😠 Lamb gyro combo platter was tasty but couldn't finish it. Not 1 NOT 2 but 3 hairs back to back! Looks like someone got a hair cut and came in to work to prep the salad. I moved around the 1st one but 3.. nah unacceptable People often mention good, chicken, platter, service, clean, friendly, sauce, recommend, delicious,

    First timer … have seen many gyro places elsewhere , but nothing much in Edison … Nice location … parking is a bit tight though. Nice service and quick billing .. Got chicken 🐔 platter and gyro … chicken 🐓 platter was good . Yellow rice , salad and 🍗.. was spicy and good . Nice and soft and tasted good. Got felafel and it was good too.. price is moderate . Nice . It’s better to eat in . Rice becomes a bit dry if we take home and eat . Overall a good experience… 4/5

    This place is great. The staff is friendly and wants to make you happy. Their food has so much taste, It's great. It beats those mediocre platter places. Must Visit!

    found a long piece of hair in the chicken platter, at least a foot long. called the store to complain. Guy at store said "I don't know"...I said it was a foot long hair in the food, he said "nobody here has hair longer than an inch". Instead of apologizing, he just kept saying "I don't know". He did offer for me to bring it back and exchange it, but I had it Uber Eats delivered, so that would have defeated the point. Not once did they say sorry, or offer to take my name and give me a store credit or anything. Better check your food if you buy from here.

    I wish I could give this place negative stars! My friend and I got FOOD POISONING from this place! Something wasn’t washed or stale. We had to call off work and school. This is insane. I would expect everything to be super clean NOW WITH THE PANDEMIC and all, I guess they don’t care. DONT EAT HERE, unless you want Diarrhea and want to throw up back to back for 8 hours

    We were driving back to CT from Atlantic City and my wife insisted we find a halal truck/Gyro along the way. After some research, We decided to to go with this place based on the good reviews. We made a quick detour and boy am I glad we did! The food was tasty and on point! Reminded me of Halal Guys food since the hot sauce was exactly the same but Chicken tasted sooo much better than the chicken they serve at halal guys! It tasted so FRESH! The customer service was also great. Wish they open one up in NEW HAVEN or HARTFORD! Until then, will go there whenever we are driving down again!

    Good falafel platter/sandwich and baba ghanosh, although the dessert could be better. Their hot sauce is not as hot as other Mediterranean restaurants and has good flavor. Make sure you pick up one extra.

    I would not recommend this place. I ordered wings and rice. Rice was bad quality (not freah) and tasteless and the hot wings were rotten full of smell. The elderly gentleman serving the food is the only saving grace so I have a 2 star review but the food quality and restaurant do not deserve a single star. This place should be shut down by the Department of Health officials as someone could get food poisoning and get sick from the raw food. I do not understand how people are rating this place 4.1 star; if you are than you all have just no idea on how to rate a food / restaurant rating. Please do yourself a favor and go to a cleaner better places. There are many in the area and neighborhood.

    From the first sip to the last bite, this place is pure deliciousness. Awesome food experience. Very friendly host and person taking order was very nice and he was very helpful. I went with my friend and we ordered wrap and sandwich and fries. the portion is large and at that price point you cannot go wrong with it and also must try mango lassi here. We had a great time, thankyou.

    Food is good.. sandwiches and platters are really good. This is more like halal fast food restaurant with decent sit down… This place is owned by the folks who owned shah Taj in Jersey city previously… Shah Taj in Jersey city was my favorite restaurant. I hope and wish they start selling more of the Pakistani stuff they served previously in their Jersey city location..

    Ordered a chicken and rice w/ white sauce and hot sauce. 9.5/10 almost the best one I’ve ever had (best being in NY) This place was very close though! Not crowded, very clean, lots of tables and cheap prices. Will be coming back with my family for sure.

    I tasted their chicken biryani. It was very good and tastes like home made biryani. I would suggest to serve raita with biryani please.

    Solid little place nestled in Edison, NJ. Very friendly staff, nice & clean establishment & the food was pretty darn good. The chicken chalupa & hard shell chicken tacos were slamming, the nuggets were just perfect and the cheese fries had the right ratio of cheese to fries. The buffalo wings sauce was a bit saltier than expected & condiments were provided only upon request. (Not a deal breaker). We were a group of 4 (1 adult & 3 pre-teen kids), so we ate well. Portions were very decent. All in all, a nice spot & we will certainly recommend & be back to try out the rest of the menu. PS: There is plenty of parking!

    Amazing taste! If you haven't tried this place, I recommend this might be the best place in the area. It's definitely worth going to this place again!

  • 2/5 Masum h. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is nice and clean but definitely not hygienic with foods and processes. We saw 2 big trays of Jilabi placed right in front of bathroom door and food was made in bare hands (without gloves). One of my daughter food (lamb gyro quesadilla) had two pieces of long hairs in it. I brought it to him which he acknowledged and replaced with another order. However, we felt really disgusted to continue eating and left after paying. Good customer service but watch out what you’re eating 🤔

    I just ordered on Uber eats. I'm sitting here eating I lamb quesadilla. It's fresh and tasty. They could definitely provide a dipping sauce, but overall I'll give this a 9 out of 10. And it was delivered quickly . Definitely recommend

    Been taking out here occasionally for about a year. Food is fresh and delicious, although the hummus and Baba Ghanous have more creamy taste than normal.

  • 5/5 Priyanka D. 1 year ago on Google
    We order from them weekly once and sometimes 2 times! We like chicken over rice, paneer platter,paneer chana platter..Their galebi’s are also wonderful!! Everything here is very tasty and i would highly recommend this place !!
