    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.

    Chicken Shawarma & Chicken Platter
    Rifah M.

    I ordered a small platter and felt I got a good amount of food. I got the chicken and the chicken shawarma and really didn't taste much difference between the two. But the chicken did have a good flavor to it. The sauces were pretty good. The garlic and tahini sauce were really good. Also got the white sauce on the side. The white sauce was ok in comparison to garlic sauce. And the hot sauce was a nice spicy sauce. Overall pretty good and tasty.

The complementary butter cookies were a delightful way to end the meal. Our server was attentive and professional. The interior is spotless, with minimal decoration, so nothing distracting.

Located in the heart of Cranford, this intimate yet homelike restaurant features a hospitable staff that takes the time to explain the menu, making the entire experience feel so warm and inviting. They offer a comprehensive menu ranging from lamb and chicken to shawarma, seafood , falafel, and so much more. Since they are a BYOB establishment, they will gladly open and serve your bottle for you without any hassle. For starters, we opted for the dip sampler, which includes pita and three distinct spreads. The Mouhammara is my personal favorite; it's crafted from red peppers with a pomegranate syrup that adds a hint of sweetness, while crushed walnuts provide an incredible texture. Next is the Baba Ghanouj, a roasted eggplant dip with garlic and tahini that creates a savory, slightly smoky, and velvety delight. Finally, it includes their classic homemade hummus, which is a classic and delicious choice. I love that you don't have to choose, you truly get the best of all three varieties. For our main course, we ordered the Old City Mix. It's a generous portion for two that typically comes with a garden salad and rice. I personally prefer the greens, so I swapped the rice for two garden salads tossed in a zesty minty vinaigrette. The platter features kafta, shish tawook, shish kebab, lamb chops, shawarma, and four falafels, all served on a bed of pita with tahini and garlic sauces as the finishing touch. Everything is remarkably fresh and seasoned perfectly. The falafel is crispy on the exterior and fluffy on the inside, the meats are grilled to your liking, and the salad perfectly balances the rich platter. I thoroughly enjoy this spot for both lunch and dinner and am even looking into their catering for my next party. Do yourself a favor and visit them soon!

I don't know why we haven't frequented this spot sooner (at least during trips back home), but EVOO is legit. Also NOTE - its BYOB (but there are even some places nearish by you can grab a bottle or 3 if needed). Our server was very attentive, despite the restaurant being fairly busy. For apps, we decided on the: Hummus - how do you properly judge a Mediterranean restaurant without trying their hummus, and this was creamy, decadent and served with some fresh pita. Grilled Calamari (with roasted red pepper, lemon, evoo, capers, red onions) - very nicely cooked, not rubbery at all Grilled Octopus (with roasted red peppers, fava puree, capers, onions, red wine vinegar, arugula, evoo) - if octopus is on the menu, I'm gonna have it. For my entree, I got the pan-seared scallops with cauliflower puree, quinoa, spinach, heirloom tomato. Loved it. Cooked perfectly, loooved the silky puree...just a solid solid dish. All in all, EVOO definitely deserves to be on the Millburn/Essex shortlist when looking for nicer places to dine out. Can't wait to get back and try some more of their menu!

It was a little on the salty side, but I think this is because of the pickles. I will skip those next time. I did appreciate the various hummus options they offer. They let me use 3 different types.
