    This restaurant needs no introduction, the quality of the food, the service, the morals of the staff, and the good reception. The family and I went to lunch. We ordered a mix of grills, hummus and tabbouleh. The food was delicious and fresh. Then we ordered mint tea and sweet baklava. Everything is beautiful, even the place is clean and has many tables. I recommend going and enjoying the food. tasty and fresh

    I’m going back to start this review off on a great note. We ordered the mix mashawi for 2, and the lamb and beef were absolutely delicious and juicy. The chicken was a bit burnt but still tasty with the garlic. We also got some appetizers which were very good. Now, what really pushed my buttons were the fact that they didn’t have tap water. Being forced to buy bottled water at a premium price is annoying. I was also charged a 21 dollar service charge at the end. I was so surprised by this charge as I was tipping. But it showed up on my bill as a complete surprise.

    A family oriented restaurant. Great food, service, location, staff and ambience. Everything is delicious, starting with the pitas, hummus and anything you order. The manager always greets you with a friendly smile and goes to everyone’s table to ask if everything is good. Although always crowded, the place is spacious, the seats are comfortable and clean. They have valet parking or street parking on a very busy street. You can call to make reservations or just walk in. You might wait a few minutes, depending on the number of guests. I have come here for many years and the service has always been great! The waiters are friendly and extremely accommodating. The manager is welcoming and always greets you with a friendly smile. The restaurant and bathrooms are clean. Definitely recommend.

    100% Halal & Delicious!! For starters we had the hummus with lamb, bread, pickles and Shepard salad. The hummus with lamb was one of the BEST items to try on the menu with the fresh hot bread. For entrees we had the beef shawarma laffa with fries, chicken kebab and the beef shawarma. For drinks we had the mint lemonade. Every item on the menu was delicious and fresh! The customer service is amazing and the bathrooms are clean. 10/10 would def recommend.

    Went here for dinner of Eid. Did not have a reservation and was told the wait would be 180 minutes (turned out to be 90 minutes). Atmosphere was great. Staff had stopped by multiple times to check up on us. Would highly recommend the mixed platters and hummus.

    The food was phenomenal! Our platter was for four people and the entire experience was splendid. We started off with the bread and hummus and I am convinced everything was made from scratch. Their bread tasted very fresh and was a personal favorite of everything for me. The hummus felt like it was just made and had the chick peas on top that took it over the top. The rice was great and you can see from my pictures how good the meat platter was. We topped it off with the pistachios ice cream and ugh! Makes me feel like going back in time to experience it all over again. I’ll declare that the restaurant definitely lived up to its hype and I look forward to visiting again when I’m back in NJ.

    Nice place with authentic dishes. Portion sizes aren't great. Hummus was delicious. Fried cauliflower was amazing too. Lamb chops was a bit burnt but tasted good. There's no parking and you've to park on the street. And it might take a while to secure a table if it's rush hours.

    Nice & fancy dine-in place, good for family dinners. It was a bit crowded when we went there, had to wait for 45mins but the food was worth it. Tried the all mix platter & fried cauliflowers. Everything was on point. Ambience : 9/10 Food : 8.5/10

    I recently dined at a restaurant that offers exceptional Mediterranean cuisine with outstanding service. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff who made me feel welcome and attended to my needs throughout the evening. The menu was filled with a delectable array of Mediterranean dishes, each prepared with fresh and flavorful ingredients. The flavors were rich and authentic, transporting me to the Mediterranean region with every bite. Whether it was the succulent kebabs, fragrant hummus, or perfectly grilled meats, every dish was a delightful culinary experience. What truly set this restaurant apart was the impeccable service. The waitstaff was attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect. They provided excellent recommendations, accommodated dietary preferences, and were always ready with a friendly smile. In summary, this restaurant is a true gem, offering delectable Mediterranean cuisine and exceptional service. Whether you're a fan of Mediterranean flavors or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, this establishment is well worth a visit.

    I arrived here on a Saturday night quite late and was very surprised to find that even at a late hour, the restaurant was still packed. We were informed that without a reservation, the wait would be around 45 minutes, but it ended being much shorter than that (I'd say around 25 minutes). This restaurant seems to specialize in Palestinian food, and so while many elements are similar to other Middle Eastern/halal places that I've been, there are a few interesting quirks such as lemon and mint flavors in a lot of dishes like the salad and hummus. The food is delicious and the portion sizes are very generous. Prepare to take food home with you. I ordered the mint lemonade and while I enjoyed it, I thought it was a little too sweet. During the course of our meal, either the owner or manager (I don't know what his exact role was) periodically checked in on us, which I appreciated. Overall excellent restaurant and I'd love to come back if I'm in the area again.

    Amazing place the ambiance & modern decor once you walk in is mesmerizing & shows you glimpses of Palestine. Traditional foods are super delicious & catered to almost all tastes, very flavorful & cooked to perfection. Desserts will make your hearts melt! Pistachios ice cream is out of this world! There’s always a wait but it’s so worth it, reserving ahead makes it a bit easier Staff are really kind & friendly
