    A great halal Burger place. Double Patty Burger is juicy and the meat is very delicious. The chicken sandwiches are amazing. Dripping in sauce and the chicken is well prepared and crispy. The service was very friendly. A tip for everyone coming for pickup, there is free 30 minute parking in the garage behind the building. Street parking is very very limited, and cops are constantly patrolling the area ready to give tickets. The food is amazing. The service is amazing. Highly recommend.

    Visited 4-5 times and totally loved their simple menu and chicken taste, until we got hair yesterday in chicken tender, it must have been in the batter itself. Seriously!? Now gotta doubt what hygiene you maintain in kitchen. Never going back! Added order number and images. I picked my order at 6:57pm, as it’s Christmas Day you close at 7, which is why I haven’t called or returned to show you this.

    When you imagine if a perfect hot chicken sandwich exists, what do you think of? Is it that first warm bite of toasted bun, enhanced by flavors of refreshing coleslaw, zesty pickles, and creamy sauce smothered on a perfectly crispy on the outside, sensationally seasoned juicy piece of chicken? Well, I’m here to tell you that the perfect hot chicken sandwich exists and it can only be found at Smashville. I think of myself as a self proclaimed foodie who has traveled to Nashville itself to find that hot chicken sandwich by trying the most famous locations known in the United States and trying to decide which was best. I have to say, Smashville blows them out of the water, right here in NJ. The absolute euphoria I felt when I took my first bite of this delectable creation was palpable. As far as spice levels go, the “hot” was hot and the “med” was med, exactly as you’d expect, but in my opinion worth getting one of each. However, if you find yourself inside this gem of a foodie’s paradise, don’t stop at the hot chicken. The true hidden jewel of this place is its smashburger. A pure example of a gooey, cheesy, flavorful combination of sauce and onions delicately coating a grilled to precision beef patty that exemplifies the magic of simplicity in a burger. The combination of ingredients and seasoning used to create this masterpiece will make your taste buds dance with joy. Honestly, I don’t know how they do it but even as you make your way through the burger or sandwich, nothing falls apart or even gets soggy. The entire experience was so fulfilling. Once you add a side of the smashburger or chicken waffle fries that are drizzled in sauce and fried at the perfect temperature and texture, forget it. The ultimate paradise has been reached and you will have attained Nirvana. Did I even mention, it’s all Halal? This is a dream come true. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. For the past hour, I’ve just been thinking about when I can go back and continue the feeling of bliss. Definitely check this place out if you’re looking for the best hot chicken and burgers NJ has to offer!

    This place is truly an amazing experience. The hospitality is truly one of one as they make you feel at home. I went here for my birthday and although the restaurant is fairly new they made it a day to remember with their kindness. The owner Omar and all of the employees are amazing. Everyone should go here the food is amazing, from the chicken sandwiches to the burgers, the food is so good. I will definitely be a returning customer.

    divine spot. walking into this place and smelling the butter alone makes me feel like i'm in heaven. not even muslim but inshallah may the brothers who started this joint be endlessly rich. i think about this place at least 12 times a day. the medium chicken sandwich and fries w/ comeback sauce is the best $14 i've ever spent in my life. taking a bite of the sandwich is the best decision i've ever made. i would live here if i could.

    All the food is excellent along with the service. It’s worth visiting just for the aesthetics alone! Both the burger & the hot chicken sandwich were excellent.

    Came here yesterday and it was so good I decided to come again today. Very good quality meat and buns. Had the double patty which was comparable to shake shack. Had the chicken sammy which was the best of them all. The hot was very spicy and I consider myself pretty good with spicy. Very nice staff, helped me bring my food to seating area. Would definitely recommend for others!

    Although i’ve never been to New Brunswick, I’m big on both smash burgers and hot chicken, so naturally I had to give this place a try. Started off with the Burger and I was very impressed, but then I had the Hot Chicken Sandwich and was just blown away. I’m usually a heat junkie, but I got hot and it was perfect. I’ve had many Hot Chickens from around the country and this one is definitely one of the best. I also had the Smashfries and it was like a deconstructed Burger working in perfect harmony with the crispy Fries. I already can’t wait to go back!

    The burger was very flavorful and not too greasy I love the potato roll the photos that I took to not do it justice.. friendly staff I placed my order for pick up and it was prepared and ready to go in less than 30 minutes… they have a nice dining area upstairs from where you place your order pretty cool.. I ordered one double patty and two single patties and the smash fries

    Food was good and the staff seems really good. I had the Hot Fries and it was good. I went during the soft open but the hot wasn’t as hot as they were hyping it up to be. I’ll definitely be back for it though. They have a beef version with fries as well but you don’t get to pick your spice level with that one. There is seating upstairs if you want to dine in. Meter parking may be a challenge depending on when you go but there are multiple parking decks nearby.

    7th Street got some competition! What’s great about this place is that it’s halal. The burger is juicy and delicious and the smash fries were equally as great. Follow my burger page @bajiburgers. Always looking for the best burgers. Send recommendations my way.

    It a halal place. I read alot of reviews about this place so had to try it. Many ppl said that their hot chicken sandwich os really good so I also gave it a shot. They have 4 or 5 different spicy / hot options (mild, medium, hot and xtra hot) I chose the hot. The sandwich was really good. The chicken was nicely done and it had a crunch. The spice were hot as i had ordered. Their sauce also added a nice overall flavor to it. The sandwich was actually quite big which is a plus. This is definately one of my favorites hot chicken sandwich.

    The food was decent. I didn’t have anything that makes me have to go back. I had chicken Sammy and Smash fries.I asked for medium heat level it was spicy enough to make my nose start running a little. If you don’t like spicy things I would get the sandwich with no spices. The fries were enough for two ppl. Not sure if I like the special sauce. Nice environment and location. Park a block away and walk

    Chicken sammy is where it's at: flavorful, nice crunchy outside, tender inside. Spice levels increase considerably fyi. Ordered a double patty smash burger as well, and it looked like a single. Service is great.

    Pictured: The Double $9 (double beef patty), The Sammy $9.50 (hot chicken sandwich) & Hot Fries $10 (hot chicken with curly fries and coleslaw) The 🔥 new halal burger spot in town @smashvillenj did not disappoint. The Smashburger was a 10/10 - legit finished it in about a minute. It’s available in both a single or double patty burger. The Sammy was also delicious and you can customize your spice level ranging from mild, medium, hot, and pain! The chicken itself was crispy, juicy, and flavorful.

    One of our fav places for fried chicken. Location is super convenient! Service is always courteous! Food was delicious! Our first time trying the smash burger today and we loved it. The owner went out of his way to ensure we have a great experience. We did, thank you! :)

    I don't eat beef so I thought I was going to get the hot chicken sandwich, but when I saw a double smashed impossible burger there I had to try it. It was excellent. A whole other taste then I had with other plant based burgers. My family got the hot chicken sandwiches which also looked great. They were really thick with just the right amount of breading. My son got medium spice, but he said it was on the level of high spice for this type of establishment. Seating is limited, but turnover is quick and there is somebody always cleaning the tables.

    If you love burgers, hot chicken or beef, this is the place to go! Loved their smash burgers, though the patty is a bit thin but full of flavor! Loaded fried my kids favorite item. Just mind it, their HOT level is really spicy! No doubt Smashville came up as top restaurant in Jersey Halal Spots poll of favorite halal eating place!!
