Halal food in Clifton, NJ
A search for halal food in Clifton, NJ usually splits two ways: people looking to buy halal meat, and people looking for a full dinner where they never have to ask about the kitchen. We're the second kind. Alaeddin's is a halal restaurant in Clifton, NJ run by one Muslim family from the corner of Getty and Crooks Ave since 1998 — 600 Getty Ave, the number a lot of halal-conscious households on this side of town already have saved for the nights the kids want pizza and the answer still has to be halal.
On this, trust comes down to how the kitchen is set up, not what the sign says. Ours is halal-only from end to end — one fryer, one deli slicer, shared prep tables, and nothing non-halal anywhere on site, so there's no cross-contact with the beef pepperoni, chicken, gyro, or turkey-bacon. Every meat is halal-certified, our suppliers run out of Paterson and Brooklyn, and we keep their certificates behind the counter for anyone who wants to read them before they order.
What Clifton is short on isn't halal food in general — it's a brick-oven pizzeria that happens to be fully halal. That's the narrow spot we've held for 25 years. If you're deciding where to get the best pizza in Clifton, NJ without trading it away, the case is the 550°F brick oven, the 24-hour cold-fermented dough, and the 4.4-star rating across 944 Google reviews — the same reasons families order on a plain Tuesday and book us for Ramadan iftars and Eid parties.
