The restaurant’s atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, with a simple but attractive dining table arrangement. The food is delicious and very tasty. The ribs and lamb are perfectly grilled, juicy and tender. The fries are also very flavorful and delicious.
InsyaAllah would come again whenever we’re in the States.

Kanoon in Clifton is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel right at home. We ordered the T-Bone Steak and Smoked Lamb Shoulder…..and wow, the meat was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with authentic flavors that transported us straight to the Middle East. The sides were fresh and perfectly seasoned, and everything arrived at our table hot and fast, even on a busy evening.
The service was top-notch…..our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and went out of their way to recommend dishes that hit the spot. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the whole experience left us stuffed and smiling. This is hands-down the best spot for kabobs and Mediterranean cuisine in the area. Highly recommend to anyone craving real deal flavors!

I recently visited Kanoon and tried three dishes: the Kanoon Meat Platter, the Mix Grill, and the Boneless Ribeye Steak. Out of all of them, the Mix Grill was definitely the standout flavorful, well seasoned, and easily the highlight of the meal.On the other hand, I wouldn’t recommend the Kanoon Meat Platter. It just didn’t deliver the taste or quality I expected, especially compared to the other items. We arrived around 4 PM, and there were no other customers at the time. While we were seated right away, it took a noticeable amount of time before we actually received our menus, which was a bit disappointing given how empty the restaurant was.That said, the atmosphere inside Kanoon is genuinely great warm, inviting, and nicely put together. Overall, if you’re in the area, I’d say it’s worth a one time visit, mainly for the Mix Grill and the ambiance.

My wife wanted to try out Kanoon, so we stopped by on a Saturday night. The place was moderately busy, and we were seated within a minute — a nice start.
Unfortunately, things went downhill a bit after that. We sat for about 5–6 minutes without getting any menus, so I ended up grabbing them myself from the front. It then took another 10 minutes before a server came by to take our order — only after my wife waved someone over.
On a brighter note, the ambiance is pleasant — the space feels a little tight but stylish and cozy, with a nice overall vibe.
Our food came out in a reasonable time, though oddly enough, our drinks showed up after the food. The meats and chicken were cooked well, and the portion sizes were generous — we couldn’t even finish our plates. The flavor, however, fell a bit short. Everything was decent but could’ve used more seasoning or depth to really stand out. We’d give the food about a 6/10 overall.
The surprise hit of the night was the chicken tenders, which our 4-year-old absolutely loved and rated an 8/10 (and she’s a tough critic).
In short: good portions and decent food, but slow service and not much flavor. With a few tweaks — especially on service and seasoning — Kanoon could be a much better spot.

The smoked beef shank, Kanoon special fries, and fresh mint lemonade were absolutely delicious—highlight of our meal! However, the smoked brisket prime Angus beef was really dry and lacked flavor (even though we were warned about the dryness, we expected more flavor).
Mixed grill was okay!
The Outdoor Seating could use upgrades—our table mats had holes, and there was a slight leak when it rained (though it was manageable).
Overall, some dishes make this place worth visiting, but a few tweaks (especially on the brisket and seating) would be great!

The brisket was absolutely delicious – tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The sandwiches were super juicy and tasty. On top of that, the entertainment added a fun vibe to the whole experience. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. I 100% recommend stopping by if you’re ever in Paterson. You won’t regret it!

I found paradise and it is here, at Kanoon!!!! I have not had bbq beef ribs since I went full halal, about 7 years ago.
A friend recommended this place because they had halal bbq. She suggested that we arrive hungry. We stop by, starving, on our way to NYC from Boston and we weren’t disappointed.
From the minute we walked in to when I was rolled out in a wheelbarrow (I ate too much), so much I was stuffed, we were treated like kings. Nidal our hostess was very cordial and attentive. She took great care of us.
The food was divine (allahisalmik). I ordered the smoked beef ribs and my son the smoked beef brisket. To a foodie like me, presentation is everything. The food made its grand entrance on a covered wooden tray smoking hot. The ribs were tender, moist, and falling off the bone. The brisket was good, but nowhere near the ribs. I loved everything about this restaurant and highly recommend to all.
Meat is sold by the pound, keep that in mind when you order.
I’ll be stopping by again

I found this place through Instagram a couple years back and I was finally around town to try it. I gotta say, I should have never came here with my hopes so high because they came crashing down like a landslide.
I don’t understand what people like about this place. Maybe how they present their food? We had the falafel sandwich, and the smoked beef brisket. The meat had absolutely no flavor besides it being smoked and tender. That’s it. Plain smoked beef.
As an Arabic person, I’ve had better falafel, and the hummus is a disgrace to even consider this place Arabic. It was watered down, can’t taste the garlic or the tahini.
The rice tasted like a failed version of Hispanic rice. Fries are frozen ready fries not fresh. Only thing that was good here is their lemon mint juice and hospitality.
We were here on Tuesday afternoon. Definitely not coming back, definitely wasn’t cooked with Arabic hands.

Food was very flavorful and goes perfectly with the side dishes. The smoked chicken is a must! My only reason to take a star off is they charge a hefty amount for using a card ($5 for a $67 bill), automatic 20% tip is crazy and no tap water, come on now. Other than that, I loved they were taking different food around and very nice staff. Would recommend, just needs some minor changes.

Sat night dinner. 2 people. Food came relatively quickly but wish it a hotter. It was about $65 per person (20% gratuity included automatically). We got smoked specials as atleast 4-5 ppl said they didn’t have a good exp there. My beef shank was tender and came w/o bone. Rib was nice and tender as well but I’d prefer the shank. Overall if wasn’t that bad but fries were a bit stale. Salad and drinks were good as well. I hope they can improve on those couple things to get better.
