“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bmuse Café is consistently amazing! Fresh, healthy, made-to-order food that never disappoints. The oriental salad with grilled chicken is my favorite, and their sides like potato salad, fresh fruit, and yogurt parfaits are delicious. Perfect spot for a quick, quality lunch — highly recommend!”

“Parsley in Middletown is a go-to for fresh, flavorful Mediterranean food. From crispy falafel and juicy shawarma to vibrant salads and homemade sauces, every bite is satisfying and made with care. The Family Mixed Grill is a highlight—perfect for sharing, it comes piled with tender shish kebab, chicken and lamb kebabs, and perfectly grilled lamb chops. Generous portions and bold seasoning make it a must-try. Don’t skip dessert—the homemade kunafa is warm, gooey, and deliciously crisp. Pair it with their baklava or ma’amoul cookies for a sweet finish. For a more relaxed experience, head to the cozy second-floor dining room—great for enjoying your meal in a quieter setting. Friendly service and consistently great food make Parsley a true gem on Main Street.”

“Everytime I come in the summer I get watermelon strawberry limeade which is very yummy! When they don’t have it, I get the mint cookie. The monkey balls are very yummy and I always get a sample when they have it. Today I got my mom to let me get a 6 pack! I really like it here❤”

“NOT DIET-APPROVED! That being said, if melted cheese and overly indulgent flavor is what you’re looking for, this place has you covered. No bathroom though, so watch out.”

“The staff are excellent, the food is authentic and very high quality, the portions are generous, and everything I have gotten here has been amazing. Highly recommend!”

“It was our First time going there today with My husband and Everything we got was Delicious! I highly recommend going there! It was Wonderful, and I can't wait to go back there again!”

“This place is amazing in all regards, it is our go-to dining out spot of choice. As others have noted, the birria is absolutely incredible. The detail that brings my family in consistently is that it is a standard meat you can order any of their many offerings with. Kudos for that idea ! Note: They are no longer at 50 Rapallo avenue. They moved right around the corner to a more visible location that will get more foot traffic passing by, I hope it works out well for them. I believe the attached map has the new location correctly shown, the posted address has not been updated. As of mid April 2026, they were closed to renovate the new location, I was told their projected re-opening was going to be in early - mid May. Good idea to call first. If the owners or any customers have an update on that, it would be great to post. My daughter and I are suffering from La Casa Mania birria withdrawals and need a fix soon !”

“I came here simply because I Googled Chinese food in Wallingford and looked for the best reviews. Well Diner’s Haven did not disappoint!! The best friend dumplings I have ever had and their Pad Thai was amazing. I’m coming back with my family next time!!”

“Amazing food, fabulous service, the best Sushi around by far! Taste, freshness,presentation and service cannot be beaten!”

“Debs was on my list of places to try for a bit! A new favorite spot. My boyfriend and I enjoyed corn chowder, hash, special blueberry pie stuffed French toast, and a special queso Philly cheesesteak “mess” which was like an omelet with all the Philly ingredients plus jalapeños. Deb joked and said I’d need a nap after the meal. Everything was SO GOOD!!! And I do enjoy a nap. Big fan. So many more things I can’t wait to try!”

“1st visit. Ordered take out & grabbed a coffee during the brief wait. Service was efficient & friendly. Establishment was clean & welcoming. I deeply appreciate that they offer tofu. We ordered the “Vito” swapping chicken out for tofu & the “Cypress Garden” sandwiches… both were delicious. The prices were reasonable for the high quality of the ingredients. One was $10 the other $12 & this price even included choice of side: pasta salad, apple or chips. We chose the lemon basil pasta salad & it was just as delicious as the sandwich’s. Thank you…you’ve won this customer over for sure!”

“Unique atmosphere with fabulous, diverse drinks.”
