    the front of the restaurant

    Best falafel in NJ, not even kidding, this family run middle eastern and possibly Pakistani Indian influenced cuisine pinches way above its strip mall class! The freshly made falafel, lamb & chicken shawarma, and perfectly executed dishes have made this the go to lunch spot that also delivers on Grubhub. The only thing I could ask for is less salt in the babaganouj but otherwise 5 of 5 stars! Also they bake their own pitas i believe, and they are the tastiest pitas ever!!! Never had a bad meal here ever in the dozens of visits I've made, highly recommended!

    Chicken Shawarma Pita
    Stephanie C.

    My husband and I wanted Chicken Shawarma Pita's for dinner but our usual spot was closed. I found Crazy 4 Falafel on Yelp and I'm so glad I did! The Chicken Shawarma Pita was so flavorful! The hot sauce was very hot but I did enjoy it. The Jerusalem platter had a nice selection of different things and everything was delicious! I wish it came with additional pita. I'll definitely be ordering from here again.

    Falafel Sandwich in a Pita
    Jonathan R.

    I was not terribly impressed with Crazy 4 Falafel $17 and change for 2 Falafel Sandwiches to go. The Falafel was very good, crispy and very flavorful as was the vegetables. The pickled cabbage was fantastic. The sandwich needed some hummus or extra tahini, as it was a bit dry. Speaking of dry, the folks running the counter offer very little in terms of conversation or personality. If you visit I recommend taking your order to go, the store isn't attractive nor is it very clean. The Sandwich was good but I wouldn't be in a rush to go back.

    Located right off the New Durham exit off I287, this would have been an ideal pitstop to grab something quick to eat. With falafel being their signature dishes, we ordered a couple falafel pita sandwiches on this first visit. It took 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, the sign instructed to wait outdoors once order is placed. This is a first as far as COVID prevention measures, but I treated it as a positive. Hand sanitizers were on the order counter as well as at multiple tables. Plexiglass sheets were hang and masks were worn. You certainly feel safe to order food here. As for the falafel sandwiches - the pitas were toasted perfectly and the toppings were fresh mix of red cabbage, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumbers. The optional tatziki sauce was good, make sure you ask for it. The price was on point. The only issue we had was actually the falafel itself. For some reason, all of us experienced something undesirably hard on the bite. That's actually a serious downer. I'm giving it a generous 4 star rating. I'm actually looking forward to trying their shawarma dishes next time I pass by the area.

    Chicken Shawarma over Rice Platter

    This place is small but amazing. Got the pita with lamb shawarma, chicken shawarma platter, chicken kebab pita, side of seasoned fries. It was all delicious and was super cheap. Great place and nice staff!

    Jerusalem Platter

    Falafel is a tricky item to order and have to keep an open mind to the interpretation of this food. It was listed under Middle Eastern in Uber Eats but feel it was more of a Pakistani Indian version of falafel. My father from Jordan was visiting and threw off his palette but in the end a good way and new experience for us all. Every region has their own take on Falafel and this was not the true chick pea based with green filling. This was very spicy and more Indian influence fusion. The same for the hummus and baba gananoush lots of garlic over powering flavor. The grape leaves did not taste fresh more canned. The baklava was good though tasted more authentic. The basmati rice had a kick to it and the chicken was more tandoori as well. The garnish salad was different too with a pickled cabbage with cucumber and lettuce. Also accompanied with lots of sauces-tzatziki was more heavy yogurt labneh then traditional , green cilantro sauce and traditional tahini. The item that was different was the Kibbeh with tahini which tasted like meat tho, but it was not meat not sure what it was, and the phyllo feta dough sticks.

    The definition of a hidden gem Not gonna lie when you first roll up to this place your going to get some sketchy vibes. It def does not look the part and is not really done up a whole lot but don't judge a book by its cover. We found this place on yelp because we wanted to eat something before meeting some friends at top golf. We took a chance on this place because we love trying new things. So glad we took a chance on this place and tried what they had because we can't wait to go back. It's very very authentic and it's something you really can't get anywhere else. If you love trying new things you have to stop in and get the falafel they have there.

    Came to this place randomly. Had the chicken shawarma plate. It was excellent. Most delicious chicken shawarma and rice in the area.

    Jerusalem Platter
    Ujwala K.

    Tried food from this place for the first time this Saturday (09/18/2020) and I loved the food. We ordered closer to the closing time but I assured them that we would be there just on time. They were obliging and kept everything ready. We had chicken shawarma and Jerusalem Platter. My husband thought his food was little dry and some sauce would have been nice. They gave tahini and hot sauce on the side but he doesn't like either. Since mine was all salad and falafel, I had no complaints. The taste was amazing.

I ordered the edamame dumplings and absolutely loved them. They were delicious, full of flavor, and honestly won my heart. My husband got the vegan double cheeseburger with beet and walnut patties, which was something different from the usual veggie burgers we've had. The patties were really flavorful and delicious. We also tried their house-made dragon fruit lemonade, which was refreshing and went really well with our meal. Since it was our first time, our server was really nice and helpful. He took the time to guide us through the menu and helped us decide what to try, which we appreciated. The service was good and the ambience was nice and comfortable.

