“I love their Chicken Pita wrap and wings.Make sure to ask for “double fried” which makes it extra crispy like the Korean Fried Chicken. My favorite sauce of choice always would be honey bbq. The Gyro platter is my second favorite but I will always go for the Chicken Pita wrap because the meat and sauce consistency is excellent.They also have a banana pudding that you cannot forget to buy as a side. I normally hate chunky bananas in my banana pudding but theirs is absolutely my favorite. (No chunky banana’s)The service is okay (that’s where I give it 4.5) there is one guy there that never smiles or laughs I’m not sure what his issue is but every time I went there in the lunch time he never seemed to be welcoming but I never let that affect me. I just come the hours he’s not there. But either way the other employees and owner are fantastic don’t let one mood ruin your whole day.The food is great. Overall I would pick this place when I need my gyro fix in the Wayne area.“
“I have never tried sweets and especially Turkish sweets like in this store before. It was recommended by so many people and it is even above all my expectationsThey have all kind of deserts and let me tell you it is soooooo delicious and makes you feel happy longer after you tries itOne of the best and elegant places and wonderful customer serviceI strongly recommend trying this place at least once before you die ?“
“My brother and I came here and both got the beef shawarma. It's hard to find good middle eastern food in NJ but their shawarma was the best i've had since leaving Lebanon. The owners were so kind and the whole place really had such a nice ambiance. Definitely give this a place a try.“
“Quaint little spot with parking in the back. Friendly pleasant staff & good food. Went on a Friday afternoon and had the place to ourselves. The amazing seasonings in the rice was our fave, the hummus and pita, and falafel was also great. The mint lemonade hit the spot and the lentil soup was yummy. Only disappointment was with how oily the fries were. We barely touched it. Aside from this, we enjoyed our time here and would return.“
“Zaffron Bloom in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ, is a delightful addition to the culinary scene, offering a fusion of Modern Persian Cuisine with Middle-terranean influence. Helmed by Chef Shahin, whose years of catering experience have culminated in the realization of her dream restaurant, Zaffron Bloom promises a unique dining experience. The restaurant's namesake spice, saffron, is aptly celebrated for its rich history, cultural significance, and exquisite flavor profile.During our lunch visit, we were treated to a delicious meal that surpassed our expectations. The service was impeccable, exceeding the standard. Our decision to dine at Zaffron Bloom was influenced by a friend's glowing recommendation, and we're thrilled to have discovered this gem. Zaffron Bloom truly embodies the essence of "the spice of life" with its innovative approach to traditional Persian cuisine. Deliciousness!! To all Yelpers.... Guys we have to support small local business. It's more important than you can imagine especially during these times. Give them a try, we're sure you'll enjoy it. Be on the lookout... a little insider info, they'll soon be opening a market adjacent to Zaffron. Good luck with all and future ventures. @vinopotato.“
“If you are looking for a delicious Mansaf, Kan Zaman is the place. The service is very friendly and the portion of the meal is more than enough. The atmosphere is also great. Very good seatings and you can always have the Arabic coffee thats available for free after the meal. Keep it up guys ??“
“It was a fantastic experience overall, and I was thoroughly pleased. I made dinner reservations a few days ahead for an outing with friends. We got there around 15 minutes before our reservation time, and the restaurant staff made an extra effort to seat us promptly and accommodate our large group comfortably. The food was delectable, and the service was outstanding. This restaurant truly lives up to its reputation.“
“Amazing Falafel sandwiches, authentic as it gets, and as clean as it gets!Vegetarian options: Vegetarians will love this place, king of falafelKid-friendliness: Staff is super friendly and the inside is very cozy, your family will feel at home“
“My family and I stopped by for dinner this evening and were left feeling very impressed. All the ingredients were very fresh and thr food was very tasty. Mohammed was also very friendly and respectful towards everyone. I would recommend this restaurant to all those who love Middle Eastern food - there are plenty of options for vegans/vegetarians too.“
“The food is very delicious, fresh, and it is a great portion. I like the sides that the sandwich comes with. The shawarma is very flavorful and perfect. I picked the lamb shawarma sandwich and would recommend it. The service was amazing and everyone working there was very friendly and helpful. All of our orders were correct. The ambiance was great too, it a nice and many tables to sit at. The music wasn't too loud. I would highly recommend this spot if you are in the area and looking for a good bite to eat.“
“This place is amazing! Such fresh food and amazing service! I regularly get the chicken schnitzel platter (make sure to get the white sauce, it is incredible) and I also love their falafel pita sandwich - they have an incredible salad bar with all types of toppings - once you’ve gone here, you won’t be able to go anywhere else - real talk“
“I don't eat out often but when I do lezzet is my husband and I go to spot for some delicious turkish food. Its very clean, affordable and every one is very friendly plus they teach me turkish while im there. I very much recommend you go try the best well done food in paterson.“
“Today was my first visit here, and it made me wish I lived closer! George and his staff made us feel like family, and the food was all so fresh and delicious. We started with an order of Zaatar fries [where have you been all my life]. They arrived crispy and seasoned to perfection. They need nothing, but a side of lebneh to dip in would take them over the top; note to self for next time... Next out was a huge and stunning platter, the mixed grill for two. See my pic for the lovely presentation of tasty grilled meats and veggies they served us. There was more than enough for us to share, and it was all thoughtfully prepared. Sure, I may have overdone it with the garlic sauce, but it was worth every minute! Just make sure everyone else has some, too.Not everyone belongs in this business, but George and his people certainly do; I feel like I just got back from having home-cooked lunch at my cousin's.Oh, don't miss the Iced Mint Lemonade! They serve it frozen, and it's a real treat.“
