Pide Lahmajoun - Turkish restaurant in Cliffside Park - 442 Anderson Ave #4, USA

Pide Lahmajoun had a combination of good service and food. We came here for dinner late at night, and it was a good place to try more Turkish food. Red Lentil soup was fresh and flavorful, hit the spot when I wasn't feeling well and creamy. The bigger meal we had was a Chopped Meat Pide. You see, this long entrée is coming out, and we were so impressed that it all was displayed well, and you knew part by part what you were eating. Recommended you can share with other people too. Waiting time didn't take long. The restaurant was small, however spacious. The servers were friendly and efficient. All payments were accepted, and the small parking lot was shared with other stores. You can find spaces around the area, too.

This was my first time trying Turkish food and I’m so glad it was at this restaurant! I got the Lahmajoun, meat lovers pide, and kunefe. Lahmajoun was perfectly seasoned. Pide was amazing as well— the crust was like a perfect crispy pillow. But what really stole the show was the kunefe - the wiry shreds were so delicate yet crispy, and the cheese was mild and complemented the sugar water really well. Overall it was the perfect bite. Not only was the food amazing, the service was fantastic as well! I told the server this was my first time having Turkish food and he took the time to explain the menu, his recommendations, and even the proper way to eat the lahmajoun! He was incredibly attentive and made sure to check in and see how i was liking the food. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

Food was really good freshly made, the cook was really nice and explained everything to us about what and how to order.

*Scroll to Bottom For Overall Score* Okay so this is one of the most authentic lahmachun I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. There are different recipes from different areas inTurkey (Gaziantep or Sanliurfa) so this might have a different taste then you are use to , (for all my Turkish peeps). My American followers you won’t notice the difference just know the taste can vary from region to region. Back to the review. So walking in the staff was super friendly. The guy greeted me in Turkish which was awesome because I am Turkish but for some reason no one ever can figure out that I’m Turkish until I speak it lol. So big points for that. The bread was made from scratch each order right in front of your face. There was two guys making it and they put the bread in the oven and everything was made to order. In Turkey, this is super hard to do. Making lahmachun is a skill. Almost as a trade. You would have to work as an apprentice to get into to the skill. These guys are masters. In Turkey they call them Ustas. They well deserve that title. Watching them make the bread (pide) from sratch was an art. We ordered the Doner Sandwhich, 4 Lahmacuns, and Kunefe a Turkish desert made with shredded filo dough and cheese ( it’s my all time favorite). Didn’t try the pide but it looked amazing. If you are ever in the area do not hesitate to walk in and pick some stuff up to go or even dine in. Lastly, don’t forget to order a Turkish tea. It just pulls the whole thing together. To my guys at Pide Lahmajoun, eline sağlık…(god bless your hands). My Overall score would be an 8.6. I’m sure you’ll never find a place quite like this one. Till next time Osca Lobsta Out!!

This is an authentic turkish place! We got the lahmajoun, chef's special pide, lentil soup and topped it off with kunefe. Everything was perfect, crispy lahmajoun and the seasoning was the way it should be. The kunefe did not disappoint. This place definitely deserves 5 stars.

It was in my list of Turkish restaurants that wants to try. I was planing to eat Lahmacun, however when I see their pure meat Doner (not Gyro), I want to give a shot. Before Doner, i had a Mercimek soup. Then the Doner, it was good.

I really like going to this place very friendly people I love the food here it’s a mix of tradition great service every time I come here Very recommend this place

This is my second time eating here. First one was long time ago (I don’t live around) for Ramadan dinner. This time was for lunch. They have good soups and good pide. I had kelle paca (lamb head meat in a broth) and kusbasili pide. Both were delicious. My sons had red lentil soup and pastrami pide, they loved it. Owner and workers are very friendly and always pay attention to the table. This place is far to my home but if I pass by again definitely would stop either for eat-in or takeout.
