Mediterranean Restaurants near Saddle Brook

“The food was delicious. The portions are HUGE and the prices were fair for that much food. I didn't love the cheese arias but we got it to go so it may have been better fresh at the restaurant. The kabob halaby was my favorite if you like spicy. Falafel and feta salad both delish. Get the fries too!“

“I go to school around the corner and swing by here for lunch when it’s in my budget. Delicious wraps and very very nice staff. Once they mixed up the orders and gave me the wrong wrap, but they refunded my order when I came back and told them. Highly recommend! I usually buy and then take to eat along the east river.“

“what a wonderful surprise. to start, their chickpea stew was excellent. the perfect stew for a cold night, seasoning was dead on!!! we shared a grilled branzino for two which was perfectly prepared, flown in daily from Greece, light and buttery and the skin was crispy. sat at the bar, service was incredible. delightful conversation with staff. definitely coming back.“

“Incredible & welcoming customer service. Delicious food. Huge portions at affordable prices.The owner Shlomo goes out of his way to ensure everyone is taken care of.We drive over an hour at least twice a month just cause we enjoy our food experience.Highly recommend!“

“Awesome place. I always get lunch here. Everything is good but my favorite is the Chicken pita thing. It's grilled chicken with lettuce, tomato, onion, and honey mustard. It's very very delicious. They have tables but it's very cramped and if youre going to eat there don't expect privacy, they tables are super close together.“

“I’m in love with this beautiful atmosphere inside and the food was delightful. We came for a dinner and it feels very lovely and relaxing vibe. You can enjoy an amazing food and care of staff and the owner.All of them really nice and kind people. Can’t wait to come back to this place. Thanks for our beautiful time,guys!Highly recommend Kilim Restaurant.“

“Always passed by, finally decided to try this place. Ordered online, but when I came in I had to wait for a few minutes, but while I waited the owner gave me food to try and was nice, and the inside has a nice style to it so it's very relaxing to sit. When I got my food, everything was great. The Greek fries has a nice crisp feel, and taste great plain or with the cheese and spices added to them. I had the lamb and beef gyro and the meat has to be one of the best gryo meats I have had: it's soft, juicy and chewy and tastes amazing. Will definitely return.“

“I was so happy to find this place recently and have already been back twice. Every person I’ve interacted with have been so incredibly pleasant, they even draw little sketches on the takeout bags that are really good! The food is amazing and there are a ton of vegetarian options. Portions are great and the flavors are incredible. Definitely will be returning!“

“I LOVED Atlantis! I went yesterday with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day and it was a really great experience. This was not our first option for dinner, but I am so glad that we ended up here. Our server, Elly, was very attentive, polite, and always had a smile on her face despite it being so busy! She handed me a rose for the occasion which was very sweet. My boyfriend is Arabic and said that their babaganoush was the best he's ever had. The Greek salad and mixed platter for two was delicious. I was going to take photos of our food but I got too excited and ate it! But it was delicious and refreshing just how Mediterranean food should be. The food is also very reasonably priced. The ambiance was delightful, the booth seats were comfortable (even had pillows!) and the decor & music was beautiful. They truly took care of us, even with a full house.100/10 recommend this place, such a gem to find. I look forward to coming back very soon! Thank you again!Dietary restrictions: Pays attention to allergies.“

“Ryan's BBQ is without a doubt one of the best restaurants in the area. Their food is consistently high quality, full of flavor, and prepared to perfection. The owners are also very friendly and take great pride in their work.I strongly recommend the kielbasa sandwich: the combination of wasabi sauce (a creamy sauce with a little wasabi kick) and cabbage salad is incredible. And if you'd like something sweet, try the salam de biscuiti: this is a traditional Romanian dessert (that also has roots in Portugal and Italy) made from biscuits, raisins, Turkish delight, and chocolate sure to satisfy anyone's sweet tooth!“

“Has an amazing Turkish breakfast with lots of variety. The breads were fresh from the oven. The service was also wonderful as they were very kind and helped us with whatever we needed. Would 10/10 come againDietary restrictions: Has halal options“

