Restaurants in Cliffside Park

“Steaks and caipirinhas, all day!”

“Excelente atención y muy buen sazón”

“Dodona cafe i would highly recommend to anyone who loves Albanian, Mediterranean food! Had a great time, food was amazing and perfectly cooked, service and atmosphere were great as well!”

“Juan Dulce does desserts right. The hospitality that you receive the minute you walk in is what missing in many places. He has amazing empanadas and an amazing breakfast sandwich. Oh and such a good tres leche, can’t say there something I don’t like and trust me I’ve tasted them all!”

“My husband and I dine here at least 2–3 times a month, and it never disappoints. We’ve eaten at Balkan restaurants all over New York, New Jersey, and across the country—and this is, without question, the best of them all.

The ćevapi, burek, and embelsira are unmatched. Every dish is consistently perfect. I choose this restaurant every single time.

As an Albanian, I can confidently say this is the best Balkan food in the United States. Forever a favorite. Thanks for bringing a taste of home to us!”

“The best Turkish food in the area as all other Turkish places focus on cheap, fast food. Cinar has the best food and quality and it tastes like fresh home made food. Everything in the menu is delicious. Now they have a great app for easy ordering. The service is always good there with warmth and kindness. This place is a true gem.”

“Was in the area and decided to try this place out. So happy we did, it was aaaamazing!!! Great variety menu, we had the jojo burger and the mushroom burger with an order of fries. Everything was super hot and fresh and delicious. It was super clean and I believe the man there was JoJo himself, he was extremely attentive, friendly and even brought our food over to us. Will definitely be coming back to this place. Wish I lived closer lol”

“Had our book club meet up here today and it was such a great time! The drinks were delicious. The treats were nice and sweet. We enjoyed ourselves for 3 hours lol it was such a great vibe and the staff super nice and helpful.”

“I celebrated my birthday at this restaurant and could not have asked for a better experience. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, the food was outstanding, and the service was attentive and friendly. It truly made my day special — highly recommend!”

“The food is fresh and delicious. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is super-friendly & attentive. Will definitely come back!”

“Small, hole-in-the-wall Indian spot tucked away in Cliffside Park that you could easily pass a hundred times without noticing. I decided to give it a try because of the solid Google ratings, and I wasn’t disappointed.The order was prepared quickly and overall the food was pretty good.

The tandoori chicken cubes were very tender, though they could’ve used a little something extra to really take them over the top. Still enjoyable. The lentil soup was very good and stood out.

The menu has a fair amount of options, prices are baseline for the area, and the place was clean. Definitely worth checking out if you’re nearby.”

“I recently hosted a holiday party at 690, and everything exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere was vibrant, the space was perfect, and the bar options were excellent. We rented the entire upstairs private floor with a cash bar, and it worked out beautifully. They catered the event, and the food was absolutely phenomenal, with plenty of menu options to choose from. If you're searching for a venue to host your next event, I highly recommend considering 690—it’s a fantastic choice!”

“Absolutely loved my experience at Uncle Fatty's Sushi Bubble! 🍣✨ This spot is a hidden gem — incredibly affordable without sacrificing quality or flavor. The sushi was fresh and delicious, and everything came out super fast, which is perfect for a quick lunch or casual dinner. The staff were welcoming and genuinely friendly, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. If you're looking for great sushi with top-notch service, this place is a must-try!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had such an amazing experience at Santo Café! The food was absolutely delicious. The arepas were slamming — perfectly made and full of flavor — and the empanadas were so yummy I didn’t want them to end. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and made with care. You can tell they put love into every bite. I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food 😊”

“What an amazing place!
From the moment we walked in, we felt truly welcomed—like being among family. The atmosphere is warm, joyful, and full of great energy. The owners are wonderful people with big hearts, and it truly shows in the way they run this place.
Karaoke night was such a fun and special experience! Everyone was incredibly kind, respectful, and friendly—people offering chairs, smiling, and making you feel comfortable without even knowing you. That kind of environment is rare and priceless.
This is more than just a bar; it’s a community. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be coming back. May God continue to bless this place with prosperity, joy, great people, and many unforgettable nights. Thank you for creating such a beautiful space to share, laugh, and enjoy life.
Highly recommended! ✨”

“Such an amazing Turkish breakfast experience. The spread was fresh and delicious, but the kuymak was the real highlight — rich, perfectly stretchy, and tasted just like my grandma made it. The staff were so kind and welcoming, truly peak Turkish hospitality. Definitely recommend!”

