    Awesome food! I love their breakfast! The breakfast potatoes mixed with onions are delish. The lunch special is enough for 2 meals. I love the chicken shawarma with sides of baba ghanoush & hummus with warm pita yummmm The owner is super cool and really appreciates his customers! My fave restaurant in Secaucus!

    Chicken shawarma lunch special
    Stephanie G.

    Came in for lunch and they have some good lunch specials! It's a cute little restaurant and the service was super quick and friendly. You can't go wrong with some chicken shawarma (except spelling it) which comes with some rice and choice of 2 sides (got to make one the hummus with pita!) It was a filling, tasty portion that is especially great for those grabbing lunch quickly on a break. They also have wraps for less fancy options and some entrees for more fancy options. If you want some Middle Eastern food that's quick, reasonably priced, and tasty, you aren't going to do any better.

    Falafel?
    Barbara M.

    We ordered $60 worth of take out last night centered around what we thought would be outstanding falafel and lamb kebab. The lamb was severely over-cooked , lacked any kind of seasoning and it was dry and nasty. I was so very disappointed as we had invited a special guest to sample your food. I visited the restaurant and enjoyed a lamb wrap weeks ago which was cooked to perfection. But this is so disappointing. I also ordered a Lamb wrap last night without tahini sauce. The same dry morsels of lamb were in the wrap and it included the sauce specifically stated that I did not want. Therefore I really couldn't eat it. The salads that accompanied the wrap and the meal were wilted and over dressed. The lettuce also was also gritty as if it hadn't been cleaned properly. The rice was also bland and unseasoned and pretty Al dente for my taste. Fortunately, spinach pies. the hummus and baba ganouj along with the pita bread was very good. But the falafel! It might as well of been pellets for a rabbit cage. They were dry, hard, over fried, and small. Not sure I'll ever get food from here again. I was so disappointed. Perhaps we didn't get your best food because it was at the tail end of your long day. I know we ordered around 8pm but my goodness, it was just awful. I will say you were efficient with the delivery and that's why I gave you at least one star combined with the two side orders and your warm pita bread.

    Turkey bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a kaiser roll
    Jessica B.

    My fiance's parents were in from out of town and staying at the hotel across the street so we decided to meet here for breakfast. My fiance said that he has carried out breakfast from here before, but this was my first time here. The prices are extremely reasonable for their breakfast, a breakfast sandwich with bacon eggs and cheese is around $3.00. My fiance ordered BEC, I ordered TBEC and his parents both had over easy eggs and toast. You get to choose the bread for you sandwich and we both of us got our sandwiches on kaiser rolls. The food came our really quickly and looked pretty good. The food tasted good and definitely hit the spot. I would have liked more egg on the sandwich though. There was definitely more bread than anything else, but for the price I guess I can't complain. The service was OK, not great considering we were the only people in the restaurant. In my opinion, if you are looking for a cheap and quick breakfast place, this is a good option.

    Takeput taboule
    Steph S.

    *This review is for the takeout option only* After having a really terrible day, my dad brought home one the best chicken wraps I have ever had. He also got the taboule. The chicken shawarma wrap is out of this world, the chicken is thin slices seasoned well with lettuce & tomato in a whole wheat wrap. The extra pickle adds the perfect saltiness to offset the intense flavor of the shwarma. The side was a little salad seasoned perfectly with Italian. I don't think I could speak for the taboule myself because my mom would not share with me. That speaks for itself how good it is, plus she said that the taboule was not salty like a lot are. Both meals were very generous portions at a great price! A little over $12 together.

I also liked that they offered bottomless mimosas, but just a heads-up...everyone at the table has to participate!!! I ordered the Veggie Omelette, which was loaded with fresh vegetables, and it came with wheat toast, hash browns, and a side salad. The portions were so generous that I couldn't even finish my meal! Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a hearty yet healthy breakfast with excellent service, a welcoming atmosphere, and great value. I'd absolutely come back the next time I'm in the area.

