Gypsy Grill, one of Hudson County’s greatest Mediterranean restaurants, opens Bayonne location

By Isiah Christie

Gypsy Grill, native to downtown Jersey City, has earned a reputation in recent years as one of Hudson County’s premier Mediterranean establishments with a particular focus on Egyptian cuisine. Having been around for over a decade, the location has become a fan favorite for locals looking to indulge in flavorful, ethnic dishes with a dedication to quality. And they have now earned the right to celebrate the opening of their secondary location in the bordering Bayonne, New Jersey, located on 489 Broadway.

The location asserts itself as a must-have within Bayonne’s culinary atmosphere, given that the city is still relatively new to Mediterranean locations. Gypsy Grill is part of many restaurants introducing a wider range of ethnic dining to the city, in line with its rapid residential growth and uptick in diversity. Such a new dynamic is certainly welcome among residents, and Broadway will now have another shop to bolster its resume.

Gypsy Grill is particularly known for its quality of dine-in eating, which is a family-friendly environment with timely reception times. Their food is cooked fresh and quickly by a team of trusty chefs, who dedicate themselves to providing authentic, realistic dishes. Some fan favorites include their Chicken Shawarma, Falafel, and Lamb Chops. They’re also known for their catering, which includes a variety of trays and packages that include hummus, falafel, sandwiches, and family value meals for dinners, parties and more.

“Gypsy Grill is the best Middle Eastern food in the area, hands down. The mixed shawarma gypsy box is a great deal and delicious. … [The] staff is friendly, service is great, and the food is fresh. You might even score some free falafel while waiting”, Kiki S., a customer from Manhattan, New York commented on the establishment. It’s safe to say that whether in Jersey City, Bayonne, or locations adjacent, Gypsy Grill serves as a standout dining option – and represents the everlasting Middle Eastern community of Hudson County, who deserve to display their rich history with such high-quality eateries as examples.
