    Small Chicken Platter
    Keita N.

    Walked in and saw freshly grilled chicken being prepped. Ordered the small chicken platter with peppers and onion. Wasn't too much rice and a plenty full of chicken, just how I like it. Their portion of white sauce was very generous and the service was nothing but kind. The atmosphere was very clean too. 100% will come back for more.

    It's all about the white sauce baby

    Their platters are so freaking good. My favorite is mixed with extra white sauce and and extra pita. We tried the chicken shawarma...it was ok but I'll stick to my usual.

    Pleasant experience here. The lady's customer service is pure with no intent to change depending on the tip. She explained things well too. This store participates in upside and points accumulation offer by creditcards which is pretty neat. Their Mediterranean foods are good and fresh as well. Accepts credit cards. High chair available. Clean and organized place. Ample of parking. See images for reference.

    Decently quick service at this nj location and is it the original truck quality? It comes so very close! This is our rainy day or winter tired comfort meal. Spacious in location, the restaurant appears clean and all napkins /utensils fully stocked without fuss. With 14 years of experience, the meat platter comes abundantly delicious. The service is quick, and usually very polite. once they gave me an incorrect order with items missing, but we're generally very kind about it. I am dedicated to the Halal guys and love their food not only as a New York City moment, but has an East Coast affordable standard. The food is well spiced and filling. Their white sauce feels decadent and the hot sauce packets will sear your taste buds depending on your personal chemistry. I've loved this meal for well over a decade and I'm so glad that they also deliver.

    Super friendly staff and fast service. I've been a Halal Guys fan for years and the chicken platter never disappoints. Can't help to douche my meal with white sauce. Haha

    Order: - Small Chicken Platter (5/5) - Regular Combo Platter (5/5) Pros: - Restaurant version of the infamous halal cart in NYC - Great tasting food - Quick service Cons: - More expensive than the same platter at the original cart Overall: Who doesn't love The Halal Guys?! While it is a bit more expensive than the original cart in NYC, the store locations serve up just as tasty food!

    I have been going to the trucks in NYC since 2004 and this is the first restaurant I've been to in NJ. I must admit I prefer this over the trucks. Although the experience isn't the same as going up to trucks but the portions are better and did not have to cross the bridge to satisfy my cravings. To me, it actually tastes a lot better than the trucks in terms of freshness. Just getting to this location is kind of tricky since 22 is pretty busy but can't complain because getting to NYC is busy and parking is too.

    After going to the carts my entire life, I started coming to this location when my cravings kicked in to stay local to jersey. While my first few experiences at their "restaurants" weren't so impressive, the last time I came here the platter was as delicious as I remembered it to be out on the street. I ordered a regular sized combo platter which is the larger size of the two options. The gyro meat was hot and perfectly charred on the outside and the lettuce was crisp and pita was fluffy. The chicken and rice were solid, just as tasty as I remember and I doused the entire platter in white sauce and a few slivers of red sauce. For those who haven't tried Halal guys before, ask for their hot sauce sparingly because it's not your average hot sauce these little lines of sauce are lava. Glad I gave this location another try!

    For two millennia, Afghanistan, a landlocked country at the crossroads of Central and South Asia,…read moreboasts a rich and diverse culinary heritage. The country's cuisine reflects its multicultural history, with influences from Persian, Central Asian, Indian, and even Mediterranean culinary traditions. Though the food was served quickly, it wasn't made quickly. Rice, particularly long-grain varieties like basmati, is blanched for a day before it's cooked. Meats are marinated in carefully prepared concoctions for hours to ensure tenderness. Lamb shanks are stewed for hours each day. Never had Afghan food? You're not alone. There are only a handful of Afghan restaurants in NJ. Located at the Westfield Plaza off of South Avenue E, some of my colleagues decided on takeout as first-timers for lunch, which came recommended as the food tastes and feels like home from this family-owned and -run establishment. We called the order in for their family platter consisting of Ground Chicken, Lamb and Beef Kababs, Garden Salad, Brown Rice, Fresh Naan Bread, and a side of Potatoes with a red sauce and yogurt. Upon arrival at Famous Kabab Cuisine, my colleague and I were greeted by the owner, Ahmed, who has more than 25 years of experience in making fresh bread and kabob, and informed us of a 5-minute wait. The food remained hot back into the office, would feed 5, and have some for leftovers. The kebabs (ground chicken, beef, and lamb) were well seasoned, tasted delicious, and paired beautifully with the brown rice. Top that bread or kebab with the trio of sauces. A white yogurt sauce with dill is very reminiscent of tzatziki sauce, a vinegary green sauce with cilantro and pureed walnuts, and, for those who do want the heat, a red habanero sauce that should have come with a warning. Overall, one can tell the food was made fresh with quality ingredients. It is not cheap, but one gets decent portions, which we can recommend.

    This was my first time trying Afghan food, and it was absolutely delicious! I'm already craving the…read morebolani again. On paper, the bolani description doesn't sound like much, but it's a flavorful, fragrant flatbread stuffed with potatoes and spices. The additional dipping sauces made it all the more tasty. We also tried the kofta korma, which was a saucy dish of spiced ground beef patties that paired perfectly with rice. Can't wait to explore more of the menu. We ordered takeout but next time we'll have to stop by and dine-in.

We tried the Tikkaville sandwich and medium-spicy tenders, and both were good -- crunchy, spicy with a very manageable kick, and filled with tender, juicy chicken. There are a few areas that could make the food even better. The tenders have a dry, crunchy breading that tends to fall off the chicken, and since most of the seasoning is concentrated in the coating, the chicken itself can taste a little bland. The chipotle dipping sauce definitely helps. The Tikkaville sandwich has a great concept, but the tikka sauce could use some refinement. It leans a little acidic; I think a creamier, smokier, butter-chicken-style sauce could make the sandwich richer and much more crave-worthy. Prices are reasonable and the ambiance is nice, although you can constantly hear the fryer running in the background. It's a self serve concept so not much to report here. I really admire what Namkeen is trying to do -- it's a creative concept with plenty of potential. With a little more refinement and consistency, I think it could go from "good" to something you genuinely crave and keep coming back for.

Its English name comes from a Greek legend: Zeus had an affair with a beautiful woman named Io. When Hera, his wife, discovered his infidelity, she turned Io into a cow and created a horsefly to sting her on the rump. Io jumped clear across the strait. Thus, "bous" = "cow" and "poros" = "crossing place": Bosphorus = "crossing place of the cow." Located off of busy Franklin Avenue in Nutley, my partner, our friends, and I have decided on our dinner at this family-owned-and-run BYOB establishment, which has been open since 1995. A reservation was made for a party of 4 by calling their restaurant. Upon arrival after three years, we were welcomed by Nora, the owner, and made our way to a table by the piano inside, evoking a cozy, thoughtfully designed, upscale vibe with music playing softly. Their menu features Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. For starters, we decided on the Puffed Rill Pastry and Grape Leaves. Our main meal consisted of all lamb dishes (Lamb Shish Kebab, Beyti Kebab, Lamb Chops, and Lamb Sauté). Our food was fresh, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection, accompanied by a beautifully presented dish. Everything was authentically made with love here. Wish we could have stayed for dessert, as they looked amazing, but some of us were in a rush. It's definitely on the higher end cost but worth the taste. Our visit ended with a hug and a piece of candy.
