“Had excellent takeout boneless chicken tikka, vegetable steamed momo (dumplings) and jhaneko dal. Peshwari naan was out of this world -- tender with a nice chew and beautiful aroma, stuffed with raisin and cherry.”
“Absolutely my favorite restaurant around. Food is always on point and service is always incredible. My fav! And don’t forget to check out there desserts!”
“I had the pleasure of dining at Esh Restaurant for the first time, and it was truly a delightful experience. The restaurant offers a wonderful Mediterranean menu in a beautifully decorated atmosphere. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted warmly and received amazing service throughout our meal. The food was exceptional! Each dish was bursting with authentic flavors and made with fresh ingredients. I particulary loved the hummus & flatbread selections, branzino with sweet potatoes. The sparkling water & cocktails were delicious. The presentation was also impeccable, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. The ambiance of Esh is captivating, with intricate décor and cozy lighting that transports you to the Mediterranean feels. The attention to detail in every aspect of our visit, from the decor to the service, truly enhanced the dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend Esh Restaurant for anyone looking to savor delicious Mediterranean cuisine in a charming setting with top-notch service. I can't wait to return! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Posto ideale da trascorre con la famiglia o in compagnia di amici. Ottimo menù e accoglienza fantastica.”
“My wife and I just ate here on Saturday night and had a fantastic meal! We both ordered the scallop, shrimp and crabmeat pasta dish which was the special. The service was very friendly and beyond outstanding. Jerry makes terrific cocktails! Smaller place so it can be a bit noisy when some patrons talk loudly. Our only disappointment was the desert we ordered to go. It was this very small sour cherry tart with hardly any cherries and it was overpriced at $15. Otherwise I highly recommend this Mediterranean restaurant.”

“We ate at Green Chilitos about 2 weeks ago and the food was excellent!! The young lady that waited on us was so nice and friendly, she asked if we’d ever tried the Horchata drink they serve and we told her no so she brought out three different types of drinks they make for us to try! I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a great authentic Mexican restaurant give Green Chilito a try it’s worth it!”
“We have been coming here for years and the food is always excellent. We love the Samosa Chaat and Chicken Tikka Masala! Their Garlic Naan is also outstanding. We tried their Gulab Jamin and Carrot Pudding for dessert and they were both delicious! Don’t miss Taj for awesome Indian cuisine!”

“I stopped here on a way to meet a friend and ended up just getting the small because it was almost a big as the large. So I took my pizza and OJ to go to meet up with my young friend. But when I got there there was some random dude there and he kept asking me all kinds of questions. Stuff like "what did you think was going to happen tonight?" and "Do you know what you are doing is illegal?" I was polite and offered him some of my delicious Plant Pizza pizza, pizza so loaded with toppings and cheese that you need to fold it in half to eat it, but he rudely refused. He made me feel like a bad person and I didn't even get to hang out with my sexy young friend. Then the cops showed up and long story short I won't be able to have any more delicious Planet Pizza pizza for a very long time.”
“Celebrating it's 75th year, Rawleys is a Fairfield County staple that serves up a flavor packed selection of all-time American favorites.
World famous for their Hummel Hot Dogs, Rawleys offers a massive variety of toppings including a pretty righteous, "Cincinnati-Style" chili packed with flavor.
All ingredients are locally sourced and everything on the menu is handmade and cooked to order.
The hot dogs are a wonderful option but don't sleep on the burgers and sides. The handpicked beef patties are well seasoned and perfectly cooked. I enjoy mine just dripping with cheese. The fries are hand-cut in house, and the beer battered onion rings are some of the best I've ever had; great onion to breading ratio. Looking to go all out Americana? Accompany your meal with one of the delicious milkshakes.
Rawley's Drive-In is open daily and open for dine-in and takeout. Definitely check out this family friendly legend.”
“I have traveled all over the United States/world. It is very rare that I find a small establishment that I would rate as a 5-star, I immediately noticed the cleanliness of both /Outdoor dining seating. This location does not offer savory menu; however, the sweet crepes & bubble/milk tea selections more than Make up for the needed addition. I was very pleased with the wholesome ingredients and the selection of additions onto the various crepes. As I am vegetarian, not into eating process food. The staff was very knowledgeable on some of the ingredients that I could apply to my order. They did make my crêpe to order, especially for my diet preferences. I was astonished at the amount of ingredients that went into each crepe, it was packed full And very flavorful! The ingredients are prepared fresh every day.(You can tell because they weren’t watery or seem like they had been sitting out). They were fresh cut and kept refrigerated at appropriate temperatures during the day until they are ready for use. The back was very clean, You do not find that in a lot of smaller establishments; however, this one is exception.(I do have hazmat certification with over five years of decontamination experience and OSHA compliance, so I consider this a valid observation on my part). The staff was very friendly and helpful, my crêpes were brought promptly to the table and served with a smile. As I said, I have traveled all over the world(Japan, Okinawa, Ireland, Mexico, Netherland ,Tahiti, Hawaii, etc.) and throughout the United States. I will definitely be revisiting this small, but very well run and welcoming establishment. Here is a wonderful job well done that you do not find around the United States as much anymore, let alone the world. Great job! I will be back when I visit Connecticut again and will look forward to leaving another review!
Dietary restrictions: I do have dietary restrictions, I do not eat meat. I do not eat process food , I only eat organic non GMO fresh fruit and vegetables, herbal tea and distilled water. Once in a while, I will splurge a treat myself I am so thankful that I found a business that could accommodate my dietary needs.
Kid-friendliness: I have traveled all over the country, I especially went to Connecticut to try this new location. I took my daughter and granddaughter for brunch, The staff was super friendly, always smiling, and my granddaughter had a wonderful time, super friendly!
Wheelchair accessibility: My mother who is wheelchair bound also came along, it was very easy for her to get into the restaurant, outdoor dining was wonderful because the weather was amazing. She thoroughly enjoyed the outing.”

