“From the moment we walked in, the service at Dulce Patria was incredible. We were warmly welcomed right away, and the ambience is absolutely beautiful with plenty of great spots for photos. Our server, Natasha, was amazing and took the time to explain all their promotions, including a great happy hour menu. We tried the Tussi Roll, Dominican Power, and Cuban Tempora sushi rolls. Each one was full of flavor, and I was honestly impressed by how good they were. My friend ordered the Bad Bunny drink and the Beso de Coco. She enjoyed both, but the coconut one was her favorite and she definitely recommends it for coconut lovers. Parking isn’t the greatest in the area, but this place is absolutely worth the effort to find a spot. Overall, I had a great experience here and will definitely be coming back with more friends.”
“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.”
“Was my first time, and I’ll definitely keep coming back. The owner greeted me personally and made me feel genuinely welcome. Service was honestly 11/10 attentive, respectful, and professional from beginning to end. Places that treat their customers this well deserve to be supported. Highly recommend.”

“Harvest House Bakery is family owned and operated, which truly makes such a difference in the quality of goods produced. Time and care is taken to the highest level. They are always willing to go above and beyond with extra touches and go the extra mile! Service aside, everything delicious! Highly recommend!”
“I’ve been coming here for a while now, and every time the food is amazing. I’ve tried their fried chicken, fish, burgers, sandwiches, platters, and gyros, and everything has been fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.
I came all the way from Jersey City just for the food because it’s honestly one of the best spots in Paterson. The fried chicken is always crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the portions are generous.
The customer service is excellent too. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and the food is always served quickly.
If you’re looking for the best fried chicken and halal food in town, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it and will definitely keep coming back! 🍗🔥”
“Tienen rica comida y batidos a cualquier hora pero la picada no está buena. Tiene muchas papas francesas no tiene chicharrón. No tiene rellena. Y esta muy cara por unos pocos pedazos de pollo y carne!! They have good food and drinks at any time. However la picada is over price for some pieces of meat and chicken and lots of French fries. It’s missing pork (chicharrón) and Colombian sushi (rellena).”
“larga espera pero vale la pena el lugar, la comida, las presentaciones y la decoración muy bonito todo, y los meser@s muy atent@s en fin es un 10/10”
Takeout Restaurants
“Saw this place called Mr.Waffles. Looked appetizing so I checked it out. Omg freaking amazing. Have to check out their full menu of waffles & juices. I ordered the Waffles 4 in 1 Pistachio Nutella, white chocolate, kinder bueno, fruit as you can see from the photo looked & tasted amazing!!!!”
“Food was great, very filling and tasty. Love the different sauce options on each table. Only concern was the tables are not that clean. I would come here again but probably take the food to go. Also didn’t like how there was a sign for a combo deal but that is no longer in effect. Burgers and chicken sandwiches must be bought separately.”
“Hacienda Restaurant meet the best standards that we requested to enjoy a good time with a quality services.”
“westside grill was such a good brunch spot! the food was fresh, flavorful, and actually filling, and everything came out looking so good. the atmosphere was really nice and the service was friendly and welcoming. definitely a cute spot to go with friends for brunch, and i’d definitely come back again. 💕🍳🥂”

“I found this gem by mistake, best wrong turn ive taken... the service was great, the burger was delicious, the bun was good on its own.. the fries were perfect. The prices are very reasonable and I appreciate the quality for the price. I cannot brag about this burger enough.
Photo barely made it.”
“Great yummy flavorful food! Just would advise them to have the server serve the food a with some sort of presentation. A tiny effort goes along the way. Literally slapped the meat on my plate.. it doesn’t look pleasant. But it was yummy! Wish she would’ve served the right amount of steak this wasn’t expected”
“Avocado Eatery, Sushi And Gyro House (HALAL) is amazing! The food is fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. They have a great variety of options, from sushi to gyros, and everything I’ve tried has been really good. I also love that the food is Halal. The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and the overall experience is excellent. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat. Highly recommended!”
“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!”