“I’ve been here a few times now because it’s close to where I live - this is hands down the best Mediterranean food around! It’s fresh, delicious, consistently amazing food! The service is also quite amazing and the environment is so welcoming. I love eating here and highly recommend if you like Mediterranean food that you give them a try! :)“

“[Practicing Catholic-Buddhist] Salaam, and thank you to the driver Mehmet and the chefs.Mediterranean food carries the legacy of our shared heritage. Montclair has a new, outstanding halal business. I experienced its Takeout on Grubhub tonight. Among other trivia, there were historically many Arab Sicilians. Muslims are a culture of literature, art, mathematics, philosophers, and scripture. They are perseverant and have a strong sense of economic and social justice.I cannot read Arabic, Turkish, Kurdish, Dag, et Al., but inshallah, I know enough to thank fellow women and men of the Book.I once stayed at a hospital in Paterson and assisted a mother who spoke Tunisian Arabic. Her cries of grief kept our ward up late into long nights. Myself and a Lebanese nurse on duty could not comprehend her. Her dialect was different, and Arabic since the Sufis and scholars who translated Greek philosophy after the collapse of Imperial Rome made, among many other things, Alcohol, Algebra, and All of the Successive Achievements.I am a simple man of science and faith, and your cuisine is outstanding. Alhamdullilah, you will be in business in Montclair for decades. ???☮️☪️??Vegetarian options: Halal with verve.Dietary restrictions: If you want it, I believe a cleric blesses it before consumption. I am not a practicing Muslim, but I can taste gourmet quality.Parking: Yes, it is Montclair, and parking is difficult at times. I believe this location is worth finding.Kid-friendliness: Even South Koreans like me know American Fine Dining. ???????????Wheelchair accessibility: Shook run, af-wen. Inshallah, we will do business in America for the rest of Clifton and Montclair. ☸️“

“The food was so fresh amazing. The humus was one of the best I’ve ever had. I felt like I was in the blad. The service was amazing. One of the best resturant experiences I’ve ever had. I am so happy to have came here.The chicken was so fresh and juicy and I don’t say that easily.“

“So glad we opted for this tiny hidden gem! You couldn’t find more down home , authentic Italian cuisine if you hoped a plane. Save the trip and travel to Carlstadt in NJ. no fuss, no muss, like it’s fresh out of Grandma’s kitchen. What you’d expect of her Sunday sauce topped the Sicilian style “Grandma” pizza, complete with fresh mozzarella, torn fresh basil leaves and a perfect crisp & tasty crust.We couldn’t stop without trying owner Johnny’s award winning “best meatball” which did not disappoint. Wonderfully accompanied by a touch of fresh ricotta, we had to take a couple to go home for mom.Johnny and friends entertained us with some friendly chit chat; it felt like you were stopping at a cousin’s for Sunday dinner. We’ll be back, and likely with a bigger cooler to take advantage of a few extras to travel back upstate with us. We look forward to our next visit!Kelly & Scott“

“My food was so delicious and fresh! I had a falafel on pita, and it was outstanding. The Moroccan hot sauce (made with cilantro so yummy). Also, the lemonade, all of them were amazing (regular, tumeric, and cucumber). I hope this place gets a lot of business, so it sticks around. Finally the staff was so friendly and helpful!“

“Stopped by here for dinner with some friends. We had the tuna tartare, beef carpaccio, lamb chops, brisket burger, and lamb sliders. The sliders were unexpectedly amazing and the lamb chops were really good too. The burger stands out as well, one of the best burgers I’ve had. Perfect spot for a romantic evening or a bite with friends. The margarita and the moscow mule were great drinks as well. 5 stars deserved“

“We had dinner there the portions were bountiful. The food was delicious. The service was very good. Everybody was very friendly. We had the mixed grill and the mixed appetizer. Everything was delicious. The restaurant looks beautiful on the inside. Atmospheres is very nice place to sit and enjoy a meal.Dietary restrictions: Halal food“

