I've tried the Paramus (takeout) and Fair Lawn (delivery) locations before and really liked it, so I decided to order via UberEats. I ordered at around 7:30 and the food came within 20 minutes, which was super quick. But even then, the food was already cold. I ordered a gyro platter, gyro wrap, falafel, and maduros. The platter could have been good if it was hot but the gyro and the rice were cold. The wrap was cold and soggy. The falafel was good but again, cold. I think I'll stick to the other two locations.

First time trying this spot and it was just as delicious as their Harrison location! Ordered the chicken pita, with fries, a side of plantain, and a classic bottle of Coca-Cola. Wasn't able to eat it right away and it was still so "juicy" and yummy! Drizzled the white sauce on top...omg! The fries and plantain was good too! Food was very satisfying! The employees there were nice and greeted when you entered. Inside was also clean to dine in.

Mixed Wrap

It looks stuffed, but honestly, it wasn't. I thought it was tasty but it lacked in protein. You get a big tortilla wrap stuffed with one scoop of the meats and everything else . Came with a side of white and red sauce, which I thought was pretty good as well.

I was in the area and had a craving for a gyro so I search for places in the area and found juicy. It is in a small shopping center with plenty of parking. They are following mask requirements and socially distanced seating. There was a table outside to eat as well. If you aren't familiar with the difference between platters, wraps, pita, etc. check out the menu ahead of time. The cashier greeted us immediately and was very patient as we made our decision and easily answered all of our questions. I went with the Gyro pita and my daughter got the chicken pita with french fries. Our order was completed quickly and I was excited to get home to eat. Everything was super yummy, the meat was moist and well seasoned and beware that the hot sauce is really really hot AF. They want you so don't say you haven't warned. When I'm in the area again I will definitely be back!

Made a return trip for lunch on this Good Friday at Juicy! located at a shopping mall in Hackensack. The food is healthy with a Mediterranean genuinely flavor. The menu is mix and match: choose a base (platter, salad, pita, or wrap), a protein (or falafel ), add toppings, then add sides and sauce. I ordered the falafel platter which contained generous portion of falafel (deep fried balls or fritters made from ground chickpeas), sautéed onions, whole sliced pita bread, lettuce, and rice. Complimentary sauces of tahini and hot sauce were given to accompany the meal. The food is tasty and flavorful. The portion size is great and the employees are friendly. As a Yelper Elite, the establishment offers a complimentary drink. Definitely will be returning as this is now my favorite Halal spot.

Mixed platters

This was my 1st visit to Juicy Platters but I have been to similar restaurants which were okay but not especially note worthy. I totally enjoyed my meal especially the spice level. I had the mixed platter adding tomatoes and spicy chick peas for a small additional charge. We shared a side order of fries and each had a fountain drink. We both added a healthy dose of white sauce to our meals and dug in. It was very filling and flavorful. I would have liked more drink options

After visiting a Juicy location for an Elite event last winter I decided to try the one in Hackensack last night as I was headed out to the breweries. A little food before eating makes for a safer night. This location is a little larger but didn't seem to have organized the counter as well. They didn't carry Bubly flavored seltzer water as the other location did, however I decided to just have a bottle of water. I ordered a pita with chicken and beef with all the fixins with a side of falafel bites. My wife ordered the plate with brown rice, a greens blast and falafel. This was one great meal. The food was absolutely delicious. The greens in my wife's plate were so perfectly done they mixed really well with the rice and the falafel. The beef and chicken in the pita was spicy and oh so good! The best part of this place are the prices, great freshly made food for a fair price. This place gives new meaning to fast food, it is truly outstanding. I only wish they would open a location closer to my home. After enjoying a good meal I was ready for the brewery.

