House of Platters

Excellent halal platters like the kind you find on the streets of NYC only better.
I had the combination lamb and chicken platter, the lamb gyro was very tasty, and the chicken was as well, the rice was a delicious long grain and had more of a curry tasting spice which was unexpected but if you like cuisine bordering on an almost Indian flavor, you’ll love it, if your taste runs bland, you may want to ask for extra dalad, maybe fries as a substitute (ask for price difference), the included salad was fresh and made to order.
I deducted one star for the simple menu where I would have loved to see a shish kebab option for fresh lamb and larger chicken chunks, maybe beef; but small menus mean fresher dishes.
The staff at night was great too, great employees.
I’d definitely return!

Had a rock in my lettuce, needless to say I will not be eatting there anymore. This is very unfortunate because the food is usually excellent.

Great food and great pricing. Good location with street parking. Order in ahead of time.

Ok, so clearly the people who are reviewing this place have never had a decent «platter» or «burger.» I was so excited that we finally have a platter/​gyro joint around the area, but I must say this is only worth it when your all out of options. The burgers and platters seriously need some more depth and flavoring and the prices badly need to be reduced. The drive to Juicy Platters in Fairlawn or New York (for real street food) is seriously considered before coming here.

I really enjoyed the chicken and lamb gyro platter. It was the perfect portion and included pita, a small salad with delicious rice. They gave more than enough of the sauce and the restaurant itself looked very clean. The man behind the counter was very nice and gave me a loyalty card. I will be back!

Comparable to the halal food trucks in NY. Lamb over rice is always delicious and platters come with a free drink. When you ask for extra sauce, they actually give it to you. Great spot.

Best Gyros around! Can’t be beat. I love this place. It’s cheap, the food is great and it’s open super late for those nights my husband gets home from work real late and we want to grab something quick and everything else is closed!

This place is literally as good as it gets. Now I’m not talking Tavern on the Green or anything, I mean real Halal food. My wife and I are fans of Juicy Platters, which is affordable, but pretty much fast food. We decided to go outside the box and drove 45 minutes round trip right before The Walking Dead season finale. Nonetheless, this food was way better than that cliffhanger episode.
We both go platters, she got lamb and I got mixed lamb and chicken. Both came with sodas I cannot express how amazing the food was and my mouth is literally watering right now as I write this review. I remember walking in there and talking to the left behind the counter how skeptical I was, and she told me that I’d be back… And honestly, I can’t wait to go back.

We got into NJ really late and needed some food on our way to the hotel. House of Platters was still open so we picked some up on our way. It was really good! We got the combo platter with chicken and lamb. Meat was well seasoned. Prices are decent, staff is friendly. Food was ready on time.

Gotta say, this place is great! You want a quick, delicious, decently priced gyro? You got it!
I liked how most of the street parking was taken up, but right in front of HoP it was empty, probably due to 15 min parking restrictions. There are a couple tables, but it’s not very big so I imagine a lot of people (like me) get it to go, so you only need 15 minutes.
I got a big taste lamb and chicken gyro that comes with fries. It was a really filling meal, made quickly, and the staff was very friendly. No cons to the experience. If this is the kind of food you like, this is a must try!

Absolutely love this place. Only thing ive ever gotten from here was the lamb and chicken mixed platter. Meat is tender, rice is cooked perfectly, and the salad adds the touch of green that the platter needs. Consistently good every single time.

Got a take out here a few times. The food is delicious and the staff is always nice and friendly. I like to douse my platter in the white sauce and hot sauce that comes with the order. So good!

oh my PLATTERS. Just– go here. I really don’t need to say anything else. If you’re not sure what I mean: the food is absolutely OUTRAGIOUSLY delicious. Just go… Just go now… right now, navigate to the directions on this Unilocal… now. You’ll thank me later.

I love the platters! I ordered the chicken and lamb with rice platter. The meat was well done! Needs better hot sauce though.
We came in around 630pm on a Sunday and the place was empty. Decent service; it wasn’t fast but we didn’t wait too long either. And the staff were friendly.
My favorite is still the Halal Guys because of their sauce, but this is a very close second.