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

“I’ve been living in the U.S. for 15 years and I still can’t believe I never heard about this place before. The baklava was incredible, and the syrupy dessert with clotted cream inside (I forgot the name) was absolutely amazing. Definitely one of the best dessert spots I’ve tried.”
“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”
“I was ecstatic to hear that Brother's was finally reopen! I was devastated when he closed his previous location in Paterson. I used to frequent his restaurant at least 5 days a week. Clifton, you will quickly discover what an absolute gem you've inherited!! A great man delivering great food and great customer service. Enjoy!”
“An absolute must-visit food truck in Paterson! The quality here is amazing, and everything is made fresh. They do it all—from perfectly crispy fried foods and flavorful pinchos to incredible sandwiches. If you’re looking for a great spot to eat, I highly recommend checking them out!”
“This dining establishment has been around for a while, and if you can get past the fact that they could use some renovations, it's a good place to get quick, delicious food without going over budget. The breakfast is good for the money you'll spend, the service is always on point, and there are no complaints.”
“If you want to live the experience of a “corrientazo” restaurant in NJ, this is the place! Typical Colombian flavor. The roasts and soups are SPECTACULAR! Warm attention from Sandra and Marcela. Excellent prices
OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT: the space is very small and fills up quickly”
“Food is perfect also, I love the hot pita bread. Price is really good 😊”
“Ordered a "Casado with Churrasco"The steak was cooked to perfection. Had this with a Russian salad. Nice portion and perfectly seasoned. Thought maybe it was a fluke so went back a second time. Everything was the same...perfect...again. It is an unassuming hole in the wall but wow. Can't wait to try more of the menu though I will be getting that again.”
“I was looking for a specific type of soup, called a lot of the Spanish restaurants no one made it. Found this restaurant and from the first phone call they are truly amazing. They were very attentive to what I wanted. Quick and efficient. Another time I went to the place to place my order, even better the young lady was super sweet and the man there was so attentive to my order. Will definitely keep on ordering. Even the empanadas were made fresh. Small restaurant but excellent customer service! I ordered asopao de camarones!”
“(Translated by Google) The first time I went I loved the place! Security very attentive(Original)1era vez que fui me encantó el lugar!! La seguridad muy atentos”
“Food was honestly great! We got eggs with tomatoes and eggs with sausage . But the cheese breakfast plate was very disappointing we had to return it. It mentioned 3 meats that did not come on the plate when they brought it out. But the waitress was very friendly and took it back for us and got us something else. I think they just need to update the pictures in their menu. Other than that loved the vibes and service thank you ❤”
“E&V has the BEST Italian food ever., why go anywhere else. E&V has been around for over 50years. Thank you for great food always. Eric”
“I hosted a memorial dinner here , it was a very exclusive event . Very private and I was accompanied well by the staff and owner/ management. I was very satisfied with the price . I was able to rent out the venue for a few hours . It was great ! Thanks again to Jasmine who was very professional and kind . Will recommend this amazing place to others looking for a space to host a gathering etc. I will also be using there services again in the near future :)”
“We liked the food and atmosphere. If you like salads, get Fattouch. And yeah, service was welcoming !”
“Happiness in a Bar Lounge the Carlito's 2.0 brand is over the top family atmosphere with a Carribean Vibe. Love the not so watered down drinks and SAFE SPACE FOR BEAUTIFUL WOMEN TO GATHER WITH BEAUTIFUL MEN.”
“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 ?”
“I loved my first time there Not only is it good but priced nicely Service was great and done with a smile High recommendations”
“There were so many options to choose from I didn’t know where to begin . I got their goat and it was so tender ! The gamey taste was very faint . The vegetables weren’t too soft . I can’t wait to go back and try something else!”
“I absolutely love the pastries here, the cheesecakes , fruit tarts and tres leches are top tier, the women working the counters are also very nice and hospitable , i will be back for those fruit tarts weekly”
“we picked up a breakfast box yesterday to get us through our morning shift at the Health Centre in the Garrison. what a bargain it was. perfectly cooked. generous portions absolutely delicious. well done guys”
“Was visiting my mom but left her casa hungry. I stopped by looking for authentic mex food and found it. I'm not sure which part of Mexico the family that runs this place is from so I something I'm more familiar so I ordered the chicken quesadilla. It was really good with the chili sauce. Only thing missing was horchata. I washed it down with grapefruit jarrito. I paid in cash not sure if cc accepted. Next time I will see if they have a house special like dish more known in there hometown”

I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this restaurant. when I feel like having a special lunchon, this place comes first to my head. good and many types of food and a large menu.well mannered team, and pleasant vibes. Not less important, the price is decent. I recommend this place with pleasure.”