It's like chipotle for Mediterranean food. You pick if you want a pita or a bowl which means your topping over rice. If you choose rice it's the basami(?) rice and the. You can pick beef or chicken or both and add tomatoes, lettuce, white sauce that is tangy, big olives... if you choose the pita is the same but They put its on top of a pita. The pita is what I had an it was messy. Good thing I ate it inside because i used a fork. If I would of tried to eat it like a burrito we would of had issues! Decent food. Your order and sit down and they call you to pick it up from the counter. $10 a person. I didn't like the rice though. It tasted curry-ish go

Finally got around to trying this place after hearing good things and it did not disappoint. Big bowl of food, tender meats, delicious white sauce...it rates up there with my favorite NYC halal cart. Will have to put it into my rotation. Ordered/paid online while I was in stop and shop for 10 minutes and it was ready for pickup when I was done!

My mixed platter, all dolled up and ready for me to eat!
Divine M.

Fresh, hot food, fast and friendly service, decent portion for the price. The meat in the mixed platter is definitely tender and well-seasoned, as the aroma hits you when you open the container. I tried my platter with a "green blast" (cooked kale and some other good green stuff) and caramelized onions for a little extra nutrition. The white sauce and hot sauce were gooood. The pita was just standard grocery store pita, but the rice was very nice. I was surprised to see that they also have wings on the menu. A few different flavors! I didn't try any, but there's always a next time. The restaurant itself is clean and colorful, with a casual indoor dining area and some outdoor tables. Most of the customers who came in took their food to go. Parking is easy, right out front in the parking lot.

Chicken was extremely fatty, and didn't like the texture. The salad was soaked in watery dressing. I wouldn't eat here again.

Plateaus and plains of fertile soil formed by now-extinct volcanoes, snow-covered mountains, and fast-flowing rivers lend themselves to a rich and varied table. Influenced by Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and Eastern European food and culture, Turkish cuisine is distinctive, as varied as the country itself. Located on busy W Palisade Avenue in downtown Englewood, my partner, our friends, and I decided on Antioch Restaurant for a celebratory dinner before a show at the nearby Bergen PAC. We made a reservation for a party of five via Yelp. Upon arrival for some of us as first-timers, this BYOB establishment offered a cozy yet modern vibe that felt both welcoming and elegant where we were seated immediately. The dim lighting sets the perfect mood. A well-balanced menu features plenty of choices for everyone. We decided on Antioch House Falafel, Turkish Meatball, Chicken Gyro Plate, and Classic Fettuccine. We began our meal with complimentary huge balloon bread (Balon lavaş), but it became hard like a cracker once it cooled. The food was fresh, well-executed with a distinctive combination of traditional and contemporary flavors, and delicious. Every dish we tried and tasted had been cooked with the utmost care, authenticity, and the presentation was amazing. The owner, Ugur, was a pleasure to talk to--friendly, welcoming, and professional. Definitely one of the better restaurants we've tried in the area, and a place that represents Turkish cuisine very well.

No pita bread for $43. I also got the mixed cold appetizer which has 5 different spreads and that came with only 1 pita bread cut in half for $24. How ever the appetizer was good flavor just needed more bread. Ground meat pide was pretty good. For dessert I had the khanefe. I'm used to it being a little more crunchy and syrupy but I guess that's just a personal preference. Overall food was good. They don't give you enough. Portions are small for the pricing.

I want to expand and try more things, like the chicken and beef kafta. If you have questions just ask. Certain platters come with different items. Some rice, some salad, etc. Thier pita is fresh and delicious, and comes in different sizes. They have a decent sized dining area for dine-in, and the take-out area is right as you walk in the side door. Here you will also find a grocery area with Lebanese essentials. The selection is sizable, and offers items you won't find in a regular grocery store. I stocked up on spices, and coffee. Prices are reasonable, and portions are generous. I will return every opportunity I get.

