recently tried Hot Kebab City and ordered the Adana kebab--and it did not disappoint. It was perfectly spiced, flavorful without being overwhelming, and cooked just right. The sides were just as impressive: the rice and bulgur were delicious, especially paired with the grilled tomato and pepper. The pita came out warm and fresh, which made everything even better. And the opening chopped tomato and cucumber salad was so fresh and tasty. Very very good. The atmosphere is nice, clean, and very friendly, which made the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable. Parking is street parking, so you might have to circle a bit, but spots do open up fairly regularly. I would come back again. read more

Well, HELLO!!! My husband and I got an order of the Chicken Adana Kebab, and kiddo got the Meat Patties (Kofte kebab). The chicken and the piece my kiddo shared of his kofte kebab were very flavorful. The rice was also flavorful and soft. The order even came with a full pack of unopened pita; what a deal!!! The portions are big, so saving some of this for tomorrow. Highly recommend. read more

Hot Kebabs City - 6. Lamb Chops and 8. Mix Kebab - Turkish Near Me - East Rutherford, New Jersey

Stopped by here for lunch and had a great experience. Tried the chicken adana and it was very flavorful. Also tried the zucchini pancakes and very tasty. Turkish coffee came with a turkish delight and absolute perfection. Casual cafe type ambiance and service was good. They have 10% discount if you pay with cash. Prices are very reasonable( almost like pre inflation prices). Definitely try this ,if you are in the area. read more

Very consistent with food quality. Lamb and adana kababs are great. Chicken could be better if they use farm raised chicken instead of factory raised chicken read more

5 stars all around. Came here on a Friday night, they're open late which is great. My first impression of this restaurant was that it was beautiful and clean. Lots of seating options and truly everything was shining, beautifully decorated too. I grabbed a menu and looked it over. I went with the mix appetizer option and the cheese rolls for appetizers. Both were great. Their lebni and hummus are to die for. Absolutely delicious. The cheese rolls were super tasty too. I got the chicken kebab and it was perfectly cooked. Deliciously spiced and marinated chicken. Super tender too. The rice - oh my god. So so so good! My favorite. Everything was wonderful. I can't wait to come back and try more options and some dessert. The workers were all very friendly too. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Got the lamb kebab, gyro, and baklava. Lamb kebab was great, meat was juicy and firm. Gyro was ok, dry while being juicy via fatty meat aka dry and oily. I've never had baklava before but I knew it was supposed to look like, it wasn't amazing because the syrup had sunk and only touched the bottom layers of baklava. Also kinda sucks that they charged for extra sauce. read more

Flavorful, fresh and fast- the three F's needed for my heart. They have lunch specials until 5, which is perfect for lazy eaters like me. I had the chicken shish, and it came with red lentil soup (or salad). I ended up having the soup and pita bread for dinner, so it was 2 meals for the price of 1! Everything was well seasoned and tasted delicious. The girl at the register was friendly. Their hot sauce is spicy, and the perfect addition to the meal. I'll definitely be back! read more

Food was fresh and delivery was fast! Will definitely be ordering from them again. I love that they also except cash too.

Went back today for more lentil soup. I also tried the falafel wrap for the first time. WAY better than the apps I got my first time here. Really good fresh falafel. Not quite like what you'll get in Manhattan but really good for the burbs. And I'm very picky about my falafel. This was soft inside and not dry. Freshly made. Thanks, folks! read more

Fire place for kebabs. Meat is seasoned well and cooked just perfectly. Rice and salad is also good. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for some kebabs. read more

The kebabs here are phenomenal, flavorful, juicy, and served with amazing spices and sauces that make for a real punch of flavor. Ranging from the chicken adana kebab to the side dish options like the hummus and babaganoush, it was clear that everything was super fresh and prepared with real authentic Turkish fashion. Compared to other kebab places, this place makes for a deliciously seasoned kebab without anything being overly salty or tough. Highly recommend trying this place if you're looking for something vibrant and flavorful for dinner. read more

Great food, great value. Really enjoy supporting local family business. We have been there few times and order weekly. Highly recommend.

