The food is excellent--the meat is fresh, and the rice and salad are great. The staff are also excellent. This will be my favorite spot.

I thought the food was FANTASTIC. The menu had so many options from swarmas to fries to platters to kebabs. There's so much you can chose from. For the price and flavor it was so worth it. I got two meals out of mine. I got the gyro platter and it probably was one of the tastiest meals I've had in a long time. I thought the chicken was seasoned and flavorful. But by far, the best part was the white sauce. I would pair it with the mango lassi and it was such a great explosion of flavors - both savory and sweet. I will say they ask whether you're okay with onions and raisins in your platter. I liked them but I know raisins might not be what most people prefer to add to their rice. Service was fast. You can either order at the front table or at your seat. They got the food in a reasonable amount of time. The place looks small from the outside, but when you walk in, there's a back room worth of 30 people worth of seating. It's extremely cozy inside. There's also a parking lot right next to the restaurant and also across the street. The lot right next door is kinda small though, so you might need to loop around. Parking shouldn't be a problem and you can get a really good stop if you're lucky. read more

Kabab paradise more like kabab nightmare! We had the pork and had the squirts. Awful.i knew it too because the bathroom smelled and looked exactly like the afgani stew we just ate! My insides burned out for 2 days. And I went to work the next day and had to share the after math with my co-workers, if you know what I mean. And then I actually clogged the toilet at work. I just left it as is. A mess. I highly recommend Kabab paradise if you are scheduled for a colonoscopy. read more

They never disappoint. The portions are so good for the price. The seating is super comfortable. It's very easy to order whether it's take out or dine-in. Food comes out fast and I've had a pleasant experience with all of the workers. Top place on my food rotations. read more

Love the gyro platters and wings! They have a nice variety and you cant go wrong with anything you choose!

My interaction with Farhad was so impressive! He was professional, friendly, and accommodating when I used his services for a recent business lunch meeting. Kabab Paradise was recommended by one of the staff members and I'm so glad that it was! Everything from the planning (thank you so much for keeping it WAY within budget), delivery, presentation, etc. was great. But, I have to save the best for last.. the FOOD. My goodness, everything was presented beautifully. It was fresh, and it was absolutely delicious. We had a little bit of everything for this 90 person spread.. from hummus, falafel, rice with orange and raisins, chicken, gyro, falafel gyro mix (my new veggie fave!), chicken kufta, salad... I love the white sauce on everything! I will absolutely consider this place for any of my area lunches. Now, if you could just move a location closer to Middlesex County! 10/10! read more

We LOVE Kabab Paradise! Hands down the best gyro platters anywhere! The people there are super nice and friendly and you can tell the talking their food is made with love. Desserts, sauces, drinks, you name it, so much is made in house! Their solar wings are pretty awesome too! And don't sleep on their Borani Bajan app. It's outstanding! Every time we visit the food is super consistent and equally delicious. They have a beautiful restaurant as well if you choose to dine-in, but takeout is also a great option!

I have been coming to this place for years. This place has doubled in size through the year and the decor has improved significantly through the years and this time we went it has a nice restaurant vibe. It's almost always busy but the staff always makes sure you are taken care of and treat you as a valued customer. Our favorite is the lamb karahi and lamb gyro platter. The solar wings are great too. The food is great and fresh and come with big portions. We always get a second and third meal out of it. You can also order food via an app and schedule a pick up time. One of the best places to eat around the area. read more

We have been going to Kabab Paradise for years and must say that they have stayed consistent throughout all the years! The food is seriously so great!

