“First and foremost, I cannot say enough positive things about Hills of Herat! From the amazing, carefully-curated, fresh food options, to the wonderful, kind, and professional and accommodating staff - everything at Hills is quality from the moment you step through the door.I have been to Hills many times for regular dining with my friends and family, and when it came time to hosting an event, I couldn’t think of a better place that would suit my needs. My mother hosted my baby shower here, and the staff, ambiance, and food were all fantastic, and each my guests shared the same sentiments! The bread, soup, appetizers, rice, and meat platters were all perfect! And I am very hard to please when it comes to food!I really appreciate all of the kindness and warmth from all of the staff at Hills, as well the wonderful experience I had at my event hosted at this location. I truly look forward to having another event at this location in the future.”

“Absolutely worth dropping in! Warm and friendly humans and delicious coffee plus the best scone I’ve ever had in the entirety of my existence on this planet!! Adam and team are so, so kind and will accommodate your quirky (or is it just me?) coffee order with a smile.”

“I was there yesterday for breakfast, the place was super nice and warm, they have it for breakfast or lunch. I ordered this avocado toast with salmon, a total delight. I'm going back to continue trying menu options that look great and I love that they have fruit smoothies made on the spot. 10 ”

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere! We enjoyed lovely wine, oysters, pasta and dessert! Ana and Elsa took great care of us and helped celebrate my birthday!”

“Absolutely love Pizza Da Napoli! The pizza is excellent - deliciously thin crust, amazing sauce/cheese, and the gourmet pizza options are top notion. Great salads too! Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Great toppings for vegetarians, plenty of veggie options on menu.”

“LOVE these guys. I usually prefer NY-style pizza but these guys do a fantastic job of artisan pizzas. As fresh as can be - they straight-up use meats and vegetables from the local farmers. They always have a margherita and a pepperoni available and multiple specials. They had a corn, onion, bacon pizza the other day that was killer! Very clean and organized. Paying is quick and they accept cards too. Usually about a 20-minute wait which is perfect because you can walk around and grab some vegetables, honey, etc. from the farmers market and then go devour a pizza of two.”

“I've lived here for 30 years, and this was our first time at Ridge. My group of six arrived at 2:30, and we were the only diners. People did come and go for take-out. We were served the best warm bread I've had in a long time--crusty on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. I believe the owner was our server, and he was very accommodating. The food was delicious! We brought some wine and were given wine glasses. This is what we ordered: Mozzarella sticks - Good and typical of what you would usually have. Meatballs - I loved them. Good flavor and delicious marinara Pesto Chicken Panini - Excellent Sausage Parmesan sandwich - My husband didn't think it was anything special, but the bread was great Bucatini Amatriciana: Pasta with Italian bacon and onions in a fresh tomato sauce. It was mildly spicy and flavorful, and the portion was good. The kids split a Margarita pizza with fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, fresh tomato sauce, and basil. Delicious Overall, we enjoyed the food. We have no complaints and are glad we chose to eat here.”

“Best experience,Delicious food, Beautiful ambience !!!The host and owner is a wonderful person.We a group of six went for dinner in December 2023. The service and food was excellent. The food suggestions were very helpful. The mains are of good size perfect for 3 people, the appetizer portion were small, good for one. I would recommend that order different mains and share. The host will guide you well. We enjoyed our family meet, and I definitely recommend this restaurant.”

“I am gluten-free so only stop in for coffee every morning. I order via app and arrive within 3 minutes due to where I live. Coffee is always ready and waiting. Same coffee as other DD locations but the staff make this location better. They take the time to speak with you and know you. Very friendly.”

“This place is very cute and quaint. The staff is very friendly and knows the menu. It seems like a family run shop.The service was good but I think they are a little short staffed as the crew was running around and apologizing for the delays.I had the pork chop it was was excellent”

“We stopped in for the first time. They seem very busy with takeout food. The owner was exceptionally nice. I ordered a curry dish which was very good and the coconut pudding was great along with the Thai iced tea. My husband had the drunken noodles which he said was good. I would definitely stop back when I'm in the area.”

“Okay, probably a bit generous the first time. Still very good but I can't give it five stars. My scale has gotten a bit tougher than the first time. Still good for a local spot.”

“Delicious Veggie Burger!Also very good service. Although it seems a bunch of teenagers are running the place, the food came out perfect and fast, despite the amount of people with orders ahead of mine. I will definitely be back!Vegetarian options: Their veggie burger is really good!”

“Origin’s is one of the few restaurants that is consistently good, I have never had a bad meal.Parking: Always able to get a spot on. Sunday as that is day I usually go”

“This is by far our favorite sushi spot in all of New Jersey. Very unassuming restaurant in a strip mall area. The special sushi rolls are unbelievable. Take note of the board with specials, including the Cosplay Roll and the Luck Roll. The fish is always fresh and so tasty, the preparation lovely crafted with care. This restaurant can rival some of the most high end sushi restaurants in Manhattan. Also try the spicy Kani salad. Ample free parking and they do take out orders too, though we prefer to eat there in person. The place is BYOB and there is Ridge Wine store in the same strip mall, so very convenient to grab a bottle of sake before eating there.Kid-friendliness: We usually get the grilled seabass for the kids and they usually offer to split it for us.”

