I used to be a regular at Djura when they parked at 50 Columbus. They were my no-cook day fix, drinking fix and in general one of the best in the city (value for money!) fries and falafel over rice. The service is pretty prompt, and the owner/cooks are very friendly! (Infact, they always addressed my friends and me with a - "My friend" greeting!) Jersey city asking them to move towards exchange place has reduced my frequency to them, but for anyone in the area I would recommend them 10/10 (support a small family business!! Especially for such a lovely taste) read more

The best of best-- ever since 2019. The quality of food and the service is amazing as usual. The chicken over rice is the best halal I've ever had. It's always my top #1 recommendation to my friends. I moved but I would still drive an hour for Djura!! read more

Came here around 11:45 pm because another truck was closed. We got two lamb rice and one chicken, each plate was $10. The meat was flavorful and tender for each dish and they did not skimp on the meat either. The rice was a well seasoned, heaping portion and the white and red sauces were perfect on top. Overall a great late night spot for yummy, filling, inexpensive food! read more

Left my friends place in downtown JC super late and decided to stop by this food truck and I'm glad I did! My boyfriend and I ordered the chicken over rice and asked for extra red and white sauce on the side. Probably the best chicken over rice I've had in jersey, tastes exactly like the food trucks in the city! The chicken was juicy and tender and the red sauce was super spicy which I loved. read more

Djura Grill - Combo Over Rice - Halal Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I was at the CVS on Morgan Street getting my flu shot and we were walking back to our apartment when X suggested we get halal since there are a few carts along the way. Djura Grill had the best reviews online, so we went with it. The owner is super friendly and very nice. We both got the lamb over rice, small size. It was great. I had asked for extra white sauce and he SLATHERED it in white sauce. Amazing. Prices are fair and I really enjoyed my halal. It's great to know that there are good spots in JC now that I'm not really in Manhattan as often anymore. read more

What a pleasant experience! It was a little after 10pm when my boyfriend and I arrived. I had been craving chicken over rice and he as a vegetarian always gravitates towards the falafel pita. Both items did not disappoint! The owner was so kind and we ended up chatting as he prepared the meal. The food was awesome and we both got extra red and white sauce of course. Safe to say we were satisfied after having this meal and we would definitely go back and visit again. Please see my IG reel for images of our dishes!

Good halal food! Got their lamb over rice ($7). The lamb is incredibly flavorful and tender. The lamb meat came with onions and peppers (optional). Served over yellow rice and small salad. All the ingredients tasted fresh. Topped with white and spicy sauce on request and you can ask for more if you're a white sauce fan like me. Opens from 4pm to 2am in front of 50 Columbus dr. They accept credit card. read more

I always love going to the Djura Grill! My boyfriend and I discovered this food truck last year when we were stepping out to enjoy summer even through the pandemic. We had parked by the Djura Grill and wanted something to eat at the Waterfront in Downtown Jersey City, and we found this holy grail. They are always so friendly with the customers, it takes about 10-15 minutes to make your platter and it tastes great! They always ask the clients how they want to customize their platter by adding a certain amount of white sauce and adjusting the spicy level. They have a small menu, but they do have French fries and veggie burgers for those who don't eat meat! Just an FYI! It's always my go-to whenever we have a Waterfront date. There are other halal carts closer to the Waterfront, but their portion sizes, the taste, and the customer service are unlike Djura Grill! read more

Djura Grill - Combo (chicken and lamb) over rice with diced tomatoes, sliced cucumber, lettuce, diced sautéed onions (hidden) - Halal Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I usually get chicken over salad and falafel from Djura grill and my food has always been fresh! I really like this food truck. Great food for a reasonable price. And the owner is such a friendly guy ! He will substitute rice for more chicken and salad, add extra sauce, and all with a smile :) If you like your food hot and spicy definitely try their hot sauce - it's packed with flavor and yes, it is hot ! One of the best food trucks in Jersey city hands down. Recommend this for dinner or even a late night snack read more

The food is great lovely cooked lamb and perfect on the vegetables and vegetarian options. The price is extremely good as well with a full hearty meal coming in less then just about any place around. Then the people who run it are simply divine always making the best food for the customers which has kept me coming back time and time again read more

I get djura's chicken/lamb platter at least once to twice a month. Affordable, delicious , guys who run it are welcoming and friendly. One of the best eats in JC/NY Metro area. Grab a platter, grab a drink, sit by the waterfront on a nice day. read more

