“Best Mediterranean food experience, such a delicious food really like the octopus and salmon everything so tasty and fresh. Like the service waiters are so friendly and professional. Highly recommend for who is looking unforgettable food experience.“
“Had an excellent meal here. Hummus was incredible. Mixed grill? Wow. Only thing that was meh was the falafel. Cooked a bit hard for my taste but everything else was perfect. My waitress was very kind and helpful. I'll most definitely be back“
“I have had an amazing experience with them. I ordered food for an iftar event happening at The Towers and they went above and beyond my expectations. They delivered on time, gave so much delicious food and were very helpful in making sure we had everything we needed. The event had no food left because everyone came back for 3rds and 4ths. Thank you so much for your hardwork!!“
“I read the reviews for this restaurant on Yelp and that's what got me here. Hopefully, my review will do the same for you. This restaurant is perfect for meeting up with friends to have a very nice, casual, reasonably priced, excellent meal. We had delicious hummus (as good as hummus you eat in the Middle East) as an appetizer, served with small triangles of wonderful, warm pita. For the main course, I had the special, quinoa salad with sweet potatoes, feta and other veggies - delicious! My friend, a personal chef, also ordered a special - the hummus bowl with Brussel sprouts. She enjoyed her food as much as I did and was impressed with Bella's Kitchen food presentation. We will be back.“
“Absolutely a must to dine in. Food is amazing the presentation perfect. Waiter and waitress were so helpful and kind. My wife and I highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Eggplant appetizer was amazing. The falafel was right on with delicious humus“
“Zaffron Bloom in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ, is a delightful addition to the culinary scene, offering a fusion of Modern Persian Cuisine with Middle-terranean influence. Helmed by Chef Shahin, whose years of catering experience have culminated in the realization of her dream restaurant, Zaffron Bloom promises a unique dining experience. The restaurant's namesake spice, saffron, is aptly celebrated for its rich history, cultural significance, and exquisite flavor profile.During our lunch visit, we were treated to a delicious meal that surpassed our expectations. The service was impeccable, exceeding the standard. Our decision to dine at Zaffron Bloom was influenced by a friend's glowing recommendation, and we're thrilled to have discovered this gem. Zaffron Bloom truly embodies the essence of "the spice of life" with its innovative approach to traditional Persian cuisine. Deliciousness!! To all Yelpers.... Guys we have to support small local business. It's more important than you can imagine especially during these times. Give them a try, we're sure you'll enjoy it. Be on the lookout... a little insider info, they'll soon be opening a market adjacent to Zaffron. Good luck with all and future ventures. @vinopotato.“
“Best thing to happen to this food strip in AGES!Fresh ingredients and tasty recipes. The price is appropriate for the type of food you're getting, but even more so-the portion sizes and flavor are top notch. We've already stoped in multiple times so here are some of our take aways :-dolmades: honestly, the best l've ever had. And I try them EVERYWHERE. Not cheaply portions either - solid roll and you get 5 in an order. WORTH IT.-pita chips: clearly homemade and SO delicious. They're softer than the ones people are used to getting, but firm enough to really hold some hummusBowl/Wrap ingredients :BASES-med couscous: light and fluffy, not porridge-esque-warm garbanzo beans: Held their integrity during cooking so you're greeted with big pillows of seasoned goodness-farmers mix: more than just Romaine-reminiscent of a garden mix (arugula, kale, etc)SPREADS-zesty Feta: no words can do this justice. Chunky and full of love-roasted eggplant hummus: brought an almost Smokey flavor as opposed to regular hummus-Kalamata olive hummus: recommended by the young man making my dish and WOW so glad he did. I'm not a huuuuuuge olive fan and this was just a nice essence of kalamatas. I was afraid it would be too potent and take over the dish. QUITE THE OPPOSITE! Will never look back from other options!