“Today, I visited Meet Moot and was captivated by its ambiance. The sophisticated furniture and stylish lighting fixtures created a delightful atmosphere. The beef ribs and lamb shank were exceptional—so tender and juicy! However, our experience started confusingly. The ordering process was disorganized and there was no one to welcome or guide incoming customers.Despite Meet Moot's potential for an excellent dining experience, it was marred by inconsistent service. For a premium price, I expect a higher standard of dining.”
“Highly recommend and I would come again!We came as a party of 10 in Ramadan but the service was great. The staff were kind and attentive, food was served quickly, and it was delicious! We also got hummus, shepherd salad, and fries as starters to share, which were great. For entrees, I got the chicken sis with rice and the chicken was tender. I love their white sauce as well, so good! Portions were perfect. With tip our total was $35 per person which is reasonable for the amount of food we had.”

“I had a great time, it is a nice atmosphere and I really liked the service and the person in charge of serving us was Lola and she is a very nice girl and the food was very good so highly recommended!!”
“Today was my first visit here, and it made me wish I lived closer! George and his staff made us feel like family, and the food was all so fresh and delicious. We started with an order of Zaatar fries [where have you been all my life]. They arrived crispy and seasoned to perfection. They need nothing, but a side of lebneh to dip in would take them over the top; note to self for next time... Next out was a huge and stunning platter, the mixed grill for two. See my pic for the lovely presentation of tasty grilled meats and veggies they served us. There was more than enough for us to share, and it was all thoughtfully prepared. Sure, I may have overdone it with the garlic sauce, but it was worth every minute! Just make sure everyone else has some, too.Not everyone belongs in this business, but George and his people certainly do; I feel like I just got back from having home-cooked lunch at my cousin's.Oh, don't miss the Iced Mint Lemonade! They serve it frozen, and it's a real treat.”

“On a recommendation of my cousin, I went here recently. I ordered a double meat shawarma with French fries. The shawarma was excellent. The beef quality was superior and there was plenty of meat. The place is very small from inside. There are literally only 2-3 bar stools. It's really meant for take out. I ordered at counter and since a stool was empty, decided to just eat there. I did end up taking a chicken shawarma for later. This place is a small mom n pop family owned business and I felt like some good ole family recipe and love was put into the ingredients. I'll be back soon again.”

I'm not from NJ and I've been to plenty of Taco Bells and this one has always been nice pretty clean the employees have always been more than ready and willing to fix any mess ups they look you in the eye they're pretty respectful and even when there's a long line or bunch of people waiting they usually don't take long to put the food out!”

It is not easy to do with 13 guest drinking all different orders etc . 10/10”

“I usually don't eat New Jersey Chinese food. Nyc has better, but win wah is up there with nyc Chinese food. Looks are deceiving to say the least. From the outside you'd think to yourself. Man! I wouldn't drink a can of soda from this place lol. But they say that the worse the Chinese place looks from the outside, the better it is. True story here”
“Angie was amazing she served us with the most attentiveness and didn’t miss a step. She made sure we were well taken care of and made sure we were happy at all times. Will definitely be back.”
“What day is it best to sample new menu items? What days are happy hour if you have this? How do you all interact with customers? I'd recommend it to others based on what I've seen on the menu”
“Excellent Dominican food. Their poultry fresh killed chicken stew is the best! The latino Dominican flavor isn't just on the surface of the chicken, it's deep inside to the bone too!”
“The food at Yakomoz restaurant is amazing. I felt like I was on a tour in Turkey with the meat bread I ate there. The meat was cooked perfectly and its fineness was wonderful. In an atmosphere where traditional flavors meet with modern touches, each bite offers a different pleasure. I will come back soon to taste other flavors.Also, the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of the restaurant were great. I would like to thank Yakomoz again for making me taste this taste.”

