The food was delicious, plentiful, and an excellent value. The service was excellent, very pleasant. Can't wait to go back.

We played a risky game and didn't have a reservation on Mother's Day. We got very lucky and were seated at the bar (our favorite anyhow).The bar tender was hilarious and so friendly. She made our lunch that much better.Now the food! We shared three appetizers and had more than enough. The hummus alone was phenomenal. We had it topped with lamb, even better. The baked stuffed jalapeño were good. And my husband loooved the Philly egg rolls.We can't wait to go back for dinner sometime.

What a wonderful establishment. Our party of six had Mother's Day reservations and it was our first time there. Everything was absolutely delicious. We will most definitely be back soon. I can't say enough how great our experience was!

We first visited Jocelyn's 10 years ago and just recently saw some current reviews that made us give the restaurant another try. Service from Alyssa was outstanding and memorable as she was great. Portions are still large and can be shared. The temperature of the food could have been warmer and wasn't outstanding but good. We'll be back sooner than another 10 years.

I always enjoy this place. it feels very Mediterranean, and the food is always excellent. Their drinks are definitely on the better end but if you leave it too close to the end of the table, they will take it even when you aren't done... I feel like the service is always very customer friendly and kind but relatively slow and then rushed out.

Food was extremely flavorless! Do not recommend for Mediterranean food. We literally got a meat panini when we ordered a kibbeh. The shawarma was beef bits, not shawarma. Not authentic. The dolma / grape leaves were flavorless. The pita was grocery store pita and served with butter (seriously, who serves pita with BUTTER??). The prices do not match the quality of the food. Will not be returning.

Busy early Saturday. Good selection. Prices decent but became much better when quantity of delicious food arrived & we realized that both of us were going to get 2 full meals out of our dinners. Excellent, attentive service, very good food and very good value. Hadn't been back here in a while. So glad we made it back.

As always food was Fresh and Fabulous....brought a friend who'd never been there. She was gluten intolerant and was able to find quite a few options to enjoy . Both front desk staff and waiters and our waitress Kristen were welcoming, accommodating and provided excellent service!

This was a fantastic find. We were all happy w/ the food we ordered - we had 2 vegans & 2 normal eaters. It's easy to get to just of 93 on the main road in Salam. It's always a delight when the food is wonderful & matched w good service. The only negative was the volume ... but they were happy noises so won't complain too much! We skipped dessert so that's the only thing we can't judge. The apps- tabouli, hummus, baba ganoush (just a bit too smoky for some), veggie grape leaf wraps were all delish. Entrees- surf & turf kabobs, falafels, mixed grill & not sure what the other vegan had - some bean veggie plate, which was plentiful but he wanted more flavor to it but it was good enough to enjoy & package the extra to doctor it more his liking. Needless to say, everyone was fat & happy when we were done. And, we all had plenty of leftovers! We highly recommend. We plan on going again.
It was important to have a good meal yesterday, since it was Eastern Orthodox Easter for our family. We took a chance, since our favorite Middle Eastern Restaurant opened too late for us to go there this year. We were so pleased with everything we ordered. It won't be a problem to drive to Salem, N.H. to enjoy dining at Jocelyn in the future.

Hand cut fries aren’t as crispy as expected. But overall, the dining experience is great!

My wife & I met my cousin, whom we haven't seen for a few months for lunch. The food as always was great. The babba ghanoush & tabouli apps were excellent. We all had wraps & they hit the spot. Lots of food!!! We all took home doggy bags. Also, our waitress was very attentive & since we were doing a "long time/no see" lunch she didn't rush us as we lingered talking for quite a while.

I would give this place a solid 4.5 stars. The atmosphere was great, it's a beautiful place. The service was also great. For food, we got the spicy eggplant which was really spicy. My husband got chicken shwarma and he said it was just OK, but he likes his food really flavorful and spicy. I got falafel on salad and it was really good. Would definitely go back!

Wanted to try this Mediterranean restaurant and few things caught our attention. The food was generally ok but they missed few things. For instance the veggies present in the grill were boiled/cooked vs being grilled with the meat. That changed the taste . The grilled dish is usually wrapped in bread to absorb the juices but the bread was also accent on the grilled dish. The tabouli was 90% to hit the right taste, our was missing olive oil and a little dry. The veggies were cut perfectly and presented in an inviting fashion, just needed to focused on the taste a bit more. The maqaneq were delicious and with the right spiciness so that is a dish that is with trying again. Service was a bit slow and we had to ask for garlic sauce for the grill since it was not offered with it. The layout is open but the restaurant's identity felt confused, as to where it needs to fall on the Mediterranean gauge. I did enjoy the experience nevertheless and wish that those dishes get the attention so they are always perfect.
