Last week, we had dinner at Taste of Haifa, and we were so impressed with the food and service that…read morewe immediately decided to order catering for my birthday the following week. 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!

My wife loves Mediterranean food and when a new one opens, she wants to go…read more Earlier this year, A Taste of Haifa opened in Glen Rock right next to the Glen Rock Boro Hall NJ Transit station. 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.

Waiters took our orders quick but once the food came? We had to ask twice for more Sangak Bread since we ordered 3 different hummus. And originally only came with maybe 5 pieces of bread total which def wasn't enough for a party of 5 and 3 big plates of hummus. THE DRAMA- A waitress or the owner? She was holding a plate that I assume was my stew and I said that's mines and she automatically said no it's not mines...hmm ok my fault...yet turns out it was mines...she wasn't the person who took my order yet assumed it wasn't mines nor asked "did you order Gheymeh Bademjoon?" I found that off putting but shrugged it off, maybe I was just starving from not enough bread for all that hummus which was freaken delicious. We had a few main entrees and everything was tasty and def authentic with all those unique flavors. I did put the hummus over my rice for extra flavor, didn't want to toss them out. Overall it's a good spot, one of a kind of flavors you don't have often. My group left full but not exactly satisfied? Oh it's also a BYOB place. Not sure I would go back though.

We came here on a Sunday noon for family lunch. There were street parkings and public parking lot…read moreavailable near the restaurant. We arrived just few minutes after opening, so it wasn't busy at all. They had a nice cozy interior with lots of Middle Eastern decor all around the store. We started with the Kashke Bademjan, an eggplant spread appetizer, that was so good with the complimentary fluffy bread. For entree we ordered the kabob combo for one. It has half skewer of chicken, half skewer of lamb and a full skewer of Koobideh. The kabobs and the rice were excellent. I also ordered the Chelo Mahicheh, a lamb shank dish with rice, that was amazing, The stew was full of flavor. The lamb was so tender, it was peeling off the bone. I thoroughly enjoyed eating the rice with the stew and the lamb. It was so huge I had to bring more than quarter of it home. There was only one person managing the front side of the store, probably the owner. He was super friendly and gave us lots of recommendations on what to order. He brought all the dishes out in short intervals and took the empty dishes out frequently. Overall really liked the food and the dining experience at this restaurant.

Kabob on The Cliff has couple locations across Cliffside Park (first location), Ridgewood,…read moreRutherford and Englewood. We went to the ridgewood one. Street parking. Nice decor with the lamps. Clean. Quiet. The staff was very nice and attentive. Fresh baked bread on the house. It's warm, crispy outside and soft inside. I can probably finish that basket myself. It's so good. We got Kashke Bademjan (smashed eggplant). Great flavor, texture is consistent. So great with the bread. We also got kabob combo for 1 and lamb shank (the staff recommended). The meat on the bone literally fell out when you picking up. Packed with flavor and sauce/soup, juicy, tender. A must try. Kabob combo we got half chicken half beef and koabideh(mixed lamb/beef/onion). It's a great portion to try different kabobs. All are soft and tasty. Savory. Rice is fluffy. Salad is fresh. I love the fresh acidic salad against savory meat. Wonderful combination.

Solid halal food in a town you wouldn't expect to see since we're very...non city like. 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!

Their platters are good and extremely reasonably priced and open very late. My husband and I have…read moregotten take out from here a couple of times. 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.

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.

We love Ridgewood food was…read morevery tasty but they ran out of shrimps for my husband main course but instead we shared my lamb chops together because I was very full with a large appetizer that we ordered without realizing it was going to be that huge. But it was enough for us afterwards. Service was up and down but as a great human being that I'm I don't blame our waiter he was young and his first week so I'm sure he was nervous, confused and overwhelmed with a place with almost full capacity. it's all normal to happen, I'm sure he will learn as he goes through this experience. But he was very respectful and so apologetic to us and that was very kind of him. Wishing him the BEST!!!!
