This was the most delicious falafel I ever ate (and I'm middle eastern). All the food... the falafel, pita, hummus, grape leaves were made from the freshest ingredients. I ordered a falafel sandwich and didn't even know the garlic white sauce and garlic hot sauce (both superb) were in the bag. It was such a moist and herb-filled delight with just the pita and lettuce, that I devoured it. It didn't need any sauce, because it was that good!! I'm not usually a fan of falafel as it is usually made poorly with few herbs and over fried and dry and not made with the freshest ingredients. Freshness is key to all food, and middle eastern food is no exception. In fact, authentic middle eastern food must be fresh otherwise would be rejected as no good. The pita was so fresh and they included several of them to accompany our made to order vegetarian platter. Being vegetarian, we asked if they could make us a platter with hummus and dolma. Wow, we used the pita as shovels to dip into the absolutely creamy and delicious hummus. It was so fresh and flavorful and not greasy. We make our own hummus at home regularly as the store bought kind is not palatable. This was incredible hummus. The dolma was also out of this world. The grape leaves were so fresh and delicate and it was not acidic; again, some of the best I have eaten in my life which says a lot since I've eaten some incredible homemade dolma in my life. Finally, we ordered French fries. I think they were double fried the French way and they tasted like potatoes. They were so delicious and addictive. We ate too much as the food demanded it, everything being so delicious and fresh and homemade. We live almost an hour drive away. This quality of middle eastern food doesn't exist in our town so it was such a superb treat for us. Thank you! read more

I have gotten Moe's twice recently and both times were very good! I got the chicken shawarma platter both times and I was not disappointed. The chicken was very flavorful and they pack it in there. The lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were fresh and added brightness to the platter. The rice was perfectly cooked. The platter comes together with a white sauce, but the hot sauce packs a super flavorful punch. I'm looking forward to making Fat Moe's a regular part of my food rotation. read more

Ordered delivery yesterday. I had to feed my mother-in-law at lunchtime and she's partial to Mediterranean food. I had brought her to work with me and she can't walk well, so we couldn't leave the building at lunchtime. We shared a mixed platter and a couple of orders of spinach pie, and she was delighted. The spinach pie was light, delicate and delightful. The mixed grill was juicy. They gave us two things of sauce so we had more than enough. Delivery was fast & friendly.

Wow I was so excited to have a new platters in town and finally tried it today. We got a mixed platter, spinach pie and meat pie and some other items. Disappointment isn't even the word. The meat in the platters was tough and chewey.. The white sauce was disgusting, it's like they use some off brand dollar store mayo. The meat pies were dry and flavorless and the spinach pie was depressingly sour. Tabouli and fattoush salads were ok in flavor but didn't seem fresh and were super watery. Unfriendly guy at the counter also. I'm floored. This place tastes like someone's learning to cook but hasn't figured it out quite yet. We have such amazing halal food around like house of platters in haledon and of course juicy platters in Fair lawn... Like how can this place even call itself a platters place? It's a cultural disgrace. read more

Recently ordered some take out from this new place. I hope they work on improving because I would love to have a great Mediterranean place in town. I got hummus, grape leaves and a gyro sandwich. The hummus had a weird aftertaste and I wound up tossing it out. The grape leaves were lacking flavor. I've been eating stuffed grape leaves from various cultures for more than 40 years. These were very bland. Disappointing. The gyro was so overstuffed with very chopped up meat that I couldn't eat it as a sandwich. It was more appropriately spiced, but needed more balance of veg to meat and more sauce to balance the onions/garlic. Overall, not comparable to other area Mediterranean restaurants. But I do hope they work on it and improve. read more

The gyro can be a big hit or miss sometimes. It's been mostly good when I've gotten it. The fries have just the right amount of crunch. The hot sauce is too smoky and detracts from the flavor of the meet. The platters are pretty big but the rice is just kinda meh. The lamb gyro is my recommendation. I tried the beef sandwich once but it was doused in hummus, I couldn't taste the beef at all. Moe (or whomever the manager is most nights) is super friendly and welcoming. read more

Could be better. Folks are pleasant, but I got a beef shawarma, and it was pretty underwhelming. A little beef and VERY little by way of vegetables. The thing was flat as a pancake. Felt like a flimsy Starbucks offering. No frills. I recommend, for $6, you fatten it up slightly. shove some extra veggies in there! Taste was good. No complaints there, but it's not the kind of experience that'll put me back in the seat. read more

