I ordered: Iced Mint Lemonade El Jardin Starter Sample (hummus, falafel, cheese borek) Beef Shawarma wrap mixed platter shrimp platter I loved the lemonade and the Sampler was good as well! The shrimp and the mixed platter weren't too bad. All in all, I had a good experience!

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.

When I walked in, I wasn't sure what to order at first because I'd never been to a Shah's Halal…read moreFood before. But the man serving customers at the counter (on a Sunday afternoon) was so: gentle, kind, polite, welcoming and respectful that he immediately put me at ease. I relaxed into this new environment. And I read their menu two or three times; then, I decided on a falafel gyro. It was only 9.99, which makes it really affordable for the UWS! Plus, I got to choose which veggies and sauces to put on it. I enjoyed that sense of agency with my food...I'm not a picky eater, just highly selective. : ) With that, he patiently assisted me in making a beautiful and colorful falafel gyro, which I enjoyed quite a lot. I even texted some of the following photos to my Dad, since I thought this dish looked so gorgeous! : ) My Dad agreed. Hehe ~ With that, this place's low key and friendly vibe paired with its inexpensive pricing (for what you're receiving), makes it a wonderful neighborhood attraction. The food was so delicious, and the location was so convenient! (It's just one street and an Avenue away from the 1 train at 96th.) Go check out Shah's today -- you surely won't leave hungry! : ) With Gratitude, Peace & Love, Katherine "Kat"

I got onion, pepper, green sauce, hot sauce and bbq sauce on the side. The hot sauce was not too spicy. We ordered online and our order was ready in 5 mins.

Food (5/5): Really delicious food especially the gappa chaat and the beef roll. The beef in the…read moreroll was flavorful and nice textures. The fries were also super crispy with amazing seasoning. I got the regular fried chicken sandwich which looked impressive. It was quite good as well although I liked the roll more. Service (5/5): Friendly and helpful service. We didn't realize the combo and just adding fries were the same price and they let me still have the combo. The food came out at approx 10ish min and we were checked up a couple times. They were generally very helpful with all requests. Ambiance (5/5): I really liked the Pakistani decor of the restaurant. It had a really nice vibrant vibe.

My absolute go-to in Secaucus for authentic vibes and fresh eats!…read more I keep coming back to Food Street because it's easily one of the most authentic spots in the area. The Paneer Tikka Roll is my personal favourite , the paneer is incredibly fresh, soft, and perfectly spiced every single time. It's wrapped in a flaky, house-made paratha that makes a huge difference. Beyond my usual, the Gappa Chaat is a must-try if you're with a group; it's tangy, crunchy, and beautifully presented. The ambience is vibrant with cool murals, giving it a modern street-food feel that's great for a casual date or family dinner. The service is fast and the staff is always welcoming. If you want high-quality food that feels like it's straight from the streets of Lahore, this is the place!

It's a mom & pop shop so nothing super fancy, but well-kept. 2. Food (4/5) Babagannoush (APP, 5/5) - TAKE. MY. MONEY! Man I love me some good baba and this was exceptional. Velvety with great mouth feel and lovely smokiness this was so good w/ their table bread Turkish Ravioli (Manti) (APP, 3/5) - Chewy little nuggets w. yogurt filling, it was pretty enjoyable though my colleague gave ma "Meh" since she makes them at home and probably has high bar. It was good for maybe the first 3 or 4, so perhaps better ordered for larger groups. Shepherd Salad (APP, 4/5) - Fresh, bright(as in vinegar), and herbaceous, we added feta cheese to it and it was perfect balance to our entree. Kofte Kebab (MAIN, 4/5) - Not too dry with packed flavor of all the herbs & beef, I really enjoyed my dish. Went great with all the other accouterments such as slightly cinged wedge of tomato and onion slices, all frolicking on a bed of warm rice that had a nice bite. Adana Kebap (MAIN, 4/5) - My colleague had this one, and I tried a piece. It was juicy and had no hint of gaminess which is always a plus for lamb. 3. Service (3/5) - This being a mom & pop store, I think they're short on staff. Usually they're all in the back cooking, so you do need to be a bit patient to flag someone down. But I'm sure they're more attentive during busy hours. (We went during weekday) Overall, Hakki Baba is a solid turkish mom & pop shop that delivers on great authentic flavor at a reasonable price. In the sea of turkish restaurants in Cliffside Park area, this one is one of my favorite. Pay them a visit!