I had the combination on rice today at a birthday party, Djura catered. Omg food is phenomenon! Food is really really good! Im having a hard time finding them on instagram and facebook to inquire about using them For catering too. But they are really good, food is super! read more

I ordered a side of Fries and a 7 pc order or Falafel. I have been here twice now with the same order and both times were fantastic. Service is top notch with incredibly friendly people working inside. Fries are great and i got them done well done both times. Falafel is some of the best i've had in a while. Thick and filling pieces full of flavor! I recommend the white sauce and hot sauce for anything you get. Will go back next time I see them and I'm hungry. read more

The Djura Grill Food Truck is my favorite halal platter in Jersey City! I saw food trucks in this location on Columbus Drive for years now and finally decided to give Djuara a try a month back after a night out catching up with a friend. At the time, the food was delicious. For those trying to find a replica of patters in New York City, none of the places I visited outside of the City compare including Djura, but it's the best I've tried in Jersey City/ North Jersey area outside of Juicy Platters in Bergen County. I ordered the Falafel Platter with Rice and extra White/ Hot Sauces ($7). The platter was hot and made before us and the rice was fresh as well. The falafels were decent and also tasted good. The staff really do drench your platter with white sauce when you ask for extra, which is great! The staff here is extremely nice and helpful with the menu. I was also surprised when they picked up my phone call when I called to ask if they were open. Overall, great platters place outside of the City if you're out late or just craving platters, I would definitely hit up Djuara! read more

One of my favorite food trucks in JC! I have a huge soft spot for their falafel and the sandwiches were always on point. I've always received hot, tasty food and it seems especially clean. Bonus points - late night hours. The dude running the truck is friendly and has a sense of humor about my fear of too much red sauce. read more

I went after a long long day at work. I got the salmon over rice and it was very delicious. The salmon was soft and buttery, rice was perfect with the salad. Man I want to go back right now. If i lived close, that would be my everyday spot. Can't beat it for $10, your not gonna find any salmon for that price let alone a whole dinner. read more

Djura Grill - Salmon over rice - Halal Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I'm definitely breaking my own rule of waiting at least twice to visit somewhere before reviewing, but I just can't do it. I came to this food truck a few nights ago and haven't stopped thinking about it since. It could've been the fact that it was midnight on a Saturday and I was the only one willing to take the half mile walk to get here. It felt like a journey, avoiding stumbling drunks on Newark Ave, traversing the plane that we refer to as the Grove St. Path with it's flooding gates of people, before finally reaching Columbus Blvd. And there is it was, off in the distance. Not the closest truck to me but well within view. I got closer and closer and found my sanctuary. This was no fancy food truck on wheels. It was a nice, clean truck with signs of food w/attached prices, a typed up paper giving the price of hot dogs: $2/dog or 3 for $5, drinks on display w/two guys speaking in a non-English language to one another. I was overwhelmed with choices. I knew I wanted a gyro and the craving for the fries was also incredibly real well before I got here. And my girlfriend said she wouldn't hate it if I brought back some falafel. So that was that. I was helped by an incredibly, friendly man who was taking orders and manning the kitchen. I asked for a lamb gyro, order of fries, falafel platter and 2 cokes. Not a minute or two went by after he asked me if I would like fried peppers and onions on my gryo - very nice touch, sir. I waited several more minutes while a few others who had ordered before me received their food. My anticipation rose. Finally, it was ready. My man then asked me how much lettuce, tomato and cucumber I would like along with how much hot sauce and white sauce. Let's talk about this white sauce. Halal food is not complete without it. If you haven't tried it. You haven't lived. And you will undoubtably ask for extra, which is just what I did. Again, my man hooked me up. The grand total came to $17 plus a well-deserved tip. I scurried home and tore open my food like a savage animal. Holy cow, err lamb! This was good! The gyro is definitely the best I've had in recent memory and quite possibly the best I've ever had. The fries were the thick cut steak kind and were still super hot. The falafel was also nothing to sneeze about and my girlfriend loved the salad even though she said she wasn't hungry. Oh and the white sauce? It was oh so delicious. So you probably got more than you bargained for after reading my review. Sometimes I ramble but I also found it necessary. After all, I do need to get my point across that these guys are great. So great that they are open 4pm-4am every day and guess what?! They deliver via Uber Eats. So now you really don't have a reason not to go. I'm gonna go daydream some more about this truck. Byeeee read more

