“I have nothing but good things to say about steak 85. Every time I've always been there the service and food has always been amazing. The ambiance is nice as well. They get 5 Stars all around from me. Went there on a couples dates and everyone was satisfied with the service and food . Wouldn't hesitate to go back there. Also Moscato is the only wine I drink , most steakhouses don't even carry it but that did and it was so good.”
“This is my favorite restaurant in New Brunswick, and I am not even vegan. Everything is delicious, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, and the staff are welcoming and friendly. Great place!”
“Ramen Nagomi feels like you landed in a Tokyo ramen shop. This place is popular so don’t be surprised by a wait at dinner time especially during the colder months. This is my favorite traditional ramen shop in all of NJ.All their ramens are stellar. Rich flavors but not overly heavy. I’ve tried many of their ramens including seasonal ones and every one has been on point.Their takoyaki starters is perfection. We get it almost every visit. We also enjoy the cucumbers for a refreshing start.Service is always quick and friendly.”
“My visit here was super enjoyable and everything was really tasty. They have really good portions and a variety of flavors through out the dish’s. I would recommend the baba ghanoush and any of the kebabs. This is also a BYOB restaurant which is very convenient. It’s Also very pretty inside and outside that adds to the great atmosphere. Would recommend to try here Forsure.Kid-friendliness: Kids allowedWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp”

I will be coming back, this was a memorable experience!”

Restaurants with Delivery
“We arrived early and were able to be seated. I made reservations for their new room, the “Cove” advertised as more intimate. Thinking quiet, perfect for date night. There were 2 large tables of 8 or more. Tables close together so noise level was at a high. Food was good. Lobster bisque, prawns, sea bass, pappardelle.”

“I absolutely love this place. Everything is fresh and delicious. These dogs are creative, are made in house, and the options are endless. I am consistently going back to try them all.Vegetarian options: Can switch out any hot dog with a soy dog”
“I’m glad I stopped by on a whim. I was greeted by a small, cozy cafe and got a yummy London fog latte, which had a good strong lavender flavor. Pets are welcomed, which I found out when a cute poodle walked in and jumped on the couch. There is a parking lot, which is a huge bonus in NB. My only issue is that sometimes this place is too busy xD. It’s super popular and frequented by Rutgers students, so finding a table and navigating around the tables may be hard :(.I didn’t see any Iranian/Persian sweets or specials but I guess I wasn’t looking closely enough.”

“Amazing hidden gem in New Brunswick. I go here to study. The space is beautiful; spacious and lively with wonderful plants. The food is great, I love their bacon and egg breakfast sandwich and tuna sandwich. Great assortment of drinks, my favorite is the Paris tea. Finally, the staff is friendly and there are plenty of open areas to hang out or do work. They have free wifi, a restroom, and outlets.Parking: Side street parking is available if you do not mind walking but there is also a parking garage down the street.”

“Great little spot. The combination of the hot tea, lofi beats, and the rain outside led to quite the atmosphere and vibe. I tasted the chai as well, and it had a very authentic and hearty flavor, it was quality. The roll up omelette was super tasty, great flavor combo. Cookie to finish it up was a great lightly sweet snack to finish it off. Definitely will be coming back here.”

“SMASHVILLE's smash fries are an absolute game-changer! The combination of perfectly cooked spicy beef patties, crispy fries, melted cheese, and savory onions is simply irresistible. Each bite is bursting with flavor and texture, creating a mouthwatering experience unlike any other. If you haven't tried their smash fries yet, you're definitely missing out on a culinary delight that's worth every bite!Parking: No parking available there usually”
“The best tacos!! Keep it up always and you will never lack customers!! The delicious tacos al pastor and enchilada not to mention with their fresh and finely chopped onion their fresh cilantro the super fresh cucumbers, radishes, lemons that's how it should be! Just a little less fat but they are ”

