“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)“

“A simple local Turkish bakery. We along with couple other customers were given delicious cookie sample without asking. It has the hospitality feel reminisced of the good old bakery from childhood. Very reasonable prices. Variety is limited to several types of baklava, cookies and some breads as it’s a small place.“

“I had the opportunity to try Bosnian food or in other words balkan food. Let me tell the food was freaking amazing!!! The owner was so nice and absolutely awesome to talk to. The vibe you get from him is like we are family. First, food choice to come out was the most fluffy burek slices ranging from cheese, spinach and even meat version. I truly enjoyed the meat slice so much I even licked my fingers clean. Second food selection that came out was the chevapi and man when I saw the meat was so juicy and tender it literally brings a smile to my face while making my mouth water. Make sure to rip a piece of the bread grab a piece of the meat and grab some onions you’ll thank me later. The chevapi is so flavorful that will drive your taste paletes into overtime!!! Third food selection the owner personally recommended to us was the two month old veal slow cooked to perfection. Literally you pierce your fork into it the meat just falls apart. First bite the flavor of the veal will take you to nirvana. Try this if you try the veal, take a piece of the bread from the chevapi and dip it into the bone marrow. That delicious flavor from slow cooking is going to kick you senses into overtime! Will I recommend someone to come try this restaurant? Absolutely!!! I cannot wait to go back and try this.“

“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“

“Always great food and a favorite. We've been getting takeout here for years since we moved to the area during the pandemic.The red lentil soup is my favorite and the spanakopita is amazing! We've had most items on the menu, you really can't go wrong. I prefer the Chicken Shih which is grilled and marinated chicken over the Chicken Gyro but they are both good. My husband enjoys the lamb.Because the dinning room isn't open yet and the blinds often closed, I think a lot of folks don't know it's open. It's a hidden gem in Ramsey and right near the train station.“

“Excellent family friendly atmosphere with delicious food, excellent service and great prices! Take the time to get to know the family running the restaurant and make sure to try the Iskender (gyro with yogurt, tomato sauce and croutons). The filet mignon is top notch quality! Turkish tea is a must throughout your meal. If you want an authentic Turkish experience, you must check out Tadim. This was my first visit but not our last!!!“

“Amazing Turkish restaurant. BYOB. They treat you like family here. The hummus and ezme were amazing mezze options. The branzino was was charred perfectly, retaining the perfect flakiness and moistness of the fish fillet. Cap it off with baklava and Turkish coffee. They won’t rush you here. Life slows down at this restaurant so you can enjoy it.Parking: Cheap municipal parking. $.50 per hour“

“Been meaning to try this place for awhile , finally went today and it didn't't disappoint. I placed an order for 60 Lahamacun and it was told it will be ready. Went to pick up and it was ready on time. They pack every 10 in a neat box. Fresh bread was just coming out of the oven and I had to try. The lahamacun is thin and made fresh, the seasoning was perfect. One of the best I tasted in NJ. The bread was fresh, soft and delicious also. Definitely going back to try the pides and pizzas. The staff was super friendly and even helped carry the boxes to my car.“

“Very impressed with the food and exceptional service. The food here made me feel like I was in Turkey. Notable attention to detail, flavor and seasoning. Portion size also surpassed expectations. Highly recommend if you’re in the area looking for genuine Mediterranean cuisine.“

“Visited American Dream Mall and decided to find some good food to eat! Came across this delicious Turkish restaurant. I had the chicken Adana kabob and my family members had salmon lamb chops lanb Adana, which was all wonderful. THE LENTIL SOUP, one of the best I have had!! Great portions, about $20-$30 a person. I am stuffed! Deniz was the gentleman who helped us and was super attentive! He recommended some yummy Turkish sodas and desserts. Great service, would definitely come here again!“

