Restaurants in Norwalk

“We had a party for my husband’s birthday in one of the private rooms. The room was a perfect size for 25 people. The table was set beautifully! The room looked lovely and had a small walk out patio that opened the space. The staff could not have been nicer: very accommodating and respectful of all dietary needs. The food was excellent! The timing of the service was leisurely. We had an exceptionally good experience Nancy”

Our waiter, Pedro, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, which made ordering easy and enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish exceeded expectations. I also appreciated that the manager was walking around, checking in and greeting guests—it gave the whole place a warm, welcoming vibe. I highly recommend this restaurant! It’s popular, so it’s best to make a reservation in advance.”

“Let me tell you about this place!!! I am Georgian but married to American , my family loves my food but when we had the Georgian traditional salad my husband looked at me like he was eating something heavenly!!! The Megrelian stile Cheese bread is the best thing you ever eat !! Sooo good!! The Khinkali the soup dumplings so delicious, just make sure you drink all the juice it’s best part!! We had such a great experience and will be back very soon. The service was excellent!!! Highly recommended, 10 out of 10!!”

“Food is 1000000/10. Our family (some vegan, gf, and no restrictions) each loved our dishes. The rasta pasta was easily the best I've ever had, and the favorite for all of us. The vegan beef and spring platters were perfection (flavor was insane). The ingredients were clearly fresh, and each dish was made to order, as we could see while waiting. I will say it was a long wait (~45 minutes), so order further ahead if you are doing take-out. However, it is very worth it for dishes made fresh with great ingredients. Highly, highly recommend Ethno to everyone! And thank you to the wonderful chef and owner who is doing an incredible job :)”

“First and foremost, I RARELY give any restaurant five stars. This restaurant earned their five stars; food, service, atmosphere all hit the mark! The food is absolutely delicious. I'm a seafood lover and I must say it's the BEST seafood restaurant I've ever been to. Everything I ate was very fresh and the kitchen definitely know what they're doing. Calamari was crispy on the outside and tender inside. It comes with buffalo sauce, lemon aioli and bamu sauce which is a spicy thin Asian sauce. Clam chowder was creamy, had the usual bacon, clams and celery and garnished with a clam on the shell; great touch if you ask me. The spicy tuna tartare was my favorite thing I ate. It came with papadum chips that were light and crispy (better than potato chips!). The tuna tartare had the right amount of spice that didn't overpower your tastebuds but it let you know you were eating fresh, delicious tuna. The cucumbers added a very refreshing touch to the dish and I loved the wasabi aioli! The hot lobster roll was perfect. Coleslaw was delicious. The steamers are always messy to eat but worth it! I had a mini seafood feast and I was super satisfied leaving the restaurant. I usually finish a good meal with dessert but I had no room. There's always a next visit for that! I didn't try my son's cheeseburger because I strictly wanted seafood but it was cooked medium just how we asked and he said it was delicious. My son is a picky eater so if he says it's good, it's good. Ambiance is very nice. There's indoor and outdoor seating. If you're a sun lover you'd love to be outdoors with the sun shining on you while you dine with a great view of the water and boats. Inside had nice nautical decor. They had a nice bar area with lots of drinks. Our server, MJ, was amazing. He was very attentive to all our needs. It was our first time eating here and we will return because of MJ and the amazing food. Our cups were always full and finished dishes cleared away. I appreciate servers like MJ because it elevates the dining experience. Great food can only get you so far but hard workers like MJ truly magnify a great experience. The restaurant was super packed. They have valet parking and I honestly thought we would wait forever but we didn't. We got in right away and our food promptly came out. MJ made sure we got the food in the order we wanted and we didn't feel rushed or ignored. Again, this is why I'm giving them five stars! If you love seafood, great service and a beautiful view, check them out.”

“Great staff, great food. Celebre mi boda en este lugar y todo fue excelente. Los recomiendo 100%”

“excellent food and wine I could no ask for more”

“Threw a birthday party for 25 here, and everything went off without a hitch. Jackie was very responsive and informative in planning, and they took good care of us all throughout the evening. Will go back.”

“Siena is a lovely surprise nestled in the Watershed hotel in Norwalk. The restaurant is nicely decorated with a modern vibe and overlooks the Norwalk river. The menu is reasonably diverse and the food is very good. Fun cocktail list with one mocktail offering (Golden Hour) that was excellent. It's fully staffed so the attention level is very attentive. Ask for a table by the windows so you can look down at the river.”

“I just wanted to share my experience this morning, I decided to get my breakfast from the Donut Delight and ordered a delicious croissant and French vanilla coffee with.

