Great place, the food was great. The hospitality was excellent, respectful and welcoming staff. The chicken was cooked to my liking, the Mulkhaie was delicious, and the lamb Salam kabob was great. We will definitely stop here when we are visiting the area. read more

If you love food and Hookah, this is the spot to go to!! The Hookah is smooth and lasting. Food was great, meats were seasoned and cooked well paired with rice, salad, and other options. Big bonus is that they are open late and their prices are reasonable. So far it is on the cheaper end for hookah! read more

Went here for a late night Shawerma sandwich. I had the chicken Shawerma and it was pretty good. This was my first time here. We weren't smoking hookah so we sat in the front room near the entrance so I do not know what the back room looks like. The service was good. They were very nice to be able to still make us food every though we got there when they finished serving food. read more

Be careful there is a hidden 20% service charge. I was not informed about this fee anywhere before ordering it wasn't on the menu, not on signage, and no one mentioned it. It only showed up on the receipt after the order was placed. That's not transparency, that's misleading pricing. I don't mind paying for service, but customers should be told upfront. Adding a mandatory charge without disclosure is not okay. Check your bill before you pay. read more

The food is yummy and the service is kind. Don't be in a rush type mindset this is a chill and wait home/humble kinda vibe with a back area for sheesha/hookah food/tea and I was able to watch the ufc fights. The front area is an updated casual eating area if u don't want to be around the sheesha/hookah or to go that has been recently remodeled. I've been there twice I had the char grilled burger and mixed shawerma with salad both hit the spot. Salad wasn't cold which is great bc I don't like cold salad it was room temp, fresh, and well seasoned. The food is halal which makes me happy. Pricing is very reasonable. read more

Been here a bunch of times. The food is great, the shisha is also really good. The wait staff is better than most restaurants in Paterson lol. If u sit in the back it's a bit more spacious than the front. There's also outside seating. read more

Great service, food, and atmosphere. Highly recommend for any occasion. Hookah was also phenomenal.

It's the worst food ever. Don't go there , the food is super old. We couldn't finish the plate and wasted $50 on that horrible meal

Hookah and the food is amazing. One of the fairest prices for the hookah and food I've seen in a while in this area too. Ordered the mix platter dish and a orange mint, both were on point. This is my new go to spot when I'm NJ for hookah. Will definitely be back again. read more

I ad an extremely tasty and large portion chicken shawarma with a mixed salad. The chicken was great. Crispy skin, flavorful, and moist. I would definitely go back next time I am in the area. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars was that it seemed I had some difficulty understanding and being understood. Yet, it came out exactly as ordered. One picture is worth 1000 taste sensations! read more

Extremely nice kabab. Both chicken and lamb. Lamb chops are extremely well seasoned. To go option is also very nice. We ordered food to go and it all came in 15 minutes. We ordered lamb chops, chicken kebab and few other dishes. Reason for less than 5 stars is due to seating area. When you sit the seats wobble. That is if you can find seating. So a bit difficult to really enjoy your food if you have a large group. But the food is amazing! read more

This was my first time ordering from this restaurant. The customer service is good. The prices for the portions you receive are really good too. The lamb chops and salad I ordered came packed in the same plate. Usually when I order from restaurants the lamb chops and salad are in different plates so the salad doesn't get soggy. The lamb chops and salad were just okay. I was also disappointed the restaurant didn't have any dessert as a result I couldn't taste the baklava. However, the chicken shawarma sandwich is delicious. The sandwich is well seasoned and so are the fries. I like that the chicken inside the shawarma sandwich was cut into little pieces. This is definitely what you should order if it's your first time at this restaurant. read more

Overall I'd give a 4.5/5 stars. The food was good, we ordered a family platter for $125. It filled 5 people's stomachs. The rice in the family platter wasn't that good, the chicken was indeed a little bit dry. The shawarma and others were nice so we're the lamb chops. The customer service was awesome, they were very understanding and helpful. The ambiance was a little off though, there were flies and dead flies and a couple of mosquitoes. The forks and knives were a little bit stained but it was fine. read more

Saj Palestine - Family platter, lamb chops, and some veggie thing which was nice - Lebanese Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

Terrible service. Bad food, it was overcooked and over seasoned. Overpriced. All the menu price were wrong. When we went to pay, we were told 'they didn't have time to update the menu prices'. if it is a matter of not printing new menus, they could have taped a white paper over the old price and write in the new price. We were also charged for drinks we never received. I am really not the type to complain, but this place was really that bad. I will never come here again. read more

Excellent food! Extremely tasty and flavorful. First time ordering from here. Did not expect the food to look so pretty! The pasta was delicious as much as the chicken was. read more

This was a birthday that I will never forget. I have so many good things to say. Where do I start? Let's start off by talking about the awesome service I got from our waitress whose name was Sylvia. I hope I got that right. Someone gave her a raise. She was so awesome with us and really took care of us. She even knew a little bit of Arabic and she knew a lot of Spanish. And those are the languages the people at the table spoke. She made is so comfortable and happy. She also did a great job of suggesting what we should order and she even customize it by putting all of our orders on one big tree or platter. The order looks so beautiful. I would definitely come here again. You get a great mix of good food and awesome night life. I love this food and I can eat it all day. I am pretty picky about Lebanese food and I must say that they did a great job. Shout out to the cooking staff and shout out to the waiting staff as well. read more

horrible food and plating. Very rude, we asked for Saj Mix Grill, it came with left over chicken. the people refused to change the plate for us amd just gave us our money back saying here is your F***ing money back. stay the hell away from this place, surprised why the health department is yet to close this place down. read more

