Stopped by Gypsy Grill in the walking area of Jersey City and was pleasantly surprised. It's a…read moresmall spot with lots of Middle Eastern options. I ordered the beef and lamb shawarma for a quick bite, and it did not disappoint. Packed with flavorful sauces, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles, every bite was delicious. The guy taking my order was also super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. It's a super casual place with no bells and whistles. But great food! Definitely coming back!

The food was super fresh and full of flavor -- the pita was warm and the sauces were delicious. Reasonably priced and affordable .I got the chicken over salad with two pitas and a side of feta, and honestly it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Easy 10/10, highly recommend! Next time I will be dining in , instead of ordering so I can get the full experience

This place is basically a Turkish restaurant and not necessarily Mediterranean at all. If a…read moregeographical region needs to be associated with it then it should be a called mix of Aegean / Anatolian, as I am originally from that part of the World. Unfortunately, there is something very common in these type of Turkish restaurants and I am surprised not many people mention this. Most of the time the dishes, particularly the mezes are way too salty. The amount of salt they use is too much that it overwhelms the expected flavor of the dish and personally makes my tongue feel swollen. I am not sure if they do this partially on purpose to extend the shelf time as almost all cold mezes are prepared beforehand and not to order. They might be trying to keep the dishes from spoiling for 3 days or so. In any case and whatever the reason is it ruins the flavors for me. I'll try this place one more time then re-review with an update in the coming weeks.

Honestly not bad. Good presentation. Meat was seasoned and cooked well. Nothing was too much.

I'd give a 7.9 for sure. My only concern is if it's halal. I was asking locals about it and one guy said the only thing halal is the falafel which shocked me. Either he got beef with that restaurant or something else. Would come back so long as the drama is settled between this guy and the shop

They've added quite a few combos over the past few years but the basic platter remains my favorite. I always swap out tahini for tzatziki. And a dollop of their garlic butter on the rice adds to the flavor. Kunefes from Ibby's still remain a hot favorite. As does the rice pudding. Service is quick and the folks behind the counter are always friendly.

It's been a while since I came to Mamoon's falafel, and it did not disappoint. The customer service…read morewas really welcoming and friendly when I had some questions since it's been a while since I've ate here my son and I absolutely loved the falafel and he really enjoyed his Shawarma sandwich. I ordered the lamb platter. I believe it's called with baba ghanoush hummus and half rice half salad. I wasn't a huge fan of the rice. The dips were really great, especially with the pita chips. The salad was a little too plain for me but overall it was a yummy meal. I think I would go with chicken next time maybe the chicken sandwich or the vegetarian plate since I did really enjoy the dips and the falafel the most. The pistachios baklava was pretty good too. Ambience is laid back.

I had a serious issue at Hummus Republic on April 30 around 10 PM…read more An employee who called himself "Arun" mocked my medically incontinent 5-year-old child when he asked for bathroom directions and said it was an emergency. That is not just bad service--it's unacceptable behavior toward a child with a medical condition. There was no manager present, and the staff on-site could barely communicate in English. Beyond that: Pricing was misrepresented (jalapeños) Portions were unusually small Food quality was poor (stale cucumber and jalapeño lemonade) Concerns were dismissed without even checking Basic items like falafel and hummus were "out," and no effort was made to prepare fresh batches even at 10 PM Staff resisted providing plates, even when we offered to pay The employee even gave a false name until another staff member corrected it We spent over $100 initially and ordered more afterward, yet were treated like a nuisance. This location has serious issues with staff behavior, food quality, and basic professionalism.