Honestly i feel bad even leaving a review but i feel worse that i just got my Uber eats delivered and this was the size of the items i received . I understand the economy is bad but... FRIES? There's probably 12 fries, not even full size, in that container for $6!! Two kibbehs for $13?????? This hasssss to be a joke no sauces, no utensils, literally just one napkin. Not sure if this place has new management but if i wanted to pay for food and still be hungry after i would have never ordered .. I'm so sorry ! read more

I've been seeing dishes from this place pop up on my social media for the last month, so decided to finally give it a try. We decided to eat outdoors on site, and were quickly greeted and seated. This place is great. The food was authentic, delicious, and fairly priced. The service was great. We had a long conversation with the owner's daughter and you can see the passion and authenticity this establishment brings. The main cook is the owner(father), his wife, and 2 kids help out. The daughter asked me if it was OK to give my kid some chocolate and I allowed it. When she heard me tell my kid to save some for my other kid who was home, she handed me another one. These little acts of hospitality go a long way. On to the food. We started with baba ganoush, which had the perfect texture and smokiness. Then we ordered the kibbeh, which was perfectly fried and was stuffed with well seasoned meat. For the main, we ordered chicken adana and beef adana. Both dishes came with rice, bulgur, salad, pita, and the kebabs. Both, the chicken and beef were so flavorful, juicy, and tender. We wanted an authentic hot sauce, so they have us a spicy cold vegetable appetizer(Acili Ezme) on the house, which was superb. The overall portion and size of the dishes were more for the price. Great value, amazing taste, and excellent service. Within the last 10 days, been there 3 times already. read more

Good lunch specials. Very tasty and fast delivery. Includes salad and a drink. Adana kebab for the win!

Excellent Turkish Food in East Rutherford. Happy to have another halal eatery near my home. They opened up during this pandemic and the take out service was awesome. The food was amazing and nicely packed. The kitchen looked spotless and all the employees were taking the proper COVID precautions (masks, glove, sanitizer). I can't wait to come back and dine in when all this is behind us. Support local businesses during these tough times!! read more

So consistent. So good. Best white sauce around. Perfect adana kebab. Good prices. Lots of room In their Dining room and they pack it perfectly for to go orders. The people here do a great job. Conveniently located down the street from the Candlewyk Diner. I can eat here daily. Keep up the great cooking!!! read more

Top notch food and top notch service. I saw the good reviews and decided to stop in and was not disappointed one bit. The meat quality was as good as it gets and the kababs come out hot and juicy. The only small knock is that their kababs are not so big....so I suggest if you're coming in hungry ask for an extra skewer. Their prices are very fair/reasonable so that is reflected. read more

Delicious food awesome service and great portions!! Love the ambiance!! Will definitely be back soon!

Really enjoyed my meal. I got the kofte iskender with yogurt. I couldn't finish because the portions are pretty big. This place is generous with their portions. This is probably one of the more reasonably priced Turkish restaurants in the area. read more

I am from south Jersey, first time visiting this restaurant and it did not disappoint me. It was fresh, delicious, and fast service. Customer service is great. The restaurant itself is very welcoming, clean, and friendly staff. Also, comparing to other restaurants this one in specific is decent and affordable. Will come back for sure. read more

The food was ok but the small salad for $ 5.99 is a little too much for what they give you . The PITA was thrown in a paper bag . Not the right thing to do with what is going on in the world today . At least you can wrap the pita in wax paper and place it in the bag . We are not in the streets of Istanbul ! As far as the salad my friend , we have been going to Hunkar for over 15 years and there small salad for 9.99 is a meal compared to your 5.99 salad . Check your math on food cost ! read more

10 stars for sure! Awesome food and awesome customer service, that is a breath of fresh air after dealing with really horrible restaurants. The new person who takes the orders on the phone is just amazing. Really goes beyond for customers. He should be a manager. A lot of other restaurant managers don't even know the basics of customer service but Kuri goes above manager level. Delivery guy was good and professional as well. Meeting kind/well-mannered people is a shock now. And this restaurant shocked me! I'm so glad I found this spot! My new favorite! I never liked hummus in my life but omg...their hummus is amazing :) The salad, meat and food overall is just wonderful! I attached a picture of the food after I ate some. I ordered from a different restaurant before this the same day with a horrible experience but this restaurant really made my day better. I'm grateful that nice people and great restaurants still exist in some spots! Thank you read more

