgot to leave a review from our first initial visit. We got the oxtail with rice and peas, cabbage and plantains and Mac and cheese. It’s a very clean establishment and the food is delicious. The owner is extremely nice and makes you want to come back for more.”
“Brittany and Anthony here , serious foodies. This is hands down the best chicken and waffles you are going to have. Lifetime customer, we dropped all of our other chicken and waffle spots. Including one Obama traveled to due to word of mouth. The tenders are homemade, perfectly battered and seasoned and the waffles are the perfect texture. You cannot go wrong with any of the sauces! Lemon pepper wet and hot honey are our favorites. Talk about an explosion of flavors in your mouth. Everett has amazing customer service and is super accommodating ! Check it out you won’t regret it! Oh and if you can get it before they sell out, don’t forget the homemade strawberry uptown.”
“i recommand to eat at this place because they have a lot of diffrerent type of foods like dominican food and halal food, and I tried out the rice platter chicken one and it was very yummy and tasteful and declious, and the women chief is amazing at her job and hard working person, and I also recommand the buffalo chicken wrap because it very tasteful and brings fries and has avacado and good wonderful chicken in it and also the sushi are so amazing the lady makes it so good and does her job very well and they have respect and manners and will greet you and have patient, Overall I rate this place 10/10 wonderful place I go here all the time.”

The staff and Owner are really friendly will definitely come again muchisimas gracias.”
“This place blew me away. The food was great and the portions are great too you’re paying for quality. On top of the great food you’re being greeted by amazing staff. My friend told me about this spot and before telling me anything about the food he told me about the people who work there. When I walked in I was treated as a friend not a customer I felt very welcomed. I could tell this staff member puts people first and respects everyone. I’m definitely going to keep sharing this spot to my friends and people I know”
“We ate Lahmacun, it was delicious, I wish I had ordered the second one... I ordered plain ayran and it was very delicious, price-performance ratio, all in all. The waiters were very polite and attentive, thank you.”

“We liked the food and atmosphere. If you like salads, get Fattouch. And yeah, service was welcoming !”
“Actually, the food of this restaurant used to be much better. It's like it changed hands or the chef changed. They really put plenty of scoops on the plates. Free salad comes with the kebabs and open water is served to the table for free.”
“The food is phenomenal and service is always fast and friendly! There’s nothing comparable to this place anywhere in South Arkansas!”
“Tucked away behind the Main Street we stumbled upon this excellent restaurant. We ordered Spring rolls and a Japanese thingy for starter, both were really good. For mains it was Beef and Ginger and Prawn Fried Rice, again both excellent. So for 2 starters, 2 mains and 4 drinks it came to 58 euros, even excellenter ?…music choice was a bit different in that it was dance oriented but wasn’t out of place. We have booked again and would obviously recommend ?”

“We were so fortunate to have Culcha Caribbean bring their food truck to our Fall company bbq. Employees thanked me for getting them. They sold out before the lobster truck if that tells you anything!”
“The drinks aren’t expensive and it isn’t watered down. Bartender and owners are cool and are always looking around to make sure everything is good. Hookah is also available upon request. Not many hookahs are available, so it first come first serve. The place is a bit cozy, i wish it was bigger inside. From the outside, it doesn’t look like much, but the vibes and staff are cool. They play a lot of reggae and hip hop but depending on the crowd, the DJ willMix it up.”
“Great spot to hang out, wide variety of alcohol to choose from, very friendly staff, bottle service, pool table is always fun and the disco room gets lit every weekend after hours.. awesome place.. also Hillary who was serving us did an amazing job making our experience there twice as awesome!”

miss. Yahayra was kind to us!
We will definitely return.”
“To all people complaining about wait times how about you actually look and see that this is an Italian restaurant and guess what, standard dinner times in Italy and most of Europe are about 2 hours, this is not Applebees..”
“The food was great. The ladies are a little serious but once you get to know them they are nice. The bad thing about going to this place is the parking! Took us a good 10 minutes driving around looking for parking on a weekend.”
“la verdad que el lugar es hermoso muy buen ambiente la comida es perfecta lástima una camarera en particular que nos atendió y nos quedamos muy desconforme ya que la mesa la limpio sin ganas y quedó toda pegajosa tuvimos que comer así cuando le pedíamos algo nos contestaba de mala manera de mala gana y nos traía todo al revés de lo que le pedíamos no sé el nombre de esta chica porque tenía un nombre raro tenía pelo largo medio rojizo y era muy flaquita y chiquitita pero desagradable como camarera”
“Moro em newarkPor favor, Mira las fotos tal vez es una mejora?? Por favor, Olhe as fotos, talvez, é uma melhoria?? Hello, I am poor. But have leverage. I have a car. Am going to purchase a better one. Is anyone interested in this place? I am looking for a women that is working too hard. Your income may be good but but are spending too much time paying bills.

“When you meet Maribel arcos. She will go out every weekend. Block you she did it to me after putting me in jail Because she called,911,on me. Abused me, cussed at me. And repeated the same accusations. From 78lupton Lane. Calling 911. Why would she move with me in August 22, 2022 to 180 cedar Street and repeat the same thing”
“The food was decent. Didn’t really get what I wanted because they had limited amount of certain meats. Also the young kid on the truck doesn’t know what salt or pepper is. Lmao. I asked him a few times in English and Spanish and he still didn’t know. I also attached the recipe for the review, for you guys can see the pricing for what I got.”
“good place, good food, unfortunately they were fixing the decor and the sign outside, so really only reason I gave a 3 stars in atmosphere - nonetheless, great staff but thought the prices were a bit high, especially for a lunch order - regardless, must check it out, won't disappoint”
“I got there as a recommendation from my sister who said that the food was delicious. We ordered 2 lomo saltados, 1 ruleta de mariscos, 1 papas a la huaicaina. The food was good, not the best lomo salteado but really 9/10, it was really good. My brother in law ordered la ruleta rusa and said it was also good. Why I give it 4/5 stars is mostly because of the service. The waitress had a bit of an attitude. We ordered 2 lomos and one was to share and when we got the order, she brought 3, we said that we ordered 2 and she said “I’m going to take it but you said 3”, we also ordered a pitch of Maracuya juice, she brought Jamaican, and we said it wasn’t right and she said “we don’t have any juices”, again, with an attitude. It might’ve been my impression but my whole party also said that. But she was the only one. There were other two servers who seemed really kind! The music was also a bit loud for my liking, couldn’t hear well our conversation.”
“Los vicite despues de tiempo , mi Barrunto regreso con fuerza .muy rico la comida 😋”

“This is the best shawarma in the tris state area. I drive to this place from East Harlem in Manhattan almost twice a month. I like their chicken shawarma so much. Also their French fries are delicious.
The restaurant has a great seating area downstairs and it is family friendly.
Their home-made white ice cream with pistachio is so tasty. Also, the other desserts they serve are so mummy. Great place to eat with the family.

“My first visit to Wingstop was a bit of a disappointment, as I tried their bone-in wings and found them to be underwhelming. However, a friend encouraged me to give it another go, this time with the boneless wings, and I'm so glad I did! The boneless wings were absolutely fantastic—tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked, with the Hot Honey flavor standing out as especially delicious (Garlic-Parm was a show stopper too, but skip the KBBQ). Great value for the quality and portion size, too.
While the parking lot can be a bit tricky to navigate, the kitchen area was impressively clean, almost laboratory-level, which was reassuring. The staff was also incredibly kind and attentive, making the overall experience much more enjoyable. Definitely worth a second visit.”
“Great place, great environment and good vibes.😀”
