Beyond Soul Restaurant

Beyond Soul was BEYOND PERFECT. All food is zabiha halal, flavorful to the max, soft, tender and juicyyyyyy and the owner is super sweet. The spot is inside a supermarket and there is one large table to enjoy your meal albeit a bit low but hey the more hole in the wall a place, the better the food and the food was indeed mindblowingly good. The BBQ ribs were cut up into pieces which made it so easy to consume and the meat was tender and soft. This was a chunky cow thank god because there was plenty of meat on the bone. I usually hate fat and always take it off but I ate it ALL because it was all just too delicious. It was melt in your mouth and I didn’t mind its presence one bit. The BBQ sauce was actually perfect, not too barbecuey and not too sweet. Excellent. Excellent. This Mac and che

I have ordered from this restaurant at least 20 times. I don’t want to say it is expensive but it’s definitely five star. I feel as though if you want good food, then you have to be willing to pay for it. But I also ordered through DoorDash, and those fees are over the top. However, I’ve never not been satisfied. I have three kids and two of them are picky eaters. However, everything we’ve ate from here has been amazing thus far. I recommend the lamb chops the yams, the mac & cheese, the greens and the cabbage. Even the cornbread was good. Oh honestly, I did not like the peach cobbler. But that’s because I also bake. Lol the turkey chops with the smothered gravy was top-tier!! I come from a family of cooks and it’s very hard for me to find decent food in New Jersey or Essex County. But thi

Beyond Soul is a hidden gem in Newark. The menu has all the souls food classics and the prices are decent.

I’m from New York so moving out to Jersey 4years ago I have never been able to find a good soul food place came across this gem from Instagram raving about it and baybeeee NOT ONE LIE HAS BEEN TOLD. My go to is the fried fish which is well SEASONED, Mac n Cheese, yams and their fried chicken. Pricing is reasonable and they have fish deal Fridays. They been keeping me broke this week due to my laziness but it’s all worth it… they will be catering a few things for me during the holidays….

Came in with a party of 14 right before closing and they still welcomed us with nothing but kindness. The food was amazing, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What stood out even more was the customer service. The owner was incredibly kind, checked on us personally, and genuinely thanked us for choosing to eat there. You could tell they truly appreciate their customers and take pride in what they do. It meant even more knowing this is a Black owned business that deserves support. If you’re looking for great food, real hospitality, and a place that values its community, Beyond Soul is it. I’ll definitely be back.