“Been eating At this lovely restaurant for years.. it’s about time to give them the review they deserve.. absolutely amazing and highly recommended to anyone who’s into authentic Mediterranean food.Shout out to Rayan and his brother for incredible services.“
“You have a fair number of Middle Eastern bakery options on Paterson, and the standard is fairly high across the board just to keep up with the competition and stay in business. That being said, the Alhamadanya Sweets is outstanding in every way. With a mind blowing assortment of Middle Eastern sweets and great service. All the sweets we sampled was delicious and superior. Their individual pastries are works of art and they taste great too and are definitely habit forming!“
“I tried EFI’s today from just passing by without looking at any reviews/ knowledge about the place i was PLEASANTLY surprised on the food! I got 2 lamb gyros and spanakopita to go. The lamb meat was GOOD but I got some nasty hard pieces. But, after getting rid of the pieces the gyros were great STUFFED with fries and I Loved it! I would 100% go back but i would personally try the chicken instead. The spanakopita was great and enough to share between two!“
“Le Souk felt like I was enjoying a meal in someone's home in Syria. Soft, Middle Eastern guitar melodies played in the background as I enjoyed my food. The restaurant was decorated with a myriad of artistic knickknacks. My server was polite, and they came to check in throughout my time there.I took advantage of the 4 appetizers for $30 deal as I was not super hungry. I ordered their beet salad, falafel waffle, stuffed grape leaves, and stuffed kebeh. I intended on ordering the dandelion greens, but they were not available, which was disappointing. The food I did receive, though, was a nice window into their menu.The stuffed kebeh was my favorite, a nice crispy shell with a nutty flavor, juicy ground beef inside, with just a little pomegranate syrup to add a bit of tangy sweetness.I'd love to come back and try some of their sandwiches or an entree in the future. Thanks for the food!“
“Really good! I had the chicken shawarma platter and the chicken was perfectly flavored but it was a bit overcooked and dry. It was right before closing so I won't hold it against them. The rice was really flavorful and fluffy. The salad was delicious. would return again!“
“This quick service branch of Al basha has food that was amazing best Middle Eastern food in all of jersey and the customer service was impeccable the server Anwar Lotfe provided me with some of the most amazing customer service I’ve ever experienced ♥️“
“I've had Laffa Shawarma and Laffa chicken.Tastes good, good portion and fairly priced.Very few selections of add-ons to your meal, the place itself is as basic as it gets, but clean.Will occasionally return since there are no other options for Israeli Shawarma in the area.“
“OMG, everything I’ve had here is amazing! The staff is lovely and friendly also. Can’t say enough good things, just go and get some mouth watering food. I go there once every few weeks because, I never want to get tired of it. Great choice for vegans and vegetarians also.Vegetarian options: Best moist falafels, humus, baba ghanoush. cauliflower is amazing, salads“
“The best of the best. Everything on the menu is fantastic, but I’ve never been able to find a comparable chicken koobideh (ground chicken kebab.) It’s juicy, spiced beautifully, and absolutely delicious.My wife and I make an hour and fifteen minute drive whenever we can to partake, and you better believe we place an extra order to go for lunch the next day. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to some delectable Persian cuisine!“
“Stop by Thursday night for the first time after work. I was very surprised and impressed from the moment I arrived. Very upscale and elegant place with alot of attention to detail, with a very warm relaxed feeling and a very inviting cozy mood ambience.The service and food was phenomenal and Jorge, the bartender/manager was great, also enhanced my experience, he's very detailed may me and my friend feel very special.I felt like, i was actually in Dubai. If you're looking to escape the stress from the day and week and have great night. I highly recommend Little Dubai It's a five star winner ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The best kept secret in North Jersey N.Y. metropolitan area.“
“Marakesh was an amazing experience. From the delicious kabobs and rice, to the tender lamb. Dinner was finished with Moroccan tea and desserts. The service was impeccable and the belly dancer show just added to the charisma of the restaurant. I could not recommend this place more. Mashallah what a great place!“
“Delicious- fresh- reasonable! We will be back. Just be aware… if you are gluten free, the rice has semolina and the fries are coated with wheat. Ask a lot of Q’s about GF options!Such a sweet place.Vegetarian options: Choices galore! Fresh!Parking: Easy!!!“
“I wanted to try the iraqi food so bad and I heard about this place and it was definitely worth the visit! their traditional Iraqi cuisine is absolutely mouthwatering!? From the kebabs to the eggplant salad , every bite is a taste of authenticity. The warm and the welcoming atmosphere adds to the overall experience. You should definitely give it a try!“
“FINALY after Covid we took some friends to our favored middle eastern restaurant this past Saturday . As usual we were greeted by our first names as we had not been there for three years! we had the combo maza which was great. The muhammara was just right. Our friends had the lamb shish kebab and the shawarma combo. Both plates were huge with two skewers of meet in each! According to them it was the best they ever had. For a change I had the kibbeh in a tray meal with yogurt which brought back memories of childhood when my mother made it. I can't say enough about the quality of the food. The service is the friendliest you will ever experience“
“Hidden gem...Hole in the wall. The Iraqi Kababs are mind blowing and the Dolma are a must try for vegetarians. The smoked yogurt drink washes it down perfectly but it might be an acquired taste for some. The eggplant salad is extremely flavorful and a great way to start the meal. For those looking to try something different I highly suggest AlMazaq!“
“Shlomo's kindness and generosity is endless! Not only has he offered to participate in a PTO sponsored dine to donate today, but when our school staff ordered lunch to support, he refused payment and insisted the payment be donated to the PTO in full! He gets plenty of love and all is deserved! Thank you Shlomo and Gyro Grill for not only delicious food but for your continued acts of love in the Wayne community!“
