My husband and I really enjoy Hot Kebabs. Their food is always so fresh, perfectly seasoned, and…read morejust so satisfying. We absolutely LOVE their shepherd's salad and we even order the shepherd's salad when we host dinners and it's always devoured. Our usual order is the chicken kebob platter, gyro meat platter, and shepherd's salad. The chicken and gyro meats are accompanied by two types of rice, some salad, a grilled piece of tomato (yums), and a superrrrr spicy pepper (it's tasty, but be cautious! Take only a small bite to test first). We also get their falafel wrap, which is sooo good. I think they have the best falafel wrap. It's simple -- good falafels, hummus, lettuce. Just so good! This is one of our go to orders in the neighborhood when we don't want to do any cooking! We either order through delivery apps or we go there and our order pick up. The owner is always so pleasant. We haven't dined-in yet, but the restaurant itself is casual, spacious, clean, and presentable. Street parking is available.

recently tried Hot Kebab City and ordered the Adana kebab--and it did not disappoint. It was…read moreperfectly 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.

Türkiye is a country of two continents, European and Asian, and that is why the food of this…read morecountry contains the peculiarities of both continents. Turkish cuisine is a unique combination of flavors, spices, and herbs developed over thousands of years, influenced by the Central Asian nomads and Arabic, Persian, Italian, French, and Eastern European cultures. While New York has some great Turkish food if one knows where to look, most of it leaves some room for improvement. Could Jersey be better? The town of Carlstadt has mainly residential private homes, with a spattering of condos and garden apartments. The main shopping area is all of about three blocks long on both sides of the street. Translated from the Turkish language, meaning sultan, we have come to this family-owned/family-run establishment located on Hackensack Street since 2006 for Saturday dinner. The reservation was easily made by Google Assistant. Upon entering this hidden gem called Hünkar Restaurant as first-timers, my partner, our friends, and I were greeted by the staff inside a cozy room, where ethnic pictures and decorations as well as the music all add to the vibe. A great view of the NYC skyline is visible from their enclosed back patio. Their menu features Mediterranean and Turkish cuisine with a modern twist and serves alcohol. As an appetizer, we decided on the Kibbeh (Icli Kofte), Calamari (Kalamar), and Cigarette Borek (Sigara Boregi). For our main meal, we opted for Chicken Saute (Taouk Sote), Shrimp Kebab, Lamb Shish Kebab (Kuzu Sis Kebab), and Chicken Shish Kebab (Tavuk Kebab). All Kebab meal accompanied by rice, char-grilled tomatoes, peppers, and a small salad. Warm, fluffy pida bread with a crisp crust started our meal. Every dish bursts with authentic flavor and is beautifully presented, from the fact that Turkish families from all over the area eat here. The staff is warm, welcoming, and very professional; our server was Akincan "John," the owners' son. The price was comparable to the area with the right portion. We can recommend this place.

Thankfully the Halal Joint has a much saner gameplan - being open and having (enough) inventory. The restaurant is small, bright, clean. The guy behind the counter was friendly. And the food has a lot of pop - the falafel was crispy, crunchy and packed with flavor and those Cajun fries (weird that they only offered seasoned French fries) were mighty delicious as well. Everything being fried isn't the best option for someone in my age-bracket but it sure was tasty. Portion sizes were legit. Pricing was decent. Parking... welp, you can't win 'em all.

I know there's a million Halal spots popping up, and I will admit I'm very, very picky when it comes to platters. I miss the good ol' days on 53rd street in NYC... I came by around 10pm and was served quickly by a friendly employee. They have platters, burgers, wraps, wings, chicken tenders, fries, etc. I ordered the chicken rice platter (~$13.50). They cook the meat fresh on the grill and then you choose your toppings at the salad bar (olives, onions, peppers, tomatoes, etc.). It's a bit pricier than other places, but the portion size is huge. The container felt HEAVY lol. It's just a shame it went to waste because I really didn't enjoy the food. I only finished about half of it before I tossed the rest. The white sauce was almost flavorless and was VERY watery. The chicken wasn't as well-seasoned. No distinct spices or aroma. Every bite left me with a very greasy and salty taste in my mouth. The side salad was just okay. I was disappointed. The only saving grace was the rice... it was fluffy and the best part of the whole platter. Not sure if I came on an off night or...? Don't let my review stop you from trying. It might just not be the Halal spot for me.

For this order, we received some stewed curry chicken with rice and peas. The chicken was kind of dry. I'm not sure if it's an end of the day thing, or that's just how their chicken is. I guess there was a reason why there was still some left at the end of the day. I'd still come back to try their gyros and jerk chicken, which is what I originally wanted to try and was hoping to get. Maybe those dishes will be better.