This place is great! But I say 4 stars because I wasn't amazed.......but that could be because my friends built the hype up that much. Either way I will be returning Combo shawarma? It hit the spot! Why I say 4 stars? It's the little things that most businesses do, that this place did not. My friend had issues with phone orders n delivery....sad part it's less than 1/4 mile away from his place and the delivery took close to an hour That said, I made my order inside. It was on point, hot & tasty at home, and large enough for two meals. Hot sauce was a tad too much fire for me. The little things that other businesses provide that they didn't and can easily change. When I asked for white sauce and hot sauce. They said "pour your own over there". Good, if you like a a lot of it. Bad if you are in a rush. Most businesses have it already in little containers, here? Nope. Put it in your own little container. Overall, food was great! But not at the 5 star point. Maybe bcs hype was over built from friends and their pics trying to make me jealous, or it really wasn't 5 star. That said, you be judge and check it out. In the end I'd suggest to a friend looking for local eats. read more

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.

I had to stop myself from filling up on just these, considering the homemade, freshly baked pita was also bottomless. If you don't want to dip your food into non-solid things, try the Cheese or Meat Arayess (stuffed pita pockets). If you need something crunchy, I'd skip the Fried Cheese and get the Cheese Borek instead (crunchy filo dough rolls stuffed with cheese and mint). For mains, get either the Chicken Kabab (more tender than any BBQed chicken has any right to be) or the Shish Kabab (filet mignon), or heck, even the Soujuk (beef sausage).

Which we had to exit out and go to the back just to use the bathroom and their dishes with ok it's more of the waiting. It was so small Me & family took over the whole seating area it wasn't much to begin with. But they definitely wasn't expecting that huge of a group to come in all at once. Some of the dishes were unique and tasty. These are some of the dishes we got - Mozzarella Sticks - Zucchini Sticks - Chicken Fingers - Qeema with Paratha [ Patistani Bread , chicken qeema, salad and mint sauce] - Reg waffle [huge] - Paratha Omelet [3 eggs, onions, green chilies,tomatoes, coriander] plus patistani bread on the side - Chai with Almond milk - Wings and fries which waited for the longest time [almost an hour] and it was still raw inside smh Overall this place was ok. The service wasn't even the greatest nor the food. Which it was quite a disappointment. My nieces food was uncooked and they only gave her a free milkshake as an apologize. I don't think we be coming back here again. When i asked one of the staff what is this wthat comes with the paratha Omelet and the staff gave me an attitude and said it's patistani bread like i should have known. It wasn't even listed on their menu that's why i asked. It's a cute place but with their rude attitude, uncooked food. No thanks

Honestly as soon as I walked in this new food place in town , I was excited and I came here as soon as I got the chance . Everything was sanitary and clean and the food smelled delicious . I ordered a mixed platter and everyone was so kind and nice to me . It made you feel as if you were family . I waited about 5-7 minutes for my mixed platter and when I got it , I was pleased with the amount and the food tasted just like , if not , better than what I was expected . I'm definitely coming back here again . Deserves more than 5 stars . read more

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Combo Platter with House Chicken and Lamb and Combo Platter with Jerk Chicken and - BOTH were excellent!! Rice, vegetables and halal meats were all on point and, surprisingly, comparable to what I would get at good NYC halal street carts (and I've been to A LOT)! Meats were tender, flavorful and portioning was more than enough for 1 serving. Rice was fragrant and delicious too. + Menu has your usuals to satisfy your halal street meat craving (chicken, lamb, falafel) + jerk chicken, which was interesting. In addition, they serve various fried foods (e.g., fries, mozz sticks, tenders) and desserts (e.g., baklava, cheesecake). + Multiple sauces to pick for your combo platter, including white, hot, BBQ, green, jerk and OMG sauces. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Employees handed us our online order without issue. Other than this, didn't have much interaction with them. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Spacious interior with a few tables for 4 and multiple tables for 2. + 1 unisex bathroom. + Private parking lot is shared with multiple businesses. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = OMGYRO is fairly new in the area (as of July 2026), but so far, the food is solid. Although we really had no company when we dined in on an early Friday evening at 6 PM, they had consistent takeout business.

The chicken is well seasoned and the rice is great. The white sauce is also good but their hot sauce is a little bit too aggressively hot without the hot sauce pay off you want. Only complaint is that everything seems oily but I think that is honestly just part of the actual platters and how they're cooked. All and all a good spot especially if you're craving halal that is like that from NYC.

I usually…read moreonly see halal food from a cart and open late for the drunkies in the city haha good to know there's one a few mins from me when I'm craving, specially since they open past midnight! That's unheard of in Westwood, we're a dead town after 10pm IF THAT haha Food is crazy flavorful, I always get the lamb and chicken rice platter which is pretty big. I've never been able to finish the whole thing at one sitting. Fair warning, their hot sauce is freaken hot and I can handle hot. Definitely don't overdo it and ask for it on the side. Trust me! Chicken wings are actually marinated before they batter up which is awesome. You get a flavor bomb with the crunch and not just sad plain wings like many places do. Fries? They def don't cheap out here. My goto for halal food. Ive only ordered take out but they have a pretty spacious restaurant seating inside as well. Def recommend!

