Empanadas
Mohamed K.

Excellent customer service Absolutely delicious, fresh, well seasoned and cooked meats and salad and hummus/baba ghanoush. This place is legit, a great family owned operation, do yourself a favor and come here soon and often! Portion sizes and prices were fantastic, excellent value. I will definitely be back soon, thank you very much for a scrumptious meal!!

Everything was fresh and delicious. Meat platters were so good. Mint lemonade was refreshing. The appetizer sampler is a must order. BYOB and they have a back patio area for hookah which is a great hang out spot.

Very tasty food! Had to circle the block to find parking but felt it was worth while. Fast service & quiet inside. We had the mixed platter for two & it was honestly enough for almost 3-4 people! Impressed with the amount you get for the price. Although everything was delicious, there was no sauce for anything except for some hot sauce. We did not like our pita bread grilled. It was rock hard. I would return but I'd have to ask for sauce or just order hummus.

I had been planning to come here for months when planning our trip out for my nieces wedding. Let me tell you. They did not disappoint! I got the sample platter with Baba Ghannoush, Lebne, and Hummus. It was so delicious! The best Baba Ghannoush I've ever had! The falafel was so perfect as well! I also got the fresh mint lemonade and it was so refreshing. Everything I tasted was heavenly!!! The service was wonderful as well. The restaurant itself was nice and cool too. Don't sleep on this one!

ordered the mix grilled platter and the tomato pan, everything was cooked well. Wish they had better pita but other than that would definitely recommend.

Best middle eastern food in Hudson County! Kebabs, shawarma, kufta, and steaks are on point! Rice flavorful and perfect compliment! Their hummus is AMMMMAZING!! literally smooth and buttery! Labne and babaganoush are heavenly compliments to these house made pita bread seasoned and full of herbs and onions! My absolute best is a special plate they occasionally make called Maklouba, which is flipped pot of rice eggplant potatoes and lamb!!! Don't miss out on this culinary gem!

Mint lemonade definitely recommend getting this!

This have been my number spot! Came back for 3rd time and the food is still amazing. My kids love going there we as well. Family friendly and amazing staff! Thank you EL JARDIN!

New owners for real this time, not just changing names and still selling the crappy food they were serving, the food now is very very good, 100% better then the previous owners, they have a new menu with more items, I ordered the chicken shish kabob with brown Turkish rice, the chicken was seasoned just right and tender, very tasty, the Turkish brown was rice was delicious, it was the first time I tried it and loved it, also ordered some humus on the side, it was very fresh and creamy, can't give a bad review or complain, service was very good, definitely going back again, hopefully everything stays the same. Oh for desert I recommend the Kunefe, very delicious!

Ordered the skirt steak which was very dry and the vegetables that came with it did not taste right. The meat quality was also poor.

I got onion, pepper, green sauce, hot sauce and bbq sauce on the side. The hot sauce was not too spicy. We ordered online and our order was ready in 5 mins. Everybody was very welcoming and friendly when we went pick it up. Definitely recommend it!

When I walked in, I wasn't sure what to order at first because I'd never been to a Shah's Halal…read moreFood before. But the man serving customers at the counter (on a Sunday afternoon) was so: gentle, kind, polite, welcoming and respectful that he immediately put me at ease. I relaxed into this new environment. And I read their menu two or three times; then, I decided on a falafel gyro. It was only 9.99, which makes it really affordable for the UWS! Plus, I got to choose which veggies and sauces to put on it. I enjoyed that sense of agency with my food...I'm not a picky eater, just highly selective. : ) With that, he patiently assisted me in making a beautiful and colorful falafel gyro, which I enjoyed quite a lot. I even texted some of the following photos to my Dad, since I thought this dish looked so gorgeous! : ) My Dad agreed. Hehe ~ With that, this place's low key and friendly vibe paired with its inexpensive pricing (for what you're receiving), makes it a wonderful neighborhood attraction. The food was so delicious, and the location was so convenient! (It's just one street and an Avenue away from the 1 train at 96th.) Go check out Shah's today -- you surely won't leave hungry! : ) With Gratitude, Peace & Love, Katherine "Kat"

