I had the best hummus bowl here in all of Fairfield county. I loved my food. It was so delicious. Can't wait to go back.

The waitstaff felt rushed and uninterested in helping us navigate the menu. Very slow as well, took so long for our waitress to take orders/smooth transitions.. The food was alright but nothing to write home about. The manager is not that nice either when an issue occurred. Would spend my time somewhere worth my time and something authentic.

We’ve been going to Esh since they opened but unfortunately
have been disappointed the last few times. The flatbread and hummus is always excellent, however the main dish - the beef shawarma - is not up to par with how it was when they first opened. The beef shawarma used to be wagyu beef and was tender, juicy, and melted in your mouth, exactly how it has been at every other place I have had it. The last few times it has been chewy, dry, and bitty pieces of shawarma. It is disappointing because we absolutely love this restaurant and look forward to dining here, but this last year have been severely disappointed every time. I am sorry to say I will not be back until there is a quality change to the meat used for the beef shawarma.

Another outstanding meal at Esh. This time our group of 5 opted just to enjoy the Taboon flatbread and all of the mezze dips, followed by a lot of different starters and the delicious beet salad. We had so many flavorful dishes to share and enjoy, including three shared desserts (don't miss the Date Cake!). We were thrilled to see the Raventos I Blanc sparkling wine on the menu, the perfect glass for our festive evening. Every dish is incredibly flavorful, and unlike anything else in Fairfield County. A truly special restaurant.

We had an excellent experience! The flatbread and tzatziki were absolutely amazing, I could've eaten them all night long. The food overall was fantastic, and the service was just as great. The only downside was that the drinks were a little off, but even that didn't take away from the overall experience. All in all, a great spot and definitely worth a visit!

We went there early in the evening (around 4pm) and it was fairly empty, but you can tell the restaurant is very popular as it got busy as we were leaving around 5:30. Food is fantastic, easily sharable, the service was very knowledgeable and attentive.

If you're unfamiliar with this area the restaurant was tricky to find , however once you walked in it felt as though you were transported into a whole different city , alot bigger than expected. The dips were incredible and my favorite was the ribeye shwarma. Its a pallet for Mediterranean food so if that's not your preference this place isn't for you but if you like new experiences, Esh will definitely take you on mini trip 😋

Most fabulous authentic food under a beautiful decorative roof. Every dish we tried was exceptional. The service was outstanding as well. It's a pricey place no doubt, but you do get what you pay for which genuinely is absolutely delicious.

I had a great time at Esh! The Mediterranean food was fresh and flavorful--the grilled octopus was fresh, light, tender, and perfectly seasoned. But the drinks really stood out. They were creative, refreshing, and balanced--definitely some of the best I've had in a while. The waiter was friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending Esh to friends for both the food and the drinks.

I rarely use this word, especially with restaurant reviews....but ESH was elite! The server was fantastic, working so hard and never dropped a moment. The menu was great, diverse, and everything we ate was amongst the best we've had of that dish. The crispy artichokes were so tender, so good, it was the best we've ever had. The salad was tasty, fresh, and just very very good. The hummus, best we've ever had. No wonder they're so crowded, it's a great bar, restaurant, service, food; it was THAT good. What I would do to make it better: Make the elite bread hot (and less oil'y') Make sure the chicken dish is well advertised as not being pure chicken but a chicken ‘mesh/Esh' dish.