Trekking to Secaucus isn't easy, especially coming from Jersey City. But if you end up in the area,…read moreit's worth the trek to stop by Cumin n Eat for some great Indian food. We got here super early when the place was empty. We figured this is due to most Indians eating dinner fairly late (and it being a Monday on a holiday weekend), but we didn't mind. Ended up ordering the following: Mango Lassi: Yummy and not super sweet. Chili Paneer: Ordered this medium, but damn this had a kick to it. Was very good though and finished every bite. Mixed Veg Chettinad: Ordered this medium and this was also super tasty. Wasn't super spicy. Was very hearty. Ate this with a Roomali Roti. Also came with rice. We had enough for a meal's worth of leftovers. We spent around $50 (including 20% tip) for all of this. Pretty good deal for some great food.

The cashier was very friendly and efficient. - ""Dave's Not Chicken"" aka Cauliflower Sliders (4/5) - the ""slider"" is huge. The breading was crispy, but tasted more like paprika than acutal spice. - Chicken Sliders (4.5/5) - My friend got the chicken and loved it. - Heat Level: We both got 'Medium' and it wasn't spicy enough. Would definitely go up to 'Hot' or ""Extra hot"" next time. The portions are huge! We ordered 2 sliders each and one per person would have been more than enough. Not sure if they still have the Dave's Not Chicken, but would give it another shot.

overall I thought the food was good, portions were huge, and prices were reasonable…read more The restaurant itself is pretty simple -- don't expect a fancy dining environment -- but the food is definitely the main point here. We ordered Gol Gappay, lamb biryani, Gosht Karahi, and a naan. The Gol Gappay was interesting. Crispy shells filled with chickpeas and potato, with a tangy, salty, savory flavor. Adding a little yogurt balanced it out nicely. Definitely something different. The lamb biryani was around the low teens price-wise and came in a huge portion with plenty of meat. The lamb was slightly dry -- felt like it may have been prepared earlier and kept warm -- but still flavorful and within expectations for the price. The standout for us was the Gosht Karahi. Tender but slightly chewy lamb, very savory and well seasoned, with lots of large chunks of meat. It looks a bit pricey at first, but considering how much meat you actually get, it felt like a solid value. We packed up half of it and still thought the leftovers were more generous than some restaurants' fresh servings. The naan was massive. Good flavor, although it didn't have that super fresh-out-of-the-tandoor smoky char. Funny enough, reheating it in the air fryer at home made it even better. One thing to know: every dish here runs large, so this place is better with a group. There are parking spots in front, but not many.

It's unfortunate that I have to post this as I feel despite us voicing our concern (multiple times) in person with the staff and also on the phone when ordering take out, the staff is not trained and do not take certain dietary restrictions seriously such as food allergies. After having a child who suffers from peanut and egg allergies, whenever we have dined or ordered from here as of lately, we have politely asked for certain food not to be served together and prepared properly. After expressing this, the staffs answer is rude and with an attitude and us being told "ok i'll just put it in a separate plate" after it being cross contaminated and served. Then during a take out order when we called to alert that there is an allergy, to please ensure the food is properly handled and packed separately from egg-containing items, we were told (specifically by Jaspreet) it is already prepared and packed, so the best that can be done is taken out and packed separately instead of adhering to the urgency of the matter and re-preparing the food. Our child broke out in hives due to their negligence in the past and I fear that their inefficiency to understand the seriousness of this matter will one day result in legal action being taken against this establishment if God forbid someone else has a reaction or worse a Fatality. My post isn't intended towards the quality of the food, it is more so to be heard and create awareness on this matter as it seems this establishment can care less towards your health needs. Update: We were contacted by ownership (Ishrath) and accused of being in the wrong and were met with disrespect and advised not to come to this establishment anymore as they cannot meet our "crazy demands." We should have been heard out, which was explained to co-ownership (Sobia) a few minutes after my review was posted, that this wasn't a personal jab towards the establishment however has happened to us on multiple accounts, specifically from staff member Jaspreet the past two times in a matter of two weeks. There was no apology on the matter, just defensiveness in a "sweet tone." This is more so a validation that despite us voicing our concerns multiple times in person, it has fallen on deaf ears and it is unfortunate that we have had to go to such extremes as posting this to be heard. Since my post, we see the attempt to have our post buried, and quite frankly hope it made a difference, albeit they have lost our business however we know the restaurant will still thrive. Still wishing them the best of luck and hopefully prevents any future consequence on this matter.
