BUREK KING 223 Parker Ave, Clifton Turkish • $

“I had the opportunity to try Bosnian food or in other words balkan food. Let me tell the food was freaking amazing!!! The owner was so nice and absolutely awesome to talk to. The vibe you get from him is like we are family. First, food choice to come out was the most fluffy burek slices ranging from cheese, spinach and even meat version. I truly enjoyed the meat slice so much I even licked my fingers clean. Second food selection that came out was the chevapi and man when I saw the meat was so juicy and tender it literally brings a smile to my face while making my mouth water. Make sure to rip a piece of the bread grab a piece of the meat and grab some onions you’ll thank me later. The chevapi is so flavorful that will drive your taste paletes into overtime!!! Third food selection the owner personally recommended to us was the two month old veal slow cooked to perfection. Literally you pierce your fork into it the meat just falls apart. First bite the flavor of the veal will take you to nirvana. Try this if you try the veal, take a piece of the bread from the chevapi and dip it into the bone marrow. That delicious flavor from slow cooking is going to kick you senses into overtime! Will I recommend someone to come try this restaurant? Absolutely!!! I cannot wait to go back and try this.”

Sultan palace 429 Crooks Ave, Clifton Middle Eastern • $$

“We enjoyed dining in this beautiful restaurant, and the whole experience was complete. We had a great dining experience with the seating service, especially when I had the Kufta Kebab. Each bite felt like it was unleashing a perfectly balanced juicy succulence of the flavors, brought irresistibly forward by the mastery of spice handling from the hands of the chef. But really and honestly, the service did do a great deed toward our lifted evening. Our waitress indeed topped the experience, literally and metaphorically. Each of us was more than comfortable and happy. It truly made a great evening. But the true ambiance setters were the live musical performers. This delightful background and the cozy yet stylish restaurant decoration set an inspiring mood. I highly recommend this gem for its excellent culinary service, vibrant vibes, and immaculate service. Such a place is recommendable to all those who would like to treat themselves to dining out.”

“I had been craving garlic knots for so long and I finally said ok let my try this place. AMAZING! when I tell you I could not stop eating these garlic knots !!!!!! The seasoning and heavy amounts of oil for redipping - I can bathe in it the rigatoni bolognese comes with the option of adding a burrata ball and I said no, not for $9 well to my surprise, it Came with one! I'm not sure if it was by mistake or what but it was so creamy and sinful!! This came with an order of chicken soup. Everything was packed tight because not a drop spilled and it arrived piping hot. This is my first time trying it but now I want to visit in person and see what the dine in experience is.”