-tzatzki: mild flavor and perfect accompaniment to anything it touchesPROTEINFirst off, they offer the most GENEROUS protein portions.You 'get 2' so they let you do a full scoop of one and a full scoop of the other. Falafel is about 4 balls per serving so you can mix and match with another protein-Moroccan steak : nice sized slices/bits of spiced meat-lemon chicken: you can taste the citrus without it being overpowering. Also in nice sized pieces-chicken shawarma: insta classic ! The meat is almost buttery it's cooked so well-falafel: my personal favorite. You can taste how fresh they are ! No dryness here! Great Big Crunch surrounding a little pillow of happiness. And if you choose this as your protein, be prepared to be AMAZED at how much you get!TOPPINGSUnlike other stores of this kind, the toppings bar is unlimited!!! And that doesn't speak to the quality of the ingredients. Again, everything is so fresh and taken care of properly.Most of this part is self explanatory so I'll just touch on the parts we found interesting:-chickpea croutons: not nearly as hard as expected to be so that was a plus. The shell has a crisp but you won't worry about breaking a tooth-dolmades : if you're afraid to commit to a full order, here's your chance to try it ! You won't be disappointed-tabbouleh : such a lovely addition to the meal you just created. Adds flavor with the mint/parsley/onion heavenly goodness-cabbage: tried both the white and red at different times and both were tasty. Felt that the white took in more of the flavor around the dish while the red just added crunchDRESSINGS-any tahini option is the right answer. If you're not familiar with the taste of tahini to begin with (earthy if you will), then I would recommend a flavored one-roasted red pepper tahini: a gift from above ! There is a slight sweet yet smokey flavor that wraps everything together-garlic jalapeño tahini: not as spicy as you'd imagine so it just gives a nice lil zest to your dish-lemon & olive oil : depending on what you put in your order, this will help with overall texture. If you opted out of wet stuff (tomatoes, lettuce, etc) this is your choice !Lastly,The Earth Burger: like a big ole falafel and WOW did not disappoint. Maintained the integrity of the falafel (crispy outside, soft inside) while giving you the satisfying big bite you're looking for. Only complaint is since it is such a hearty size, maybe a size of tahini or tatziki should accompany it. But if you ask, they’ll give you a side !!Basically, this is a great asset to the area.Kind staff, smiling faces, clean sitting area and portion sizes that will have you stuffed all day!Their in house lemonade is the BEST !“
“I recently dined at Vinateriá and I must say, the food and service were absolutely phenomenal. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. The menu offered a variety of authentic Italian dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce was rich and flavorful. The service was attentive, friendly, and truly made our dining experience exceptional. I would definitely return to this restaurant in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic Italian meal. 5/5 stars.“
“Amazing food, ambiance and service. The sampler of humus, labne-beets, babanush is unique. The trio sampler of lamb, chicken and shrimps was tender, flavoured and delicious! For that platter, a bit more sides would be better. Regarding the desert the goat milk ice cream was simply amazing!!Value for money. Highly recommended-“
“This food is hands down 20/10! The customer service was wonderful & they’re super welcoming and friendly. Their Insalata Di Gamberi was perfect! I don’t rave about salads but the shrimp was very flavorful and all the ingredients are FRESH! Their pastas are house made and you can purchase as well. I got the busa pasta with the assorted seafood 20/10! Dessert was tiramisu which is so rich and fresh! Everything is fresh and delicious a REAL GEM I highly recommend & will definitely be back. Franchesca & Juan are great with wonderful energy!Vegetarian options: YesKid-friendliness: Yes“
“Having traveled all the way from Canada, our visit to this restaurant was truly extraordinary. The service stood out immediately, with our waitress providing insightful menu explanations and excellent recommendations for our group of four, which turned out to be spot on.The food itself was outstanding. From appetizers to main courses, each dish was bursting with flavor and spices that made every bite a delight. Eating with our hands added an extra layer of enjoyment, engaging all our senses in the experience. Even those in our group who weren't vegan were thoroughly impressed.The restaurant's cozy and welcoming atmosphere added to the overall charm. The local artwork on the walls and the vibrant colors created a warm and inviting ambiance.We'll definitely be returning to this hidden gem. The combination of excellent service, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!“
