Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Parlin

Incredible food, high quality version of lebanese classics with a slight twist

Devin is the best! Amazing food and drinks. Rob, Sean and Ben at Sleighlow also killed it. You guys are the best!

What a wonderful experience my sister and I had. Food, service and ambiance were great. We had the dip tower, manti, duck burek, filet skewer, rice and brussel sprouts. Everything was superb but the duck burek was so special and was made with such finesse. Will definitely be back!

Sherif was really great and the staff who seemed to work with him were caring, attentive and great at their jobs. Balade really went far to make people feel happy at Christmas. The only challenge (often in small restaurants on holidays) is the outrageous number of undisciplined kids, out way too late, and dogs now. It's too much and next time I won't go there on a holiday. If I have a dog sitting next to me, I'll graciously ask for a check after the first drink and go. I love dogs, but they do not belong in restaurants unless it is outdoor seating and people put restaurants on the spot with this act of absolute self-involved entitlement. This is the rude world we live in now however. My only concern and it didn't ruin our meal only because the staff was so completely great and I was distracted with the wonderful vibe.

Friends recommended this place and it did not disappoint! Went on the Thursday before Labor Day weekend so everyone was out of town and it was nice and quiet. Our waiters were terrific, we weren’t rushed at all and spent 2.5 hours with our group. I had the octopus main and it’s top 3 I’ve ever had. Would def go back!