I think Kabab Paradise is the best place for platters right now. Juicy platters fell off, and new york platters are tasteless. The Kebab Paradise platter is the best and nothing else can top it off read more

Ordered: Mixed Gyro Platter (~$12): chicken and lamb with onions, peppers, mushrooms, chopped pita bread with white sauce on top. Served with rice with carrots and raisins. Orange Juice (~$2): their own version of orange/tangerine juice. Aya's take: Absolutely delicious and the price is unbeatable. I've never been able to finish this in one sitting and it really keeps you full for a while. The brown Afghan rice is cooked perfectly and you have to ask for extra white sauce! read more

I was looking forward to an afghani meal and I was left quite disappointed. I recall years ago when this place first opened and their quality was amazing however it has definitely changed since then. The ashak was decent, the combo rice tasted like turmeric and the meat did not taste fresh. Lastly, the wing were HUGE and were very fatty. The revamped the dining area so that's a plus. The service was good. read more

Kabab Paradise - Kabab Combo, onion rings, Beef Quesadilla - Afghan Near Me - Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey

Kabab Paradise is consistently wonderful, and one of the really great lunch bargains in the area. It's not on the menu, but you can order the lamb, chicken or mixed gyro platter lunch special for under $10. Just ask for it. While it's a bit smaller than the full-priced platter, it's still a lot of food. The meat is always tender inside with just the right amount of char where the flame kissed it. It's tossed on the grill with onions, green peppers and bits of pita. On the side you get incredible seasoned rice that's always moist and is topped with marinated carrots and raisins. Every table gets three bottles of sauce to top your platter. Their delicious white sauce, a green minty sauce and hot sauce. You will use them all. The service remains excellent and friendly. The dining area is clean and comfortable. It's been years since I first visited Kabab Paradise and it's still one of my favorite restaurants. read more

I haven't been to this specific location in so long but my friends wanted to try it out since we were in the area! It's honestly even better than I remember. We ordered takeout and got a mixed gyro platter, lamb gyro platter, chicken gyro sandwich, and a bolani! The portions are SO BIG and can easily be shared by two people, all while being super filling. I love ordering a single platter so that I can have leftovers for next day! Kabab paradise is always super reminiscent and I'm always excited to come back for more! read more

Pleasantly surprised by little ol' Lake Hiawatha! So many great local restaurants/small businesses in this little area - and this is one you gotta try. I recently moved from Fair Lawn and would order from Juicy Platters every so often so I was sad that there weren't any locations out here...until I found this place. And it definitely hits the spot. The platters at Kabab Paradise differ from Juicy Platters and Halal Guys a little but in a good way - enough to make them their own. I ordered the mixed platter (gyro lamb, chicken, onions, greens peppers, carrots, and raisins). Not a big raisin fan so I asked for no raisins. For take out they give white sauce, hot sauce and ketchup on the side. The white sauce is a tasty addition to add on top (pretty sure it's a mayo base with herbs and spices - if you google it it's pretty standard at halal places). Called my order in and 10-15 minutes later it was hot and fresh and ready to go. I love leftovers so this was a great order for having plenty left over. Good portion, good price and super tasty! read more

Quick service and the food is amazing! Especially love the green herb sauce and white sauce on the rice and chicken kababs. People are super nice and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

The food is delicious food and the staff are pleasant. There is street parking available.

Great food, very consistent and tasty. We typically get the mixed gyro (lamb + chicken) platter or lamb gyro platter with raisins and carrots The staff is very helpful. read more

I was very impressed with our first order from Kebab Paradise. I ordered the Lamb Gyro platter which featured a generous portion of lamb over a bed of jasmine rice and some grilled vegetables drizzled with a little white sauce. The lamb and rice were perfectly seasoned and delicious. My son ordered the Chicken Kebab platter which was equally delicious. My wife ordered the Adana salad which was well prepared and very fresh. We drove about 15 minutes to the Lake Hiawatha location and it was every bit worth the trip. Kebab Paradise is superior to the new wave of middle eastern restaurants that are popping seemingly everywhere. I will definitely return. read more

Delicious food. Been going for years and it's consistently excellent. Have recommended to numerous people and hear the same consistent praise each time. read more

I've been here more times than I can remember. My husband is also the biggest fan of this place. They make the BEST mixed platters, their burgers are also super popular as well, but we opt for the mixed platters. The white sauce and green sauce can't be beat and the portions are a great size, usually have some leftovers for a second meal. Staff is friendly and organized. Seating both indoors and outdoors as well, as well as street parking and a small lot that you can use as well. read more

Amazing food and what a wonderful cashier who just brightens up you're day with his smile and hospitality. A true gem in the area.

