Such a great casual Mediterranean place! It's away from the downtown bustling area of Asbury Park, but it's great because the parking is free and never a hassle. My best friend, cousin, and I went here for a quick dinner after hanging out on the boardwalk/beach. They sat us really quickly in the back and we got our food fast. It was so good! We all got chicken shwarmas, fries, and pita. Wish I lived closer so I could eat here every day.

This is such a hidden gem in Asbury Park. In times of Covid the seating was socially distanced and even outdoor was available. Coming to food, we ordered falafel pita with fries and a chicken shawarma platter. Before anything else, the fries itself were worth it. Chicken shawarma platter was super yumm, with a variety of sauces to choose from. I would definitely go to this place again. Its a must try and even vegetarians have options.

Great Middle Eastern food in Asbury Parks downtown. Had the felafel sandwich which was green from the proper amount of parsley being added to the felafel mixture before frying, something that people who have traveled or been in the Middle East know. Very good with the right amount of salads and tehina added. My dining partner had the Ful platter, I tasted and the Ful was rich & thick, rice and salads added on the platter were good. I would recommend highly! It's a small place, with big taste.

Love this place! The Tree Veg pita was so delicious. Hoping it becomes part of the regular menu!

R.I.P. !!!!! This place used to be the best. What happened? Not the same owner or chef. No Shawarma? Patty meat or dog food??? gross!!!!! so disappointed and disgusted. How is a side of fries the same size as a platter?? Maybe update the menu, not sure what is going on here with my order but what a waste of time and money. Baba used to be the best i have ever had, not the same. NOT THE SAME AS WHAT IT USED TO BE!!!! Dearly miss the old menu flavors. I am truly and honestly appalled. What happened to this place?? I am actually so upset it is unbelievable. WHO is working today.... RIP. p.s. how are soggy fries in buffalo sauce mediterranean?

These guys know what they're doing. Food tastes great, and the people making it are very nice. Great break from constantly ordering Mexican and Italian food. Suggest ordering a bunch of small sharers and making your own platter!

Happened upon Lentil Tree and what a delicious find. Ordered falafel and 5th Ave Veg platters and everything was excellent.

My wife and I were down in Asbury last week and stumbled upon Lentil Tree and couldn't be happier. The man working there couldn't be more pleasant and the food was awesome. Highly recommend the Falafel sandwich and seasoned fries. We ate out front but there's a great patio in the back that we look forward to checking out in the future.

The hummus was good, I would order just that again. We also had the falafel and lentil soup and definitely would not order those again. Nice employee working.

I haven’t had better Mediterranean food in my life and I’m Egyptian!! This is the real deal!! Their grape leaves are un-matched!!! Such a cozy restaurant even during COVID!!
absolutely love this place! I work down the street and enjoy ordering for lunch! Their hummus is god tier!

Good stuff! Everything we've has as been super fresh! Schwarma and Gyro were delish. A solid med goti.

Where are the other 5 stars, want to award 10 to this gem of a restaurant. Excellent customer service, food is way above average. Will be my go-to for gyros and baklava for sure!

First time here and I ordered falafel platter and the baba ganoush. Let me start by saying that I always order falafel and baba ganoush on the menu, so I know which places are amazing and which places are just "eh." I do have to say that Lentil Tree had good falafel but they weren't favorite ever. The baba ganoush was just ok as well. Overall a decent meal and I will probably be back. The meal overall was satisfying and felt light. Even though the falafel was fried I still felt like it was a healthy meal. I look forward to trying other items on the menu!

Great spot, delicious food and fair prices. I had the lentil soup but the felafel and chicken schwarma look great too.
