Its a good platter. Tastes better than the NJ halal guy locations, and they also give a lot more meat. I believe its a couple more bucks than halal guys, but the differential seems justified. Only complaint is that the lamb wasn't the best. First of all, they use some type of minced lamb as opposed to pieces of lamb, so I'm guessing its not the best quality. It also didn't have the strong lamb flavor. Next time I will just save a few bucks and get chicken instead. They did grill the meat after we ordered, so it takes a bit longer, but it does taste better freshly cooked. read more

Food is excellent with good amount of quantity. They now have an extended menu providing more options beyond the platters. The platters and sandwiches are really good alongside the chicken cutlets and i can say the falafels are the best we get in Jersey. Quick service even on pickup orders and a really good place to sit and eat as well. read more

So... never judge a dish by its cover. When I first opened the bag I thought there was too much sauce at first glance. Well, when I took my first fork full of rice with the sauce I realized it was just right. The sauce was really good and really went well with the rice and chicken. My wife thought the same (she had the falafel). They were pretty large servings. I really enjoyed the food and definitely recommend NJ Halal Bowls. You can expect more orders from me in the near future. PS. The Baklava didn't disappoint either. read more

It's been a while since I've had C&R. But this place brought back memories of standing in line on 53rd & 6th. Most importantly, the flavor was reminiscent of NYC carts. I was worried that it would become dry in the time it took the delivery to get to us but that wasn't the case. Even when I ate leftovers 3 days later, it was pretty good. Needless to say, next time I have a chicken & rice craving, I know where I'll be ordering from. read more

Average tasting food. But good for quick halal snack. Quick service. Reasonable prices. Average ambiance.

This will definitely be my go to spot for halal bowls in edison now. The lamb was declines and cooked perfectly. Loved the ample greens and rice, and I didn't even need to ask for them to load it up with white sauce which is my favorite. The mango lassi was also perfectly sweet and yoghurt-y. read more

Update only for Chapli Kababs- tried kebabs a couple times after my last review and like most SE Asian restaurants struggling with consistency, the quality of kebabs have gotten down. they are suuper hard, has egg white fragments telling that it's more egg than chicken, and potentially not quite well mixed too. totally pass. will find another place for kebabs now. read more

Absolutely garbage food. The chicken in the rice platter was half cartilage and fat, just marinated in the chicken spices to look like they give you a lot. Customer service is also garbage: the young gentleman working the grill and sometimes the front has the biggest attitude and thinks he's doing a favor by preparing the food. You are getting paid, so dump the attitude. Fuck this place read more

Best halal food in NJ. Chicken and lamb platters are by far the best I have taste. Gyros are also so good. Food is seasoned to a T. This my go to spot for good food. Trust me you will not be disappointed. read more

Gentleman at the counter very nice. Chicken bowl is so good - reminds me of NYC. Chicken is very moist, spicy sauce sooooo good. Salad nice and fresh. Delicious read more

Food and service wasn't great. I came in around noon and there wasn't anyone in there. The guy working the counter didn't greet or acknowledge me and even after I said hello to him he didn't make an effort to make me feel welcomed by getting off of the counter he was leaned up/relaxing on. I asked him for a pretty standard rice and chicken plate and he seemed annoyed and made ordering super difficult. The food was quick but not good at all. The white sauce was bland, hot sauce wasn't hot at all, veggies were old. It's unfortunate because I really want businesses like these to do well. read more

I discovered this place awhile ago and it never misses! The lamb platter is delicious. I think it's better than the chicken. This places style of lamb is more chopped up and less chunky than other halal places. I enjoy this style more so if you don't maybe avoid the lamb! They give you a pita with the friend and the salad is cucumbers onions and tomato. Be careful, the hot sauce is very hot so I usually only get 1 or 2 lines of it! read more

Tonight we ordered the chicken platter and chicken biryanis, we haven't been back for a while, it wasn't so great, but after checking on the reviews, realized it is under new management, so we gave it a try. It did not disappoint, both bowl were delicious, although the rice in the chicken platter can be a little softer. But the chicken biryanis is so flavorful and that kick of spice really put it to the top. Also the portions are pretty generous. Will definitely order again. read more

This is my occasional late "go-to" meal on nights when I decide to have dinner after 9 pm. I usually get the chicken gyro platter. I love the flavor of the chicken and it is more aesthetically appealing than some of the other "Halal" places with a similar name. The mixture of chicken, rice, salad doused in the white sauce with lines of hot sauce almost sounds illegal. Hot sauce is potent!!!!! I used to do 3 lines but I think they changed their bowl sizes so I felt 2.5 lines was good. Best to ask for some on the side if you don't know how you will tolerate it. read more

