Tapas Restaurants near Carlstadt, NJ

“Excellent Thanksgiving Dinner! Excellent Serice by Issac. Terrific Food. Highly Recommend“

“Delicious food!! The best place I've been to in the east village in a very long time. I highly recommend it 😋“

“Best Persian food in Brooklyn. Perhaps the best Persian food in all of New York or beyond. Thanks — we will be back!
——————
You know a restaurant is excellent when all you’ve had is their artisanal bread served with homemade butter, homemade yogurt turned into a dip, and homemade mortadella—yes, mortadella— and you’re thinking, “wow, I could eat just this, served with a bottle of wine…. I’d be more than satisfied.” And, also at this point thinking “when am I going to come back?”

Not your typical kebab affair. It’s better. I promise. I was introduced to a world of Persian food I’ve never had at a restaurant before at a level of quality that is reserved for fine dining establishments.

This is an elevated dining experience that is meant to be shared. And yes, there is a vibe too. Attention to detail with every dish that the chef explained to me is painstakingly made from scratch —yogurts, marinades, preparation taking days, with ingredients sourced locally. Warm, knowledgeable staff to boot, too.

The drink menu is legit. Think Persian twists on classic drinks—-but executed well, where other twists often fail. The best espresso martini in Williamsburg. Perhaps the city. My wife said the best she’s ever had.“

“El mejor lugar de Manhattan donde puedes encontrar un ambiente acogedor y moderno, con comida deliciosa y la mejor atención“

“My taste buds were surprised in the best possible way. The restaurant is small with busy lunches, yet delivers on taste and customer care. The kitchen delivers surprising quality. These workers deliver great service because they trust their product. Amazingly tasty!!!“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“Your bill will be higher here but the experience makes it fair. The menu won't break the bank and tastes good. The kitchen maintains high standards. Service quality equals their excellent menu offerings. This spot warrants your immediate attention.“

“I got takeout the other night—braised beef & noods, eastern cukes, congee and the cabbage special. I have no words. Well, I guess I do—happy dance mouth explosions. The cukes even got better as a pickled snack the next day. The staff was kind and fun, and I had the pleasure of meeting the chef, who deserves 5 stars as a human. Anyone who skips this place while in Dumbo should reconsider their life choices.“

“I was so impressed by ARIARI! Every dish was full of fresh, vibrant flavors and beautifully plated. The seafood and grilled items really stood out — everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The staff were super friendly and attentive, and the vibe of the place is modern yet comfortable. Such a great spot for dinner with friends or a nice date night! 🍶🍤✨“

“Nice place food uffff recomendado“

“I went to Plado for the first time last night with a couple of friends who had already been there several times and raved about it. They were not wrong to rave! The food was simply superb. Every dish was an experience to savor. It actually made me stop and slow down so I could enjoy what was happening in my mouth. Everything had various levels of flavor that made the experience worthwhile. I can’t wait to go back and try more. Standouts for me were hard to choose but if I had to, the taro gnocchi, duck confit, and roasted carrots were my favorite. Desserts were out of this world delicious and unique so I encourage everyone to save room. The ambiance is lovely and the chef and his wife are warm and welcoming. I wish them a long and successful stay in Glen Cove!“

“We enjoyed the ambiance, the service and especially the food. But we felt like lost tourists (and, really, we're not!) just trying to get upstairs to the restaurant and, believe it or not, trying to pay the bill. We were not by any means the oldest folks there, but felt like the proverbial boomer dummies. You shouldn't skip the experience, but don't be surprised if it takes a few tries to crack the code on the elevators and the QR symbols hiding the bill.“

“I found none of the problems mentioned by other reviewers. Their cooking approach demonstrates originality and every option has distinctive tastes. Workers exhibit outstanding friendliness and gladly provide recommendations if you seem undecided. This place maintains its standards. So happy with this place. I can't wait to go back and get everything single thing on their menu.“

“Great food. Good service.“

“We came to 87 Ludlow as a group of three and had such a great experience. The food was amazing, and we were lucky to catch their happy hour — the tapas were incredible! The Panang Curry with mussels was our favorite dish. Great vibe, great food, definitely coming back!“

“great happy hour and nice patio setup. owned by the same people as bar belly so you know it’s good. we walked in at 6:30 on a friday with no wait. wine was great and cocktails were good. would return for drinks and snacks before a night out.“

“Endroit magnifique, décoré avec beaucoup de goût ! Les plats sont aussi beaux que bons, une cuisine travaillée et raffinée.. Le personnel accueillant et très professionnel ! Nous recommandons largement ! Allez-y les yeux fermés et les papilles ouvertes! 🌺“

“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!“

“Accueil est cordial, le personnel professionnel , la nourriture est très bonne. Un petit coin de Provence à New York. Ambiance sympa 👍🏻“