“Everything was amazing from the coffee to the fresh orange juice to the food itself. I only with it was closer to home. We couldn’t have been happier with everything. Best breakfast i have had in a LONG time.”
“I really liked this restaurant! My party tried the calamari, ropa vieja, vaca frita, chicken, and two mojitos. Everything was flavorful and the portion sizes matched the price. The only difficult or confusing thing was the parking situation. There was advertised valet parking next to the restaurant for $15, so I chose a nearby public parking deck and walked over. However, walking out I saw there were also Park Mobile spots out back that weren’t advertised as well. Lastly, if you’re there on a Friday or Saturday night, they have a 2 hour limit for each table.”
“First time at Clyz since new ownership. Was a St. Patty's Day work celebration so no ordering from regular menu but rather a buffet setup with about 7 different dishes. Food was good. Service was great from waitress coming around for drink orders. They had orange whiskey for my fav orange whiskey mule! I and the coworkers I spoke to would have preferred not having the lights dimmed as it was way too dark and there was no need for such "mood" lighting.”
“As MiddleEasterner, I definitely suggest this high quality Turkish restaurant for Kebab lovers. The food was so delicious as you feel you are in Istanbul and the hospitality proves it.Don’t forget to order Ayran (yougurt drink) as drink and Keshkul as dessert.I will come back again !”

“Best Ethiopian cuisine in New Jersey and one of our favorite restaurants. The food is amazing and we can never get enough. Family-style eating at its best. We especially love the beef and lamb dishes, and the veggies are awesome, especially the collard greens. Highly recommended.”
“The Great: stuffed mushrooms, very garlic bread, mushroom gnocchiThe Good: chicken scarpariello, potato gratin, asparagus, cheesecakeThe Okay: spinach & mushroom ravioliService was great and never pushy.”
“What an amazing oasis on a cold rainy February evening. We could have stayed all weekend. Everything fires on all cylinders. We came for the steak and the wine and were blown away by the cocktails, appetizers, dessert and service!”
“for New Brunswick, this is a solid bowl of Ramen. Order the black garlic and regular tonkosu. Good stuff and well seasoned. very generous with the toppings and vegetables. Both halves of the egg included. One thing I would mention is that the meat is really thin and could have use more meat to the order. But I guess thats just part of inflation ! Will be back!”
“Appetizing and flavorful cuisine! Great Local business!EDIT: This place is always fantastic. Their food is absolutely mouthwatering and delicious. I have ordered from there too many times to count and they always get it right.The definite bonuses are the value and portion size.Items Ordered:Mantu: Savory and slightly spicy dumpling with meat and lentils. Absolutely delicious. Sop up the tasty sauce with some of the Afghan bread!Ashak: Also a savory, mildly spiced meat filled dumpling. Very tasty.Vegetable Bolani: Scrumptious! A hard call, but this is my favorite dish. Thin, lightly crisp flatbread filled with potatoes.Lamb Gyro: Super tender and perfectly spiced! Rice is cooked well and the small (very small) salad is a nice touch.Falafel: This is a solid dish but the falafel could benefit from a bit more seasoning.Lamb Adana Wrap: Very flavorsome but needs more meat.Pros:1. Consistently outstanding and well cooked food.2. Extremely friendly and accommodating service.3. Great value.4. Substantial portions with very fresh ingredients.5. Well packaged for delivery.Cons:1. The food is addicting and I cannot stop ordering from them!2. If you like chicken, try another venue as lamb and beef are their forte.”
“Great food, service, and atmosphere. I ordered the roast duck noodles (spicy), and it was delicious. Definitely recommended getting it spicy. Great flavor, and you literally will drink the broth. It was so good. Service was great, order at the counter and they will bring the food to you if you dine in. While I was there, quite a few people were in and out, getting to go and take out meals. The atmosphere is very comfortable and the music is perfect. I will definitely be back.”
“Went with 6 people. Kiara was our server and so kind. What a great time we had. I'm going back. Fish and chips.....huge portion and ?. Give our waitress Kiara some props ? ? ?.”
“Pizza City on Easton Ave is a New Brunswick gem. The bacon chicken ranch slices are amazing. They cook the pizzas perfectly. You can expect a nice crispy pizza, never burned. Good value, I never feel ripped off. The only thing they can improve is the interior is aging, but that certainly doesn’t change the quality of the food. The cheesesteak is also delicious. It’s New Brunswick so parking can be a challenge. Very nice staff!Parking: Not a lot of parking spots. Your best bet is trying to park on the side streets”
“Visited after a Rutgers BB game. Good pub food. Was told that the beers that were tried were good (I stuck to wine). We had 2 drinks comped due to a bartender error. Service was prompt and good. Would return.”
“We had not been to Delta’s in over 10 years, and we decided to stop by on our way home from northern New Jersey. We excited to see that the flavor of the food had not been lost. The chicken and pork chops were absolutely delicious. The creamy cheesy Mac and cheese was so good too. The servers were attentive and were ready to assisted with anything they seem to anticipate our needs. We will definitely be back and will not be waiting another 10 years”
“Cool & polite staff, delicious coffee & pastries for reasonable prices. Calm atmosphere with comfy furniture & good music at the right volume to study but still be able to listen too. Will definitely come again!”
“I love this place!!!! The healthy juices and smoothies are amazing... our favorites are wake me up and stomach ease. They have any kind of tea for your needs. It's a well stock place too. DON'T BELIVE THE 1 STAR KAREN REVIEWS the couple that run this place are nice, some people just don't understand the culture.”

