Serving Franklin Lakes

A Turkish grill and lounge worth the drive from Franklin Lakes

Franklin Lakes is used to a certain standard, and Origin Mediterranean Grill & Lounge is built to meet it. Our kitchen turns out the kind of authentic Turkish cooking you would otherwise have to drive into the city for: lamb shish off the charcoal, lamb roasted on the spit, and a mezze spread made by hand. The drive from Franklin Lakes down to North Haledon is a short one, which makes us an easy choice for a relaxed dinner that still feels like an occasion.

Order Pickup Reserve a Table

We pair that food with an experience that is hard to find nearby. Every meat is halal, we are BYOB with no corkage fee so your own cellar comes along for free, and our covered Garden is set up for unhurried evenings of hookah in the open air. We keep the lights on late, every night, so there is no rush to wrap up.

Roughly 18 minutes from Franklin Lakes to North Haledon.
