Kan Zamaan Restaurant

I had the pleasure of dining here and tried the Mansaf.
The taste is truly authentic, and the meat was perfectly cooked, soft, and melted in my mouth.
The environment was relaxing and had a unique feel that made the experience even better.
This is hands down the best Mansaf I've had in the US.
Highly recommend!

On a mundane Paterson street, the restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the second you walk in you’ll feel like you’ve been transported into the private leisure chambers of a king from the Middle East.
With vivid colors, lamps, and music bouncing off the walls, you’ll want to spend hours lounging in the comfort of this beautiful restaurant. For as imperial as the interior decor is, the service is not: in fact, it’s actually BETTER than royalty because it is the kind of genuine hospitality you can only find in a loving, family home.
The way the owner was talking and treating me, it was like I was his long lost cousin.
He quipped and bantered with us like we’d know each other for years, an easy smile on his face.
“Pay later, enjoy the food first,” he said after we’d placed our orders at the front.
“Are there any sugar free drinks?” I asked.
“Water,” he replied, without missing a beat.
We all laughed while he went searching for my beverage. The owner personally brought out our food and even poured the sauce for the “Mansaf” on top for us.
We feasted like kings, with the owner continuously checking in on us.
If we couldn’t decide between two menu options, he never got irritated.
He smiled and gave us both! As for the food itself, the “Mansaf” is legendary.
Along with the tender portions of lamb resting atop a bed of roasted almond slivers and fragrant rice, make sure you don’t forget to douse the platter with the special mansaf sauce.
The savory, creamy, and warm sauce will make your mind melt with pleasure. The “Chicken Mandi” is a wonderfull roasted, savory chicken dish on more rice with roasted almonds.
It comes with creamy yogurt sauce and cucumber salad.
Definitely also a must try. I’ll probably find any excuse to drive up to Paterson now.
“Kan Zamaan” is every bit as impressive as the sound of its name implies.

Coming here feels like going to visit family.
The food is always guaranteed delicious and the service is top notch.
The mansaf are the best ever but really every single thing consumed is fresh, tasty and worth every penny.