“We went for brunch. Skip the waffle because everything else is so much more exciting! The quiche was amazing and the corned beef hash is *home made* with real fresh sliced corned beef. Poached eggs were delicate and perfect. We were left wanting nothing more! We're already planning our next trip for the main menu.
Parking: Not a lot of spots but there is a lot technically for the post office right next door.”

“i tried the fried mozzarella, burrata salad, truffle tagliatelle, and chicken parmigiana.
Everything was great, the chicken parmigiana was exceptionally good.
only thing the burrata was lacking some taste, but everything else was pretty much good.
Andres was extremely helpful and sweet with us.”
“First time diners at Blackstones and we will be back. Everything was perfect. Our server Roxanne was great, on top of everything and very personable. She made excellent recommendations on food and wine. Could not have been a more perfect experience. Looking forward to our next visit.”
“I have been to Sophie’s a number of times. I have always found the food and service very good and the manager a pleasure to deal with. Their pizzas have an unusually tasty crust and the toppings are very good and some quite creative. Their other dishes are also very good.”
“Had my future daughter in laws bridal shower this past weekend and had Layla cater the event. Layla went above and beyond for this event. The food was phenomenal! Everything was so fresh and absolutely delicious! Layla thank you so much for everything. Akram, you assisted me with total respect and kindness. I took some menus and everyone took one and complimented the food. They absolutely loved and really enjoyed all of it. Layla, can't wait for the wedding.”

“This is a nice rest stop McDonald's. The only reason I didn't give five stars for atmosphere is because let's be real how much atmosphere can you get at a rest stop? Other than that the food was up to par the service was good and fast so high marks from me. We stop at this rest area fairly often on our trips up and down the East Coast.”
“Overall great solid and reliable place, it is over every single hour of the week so you can always go whenever you please, it is truly something that should be everywhere, and the food portions and tastes are very good too.
Parking: It has its own parking space and it is free.
Wheelchair accessibility: Sadly not very wheelchair accessible yet.”
“Excelente comida y un servicio excepcional, el lugar es muy acogedor y el personal muy amable.”
“Yesterday I visited this establishment for the first time and was very pleasantly surprised. Upon entry I was struck by the bright and crisp decor. The place is immaculate and very inviting. Greek music is playing in the background. The large bar looks like a fun place to hang for happy hour. Our server, Maria, was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and genuine. The menu is outstanding. There are many fish selections. The lunch menu has entrees that come with soup or salad. The lentil soup is full of fresh vegetables and very tasty. I had the filet of sole which was outstanding. My wife had the grilled seabass which was very good although a bit plainer (healthier) choice. The portions were good size for lunch. All this for only $20 per person. We are looking forward to returning for lunch soon.
Parking: Lot in back”
“Once again last night you did not disappoint me. Food was great, Service was great, Drinks, well, Espresso Martini, I can drink them all night. I don't have a unpleasant thing to say. Was there with some friends of mine and their daughter who's back from school for a long weekend. No pictures of food, you know what your food looks like. Probably 50% cheaper than some of the restaurants a little further down the Post Rd in Fairfield Center that I drove by. I never feel rushed at your place. Thanks again for making a special night even more special.”

“Visited SDW last week for lunch with a chef pal who has several restaurants overseas. When he is Stateside, he always searches for staple foods done right. Gary and the crew delivered on all fronts. My go-to is the New Englander, and it never disappoints. My buddy had the Chicagoan and loved it. We both got a burger as well, which was cooked perfectly and impressively juicy. We were both taken aback by the hand-cut fries with S&P. We commented on how hard it is to consistently turn out such high-quality, short-order potatoes, and Gary gave us a detailed rundown of their process. After a lengthy discussion, including the merits of whole-belly clams vs. strips, Gary even gave us an order of hand-battered onion rings to try, which were also stellar. Super Duper is the real deal, from the menu to the people!”
“On a whim we pulled into this plaza after a round of mini-golf across the street at the Shelton Sports Complex. With intention of going to a Donut Crazy, Dave’s Gourmet Paletas caught our eye and we stopped in to see what was offered. What a pleasant surprise! Just delicious and different from a cup/cone of ice cream. The ice pops were perfect and happily overwhelming to decide on the right flavor combination! We chose: - Strawberry paleta dipped in chocolate, sprinkled in shredded coconut - Banana paleta dipped in cookie butter, sprinkled with strawberry crumbles - Chocolate paleta sprinkled with chocolate sprinkles. <—we have a peanut allergy and they graciously accommodated. Please stop by and enjoy, you won’t be disappointed.”
“Perfect spot for a quick lunch! Our meal today was a sausage and peppers calzone, 2 meatballs, and sweet chicken with macaroni salad. Nothing was left on our plates. The marinara sauce was savory, flavorful and I wish I could get a jar to take back to Texas! Thank you!!!”