“What a wonderful restaurant great mix of foods and service was so friendly. Highly recommend butternut fries to start!“

“Superb experience , great food, prompt service, moderate prices...very enjoyable and well worth the money“

“We had the most amazing experience here. Although arriving without a reservation our amazing waitress accommodated us and provided us such a wonderful time being here. The food was so good. Service was exceptional. We look forward to returning again.“

“The care and creative that’s put into each dish is superb. The pre-fix is an excellent deal. And it’s fam friendly even though the food is avant-garde in style. Nice service.“

“We were incredibly impressed at C as in Charlie. Every single dish we had was very good - 3 of them were exceptional. The mozzarella/green pepper with soy balsamic was insanely good, the ribs were melt in your mouth and the prawn roll delicious too. Service was excellent and the restaurant had a real buzz/warmth to it. Absolutely shouldn’t be missed. Surprisingly reasonably priced too.“

“Excellent service and food“

“Love the delicious food 🥘“

“Enjoyed the many different Tapas we tried out 😋“

“Cozy atmosphere and fine dining“

“Just what it says on the label - literally a bar in the shoe department in the basement of Nordstrom. Drinks are great, service is above and beyond what you’d expect from something that was presumably an afterthought when designing a department store, and you sure can’t beat the people watching as the shoe shoppers clamor around you. The constant PA announcements can be a bit much after a while, particularly when it seems like a pretty straightforward take a number system for shoe assistance yet they have to keep explaining how numbers work, but this isn’t really a place for quiet conversation anyway. But you can’t beat the price and entertainment if you’ve got some time to kill.“

“The pork chop was succulent and had the most amazing spice combination. The barbacoa was the best I have ever had. Not a fan of the mezcal, but I gave it a try. Other more common drinks looked great with a good pour. Good vibe and open late with a super friendly staff!“

“Delicious! Friendly service.“

“The food is delicious and the service remarkably and memorably friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We started with the brussels, which have a sweet vinaigrette dressing and are cooked perfectly. The ribs were meaty, not fatty, with flavorful spicing. The corn and cheese is a surprise --- on the cob, but with chili powder. But the highlight was the kimchi fried rice, a uniquely delicious and satisfying dish topped by a perfectly poached egg. We closed the main courses with seafood kalguksu, a slightly spicy noodle soup with all kinds of seafood. Best seafood broth ever. Period Every other table had the black sesame bread pudding, so we decided to try it. They were right. Don't think about the huge volume of butter involved. All in all, small plates with huge flavors served by a wonderful wait team. Thanks Gurumé.“

“I was happy to give this new ghost kitchen a try. The concept of the restaurant is it's mainly a delivery spot with an option to pick up and take out. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and saw the area where you could go to the screen and order or order ahead and scan, and the locker will pop open or order through one of the delivery places like Uber eats. I ordered a bunch of things, including the chicken platter and the chicken dumplings. Everything was done in about 15 minutes. I dug in when I got home. Everything looked tasty! My favorite dishes were the loaded fries and the chicken dumplings. I really enjoyed this unique experience.“

“An outstanding burger and salad, tucked away on the 5th floor of Nordstrom. primarily a shopping floor with no break between it and the restaurant. Department store ambience. Although service was slow, waitstaff were attentive. The restaurant was completely out of beer on a Friday night at 6 pm.“

“To Dylen James and the Traif Team,
Warm greetings from the couple visiting from Florida! We just wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks to Dylen for the amazing recommendations—we made it a point to visit every place you suggested, and each one was absolutely spot on.
Our experience at Traif was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable, and the food… wow. Truly top-tier. Hats off to the chef and the entire team—you all delivered a 6-star experience (yes, we’re going beyond 5!).
We’ll definitely be back soon, and next time, we just might call ahead to see if Dylen is working 😊
With appreciation,
Your Florida Fans“

“A charming gem in the West Village with that quintessential neighborhood feel. The team here was warm and engaging, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The intimate setup makes it great for a date or catching up with friends, and both the cocktails and wine list were excellent. What stood out most, though, was the creativity in the dishes, each one felt thoughtfully put together and seasonal. Recommend the black sea bass ceviche.“

“Super nice. We have fun! Good food“

“Prices for the food at the deli are ok for NY, wine prices and prices at the store for some of the products are too high. I got one of the Spanish wines the sell 35% cheaper at the liquor store and cheaper spanish beers are sold at whole foods. However, food was good (adapted to American taste,of course) and the variety of beers was also good. They also have some non alcoholic 0.0 beers. We will come back.“

“The help was very friendly. Service was great! The food was all good!“

“My cousin just had her wedding here and all I can say is FANTASTIC! The staff AMAZING! That lavender drink wow. Everything about my moon was great. Really the staff was so wonderful. Loved the tapas choices, highly recommend a a less formal wedding choice so much fun.“