Great service & Great food. I would highly recommend this place because the service is great & their food is very delicious. Every time I'm in NJ, I try to stop by & grab their food. Their staffs are very welcoming & friendly. It's a very clean & friendly environment. Their chicken Adana is my family & their portions is great. read more

We've tried lunch twice. So their zucchini pancakes are all that & then some. Best I've had in the area. Their chicken shish lunch special is nice for lunch but if you are a big meat eater you might want to get their entree nstead because it has 2 times the meat. My one pet peeve is that their meals should come with one container of white sauce or hot sauce. Their meals come with 2 pitas, 2 types of rice grilled piece of tomato and a grilled long pepper. Their lunch includes a salad or soup read more

New favorite place in town! The staff is SO nice. I've ordered the gyro entree - generous portions! The falafel and hummus appetizer is outstanding. They always pack plenty of warm pita along with it. The rice pudding Is with the splurge! On another note, I have ordered the chicken kebab entree in the past and steer clear of it now,along with the babaganoush as I prefer these two items from another restaurant. Everything else has exceeded expectation. The kitchen is immaculate. It can't get any cleaner. read more

We have ordered from here several times for delivery. I can say we have been pleased every time we've received our order. It's arrived on time, correct, and pretty much temperature correct. The only problem I have, is how the pita never seems to be fresh. I wrap them in foil, warm them, and still they don't work out for our meal. Everything else is spot on though- the stuffed grape leaves are wonderful! The zucchini pancakes are a must-have!!! Would be great if they gave you more white sauce without having to order it, but I just HAVE to have it! I'd definitely give them a try, and my family and I will of course be going back! read more

The doner kebab was excellent, with a good variety of textures. The acili ezme was one of the best I've encountered, delivering the expected spice high but also letting the individual ingredients have their say. The service was excellent, both welcoming and informative for this first-time visitor. read more

Simply amazing! Great service and the quality of the food is great. Adding this to the rotation of lunch spots. read more

Hot Kebabs City - Gyro Kebab (Doner) and Adana Kebab - Turkish Near Me - East Rutherford, New Jersey

Sooo good. So good in fact I forgot to take pictures because it looked to be devoured. We got the adana and the lamb shish kebabs... the meat was so juicy and tender esp the lamb... its whole meat while the adana was a spicier option. Don't get the lunch because you get half the meat... just pay the few extra dollars to get double. The yogurt sauce is out of this world. The two types of rice was so bomb... as an Asian two types of rice is a luxury. Coming back every time I go to American Dream... skip that food court read more

My husband and I are super fans of Mediterranean food and we have been to MANY places around the world trying it. This stands up the test. Food portions were decent, menu is vast, prices are reasonable, spices are on spot, service was great. My husband, who is a picky eater said: "We have a new spot!" We definitely recommend it! I took one star off because the meat was not fully / well done. But, that's my thing because I like my food very well done. read more

Iam sooo happy it is finally open inside! This place is such a great gem. FRESH FOOD ALWAYS. Tried some new things this time around. We got the zucchini pancakes. They are filled with carrot and dill and with sauce on the side. These are to DIE for. Absolutely out of this world. Also tried the cheese rolls. This was a flaky pastry filled with feta cheese and parsley. Delicious! On to the red lentil soup.... I LOVED it. Great texture and full of flavor. I look forward to getting this next time. For dinner we got the lamb shish, the gyro platter, and the chicken sauteed. This was the first time I ever tried anything other than the kebabs and i was blown away. Chicken, oregano? And a lil red sauce. Served with bulgar and white rice. It was awesome. I'm really glad I tried something new. To end the meal turkish tea was brought out. Each cup had a packaged sugar cube which was adorable. This family are hard workers and are sweethearts. I highly recommend this place. When ya call tell them Tara sent you!!!! read more

The restaurant wasn't busy around lunchtime on the weekend, so our order was taken quickly and the food came out within 15 minutes. All the platters tasted great, but the only complaint is that there is not enough meat. The lack of meat may have been due to the orders being the cheaper lunch special, but it is very unlikely that someone will finish the meat and not have at least a quarter of the rice remaining. However, the price was good, so the overall restaurant experience was great. read more