“Amazing place!!! Wonderful atmosphere inside and in back. incredible food, amazing options - no kidding - perfect in every way!!!!”
“Absolutely love this place! Staff is genuinely some of the nicest people and their tonkotsu ramen is my favorite because of the sweet corn broth. Come up to Fairfield just for it! Pork baos are a good runner up too! Honestly have nothing to complain about. Awesome food and awesome service :)”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Today was my first time stopping in, and I enjoyed the Orange Power Smoothie which was refreshing and delicious! my friend enjoyed the Booster Smoothie. It was pretty hopping for a Saturday afternoon which was great, and it's important to support small local businesses and eateries these days. very thankful for the outdoor seating which worked out beautifully as today was a gorgeous day! I will be stopping in again sometime soon!🌞”
“The coffee was good but served so scalding hot that I burned my mouth on the first sip. Disappointing, as the quality was overshadowed by the carelessness in temperature. Still the best coffee I had in Fairfield.
Edit: went again today and coffee was on point, can recommend.”
“Here’s a warm and soothing review you can use:
If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Hyderabad, Spice Club is an absolute gem that you shouldn’t miss. My friend and I stumbled upon this restaurant on our way back from New York, hungry and craving something truly special. We ordered the Chicken 65 Biryani, Chicken Dum Biryani, Mutton Biryani, and Mutton Haleem, and every dish was a delightful surprise. The flavors were so reminiscent of the food I grew up enjoying back in my hometown, and I couldn’t help but feel at home.
It was even more special for me because I’ve been a loyal customer of Chutnis in Stamford since 2021. Sadly, I recently discovered that the Stamford location had closed. But to my delight, I found that they had opened a new branch in Fairfield under the name Spice Club, and I couldn’t wait to visit. It was definitely worth the wait! The food was as amazing as I remembered, and it’s clear that the same authentic Hyderabad flavors are being brought to life here.
Whether you’re a fan of Hyderabad cuisine or looking to try something new, I wholeheartedly recommend Spice Club. The experience was nothing short of fantastic, and I can’t wait to return for more. A big thank you to Spice Club for bringing such incredible flavors to Fairfield – it’s truly a treasure!”
“I ordered the mushroom swiss Burger with the garlic aioli. It is only $6.49 just for the sandwich. I've ordered this a couple of times before and each time it has been very tasty, juicy (without being dried out or overcooked) and on a brioche bun. I've also had the chicken Caesar salad before, some time ago and was surprised at how generous the salad was and how good it was.$ 9.99. The service has always been very good with very courteous people at the drive-thru. The inside is very nice and clean and spacious. They also have a good selection of beverages. For fast food, I quite liked it!”
“If you’re at all like us, we haven’t been able to successfully go out for Latin food with our kids without them sitting there eating chips and guacamole. If you’re not like us- please share your secrets. Anyway- you need to try Latina Cantina! We’ve driven by so many times, but FINALY tried it! You can enjoy insanely delicious Latin Food while your kids have Churro French Toast or even Chicken Fingers and Fries. Also, they said they its quieter in the afternoon be 12-6, a good time to host groups, events with no additional event space charge. We comfortably sat ~18. 10 or so were kids. Also- its place is so kid friendly in the afternoon. Anyway- great food, wonderful owner, casual but cozy ambiance and so I say the food was 🔥. Definitely recommend trying!”
“Came to check out a local band on a Thursday. The place was packed! The bartender Lindsay made a fantastic martini and Daniel the manager was a pleasure to speak with. Can’t wait to come back”
“Incredible! Impeccable friendly service and outstanding food. If you don’t go to eat here you’re insane. Delicious menu, oversized plates and just the best ambiance. Go dressed up or down and you will be comfortable. We can’t wait to go back.”
Cheap Eats
“I ordered myself something and when I went to go pick it up I misplaced my keys I called and told them that the meal was already paid for and to give it to somebody else if they wanted to and the gentleman who I believe his name is John said oh no we will deliver it that was very nice of them to do and it was delicious on top of everything else so thank you post”
“Although you can place your order via Google Maps, we chose to just go there & order. They're so fast (under 10 minutes) this is a viable option. There is a single table there but I'd say this place is takeout only. It's tiny inside but it's plenty big enough to order/pickup.”
“the menu is so huge it's overwhelming. I would like to go back and try some of the other items that are for lunch. I ended up getting a kid's box because what I wanted was way smaller than the usual fare. it was really good. definitely a place to try a few more times because it's extremely interesting and so many different things to try. everybody seemed pretty happy there and the food was fresh and the people were nice.”
