There were no long lines, we immediately place our order Got 2 Shawarma plates one with rice and other with salad.

Baba Ganoush was nice but the quantity was so tiny. Not worth the money. If you want to eat something filling and decent this is not the place!

I got the Golden Chai (hot), the Israeli Cigars and the Shawarma Bowl. With tax and tip my bill alone was close to $45. 20% Gratuity is added to groups over 4. The Israeli Cigars were tasty with the sauce but not sure if the 5 piece app is worth $12. The Shawarma bowl was good but definitely could have used more sauce. The Golden Chai was so creamy and full of spice. So delicious on a cold day. There were no complaints from anyone at our table.

This place offers up fantastic Mediterranean fare and is run by some of the nicest people around. When they saw my husband eyeing a platter of an interesting dessert, they offered us both small spoonfuls to sample (I don't remember what it was called, but it was coconutty and delicious). I adored the falafel platter, which was a behemoth serving of 6 falafels, freshly made hummus, tabbouleh, and pita. The falafels were freshly fried and had a lovely sprinkle of sesame seeds. Coupled with a smooth smear of homemade hummus, my eyes were fluttering shut as I ate. My husband's side of the table went similarly silent as he dug voraciously into his mixed shawarma sandwich. He especially appreciated how they toasted the wrapper, which was more like a lavash than a pita. Before we left, we got a baba ghanoush to go. Our jaws dropped when we saw the serving size. We're so used to getting tiny containers from other spots that this giant aluminum platter of eggplant spread - complete with a little pool of fresh olive oil drizzle and stack of warmed pita - had us stilled with shock. We appreciated the sides and variety of sauces that came with our meal. The small cups of mayo, tzatziki, and spicy sauce, along with olives, pepperocinis, and pickled radishes, really helped complete our meal. These small and thoughtful touches made this meal feel more like eating in someone's home kitchen rather than a restaurant. On that note - know that everything is made from scratch and to order, which means the food will take a little longer than you might expect from a fast casual spot. This sweet gem is located on a random street in Hackensack, and a bit hard to find if you're not looking for it because there isn't much to draw attention to it. There's a small parking lot right in front of the restaurant, making it easy to drop in for a quick meal or to-go order.

Either find on the street nearby to walk or in the very tiny space in the front (to which good luck if you try to back out). However, that said the food more than makes up for it. Extremely fresh food made from scratch, you can tell the quality is there looking at the kitchen. This is also the only place to this day that I've found in the area that serves hot grape leaves, which are my favorite item on the menu, most mediterranean spots only make them cold. Their platters are also very filling and solid portion size. If you prefer to go lighter, there are also sandwich options with or without fries. Seating is very small, so takeout is their main business though you could certainly dine in if you'd like. Service has always been solid, the owner is very friendly! I'll keep coming back despite the tricky parking.

We both ordered the lamb and chicken over rice, naan and a side order of stuffed grape leaves, 2 sodas. Food was good, but more rice than meat.

Well, I always went for the chicken because I don't need to worry about non-meat options but the food was always really really good. One other consistency was the service! The team at Royal Grill 37, which always seems to be busy, is ALWAYS customer-focused and friendly!! For some reason it has been awhile since my daughter suggested Royal Grill 37 and I didn't know why but there are lots of options for take-out in the area but I was going to be in the area by myself and I wanted something good to eat so I called Royal Grill 37 and ordered my favorite. Chicken over Rice with extra white sauce. I walked into the small storefront restaurant that gave off a nice positive energy. Yes, I felt very welcome and that friendly team was friendly just like they always have been. They handed me the 'heavy bag' because you always get a lot of food at Royal Grill 37. But when I opened the container to enjoy my solo dinner it was ugh ... the food was not tasty and the amount of chicken was minimal on top of a big pile of rice. The side salad was ok. But it really didn't taste very good ... yes, I know I could add the tasty white sauce but that would merely hide the fact that the chicken wasn't very good. When I talked to my daughter later she said that they had stopped going there because the taste just wasn't what it used to be. Not sure what happened .... GREAT SERVICE ... LOTS OF FOOD ... REASONABLE PRICE ... but ugh, I don't think I will go back.

Falafel balls are fragrant with spices, crunchy on the outside, and steamy and soft on the inside. Every bite brings out something new in your food. These guys make excellent hummus. It's silky smooth with a creamy taste. Another neat bonus is that they have all kinds of non alcoholic beverages in the cooler for you to try with your meal. These aren't your typical American soda. They're imported, and come in little glass bottles. I tried the apple soda, and it was delightful. Space is huge, and has plenty of seating, but it's never crowded so if you come with a bunch of friends, you'll likely have plenty of space to sit down.

That's my only gripe though...the food is fresh and the service is good. Stopped in 40 minutes before close and they seemed to be wrapping up for the night. Sadly, they meant it would be a 15 minute wait for the chicken kabob. Opted for the chicken shawarma which was well cooked and quite tasty. The chicken was piled high on a bed of lettuce and I had cucumber sauce on top. You get two sides with the platter and there's some unique options to compliment your typical choices. The avocado hummus is a nice consistency and a good balance for the shawarma. I really wanted pickles, but likely wouldn't order them as an entire side.
