“The food was easily the best Arab food I’ve had. Ever. The owners were super nice and actually invited us to sit instead of take out, and we got complimentary toum (also best toum I’ve ever had), peppers, pickles, and some sort of Arab bread. The bread was nice and crackly and there was a LOT of it. The toum, unlike other Arab places with toum, was actually light and had that whipped texture that is desired. The garlic flavor was on point and not too overpowering. The star of the show was easily the crispy chicken shawarma, though. It looks small in some videos, but it was wider than my mouth. I had to do some talking to find out myself, but to get the fries, toum, and pickles next to the shawarma, you need to ask for the crispy chicken shawarma combo. It was super crispy, and the breading was very nicely toasted. I kept finding myself layering the top with some pickles, fries, and more toum. They also drizzled some pomegranate molasses on the chicken shawarma, which gave it a tangy but also fruity aftertaste. We also ordered the charcoal chicken and kebab. The kebab, instead of normal beef on a stick, actually came with some yellow rice and some REALLY GOOD spicy seasoned bread that was very soft and moist on some parts and crispy on the others. You could literally see the spice particles on it. The charcoal chicken was juicy, tender, and had that charcoal roasted flavoring. It even came with a bunch of complimentary fries. The fries on both the shawarma and the charcoal chicken was nicely battered, and the shawarma fries were very well seasoned. The only thing is that the bathroom is through a door that leads upstairs, and you have to open two doors. If you’re someone like me and don’t like the feeling of putting grip on things with sticky stuff on your hands, you won’t like that. It’s one of those turn knobs. Finally, the music made me feel like I was actually back in Abu Dhabi watching fire shows while eating falafel. Please visit, they are amazing people who make amazing food!”
“Bence bolgenin en iyisi, yemekler çok lezzetli, hiç bir şey baştan salma değil. Çakışanlar Cok saygılı. Amerika’da gittiğim en iyi restaurant diyebilirim ve iyi bir Türk yemeği yemek isteyenlere tavsiye ederim. Adana kebap, lahmacun ve kuş başı pidesi ni denedim ve bayildim. İnşallah diğerleri gibi bozmadan devam ederler.”

“We had a wonderful experience at Hayati Lounge, and a big part of that was thanks to Sami. From the moment we arrived, he was welcoming, friendly, and incredibly attentive. He made sure everything was perfect, checked on us throughout our meal, and provided excellent recommendations. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and Sami's outstanding customer service made our visit even more enjoyable. It's rare to find someone who genuinely cares about making guests feel valued, and Sami definitely does. We will definitely be coming back!”
“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.”
“It’s amazing they have delicious dishes , clean space and nice stuff . My son love their kofta???”
“This spot is hands down the best place in the area to enjoy some hookah with your buddies and watch any sports game. The vibe here is so relaxed, the service is absolutely fantastic, and the staff are just incredible! (Shoutout to my guy Karam)”

“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).”
“excelente comida , soy dominicano pero que rica chuleta 10 estrellas no 5”

“Best Jamaican food in this area the curry goat was full of flavor and the split peas chicken soup reminded me so much of my Jamaican grandma's soup. Real authentic Jamaican food recommended a 100%. Try it if want to know what real authentic Jamaican food taste like. The owner was so kind and welcoming 🙏”
“I have been coming here for years and without fail the quality has never changed. I have brought these pies to parties, work gatherings, and family gatherings and everyone loves them. The spinach pies are tangy and delicious. My kids love the chicken pies. They also sell olive oil, soft drinks, different types of bread and cookies. Once you start going to Ameer’s you can’t stop. Everything is so fresh and authentic.”
“Amazing experience from start to finish. The owner is incredibly generous, welcoming, and goes out of their way to make sure every customer has a great experience. They were happy to answer questions, offer recommendations, and made us feel right at home. The gyros were fresh, flavorful, and packed with quality ingredients, and everything tasted delicious. The portions were generous, the service was fast, and the atmosphere was friendly. If you're looking for a great gyro spot with amazing food and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely be coming back!”

“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.”
“The food was absolutely amazing and the service was top notch! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. Their chicken and waffles are unmatched, the perfect combination of crispy, JUICY chicken and delicious waffles.
What really stood out is the companies professionalism with catering. Everything was organized, on time, and handled with excellence from start to finish. You can truly tell they care about both the food and the customer experience. Highly recommend for events, catering, or just a great meal!”
“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”
“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!”
“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.”
“Acabo de ordenar un “Dúo Marina” para recoger… y está DELICIOSO. El ceviche en su punto de sal, de limón, de todo! El arroz con marisco en su punto exacto de cosor y riquísimo. La señorita que atendió mi llamada fue bastante amable, definitivamente recomiendo al 100% este lugar.”

“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 liked the food and atmosphere. If you like salads, get Fattouch. And yeah, service was welcoming !”
“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!”
“This Turkish Bakery/Cafe in Paterson is truly delightful. Their coffee and tea are consistently excellent, and the kunafa and ice cream baklava are absolutely delicious.”
“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 ❤”

“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!”
“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”

“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.”

Thank you Marv!”
“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.”
“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 .”

“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.”

“They are very friendly. They have a very welcoming atmosphere. This place has a lot of Dominican products that Dominican people know and love. Their empanadas are really great; I recommend pollo(chicken) empanadas, mixta(mix) empanadas and pollo y queso(chicken and cheese) empanadas. They also have real and all natural juice like Dominican cherry juice ( jugo de cereza dominicano) I was surprised at how good the cereza juice truly was. I definitely recommend this place.”
“I was working in the area and I stopped by here for lunch. It’s on a busy street so parking is tough. Easy to order and great prices. I got a chicken pita sandwich it was great. I definitely recommend this place and will be back soon. Everyone was eating fried chicken it look good so that’s what I will get next time.”
