Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Elmwood Park

My wife and I enjoyed the food during our trip to Morocco, so most of our group of six in our private room in Shalel ordered Moroccan appetizers and entrees. The food was excellent, taste and presentation, and good tangine is so aromatic. The desserts were wonderful, too. For people who don't know, some of the items can be spicy, if you're looking for that (or looking to avoid that), you should ask.

It was our first time dining in…the food was excellent and the service was great.We had a great time!!! Definitely will comeback soon.

What a gem of a spot! The hubby and I went on a Friday for lunch. I ordered the shakshouka pita, which was absolutely delicious! So flavorful and well seasoned. The hubby ordered the shawarma platter with french fries. He literally ate everything on his plate because he said it was all so tasty! We really loved that they set the table with a sample of assorted pickled veggies, pita bread, cole slaws, and dipping sauce. We both left lunch feeling stuffed in the most satisfying way. I must also add that we had a lovely server who was very attentive and polite. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the meal and can’t wait to come back!

This restaurant never disappoints. Outstanding food, great wine, knowledgeable, and attentive servers. Foul madamas, artichoke hearts, labenah, just some of my favorites!

The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Will go back for brunch.