“I typically go here now to get my Dunkin fix. I switched during the pandemic, because the other on Hamilton kept giving my cheese & bread which I'm allergic to, or changing my order. I also stated going here because the manager from the New Brunswick train station was also the manager here. He's a very pleasant, friendly person.. and over the years would remember my coffee fave. Service has gotten better lately. My only downside is I've gone several times and they've been out of donuts, sandwiches, muffins. Overall, I like this location. They are located next to the Coach bus terminal, so the visual is a little different.Parking: There are a few parking spots in the front and lots more in the back. Which means you'd have to walk around to the front. They're located next to a laundry mat, so you'll share with them.”
“I've ordered and been here several times over the years. They've gotten somewhat better with not messing up the meals or omitting things. Thankfully ubereats refunded, but it's still annoying. The drive thru sometimes can be a long wait. I really only get the nuggets & fries from here, so I can't attest to the rest.Parking: There's several places to park. Handicap, curbside pick up”

“The atmosphere is great here. The DJ had a set going when we got there. Our service was attentive and very welcoming. Our server Rye, was so kind and genuine, and we were lucky to have such a helpful person serving us that night. The pork bao buns were outstanding and so were the pickle fries. The drinks were also excellent. It was one of our birthdays and we were happy to celebrate here. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner thoroughly and will be back again. Highly Recommended??”

“Excellent cute little local spot which is better than some of the chains. The tea is always excellent and well made and the bubbles are perfect. Lots of variety as well. As a Rutgers student this is well worth the trip to George St. and the bus stop isn't even to far to get back to College Ave. Way better than Akihi!”
“Great place!! To spend a weekend with the family, share and eat the best Mexican snacksParking: There's a lot free parking around and some of them you have to pay”
“Not usually in this area but I’ll be coming here when I am. the cafe is very open, sunny, the perfect atmosphere with many charging stations at every seat perfect for students. The food was absolutely delicious and the barista was so sweet and even gave us complimentary chocolate. Will definitely be coming back.”

“Pizza Margherita is The Best I’ve ever had in Jersey. Grilled Chicken is delicious. Salad is crisp and fresh. Cheesesteak hot freshly made exactly how I ordered it excellent flavor. Even the French Fries are delicious. The kids enjoyed their Plain Cheese Pie too. Maintenance of Restaurant atmosphere is clean with high standard. Professional friendly staff helped me bring everything to car. Thank you kindly PJ’S!!!”
“Solid spot for some phó. The vegetarian pho was very flavorful, portion almost didn't fit the bowl it was so big, so the price was reasonable. Will be trying more vegetarianand seafood options when I go back, definitely became a preferred local spot for me. Service was prompt, interior was clean and tidy.”
“I opted for the signature poke bowl and was not disappointed! I thought the fish was good quality, appreciated that the sauces were on the side so you can adjust how much you want, and the quick pick up time was a plus. The decor is interesting when you go in so definitely a nice place if you are looking for something a little different.”

