Walking into this restaurant with the smell of incense and the employee politely greeting us. I asked him what's recommended and he told us to order the mixed grill. Within 10 minutes, we had our food. The food was so delicious that my friend and I didn't speak to each other the entire time we were there because it tasted so good. A large platter of food for only $15 and it was filling too. Would highly recommend coming here and getting the mixed grill! read more

I had the mixed platter and the babghanoug and the hummus. Probably one of my fav babaghanough I ever had. Slightly Smokey not overpowering in smoked flavor. I'm normally not a huge fan of chicken kebabs bc I feel they lack flavor, but their chicken tastes DEEEEEEELICIOUS! that's definitely marinated in deliciousness. The kofte and lamb and kabsa rice were also yum. This platter will feed me for 3-4 proper portioned meals. The platters like mansaf and maklouba are I believe a 5 person minimum catering order u can't buy it as a single plate at the restaurant. Call at least 3 days in advance with ur catering order. Can't wait to come back and try more. The owner was very kind and felt like family. The prices are beyond reasonable for quality and quantity. The shop is a casual no frills spot with framed things worth celebrating such as loved ones and recognition for food donations. read more

The food was amazing, best lamb kebab I've had. The service was fast, I love how it's an open space which allows you to see your food being prepared. read more

Their treatment is bad with the customers and the food is very disgusting and the shop is very dirty and smells bad

Not getting to enjoy chef Karim's delicious good as often as I used to as I'm not in the area as often. Food is still authentic, fresh, and reasonably priced. Have never had a disappointing meal in all the years I've been coming! If you haven't been and you enjoy Middle Eastern food, check it out! read more

I came to this establishment a couple of weeks ago but they were closed for Ramadan. Today I got the same craving and made my way back for takeout. Located off of Lanza Avenue in Garfield since 2016, this cozy Palestinian-owned restaurant, Al-Yamama Grill Shawarma Kebab was luckily open serving Mediterranean cuisine. Upon arrival, you'll start craving all the food from the pictures hanging wall. Greeted by Karim who's the owner/chef, he made my falafel plate to order consisting of 6 sizable falafel, rice, salad, 2 pitas and small white Tahini sauce. The falafel were made fresh, well seasoned and tasted deliciously. The rice was okay. The portion is huge so if you're up for sharing and a light eater, split 1 by 2 people. The price is reasonable and the service friendly. I can recommend this place. read more

This is in quiet part of town. Away from route 46. Easy to get street parking. The place is not too small. A few tables and also good for groups. The food is fresh and good. For the price the portions are large. Will visit again. read more

My husband and I ordered catering from Al Yamama grill for my father-in-law's birthday. Look no further for catering! I cannot recommend this place more highly! Karim was so patient over the phone when he explained the catering package to me. He was extremely accomodating when I asked for a substitution. He even sent a picture of a previous order he had made for me to better understand the portion. The food was fantastic. Amazing value for the portion, quality, presentation, and hospitality. We will be back! Thank you so much, Karim! read more

Al Yamama Grill - 25. Beef Shawarma - Halal Near Me - Garfield, New Jersey

Ordered take out for a Friday evening dinner. Got the chicken schwarma, lamb, and chicken kabobs. For a starter we got the baba ganoush - this was fantastic and I would order this again and again! So creamy and nuttiness from the sesame. The chicken kabobs were my next favorite and I would definitely order that again as well. The lamb wasn't as tender as I normally like and the schwarma was a tad over seasoned... but all tasted great overall! Highly recommended! read more

Due to pandemic,we strictly practice social distancing.In celebration to my daughter's birthday I wanted to surprise her send food for her birthday.Since she's away from us I don't want her prepare much at her end.This Al Yamama Grill I found in Yelp while I did my search near my daughter's place and they accept delivery.To my surprise,the owner whom I talk to over the phone when I did my inquiries and made my order was too accommodating.So I made it a try.They delivered the food on time for lunch and my daughter was surprised it was a kind of feast.I'm pretty sure the food was so delectable.They love the whole package.Thank you Yamama Grill for this sumptuous 7-8 people catering service you have that it's more than I expected .God bless you more on your business because you're so kind person and I can feel it.My sincerest review. read more

I had originally yelped this place and now it was time for me to see what everyone was talking about. I tried the falafel and it was really good. Plus the sauces made it better. The kufta entree was solid. I'll be back again for sure to try other things on the menu now that I know the food is good. read more

We used Al Yamama to cater for my henna and everyone loved the food. Great service and great pricing. Definitely consider for catering!