Let me start this off by saying I love Kabab Paradise. They're great, food is always top-notch, flavors are so good, and prices are super reasonable! Ever since the pandemic started, I've ordered food for both takeout and now, sit-in dining, and both experiences have been really good. Now that there is sit-in dining, tables are sanitized after every group and the waitress will direct you to a table for social distancing. One thing, the portions are HUGE when you are sitting in to dine. I ordered my go-to, the combo gyro platter with everything on it (carrots, raisins) including white and hot sauce. My friend ordered the chicken platter with everything on it as well. When the platter came to the table, I was shocked. The portion was HUGE, and in my opinion, much bigger than the already very decent-sized takeout portion. I couldn't finish the plate, and had almost a whole other meal packed to-go which I ate the next day for lunch. I haven't had much chances to try other things on the meal, but will definitely be back many more times in the future to try everything! I heard that the solar wings were really good, so that's on my list to try next. read more

We first rated this place quiet highly for their well-seasoned falafel bowl. The rice was so richly decadent, and the white (tzatziki?) and green sauce (lime?) made the dish even better. Next time we ordered for delivery, and there were pieces of meat mixed in with our falafel bowl - just to alert vegetarians/vegans. Our stomachs didn't feel well a couple hours later. We gave twice chances after this because we liked them the first time. We ordered a to-go, and caught a glimpse of their kitchen. It was so dirty and concerning - I suggest you don't peek in while waiting to eat your food. When we ate our food it tasted fine, but for some reason it only had rice and the falafel, and no sautéed vegetables like it used to. The last incident we ordered to-go, we again had concerning pieces of unknown things in my bowl (photo attached). We won't be coming back anymore. read more

Kabab Paradise - They don't listen to u when u try to order food very sad customer service - Afghan Near Me - Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey

OMG! I am so happy we stumbled on this! It's the best Afghan food I've had. We were in the way back from the night lights and this was the only place that was open kinda late. I ordered this online and food was ready very soon. I think we kinda over ordered but it was still good for leftovers. Portions are very big and the platters can be shared. The staff is very nice and the restaurant is easy to get to. I think the only downside is that this location is kinda out of the way so I will probably try out the Teaneck location! read more

Kabab Paradise - a variety of food items - Afghan Near Me - Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey

What an experience!! The place has an ordering room and a dining room. You order in the ordering room and sit in dining room where servers serve you. We sat down wherever we wanted, got a can of soda with the kebab platter and got salad and bread with sauce. My friend and I ordered 3 things to share to try out more items on the menu and I enjoyed all of them. Food: Honey BBQ Solar Wings: Pricy, however delicious and was pretty sizable. Would definitely try again and the flavor was savory and sweet. Lots of meat on it. Venus Burger: affordable and was delicious. I personally believed that it was my favorite item out of the 3 that I tried. The burger melted in my mouth with the cheese and the Patty. It was super tasty with the onions and mushrooms. My mouth waters thinking about it. Lamb Chop Kebab: Pricy, I felt that it could have costed less for the amount of food that was given. It was, however, really enjoyable food and the lamb was delicious. The rice and the things with it complimented each other and the lamb was super tender with lots of flavor. It was filling and great. Overall, would come again because the food was really good and the people were nice. read more

Overall: Delicious platters for a food-chain Ambience: Not sure, ordered take out. Small parking lot on the side. Menu: Ordered take out combo and chicken platters and they were amazing. So good that I ate part of it on my drive back. Highly recommended!! Price: Cheaper than a lot of authentic kebab places that I have been to. I think the platters were $14ish each which is great for the quality and quantity that you get. Service: Quick pick up read more
