The manager Ali was indeed very professional, assertive and swift at defusing the situation before it could escalate not only did he diffuse the matter he was even polite when I came back. (Sorry I will not share details as to why I came back that matter is professionally private out of respect for the staff and team that work here)

Surprisingly, it was pretty much empty when we reached, mildly disappointing!!!!
Unsure if our choice was right, we entered all the same.
The food was sumptuous and tasty, though the portions could have been better!
The Adana kebab was very close to the authentic Turkish we tasted elsewhere.
The kunafa was disappointing.
Overall, it was a satisfying experience.”

KRAL PIDE 818 Main St, Paterson Turkish • $$

“The world is fascinated with Pizza. No matter where you go, you will find pizza, and in quite a few places it is considered as a “local food”. The local pizza in Argentina (for example) is distinctly Argentinian (and delicious). Likewise, Brazil has its own Brazilian style pizza, which is far more creative than Pizza in New York.

Fortunately, in NY / NJ we get Napolitano, New York, South Jersey / Philadelphia (Tomatoes pie), Chicago, Argentinian, Brazilian, Albanian, … you name it, we have all kinds of pizza.

One style that is growing in popularity is Turkish Pide (Pizza) and Lamacun. Just within a few miles from Montclair NJ you find Pide 28, Dervish, Park Pide, Star Pide, and Kral Pide (new kid on the block). On any given day, you cannot go wrong picking one of these joints.

First what is the difference between Pide and Lamacun. Lamacun is one of the many traditional signature Pide (perhaps one of the most popular).

Lamacun has a paper-thin dough crust (Pide has a thicker New York style crust).
Lamacun has an equally thin (thiny thin) layer of tomatoey minced meat (and bell pepper) topping (Pide has the usual Pizza style toppings).
Lamacun is round (Pide is a boat or canoe shaped).
Lamacun I love (Pide I merely like but you won’t have to twist my arm to go out for Pide).

My lunch today at the new joint Kral Pide (818 Main St, Paterson, NJ). Lamacun was amazing. Beautiful thin crust with some color, and zero flop.

The way it was traditionally eaten, you spread the fresh tomato & onion salad on the Lamacun,, squeeze some lemon juice on it, then roll it up and eat it like a wrap. It was traditionally eaten on the go.

Don’t forget to have some homemade Aryan (slightly salty and sour yogurt drink).”

I ordered two marry me cocktails and the second was better and stronger than the first. For starters, we had the tostones and guacamole topped with shrimp and churrasco. For entree my husband had the mofongo de churrasco and I had the garlic mashed potatoes with churrasco and lobster. Food was 10/10! Our server was attentive and informative regarding the dishes. Loved this place will definitely be back.”

“Tucked away behind the Main Street we stumbled upon this excellent restaurant. We ordered Spring rolls and a Japanese thingy for starter, both were really good. For mains it was Beef and Ginger and Prawn Fried Rice, again both excellent. So for 2 starters, 2 mains and 4 drinks it came to 58 euros, even excellenter ?…music choice was a bit different in that it was dance oriented but wasn’t out of place. We have booked again and would obviously recommend ?”

Not many hookahs are available, so it first come first serve. The place is a bit cozy, i wish it was bigger inside. From the outside, it doesn’t look like much, but the vibes and staff are cool. They play a lot of reggae and hip hop but depending on the crowd, the DJ willMix it up.”