Outstanding!!!! simply blown away....at first I was a bit concerned as nobody was inside on a Sunday afternoon and in the past every time I came at night they were closed. Wow!!! once the food touched the table all my concerns went out the door. The marination, the tender meat, the flavors but most of all the humble owner. He explained to us that Sunday is a half day but they are busy and do a lot of catering. This is my new favorite for middle eastern food....forget about the no need to be expensive places in Paterson....Will definitely be back again and again read more

My meal this time was rushed. Delivery took 2 hours probably cuz it was busy. I ordered from here before and can tell a difference. It was more dry, bigger messy chunks. Food was mediocre and their definition of gyro platter is flawed. The so called gyro was thick dry chunks of steak for the gyro platter read more

I ordered delivery and everything was amazing. Everything was fresh and tasted authentic

Best middle eastern food I've had in a while! My family and I came here to eat after a day of shopping for Mother's Day. We live in NYC so we thought we were going to get average middle eastern fare. We ordered the chicken kebab, beef kebab, ribeye steak, and kibbeh with two teas. The rice was a different, more authentic grain than we were used to in NYC. Most of the places there have a brown, long grain basmati type rice but here it was a softer, wide grain. So good. We were raised in Saudi Arabia so it definitely brought us back home. The kibbeh was fried perfectly! The ribeye was soft, medium rare, and with alll of the meat dishes you can really taste the smoked flavor from the grill. Food wasn't spicy, but hot and white sauce was also given. You can tell this was a family restaurant and he had paid particular attention to us even tho he himself, was probably fasting. I am definitely coming back, I found a new favorite restaurant read more

Two words: amazing food!!! Randomly decided to try this restaurant as we were starving while passing through the neighborhood. It was one of our proudest discoveries as foodies. It is a little hole in the wall place. Very clean and the food is absolutely delicious with generous portion sizes and very reasonable prices. Now we visit quite often and have recommended it to many others. Keep it up guys! read more

The food was delicious. The hummus was home made and the Shish Kebabs were tender and cooked perfect. I can wait to go back for more. read more

Thank you for staying open Karin Bhai! It was like being back in Dubai eating the best middle eastern food. Tender and flavorful kebabs and lip smacking mezze read more

This place is seriously so good! The food is made to order and with such care. The owner is such a nice guy who really cares about his customers. If you've never had this kind of food before, try the Al Yamama platter because they give you a little bit of everything. The kebabs are the best I've ever had and they don't skimp with the rice. I come here at least once a week for the hummus alone because it's delicious. This place is quaint so you can come in for dinner or take your order to go- they package it so it all stays fresh. This place is delicious. read more

Best in area! My husband and and I come here often to get the Yamaha Platter for 2. It's a little bit of everything and we always have enough for the next day. Prices are fabulous- food like this in NYC would be double. Also recommend getting the hummus, he sprinkles sumac on it which makes it truly authentic. read more

I love this place! The food is juicy, tasty, and the service is just awesome. It's operated by Husband and Wife, and they definitely put their heart into the food. I've been coming to this place since they opened up and they have been consistently making delicious mouth watering food. Everything is tasty at this place. I hosted my daughters birthday here and everyone raved about the tender chops and overall succulent meat. Don't miss this place :) read more

Delicious food I'm a picky eater but this place makes the best everything with an affordable price.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing food! Especially the chicken steak and baba ganoush! The owner and all the staff there are super kind and sweet people. I always feel at home when I go there . Karim is such a great chef and a kind soul. The smell of the charcoal is so amazingly pleasant ! I eat there at least two to three times a week. Also the falafels are out of this world! read more

Terrible. Absolutely disgusting, chef wears no mask whatsoever and coughs in the food the entire time while cooking it. Wouldn't recommended to anyone, you may get sick. read more

A shout out to the Al Yamma Grill!! What a gem in the middle of a very unexpected area. Home-made taste and flavorful with wonderful friendly owner/cook. Very large portions for the price you pay in comparison. Will definitely come back with a larger group next time it has more on the smaller side dining space with takeout menu too. Street parking in a residential area. read more

The food was excellent as was the service! We had the yamama platter for 2 and could only manage to eat half of it. I highly recommend this place. read more

This is by far the best restaurant for me and my family. We try other places but always come back to Al Yamama. It's simple, clean, delicious and energizing. The owner and his wife are always welcoming. The chicken is juicy and cooked to perfection. Everything else on the menu is scrumptious. Suby read more

Ran out of rice. Salad was stale. Meat was hard. Honestly didn't feel right. The service was terrible. Forced me to accept fries instead of rice. read more

We tried to order via grub hub, but someone from the restaurant called to say they don't deliver. The man was very rude and refused to cancel the order himself. Very unprofessional. Would not recommend. If giving no stars was an option, I totally would. Zero stars for this place read more

Love this place.we order from here all the time and it's simply amazing. Five stars all the way. But they do charge delivery just so you are aware. If we were closer would pick up but. Always delivery read more

The owners are always very welcoming and they make the food taste like home, everything is delicious and made with love.

Such amazing food! My friend and I ordered mixed platters and a tabbouli salad for delivery. We wanted to try something new, and although I'm not really fond of, "juicy platters," and "halal guys," this place really tasted like home cooking. The meat was so juicy, especially the chicken! (I didn't even know chicken could taste so soft and flavorful!) The salad was a great starter, fresh, and guilt free. Everything was great! It took a while for them to deliver, but it was worth the wait! I will definitely want to try the rest of the menu in the future. read more
