Fattal's Syrian Bakery 975 Main Street, Paterson, NJ 07503

"This is one of the best Middle Eastern supermarkets I have been to in the U.S. It is remarkable how clean and orderly it is. There is a huge variety of products and all are well priced. The shawarma tasted great."

"DO NOT GO THERE FOR JEWELRY! I’ve purchased multiple times before and the people were kind/helpful. However, I will never support this business ever again. Please take your money elsewhere as there are many options nearby. The man working there was extremely rude. I asked to see a pair of earring and a necklace and he gave us an attitude and told us to “make up our mind, etc” and rolled his eyes. He didn’t even help us for 2 minutes, so I don’t understand why he treated us like that. I gladly spent my money elsewhere. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE customer service skills from the jewelry side. Please learn to respect people, as a customer I was extremely disappointed."

"If you're looking for Middle Eastern groceries, bakery, fresh produce, and meat products, then this is the place to go to. The place is spacious, with a wider variety of selections, and there's plenty of space to park your car too."

"I had Fattal's bookmarked for a while. It caught my eye because I had never been to a Syrian Bakery before. But it's SO much more than that. We stopped by on a Saturday at around 3:30 after visiting the Paterson Great Falls, so we decided to check this place out since we were already in the area. I am so glad that we did. It definitely was not what I was expecting. I thought it would just be a small bakery selling some sweets and freshly baked breads. But in actuality, it was like a little Middle East. I felt like I was instantly transported back to the UAE. In the front is a supermarket selling produce, meats, dried goods, frozen foods, snacks, and drinks from various Middle Eastern cultures - and the prices are very reasonable too. In the back is a mini food court where they sell entrees, gyros, freshly baked lahmacun and manakeesh, and lots of sweets. Even though we had already eaten, we couldn't resist getting a gyro. The meat was a little bit dry, I think because it was already sliced and waiting at the bottom of the pit. I'll try the chicken next time and definitely the lahmacun. If you swing a left from the food court, there's a whole operation with a machine making fresh pita, which was just mesmerizing. We ended up getting two packs (za'atar and poppy seed/onion) and it was so good. I can see why it's so busy here. They have everything. There's even a stall selling gold! I'll need to make a return trip soon to get some more pita. So happy I found this place!"
