Aleppo Restaurant

Mapping New York City’s Best Lamb Dishes - Eater NY

"Paterson, New Jersey, a short ride away on the bus from the Port Authority, is a hotbed of Syrian, Lebanese, Turkish, and Palestinian restaurants and bakeries. One of the oldest and most elegant is Aleppo Restaurant, serving the food of one of Syria’s largest cities, hard beset in the current conflict. Its cuisine is a wonderland of lamb, including the signature Aleppo kebab, ground meat laced with tangy, hot Aleppo chiles and cooked over charcoal. It’s served with polished rice, a flatbread, and a small bowl of Aleppo chiles." - Robert Sietsema
