Always a great place to get platters from. I got the Half chicken and kofta with rice. I usually get it at dine-in but the take out presentation was just as beautiful and delicious ! read more

Tarboosh - food - Lebanese Near Me - Bayonne, New Jersey

Tarboosh is another hidden gem in Bayonne. I got the recommendation from a local store owner, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a fantastic spot for Middle Eastern and Mediterranean-style cuisine, offering delicious flavors and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit! read more

bad service, old food, bad lighting inside. looked inside the kitchen and everything looked dirty and unorganized.

Decent Halah Lebanese food! We ordered Lamb kabah plates for 2. Cheese dish, Lental soup and Fattah salad. It's my first dined there with my partner after living here about 2 years. He has worked in Lebanon for a few years. He said this is authentic. Make sure to get the Lazia soft drink- pomegranate flavor! The service and ambience meets the standard. read more

This is purely based on on delivery order, it seems it is totally different experience while dining in. My shawarma dish was ok but came without salad. Gaelic sauce is juts insipid, definitely lacking acidity of any sort. Biggest disappointment was side of large hot sauce. I was expecting some authentic Lebanese hot sauce instead I got big container of franks hot sauce. I may give it another shot but only dining in. read more

Tried Tarboosh a weeks ago. We got the Lamb Shish Kabob Platter & the Chicken Shawarma Platter. Everything was so subtly yet beautifully spiced. It came with extra pita bread in a basket for us to share. We also asked for extra garlic sauce. I had this lovely drink from here which I forgot to click a picture of - Licorice Iced Tea - it was red in color and had a nice refreshing taste. I didn't get the "authentic" Lebanese taste though. The service is good, but food took a lot of time despite not being crowded. Pita, garlic sauce everything came towards the end of our meal. Like - we couldn't really enjoy everything together because of these minor delays. Over all, the food is good and a place I would definitely visit again. read more

They clearly hate women, and are super disrespectful. They have 1-2 people working in there slow as hell, and left my food sitting on the counter for 5 mins before I requested my food get bagged. Forbid I speak up they started spitefully taking longer, and pretending they don't speak English. Like actually pretending and laughing about it. A shit place with shit service and pompous men. Also they forgot my shake, and I'm not even going back to get it cause the energy was horrible. read more

My fiancé and I have ordered from here regularly for 2 years. It is always excellent service and food! Great portions for reasonable price read more

Tarboosh - Cheese Burger, Lamb Gyro Bowl - Lebanese Near Me - Bayonne, New Jersey

Visiting the area on vacation and decided to try out something different! Was absolutely blown away with how good the food was! Service was amazing as the gentleman behind the counter making milkshakes brought us over the shakes and the leftover amount that was normally pitched. Shakes were amazing as well as the food! Must try if you're in the area! read more

Amazing food! My second time having Lebanese food and it was great. Would definitely come back again! read more

Hole in the wall. Inside decorated nicely. Dont expect a fanfare greeting. Seat yourself and scan the qr code for the menu. Everything we ordered was bomb with the exception of the pita. I like to think its made in house and toasted but this seemed like it came from a pack. Falafel was crisp and fresh, the lentil cakes were a bit tough but delish. Hummus with beef was a star as was the sampler. The lebneh was fire. I would come here again for a lamb gyro bowl or shrimp. Waitress was friendly. An adorable kid cleaned our table. If i lived closed id be here every day chowing down. Will def return read more

We ordered falafel with salad, Baba ghanoush, baklava and a type of cous cous dessert (not pictured.) While we waited we admired the restaurant. The decor was beautiful. The table covers were colorful and the lights were cute. Most of the time that I was distracted I was watching the music videos that were playing during my stay- fun stuff. Now it's hard to comment on the food when all we had were appetizers/sides but the food was good. The desserts and Baba ghanoush were from the fridge. We'll go back and try out their entrees. read more

Tarboosh - Falafel with salad, pita, and Baba ghanoush - Lebanese Near Me - Bayonne, New Jersey

