Al-Mazaq Restaurant & Bakery

Delicious food, and most important is it is all authentic iraqi food. Staff is super friendly and everything is fresh. We have been returning customers for years, this is definitely a great choice

I had such a beautiful experience at Almazaq Restaurant in Paterson! From the moment we walked in, the service was incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive. You truly feel like family there. We ordered a variety of dishes and every single one was delicious and full of authentic Iraqi flavor. The falafel was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside, the kuba was rich and flavorful, and the dulma was seasoned to perfection. The Guss (Iraqi shawarma) was juicy and packed with flavor, the chicken tikka was tender and perfectly grilled, and the mix grill was generous and beautifully prepared. We also ordered the fresh mint lemon drink, and it was so refreshing — the perfect balance of sweet and tangy! To make the experience even more special, they surprised us with complimentary swee

We drove from Manhattan to this location in the snow and felt more than glad to have discovered this amazing gem! This is seemingly a family-owned restaurant of beautifully well-raised Iraqis who prepare authentic Iraqi food and deliver the best Iraq-like experience in the Tristate area. The food was great and the Iraqi tea was superb. So much so, that we’re attempting to replicate the experience at home just a day later… I wish they had a branch closer to the City, we’ll definitely be back for more soon—thank you for a wonderful experience! All the best to you and your family:)

came here a few days ago while visiting family in jersey. i was told to come grab some delicious bites by an iraqi friend of mine who dines here when visiting and he’s from upstate new york. i’ve been wanting to visit for so long but never got the opportunity to. finally i got the opportunity to go with two of my cousins one who is super open to trying new cuisine. i am middle eastern and never had iraqi food before so i was super excited! we started with the eggplant salad which was really good! we also loved the two different kinds of bread they offered and the mixed veggies they serve to have before the meal. i ordered the iraqi kebab which was delicious with rice, my one cousin got the ouzi which was delicious and tender and falling up the bone, the rice was fantastic.my other cousin

We met friends here for lunch and tried everything from the breakfast menu, plus a couple of soups - absolutely delightful! Worth the trip off the beaten path, highly recommend.
