About Al Yamama Grill

Al Yamama Grill sits at 347 Lanza Ave in Garfield, NJ, and the moment you walk in you can feel the warm, inviting energy of a Middle Eastern restaurant that’s all about good food and good company. From the outside, you might think it’s just another spot on the block, but once you step inside, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and grilled favorites greets you like an old friend. I’ve stopped by a few times for everything from a quick bite with friends to a full sit‑down meal, and each experience feels laid‑back yet satisfying in the best way. Whether you’re craving comfort food classics or healthier options that still hit the spot, this place delivers with a menu full of small plates and hearty choices you can enjoy at your own pace. What I love most is how flexible Al Yamama Grill is with service options-if you’re in a rush, you can grab takeout or order delivery, but if you’ve got the time, the dine‑in vibe is relaxed and perfect for lingering over conversation and coffee. The staff always makes you feel welcome, which somehow makes the flavors even better, especially when you’re trying something new. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there’s always something worth trying, and the variety means you can come back again and again without getting bored. It’s one of those hidden gems where the food isn’t just about eating, it’s about enjoying the moment, meeting people, and discovering how rich Middle Eastern cuisine can be when it’s made with care. So if you’re ever in Garfield or just looking for a spot that combines comfort, quality, and authenticity in one place, Al Yamama Grill is definitely worth checking out-especially if you love places that feel like they’re part of the neighborhood rather than just another restaurant.

Randomly stumbled upon this Palestinian-owned restaurant, Al-Yamama Grill Shawarma Kebab, as we were in the area but, Alhamdulillah, the food was sooooooooooooo good. Ordered the family platter and my very hungry family dug in before I took my pictures so I got what I could! Even their white sauce was amazing! Definitely will be returning!

Our hospital always gets catering from here and everyone loves the food so much we just had to come in person to meet Karim himself. So much hospitality and because we showed genuine interest in the food and the restaurant, he made us feel right at home—asking our names, adding us on Instagram, giving a tour of the kitchen, telling us a little about his journey and it made the dining experience so much more enjoyable. He cooks the food himself over a charcoal stove (photo shown) to give AUTHENTIC flavor to his food and does everything possible so that his customers leave happy. Would definitely recommend!

BEST FOOD! BEST PLACE! When you come here you are treated like family, the chef is the owner so he makes sure you are taken care of. Highly recommend! We order the Yamama special grill for two. More than enough for us, we always have left overs!
