OR-I-GINMediterranean Grill & Lounge

Serving Wyckoff

Authentic Turkish dining, a short drive from Wyckoff

Wyckoff has plenty of comfortable suburban dining, but real charcoal-grilled Turkish food is harder to come by. Origin Mediterranean Grill & Lounge is the place Wyckoff families make the short drive for: hand-minced adana kebabs, slow-roasted lamb, and mezze prepared fresh every day. We are an easy run south on the back roads to North Haledon, close enough for a weeknight dinner and special enough for a Saturday celebration.

What sets us apart is the whole evening, not just the plate. Every meat we serve is halal, we are proudly BYOB with no corkage fee, and our covered open-air Garden lets you settle in for hookah under the stars once dinner winds down. We stay open late, seven days, so a Wyckoff table that starts at eight can comfortably run long.

About 15 minutes from Wyckoff to our door in North Haledon.

Why visit

Why Wyckoff loves Origin

  • A genuine Turkish charcoal grill that is worth leaving the neighborhood for, only about 15 minutes away.
  • Bring your favorite wine or beer from home with zero corkage, a rare perk for Wyckoff diners.
  • All meats are halal, so the whole table can share the mixed grill without a second thought.
  • Linger after dinner in the covered Garden with hookah, open late every night of the week.

Word of mouth

What guests are saying

The most authentic Turkish food in North Jersey. The mixed grill is enormous and every bite tastes like someone's grandmother made it.

We brought our own wine, paid no corkage, and sat in the garden for hours. The hookah at night is the perfect end to dinner.

Daniel M. · Google

Warm family service, beautiful clean dining room, and portions that feed you twice. Our new regular spot.

There is more to an evening at Origin than dinner. Explore the rest of what we offer before you make the drive from Wyckoff.
