Halva Mediterranean Grill — Restaurant in Paterson

Very sad to say that you can't rely their delivery service.STAY AWAY if you want to eat. Everyone else who wrote similar experiences are 100% on point. We placed our order through Uber Eats at 730pm. Order was never updated. Called them around 840 pm, they picked up the phone, apologized and said the first driver got into an accident but our food is on its way. At 940pm we started calling the number and after few rings I think they just started rejecting the calls cause we were not able to get a hold of anyone. We will be going over there in person to see what's up. Will update after. Update: So at 10pm we ended up driving to the restaurant, this is very frustrating because we actually love the food and they have the nicest waiter working there. When we got there there was a teenager at the register, the son of the owner we found out. Totally unprofessional. We called the restaurant phone while we were in there and line kept rejecting. After he fiddled with the phone he said see there is nothing wrong it's ringing! He then told us that they sent their driver is 1 minute away from our address. No apologies, nothing! We asked him to cancel the order and went home frustrated just to find cold, soggy food at the front desk, delivered 2.5 hrs later from a place less than 10 minutes away.. this will be the last time for us from this place unless they get it together and have someone more capable...

It was my first time in this restaurant and the food was good. However, the owner’s attitude was on another level horrible. My friends raved about the beyran soup. I went ahead and order for two of us. We were waiting for the third person who was trying to find a parking for the car. We didn’t order for her until she come in. My soup was delivered while she was entering the restaurant. We order one for her immediately. But as soon as I tasted mine I didn’t like it and told them to cancel the last beyran right away. My friend would get mine. When we kindly asked if they can cancel the beyran this guy, whom we find out was the owner, gave us such a nasty look and said it is already ready. This beyran thing is a soup, it always ready for gods sake. Not only us but the gentlemen sitting behind us were also shock. They immediately got involved and said they could have the soup; they were going to order anyway. The soups is not the point, the owners nasty attitude was. The server was a nice guys tho. Would I go there in my next NJ visit? ABSOLUTELY NO! I will make sure to share my experience with my...

Regardless how many times I went, they always amaze me.

Kudos to their constant performance on food quality and taste. My favorite orders have the same taste every single time.

They have the authentic Turkish blue-collar restaurant theme.

Green salad, onion salad and ezme (sour/hot tomato salad) served as courtesy, free of charge.
