They pride themselves here on the quality of their organic coffee beans, and it shows.

There are tons of pastries both sweet and savory so next time I'll have to try one of those. The baristas new also friendly and eager to recommend coffee drinks that they believe you'll enjoy. Would come back for sure!

Took me back to my roots in Lahore, Pakistan and was overall a 10/10 experience with the amazing and hospitable service they gave me and accommodate us quick while being so busy. The food had to be top tier too we tried their chicken Karahi, gol gappay, mojitos, butter chcicken mix grill and varieties of naan and it all tasted so delicious I even packed 2 bags of takeout for the week! Also they were so kind to give me kitchen access so I can film videos and got a few very nice shots of food/ambiance/and vibes with my camera. The interior is also very well decorated to match the city of Lahore which topped it all off. Honestly this had to be my favorite Pakistani restaurant in all of NJ and I'll definitely be back with more friends and family!!!

Each time I went the only vegan option was Chana marsala which is classic. We also enjoyed the rice and a 'brown' one with green beans therein and the white one both with lovely long grains. The food definitely tasted rich so strict vegans need to consider if this is indeed vegan. It's near the Clifton train station so a great option if you're coming home late and need something for the table for dinner. The samosas were delicious again not sure if 100% vegan but we enjoyed. And the pricing was reasonable; the chickpeas with rice & one order of Samosa, which was plenty for the two of us to share, was about $15. This is takeout food; tell them you'll heat it up when you get home or they will zap your entre there. You can certainly eat there too. They had tables and they can heat it up for you. The rice is in a rice cooker so remains hot.

That even includes their pita bread, which is made right in house. We tried the chicken kebab, kofta kebab and lamb chops, which all come with an abundance of rice and salad. The platters are flavorful, tender and filling. Then we got into the mazzah which is essentially a bunch of dips worth trying! I loved the hummus which was soooo fresh. We also got the fried kibbeh, falafel and fried cheese. All of these items were super easy to eat, great finger food options as this is a takeout spot. And you can't forget the drinks! We tried their mint lemonade, regular lemonade and strawberry mango, and they were all equally refreshing. I loved how easy the whole takeout process is. You can order with someone at the counter or use their self-ordering system, grab your food and go. Everyone we interacted with was super pleasant. I really liked the clean dining area too. Perfect comfy spot for a quick bite.

Arriving at Al Basha felt almost otherworldly. It's tucked into a part of Paterson I'd never…read moreexplored before, surrounded by a large Middle Eastern community, and it had been on my radar for a while. I'd been dying to finally try their renowned Palestinian food. I came on a Friday night, and the restaurant was packed with families and large parties. They even offer valet parking--which tells you something about how popular this place is. And forget paying extra for bread. They start you off with a whole basket of 4-5 pieces of soft, house-made pita, along with pickled vegetables. The menu has both small plates (hot and cold mezze) and entrees, but we really wanted to sample as much as possible, so we went with the small plates. We ordered the fried cauliflower, fried cheese, lamb and beef sausage, and falafel. Everything was truly incredible, and the portions were very generous. The cauliflower was a little oily, but that's to be expected with fried cauliflower. It still had an amazing crunch, and they brought us complimentary toum and hummus for dipping, which was such a nice touch. The fried cheese was incredibly fresh and crispy with a light saltiness that made it hard to stop eating. But the falafel was the star for me--and probably the best I've ever had. Falafel usually isn't something I order first; I'm pretty take-it-or-leave-it about it. But these completely changed my mind. They're longer and more oblong than the usual round falafel, and the texture and flavor were fantastic. The lamb sausage was also really good. The only item that felt just okay compared with everything else was the beef sausage. On the drinks front, they don't have fountain drinks--only Boylan sodas. Sadly, no Diet Coke, but that was a very minor point. The service was amazing all night, and between the generous portions and all the different plates, we had plenty of leftovers to take home. They also have a smaller takeout location very close by if you can't get a reservation at the main restaurant. Overall: Al Basha absolutely lived up to the hype. Incredible Palestinian food, generous portions, warm service, and some seriously memorable falafel. Definitely worth the trip to Paterson.

My friend and I enjoy trying different ethnic restaurants. I found Balochistan Restaurant on Yelp…read moreand knew it was our kind of place! Have to admit that I needed to do a bit of an internet search to learn about the Balochistan region. We showed up at 6 on a Tuesday and had the place to ourselves. Super authentic and vibrant decor! While they do have an option to sit on the floor at low tables, we elected to sit on amazingly comfortable chairs. The gentleman who seemed to be the owner was friendly and professional. On my request, he gave some information about Balochistan and then some great food recommendations. We ordered the mutton Rosh and a mixed grill platter. We added an order of the naan, which was perfect with the mutton. The mutton itself was super tender and came with nice condiments and a lentil side dish. The mixed grill platter had a pop of spice. The beef and lamb were tasty but we both thought that the chicken leg quarters were one of the better chicken dishes we've had in a while! Washed it all down with the salty lassi drinks, a perfect yogurt savory complement to the meal!

A very disappointing experience overall. We ordered Mutton Rosh, Kabuli Pulao, a mixed platter, and…read moreBeef Chapli Kabab. Aside from the chops in the platter, nearly everything else was overly dry and tasted like it had been sitting for some time. The Rosh portion was quite small, and the chapli kababs were overcooked, hard and lacking moisture. When we brought this to their attention, the response was simply, "sorry, it was cooked too well," which was far from satisfactory. Additionally, the utensils and plates did not appear properly cleaned, raising hygiene concerns. The seating area is also quite cramped and uncomfortable. Considering we spent around $230, the experience fell well below expectations. I would not return.

I went to the counter and requested they bring sauces with the food but the person at the register said to please just take it myself because they are busy :/. Then we got the perimayo corn, literally a drizzle of peri mayo with boiled corn under. We had to request more sauce, and mix ourself. Lastly we got the salad ( tribos) and seeing it was $8 i assumed it would be a nice salad. Literally a basic salad made with ice berg, and a few kalamata olives on top wish i got a picture because it was such an unfortunate salad. Ive had their salad before and its been good . Anyways -overall chicken and rice 9/10 Customer service and sides/salads need work for sure. Them being busy should not ever be on the customers cost and im always very generous with my reviews. But if you are giving a tip option, there should be some service involved i think.
