“This place is a gem. I stopped in with my family when we were traveling through NJ, and I honestly wish this was closer to where I actually live. The menu seems to have EVERYTHING, and usually places with a large menu aren't able to deliver on quality, but the 4 of us ordered a good amount of food, and everything was great. It can also be a bit tricky for us to agree on a restaurant--I'm vegan, and we have someone on a low-carb diet and a pescatarian--but here we found plenty of options for all of us. It's also a BYOB, which I always like. The Lime Sumac salad dressing and the za'atar for the manakish were delicious. Everything with eggplant was excellent. I had the Koshari Famous vegan dish (lentils and chickpeas in tomato sauce are some of my favorite things) and we also ordered the beef moussaka, seafood medley and sea bass, plus a number of hot appetizers, and there was not a single disappointing dish. Dessert and the specially spiced coffee are also very much worth trying, and the owner is really nice. I will definitely look for an opportunity to return when I'm next in the area.“

“This is the best Mediterranean food in the area. It is authentic and fresh. I have had lunch there, takeout and catering, and it was very good! They take pride in preparation and freshness of their food.Vegetarian options: Falafel, Hummus, Babaganoush, salads, spinach pies, spanakopita, lentil soup, etc.,Dietary restrictions: They have great options for vegetarians and non vegetarians“

“Place is great. The only reason not giving 5 stars is the truffle fries where great but did not taste much like truffle, very good season fries would get again. Same for Pita we had the chicken and flaffel. Excellent only wish they had some proper harrishha sauce. Tadziki and Tahini where excellent. Definitely recommend and will go again“

“i'm sadly no longer a local. I had the falafel . it was real good. Just right for a light dinner. The sauce, tzaziki ? really sealed the deal. The village fries are perfect side for one hungry person or to share if you are getting several items. Service was fast and friendly. I will miss NJ and Greek EatsParking: it appeared there are plenty of spots close to door“

“This is a nice place with a large selection of Mediterranean food served as a bowl, pita, or wrap. I tried the lemon chicken in a bowl of beans and topped with several of the selections available of hummus, veggies, cheeses, and sauce. The food was good the service nice the price to high for a week day lunch. I will go back if I am in the area.“

“This was one of the best Lebanese restaurants that I have EVER been to!! The food was so delicious!! Mehar was such a nice man. He told us that he makes kefta naya which I am excited to try next time I am there. Great food and a GREAT atmosphere!! If anyone wants to try Lebanese food then this is the place for you. My wife is not middle eastern but she enjoyed everything as well. Such a GREAT meal. I can’t wait to bring my parents to this place. Well done.“

“We just visited Primavera for the third time today!! The ambiance is calm and relaxing and really beautiful!! Staff is friendly and helpful!! All the food is out of this world!! The Chef's Pasta is amazing and so unique!!! highly highly recommend.“

“Was passing through for work and swung by to grab a bite before heading home. Unassuming from the outside, but a nicely decorated inside. I sat at the bar and got solid, albeit a touch slow, service. Had to wait a while to order after I wasn't ready right away, and again for the check, but the bar tender was solo so definitely will extend some grab. I got the sweet potato and volcano rolls and they were both really good. Fresh, flavorful. Thought the price was good too for the quality. Overall a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to stop by again!“

“The Greek spot Ocean Township just did a massive order for the Wm. and Mary lacrosse team and they were both timely and excellent in terms of the way they handled the order. I would highly recommend this place for large orders for teams and groups.“

“Everything was delicious! If you order the paella, make sure you order it with your tapas because it take a while to make. The only issue I had was the noise level. It was very hard to hear my partner. There's nothing to soak up the noise in the restaurant.“

“We arrived on time for our reservation but the couple who were joining us were delayed. Our server was entirely gracious about this unexpected delay. Once they arrived, service was pleasant and attentive, and the food was really wonderful. We will definitely be back!“

“I come to Long Branch on occasion and I have to say this is the best Greek food on the eastern seaboard! Theo, Jerry and the staff are super and they are completely engaged with their customers! Their happy hour menu is the best in Monmouth area, the mussels are off the charts and the lamb chops are to die for! Fantastic place, don’t miss it when you are in town, you will not be disappointed, it will be one of your favorites, I assure you!DASS, Falmouth, MA.“

“The ambience and decor of the restaurant was very nice. Online it claims to be a Mediterranean style restaurant however there were very few mediterranean options on the menu. The octopus appetizer was phenomenal and a very generous portion and the desserts were wonderful, however both mine and my partners entrees while well cooked lacked seasoning and flavor. The service was excellent, overall a great experience just not what I was expecting from a restaurant claiming to be Mediterranean.“
