Mix Grill Platter
Yasser H.

Found this restaurant on the yelp app in search of gyro platters. It's a small privately owned "mom n pop" place. There was a couple inside that were making the food and taking orders. They were very nice and helpful. We ordered the mixed platter over rice and the Fat22 sandwich combo. The items were delicious. Sandwich came with French fries and the gyro platter was very good. Meat was seasoned and grilled and topped with that sauce and served over a bed of rice, with some salad greens on the side. They had a long list of Fat sandwiches, which I plan to try in the subsequent visits. Still getting the hang of these fat sandwiches In Jersey. Finally, they did have some lunch specials on the menu, but I was too overwhelmed by all the items that were on the list.

Place is very clean , great customer service and delicious food! Definitely one of my go tos! Warm family as well

We stopped by 22 Bites on Saturday night to get some take out because I love Halal and I was thrilled when I just happened to notice they were a newer spot in the neighborhood and they've been on my book marks for quite a while. Now I write tons of reviews and don't just give out 5 stars that easy but they totally deserve it! First off the staff was so friendly and welcoming. The young man who took our order was so nice. I ordered the chicken gyro platter that comes with rice, fries, salad, white sauce, & some pita bread. Extra white sauce for me. My husband ordered the 22 Bites Platter that comes with Beef & Chicken Gyro, Salad, Rice, Tahini, Hot Sauce, & Pita Bread. He also added a side of the white sauce. We waited about 10 minutes and he let us know our order was ready to go. I also asked about delivery since we live in the area and he let us know they do offer delivery through either Uber eats, Grubhub, or Doordash so I picked up one of their menus and we were on our way. We got home I unpacked the food and took my mandatory pics...lol I added a little hot sauce to my chicken gyro platter and dug in... I really enjoyed it. The chicken was juicy, the rice had a good flavor, the salad was fresh, and the fries were crisp. I really liked the flavor of their white sauce too and the pita bread was nice and fresh. It's a very large portion so I did have left overs. My hubby on the other hand.... no leftovers...lol I asked him how was his food when obviously I knew the answer. He said he really enjoyed it. So needless to say I see many return visits in our future. So basically if you're in the mood for some delicious Halal food with some wonderful friendly service then I highly recommend you pay 22 Bites a visit.

This is such a find for us! Excellent Mediterranean halal food, good portion, reasonable prices, and friendly and courteous service to match! Funny, the gentleman & lady owners were watching futbal together on their own TV away from the one in the dining room and we shouted and laughed at the same time! Since I had a brunch already, I just ordered the fish platter, which is well seasoned and delish, and a baklava to shut down my tooth fairy. A definite go-to place for halal food if you're in the area -- even if you're slightly out of the way like we are, it's worth the trip.

5/5 AMAZING FOOD!! TOTALLY COMING BACK!! I was in the mood to try something new and my sister recommended me 22 Bites! It took us only 10 minutes to get there, which was great. When we arrived, the restaurant was very clean and the owners kindly greeted us. I decided to order the Chicken Gyro Platter because it looked delicious in the pictures! The wait for the food was about 10 minutes because they were preparing it right at that moment. It was nice knowing the food was being made fresh! Once the food was ready it smelt AMAZING!! I couldn't wait to get home and try it already! My first bite of the Chicken Gyro Platter was DELICIOUS!! The rice, sauce, chicken, and pita bread were prefect. I also really enjoyed the side of salad:) I 5/5 definitely recommend 22 Bites and will for sure be coming back! Thank you to the owners for the great ambiance, incredible food, and for being so sweet!!

Quick and fast delivery ! Food was actually fresh and tasty . The rice is flavorful and not like your typical dried out rice that takeout has. Great portions as well and everyone was so nice

We ordered 2 beef gyro platters. Chose to go there because it's the closest to us and wanted to try something local. Unfortunately, the food isn't as great as some of the review says it is, but not terrible either. There's no need for fries when going for halal food as they get soggy by the time you get home. I'd prefer more salad and no fries. The meat is also not seasoned as well as other halal places. On another note, they are very clean and have good customer service!

Chicken Gyro meal

Definitely craving halal and this did the job. It was so delicious, some of the best I've had. Everything so flavorful, filling and fresh. I did an online order and picked it up, was greeted with friendly service. Only a few tables inside. I'd definitely recommend getting it!

GYRO CHICKEN PLATTER
Angel R.

It's a small restaurant might be hard to find but it's really good quality food and reasonable pricing. I always get the gyro chicken platter like atleast once a week! It's so good, comes with fries. Big portion.