Came here for the first time Saturday night to pick up some food. I was really in the mood for a chicken platter so I figured I would check this place out since I've had it on my bookmark list. Funny thing is I asked my fiancé to drive me since he had dinner earlier with friends and wasn't hungry. I didn't tell him where we were going I just put the address in the GPS and said drive.... Trust me he wasn't amused that I made him drive 30 minutes for a chicken platter but I thought it was pretty funny... that's the price you pay for eating without me...lol Anyway back to the food... I got my chicken platter $7.99 with rice, lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber and my favorite white sauce and a dash of hot sauce. Got some extra white sauce on the side I think it was .50 extra Also got a fountain soda only $1.00 only bad thing they have Pepsi products and I'm a Diet Coke person...so had to suffer through a Diet Pepsi. The food was pretty good not the tops on my Halal list but still solid and I would definitely eat here again if only it was closer to home. read more

This place tops the other places in Jersey, especially Halal guys. I still prefer the trucks you can find in Brooklyn or NYC, but this is pretty damn close, and pretty damn good for jersey. The chicken here is actually marinated and seasoned! Really delicious. They also serve lamb as opposed to only beef. read more

Okay, I ordered delivery via UberEats because it was one of my only options on Christmas. It was bad. Real bad. I got a lamb & falafel platter. Lamb was ground, but tasted fine. Basically only edible portion of the meal. The falafel tasted like a freezer and was burnt. The rice tasted like...nothing? It was also inexplicably swimming in oil. See the pic for how much congealed grease this turned into when I finally dumped it out. Not even sure why I stuck it in the fridge, instead of the trash straight off. The Baba Ganoush was mayonnaise. Literally even just smelled like opening a jar of Hellman's. Some eggplant was mixed in as a weird visual courtesy. Absolute worst halal platter and baba ganoush I've ever tried. Not sure how this place has 4 stars. read more

The lady seems nice. Ive ordered and i waited outside for my order to be prepared. I was disappointed with the food. I had the beef sandwich: I won't recommend as it was 95 % lettuce in big chunks. 5% of " beef" that was tasteless minced meat, too much garlic/mayonnaise sauce . Had burning sensation in my throat after eating that. The packing was nice though. In a box ;) read more

Came in for lunch while at a local hotel. Chose a large chicken platter for $7.99. What a bargain! Hot food is prepared to order. Got a large amount of fresh and tasty food! Lots of salad choices to go along with my chicken and rice! At first I thought the rice was shredded carrots as it was orange! Don't worry though, it just tastes like rice! My companion ordered a chicken quesadilla for $4.99 and she said it was great! Look at the picture and check out the amount of chicken and cheese you get! The fountain soda for $1.00 is a bargain too! The red sauce packs a real kick! Check it out! read more

Based on what I've tried, I'd probably give this a 2.5 to be honest but the other menu items look good. I had a paneer kathi roll and a potato kathi roll. Both lacked flavor especially the potato one, which was so bland that I threw it out. The chutney and white sauce are good although I wasn't expecting to see white sauce inside the roll. I'd skip the kathi rolls but I want to try the falafel next time. I ordered a falafel sandwich once on Grubhub and they sent some meat platter and chicken - I'm vegetarian so I couldn't eat it. Not sure if it was the delivery driver or the restaurants fault but I was disappointed. Overall haven't had a good experience but will give it one more try for the falafel. read more

LOVE this spot! I usually come here about once a week for the chicken rice platter. The hot sauce is spicy if you're not used to spice but I typically get 3 lines of the hot sauce and it will have me sweating half way through my meal. Writing this review has me craving it now. Go try it out! read more

The lamb gyro and chicken over rice are nice. I feel the chicken chapli Kababs are their best kept secret. They should push that more than just putting a small poster in the wall. I've been there twice. The food is nice but there is no place to sit down, i.e, no dine-in. read more

Came in for lunch after hearing about this place from a freind. No big sign out on the road or in the complex pretty easy to miss. It is next to oak wood pizza across Burger King. Walked in to a very clean restaurant. Casual seating, pretty empty for lunch surprisingly. Orders a chicken platter. He warmed the chicken in front of me and toasted some pita and added the side salads and gave me my own bottles of hot sauce and white sauce. That is good so you don't have to go up over and over again. The meat it self is lean and clean with not to much oil so actually healthy and good! But the meat wasn't much flavor to it. Rice was regular platter style rice but didn't taste much flavor. White sauce was average had to add a lot to get flavor. Not a bad place, good quality but not much flavor. Would come back to try the lamb. read more

Would've given them three and a half, but you know how that is. Food experience knocked them back that half a star. I ordered 3 chicken platters w/ extra chicken, opted for falafel also. Never ordered from them before, but figured how can one screw up chicken platter? Sadly...I was mistaken. Chicken was rubbery and heavily doused with salt. Perhaps experience will get better second time around, but system's still recovering from all that sodium. Pros: Reasonable prices * Get lot of food * These guys don't skimp out on that HOT SAUCE * Cons: Heavy usage of salt like it's no one's bloody business * read more

Tasty food at affordable prices. Their hot sauce is one of the hottest of all hot sauce.

