    Not sure why this place came up first on Uber eats, but I wouldn't recommend. The chicken was really burnt... not what I was expecting...

This place offers up fantastic Mediterranean fare and is run by some of the nicest people around. When they saw my husband eyeing a platter of an interesting dessert, they offered us both small spoonfuls to sample (I don't remember what it was called, but it was coconutty and delicious). I adored the falafel platter, which was a behemoth serving of 6 falafels, freshly made hummus, tabbouleh, and pita. The falafels were freshly fried and had a lovely sprinkle of sesame seeds. Coupled with a smooth smear of homemade hummus, my eyes were fluttering shut as I ate. My husband's side of the table went similarly silent as he dug voraciously into his mixed shawarma sandwich. He especially appreciated how they toasted the wrapper, which was more like a lavash than a pita. Before we left, we got a baba ghanoush to go. Our jaws dropped when we saw the serving size. We're so used to getting tiny containers from other spots that this giant aluminum platter of eggplant spread - complete with a little pool of fresh olive oil drizzle and stack of warmed pita - had us stilled with shock. We appreciated the sides and variety of sauces that came with our meal. The small cups of mayo, tzatziki, and spicy sauce, along with olives, pepperocinis, and pickled radishes, really helped complete our meal. These small and thoughtful touches made this meal feel more like eating in someone's home kitchen rather than a restaurant. On that note - know that everything is made from scratch and to order, which means the food will take a little longer than you might expect from a fast casual spot. This sweet gem is located on a random street in Hackensack, and a bit hard to find if you're not looking for it because there isn't much to draw attention to it. There's a small parking lot right in front of the restaurant, making it easy to drop in for a quick meal or to-go order.

    I went to Pita Square and didn't get one square of pita. Seems silly, but it would have been the…read moreperfect addition for the meal. That's my only gripe though...the food is fresh and the service is good. Stopped in 40 minutes before close and they seemed to be wrapping up for the night. Sadly, they meant it would be a 15 minute wait for the chicken kabob. Opted for the chicken shawarma which was well cooked and quite tasty. The chicken was piled high on a bed of lettuce and I had cucumber sauce on top. You get two sides with the platter and there's some unique options to compliment your typical choices. The avocado hummus is a nice consistency and a good balance for the shawarma. I really wanted pickles, but likely wouldn't order them as an entire side.

    Good solid food for not a lot of money. I ordered a hummus dipping platter, which comes with some…read moresliced pita and an absolute VAT of hummus for like $7. Falafel balls are fragrant with spices, crunchy on the outside, and steamy and soft on the inside. Every bite brings out something new in your food. These guys make excellent hummus. It's silky smooth with a creamy taste. Another neat bonus is that they have all kinds of non alcoholic beverages in the cooler for you to try with your meal. These aren't your typical American soda. They're imported, and come in little glass bottles. I tried the apple soda, and it was delightful. Space is huge, and has plenty of seating, but it's never crowded so if you come with a bunch of friends, you'll likely have plenty of space to sit down.