Delicious food & friendly staff, I'm so glad they opened! We went on Saturday evening at 7:30. My husband, mother-in-law and my daughter all went. Most of the tables were full and a large family were seated near the window, so the place looked like it's already catching on. We ordered our dinners: I had lamb kebabs, my husband had the okra lamb stew, my mother-in-law had eggplant salad and my daughter had chicken shawarma. Everything was great, although I'll admit I didn't try my husband's okra, I'm not an okra fan. The owner, a lovely woman, came out and gave us all her lentil soup to try. OMG, so delicious! It was nothing like traditional Italian or American lentil soup. Instead, it was pureed lentil soup that was deliciously seasoned. I was in love with it. Her son was our server and he might need a *little* coaching on how to read a table's wants, but all in all it was a great night and we definitely plan on returning very soon. I hope they are successful with this venture because Bayonne needs a place like this. read more

Went in about 2 weeks ago and ordered the grilled branzino. To my surprise they didn't clean it and then said that is how they eat the fish. Taken aback as I've never had uncleanness fish. I'll pass read more

Good start to a grand opening! Came here on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm. The sign said Grand Opening but the store was fairly empty. There was a photographer taking photos of the food in one corner and no one really sitting down to eat. We picked a table and were the only ones seated (some people were coming in and out for take-out). Waiter came to order drinks. I do have to say I subtracted a star because of service. He seemed VERY new and though we had patience for him, he just wasn't very good. He never thought to serve us tap water (we asked twice.. he tried giving us bottled water, but we didn't want that). When we ordered hummus we weren't given small plates. Our overall experience took 2 hours.. he forgot one order (lamb shawarma and not chicken)... service I expect to improve, but he was clearly frazzled and we were the only ones seated! We ordered hummus, mixed meat shawarma, lamb shawarma platter, and grilled salmon platter. The food is a 4.5/5. The hummus is one of the best I've ever had! Very fresh and delicious. The shawarmas were good but the lamb was a little mushy. I preferred the chicken. The salmon was the star of the day! It had this amazing dry rub and was just perfectly cooked! It was served with tabbouleh salad and rice. For $16 pretty reasonable!! A lady we assumed was the owner came by to ask us how everything was.. she was very sweet and we had a pleasant experience. Overall great addition to Bayonne! read more

The KOFTA meat was off. I mean it tasted off and was rubbery which meant it was not fresh meat or the skewer meat was prepared and had sat for awhile. It didnt taste fresh. LAMB stew was good. RICE Meh. SALAD okay. Felt like FAST FOOD at EXPENSIVE PRICES for the quality. Needs an overhaul fast! read more

The chicken shawarma here is fabulous. Not a dessert person but the pistachio baklava it's fantastic. The true gem here is the people. The kindest people you can meet. Warm and gracious hosts. Mo abd Yusef are the owners and I don't know if the planet has two nicer people. Go see them. They will make your day better and you will get a legit meal at a fair price read more

Went there for lunch, the owner was working the front and is an absolute delight. Got a Lamb Sandwich and some of their Lemon Mint drink. Was very affordable and will definitely be getting it often from here on. read more

We ordered half a roasted chicken, baba ghanoush and baklava. The chicken was favorable and good. The baba ghanoush was good ton average. The baklava had too much Pasteur and not enough nuts but then again, I'm not big in baklava unless it really juicy ( I'm particular about baklava). All in all, I'd definitely come here again for the chicken and would be interested in trying other dishes. read more

The food was alright. If I had to compare it to other more well known middle eastern franchises, I would say this was lower quality. The food was fair, but not amazing. My lamb was a bit underdone and chewy. read more

After we saw the raving reviews, we seconded to give this place a try. Not sure about these other people. But this place is by far the worst. When we first opened the menu there was a little bug there to welcome us. We ordered the shishtaouk and the chicken shawarma both with rice. Some of the chunks of chicken from the Shish taouk were rubbery and pink. (We have a video). The chicken shawarma is where things get worse, the chicken was extremely undercooked and had the strongest stench. It reeked of raw chicken and just had a rankness to it. One bite and I had to give it up, gag worthy. Upon addressing the stench to the manager, she had the biggest attitude and rather than just dealing with the issue professionally, she tried to pin it on us saying "no other customer has complained so far today". I don't see this place lasting very long, terrible food + even worst management = disaster. On a side note the waitress was very pleasant and kind. read more

Tarboosh - Lebanese Near Me - Bayonne, New Jersey

Waited over an hour and a half, delivery never arrived and restaurant takes forever to answer the phone. Will not order again.

