“My daughter had her prom on staten island. I needed a place for dinner while my husband and I waited. Googled and found Angel's Tavern. We invited a friend to join us. Haven't seen her in 10 years. We were there from 630 to close catching up and the staff never rushed us out. They were so nice and pleasant. We ordered fried calamari and the salad with mango and goat cheese. Both were delicious. I ordered the fish special which was monkfish, clams and mussels over pasta with red sauce. My husband had the bronzini and our friend had the salmon. Everything was delicious and the portions were very generous. The only reason that I didn't give this place 5 stars is because the sauce in my entree was too salty as was the sauce on the salmon. If that was fixed, this place can't be beat.“

Wheelchair accessibility: Both entrances are ground level with plenty of room to maneuver. And there's always the option of eating on the outside tables which are canopy covered.“

“Had an excellent dinner with excellent service, and the food was amazing“

“What a nice and cute place. I'm a Chinese. Love rice and meat. Their food is good! Even thought I don't understand the menu, but I can google it to see what kind of the food. The just one staff in the front but he so nice! Definitely come back again.

Xiaohongshu saw that it was a good Middle Eastern meal. The barbecue is very fragrant, so most of them are regular customers. As soon as I walked in, they were all their regular customers, and they were all men! I was a little surprised to see us two Asians go in?? but the service attitude was okay, the food was served very quickly, and they asked us what we thought it tasted in the middle. recommend!“

“This restaurant is a wonderful gem in the heart of Cranford that can cater to all occasions. We have come here for business lunches, couples lunches and date night. The food is always on point, fresh, and of course delicious. The atmosphere is perfect and it is consistently exactly what we are looking for. Best Lebanese food around for certain!!“

“I was going to take a trip to Brooklyn to eat me some food in a restaurant out there but then I decided to stay here so I wanted to see where can I find some good lamb chops and I punched it on my phone and I went to the place and I'm not sure who's giving the bad comments but whoever it is don't know good food I ordered lamb chops which came with rice and salad and it was amazing I have eaten lamb chops at a more pricey place much much higher in price and you only get two lamb chops and I spent the arm and the leg for it and it wasn't that great but this place the lamb chops was excellent the way the service the weight of the waitress everybody was great I didn't have to wait long to order and it was a lot of people in there but if you expect them to get something in 5 minutes then obviously you need to stay home because no restaurant that cooks food. Should take 5 minutes to cook it it has to be longer so I really really enjoy myself that he only downside to it was that I wish I could have eaten more but I had no room for it because I would have ordered another plate of lamb chops but I'll definitely go back again and the waiter or the service person his name was Val v a l excellent excellent guy they're all friendly the staff is really really good there and you get more than enough food so I highly recommend it and I give it five stars“

These guys are the real deal, Greek owned and operated, great food, and they even have live music some nights

Do something nice for yourself: get dinner at Ambeli. And bring some friends ;)“

“After a tasty round of appetizers including tangy baked Fava beans, creamy smooth hummus, baba ghanoush and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside falafel, we feasted on two lamb dishes, one of which was perfectly grilled, and an order of couscous with vegetables. I still remember today how great everything tasted. Service was friendly and efficient and the decor included lamps and accessories imported from Morocco. Portions were generous and they provide containers for the leftovers. You can only eat so much! Highly recommended.“

“Nice place tasty food ❤️stuff is great ! Great for family gatherings“

“Visited a restaurant for the birthday party in May 2022. Clean, welcomed staff, good service, a lot of parking on the street. We placed an order. It was not too long, which is good because the reservation was for 6:30 pm and everybody was hungry. Appetizers were delicious especially both types of calmers. 3 people ordered NYS trip stakes. OMG! All 3 stakes were stingy. Nobody finished the stake. Medium and well done came up the same. Black color even tongue was black after eating the steak. It's because when cooked the steak did not clean the grail. Also, I recommend checking your receipt. We found 3 items that we did not get on the table for a total of almost $80. One of them we never ordered, and two newer ones were delivered to the table.“

“Food was awesome and fresh ! Service was even better ! Definitely coming back to try more things!“

“This is a great little café/diner right next to the Westfield train station. We are fairly new to Westfield and went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We were wowed by the wonderful customer service of our waitress, Cindy. She was very attentive, provided great order suggestions and also brought over their delicious housemade hot sauce to go along with our eggs. All the food we ordered was wonderful, including the short stack of chocolate chip pancakes, the egg and cheese sandwich on a hard roll, and the Florentine omelette. The chef (maybe owner?), Ash even stopped by later on towards the end of our meal to check on how everything was. We meant to write this review right after that, but then never got around to it and when we went back today a few weeks later, we realized how much we needed to write this up! This time Kirsten and Cindy both helped us out, and Cindy remembered us by our orders from the last time even though we had only been here one time- very impressive and shows a great attention to detail and customer service. Ash came by also, and it was clear he remembered us as well. The food was fresh and tasty yet again (we got the French toast, egg and cheese sandwich, and Greek omelette this time) and the prices are great. This place is a gem and is definitely becoming one of our go-to spots!“

“The people here are so friendly and the food is amazing. Honestly some of the best food on Staten Island in my opinion.

Vegetarian options: Falafel platter is delicious. Also the babaganoush is some of the best I’ve ever had.“

“Best Egyptian food in the area!!“

“Delicious food and service! They do a lot of catering for large events , all the catering is made fresh and very good size portions“

“Service and food are excellent.“

“The food is made with love and you can taste it in every bite!Their Spinach pies, Shwarma, kibbeh balls and pretty much everything they make are out of this world!!I have tried MANY Middle Eastern Establishments, this one -Lebanese Eatery-is by far TOPS in my opinion.Never did I experience bad food or service here.“

“Teddys Place is THEE PLACE! Greek-American restaurant located in Bayonne, NJ just off Broadway and boy do they know Greek cooking! Some of the best I’ve had and believe me this is no place dressed as a Trojan horse- I had to say it-anyway the food is phenomenal, they give you more than you’ll be able to eat in one sitting, the staff is super nice and friendly and the atmosphere is casual as expected. I’ll give them a B+ for prices as it is a little pricey but completely worth the quality of food they serve. At busy times parking can be a little tricky because there’s no parking lot just street parking. The moussaka - best ever! The Athenian fries out of this world as well as their salads and desserts. This is a must go and a must go AGAIN!

Kid-friendliness: Definitely a family place -kids welcone!“

“Humble seems to be the best word to summarize this restaurant. The men who run it seem to have a great rapport with their customers; they’ve been there for 20+ years and it shows. They were kind and accomodating. The food was plated carefully and was pretty taste. My only complaints were putting margarine on my pancakes without asking and the tiny plastic utensils, which left my hands covered in syrup. However both of those go to the restaurant being unpretentious. There’s no atmoshere to speak of but it was clean. I’d eat here again but probably wouldn’t go out of my way.“

“Fabulous dining experience at The Greek on Main! Recommended by our son! Appetizers were amazing! Fig & Goat Cheese Flatbread Haloumi Fries- Feta and roasted red pepper aioli. So good! Tomato salad!