It's a mom & pop shop so nothing super fancy, but well-kept. 2. Food (4/5) Babagannoush (APP, 5/5) - TAKE. MY. MONEY! Man I love me some good baba and this was exceptional. Velvety with great mouth feel and lovely smokiness this was so good w/ their table bread Turkish Ravioli (Manti) (APP, 3/5) - Chewy little nuggets w. yogurt filling, it was pretty enjoyable though my colleague gave ma "Meh" since she makes them at home and probably has high bar. It was good for maybe the first 3 or 4, so perhaps better ordered for larger groups. Shepherd Salad (APP, 4/5) - Fresh, bright(as in vinegar), and herbaceous, we added feta cheese to it and it was perfect balance to our entree. Kofte Kebab (MAIN, 4/5) - Not too dry with packed flavor of all the herbs & beef, I really enjoyed my dish. Went great with all the other accouterments such as slightly cinged wedge of tomato and onion slices, all frolicking on a bed of warm rice that had a nice bite. Adana Kebap (MAIN, 4/5) - My colleague had this one, and I tried a piece. It was juicy and had no hint of gaminess which is always a plus for lamb. 3. Service (3/5) - This being a mom & pop store, I think they're short on staff. Usually they're all in the back cooking, so you do need to be a bit patient to flag someone down. But I'm sure they're more attentive during busy hours. (We went during weekday) Overall, Hakki Baba is a solid turkish mom & pop shop that delivers on great authentic flavor at a reasonable price. In the sea of turkish restaurants in Cliffside Park area, this one is one of my favorite. Pay them a visit!

Really wish I took photos - therefore just like the great convos with the wonderful, extremely personable and educational counter gentlemen - will be coming back real soon with photos Review: Hudson Kebab House isn't just good--it's memorable. I had the gyro wrap, my wife had the chickpea salad with falafel, and both dishes were so on point they brought me right back to my time in Istanbul. Flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. The wrap was balanced, not greasy, and the falafel had that perfect crisp-to-fluff ratio. But what really stood out? The person behind the counter. Not sure if he's the owner or just part of a family-run operation, but his energy was magnetic. He checked in with us--and with everyone who came through the door--like we were all regulars. Friendly without being overbearing, helpful without the upsell. He made the food taste even better, if that's possible. This spot has soul. It's the kind of place you return to not just because the food is excellent (it is), but because it feels good to be there. I'll be back very soon to try the kebabs, and when I do, expect a full deep dive--possibly with pictures, definitely with passion. 15/10 - must try. Strong BUY, erm, sry, not investing.. STRONGLY RECOMMEND

First time trying yesterday and I was delighted. I got the mix kebab plate and baklava. Tzatziki was full of mint flavor and perfectly complimented the charred meats and buttery rice. I loved that this plate had an assortment of gyro and kebab meat, and came with pita and salad as well. Overall super good quality and great service, fast takeout and well packaged. I can't wait to return and try their other items!

It was 5pm on a slow Monday so we were seated right away. The interior is cozy, quiet, and clean. We started with 3 Mixed Appetizers along with their complimentary warm bread. The 3 dips were all solid but nothing out of the ordinary. Good flavor, smooth & creamy texture, and great for sharing. I love ordering dishes like the Mixed Kebab Platter for Two as we get a taste of everything and it's family-style. The presentation was beautiful, the meats were tender, and I like that they paired it with rice, bulgur, and some salad. All the meats were tender and well-seasoned but could've been hotter in temperature. I particularly enjoyed the chicken & lamb adana kebabs. My other minor complaint was the sides were not enough to share and the ratio compared to the meats was off. We definitely could've used more rice with the meats. The staff were super kind & friendly the entire time. Decent try overall!