BAD SERVICE! The food is good I have eaten there before BUT. I have an allergy to bread (celiac disease) and when I order the chicken platter it is served with the bread. So while I order I tell them no bread. Today I ordered and I told them no bread, I head to the restroom and when I finished I walk to the front and there is bread on my platter. I politely ask the worker to make another salad without the bread because now the salad has cross contamination. I tried to explain to him multiple times that since it touched I can't eat that salad to serve it again on a new platter and I will buy it but he didn't understand and made me leave the store. read more

We visited often as our kids love their chicken over rice. There are times you can get chicken freshly prepared in front of you and at times they have it prepared in advance. Fresh preparation is anyday better. They offer a variety of toppings and the portions are good large in size. We also tried their chicken sandwich and thats also a winner. The price could be better, however with the portion sizes, this is a winner for anyone craving chicken over rice read more

This spot is a hidden gem on the heart of Oak Tree Road. My friend recommended this location and I had to visit it because I love Middle Eastern cuisine. In my falafel platter, I added lettuce, onion, tomatoes, cucumber, and cheese. It also contains six enormous falafels and spiced, orange basmati rice. I requested extra white sauce on top and red, spicy sauce--amazing meal for a low price. read more

Was in the area and was looking for a place to grab a quick bite to eat. I followed my fellow yelpers to this place and boy was I happy I did. It was a Friday night and they were busy but they did a good job with moving the line. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and reasonably priced for the large portion. Their white sauce is really good too so of course I kept loading it on! read more

NJ Halal Bowls - $6 each pitta with hummus - Mediterranean Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Given all the great reviews, I decided to finally drive out of my way to try the platters here. Parking and seating should not be a problem as there is plenty of both; NJHB is in a strip mall and has plenty of tables. The interior is low-key, but they do have a neat touchscreen POS system. FOOD: We ordered a couple of Regular-sized Combo Platters (chicken and gyro--$7.99/ea) for dinner and ended up being happy with what we received. Chicken was already being chopped and grilled on the flat top when we walked in, while the gyro was sliced off the spit right after we ordered. You can load up on all the toppings you want, but we opted for hummus and a few vegetables for each one. While I thought the chicken was good, the gyro was probably my favorite of the two. Both the white sauce and hot sauce tied everything together; each platter also comes with a couple pieces of bread. SERVICE: The guy that initially did all the work was friendly and kept asking if the amount of rice, meat, and toppings for each platter were enough. Hopefully he gets someone to help him, though, since it was a 20 minute wait with only 2 other customers ahead of us. I'm a huge fan of halal (and similar) platters, so this is the first of probably many visits. I'll be back. ***Yelp is being a brat (again) and won't attach my photos to my review, so here's the direct Yelp link to see them: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nj-halal-boys-edison-2?userid=e1dYw-1Km6IAwXlOLIMAeg read more

Soooo I wanted to be totally honest with this review! I was definitely skeptical walking into this place. I was so excited because it's literally a 5 minute drive from me!! When I walked in my husband and I wanted a platter (obvi) they asked us what we would like on the side. It was kinda like your at chipotle! I ordered a mix of lamb and chicken and it was AMAZING!! The chicken was tandoori style and the lamb was minced I felt like the meat and the taste of the meat was 10x better then the halal guys trucks that only taste good when your drunk! I was definitely sober on a Sunday night and as I went down the line I got salad, yellow rice, tomatoes, taboli, cucumber and onions! My husband did all that plus olives cheese and babaganoosh! We got home and I was ecstatic on how good the food was!! I was hoping since it was so close to home but I was blown away. In comparison to Halal Guys the food is 10x more fresh and made on the spot when you order. The white sauce is amazing and not as heavy as the Halal Guys. If you like spice like myself the hot sauce isn't AS spicy as the Halal Guys but should we be eating thattttt spicy anyway?? Lol if your in the area and love NYs Halal Guys I can assure you that this place will be your new favorite spot!! Perfect location for the Edison crowd!! read more

Food: I got the chicken platter. You can choose what vegetables you want and then you get rice, chicken and bread. The chicken is flavorful and tender. The rice could use some more flavor. It was a little bland for my liking. The white sauce is a must! Kind of like a ranch. The red sauce is super spicy so beware if you can't handle spice. Price: affordable. $6 for a small platter. Service: great! The woman helping us asked if it was our first time and guided us through the process. Overall, pretty good. Still like the original halal guys in nyc better but this will do. Would come again! read more

Walked in a few minutes before closing. We were greeted warmly and our order was promptly taken. The food was freshly and quickly prepared. It was the lamb platter. We paid and the owner gave us a sample of the chicken on their in house baked pita. Service is an A+++! The food was just as amazing! The lamb was finely cut and almost melted in your mouth. The salad was fresh and crisp. The rice was perfect. They did not skimp on the extremely delicious white sauce. Overall better than their competitors in food quality and service. The chicken sandwich, while only a sample, was pretty life changing in a good way. Overall highly recommend everyone try once and you'll keep coming back to this awesome experience! We will definitely be back soon! read more