“Your staff is always willing to make me happy and are very courteous and happy. Unlike Smoothie King, I always get what I want at Playa! ? All of my comments are referring to the Woodbridge Avenue, Edison location!Dietary restrictions: They offer dietary guidelines. I LOVE the Coco-Berry bowl which is not an option above.Parking: There are tons of parking spaces usually near the store.Kid-friendliness: Fun things to look at, cool art on walls, cool stickers.”
“Stopped in here while traveling for work and was pleasantly surprised. I had the New Orleans cold brew coffee and it was absolutely delicious, nice selection of baked goods too, would recommend.Dietary restrictions: Non dairy milk options available”
“Best Chinese food in New Brunswick by far!!! Prices are incredible, the food is so good, and the two people always working are so kind and generous!! Yue Wah forever!”
“The pizza here is so so good, especially the penne vodka and the chicken bacon ranch. Whenever we call, they say it’ll be ready for pickup in 5-15min so it’s always super quick too.”
“I was surprised by how good the food was. I got a burrito bowl with carne and it was fantastic. The meat was tender and savory, and the combination of flavors left me wanting more. The atmosphere was really nice and casual. The dining area was semi outdoors with a sliding roof that they will open/close depending on the weather. I'll definitely be coming back and recommend it to anyone dining in this area.”