Nice Shwarma! The rice was moist and tasty as well. The Kibbie was crispy but oily. The meat inside was flavorful and the garlic sauce was good. But the oil taste overwhelmed it. read more

This is a nice restaurant/ hookah lounge in Paterson that I greatly enjoyed due to the most amazing service and yummy food. I visited based on my friend's recommendation and I was not disappointed. I got chicken shawarma and French fries and they all tasted good. My favorite, the seasoning in the French fries, I couldn't stop eating. The hookah was good, it didn't burnt out quickly and the flavor was strong. The waiter was very prompt in changing the coals when needed. The waiter was awesome, always prompt to response to any questions or orders, gave us his opinion on the menu options and the food came out quickly. There are two floors, the lower floor, was comfortable with nice decoration and music in the background. It gave a laid back ambiance which I greatly enjoyed. Will definitely be visiting when I'm in the area again. read more

Okay. I cannot explain how good this place is. The tabbouleh, hummus, kufteh keshek, cheese tushke, kebbeh, ... Everything is spot on. A taste of home... If you're from the middle east, this is next level... Would give 10 stars if I could. Definitely have to come back read more

We went there for a quick snack of Falafel. The place is a bona fide hookah bar so other customers were smoking inside, too. That was strange sight to see in a while. The falafel was toasted from the outside and made in a think flatbread like an egg roll. It was smaller than a Falafel in a pita would be but contained some marinated vegetables, falafel and salad. It was OK in taste and the price was $5 which was not bad, either. Will have to explore this are for a proper falafel place. read more

Best Arabic spot in Paterson! Love their food how fresh it is. Can't wait for the summer for their outdoor patio. I would like to see more friendly staff for us non middle eastern people. All 4 times I been there these ladies are super dry ; no connection whatsoever read more

I think their chicken shawarma sandwich is awesome! But everything else is just ok from my take out experience. I would like to give thEm a try to dine in bUt the place always looks empty. For now, I will continue picking up my shawarma sandwich to go. read more

Second time coming here and the first time was amazing food was delicious, hummus is on point!! But tonight the food was saltier then the salute Splatoon. The shawarma was like taking a whole container of salt and pouring it on it and my friend ordered a mix platter which I don't blame the kid he looked super nervous serving maybe his first time but took over an hour to get but eventually we got it honestly I give you guy five stars but tonight the food was not edible. read more

I'm so happy with this new place, there food is so good (and I'm critical when it comes to Arabic food). I highly recommend their shawarma and fries, and their tabbouleh. Their hookahs are also great and I consistently get a great hookah made every time I come. The staff is also so friendly and accommodating. Our server, Carlos is amazing, very attentive and kind. I honestly don't leave many reviews unless I really like a place, and I hope they are here for a while and keep up the same high standards for food and service. read more

Terrible service. Messed up our order. and snatched card to pay and then slammed it on table.

My fav Greek salad! Sometimes I'll get the shish tawook with the salad but recently I've been getting shrimp and the salad, it's sooo good. Before Covid I used to come here for hookah as well and that was also really nice, great bowl packs! read more

This place is a hidden gem! Loved their food - their shawarma wraps are to die for. Was visiting family in NJ & wanted to see what all the fuss about this place was about - experienced it and must say- it's definitely worth all the fuss!!!! One of the best Lebanese food places I've had. Quality was above average but the taste was a hit!! I'd definitely go back & recommend this to a friend who loves meat, Mediterranean food and is traveling to east coast. The restaurant is not fancy, just a fast food place - something simple & in the middle of a busy street. I'd rather prefer "to go " than dining in, service was friendly and fast. Parking was a tad of a challenge, we had to walk further down the street to get to our vehicle. Washrooms were clean , overall the taste of their food overpowered everything else. In my opinion they're a solid 5! /) Don't take my word for it, go try them yourselves . read more

Standard Lebanese fare. We got the hummus, babaganoush, foul , kibbeh balls, mixed grill with rice and beef shawarma with fries. The hummus was the right consistency, garnished with chickpeas in olive oil and sumac but had a heavy tahini aftertaste. The babaganoush was fresh and you could smell the smoky flavor. The beans in the foul were cooked well to the point they were almost melting to the touch and were generously coated with extra virgin olive oil. It was our first time tasting kibbeh so we had no reference point to compare but the meat filling was flavorful with strong tastes of cinnamon and onion and it was piping hot. The rice that came with the mixed grill was very tasty and a bright yellow from turmeric. The mixed grill was okay as we could not taste much seasoning in the meat. The beef shawarma was a disappointment as the bread was not holding the meat together. Also, the meat was not well seasoned and did not have a char from being cooked on a spit. The fries had a dusting of seasoning on them and we wished there was more of it as it was very tasty. The toum (garlic sauce) came with the shawarma and kibbeh and tasted on point. All the dishes were packed and presented very well. The staff does not always wear masks and be prepared to wait a while for your order. We tried to order muhammara but the lady taking the order was confused about it even though we showed her a picture from the website. Also, they open at 12:00 pm for lunch and not 11:00 am as the Google listing suggests. read more

Would recommend for everything from dinner with family to quick takeout. Excellent kofta kebab, shawarma with fries and Saj mix. Always welcoming, polite and quick service. read more

Super tasty food and good size portions. Great pricing as well and good variety on menu. The only issue we had with the food was the garlic sauce did not taste traditional ( probably a different style that we never had before ). They have some good platter combinations as well and dinner / hookah seating separate which was good. The only issue was parking ( parking in Paterson can be difficult - so you may have to drive around a little bit until you find a decent spot but be sure to read the signs ). Definitely recommend if you are in the area. read more