“i was walking done restaurant row looking at outside menus, this wonderful woman popped out into the cold and asked ,if i want to know anything about the food. thanks to her i went inside, and was treated as a special guest.I opted for the prefix, that was no mistake, starter 3 wonderful small bowls of heaven, the main a dish of chicken,cabbage,carrots all done to a turn, it was a bit oily, but well done.the waiter/bar tender offered me a taste of chardonnay, it was so good i ordered a glass.the goodness didnt stop there, nope Tiramisu which i must say was good (not like mom makes) but well enjoyed. Dont miss this little GEM!“

“Excellent service with the waitstaff extremely attentive! We didn't once have to ask for anything. Empty glass, refilled. Needed more bread, refilled. We started with the hummus on their freshly baked bread and for our entrees, we had the chicken mix grill and the sultans delight, which all of was amazing! For dessert we had both the regular and cold baklava, which was divine! The night we dined here, there was a guitarist playing music, which added to the relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“The food and service was great. We were treated very well and the food came out fast. A little noisy but that did not impact my review because the food blew it away. Everything was delicious and fresh. I am recommending and definitely going again. They do have wine but by the bottle but that was delicious and worth as well. You will not be disappointed. If I could give more than 5 stars I will. ?“

“Went here based on reviews and am a fan of Mediterranean food. The neighborhood was beautiful. We sat at a cozy table for 3. It's a family style menu and we ordered 2 items from each the; small, medium and Large menu. The Tabooh Bread was fresh, hot and toasted perfectly. Add the spicy feta dip, isreali salad with the bread and just heaven on my taste buds. Loved the octopus and eggplant carpaccio. We got the special for dessert and wow just wow. A real symphony on my taste buds. Well done Bustan . As close to the land of milk and honey, I've gotten. Thank you!“

“THEY BROUGHT ME TO THE RETURNING POINT IN NEWJERSEY. REALLY. I CAN SAY IT. I ENCOUNTERED EVEN WITH BETTER TASTE AND STAFF QUALITY THAN ISTANBUL. PRESENTATION OF THE TASTE OF DÖNER. THE ATTENTION OF THE STAFF WAS AMAZING. AND YOU CAN SEE THE SIGNIFICANT PRODUCTION. SEPARATE. WC. LIKE CLEAN MINE. I CONGRATULATE THE ENTIRE TEAM. MAY CONTINUE SUCCESS.“

“Juicy Platters exceeds expectations with its outstanding management and delectable cuisine. The efficient and friendly staff and Jason who’s the manager is amazing! He goes above and beyond. Thank you!The menu offers a range of flavorful options. From succulent platters to well-balanced salads, every dish is a delightful experience.Juicy Platters is a definitely one of our favorite places in town!!Parking: Easy parking“

“Love this place!! The food is amazing and the customer service is great. My favorite part is that the food is always fresh and a huge plus is that it’s Halal! As far as the vibe goes, it’s a really calm spot and the seating overlooks the water. 10/10 recommend!Parking: Plenty of parking“

“Absolutely amazing experience. We always pass by and see that it’s packed here so we came for my sisters birthday. We were served by Eylul who was absolutely amazing and so sweet. She was so nice and very attentive. The food was amazing. Flavorful and fresh! Definitely come here if you’re looking for good Turkish food!“

“We had a great time dining at Antioch. Immediately when you enter you get a sense of coziness. I loved the interior decorations. The bread is super delicious and pairs well with their appetizer dips. The hummus was by far my favorite! We also enjoyed the falafel, calamari and cheese sticks.For our dinner we had the mixed grill which was the perfect size for two people. If you order appetizers, a third person can also share the platter. My favorite was the chicken and my fiancé loved the kebab. I also enjoyed the white sauce! For dessert we had the warm soufflé/ brownie with icecream which was the perfect chocolatey treat as well as the baklava. You have to also try their Turkish coffee and tea! Great middle eastern restaurant located in downtown Englewood!!“

“I got take out on my way out of the city last night. I ordered lamb pita since they don’t have shawarma on the spit.Ambiance in the resteraunt is really cool (I got take out)Lamb was really great, well cooked and really well spiced. It was a little bit sweet maybe spiced with cinnamon.I also got falafel and Shnitzel. Everything was really good, food was ready when they said it would be. I wish they had shawarma but a good spot for Mediterranean/Israeli food! Will definitely be back!“

