Kan Zamaan Restaurant
Welcome to Kan Zaman! Where Heritage Meets Hospitality. Located at 247 Buffalo Avenue in Paterson, NJ, Kan Zaman brings the rich flavors, warm hospitality, and timeless traditions of Jordan and Palestine to your table. Our name, meaning “Once Upon a Time”, reflects our mission: to transport guests back to a golden era of authentic Arab dining. At Kan Zaman, we specialize in beloved dishes like Mansaf, Musakhan, Ouzi, and Mandi, each prepared with traditional methods and the finest ingredients—just like you’d find in a family home across Amman, Jerusalem, or Nablus. Every plate tells a story, from slow-cooked lamb over saffron rice to the aromatic blend of sumac, jameed, and roasted nuts that define our cuisine. Our space is designed to immerse you in cultural warmth—Bedouin-inspired decor, inviting seating, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes every meal feel like a celebration. Whether you’re gathering with friends, hosting a special event, or discovering Middle Eastern food for the first time, Kan Zaman offers a dining experience that is as memorable as it is delicious. Come taste the tradition.

Testimonials
★★★★★

I had the pleasure of dining here and tried the Mansaf. The taste is truly authentic, and the meat was perfectly cooked, soft, and melted in my mouth. The environment was relaxing and had a unique feel that made the experience even better. This is hands down the best Mansaf I've had in the US. Highly recommend!

Coming here feels like going to visit family. The food is always guaranteed delicious and the service is top notch. The mansaf are the best ever but really every single thing consumed is fresh, tasty and worth every penny.

Hands-down, best restaurant in Paterson if you’re looking for authentic Jordanian Palestinian food. The family owns the spot is always so nice and takes really good care of their customers. The food is amazing. Prices are great and the portions are huge. I prefer this spot over any other spot in Paterson
