This is the best hummus and falafel I've ever had. Can’t wait to eat this again! ??
We stopped by, visiting from out of town. The staff were helpful explaining ingredients and options. We ordered two chicken shawarma platter dinners with Knafeh. We also ordered a chicken kabob which was superb. The chicken shawarma was so flavorful, the falafel was delicious even without the hummus which was also great, and the Knafeh was perfectly made. Highly recommend this restaurant for a delicious, flavorful and filling meal. Will come back if we are ever in the area again. If you're on the fence get a great meal here !
Delicious veggie combo falafel sandwich!!!
A familiar counter-serve setting with familiar shawarma and kabob that's just done really well. Grabbed the lamb + beef shawarma platter, which smelt and tasted so good, with juicy, tender meat that wasn't over-seasoned. I was taken aback by the sheer hunk of food in my tray, and despite how starving I was after a day of travel, this completed filled the hole in my stomach. I'm excited to stop by again when I have a shawarma craving. A great takeout option for what you get, at a very reasonable price.
Good taste of the sandwiches but not great for my taste . Also I didn’t like the bakulava at all because it was very soft and no crunch at all and it was plain sweet
I had very HIGH EXPECTATIONS from other reviews and was utterly disappointed. I chose this restaurant after seeing a number ofwebsites garnering this as a top Mediterranean/gyro establishment in Jersey City. This is only important because i made the attempt to eat meat again for the first time in 6 years and took a chance on Gypsy Grill. I ordered the Gypsy Platter. The chicken shawarma in it was okay (would only order again if desperate), and the Gypsy fries and falafel were good but everything else I had was terrible. The rice was dry and I hardly had any salad in my platter. The babaghannouj was disgusting, the spice ratio was not balanced and the consistency was not smooth as you would expect from a puree. I've never had babaganoush that inedible. The Fava Beans were also not great but no where near as detestable as the babaghannouj. It could have benefited from a little salt, and I eat most of my food without salt. For a place with a number of sauces the only ones that were not lacking was the white sauce, hot sauce and harissa, everything else had no a lot of spices and no flavor. I would not go back to this restaurant or recommend it to my friends. Maybe their meat is tasty, but I wouldn't want to subject myself to spending the money on the meat if everything else I'm eating with it makes cat food seem like a better option.
I haven’t been here in person, but I’ve ordered delivery a few times and it’s always good. I love the chicken shwarma and the servings or the hummus and pita are always huge and leave plenty of leftovers.
One ofmy favorite middle eastern places in Jersey City!! The staff is extremely friendly. The ladies at the counter are the sweetest people. Their Shawafel sandwiches are the best. Add gypsy fries and you have the best most filling meal. Very reasonably priced as well.
Good service and very flavorful food. My go to is generally the chicken shawarma. Tried the Hawashi the other day and that's good too, although a bit overpriced in my opinion considering the quantity.
I ordered the beef/lamb shawarma and it was really good. They know what they’re doing and the pita bread was stuffed with food and stayed intact. I’m not really a big fan of saucy sandwiches because the bread breaks apart but I felt they added the perfect amount of everything. And it’s halal.