“I'll keep this short; in my five plus decades on this planet I don't believe that I've ever had fried chicken this good. And what an amazing staff.”

“I need to say that Renee and Carrie are amazing! Very amazing service, being able to be answered in French at the boutique was amazing! I drove twice in 2 days to grab cupcakes and cookies… I cannot say what’s my favourite out of the cupcake, the brownies, the cookies etc because everything was decadent and not too sweet. You taste the quality of the ingredients and the love they put while cooking them. The fact that Carrie was answering me while the business is close is a sign that she’s passionate and that she care about her client. They’re on the expensive side compared to other bakery, but once you compare you understand why… You taste the butter in everything! If you like some fluffy, moist, creamy cupcake this is your place… While planning my wedding, I’ve compared a few bakery and non are as good as this one… Thank you for the amazing experience and taste!”

“My Husband and I walked in and had the best time ever! It was a last minute Birthday night cap. We ended up singing Karaoke and had the best time. Everyone there was super nice. We definitely will be coming back! Thank you all!!”

“Great pizza place we ordered half veggie half mediteranean , dough was on point and tge ingridients are fresh! Would order again for sure”

“As someone from Venezuela, we are always looking for restaurants that truly capture the authentic flavors of our country. We visit many Venezuelan places, but Zetta’s is truly on another level. Every time we eat here, we feel like we are back home. 🇻🇪

The staff is incredibly friendly, and the owners are absolutely charming and welcoming. The service always makes us feel comfortable and appreciated.

You have to try the Pepito Guaro with the corn sauce, finally I was able to find an authentic Pepito Guaro! Thank you! It’s absolutely delicious. The tequeños operados are also amazing, with such a high level of flavor. And if you’re lucky enough to get the tres leches cake for dessert, don’t miss it!

Out of all the Venezuelan restaurants we’ve visited, Zetta’s will always be our number one choice. If you’re looking for authentic Venezuelan food and a warm atmosphere, this is the place.”

“This place gives off that run-down beat up pizza joint vibe, but it’s actually pretty solid. The pizza’s definitely way too greasy, but it's good. Prices for slices are overpriced but prices for pies are very fair. Being open late is a huge plus in this area. Far from the best pizza around, but it’s one of those spots you end up going back to anyway. sometimes the staff is in a great mood and helpful and sometimes they look cooked. You know what ur getting into when you walk in.”

“I love coming to Bowl Shake because the quality is always consistent. The food tastes fresh, the smoothies are great, and the atmosphere is relaxing. Daphne went above and beyond with her customer service super helpful and so pleasant to talk to.”

“Mashed Burgers is a must for smash burger fans. The burgers are thin, crispy around the edges, and packed with flavor, with that perfect griddle sear that makes smash burgers so good. Simple menu, well-executed food, and consistently satisfying. If you’re craving a no-nonsense burger done right, this is the spot 🍔🔥”

“I love coming here they have the time to ask you what do you want .. like do you want more salad more sauce it feels wonderful I always come at midnight this is my relaxing time to come over”

“Excellent Food. Prices even better”

“Excellent experience from start to finish. The service was stellar, so warm and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious (highly recommend the spicy tuna tartare), and the omakase was outstanding. This was truly one of the best dining experiences my partner and I have had in New Jersey.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ COMPTON’S is the kind of neighborhood gem you want everyone to know about — but secretly hope stays just yours. The sandwiches are massive, flavor‑packed, and clearly made with care. From the turkey hero with lime aioli to the Jaclyn with eggplant, every bite hits that perfect bread‑to‑filling ratio. The Reuben is a must‑try, and their chop cheese deserves all the hype.

