All the favorites are on the menu, and we tried the avocado hummus and special fries, beef kebab, shish tawook, falafel, and lamb chops - we were a large group. Service was efficient, and food was very good. Only thing that bothered us was that someone was smoking a cigar inside the restaurant and the host said nothing to them.
6. Syraan Restaurant and Cafe
Reviewed By MiouMiou
What a great find!! Five of us enjoyed an amazing meal here. We started with the Syraan Appetizer, a mixture of hummus, tahini, labneh, and warm pita bread. Everything tasted homemade, and there was more than enough on one plate for all of us. We all had the Syraan BBQ, which was a huge plate consisting of a kofta kabob, shish tawook, a shrimp kebab, meat patty, and one of the tastiest lamb chops I have ever had. Oh, there was so much food, but it was so good we could not stop eating.The waitress was friendly, and carefully explained all of the dishes that we were not familiar with. We were made to feel very welcome in the restaurant. All of the flavors were absolutely delicious, and next time we are in the Paterson area we will definitely come here again.

We were taken to this attractive restaurant as guests of a Lebanese couple who frequent this establishment. Upon walking in, one can admire the beautiful Iznik-like ceramic plates that adorn the wall, as well as the colorful glass lamps lit up. It was a late Monday night upon arrival so few tables were taken, but we were told that on weekends it's difficult to even get in.Our hosts ordered appetizers that filled the table. Hummus, eggplant spread, and a roasted red pepper spread were delicious with pita. Also an unusual oregano that tasted unlike anything I've every tried was excellent as we were shown to dip the pita into the oil and then the seasoning. The falafel with a sauce were plumb and most tasty, and an unbelievable fried dough similar to a Chinese eggroll that was stuffed with cheese was outstanding. We were losing our appetite before even having a main course at this BYO restaurant.I ordered a grilled chicken that was prepared with a unique marinate. It was accompanied by a special garlic sauce on the side that was a great combo. My husband' grilled lamb was cooked to perfection and tasty just as good. The grilled branzino looked wonderful, and all entrees were served with a choice of rice or mixed vegetables.The desserts consisted of two different custards, one with rice and a pistachio topping and the other plain with a cinnamon topping. The third dessert was a shredded filo dough topped with another type of custard all of which were excellent.I have no idea about the prices, as we never saw a menu. However, with such good food, service, and ambience, we will be back.

Took my kids to eat Middle Eastern Food for the first time and they loved it. My daughter usually sticks to beef so she had the beef shishkobob entre, my son and I had the lamb shishkobob. Meet was so tender, tasty and just the right size portion. My daughter tried the lamb and said next time she will order that. The hummus was excellent. My son grabbed a menu and said we will definitely be returning.

Best falafel in town hands down, chicken and lamb shawermah are good but they are nothing close to the true Middle Eastern shawermah style, the chicken shawerma is more like a chicken wrap with good garlic sauce.They have great specials, and most of the entrees I tried we excellent, the service is good and the staff are friendly.

All I can say is wow was this delicious, well-price, and satisfying! The hummus and shwarma are amazing! The service is really good: the waiters are very friendly and attentive to you. The outside patio is also an added bonus too! I would definitely go there again.

Dinner included amazing, soft fresh pita bread, olives, pickles and a salsa type thing. We ordered stuffed grape leaves and shared the meat platter. There was so much food! finish off with a mint tea and roll yourself home. We arrived about 4:30 pm on a Saturday and didn't leave until almost 6:30. They never made us feel like they wanted us to leave, it was a great meal to catch up with a friend!