Located across the Chase bank on Columbus is the best Halal truck in Jersey City. As a matter of fact I pass by many great Halal trucks on my commute home from Manhattan, but somehow end up here time and time again. What are the pros? - fresh and clean (seriously) - SUPER nice guys - Generous portions - good quality ingredients I usually get mixed plate with lamb and chicken. White sauce and BBQ. I'll be back again soon. read more

Ok, I tried this cart for the first time and their Salmon over Rice was pretty awesome. The fish was fresh and the rice had the right flavor. And they also do Uber Eats which is a great alternative to have if you live a little further away from where they park the cart. Great food. Friendly staff. read more

The food at Djura is phenomenal. My wife and I first tried the chicken over rice and their falafel last week and returned three times already! They prepare your orders quickly with fresh ingredients. The falafel is so crispy and flavorful. The chicken over rice is served in generous portion and tastes amazing. The best part is how kind and friendly the owner, Karib (forgive me for misspelling) is. He always greets you with kindness and remembers you when you return. Overall, an amazing experience. read more

Exceptional street meat that proves that not all the best halal trucks are in the city. Grade A chicken, lettuce that isn't iceberg, and yogurt sauce that tastes homemade ensures that this is my late night hero (since they're only around at nights). read more

Nothing special. Just another CoR type truck with no flavor in the rice or the meats. The lunch carts at the intersection of CC drive & Hudson st beat this one by 10x margin any day. Just get an order for dinner during lunch hours from those carts if you live/work in that area. read more

I got the combo on rice and it was okay. The price was cheaper than the other nearby halal carts but the taste wasn't anything special. It had less flavor than the majority of halal carts I've tried. It still wasn't bad but it definitely wasn't great. read more

If you see Djura Grill in it's location you have to get it cooked right in front of you and tastes amazing everything is basically new Chicken over Rice is the best If i'm passing by and i'm really hungry i usually get a classic Chicken over Rice and You'll be full as they fill it up for 9 dollars it's worth it read more

Best Halal food in JC near the waterfront - but very very comparable to NYC trucks! I got the combo over rice and it was excellent. I also got fries which I put on top - will be my go to place for Halal food in JC read more

Djura Grill - Halal Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

For sure the best halal truck downtown! The chicken or combo over rice (or salad if you want) are greattt. Meat is yummy and everything tastes fresh. The dude is SO NICE. He'll call you "my friend" a million times and give you as much white sauce or hot sauce as you want, which if you like halal you know is very make-or-break. I think their hours at 4PM-midnight every day. Also only like $8 I think for a ton of food. Pass the other trucks and come to this one! read more

Amazing food everything is super fresh and the man who runs the truck is so nice! Definitely great for late night food

Awesome place. One of the best halal truck food. Both lamb and chicken was so fresh that it melted in the mouth. Burger patty could have been better but I would just ignore it for awesome Gyro and combo over rice. If you like fries, try theirs. Owner is super friendly guys and very nice. I am gonna try salmon over rice next time. read more

Djura Grill - Halal Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

A hidden gem in the clean (not mean) streets of downtown JC, this is one of the best options you'll find under the new age food genre of "chicken n rice" platters. I stick with the chicken and lamb platter with a healthy dose of veggies (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions) and a comfortable side of rice. And so far, have never had an issue with their food quality, everything tastes fresh. The guys in the truck are nothing short of upstanding gentlemen, always catering to folks' personal preferences with ingredients, pitas, and sauce quantity. And they always carry a smile, willing to strike up a conversation as they're cooking up your platter, gyro, or falafel. Also, I used to get my halal from Sahara "green truck", but since Djura "orange truck" has come to town over the last year or so, I've defected to the Djura promise land and you should too! Loving the food, loving the service! read more

I live in the building next to where these guys park their truck. Great food. Both guys are nice and makes delicious falafels for me.

Delicious food. Apparently they're not allowed to park near their original spot. They moved closer to exchange place. Open until 9pm

Rated 5 because it's the best halal food truck downtown. The cooks seem in good spirits, they go the extra mile like put some foil down for fries and poke a hole to let the steam out so they stay crispy, AND the food is more than decent. Well priced, consistent, and good... I've been to restaurants on town that fail to meet that bar. Would walk extra to go here rather than other trucks! read more

It is a blessing to have such a fine establishment outside my apartment building! The food is great and the guys in the truck are friendly! I'm not the only one that digs this place as there is often a line started in the evening. Don't hesitate and join the rest of us that enjoy this gem! read more