“Seating was a tad cramped due to the Saturday night crowd, we should have reserved, and we waited over 45 minutes for our shared mezze platter (order may have been lost -- we should have pestered the young woman walking the floor with the handheld order monitor). NEVERTHELESS: Our wine from the Galilee was delicious, and the enormous platter was well worth the wait. GO! We know we will be back to try the lamb.“

“Wish I had tried this place sooner. The food was amazing, friendly staff, the place is clean. We stopped in for lunch and got the lunch special. The Doner kebab was amazing. Came with a soup I picked the chicken orzo, so good. Definitely coming back.“

“The service was awesome!! We came for an engagement party and brought a cake and the staff brought the cake with candles and cut slices for the whole table! The staff went around many times asking how everyone was doing and if we needed anything. Ali was the best!!“

“Voted and winner of the Best of Bergen 2023, my partner, our friends and I came as first-timers to this establishment located on W. Crescent Ave. in Allendale for dinner yesterday. Reservations were easily booked through Open Table. Once a residential home, Savini has transformed into an upscale solid Italian restaurant well-known for their fresh steak and chicken dishes. Upon arrival, one is greeted by valet staff who parked our vehicles. Upon entering the foyer, we were further greeted by the host and shown to our linen-covered table. A 2-page menu offered classic Northern Italian and American cuisine, with a variety of options available as well as today's special. As an appetizer, we decided on the beef lentil soup, Sicilian rice ball with filet mignon tips, and Caprese salad. For the main meal, we chose Chicken Vino Bianco Sautéed with Artichokes Hearts, Asparagus, and Shitake Mushrooms in a White Wine Sauce, Veal Forestiere Sautéed with Portobello, Shitake, and Champignon Mushrooms in a Sherry Wine Demi-Glace Sauce, Chicken Marsala, Filet Mignon, and Jumbo Shrimps served over spaghetti instead of linguine. Some of us even saved room for dessert and got crème brûlée and chocolate mousse. Complimentary, fresh, warm bread started our meal. All dishes were beautifully served and cooked to perfection. The prices were not cheap, but we got value for our money. The servers were friendly and informative. The host went around to the table, making sure it was to our liking. While we were there, several occasions were being celebrated where we could recommend this place.“

“The stuff are so nice and hard workers. The back is such a nice vibe to relax and have some good hookah. The food is absolutely delicious, amazing quality and the best part is their local!! We no longer have to drive 25 minutes to have authentic Middle Eastern food.Vegetarian options: Hummus, Baba Ganoush, all the salads, soups, Falafel, Burak, and many more selections.Kid-friendliness: Healthy finger food option for kids and family friendly atmosphere so your children are not the only ones there. Many people come with there children.“

“Beautiful restaurant with nicely spaced tables. Great choices for all types of fish, and some non fish items. Most delicious burrata salad. The choices for dinner. Halibut over cauliflower mash, delicious. Tuna cooked to perfection. Special fish swordfish absolutely delicious. Pear tart for dessert. The service was friendly and professional . Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I always order the veggie/lentils bowl and sometimes replace the falafel with grilled chicken. However I have ordered many different food from cheese burger to the various smoothies and juice. Everything I’ve ordered here tastes excellent and the price is ridiculously good for the food. Most importantly, the people in the Montclair restaurant are so nice and welcoming. Love em!“

“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.“

“Absolutely outstanding! I recently visited Pidde Lahmajun and was blown away by both the flavor and service. Tunç and the entire team truly know how to make a customer feel special. Every bite of the Lahmajun was a delightful journey of taste, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The ambiance was welcoming, and the staff, especially Tunç and his friends, were incredibly attentive and friendly. It's rare to find a place that excels in both food quality and customer service, but Pidde Lahmajun does just that. A solid 10/10 experience. Highly recommend!“