We were recommended the family special platter, and I didn't even have a chance to take a picture of the appetizers because it was so good. Genuinely I'm not sure if we just caught them on a slow night with the emptiness, but the environment was very welcoming, and the service was great! I'm used to Palestinian style middle eastern food growing up northeast NJ so I was a bit skeptical it was as good as the norm, but I have to admit... I found my new favorite spot.

Food was fresh and delicious; attentive and timely service-wise, too. Ordering delivery was a bit of a different story. Ordered two gyros and neither had tzatziki which was very disappointing. Tzatziki is what we live for and the shining star of a gyro--how do you forget that not once but twice?! Then there were the very greasy and droopy fries. Yes, fries are delicate travelers but these were hopeless. And at a $9(!!) price point, they should really find another way of transporting them to customers. Last, the lentil soup was not prepared well. It was bland and overly thick than many others I have eaten before by other chefs. All in all, not terrible but rather a bad lasting impression. Don't think we'll be returning.

We tried the Tikkaville sandwich and medium-spicy tenders, and both were good -- crunchy, spicy with a very manageable kick, and filled with tender, juicy chicken. There are a few areas that could make the food even better. The tenders have a dry, crunchy breading that tends to fall off the chicken, and since most of the seasoning is concentrated in the coating, the chicken itself can taste a little bland. The chipotle dipping sauce definitely helps. The Tikkaville sandwich has a great concept, but the tikka sauce could use some refinement. It leans a little acidic; I think a creamier, smokier, butter-chicken-style sauce could make the sandwich richer and much more crave-worthy. Prices are reasonable and the ambiance is nice, although you can constantly hear the fryer running in the background. It's a self serve concept so not much to report here. I really admire what Namkeen is trying to do -- it's a creative concept with plenty of potential. With a little more refinement and consistency, I think it could go from "good" to something you genuinely crave and keep coming back for.

One look at the crowd told us the food had to be good. Even though you order at a kiosk, the staff are incredibly hospitable. Everything looked so good that we had a hard time choosing. We knew we wanted lamb chops, and they offer two styles: Australian and New Zealand. We went with the Australian, and it did not disappoint. The order came with two thick-cut chops, so flavorful they didn't even need the sauce. The wings were a generous portion with a nice sweet-and-spicy kick, and the paratha roll was just as good and full of flavor. I honestly can't wait to go back and try more!

When I approached the register, the employee asked who I was picking up for. I showed her the order information on my phone, and she checked it before walking away. The problem was that she never came back or gave me any update. I was left standing there waiting, assuming the order was still being prepared. After waiting longer than necessary, I had to approach another employee to find out what was happening. I was then told that my food had actually been ready for several minutes. That was frustrating because a simple update or acknowledgment would have avoided the entire situation. What bothered me most was that when I finally brought up the issue, instead of acknowledging the inconvenience, I felt like I was being brushed off with a quick "have a good night." I understand that restaurants can get busy, and I'm not expecting perfect service every time. However, basic communication, attentiveness, and respect go a long way especially when someone is simply trying to pick up an order. I'm leaving this review because the pickup process needs improvement. Management should make sure employees are communicating with customers and following through after asking them for their order information. A little better customer service would make a big difference.

The country's cuisine reflects its multicultural history, with influences from Persian, Central Asian, Indian, and even Mediterranean culinary traditions. Though the food was served quickly, it wasn't made quickly. Rice, particularly long-grain varieties like basmati, is blanched for a day before it's cooked. Meats are marinated in carefully prepared concoctions for hours to ensure tenderness. Lamb shanks are stewed for hours each day. Never had Afghan food? You're not alone. There are only a handful of Afghan restaurants in NJ. Located at the Westfield Plaza off of South Avenue E, some of my colleagues decided on takeout as first-timers for lunch, which came recommended as the food tastes and feels like home from this family-owned and -run establishment. We called the order in for their family platter consisting of Ground Chicken, Lamb and Beef Kababs, Garden Salad, Brown Rice, Fresh Naan Bread, and a side of Potatoes with a red sauce and yogurt. Upon arrival at Famous Kabab Cuisine, my colleague and I were greeted by the owner, Ahmed, who has more than 25 years of experience in making fresh bread and kabob, and informed us of a 5-minute wait. The food remained hot back into the office, would feed 5, and have some for leftovers. The kebabs (ground chicken, beef, and lamb) were well seasoned, tasted delicious, and paired beautifully with the brown rice. Top that bread or kebab with the trio of sauces. A white yogurt sauce with dill is very reminiscent of tzatziki sauce, a vinegary green sauce with cilantro and pureed walnuts, and, for those who do want the heat, a red habanero sauce that should have come with a warning. Overall, one can tell the food was made fresh with quality ingredients. It is not cheap, but one gets decent portions, which we can recommend.

We ordered takeout but next time we'll have to stop by and dine-in.