Tried Lulu for the first time on Saturday. Excellent experience…read more It was right before the staff showed up for dinner service, so only a couple of tables were occupied. The menu is simple, but covers everything we love. Server came by with warm, fresh, fluffy seasoned pita and a dish of seasoned olive oil. Great start. Started with Cheese Borek and Fried Liver cubes -- The Borek was the best we have had and we order that anytime we dine Mediterrean. The 4 Borek were fat, fried to perfection, and their filling of Feta and spinach was hot, melty and super tasty. We love love Fried Liver, and Lulu does it to perfection. The portion was huge, and dressed with red onion and lemon juice, it sang. We decided to split an order of Manti, those delightful tiny lamb dumplings tossed with burnt butter and garlic yogurt -- holy holy. We ran some liver around that sauce, and were glad we saved some of the bread to sop everything up. So good. Ordered the Kunefe, as we always do. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the table -- so if you are thinking about it, order it before they take your dinner plates away. The Kunefe was good. We think they forgot to add to the syrup it comes in -- but maybe that's the way they do it. It won't disappoint, but I missed that rosewater sugar syrup we are used to. Different places, different recipes. In all, Lulu did not disappoint and we look forward to visiting again. Go, go go. And tip your servers well.

As we walked in, it wasn't too busy, we got a table right away. The interior looked super pretty with brick wall background, tables and booths for dining indoor. They had outdoor seating available too. The menu had lots of interesting Mediterranean dishes. We started with the grilled octopus that had delicious seasoning with mix of olive oil and red wine vinegar. The complimentary bread was fluffy, accompanied perfectly with the octopus. The branzino was a flavorful filet, well cooked. The side of spinach was well made too. I loved the lamb kokinisto (from specials menu). The meat was so tender and the sauce was incredible. I just kept taking bites and eventually finished the whole bowl. At the end I took the rice pudding to go and loved the taste of it. Our server Stephen was super nice, paid full attention to all his tables. He told us about the specials of the day from which I actually found out about lamb kokinisto. The appetizers came out quickly but the entree took some time since we had ordered branzino and lamb. They add 3% surcharge for credit card, so take cash if you want to avoid the extra fee. But overall a solid place to enjoy excellent Mediterranean food.

One had eaten and taken out from here before and liked it, so we called, didn't need a reservation, off we went. At about 5:15, give or take, we were the first patrons there. It's a lovely large space, warmly decorated with tables and some banquettes. We chose a 4-top kind of right in the center! Comfy chairs, btw. The menu isn't strictly Greek or Lebanese or Turkish, kind of a combo of good choices from those cuisines. We started with an appetizer called Tinos Artichoke. Very interesting, served with small warm fresh wedges of pita plus a cup of deliciously seasoned pita chips. It's a dip of mashed artichokes with Greek yogurt, sun dried tomatoes, parsley, garlic, feta. S tasty! It's a great portion to share among several people. My friends each ordered the chicken soup with vegetables for appetizers. Quite a nice sized bowl for the price; I love avgolemono, if that's what it was (I didn't taste it), just didn't feel like having soup. They both liked it very much and then they were pretty full! I ordered two appetizers for my meal - Symi Shrimp and Grilled Halloumi. Excellent choices, and they worked really well together as a meal! The 2 slabs of perfectly cooked halloumi are served on a bed of romaine lettuce and some threads of carrot. The shrimp are small, very lightly breaded and deliciously seasoned; menu says garlic, lemon, but they were reddish so I suspect maybe paprika as well or cayenne + paprika (not hot but not bland), shredded feta sprinkled liberally on top. I'm a big eater, but after the appetizer I wasn't able to finish my meal; today I reheated in the toaster oven for a lunch treat! One friend had just the Symi shrimp as her meal; the soup had filled her up and she also took some home. Our other friend had the chicken shish. This came as a really well-balanced plate, with plenty of cubes of chicken, rice, and veggies. We ALL had to-go bags! Appetizer portions, just based on the appetizers we were served, are ample for sharing. Didn't stay for dessert, as I had a train to catch back into the City. When I'm out in Bergen County again, I'll think about coming back. If you live in the area, GO, It's very good and not exorbitantly priced.
