Grill 36 - Belford

Grill 36 is the perfect place to fulfill that Mediterranean craving you have. The place is owned and operated by a very nice Egyptian man. So all there food has an Egyptian flair. IT'S DELICIOUS! Change is good, and it's time to try something new. Go to Grill 36, its a great place to eat, and it's BYOB. ?Kid-friendliness: There are equipped with high chairs and are very kid friendly with a kids menu.

On the way home from the Belford Ferry, we decided to stop at Grill36, a little spot right off of route 36. What a wonderful surprise! The decor is cute and comfortable, the service beyond friendly (thank you Sean and Phil), and the food delicious.The mixed appetizer platter was enjoyed by all, particularly the falafel. Our skewered chicken and lamb and gyros were all super tasty.To top it off, we had an amazing dessert of spun pastry and ricotta- Kunafa. It was everyone’s favorite and quite unique. But make sure to order it early in your meal because it’s made fresh and takes some time.

As frequent visitors of Middle Eastern restaurants in Paterson, we were hoping to find a place closer to home with a similar quality. Unfortunately this place didn't meet those expectations. The lentil soup was bland. The yellow rice was not yellow. It was basic white rice with some seasoning making it a pale brown color. The lamb gyro seemed to be lamb chopmeat with seasonings chopped into smaller pieces. Gyro meat cut from a skewer is by far a much better tasting meat. The chicken gyro was covered in seasonings and had a good flavor but again it was chunks of cubed chicken, not cut from a skewer. The falafel was fresh and tasty. The food was okay but if you're looking for authentic Arabic food take the trip to Paterson instead.

I can’t believe I’ve been down here 5 years and haven’t ate here before. I’ve been so disappointed with the food scene here in the Middletown area when it comes to cultural foods. I moved down here from Jersey City and am spoiled when it comes to good food. This place is awesome. The gyros are the best I’ve had anywhere and the rest of the menu is just as good. Thanks for the refreshment of being excited to order food again. I’ve never called a place to compliment their food before but I wasn’t even done the first meal and picked up the phone just to let them know how good it was!!!

Grill 36 is the absolute best food in town. The food is always so fresh and so full of flavor and the portions are great for your money. Some must try items are the Kofta and the spicy hummus!
