Serving Glen Rock
Charcoal-grilled Turkish food, minutes from Glen Rock
Glen Rock sits an easy drive from Origin Mediterranean Grill & Lounge, where the focus is honest, authentic Turkish cooking. Think lamb shish off the charcoal, lahmacun fresh from the oven, and a mezze spread prepared by hand each day. The trip from Glen Rock to North Haledon is short and simple, which makes Origin a comfortable choice for both a casual weeknight and a get-together with friends.
We give Glen Rock more than just a meal. Every meat is halal, we are BYOB with no corkage fee so your own bottle comes along for free, and our covered open-air Garden is the spot to linger over hookah once dinner is done. We stay open late, seven days a week, so there is no pressure to hurry home.
Roughly 14 minutes from Glen Rock to North Haledon.
