Tarboosh | Our Story
A Broadway table in Bayonne
Tarboosh sits on Broadway in the heart of Bayonne, serving Middle Eastern food that has kept neighbors coming back for years. It's an honest, welcoming place — the kind that feels like it belongs exactly where it is.
Part of the neighborhood
Tucked into Bayonne's walkable Broadway stretch, Tarboosh has earned a loyal place in the daily life of its community. Hundreds of guests have left their mark in reviews, and the sentiment is consistent: this is a restaurant people genuinely return to.
The food guests keep ordering
Chicken shawarma is the dish that comes up most in reviews, by a wide margin — the one guests mention first and order again. It's what people come for, and what keeps them coming back.
The falafel that got noticed
In September 2007, The Coast wrote that "the Tarboosh falafel ball is the best falafel ball I've had" — a line that still says something real about the kitchen's care. That kind of attention doesn't come from shortcuts.
A room worth sitting in
Patterned tablecloths, fez centerpieces, warm string lights, and hand-picked wall art make this a room worth lingering in.
