Alloush

Excellent shawerma !!! Love this spot for great Palestinian food… but wait
ITS CLOSED! another great spot gone. The owner needs to open in Bergen county — would definitely make a killing a little closer to the bridge!

Decided to go there today because I have been craving a falafel sandwich since i moved back to Clifton and I didn’t want to drive to Beyond Pita in Montclair to get one. There’s a sign in the window stating that it has the best falafel in the area. Couldn’t beat that right? Ordered the falafel and based on a previous entry, I decided to get the Alloush special shake. Sooo good, it was 5 bucks so it better have been. 5 stars alone for the shake. The falafel wasn’t what i expected. It was in a handy, long wrap, not sure of the bread type. There was hummas and onions, not used to having that in my falafel. Did i get the right order handed to me? ha. It was just ok to me. i don’t think i would go there to get another falafel. Would go back for that shake tho. This place is cash only.

Delicious sandwiches.

At first glance you’d think Alloush was your typical falafel/​shwarma joint in Paterson amidst all the others. But alas, it’s not.
If all other Middle Eastern take-​away joints were like McDonalds, Alloush would be the Sonic or Jack-​In-​The-​Box of Middle Eastern «fast food».
The falafel is amazing and their tahini sauce is PERFECT. When I’m back home in Queens, I make sure to take a lil drive across the GW so I can hit up Alloush.