“Alright! Where do i begin?! There were 4 people behind the counter and when i walked in, all four greeted me. The manager greeted at the ordering station and didnt overwhelm me to order my food as this was the first time being there. He asked me if id like any suggestions and we landed on the chicken platter with spicy chickpeas rice and cole slaw. Everything about this bowl was immaculate. The chicken was well seasoned and spiced, the chick peas were tender and savory, and the rice was such a great compliment to the protein. I also ordered their fries because why not!The portion size was generous but not overbearing. They had the mexican coke glass bottles which was a great choice to wash the food down with. I got the brown to top it all off and it was amazing. Chipotle, Qdoba, Halal Guys even have nothing on Juicy Platters. I definitely will be coming back with the family!“
“Great atmosphere, and Eli, the owner and a very friendly guy, does everything right when it comes to taking care of his customers. I stopped by here for several glasses of wine and a plate of shrimp mango ceviche, which was quite balanced between the citrus and sweet notes. The atmosphere inside is very cozy.We will be returning another night when one of our favorite bands stops by here to play some music.“
“The staff at Antioch Restaurant were attentive and explained the items that were brought out.- The offered a great wine selection and is BYOB.-Karişik meze starter : Fried Eggplant With Tomato Sauce, Hummus, Tatziki, Eggplant Salad, Babaganush, and Labne were absolutely delicious-Every dish was flavorful and highlighted Mediterranean spices. My favorites were the Lamb Adana, grilled meatballs and balloon bread paired with the Karişik meze tabaği.-I also thoroughly enjoyed the Sutlac (rice pudding) and kazandibi (milk pudding). This was my first time ever trying it.-This is a great place to visit if looking for authentic Mediterranean/Turkish cuisineVegetarian options: Great selection of plant based items such as falafel, eggplant stew, lentil dishes, an array of salad options, pasta and pizza.Parking: There is metered parking throughout the block of the restaurant“
“I just finished dining here for the 2nd time and my experience was amazing.I had The Lamb Shish & Chicken Adana combination platter, the meats were well done and the flavor was on point.Our waiter Salih suggested we try the Turkish Coffee and it did not disappoint, he made our experience 100% better.“
“Amazing staff and amazing food! I often place large lunch orders for my team and they always take care of us. Not only is their food incredible (that falafel souvlaki HITS every time), the chef and management team are so kind to us-- we are so lucky to have developed a relationship with these wonderful people.“
“There are so many Greek places to choose from but we always keep coming back! The food is so delicious and everything is so fresh! Oh and the tzatziki is amazing! Also, the takeout bags always have a really cute drawing, our complements to the artist!“
“We had a large group dining-in late at night (11 pm) and the owner and staff were very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The food came out relatively quickly despite our group size and everyone was beyond impressed with their selection. Lovely restaurant and great atmosphere, will definitely be back!“
“I had the pleasure of dining at Lulu Lounge recently, and I must say that it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the host and seated at a cozy table with a lovely view of the bustling dining room. The menu offered a diverse selection of dishes, each expertly prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I opted for the Lamb Chops, and it exceeded all expectations in terms of taste and presentation.The service at Lulu Lounge was impeccable, with attentive servers who were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant yet inviting, creating a comfortable and enjoyable dining atmosphere. Overall, my experience at Lulu Lounge was outstanding, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.“
“Absolutely outstanding! I recently visited Pidde Lahmajun and was blown away by both the flavor and service. Tunç and the entire team truly know how to make a customer feel special. Every bite of the Lahmajun was a delightful journey of taste, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The ambiance was welcoming, and the staff, especially Tunç and his friends, were incredibly attentive and friendly. It's rare to find a place that excels in both food quality and customer service, but Pidde Lahmajun does just that. A solid 10/10 experience. Highly recommend!“