“This is a Spanish Bodega something like a miniature convenience store. They have a large selection of fresh produce as well. If you go in the back of the store they have a hot food section that seems to me is fresh every time I go in. There's usually several selections and two different sized trays of food. The smaller tray is about 5 or 6 in square and approximately two to 4 inches in depth and they pack it with food the larger tray is about three times this size. The larger tray is three section styrofoam tray. One section goes along the length of the tray then there are two smaller sections. Usually ufirst would choose rice either white or yellow rice with pinto beans cooked into it. They also have a pan of pinto beans in sauce if you want your rice to be wet. After choosing the rice and beans that you want they usually have two or three meats. I always get the chicken it falls off the bone and they give you a large portion equivalent to a whole chicken leg and thigh I would say at least a pound worth of chicken. Or you can choose steak that has been cooking for hours and can easily be torn with your teeth, no knife needed. On occasion I have seen sweet maduros or platanos or yuca that I'm pretty sure they boil in possibly chicken broth so it is full of flavor. The small tray is $4 and the large tray is $6. If you want to add a couple of pieces of yuca or maduros, they usually add $1 for each additional item. The trays are so packed full that the juices are usually running out the sides so they put it in a black plastic bag with a plastic fork and napkin for you. The food is the perfect temperature for digging in as soon as you get it out to your car. I can easily get to meals usually 3 meals except the third meal might not have any chicken out of a large container when I add yuca for $7. Even to meals for the $7 is a great value and the flavor is wonderful. If I'm not mistaken it's Dominican flavors. Although one time they had spaghetti which was just spaghetti noodles and some cheap spaghetti sauce which I think tasted more like tomato soup and no seasoning, meat or cheese which was terrible and I felt it was a complete waste of $4 that they charged for a medium sized styrofoam tray. My one-year-old son wouldn't even eat it it was terrible and I definitely will never get the spaghetti again. Like I mentioned earlier this is also a bodega so while you're in there getting your lunch or dinner for later, you could also pick up a pack of cigarettes or some Lottery. I looked around the store for some sort of pastry possibly a brownie or cookie and couldn't find anyting appealing. Although they did have some Spanish pastries but I wouldn't chance buying without knowing if I would like them or not. They look like the type of pastries one would eat only if they had it before.”
“Food is generally very good. Love the ambiance and the staff is friendly. But…..We went for the iftaar buffet and it was not as good it could have been. The choice of selection was not very impressive. There was only one grilled item and the both the curries were very similar in taste. Nonetheless, i would recommend this place for but strictly for a la carte.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I enjoyed the fast service and accuracy of the staff members. I usually get a venti iced caramel macchiato and sometimes other small bites. I am also considering working at Starbucks so I can learn more about the products and how it works.”
“We are from NH and we were visiting family in the area. In NH the Gloria Jeans is an hour away. We missed their coffee and found this place. The service was wonderful, the people were friendly and kind. The place was clean and tidy. Thank you for an amazing experience and wonderful coffee❤️”
“A warmer approach on the night days in my process of proclaimed and certainly open then my preference will grow out on my behalf of a U.s boy growing up. Can't wait to swing at this occupation place.”
“Much, much , much better. Food, service, atmosphere, exterior, and interior is 100% much better. That could only mean there is a new franchise owner for this location. Pavement of drive by was smooth, the meal display was working, the interior was new, customer service greeted with smiles. The cashier counter, tables, and fountain drink location was clean. Combo suggestions were given. Please keep it up. Driving all the way to another Popeyes shouldn't be a local customers 1st choice!! Great job team!Parking: Free but shared lot with dunkin donuts but never had a problem finding parking.”
“I stopped here late last night on my way home and had such a pleasant experience because of the manager on duty. She was the sweetest and was very patient with me while I was ordering. The little things in life really do mean the most so I just want to thank her for her kindness and her positivity energy. Thank you for making it so that my time there was quick and hassle-free!”
“Delicious food and amazing service!! Very very happy with our meal here.Vegetarian options: There is a beyond burger and a beyond meat pizza, along with an excellent corn chowder and several other options.”
“JOSÉ is AWESOME and so is the Food at Ay Caramba! This is my "go to" spot! Everything Supremo! If you want to be treated like royalty and leave completely satisfied...stop through! You WILL thank me later????”
“Visited after a Rutgers BB game. Good pub food. Was told that the beers that were tried were good (I stuck to wine). We had 2 drinks comped due to a bartender error. Service was prompt and good. Would return.”
Cheap Eats
“I love this place! Felt so homey and like i was at my aunt’s house or something! I recommend this place to anyone that is looking for good food, good customer service and a homey atmosphere.”
“Love, love, love this place forever and will always be my go-to spot for great vibes and drinks! Riley and Parker are such amazing bartenders and keep the vibes up in the pub at all times! The drinks are some of the best I've had in New Brunswick, and the prices are just reasonable compared to some subpar drinks I've paid more for in other pubs in the area.”
“Came here for breakfast, got a sausage egg and cheese on a roll. Food was pretty good but not anything to rave about. They’ve got standard breakfast items, lunch options, and (interestingly) middle eastern/Mediterranean options. Prices are pretty solid for the area, got the roll and a coffee for $5.80. Good little cafe to stop in if you’re in the area looking for a budget bite.”
“A no frill restaurant. We weren’t sure if the server was fluent with English. The service was adequate.We had a burrito bowel, one verde con pollo (chicken w green sauce) tamale, one mole con pollo (chicken with mole) tamale, and a chicken tostada. For drinks we had jarrito mandarine and tamarind piña.The burrito was standard. The verde con pollo was delicious and the tostada was generous and tasty. The mole sauce was more bitter than sweet; it’s different from most places. The tamarind piña was good too.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a small place with upstairs, no good for wheelchairs”
“An honor to eat food from this location and eat j*** chicken from here for the first time. The lady taking my order was incredibly gracious and helped inform me about the menu. The mac and cheese was great. The food was hot even through the bag so I knew it was fresh.”
“Excellent establishment and very friendly staff. Only issue is that on Sundays there's only one staff person working and she will usually close the shop and remain inside but lock the doors at least two hours before supposed closing time at 3:00 p.m.Parking: Located attached to the building.”
“VERY GOOD, fresh and authentic Mexican food. A Very friendly and welcoming gentleman took my takeout order. As a Black/African American Born and raised in New Brunswick, NJ, I have driven past this GEM countless times but TODAY was my first time dining. Stopped in quickly for takeout lunch because I was in the mood for GOOD pork tacos. Walked inside and immediately felt like I was in Mexico and I say that in a positive respect for the culture way. I immediately enjoyed the Very traditional atmosphere with locals enjoying lunch. Nothing fancy, just regular people enjoying GOOD authentic Mexican Food and there was a PLETHORA of selections on the menu. I can't wait to visit again and try new things.”
“A hidden gem on Easton Ave. The enchiladas with mole are a solid go-to and you have the option of adding meat inside. The food is delicious and the decor inside is very much traditional.”
“Excelente lugar para comer. Agradable atmosfera y buena y deliciosa comida. I do highly recommend this restaurant's excellent service and beautiful atmosphere. Great prices are valuable for customers.”
“Everything is delicious, the only thing is that you have to call with plenty of time since it gets very busy and when that happens, the girls stop answering the phone so as not to take more orders! That's very annoying - They need more employees, your business has grown, congratulations!!”
“I love their chicken sandwiches, it’s very authentic and reasonable price. They also have a good selection of tacos and sweets. The manager Juan is very friendly and attentive. He’s always willing to help and have the customer feel welcome. ???????????????????”
“Quite literally the best BEC bagels in New Brunswick. Mozz sticks and fries had the most perfect crisp and the food is so fresh and good. Ordered on uber eats so my coffee order got a little messed up w sizes but I called and they said they would give me a discount on my coffee the next time I come in so that's good. Also almost never a line and seems to be a family business which to me is more comforting than spending money at a chain restaurant bc not only are you getting great food, but you're also supporting small businesses”
“Tiny little place. Good food especially for the price. I got a pork special. Rice and black beans were really good. The small side salad was good including the dressing. Pork was thin cut and pretty good. For $11 this special was very much worth it.”
“I stumbled upon this hidden gem, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the experience! The fusion of bubble tea and coffee offerings here is a match made in heaven. From the moment I walked in, the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee greeted me.Their bubble tea selection is extensive, offering a delightful range of flavors that cater to both traditionalists and adventurous taste buds. The tapioca pearls were perfectly chewy, providing that satisfying texture I always look for in a good bubble tea.”
“I grew up on there hot pastrami subs and let me tell you they’re one of a kind. I wish the pastrami subs were as good here in Baltimore as they are in Jersey ,I can’t even lie. Check them out if you haven’t already it’s a great establishment with great tasting food!”