House of Platters is HANDS DOWN the BEST CHICKEN AND LAMB combo spot in North NJ! Parking sucks and you have to drive in town, but this place trumps Juicy Platters! House of Platters is my new go to spot for chicken and lamb platters. Not to mention every platter comes with free can soda or bottle water! You’ve won me over!
I made my way over here last Friday after a chill cigar night with the fellas! While driving thru Paterson I second guessed if I should go… Boy am I glad I kept rolling thru the hood!
What to get:
— Chicken and Lamb combo with everything. What’s everything? Meat, rice, salad, pita and olives. OMG heavenly!
— Chicken and Lamb was phenomenal. Season wonderfully, every bite was a mouth orgy that kept ya coming back for more! I honestly think their meat is seasoned better than Halal Guys in NYC… Need to do further testing.
— Rice is amazingly seasoned like the meat.
— White is good, but not great. Halal guys takes the win here, but House of Platter still rocks out as the meat and rice is cooked and seasoned to perfection platter wise!
— Wings! Get em and mix and match your sauce. I had hot, honey BBQ and it was amazing. You can go mild if spicy isn’t your thing.
I can continue to write how dope this place is, but I must stop as I’m getting hungry and wanting a platter right now! Def check this place out and see who you prefer. Enjoy folks and see you there!

House of Platters makes the best burgers ever! I enjoy they burgers and gyros. The place truly doesn’t get enough credit! Simply the food is amazing and put fast food restaurants like Burger King and Checkers to shame!
I’m not going lie. The food is expensive. $ 6.41 for a burger and fries. But I’m not going lie, the burger is delicious.

Simple, flavorful Middle Eastern style food. The comparison with Juicy Platters in Fair Lawn, or the iconic Halal Guys carts in NYC, is inescapable. I had the chicken /​gyro platter which is my standard order at both aforementioned locations. The meats are extremely well flavored; in a head to head with Juicy Platters I’d give these guys the edge. As others have mentioned, the rice preparation deviates from the norm. I was a little nervous as it somehow just *looks* less appetizing than yellow rice varieties served elsewhere, but it turns out very pleasant and aromatic — other reviews are calling this Afghani rice which I can’t speak to, other than that it does have a flavor reminiscent of Indian rice dishes I’ve had.
On the flip side, the salad /​lettuce portion of the platter was not the greatest. Especially flavorless and wilted iceberg lettuce with a couple of drab olives off to the side. I realize this isn’t the centerpiece here but I’d rather they not even bother. The white sauce is fine, perhaps a little thicker or yogurt like than elsewhere. The red sauce they provide is a weak point, as far as I call tell it’s heavily Tabasco based — watery with a strong vinegar profile. I’d probably just skip it the next time around since their meats are so well seasoned anyway.
I walked in to order for take out and despite there being only two patrons waiting it took a good bit of time — nothing unreasonable but enough to make sure I’d try to order ahead next time.

Ordered from here last night while visiting my friends new house and her knowing how much I love juicy platters she suggested we order from here for dinner. We decided on ordering up some appetizers and a few different platters.
We ordered onion rings and fries, my boyfriend and I decided on ordering the chicken and gyro combo platter and so did our friend, his wife ordered the falafel platter. All the platters are served with long grain rice and a salad that you can opt out of if you’d like. The rice was different from what I’m normally used to along with the way the meat was cut into little cubes instead of the shaved meat.
I found that the falafel was just as good as juicy platters where I normally get my falafel fix from. In fact I think it was the exact same thing, which I was really happy about. The meat was really flavorful but I preferred the gyro meat over the chicken. The onion rings were delicious and had a nice crunch to them along with the fries.
They are not stingy with their white sauce or hot sauce which is really nice. Some other places don’t like to give you extra without a charge.
I look forward to coming back to their house and ordering from here on a regular basis.

House of platters:
So in my late teens friends and i would drive in NYC to get the Halal guys on 53^rd and 6^th. Now im my early to mid 20’s im old, washed up, lazy, but im a genius for stopping here.
Ive been to this place a few times and they are consistently awesome. I go with the lamb and chicken platter every time. The meat is always cooked right, not dried out or over seasoned, and they use long grain rice which is just delicious. On top of all this its 10 $ to eat.
I also recently got the bowl of hummus and it was delicious. A little kick but not over the top and very very creamy. Definitely worth it to buy and big enough to take home.
This place is actually in an area where i tend to frequent due to my favorite place to drink being down the block.
Definitely worth it to stop here

Chicken and lamb platter was delicious. Chicken was tender and the lamb (which at most platter carts is thinly sliced overcooked gyro) was small cubes which was a nice change as the lamb was soft and juicy.
Rice was also atypical as it was a flavorful basmati (almost Indian in flavor) vs the yellow rice you get at a cart.
White sauce was tasty and the red was a sweet heat typical of a Greek cart and not the hot red of a Halal cart. Both were good although (like others) I would have preferred a hotter red.
Daughter said her chicken gyro was good however it was leaking everywhere with grease. She actually threw away ¼ of her pita due to soggy grease soak through. Gyro came with fries which were tasty.
Place is small with roughly 10 stools facing the window outside and one four seater table. And aside from one take out order we were the only people there in the early 2pm time frame.
Daughter took a menu for delivery (they have a few mile radius including Willy P).
Next time I’m in the area I’ll be back; this was yummy!
