“ Very good food the service is always great friendly staff highly recommend going if you're in the area! ”

“ this place is very popular I noticed, picked up rice & chicken, both are very tasty, I particularly love the flavorful rice, will try some other dishes next time :) ”

“ Hidden gem! Go to place for BBQ chicken in JC it has been consistently good and I ve been getting it for over 2 years now. It's a Togo place and parking is a problem. But you can always park in the gas station and pick up the food. ”

“ This is one of the very few places I trust ordering from in jersey city. Their food is just as good and as trustworthy as the one you make at home. The owner and his wife/staff will do their best to accommodate any special requests for ur food. Whether it is just a sandwich or a catering order for any event you may have. I have tried most if not all of his meanu. I wish they had delivery service then I would have be ordering from daily. Best BBQ chicken in town, never experienced dry ones as some here said. Gyros and all the middle eastern creations. Now they have a huge seating area for you to sit and eat ur food there. Myst really tey it. ”

“ Chef Rico is the best !!! He will prepare your food as desired .. My fav is the lamb gyro he cooks it on a BBQ !!!!!! ”

“ So glad I stumbled onto this place on Yelp. I have been living 3 blocks away from here for over 10 years and have ALWAYS judged this place by its appearance - a very small, limited market, therefore, I've never stepped in here once. All of that changed when I saw they had decent reviews. I went based off of everyone's recommendation and had the grilled chicken sandwich. Since I was super hungry, I ordered a chicken gyro too...BEST DECISION EVEEERRRR! Unfortunately, they didn't have a menu, to take away or on the wall so other available menu items (and prices) are of mystery, which is a bit of a turn-off. Everything tasted great but as one Yelper mentioned, they do take a while. Even though I called ahead, it still took a minute because there was only one man who takes the orders and prepares the food, all while having to watch the front of his store and tend to additional customers. Still, the food was worth the wait. Everything had a nice taste and flavor, just note, if you request and sauces on the side, double check your bag before leaving because he forgot to include my sauces. Also, the chicken sandwich isn't your typical chicken sandwich on a roll or hero, its actually on a pita, still, that definitely did not hinder the taste (only the portion and it's ability to fill you up depending on how hungry you are =D ). I have added a picture of the grilled chicken sandwich for viewing so you have an idea of what your buying. The gyro was really good too! I actually preferred it to the grilled chicken sandwich. It seems more juicy and had more flavor, probably because of the bread that they use for it - it's not your typical thick pita that some gyros come on and it's softer than the pocket pita bread used for the chicken sandwich. When I came here, I ordered 5 sandwiches: - 3 grilled chickens - 2 chicken gyro's - 3 cans of soda This all came out to $30.50. I did ask the price of the sandwiches, although I should have. But I figured each sandwich must have cost somewhere between $5.00 - $6.00 and the soda may have been somewhere between $0.50 - $1.00. Also keep in mind that it's very difficult to find parking, so definitely try to bring someone with you who can wait in the car. West Side Ave is a very busy street, especially near this restaurant. Definitely give this place a try, your won't regret it. I will definitely be returning especially considering how good they are and they're super close. -Happy Eating ”

“ Alnoor is the real deal. I eat Alnoor weekly. And for me, it's all about the grilled chicken! I have no doubt the other options are very good. I've had their falafel before and enjoyed it. But I keep coming back to that chicken. I live just up the street, and the smell of BBQ that pours out of Alnoor and fills the air is positively captivating. I used to get the chicken gryo, but we've started just getting the whole chicken (with extra hot sauce), which provides multiple meals worth of food for just $11. They've recently expanded to a larger space, and they stock an impressive collection of middle-eastern and Mediterranean groceries. It looks like they are selling more halal meats as well. They have more tables now, but this is mostly a take-out place. You can call ahead to save time. I've heard they are planning to add delivery soon. Rico (the owner) and his wife are wonderfully nice people, and clearly take great pride in their work. I was very happy to see them move into this nice, new space. They deserve the success. This is a place that does not disappoint. ”

“ I had heard a lot about this place and finally had the chance to check it out a few weeks ago. I got the famed chicken and a small rice. The guy (whom I presume also may be the owner) was super friendly and gave me a card, advising me to call in advance next time to save some time. When I got home, I found the chicken a little on the dry side, although the skin was still wonderfully charred. The rice was like a much better version of Rice-a-Roni, like a pilaf with little bits of fideo (those skinny noodles; not sure what the Middle Eastern term for it is). However, it benefited from a few grinds of salt and pepper. I had expected awe-inspiring chicken and was admittedly disappointed. Despite this, I knew I had to give it another try, because of the rave reviews. I figured maybe I came on an off day. And so, I returned about a week ago. I had a craving for shawarma but, once inside, found myself trying the grilled chicken again, as well as falafel. The same guy was working and was just as hospitable as before. This time, I got extra hot sauce and white sauce on the falafel, as well as hot sauce on the chicken. Again, everything was cooked to order but didn't set me back more than five minutes or so. This time, the skin had the same wonderful char, but the meat was super juicy and flavorful. The hot sauce reminded me of Carolina-style barbecue sauce, thin and vinegary, but with a touch more heat. The falafel tasted fresh and the accompanying sauces were perfect without overwhelming the taste of the falafel or the salad. *This* was what I'd been awaiting and was happy I gave Alnooor another chance. Based on my second visit, I will definitely come back, especially to try that shawarma. Parking is usually pretty easy as long as you aren't being lazy and demand a spot right in front of the restaurant (there aren't any). Also ignore the looks of the neighborhood because it's really not that bad. And one more FYI, most of the times I've seen online are wrong: the guy told me he opens every day at 2 pm. ”

“ The food at AlNOOR is soooo tasty. And they have a great selection to choose from every time we go to eat there. If I'm not getting a gyro with the zesty hot sauce, ill get a whole chicken and just enjoy that BBQ taste with some fries and a desert if i have any room. The middle eastern sweets are amazing as well. The owner and his wife are very sweet people as well. Consistency, great tasting food that not anyone can make as PERFECT as they can. Hands down, Best chicken and gyro sandwiches in the Jersey CIty/Hoboken area. Chicken gyro is sooo good, sooo tasty and full of chicken. The original gyro is amazing as well. BBQ chicken is the best I ever had. Then they also cook various Egyptian dishes daily: macaroni béchamel: bechamel is a white creamy sauce, they mix in pasta and ground beef... sooooo good Mulukhiyah w chicken Lamb chops by order..... amazing Stuffed grape leaves, stuffed peppers and egg plants called mashie, filled w rice, ground beef and whatever else makes it sooo tasty... also other traditional egyptian meals.. sides are good as well.. from pickled veggies, soups, baladi salads.. Egyptian food is tasty w many healthy choices as well. Falafel is always on POINT. They also carry a beverage called Brazilia. Must try. Cant find it anywhere else. Anyhow, place is good. not too much room to sit down but its usually not too packed because most people call in there order and pick up. Mostly Take-away orders. FYI, if the gas station isn't too crowded I usually fill up and pick up my order from across the street. Enjoy! ”