We ordered here on NYE with Ubereats. It was great!! I had the vegetarian platter. The hummus is so smooth and tasty. Everyone else loved their meat dishes including kofta, chicken and lamb shwarma. Falafels were delicious. I snuck one or two for breakfast the next day. Ya know, for the hangover. read more

By far the WORST customer service in the world. Not to mention the food is not authentic at all. That I can get by but after the service we received when asking why the shawarmas didn't come with anything inside besides the meat we get nasty attitudes in return. Food was delivered and the owner said he would not come back for them but we had to return them ourselves. Once we get there owner made us wait and then after we explain that the sandwich came with nothing and they usually do he said we called him a liar and he won't be fixing the sandwiches. Literally the worst interaction I've ever had with an owner or restaurant in general. 1 thing for food not to be authentic but even worse when the customer service doesn't exist at all. Smh never again. read more

Horrible service, first of all pickup the phone on top of that u didn't even deliver I had to cancel it thru grub hub ,never ordering here again. read more

This is great place to get middle eastern food. Wait time is long but to make fresh foods it's okay. I love the service here and I will definitely come back more and more read more

I got the mixed meat platter and mixed veggie platter. Lamb, chicken, falafel, grape leaves, rice etc etc. My order contained it all. While the food was well prepared, it lacked flavor. For that reason, I won't be ordering again. Large portions though! read more

My fiancé and I wanted something different tonight and decided to try tarboosh and boy are we glad we went out of our comfort zone and did it the customer service was excellent and the food was very very good this will definitely be a new spot of ours 10/10 Recommend!!! read more

I love this place! The food is so tasty and seasoned to perfection-- not overpowering, not flavorless. It is just perfect. My only complaint are the semi-small portions and semi-hard vegetables included with the mini mixed grill. I did ask that the veggies be steamed longer and they obliged and ensured that the veggies were softer the next time I ordered the mini mixed grill. I would recommend this place to anyone! No photos because I always inhale my food before I remember to snap a photo. Yes, it is that good. read more

Usually pretty good, and our favorite of the options in the area. Delivery time can be quick or reallllyyyy long, and the salads used to be a little bigger but we do order from here consistently and don't ever regret it. read more

Everything was mediocre- bad, food is not fresh. I ordered a few things, including okra-lamb stew which never came (I called an asked for refund].. but that was probably a blessing in disguise. Kibba was gross, inedible, old and soggy. Chicken kebab was bland, no grill flavor. Kofta was decent but dry. Even the rice pooding was disappointing. I think they just microave everything out of the freezer. I only enjoyed the fries that's about it, and even that I had to add salt+pepper. I guess there are still no Lebanese restaurants in bayonne. read more

Actually, I have been trying this restaurant​ many times. in the beginning​, it was great. Then, I tried it twice. The food was horrible and the people not friendly​ at all. I wish they improved in the future read more

Was looking forward to eating here because I am half Egyptian and we don't have many middle eastern restaurants. The food was fine however my okra with lamb was luke warm. My sister ordered the lamb shawarma and she liked it. The lentil soup was piping hot and actually very tasty. We went in with my nephew who is 9 months old and naturally as babies do started fussing so we had to run out. When I asked for the check the ladies behind the counter blatantly ignored me. They didn't seem very interested in our needs and the waiter had just disappeared. Overall the service was not great and my meal was luke warm. read more

Got a chicken shawarma sandwich, it was loaded with lettuce and tomatoes and chicken at the bottom. Also ordered some plain hummus, which was delicious and fresh with fresh pita, and got some macaroni bechamel and I was very worried going into it cause macaroni from a halal place can be very different. It was more pasta than macaroni but it was still delicious! I will definitely be back again! Oh yeah and I got this which fed 2 people for $16. It's definitely a 4 star rating at this price point! read more

I ordered a delicious variety of combo meals and a large container of the best homemade hummus around! and....I brought it right down to the jersey shore to start our vacation! Thank you Jimmy! read more

Horrible place. I ordered from there mixed grill. Chicken was raw, ground beef kifta undercooked . Rice and bread were microwaved.

There was no sauce with my mixed grill. I have never had to order sauce separately at similar. I called and the person on the phone said I needed to order it separately. I see all the pictures online and see sauce comes on the side in a little cup. I can't believe every single person in the pictures would have ordered this sauce separately. Not friendly and not sure this is the truth. Now I have to eat dry meat and dry pita. Make sure you order your sauce separately if you want to try this place. All my food is dry but this is probably with or without sauce... read more