The Food Starter: Edamame Dumplings, Salad: Organic Tuscan Kale, & main course: Vegan Double Cheeseburger (WOW‼). I would recommend this to everyone for sure. The only minuscule disappointment was that our beverages were delayed, and the Edamame Dumplings were a little disappointing; in that it was lacking a very small portion of Edamame. My daughter did place another order, and this time the Edamame was well served. Yet she was not offered a compliment credit towards the unsatisfactory portion on first order. The good atmosphere was vibrant and excitable in the Mix. Definitely add to your To-Do-Visit

From the moment I walked in and mentioned it was my birthday, they made me feel so welcomed. I was seated right away, and the service throughout the entire night was impeccable. My waitress was AMAZING!!!!so sweet, attentive, and genuinely lovely. The entire staff was on point. Someone was always checking in, clearing the table, or making sure I had everything I needed. I started with the Blush Spritz mocktail, which was beautiful and refreshing. Then I ordered the lobster bites as my appetizer.so scrumptious! For my entrée, I had the brined & grilled half chicken, which was juicy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I also got to meet Duke, the owner. He came over, introduced himself, told me a little about his story and the restaurant, and was just incredibly friendly. That personal touch really added to the experience. At the end, my waitress surprised me with a birthday dessert and sang Happy Birthday to me. They also had live music, which made the atmosphere even better. Going out alone for your birthday can either feel awkward or empowering, and they made mine feel special and so welcoming. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, impeccable service, and genuinely kind people. 10/10 birthday dinner. I would absolutely come back.

    It was a Friday night at 8pm and we were able to get a table for 2, not the best location (next to…read morethe meat locker) even though there were others. We waited 10 minutes just for our presence tk be acknowledged. They used the "we are very busy" excuse, even though many of the servers were just standing around and walked by us many times. Lots of wood in the room so it was a bit loud, but not impossible to have a conversation. We ordered the ribeye for two and some sides. The steak was a little fatty, but the meat was cooked perfectly. The star of the dish is the Haitian "chimichurri" served on the side. Potatoes and veggies were tasty as well. Although they could use some help with people skills, once the food is finally served (45 minute wait for us), it makes up for it. This could easily be 5 stars if the staff were friendlier and more attentive. Will try again on a slower night.

I was comparing the two too much, instead of just finding my go to order at Salad House. I customized one of their signature salads by removing two toppings and adding four more (including avocado), and that's where the price started climbing fast. I wish there was a system where you could swap toppings of the same price value instead of being charged for every additional topping regardless of you removing toppings from the salad. My original $13.49 salad somehow turned into a $19.84 salad and personally, I would not pay almost $20 for that exact salad again. I did have a $5 off new customer coupon, so originally I didn't mind adding the extras because I thought my total would still be reasonable. But when I got to the register, the cashier couldn't get the coupon to show up on my account, even though I was showing him the active coupon on my saladhouse app. I think they should have a barcode or QR code system instead of employees manually searching phone numbers and emails to find coupons attached to customer accounts. I didn't make a big deal about it and just told him it was fine, after he tried both my email and phone number. I told him I'd use the coupon another time. After sitting down waiting for my food, I noticed they had self service kiosks. Out of curiosity, I typed my number in myself... and magically the coupon showed up immediately. So instead of letting it go to waste, and having to go back the next day, (my coupon expired the next date), I used the coupon towards an order of the buffalo chicken poppers. As for the food itself, the salad was very filling, I did not even finish it until the next day. I just think next time I'd rather try one of their actual signature salads instead of building around a memory of another restaurant. Paying an extra $2 for avocado, and getting 4 very thin slices was something that I did not appreciate. So I probably wouldn't add avocado again. The ingredients were fresh, good quality, and the salads are made to order. It's a nice a bright space, with a decent amount of seating. The portions were a good size, so I would give Salad House another try.

First, it is VERY loud in the restaurant, hard to have a conversation without talking very loud. While the service people were very nice, the service was so - so. They took about 20 minutes to come over, we ordered cocktails and an pasta as an appetizer. It took about 20 mins for them to bring bread after we ordered. Then the cocktails and app came out immediately after. Cocktails are meant to be enjoyed before your dinner, not during it. While the cocktail was fine, I wasn't interest in having it at this point. I had a couple of sips. The bread they brought out was fantastic. One of the best breads ever. The pasta was amazing. I really enjoyed it. We had the buccatini with guaclian (sp?). So I really looking forward to the Pizza. We put in the order for our pizza, went to the men's room and when I came back the pizza was on our table. Very strange it was so fast in less than 5 minutes. I am sorry to say the pizza was horrible. Soggy crust and dry pizza, not sure how that is even possible. Crust and pizza in general had no taste. I had this strange feeling the pizza might be premade and maybe they just add the topping for your order I don't know. Overall, it was very much a tale of 2 cities. Iffy service and horrid pizza. Yet great bread and pasta.
