I know there's a million Halal spots popping up, and I will admit I'm very, very picky when it comes to platters. I miss the good ol' days on 53rd street in NYC... I came by around 10pm and was served quickly by a friendly employee. They have platters, burgers, wraps, wings, chicken tenders, fries, etc. I ordered the chicken rice platter (~$13.50). They cook the meat fresh on the grill and then you choose your toppings at the salad bar (olives, onions, peppers, tomatoes, etc.). It's a bit pricier than other places, but the portion size is huge. The container felt HEAVY lol. It's just a shame it went to waste because I really didn't enjoy the food. I only finished about half of it before I tossed the rest. The white sauce was almost flavorless and was VERY watery. The chicken wasn't as well-seasoned. No distinct spices or aroma. Every bite left me with a very greasy and salty taste in my mouth. The side salad was just okay. I was disappointed. The only saving grace was the rice... it was fluffy and the best part of the whole platter. Not sure if I came on an off night or...? Don't let my review stop you from trying. It might just not be the Halal spot for me.

wow. MY FIRST TIME HERE. I called for pick up and said just…read moregive me the best thing. And the guy was like I GOTCHU. 5 minutes and it's ready. (He got me a mixed platter) The portion size is big enough for SHREK. The price was perfect for a gambling degenerate like myself. Don't think twice, just go. This is definitely a place to bring your side piece... your main girl will never know. Unless your main girl is a TJ MAXX shopper, that's right across the street, in that case be cautious taking your side piece here.

Everything is always seasoned and cooked to perfection. Portions are large enough to share or better yet, don't share and have leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Know before you go- it's a BYO. If you have to wait for a table ( usually not a long wait) standing there while starving and smelling fire, smoke and meat is torture, but you'll appreciate your meal even more. Also when it's closing time, it's closing time. They're not shy about letting you know it's time to leave. Not rude at all but not the place to linger after hours. All in all, a terrific dining experience, part of my regular rotation.

I don't drink, but love that they are byob and I can tell a lot of the other customers enjoyed that too. They start you off with bread and butter and some olives. Ordered half chicken, sweet potato fries, and full rack of baby back ribs - takes 45 mins but was worth the wait. Loved every bite I had. Ofc had to have some bites with their bbq and spicy sauce. Service was great too! I'll definitely be back here.

*TooGood2Go Review*…read more I only see this spot on the app once in a while and since it was a place I had bookmarked already, I jumped on the chance when it popped up on TooGood2Go. For this order, we received some stewed curry chicken with rice and peas. The chicken was kind of dry. I'm not sure if it's an end of the day thing, or that's just how their chicken is. I guess there was a reason why there was still some left at the end of the day. I'd still come back to try their gyros and jerk chicken, which is what I originally wanted to try and was hoping to get. Maybe those dishes will be better.

Easily will be back to try the other menu items.

Which was a bit of a shock at first but honestly as parents of a 2 year old, we welcomed the silent room (besides the Lebanese music). Ordered the dinner for 2, the cucumber yogurt dip, and a mint tea. We were so happy with this place. The ladies working were so sweet and everything came out quickly and fresh off the grill! Let me also point out that the grill master was a woman. Awesome. Can't wait to go back again for a casual night and BYOB next time. Just curious why the place was empty! And we didn't see one person come in to pickup takeout. What's the deal?

The Bosphorus, the 32-kilometer (20-mile)-long north-south strait, has been a waterway of the…read morehighest importance since ancient times in Turkey. Its English name comes from a Greek legend: Zeus had an affair with a beautiful woman named Io. When Hera, his wife, discovered his infidelity, she turned Io into a cow and created a horsefly to sting her on the rump. Io jumped clear across the strait. Thus, "bous" = "cow" and "poros" = "crossing place": Bosphorus = "crossing place of the cow." Located off of busy Franklin Avenue in Nutley, my partner, our friends, and I have decided on our dinner at this family-owned-and-run BYOB establishment, which has been open since 1995. A reservation was made for a party of 4 by calling their restaurant. Upon arrival after three years, we were welcomed by Nora, the owner, and made our way to a table by the piano inside, evoking a cozy, thoughtfully designed, upscale vibe with music playing softly. Their menu features Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. For starters, we decided on the Puffed Rill Pastry and Grape Leaves. Our main meal consisted of all lamb dishes (Lamb Shish Kebab, Beyti Kebab, Lamb Chops, and Lamb Sauté). Our food was fresh, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection, accompanied by a beautifully presented dish. Everything was authentically made with love here. Wish we could have stayed for dessert, as they looked amazing, but some of us were in a rush. It's definitely on the higher end cost but worth the taste. Our visit ended with a hug and a piece of candy.

Crêpes are an ultra-thin pancake common in France that can be made sweet or savory, typically rolled or folded with a variety of fillings from jam or Nutella to ham and cheese or fruits. They can be eaten for breakfast, dinner, brunch, dessert, or even a snack. Situated on Riverside Avenue in Lyndhurst, this cozy, simple hidden gem establishment offers an array of healthy options on their diverse menu, to which my partner and I returned after 8 years. Upon entering 3rd Wave Cafe, we were able to get a booth along the wall in an upbeat, casual vibe as the music was playing throughout. We decided on the Tropical Crêpe and Avocado BLT Wrap. I started with a French iced coffee that was really strong and served in a glass mug. The crêpe was fluffy, and the texture was great. I could tell all the fruit in it was fresh because it was sweet. The crepe was decorated nicely with a Nutella drizzle and whipped cream dollops that made it visually pleasing. The food, on top of being good-tasting, had a great presentation. The price was reasonable and the portion a healthy size. The service was friendly and not rushed; our server was Am. We left feeling satisfied and content, and we can recommend returning to explore other menu items.

Place was very clean as well and has some stool seating.

Delicious. Great, authentic white sauce and hot sauces. I've had horror experiences in other places. So, I can vouch that this establishment is true to the T. I also added two falafel balls for $0.99 to my plate and I feel it was worth it. I love Falafel and though this wasn't the best, this was pretty good for a simple dollar. I will definitely be ordering again and I look forward to keeping a great review coming.