Sal makes some of the best breakfast in paterson. i heard people taking about florio buying mr gs and i didn't wanna believe it... but i ride pass a lot and recently noticed a sign that pretty much signifies mr gs will no longer be there. the end of an amazing era. soooo many paterson greats ate there at least once”
“Si quieren buscar lo auténtico Lo original y sentirse en un rinconcito 100% salvadoreño No importa el Tiempo de manejo porque La propietaria nos hace sentir muy n Nuestro pulgarcito de America Vengan no se arrepentirá Comida a la vista y a la carta”
“Foods good. Overpriced for sure due to having to set up your order for a plate combo at individual prices. Therefore the serving is dependent on how much you will budget. Service was okay. Ambiance is pretty much fish market feeling. Your well off calling in an order for pickup and eat it in your car.”
“Very great variety of lunch specials at a great price $10-12. I had the pechuga lunch with chicken soup and it was delicious. Place is small, but comfortable and the staff makes it feel like home.”
“The truth is they are the best tacos I have ever eaten. My husband is Mexican and he doesn't eat Mexican food from anywhere, because he says they don't have the Mexican flavor. But we love Brenda Lee's tacos at Patterson. And the staff is very attentive, which is something very important in any food place. And those spicy sauces and the roasted onions with the nopales!! Ummm and I better not even continue because it makes me hungry. ??????❤”
“Mamey with evaporated milk is my new fav!! The very nice employee recommended it to me and I was very pleased ! Clean environment and the staff all seemed very nice ! New smoothie place for the win !!”
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Star Pide, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, who exuded genuine hospitality.The ambiance of the restaurant transported me to the vibrant streets of Istanbul, with its tasteful décor and traditional Turkish music playing softly in the background. It truly set the perfect mood for an unforgettable dining experience.Overall, my experience at Star pide was exceptional. The food, the ambiance, and the service all exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Turkish cuisine. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!”
“bussin best oxtail i ever had (next to my moms) it was sooo good and the way they smother that gravy on the rice and peas make every bite feel like the first time”
“It’s stuffed potatoe with tuna(“causa rellena de atún”)or with chicken is delicious in all it’s presentations: the entrée from the menu, the one a la carte and the little balls of causa for catering! The purple drink(“chicha morada”)has the exactly taste of the traditional recipe; the owners and the employees are always happy and kind!”
“To all people complaining about wait times how about you actually look and see that this is an Italian restaurant and guess what, standard dinner times in Italy and most of Europe are about 2 hours, this is not Applebees..”
“I recommend that you eat vegan. The anticucho is very delicious and what can I say about the lomo saltado, it is spectacular and what can I say, Carolina's good attention, come and enjoy these ”
“It’s the stop i make every time i go to New York. Ive been to many Peruvian restaurants but this one is the one. From desserts, to lunch, to amazing dinner menu. I love to try many dishes there when I go. There is no let down when looking at the menu, is filled with many unique dishes that truly speak for themselves.”
“Finally got to eat here, and this place can match up with any restaurant in Union City. You can tell they cook with love and don't over salt the food (which can ruin a good meal). Been here twice already, I usually find a spot on the street. Food is fantastic.”
“I recommend this place, it is very good in terms of good seasoning and excellent presentation I rate it 5 stars because the truth is that when I eat in that place I feel like I am in Peru. Keep doing your best. Now I'm going to continue eating ?”
“Decent place. Had several beers and an appetizer at the bar. They added 18% to the bill which I hate. However when I tip a bartender for drinks it always comes out to about 25% or more. Say $1 or $2 dollar on average on a $4 beet. So instead of being pissed, I gave them the 18% although they would have gotten more if I figured a tip myself. I know latins are the worst tippers so they need to add. It's Paterson let's face it. The clientele is probably cheap and don't tip well.”
“Good service and food always respecting our tradition. The service will always depend on who serves it. Every time we arrive we look for Eduardo and he gives us excellent attention. Highly recommended, especially that combination of beans and dried beans.”
“Yesterday we celebrated my mother's birthday at this restaurant, Mr. Manuel served me and offered me a dish that I had never been offered before. It's called Fusion of Love and it's very delicious. They sang my mother's birthday with all the waiters and we had a very pleasant time, we will return soon... thank you Mr. ”
“The place is very clean. I ordered food for me to personally pick up and came across the news that someone had taken my order.Then they came back and gave it back.The food is spectacular! An incredible flavor; but I would like them to be more meticulous with “Pickup” orders since anyone can come in and take the order.Parking: It is very clean”
“My order was brought to my wrong and they brought me a new one everything was perfect no hassle at all !!!!!! And still allowed me to keep the other stuff great service !!!!”
“If you are craving Peruvian food at night, this is the best place to come. Since it is available and serving you fresh and quality food.Delicious tiger's milk”
“Food was terrible, they always do it when someone order food for pick up, there is no time to check the food because is already packed and well tight, there is no parking area and it's difficult to last inside the restaurant for more than 5 minutes. So when I got home chicken size was very small and to compensate us they added a piece of chicken breast that looks like they took it from another client's leftover. Horrible experience I would never recommend it that restaurant.”
“I always get the Veggie Burrito with shrimp and it's always delicious. Anything with the roasted pork is good as well although I can't remember the actual name of the meat.”
“I love the food! My favorite is the mole the olla, but the delivery sucks. Every time I order the food is late and spilled in the bag. I keep ordering because the food is so good. I just wish the delivery was better.”
“Great food. Decent prices. If your chooses carefully you can have a healthy smoothie or a healthy meal here- but you must make the decision to eat something healthy.”
“Order some pollo a la braza, food was good. Sauces were great, specially the yellow aji, not spicy but super flavorful. Space is small but cozy, parking is a pain but that’s anywhere in Paterson NJ. Glad this one takes credit card payment, there’s a few other that only take cash…so just be aware. Will definitely come back.”
“They really need to do something bout the table space too many ppl sitting Round taking up space just sitting around on there phones so when ppl come in to eat there no where to sit cause they taking up space but overall it's a good place to eat and the staff is professional and fast In and out service ☺”

“On a recommendation of my cousin, I went here recently. I ordered a double meat shawarma with French fries. The shawarma was excellent. The beef quality was superior and there was plenty of meat. The place is very small from inside. There are literally only 2-3 bar stools. It's really meant for take out. I ordered at counter and since a stool was empty, decided to just eat there. I did end up taking a chicken shawarma for later. This place is a small mom n pop family owned business and I felt like some good ole family recipe and love was put into the ingredients. I'll be back soon again.”