What really sets COMPTON’S apart is the vibe: the owners make you feel welcome the second you walk in, and the service is as good as the food. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite at the counter or settling in at one of the few tables, you’ll leave full and happy.”

“Great place to eat it has been here since 1977. Their eggplant rollatini is one of the best in the state. The baked clams is out of this world. Can’t stop here without getting the fried calamari it’s crispy and soft at the same time. Chicken parm is out of this world.”

“We love eating here with our family. We celebrated our sons’ First Communion luncheon here and the food was a hit with our guests. Everything was delicious. Would highly recommend!”

“Stopped by for breakfast. The 4 Golpes, let me tell you… worth every bite. The food was delicious — fresh, flavorful, and made with real love. Rudy, the owner, was amazing and super attentive, making the whole experience feel even more special.

If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out. Support local, support good food, and support people who truly care about their craft.”

“Treated like family I’m comfortable there. FRESH food ingredients no jar stuff nothing fake or rushed. Rock on!”

“place is great. food is awesome. i had a pepperoni roll. sauce is really good. my husband had meatball parm. he liked it. prices are good. people were very nice. definitely coming back”

“A friend told me about this place. Went there a week or two ago and I LOVED it. Going back again today?”

“I ordered delivery three times from here and every time the food was delicious. I recommend the Italian salad, the mozzarella and tomato salad, and the eggplant parm. This became a stable for good pizza in the area.”

“We highly recommend this restaurant for lunch and dinner!”

“Best ☕️ espresso in Cliffside”

“Amazing food and flavors. They are easily my new favorite place, for sure— feels like home to me. I’m so happy I found them “accidentally”. So happy. Flavors are like my mom’s and grandmas cooking. ❤️”

“The hidden gem of AYCE KBBQ among the sea of AYCE KBBQ in the area. The service is excellent and even for larger groups you can usually reserve a table the day of if you call ahead.”

“Tried for the first time and thought the tacos were very good. We tried chicken, chicken Al pastor, and steak. All were great and I really enjoyed The Al pastor which tasted very authentic.

Everything was packed well and Delivery was fast. I’d order again.”

“Highly recommended! This place is great!”

“Me having been in the this neighborhood five year, I would walk past this local bar regularly but recently I had noticed some construction inside followed by a name change. It got my attent but wasn't until a few months that I didn't actually go in and Covid did play a factor but man am I glad I did!!! Amy"s warm, genuine and warm greeting was a pleasant surprise. Then immediately you notice the open air lofty feel but with ever thing you expect in a classics traditional American bar. The perfectly sized newly constructed bar as you walk in on the right. Two midsize new pool table, the wall mounted monitor that can be seen from all angles, a perfect located dart board. But wait there is more. Amy who talked to us briefly about the new owners vision gave us the 5 cent tour ending it with the back yard. An oasis of a outdoor gathering area with tables, chairs and heater for those cool spring and summer nights entirely cover but a gazebo. Folks, Brass Rail 2 means business, they are built for you to come enjoy a beer watch baseball game on any of the monitors, play a game of pool, shoot some darts or just come and socialize with your friends or neighbors. Congratulations on building a nice local American Bar look I'm forward to spending time there unwinding after a good days work.”

“Club House Cafe the best...”

“(Translated by Google) Excellent Guatemalan food, they give good service and the place is clean, and the price is very accessible.(Original)Excelente comida guatemalteca, dan un buen servicio y el lugar es limpio, y el precio es muy accesible.”

“Small shop in a convenient location for locals. The sushi is fairly priced, especially if you choose one of the deals. It’s nothing extraordinary, but definitely better than the average hole-in-the-wall spot. Overall, it’s good enough that you won’t have any issues, just not particularly impressive.”

“😀 hey serving sarges now”

“this place is unbelievable clean,and the food is very very good”

“Went here for the first time this past weekend and I found it really nice. I heard the old chef of Sultan Bakery opened this place up so I wanted to try it out. The desserts here were amazing but the tea was average. It was also very packed so be warned. There is a free parking lot at the back.”

“Steaks were 5 ⭐️!!! Definitely going back!”