“I had the most incredible dining experience here! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and genuinely cheerful, which made the whole vibe of the restaurant so warm and inviting.
As for the food wow! I ordered the Bistec a lo Pobre, and it was executed perfectly. The steak was juicy and flavorful, the sweet plantains and fries were cooked to perfection, and topping it all off with that perfectly fried egg made every single bite amazing. It is pure comfort food done right.
Between the phenomenal service and the delicious, authentic food, this place easily earns 5 stars. I cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu! Highly recommend!”
“Had a wonderful breakfast at Baklava Home! Fresh simit and bread, a great variety of cheeses and olives, delicious sucuk, and unlimited Turkish tea. Everything was fresh and authentic. A great spot for a proper Turkish breakfast—definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“Great bagels and great sevice! Only issue I had were the rude clientele..the customers are genuinely rude .My company ordered lunch for us the other day from here and I had the penne vodka. It was so delicious and for the price I thought it would be much smaller! I would definitely get lunch from here again or even try breakfast!”
“5 stars all day! I drove 2 hours just to try their famous family recipe sauce, and it did *not* disappoint. The warm, family atmosphere and authentic recipes make Jay's Fish Gate a must-try!”
“Great Peruvian 🇵🇪 experience. Awesome people. Delicious food 😊 🥘 I look forward to my next visit. Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 😊 👍 🇵🇪”
“Came all the way from Staten Island for this place.
Great service and quality food. I had the Chimi and Jaroa and it was amazing. More of an authentic taste from this food truck than you will find in some Paterson restaurants.”
“Saw steak on the menu. When I asked for that order, they told me they did not have that steak but instead they had skirt steak. I went for it and did not regret. It was hands down one of the best skirt sticks I have ever had. I don't know if this is always or if I was lucky. It was that good. It was thicker than I usually get out of the places as well as more perfectly cooked and at the perfect temperature. Also the picture is incorrect. The current picture is of their old location. They have moved up the block to bigger location. This location also has parking and an outdoor area. I will be going back to have another of the same or possibly to sample the menu a bit.”
“(Translated by Google) The lunch is very good, the place is very clean and the staff is extraordinary and Cira is based on a mask and disinfection on the mandatory hands, even if they are vaccinated to avoid new contagion.(Original)Muy bueno el almuerzo el lugar es muy limpio y el personal estraordinario y se base Cira mascarilla y desinfección en las mano obligatoria aun estén vacunado para evitar nuevo contagio”
“This Sunday morning we enjoyed ourselves with a great Peruvian breakfast in Griselda's. We tried her new "chicharrón al cilindro" and café con leche, of course. It was just delicious! Ya no, ya.”
“It’s an awesome place to eat to enjoy great delicious food and stuff is awesome and a lot of food check it out”
“Always my go to catering with delicious food .
Best peruvian food around hands down.
The chaufa de marisco is one of my Favorites .
Soraya is always attentive and does her best to accommodate everyone .”
“This place is pretty good , the food is delicious . It doesn't get packed busy , you will find a table . The service was good. The special of 30 tacos for 30 is good for a group of ppl , as long you love to eat a lot . I like this place .”
“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.”
“Bravissimo 👏 The Best Food Truck in the area and abroad the Tri State. The flavor profile is super succulent with many Carribean fusions. I highly recommend the Chicken Yaroa, Pinchos also don't forget the organic Chinola for a refreshing experience with your cuisine. 👻💯🍽📌
Thank you Marv!”
“Food portions have gotten smaller, while prices have increased significantly. The menu doesn't even list prices, which is very sketchy. For example, Whole chicken with fries is now $33 (used to be less $ with larger portions, chicken looked smaller).
Plain arroz chaufa is $6, but the portion size seems to have shrunk significantly compared to previous visits. The location was kind of empty for a Saturday lunch compared to previous visits. Perhaps the price increases and smaller portions are deterring customers.”
“Los vicite despues de tiempo , mi Barrunto regreso con fuerza .muy rico la comida 😋”

“One of the best chicken spots locally.
9/10 fried chicken
8.5/10 chicken nuggets
7/10 fries
5/10 potato wedges.
The fried chicken and nuggets I will forever come back for. Absolutely delicious and juicy!!!
I ordered catering 1/2 tray fries and wedges. 50 piece fried chicken and 50 piece nuggets (they gave me 60, very generous of them 👏🏾)
Definitely will be coming back for fried chicken
Only gave 4/5 because of the sides.”
“The food was delicious!! Great service, the space is beautiful and makes you feel like your home. The owner is wonderful she greets you with a beautiful smile. Food was 10/10 Service 10/10 Vibe 10/10 I will definitely be returning and getting my family gift cards for Christmas 😂😂”
“Finally found a fish spot in Jersey that doesn't use frozen fish from a bag that you can get in ShopRite.
Very humble team that provides great customer service.
The seafood is fried to perfection - but it could use some salt. If they start making their own tartar sauce and hot sauce, this place is gonna be packed!
Still worth a visit, although I would just stick to the seafood until they start tightening up the sides with more experience cooking soul food staples.
Definitely worth a visit.”
“Newly opened halal steak and cheesesteak spot . Food was good . Slightly overpriced . Take little long to serve the food . Have some interior seating area and outdoor as well . Have a restroom inside . Street parking available. Parking is little hard to find in the rush hour . Overall recommended.”
“My son had one bite and said … “oh my gosh Dad!!! This is amazing! I wish we had this in PA”! Our family thoroughly enjoyed your meals! Oxtail. Mac&cheese. Stew beef. Curry goat. Jerk pork. Chocolate cake! And a coke to top it all off! We were afraid of the jerk sauce. There’s one amazing! Homemade!”
“I went to Freddie’s with friends on the day before Thanksgiving and it was such a fun time. They had a charcuterie night which was delicious and paired with champagne. The bartenders were very knowledgeable which helped when choosing different drinks. Overall great vibes and highly suggest going.”