“Been with my coworker for lunch a few times over the past few months. Food is always delicious and great service. Some of my favs have been the prime cut burger with cheddar and the seared chilled ahi tuna salad (gorgeous salad!).”
“Our server Mike, was great!!! We had a wonderful dinner and great server!!! His serving partner, Gabriel was just as great!! They make a great team, the food recommended by Mike was a huge hit!!! Ask for Mike and Gabriel when you get there!!!”
“One of the best restaurant in New Brunswick Downtown, I will recommend a full meal who wants to completely enjoy the meal starting from hot and sour chicken soup and Dynamite Chicken and Dim sums. Main course you can select based on your palette. I will for sure recommend their ChowMein. They have good selection of mock-tails too. I personally like the Mango Mojito.”
“I like to come here to have a drink with my friends from time to time. Its aways packed but the music is good and you can play pool. The staff is super friendly but i wouldnt bring my wife here. It is diverse but mostly latin american patrons hang out. I have noticed that security its okay, i always get padded down at the door. It is very loud, so you cant have a regular conversation.”
“I just went but the attention of the ladies is very bad, they look at you in a bad way, I was standing there, other people were serving me except for me, so I told them if I was invisible, very bad customer service, the ladies are always angry, and twice as much as the sauce. It turns out ”

“Lovely place all the food was good just wish the prices were oh so slightly cheaper and that they had ph/ hydrogen water, I truely believe this place would be way more popular with slightly better prices !!! And if more people knew about it like please push your marketing out more!!!!!”
“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!!!!”
“One of the best restaurant in New Brunswick Downtown, I will recommend a full meal who wants to completely enjoy the meal starting from hot and sour chicken soup and Dynamite Chicken and Dim sums. Main course you can select based on your palette. I will for sure recommend their ChowMein. They have good selection of mock-tails too. I personally like the Mango Mojito.”