“Just came in so late today before shut down ordered chicken over rice white sauce hot sauce bbq sauce man these guys no matter the time always make you feel welcome man the food and energy in this place ???? and when I eat this food this food I forget to have a beverage lol no bull man guys and they open late ? thank u guys“
“We were there waiting for the taxi to take our suitcases. They kindly kept them for us and didn't give us any problems. We had something while we were passing and it was incredibly good, 10 service and delicious food, totally recommended.The order was slightly delayed and they gave us freshly squeezed orange juice, incredible!“
“I found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try because I was in town on business. The atmosphere was very inviting. My server was pleasant, knowledgeable, and very helpful in many recommendations. I ended up with the lunch special kebab. It came with the most delightful salad featuring best flavors! The main course was a generous portion of chicken, rice, and another salad. I would definitely make it a point to visit here again!“
“Just moved to Rutherford TODAY and I’m not used to having good pizza in NJ, I prefer NYC slices. Ordered a few pies this afternoon for all our friends and family who are helping us move and I needed to take a few minutes to write this review. So excited that this is my new fav pizza place! Pepperoni, Plain, and Sausage is so tasty!! Love the pepperoni cups that curl up! ❤️❤️❤️“
“Hands down this is the best falafel I have ever had. So fresh, so tasty, and is truly made with love. The interior of this restaurant is very unique and homey. I also had the kufta sandwich that has since become my new favourite. The service is always top notch and the plate presentation is always very impressive.“
“First, service is 5 stars. Food and atmosphere are def a 4 stars. I saved the review for my 2nd visit cause I wanted to be fair. Like most places in this area, the view is amazing. There are plenty of seats, but I still recommend to reserve at peak hours and weekends. The crowd seems to be familiar with the place. I liked the food, but the service is def what stands out the most. Portions are right and the time is very decent. I believe prices are on high side, but consistent with the area. I would def recommend this place.“
“Great meal before a show at Tarrytown Music Hall! Excellent service! Fresh and delicious food. We ordered shawarma sandwich, amazing and hummus with falafel! It was the best falafel I have ever had. Light, crispy outside, fresh served on creamy hummus with a piece of fresh, hot & soft pita bread. We even ordered more falafel!The prices are great as well. We will definitely be back!“
“We had our baby's first birthday party / Korean dohljanchi at Mado and it could not have been more perfect. Aret and everyone at the restaurant were so wonderful to work with. They were happy to work with my requests and made party planning so easy. The space was the perfect size with ample parking for our guests. The food was amazing and everyone raved about the pillowy bread, dips, and entrees. Highly recommend it whether it's for a family meal or event. (Photos by Lisi Halabi Photography)“

“I had a meal first time from Hakki Baba and I think I’ll be a regular. The food is authentic. The restaurant itself has a great vibe. I only had a quick glance at other dishes. I want to try them all. Great experience.Parking: In front of the restaurant.“
“I have been passing by this small restaurant for the past 4 years and wanting to try it out. Finally I went and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised that the small restaurant, which doesn’t look like much from the outside has amazing Mediterranean Turkish food. I was very impressed. Everything was fresh And delicious. This is definitely gem in the ruff . The restaurant is very welcoming and comfi . It’s a family business, and Adam was very helpful and pleasant as a waiter and he told me that his family owns the business. They take a lot of pride in the food that they serve. Also the price for what I paid for lunch was a great deal I got a Shepherds salad. Chicken kebab with rice, and another grain called Bulgar. they also gave me on the house a Turkish custard, which was very delicious. The lunch also comes with a soda. This is a must try hotspot, especially for lunch. I will definitely be back to eat the delicious Turkish food.“
“Very friendly and cute place. The beef shawarma wrap was delicious and my wife loved her quinoa salad. They also sell very unique Middle Eastern food products. I tried the sweet pickled garlic and it was really good. Tasted exactly like the Korean pickled garlic.“
