Serving Midland Park
A neighborhood Turkish grill, a quick hop from Midland Park
Midland Park is just a short drive from Origin Mediterranean Grill & Lounge, making us one of the handier spots for real Turkish cooking nearby. Our charcoal grill turns out hand-minced kebabs and generous mixed grills, and our mezze is made fresh through the day. Getting from Midland Park to North Haledon takes only a few minutes, so Origin fits easily into a weeknight as well as a weekend out.
The convenience comes with the full Origin experience. All meats are halal, we are BYOB with no corkage fee, and our covered open-air Garden is the place to settle in for hookah after dinner. We are open late, seven days a week, so a table that starts late can comfortably stay late.
Only about 13 minutes from Midland Park to North Haledon.