Oved and Angela went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly what we wanted--and they absolutely delivered! The food was incredible! A huge platter arrived that was more than enough for eight adults, with a delicious variety of shawarma, chicken shawarma, lamb shawarma, steaks, kebab, and chicken. Everything was fresh, juicy, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The salads were delicious and perfectly seasoned, the falafel was amazing, and the stuffed grape leaves were tender and flavorful. The rice and fries were incredibly generous, and the homemade pickles and fresh, warm pita were the perfect finishing touch. Thank you, Oved and Angela, for making my birthday so delicious and special! We highly recommend Taste of Haifa!

The space is small and it has clearly already gained a following as it was still busy for a late lunch, plus there was lots of take out traffic too, all for a good reason! The food is out of this world! My wife had a sabich pita sandwich. As she ate it, she told me she is going to want to eat here every day! I had the meat schwarma sandwich, which was also excellent. The restaurant also brought us nice toasted spiced croutons and pickled cabbage, pepperocini, carrots and turnips. The food was reasonably priced and totally fresh. The owner noticed we were new customers and came to chat with us. She was so warm and welcoming. She brought us two pieces of falafel to try. I've been eating falafel for as long as I can remember and this was easily the best I ever had. We will definitely be coming back here often.

There are about 8 two-top tables and the place is very clean. Opted for the lunch special which seemed to be a good deal for a decent amount of food. I chose the Adana Kebab with two sides of rice, lentil soup, and the eggplant sauce. The term sauce here is a bit misleading as it's more of an appetizer or salad, but I recommend ordering it as it goes nicely with the bread. The kebab, rice, and lentil soup were all great, as well. I believe the rice has wheat in it, so be sure to ask if you have any gluten issues. It was a great value for lunch. The gentleman working, I believe is the owner, was also nice.

An Absolute Gem -- Lunch at Rose's Place is Unbeatable!…read more Rose's Place has quickly become our go-to spot, and we're actually headed there for lunch today! If you haven't checked out their lunch menu yet -- you are seriously missing out. The portions are insane (in the best way possible). We're talking enough food to easily feed the whole family, and somehow it's still super affordable. Every dish we've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You get generous mains and sides that are legit meals in themselves. It's the kind of place where you leave full, happy, and wondering how they manage to offer so much for such a great price. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and there's just something about the atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back. If you're anywhere nearby around lunchtime, do yourself a favor -- skip the chain spots and go to Rose's. Seriously. It's value and quality you rarely find anymore.

Eons Stix is a solid option if you're looking for a quick, customizable meal with a healthier feel…read more The concept reminds me a bit of Chipotle, but with gyros and Mediterranean-inspired ingredients. There are plenty of ways to build your meal exactly how you like it, which is both a strength and, at times, a challenge. The food was good, though the portions felt a little small considering the price point. One thing to keep in mind is that the line can grow quickly, especially during peak lunch hours. Because there are so many customization options, ordering can take a while when it's busy. If you're short on time, ordering ahead through the app is probably the way to go. That said, I enjoyed my meal and appreciated that it felt like a healthier alternative to many other fast-casual options. Fresh ingredients, lots of choices, and good flavors make it worth a visit.

The service is very attentive. Right when we sat down the host gave us water which was nice. The waiter was a little too attentive, kept coming up to us to ask if we were ready to order when we were not, and just kept coming and coming every two minutes. They give complimentary flat bread which is tasty. Our Persian friend mentioned usually Persian restaurants give the bread with herbs and feta rather than just plain. We did find on the menu the herbs and feta was an extra cost. We had the kebab combo and subbed cherry rice and salad (which is cucumbers and tomatoes) and also exchanged the ground chicken kebab for a chicken breast kebab. The standout was the steak kebab and the cherry rice. There were so many cherries in the rice, and it was both sweet and savory. I couldn't stop eating it. The steak was super juicy and well seasoned. I also really like the roasted tomato on the side, basil and pickled cabbage. We ordered a stew, think it was Ghormeh sabzi. It had a bunch of herbs in it, and beans and a dried lime. Was told not to eat the lime. It was a very strong and rich stew, I took a couple of bites. Don't think I could have eaten the whole thing. It's very strong. It's our friend's favorite Persian dish and she loved it. There was one dish we wanted that they ran out of but they gave us a couple of dollars off the bill which was nice. Overall excellent food! Would come back.