“Best shawarma & falafel in the city. Great overall experience. The owner was extremely kind and welcoming. My wife and I went in and placed our order and were treated with a free delicious falafel and some karak chai while we waited on our food. Food did not disappoint and will definitely be going back. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.“
“Had lunch here on a Wednesday with my aunts. Seafood dishes were delicious. The hot chocolate was ok, a little too sweet for us, but not as rich as we expected. The staff was nice and attentive without being over-bearing. Fine atmosphere for conversation. Would highly recommend for well-prepared foods, excellent service, and relaxing atmosphere.“
“Food is delicious here, always fresh and in good quantity, however prices have continued to go up since I first started going there and also with ordering takeout/delivery. Sometimes just ordering a Greek salad and a gyro, when all is said and done it's nearing $50. I know prices are up everywhere, but some things don't warrant such a jump in price. And definitely shouldn't stay at that price for the long term. Hoping prices will come down as food prices begin to improve.“
“I'm happy! Ordered through door dashAs soon as I opened my order I knew I was gonna be satisfied. Ordered lamb over rice platter, popcorn chicken and oreo cheese cake. DELISH!? ???**had to came back and edit thisToday is the 1nd time ordering from here on doordash. The 1st time (yesterday) was bussing today Sunday (3/24/24 7:40pm) disgusting!! Ordered the same lamb over rice platter. I called ahead as before to ask for sauce on side instead of on meal. Recieved NO SAUCE!! FOOD WAS ALSO COLD AND DIDNT TASTE AS FRESH. IM DISAPPOINTED ?“
“I recently dined at Settepani and was blown away by the quality of the food. The steak was cooked to perfection, the ravioli was marvelous, and the calamari was fantastic. The drinks were delicious and the service was top tier. Our host, Jean Claude, was amazing and provided excellent recommendations. The pastries were also tasty. Overall, a fantastic dining experience.“
“Today my husband chose this place to celebrate his birthday, which is quite close to home and I already knew that it had a beautiful view. What I not imagined was that it had such delicious food, but the food is not the best, Didi's service The young woman who attended us was everything, I mean 100% recommended, there are people who come with their heart and make you feel special.“
“I recently dined at Saray Turkish restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a touch of traditional Turkish decor. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The food was the highlight, with each dish bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed the mezze platter and the succulent lamb kebabs. The prices were reasonable for the quality of the food and service. Overall, I highly recommend Saray for an authentic and enjoyable Turkish dining experience.“
“Recently, my wife and I discovered Symposium, a hidden gem in North Manhattan, while driving home. Its Greek sign beckoned us into an experience reminiscent of the cozy taverns in Athens, where entering feels like stepping into a secret cave or basement. Celebrating Greece’s Independence Day and the Feast of the Annunciation on March 25th, we were delighted by the traditional dishes that paid homage to these significant events, much like the celebrations back home in Greece.The highlight of our meal was the cod with garlic spread (μπακαλιάρο σκορδαλιά), a signature dish for the day, embodying the essence of Greek tradition. Our feast also included crispy octopus, kalamarakia, French fries sprinkled with feta, shrimp saganaki, a refreshing Greek salad, authentic Greek coffee, portokalopita, and the sublime galaktoboureko. Each dish transported us to Greece with its authentic flavors, as if homemade.Accompanied by a “Savvatiano” crisp, cold white Greek wine, served in an ice bucket to maintain its chill, the dining experience was elevated. The staff’s politeness and hospitality added to the warmth of the evening, and the generous aperitif of Samos wine from the manager before our departure was a gracious touch.Symposium stands out not just for its genuine Greek cuisine but also for being the sole authentic Greek restaurant above 110th Street in North Manhattan, making it a perfect choice for our family. We are grateful for the memorable evening and look forward to returning. Thank you, Symposium, for a wonderful dining experience. Until next time.“