“Just had my husband's 50th dinner there. The owner accommodated seating for 16 people at last minute. The service was on point, the food was outstanding, 10 out of 10!! As we put in the order for 16 people, we did large family portions. The owner actually came out to tell us he thought we were ordering too much food. We went with his recommendations and he was absolutely right! After downsizing the portions, many of us still had plenty to take home. What other restaurant owner would do that? (At the end, the bill averaged out to about 60per person- absolutely worth every penny!) They allowed us to decorate before hand, including using the walls. A group of 16, not one person left unhappy- with this group, THATS REMARKABLE! Just fyi.. typically I'm an absolute pain in the ass when it comes to dining out, a cooks worst nightmare- I'm so picky. But this food was extremely fresh, seasoned and cook to perfection!!! I can't stop talking about this place! I mean just look at that spread.“

“I don't eat out often but when I do lezzet is my husband and I go to spot for some delicious turkish food. Its very clean, affordable and every one is very friendly plus they teach me turkish while im there. I very much recommend you go try the best well done food in paterson.“

“It was sooooo good I can’t believe cliffside has been without an Albanian spot for this long! We needed it and it’s actually amazing 10/10 the fli and qebab are to die for! Definitely come try this authentic restaurant it tastes exactly like real albanian food. I will be back“

“Hello everyone, we made a collective reservation with our friends, even though we were a large group, they prepared a section for us in the garden section and everything was perfect and the waiter who took care of us constantly came and checked our tables and offered many treats. I wanted to thank everyone here again, good luck to you and your efforts. May you have fruitful work.. ?Kid-friendliness: I would definitely recommend it as a place where you can spend comfortable time with your children :)“

“Mr. Hüseyin, the owner of the restaurant, his wife and all the staff are wonderfully friendly, warm-blooded, smiling and helpful people. Anyone who wants to get delicious food in a good environment with quality service should stop by here. Although the prices are a bit high, the service compensates for it.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Cozy, warm, and inviting atmosphere. I came here from Long Island to meet with someone special who I hadn't seen in months, and it was the perfect place for us to catch up and talk and laugh together over a cup of Turkish coffee (with a complimentary Turkish delight in the side). The woman who served us was so sweet and welcoming. If I lived closer I'd come here all the time!“

“The food was good and the service was great. They could have lowered the lights a little earlier but instead opened the shade and made it even brighter. There was a party in their party space next door and you can hear the DJ so it was a bit loud. However, we would go back again because the food was good. We don't want to make a judgement on one night.“

“SO GLAD I FOUND THIS PLACE!! Amazing and fresh! I orders the beef gyro sandwich with the cheese rolls. Listen, that bread is what champions are made of! The cheese rolls were fantastic, amazing compliment to the sandwich! Shoutout to the cooks, the chefs, the whole staff. Extremely delicious, high quality food. The sauces are great, meat seasoned perfectly (no diddy). Highly recommend this spot and I will be ordering the same thing tomorrow because this was too damn amazing“

“Came from Texas by someone’s recommendation. I must say glad I did! We order lahmacun, veggie pide and salad. Everything was so delicious and service was great and quick. Music also so nice and pleasant.They even send us complementary dessert on house. I give two thumbs up with a smile on my face. Definitely great place to recommend??“

“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.“

“Happy Vegans Qofte in Clifton, NJ, offers delicious vegan options with a cozy atmosphere. I tried their Happy Vegan Burger and Babaganoush, both bursting with flavor. The staff was friendly, adding to the welcoming vibe. Overall, a great spot for tasty vegan eats in a relaxed setting!“

“This is my second time eating here. First one was long time ago (I don’t live around) for Ramadan dinner. This time was for lunch. They have good soups and good pide. I had kelle paca (lamb head meat in a broth) and kusbasili pide. Both were delicious. My sons had red lentil soup and pastrami pide, they loved it. Owner and workers are very friendly and always pay attention to the table. This place is far to my home but if I pass by again definitely would stop either for eat-in or takeout.“