“Easy_on_easy_off from exit 16 of i_95 (Connecticut turnpike), drive thru available but no outdoor seating. Plenty of parking on the side and in the rear of the building. There is a dairy queen counter inside this location. The inside space is cozy, comfy and good for groups or for dining alone. Male and female restrooms available inside.”

“The manager( named- junior) at this Dunkin' location is fantastic! They are professional, approachable, and ensure the team delivers excellent service. It’s clear they care about both the staff and the customers, creating a welcoming and efficient atmosphere. Great leadership makes all the difference—kudos to the manager and the entire team!”

“Cindy working here has been amazing. She cares about making sure the right thing is given. And even gave me an extra cream cheese to give to my dog to take medication. Thank you, and happy to support people like this.”

“Dunkin's incorporation of an ice cream store offers a diverse menu and maintains high-quality products, providing an enjoyable experience with a variety of coffee and ice cream choices. The service is efficient, and the location is convenient. However, the merger has led to cramped space, particularly noticeable on a rainy day visit when the indoor entrance was wet and unmonitored, posing a slip hazard. Although the issue was reported to a staff member, the slow response to this safety concern could be risky, highlighting a need for better safety measures to enhance the overall customer experience at this dual-function location.”

“It’s a McDonald’s. A good one at that. Boof for your health (obviously) but this specific location is always quick, employees are friendly, and the food comes out hot 9 times out of 10, no complaints”

“Nice,Clean and fast Service.”

“We go here nearly every time we are in Norwalk. Love their arroz con pollo. All the food is actually amazingly delicious. My favorite drink is their sangria to the point they prep it for me when I walk in. Kind service. They feel like family.”

“We love coming to this place. The food is not only delicious but of good quality. the place feels like home: dumplings, hot soups and those fried buns for dessert… 🍜 🥟 😋 Even when the place is packed, it’s worth the wait!”

“Definitely ? very good meat of my Torta very soft and co. Flavor and fresh ingredients and good temperature served me with great warmth, it's a shame that Dunking Donna's prohibits them from selling coffee ☕️ that is bad for a franchise that must accept competition from small businesses?”

“I ordered the Pho King and it was super delicious!!! The broth was flavorful and seasoned, the beef was tender, and the vegetables and noodles were cooked perfectly. All the flavors came together to make a superb bowl of comfort. A shout out to the server, CHUCK, who answered my questions and provided thoughtful recommendations. I'm bringing family and friends next time!!!”

“Had an amazing time, we waited for a bit as we had no reservation and its a small space. Most tables were participating in the 8 course dinner. We were acknowledged three seperate times by workers which was great that we were seen. We were finally offered a table and they were super accomodating. We got a buffalo chicken cesar and a chicken vodka parm sandwich, 10/10!!! Absolutely delicious. I couldnt reccomend enough. While it is busy, the staff is just lovely. Come try out this great food!”

“esencial buen servicio para todos y los exclusivos platos gourmet, delicious del lugar”

“This place is absolutely incredible - the kombucha & the people. I arrived one Friday for a refill only to discover they'd closed early. I'd come a ways to get there so I called to confirm (since I was within business hours) but unfortunately they were closed & I received an apology for the inconvenience. I was bummed but figured I'd try again when I could. Yesterday (a Thursday) was that day, and unfortunately due to my own error, I fought through traffic far outside of my area only to find they were again, closed. I was visibly upset & a man who worked in the building (a true MVP) saw that. He reached out to the owner who authorized a great guy named Alex that was working in the back of the store to help me out. I truly couldn't be more appreciative of them both going above & beyond to assist me. The whole reason I kept returning is bc their product is so great. So many flavor profiles to chose from - if you've never tried kombucha or have had a bad experience in the past, this is the place to try. Couple great flavors with an amazing staff of friendly & knowledgable people - you won't be disappointed.”

“This is the best spot for lunch. i grew up in the restaurant business and it’s hard to find a place that has great food. This place is the best for lunch in Norwalk. Great size portions. Great flavors. Very friendly owners and staff.”

Did a Google search and saw the reviews for Herb's Place. While it wasn't the sit down we were thinking of, I'm really glad we went. The food was SO good! We'll definitely go back if we're ever in that area again.”

Our dinner included the Everest Pickled Mushrooms which were amazing. Once we bit into the first bite our tastebuds had a burst of happiness- they are flavorful and just plain delicious!!! . If you like mushrooms you will definitely love this dish. We both had the Mix Vegetable Tarkari( Nepali Style- Vegan), Khyber Parantha, the sweet and mango lassi and Moong Dal Halwa for dessert. Delicious and perfectly balanced food! Taste of Everest has a very nice, relaxed atmosphere, wonderful food and exceptionally warm service. We enjoyed everything, that we even bought a gift certificate, to give to another friend and we will definitely be going back.