“Visited for dinner with my family. We ordered the Mezze dip platter to share, and it was the highlight of the meal. Very generous and comes with hot assorted breads.We ordered entrées to share. The schnitzel, pargiot, lamb kofta, chicken shish kebab were delicious, and we had sides of Israeli salad, green beans, rice, and hummus with beef. Everything was hot and fresh. We had a few pictures of lemonade of homemade lemonade with mint. We had chocolate mousse for dessert.Service was excellent. Atmosphere is great for families. This is some of the best high-quality kosher food, and I would recommend for any occasion :)“
“Solid place. Out of risk, that when i post this it may be more difficult to get a table..... but food is awesone... and service is well the best.... but tbjs needs to be recognized. 5 stars ! BYOW too and no corkage fee too. Sweeeeeeet!“
“I picked my food yesterday at restaurant while i waited for it, the lady (anastasia) enlightened me more about the menu and the food. She was great and friendly!!! definitely at place that i will be back for food and the for the great customer service.“
“This place is DELICIOUS.I originally found this place online via Postmates and loved the food. I recently came here for dinner with my parents and loved it.The staff was super kind and helpful and the food was delicious. I will be back again.“
“I had been to del arte before and always had a wonderful experience. When my mother passed away in december we reached out to have her repast there. They were WONDERFUL to work with. Everything went seamless and was perfect. The staff is wonderful! The owners are the kindest people ever & especially during such a difficult time were caring, understanding and just really great to work with. We were so happy we booked my sisters baby shower and again had the same experience. I can not recommend them enough.“
“Hooooo boy that red sauce is ???. Kept wondering why the lady behind the counter be looking at me like I was insane when I told her to pour more on it like three times. Anyways. The combo platter is fantastic, quick service and very reasonable price for the quality and quantity. Zero complaints here. Great experience, will absolutely be coming back... probably gonna go easier on the red sauce tho.“
“Awesome food! Best Persian restaurant/ chelo kababby in the area hands down!!! Happy new year!Vegetarian options: Great salads and falafel! Provides fresh awesome feta cheese on an already great salad.Kid-friendliness: Very friendly staff place and awesome owner.“
“Delicious food and cute little gem of a restaurant. Had the place to ourselves on a week night. The place is BYOB if you would like any alcoholic beverage. Liquor store right across the street almost. Will return for sure to try other choices off the menu. ☺️Vegetarian options: Had the vegetable stew and it was so yummy. The hummus, red lentil soup and avocado baba ganoush were total winners for my vegetarian selection.“
“Came in for the first time. The place is clean and well decorated. Nick (behind the counter) allowed me a few moments to browse the menu and then greeted me. We talked it through from beginning to end and he politely provided his recommendations based on what I said I liked EVEN down to which dressing to choose so as not to combine too many salty flavors based on my other choices. The food was outstanding. I had the create your own bowl: octopus & shrimp. For a quick healthy lunch spot this place is 5/5. Food & genuine service ?.“
“Hidden gem on Bergenline Avenue in North Bergen. The storefront doesn't seem like much and when you walk in the place is sparse but oh the food. Taste is amazingly delicious. Everything is spiced to perfection from the appetizer to the dessert. The potatoes with three sauces was amazing. I especially liked how flavorful the sauces were. The causa with chicken didn't disappoint. The lomo salteado was excellent and the ají de gallina was stupendous. For dessert we has the tres leches and a flan like dessert simply stupendous. Highly highly recommended.“
“Izzy was my waiter and host- very welcoming, helpful, and professional. As great and fresh as the food was, Izzy definitely went above and beyond to make a great experience even better.The food was authentic, freshly prepared but came out in a timely fashion. Baklava was light and flaky- the vanilla ice cream accompanying it had crushed pistachios on top- really went above and beyond for the little touches that might get overlooked by some clients. Shows a real pride in their food and service.Decor was of a bistro and had ample space. I did not feel crowded by other tables or patrons.Glad I happened on this restaurant. I will definitely be back again soon.Parking: 100+Wheelchair accessibility: 1st floor access directl from parking lot which had well over 100 spaces shared between the strip mall.“