Garlic knots were perfect. The pizza tho. Ugh, it was so bad. They made a cheese mushroom pizza with way too much cheese and then put the vodka sauce on top after!!! Like a drunken grandma pie. That's not what I wanted. I asked for, "a cheese pizza with vodka sauce." It was so soggy that it soaked through the bottom of the box. Stayed soggy even after reheating in the oven. I ate half a slice and tossed the rest sadly. I won't be ordering from here again. The cannoli was fine but wouldn't order again either. The only thing I would eat again is the garlic knots. Very disappointing for Jersey pizza.

    Bareli's in Secaucus makes a fantastic first impression. The restaurant sits on a busy route with…read moreeasy access in and out, and the parking lot is large enough to accommodate many vehicles. The interior is visually impressive: elegant table linens, comfortable leather chairs, and a dining room that looks polished and upscale. When we arrived, what appeared to be the owner was greeting guests at the entrance. Since he was welcoming everyone and dressed differently from the rest of the staff, we assumed he was the owner. It was a great touch and immediately raised our expectations. Unfortunately, the experience did not fully match that first impression. We started with drinks: a glass of wine for me and an Old Fashioned for my wife. As happens too often in restaurants, the stronger drink was automatically assumed to be mine, and the drinks were delivered incorrectly. It's a small detail, but one that reflects attention--or lack of it. Bread arrived quickly, followed soon after by the food. I ordered the gnocchi with meat sauce. The dish was acceptable, but nothing extraordinary. My wife ordered the house seafood salad, which was very good--fresh, flavorful, and easily the best dish we had that night. Our waiter spoke limited English. Once he realized we also spoke his language, the service became noticeably more relaxed and somewhat overly familiar. He immediately tried to guide us toward the most expensive items on the menu. When I declined coffee after dinner, he responded by saying something along the lines of: "Well, that's your choice, but the coffee here is very good," which felt unnecessary. We also had a small issue with the Old Fashioned garnish. The orange peel looked unusual, so we asked for the drink to be replaced. The waiter did replace it, though he first tried to explain that what we thought were worms were simply marks on the fruit peel. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu, which the waiter promoted heavily as the best dessert to try. Unfortunately, it didn't deliver. Instead of the classic layered presentation, it arrived more like a cup full of cream with a few pieces of soaked bread and very little coffee flavor. The issue was not just the dessert itself, but the expectations created when it was described. Bareli's is a beautiful restaurant with a great location and atmosphere, but the service details and execution didn't quite match the level suggested by the setting.

We walked in to a beautifully decorated waiting area and were seating quickly. You could hear the live music playing and it was perfect. Our waiter Nathan R., was welcoming and attentive. The dirty martini was made perfectly and the hand stuffed blue cheese olives were a nice touch over the pre stuffed jar ones. To start we ordered the Burrata Salad. It was delicious. All the ingredients worked well together. For the second course we were floating between the Black Spaghetti and the Lobster Ravioli Special. We wound up going with the special and it was the move. The black inked ravioli, had chunks of lobster inside and hit nicely with the "angry sauce" on top. That bread helped clean that plate up nice. For the mains: 20oz Bone In NY Strip with sautéed spinach. Perfectly cooked to my liking and I loved that it was pre sliced for me. Spinach was lightly oiled and a perfect amount of garlic. Salmon Special - Pumpkin seed crusted with butternut squash. The plate was beautifully decorated and looked fantastic, but as soon as we cut into the salmon it was raw. It was a huge piece of salmon. So I'm sure that's what happened. Picture shown is the under cooked one that was taken back. I did not get a picture of the next. The manager saw immediately as my wife cut into it and we didn't have to say anything. He took the plate back and began making another. The dish came out and it was definitely well done this time. The piece of salmon was a lot smaller than the first. I'm sure it was to cut the cooking time down and get it out asap. The meal was fantastic. Just wish we were able to eat together. It happens. For dessert: Espresso Martini - Perfect. No baileys, 3 beans. Pistachio gelato - fantastic Zeppole - There were 3 different sauces for each one. It was amazing. Our waiter Nathan and the manager were extremely apologetic. They even came out with a complimentary limoncello spirit as we were settling up. I can't wait to dine here again to give Bareli's the 5 star it deserves.
