    Lunch menu.
    Michael M.

    Been a happy customer for over 10 years. Love the middle eastern food. Great lunch specials. Favorite are the kabobs. Priced at $9.95 a great deal. Enjoy the freshly brewed ice tea. Located in strip Medel with plenty of parking.

    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.

We ordered pretty much the same thing as the first time with the addition of the Cheese Borek to try out. It had a great balance of salty cheese flavor to the crispy phyllo dough. It went well with the Fattoush Salad (that came with the Mixed Platter). We were 3 people this time and the Mixed Platter for 2 was plenty of food along with all the appetizers we got. The Iced Mint Lemonade could have a bit more mint and less sugar but I found it sweet and refreshing. Their Hummus and Babaghanoush here are both excellent and pairs well with the warm pita they give you. Please do yourself a favor and check out El Jardin! Delicious food, amazing portions, and family-owned Palestinian restaurant.

Parking is shared, and valet service is available for a small fee ($5). I believe it's a set price and the parties start/end at a certain time.

I am not sure on the packages they offer for a planned party, but you can call to ask. I had a conversation with the owner who seemed very nice and hospitable. All the staff were very accommodating also. The food situation was a little odd. They bring out a buffet style self serve **first come, first serve**.

Fixed price for appetizers and entree. This place is a bit pricier than similar nearby Beirut lounge, but the venue is larger and the experience offers a bit more, accordingly. I found the staff to be pretty on-the-ball and friendly. Large venue. Hookah is extra, as is pretty standard at these type of events. They do serve alcohol and you can order drinks at the bar if you choose. It's a bit of an odd setup, being so close to the hotel. I parked in the back, where the valet instructed me to (I opted not to do valet), but I did see people parking right in front of the place. Fun time though, and great overall experience, again, similar to Beirut, something hard to find even in NYC and surrounding areas. If you're looking for a uniquely Arab/Middle Eastern type of party, this is your place. Location is pretty convenient as well if you're coming from NY, as it's only a few miles from the Lincoln Tunnel and also pretty close to the GW Bridge (but closest to the Lincoln Tunnel)

Really wish I took photos - therefore just like the great convos with the wonderful, extremely personable and educational counter gentlemen - will be coming back real soon with photos Review: Hudson Kebab House isn't just good--it's memorable. I had the gyro wrap, my wife had the chickpea salad with falafel, and both dishes were so on point they brought me right back to my time in Istanbul. Flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. The wrap was balanced, not greasy, and the falafel had that perfect crisp-to-fluff ratio. But what really stood out? The person behind the counter. Not sure if he's the owner or just part of a family-run operation, but his energy was magnetic. He checked in with us--and with everyone who came through the door--like we were all regulars. Friendly without being overbearing, helpful without the upsell. He made the food taste even better, if that's possible. This spot has soul. It's the kind of place you return to not just because the food is excellent (it is), but because it feels good to be there. I'll be back very soon to try the kebabs, and when I do, expect a full deep dive--possibly with pictures, definitely with passion. 15/10 - must try. Strong BUY, erm, sry, not investing..

The decor inside feels homey, nostalgic, and thoughtful. They weren't busy at all on a Sunday around 1:30pm so we were seated right away. We started with 1pc Lahmacun which is often called Turkish pizza. It's minced beef, tomatoes, onions, and spices on fresh flatbread. Their flatbread and even the complimentary bread we received before this was to die for! Some of the best bread I've ever had at a Middle Eastern restaurant. It was warm, fresh, and airy. The Lahmacun had delicious flavor and paired well with the vegetables it's served with. 1pc is plenty to share among 2 people. It was now time for the Mixed Grill which was presented beautifully! All the meat was outstanding, tender, juicy, smoky, you name it. I honestly didn't have a favorite because they were all delicious. I love that it's served with both rice and salad with the salad being on both sides of the plate making it even easier to share. This was easily sharable among 2 people and could even stretch out to 3 people if you order other appetizers. We ended with the Finn Sütlac which is a Turkish-style baked rice pudding. It was creamy and lightly sweet but the rice grains were still whole and slightly undercooked which I didn't particularly enjoy. I'm used to them being softer and even smaller in size. Beyti Kebab is easily a 4.5/5; some of the best Turkish food I've had across NY/NJ. Highly recommend!