“I found this gem when I was in Jury duty in a close by court.Their beef shawarma meal was great and the hummus was really nice. Next day I tried their chicken shawarma which was great as well, subtle crispy wrap and juicy chicken but the surprise was their Falafel. Likely the best I have tried in 10 years, nice size, thin crispy layer and softer and juicy inside.Fairouz songs which are not too loud makes the meal even better :)Will definitely be back if I am around.“

“If you're longing for the serene ambiance and flavors of European Mediterranean cuisine, then Morning Pace is the perfect spot for you! The tranquil and inviting atmosphere, along with the scrumptious freshly prepared dishes and delightful desserts, creates a truly memorable experience. And on weekends, you can enjoy live music and dance performances that add to the charm of this new and amazing place!“

“I am not sure why it has taken my so long to write this review about one of my FAVORITE restaurants in NYC. Every single dish is made with fresh ingredients and the fresh pasta's, foccacia bread and pizza's are ALL absolutely DELICIOUS. We have gone there for lunch, brunch, dinner with just our family, on date nights, with friends, celebrated BIG celebrations there with 20 people and we are always treated like family. You truly feel like you are in Sardinia when you eat there as we know from Daniele, the chef, that so many of his recipes come right from his mom (and his sister Francesa!). We have followed our favorite waitress in NYC, Daniela, there and so grateful for her and her family. And Ruth --- another gracious staff member who greets us with hugs every time we come! I will also say their delivery is one of the best and their dishes always come piping HOT and their portions are quite big. I love the staff there and very grateful to have Arco in our neighborhood! Thank you for always welcoming us with open arms and always feeding us the most delicious food --- OH and the canoli's- have to get the canoli's!!!“

“New restaurant next town over. My husband, my daughter and I tried it last night and we are absolutely impressed. The foot is EXCELLENT the ambiance is perfect for a nice dinner and Rola is absolutely sweet. She really knows how to please a customer. She makes you feel like family.When we were there, Rola had a difficult, nasty customer, but Rola handled the situation admirably well with a lot of professionalism.I highly recommend this place.Angie P.“

“Love this place! Food is great and atmosphere is chill. You can go for just mezzes and dips and be satisfied or a big meal. The brunch specials are great too! I just ate here with my 5 month old baby and the staff was so friendly and accommodating!“

“Big pluses for this Manhattan restaurant—large selection of food, prompt and be courteous service and a big double plus—-they issue separate checks even for our group of six! Three of us had lamb chops which are excellent and moderately priced. For others see photos. Everyone was very pleased with the food. We shared the pistachio and walnut baklava and Turkish coffee for dessert.“

“Place was super busy when we got there, a good sign for sure. Many people coming in to pick up takeout. It was a 30 min wait to be seated, which was absolutely fine by my group. We were attended well, and the appetizers and entrées were banging! Would definitely go again.Parking: Might be a little difficult to find parking depending on the time of day.“

“Came here for a late lunch. The seafood is amazing. I particularly like the sea bass skewer, which was succulent, and the cerviche, which had the right balance of crunch from the vegetables and citrus. For dessert, the orange cake and the olive oil cake from the platter we shared were the standouts.“

“Amazing gyros some of the best in the area always get them both the chicken and lamb, fresh and extremely tasty! Also very honest people working here usually the same guy always a $20 bill fell out of my pocket he found it came outside almost a block down to hand it back to me! Another reason I’ll always go/come here!“

“The food was so delicious and beautifully presented! From appetizers to dessert, every bite was enjoyable. I also loved the cocktails as they were both beautiful and delicious. The service was excellent. Our waitress and all of the wait staff were so attentive and friendly. We really enjoyed our dinner here and hope to return to try the brunch as well!“

“Excellent Israeli food at a reasonable price! Brunch is $19 for a main and comes with a small sampler appetizer (drink not included). Classic Israeli dishes like shakshuka, Tel Aviv breakfast, and hummus. Brunch starts at 11:30 only so not great for an early brunch. But food comes out fast!“

“Its a really friendly and heartwarming place., and the food was really great! I just tried their soup and appetizer and they gave us free dessert and more appetizers. Im from TN and i will definitely tell my friends about this turkish restaurant :)“

“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.“
