“Drove from Cleveland to a meeting in NYC, specifically had a layover in New Brunswick, just to have dinner. This was my second trip for dinner in two months and it exceeded all expecations, the hoilday decor transformed the second floor. The service (Regan) was on point, pleasant and efficient with out being over bearing. The meal was the single greatest pasta dish I have had in the U.S. (wild boar ravioli) Already making plans to return, if you are with in a days drive, you really have no excuse not to enjoy a meal with them.”

“One of my favorite places to get food. Foods always sooooo good and the people are so nice, even when I'm being a little annoying with my 13 people orders (I always get help when I have like 4 bags of foods). As a Muslim it is really hard to find good halal places that won't cost an arm and a leg, and this is is really affordable for the amount of food you are getting. I hope this place never closes. 10/10 would recommend”

“Have heard a lot a good things about this place for the Scary Good Eats App.. You definitely have to have a game plan if you want anything here. Parking is not fun since you are in the heart of Rutgers. You have to hope you can snag a spot out front. The place itself is very small, no indoor seating, just order and you are on your way. Was not a cheap lunch for 2 sandwiches and some fries. Around $50 I believe. The sandwiches were good. Got the basic Cheeseteak with the Cooper Sharp. It was an exact amount of meat and cheese to fill the roll, which was soft and fresh. Was a solid Cheeseteak. The fries were very good as well. I will go back, but not out of my way. Very Good job for a new business.”

Noodle Is Calling 354 George St, New Brunswick Chinese • $

“Easily a top 3 restaurant in New Brunswick. I have turned several friends and colleagues onto it.
I don't know much about authentic Chinese food, but based on what I've seen, I think this is the real deal.
What solidified it's authenticity to me is the first time I tried the mala dish - it is crazy spicy and flavorful and perfect to warm you up and clear your sinuses! The fact that it isn't toned down for American palates, to me, is an indication that they make the real deal.
Their Sichuan pork dumplings are my new comfort food.
201 and 204 are my usual orders, but the Taiwanese stewed pork with rice (503) is phenomenal; crazy tender and flavorful meat.”

“They serve absolutely delicious lamb dish ❤️ Lamb Do Pyaza, Grilled Lamb, Lamb Korma, Lamb Kaboli Rice yum! The portions are decent for the price. Went there twice on Spring 2021 and last night, but seems like they put more Tahini in their Baba Ganoush lately because it’s got much creamier texture and less of eggplant taste than we had last year :/ Decent outdoor sitting in their backyard on warm days, the upstairs sitting room is a unique for us non Afghans, they have place for customers sitting sections (Afghan style) and they provide tables and chairs too incase you’d like to sit and dine there.

“The store is small but exquisite
I really like this colorful little shop
The store clerk is also very warm and friendly 😆
Good food made by passionate people tastes better too
The rice that looks like its grains are actually so fragrant
Türkiye is an Islamic country
Because I can’t eat pork🐽
Meats are mainly beef, mutton, and chicken
Tried the mutton skewers and chicken and it was very delicious (because I don’t eat beef)
Yogurt and Tomato BBQ is a mouth-watering dish
Be sure to order their desserts
Ordered rice pudding and baklava
I think the pudding made from rice must be tasteless.
The result tasted so dense and refreshing😳I was really surprised
Baklava is perfect for ants with a sweet tooth
It tastes like warm mille-feuille with pistachio sauce on top
Very delicious! ! But I don’t dare to eat too much because it’s too sweet🤣
Thanks to the boss for buying us many cups of tea and Turkish coffee
It tastes great with Turkish Delight”

“Went to NYC in search of New York Style pizza. During our trip we visited Little Italy, found a nice place, food was good, but was told the pizza would not be NY Style. On our last day, after a long walk in Hudson River Park, we searched for "the best New York Style pizza near me". Artichoke was in the search, had awesome reviews, we went for the walk. We ordered two of the Sampler w Artichoke, Pepperoni, Margherita, and Sicilian. The first bite of the Artichoke was incredible 😋👏 I had to try a slice of each. So full, but so happy 😁😍🎉Thank you for giving me my first New York Style pizza experience. We will return!! 👍”

“I don’t know why I haven’t been here before!

I was looking for some sugar-free protein bars and the gracious woman behind the counter was very welcoming and helpful.

I continued to peruse the store—which actually has a lot to offer—and I found all kinds of organic/healthy/non-gmo snacks, supplements, pantry items (including Korean products). There is even a little area to scoop bulk foods. **I especially encourage you to make your way to the very back.

I got a sugar-free protein bar and a very delicious (and healthy) Green Almond Smoothie, which I highly recommend.”

“The moat delicious and authentic Dominican Food!!!! The Sanchoco took me back to to the island and sweet memories of my visits to Santo Domingo to see my family every year. I had the shrimp and garlic sauce with the very distinctive Dominican white rice. The flan was to die for. The service was impeccable. I will be going back often. Prices were also great. There is nothing wrong with this establishment and I am very picky!!!!”

A staple in the grease trucks community that you have to try at least once. Whenever I’m around Rutgers I have to get one. Fat Nini w/ extra honey mustard!”

“One of my favorite places to get food. Foods always sooooo good and the people are so nice, even when I'm being a little annoying with my 13 people orders (I always get help when I have like 4 bags of foods). As a Muslim it is really hard to find good halal places that won't cost an arm and a leg, and this is is really affordable for the amount of food you are getting. I hope this place never closes. 10/10 would recommend”

“Have heard a lot a good things about this place for the Scary Good Eats App.. You definitely have to have a game plan if you want anything here. Parking is not fun since you are in the heart of Rutgers. You have to hope you can snag a spot out front. The place itself is very small, no indoor seating, just order and you are on your way. Was not a cheap lunch for 2 sandwiches and some fries. Around $50 I believe. The sandwiches were good. Got the basic Cheeseteak with the Cooper Sharp. It was an exact amount of meat and cheese to fill the roll, which was soft and fresh. Was a solid Cheeseteak. The fries were very good as well. I will go back, but not out of my way. Very Good job for a new business.”