“SMASHVILLE's smash fries are an absolute game-changer! The combination of perfectly cooked spicy beef patties, crispy fries, melted cheese, and savory onions is simply irresistible. Each bite is bursting with flavor and texture, creating a mouthwatering experience unlike any other. If you haven't tried their smash fries yet, you're definitely missing out on a culinary delight that's worth every bite!Parking: No parking available there usually”

Joe the bartender was so friendly and made the best cocktails. Irene greeted us at the door and made sure we felt welcome and at home. From start to finish it was a wonderful experience. Definitely recommend! we will be coming back”

“Awesome place for comfort food in New Brunswick. The Mac n cheese bites are awesome. They pair it with a homemade “Big Mac sauce”. The cheese fries were great too, I believe they have their own homemade cheese sauce. Everything is priced in line with what you would expect for a local restaurant. It came to $35 for two people. Parking is a challenge but that’s New Brunswick for you.”
“Our waiter Alex was outstanding! He was fast on any refills whether it was the chips or the drinks we ordered. I swear he didn't stop moving. I saw him sweep, clean tables, fix the floor layout all while helping the customers he had. The food was amazing as always and reasonably priced for the sizing and quality of the food. It was incredible clean and there was a great atmosphere. I highly recommend the strawberry cheesecake Chimis they are the best dessert I think I've ever had! Definitely recommend coming here!”

“Amazing hidden gem in New Brunswick. I go here to study. The space is beautiful; spacious and lively with wonderful plants. The food is great, I love their bacon and egg breakfast sandwich and tuna sandwich. Great assortment of drinks, my favorite is the Paris tea. Finally, the staff is friendly and there are plenty of open areas to hang out or do work. They have free wifi, a restroom, and outlets.Parking: Side street parking is available if you do not mind walking but there is also a parking garage down the street.”

“one of the best places around new brunswick. not sure why it's 3 stars they have great customer service the chorizo, shrimp, and queso are beyond amazing this place is very good. MUST go to but don't go on a friday night as it will be packed with college kids.”
“Great little spot. The combination of the hot tea, lofi beats, and the rain outside led to quite the atmosphere and vibe. I tasted the chai as well, and it had a very authentic and hearty flavor, it was quality. The roll up omelette was super tasty, great flavor combo. Cookie to finish it up was a great lightly sweet snack to finish it off. Definitely will be coming back here.”
“Happened to come across this place when we were searching for Indian food at 11 PM. The restaurant offers amazing food options. The biryani is excellent, and their naanza was top-notch. Would highly recommend this place.”
“What a neat place!!! Decor is retro and the epitome of a diner from long ago. Food was delicious and I had excellent service-had the turkey dinner and glad it was back on the winter menu”
“Our family outing--a play at the George Street Playhouse and dinner at Sakana--was wonderful. The food, service and surroundings provided a perfect finale. While the all-you-can-eat menu is very popular, we chose to pick and choose. There is a huge selection, and we selected about eight appetizers to share along with salads and entrees. So fresh and good. Gyoza, sushi, endame, buns, hibachi, teriyaki, a mountain of food. And very, very reasonable. Served by a friendly staff and helpful robot. Thanks”
“I’m glad I stopped by on a whim. I was greeted by a small, cozy cafe and got a yummy London fog latte, which had a good strong lavender flavor. Pets are welcomed, which I found out when a cute poodle walked in and jumped on the couch. There is a parking lot, which is a huge bonus in NB. My only issue is that sometimes this place is too busy xD. It’s super popular and frequented by Rutgers students, so finding a table and navigating around the tables may be hard :(.I didn’t see any Iranian/Persian sweets or specials but I guess I wasn’t looking closely enough.”
“the cookies are deliciousonly dislike going here on the fact that the workers seem like they're ready to drop to the floor due to dealing with drunk and obnoxious college students all day. whatever they get paid is not enough”
“We arrived early and were able to be seated. I made reservations for their new room, the “Cove” advertised as more intimate. Thinking quiet, perfect for date night. There were 2 large tables of 8 or more. Tables close together so noise level was at a high. Food was good. Lobster bisque, prawns, sea bass, pappardelle.”