“I like to come by and eat lunch here because the food is delicious, quickly served, and price is giving. Lunch Menu is now $17 for soup or salad, appetizer, main. I had the lentil soup (could use some more flavor its a bit bland), the hummus was very
good (wish they had real warm pita instead of bread ), my Chicken kabob was cooked perfectly (meat was tender and soft).”

“Excellent delicious my favorite place 👍😋”

“Went for lunch. Parking limited, but in front. Quality ingredients prepared with attention to detail. Real waitstaff. Clean, Clean, Clean No rushing you out. Great containers for take home leftovers. Definitely recommend. Chef Ray”

“(Translated by Google) THE SERVICE IS AMAZING, SO BAD THAT I ORDERED A SOUP AND ANOTHER PERSON WAS SERVED IT.THAT WAS TODAY SUNDAY MIDDAY. ???????????(Original)EL SERVICIO ES MALÍSIMO, TAN MALO QUE PEDÍ UNA SOPA Y OTRA PERSONA SE LA SIRVIERON.ESO FUE HOY DOMINGO A MEDIO DÍA. ???????????”

“My old neighborhood spot … great weekend memories! I enjoyed the pupusas con queso y loroco and their tacos. I brought my brother here once from upstate NY. Good times!”

“Not the most amazing bagel place I’ve been to, but it’s definitely a go-to for me. The staff are always friendly and the service is quick, which makes a big difference when you’re in a rush. My current favorite is their garlic bagel with egg, cheese, and meat—simple but satisfying.”

“Excellent food & service nice room had a view of the street & watched the poring rain!”

“Some of the best ramen I ever had”

“What a joke, serving fresh bread in a single paper bag , without wrap or plastic protection. So sad...I believe service was left home.”

“Antep Kitchen is such a warm and friendly place! The staff are always so nice, and their food is amazing. I especially love their Antep-style lahmacun so delicious and authentic. Definitely one of my favorites!”

“Awsome, delicious food… love it 🤗😊”

“They are great for the price a blimpie best big sandwich is great when u dont want to go stand on line for deli.it lasts for a few days. I love they are open til 3 am they have pizza cheese fries alot of things u want without going to a diner.

Parking: Well ive gotten lucky its really good just for pickup. Not very spacious.but delvery is great if your up late”

“We happened to walk into this place by chance, and it turned out to be a great find.
It was cold and we were really hungry, but the owner and staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. The food came out quickly and tasted amazing.
I usually think of Chinese food as being heavy or overly greasy, but this was clean, well-balanced, and genuinely enjoyable.
A hidden gem — definitely a treasure we were lucky to discover!”

“I drive 20 mins away to pick up food here. 3 and half star is mind boggling. Beef with garlic sauce is amazing! They say if garlic sauce is good? Then rest is history! Reason is garlic sauce has a the hardest for perfection”

“Excellent service, great house Margarita (only $5 during happy hour!) beautifully presented food - and they had vegetarian and vegan options - mine was delicious vegan chorizo enchiladas. Colorful and fun atmosphere.”

“This place doesn’t look much from the outside but the inside is absolutely amazing. The staff was very professional and amazing. The food was absolutely amazing and dessert was equally Good.”

“We love the variety on their menu. From breakfast sandwiches to tacos and sides, we've tried a few plates and frequently order favorites. Every dish is done right -- very flavorful, fresh, hot and served neatly. I hope they continue to serve our neighborhood. We order takeout or fast delivery more often now than hitting up a diner or taco spot.”

“Under new management. Well staffed., no long lines.”

“Best Blimpie & Fresh Hot Pizza within the Cliffside Park,NJ area, completely remodeled facility, with excellent service and delivery promptness, parking is available, must check it out!”

“I ordered it for delivery using Uber Eats, and it’s genuinely some of the best tacos I’ve had in a long time. I would suggest getting the “Birria Tacos (Tacos de Res)”. My boyfriend and I tried that one and the steak tacos but the Birria taco is WAYYYYYY better- the steak tacos weren’t really our thing. But yeah super good!”

“This place has really authentic Thai cuisine taste just like when I was there. I’ve been coming to this place for yearsthet serve the original cooking styles and flavors from Thailand .”