“We typically stop by for coffee only at this location. We always do mobile orders via the app and our order is always ready before we show up. Never had an issue with a wrong order. The pickup is quick and the staff (Max, Doug, Roxanne) is very nice.”

“On my way down from NYC to Bethlehem, PA and I hopped off the highway to grab some Starbucks coffee. Typical experience, which is to say good. Very busy little complex but I did find a parking spot right out front that freed up.”

“I got takeout recently and it’s pretty good! I definitely recommend the chicken with broccoli or sesame chicken if you’re looking for some classic American Chinese food. To go a bit more authentic, I would one hundred percent suggest the sliced fish in a chili sauce. Not as much veggies that I would like but the hot chili sauce is delicious and portions are fantastic. I also really like bamboo shoots so I get that with shredded pork.Now for my standard comments. There’s not too much space to eat in or too many employees, not like they used to have. Service is not bad. Takeout is pretty quick if you call ahead or order online.”

“Friendly staff, and one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the area the last 15 years. I usually go takeout, but dine-in environment is something I’ll enjoy if I have time. My go to’s are Sesame Chicken and Egg Drop / Hot & Sour Soup.”

“I absolutely love this Dunkin location. Staff is really nice and they somehow make the best coffee. They also have free WiFi and most importantly they have a Tesla super charger right behind this location.Vegetarian options: Donuts, hash browns”

“We had a great dinner here before the show at Mayo.Their complimentary pita was soft and warm and served with cute butter candle and hummus full of olive flavor. We had to stop ourselves from filling up before entrees. The octopus appetizer came with really fine mash potatoes and capers. For entrees, we’ve got Paidakia (grilled lamb chop) and grilled Lavraki (sea bass). I was pleasantly surprised by the braided fish, wow! We loved everything here! No wonder their reviews are so good! If we weren’t so full, we would have ordered desserts; they looked so good on the table next to us.The decor was beautiful, mostly white and accent with the Greek blue. The wait staff was friendly. When we left the hostess wasn’t up front, then she ran out to thank us, how sweet!What an excellent dinner experience!”

“We had such a great experience. We’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time and it did not disappoint! The food was exceptional and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back!”

“amazing coffee, even better environment. you can count on goldfinch for its hospitality and phenomenal blends. the water/ice here is also top tier - what more could you ask for ?‍♂️??”

“Fun little place. I expected the floral decor to be in the whole restaurant but it was centered in a specific area next to the bar. The tables had touch lighting that can change color depending on the mood. The hostess and wait staff had so much energy and smiles that were contagious. The menu items have an Asian flair especially since of the apps and fried rice (chaufa) offering. I got the pacha sour, which is a pisco sour with chicha morada and lomo saltado with tender steak pieces. Others got the arroz con mariscos that had prawns, squid and mussels. The lomo quesadillas were good too and the guacamole was good with it. The side of mashed potatoe was creamy and so buttery. For dessert, we got the flan and tres leches cake. Everything was delicious and is worth coming back to try other dishes.”

“Amazing customer service and menu. Made my parents anniversary so special. Samantha the waitress was fabulous and had great service. My food was amazing and came out so well prepared. The atmosphere was spectacular.”

“Great place! And good choice. So we were with my wife on March 08, 2024 in this place/cafe. Arabic cuisine- very delicious and tasty. Exclusive food. We got good experience with family. Actually Happy women days..! I told to cashier that I will write good review in Google if I like it, my order, your food and then there guy, he gave my wife sweet free baklava at International Woman’s Day..! Very nice and perfect experience and atmosphere. Thank you for your gift ? for my wife ! Our food and order was very delicious.Parking: Sometimes free and sometimes for money. Depends on what day of the weekKid-friendliness: Yes, sure.. I think so..:)”

“A lot of places don't live up to the hype. That is not the case with Surreal. From the second we walked in, we were greeted, and asked if it was our first visit. The employee that helped us was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We were offered samples and suggestions. Our customer experience alone was worth the trip. The Thai milk tea was the best I have ever had. I was offered a sample of the taro ice cream (not something I would have ordered on my own) and WOW. It might have been the best ice cream I have had. Needless to say I ordered one. Check it out, my entire family enjoyed their orders too. Absolutely worth the trip.”

“Food was amazing, no mango lassi when we arrived, portions are relatively small so be aware. No chips and dip starter but it had proper spice and the food tasted good. I also recommend the bullet naan.”

“The food was amazing and satisfied me and my family, the service was very nice as they were very kind, understanding, and clear about what they were trying to say, the area was nice and cozy with relaxing music and overall this restaurant is the best sushi place out there.”

“What an amazing Chef! Amazing food! Alway an amazing experience. The Best!! Love the Host and the Bartender, he is fabulous and the staff, super attentive. European and World class. I love it!”
