“We unfortunately had to go up north for a viewing of a friends family member but stumbled across this gem. Food was excellent , staff extremely friendly and now have a spot to go when in the area. We had the Cali flower goat cheese app which we couldn’t get enough of , for dinner my wife got the skirt steak which was cooked to perfection and such good flavor. I went with the oxtail risotto which was fantastic , the flavor was amazing. The live music was a nice touch and it turned out to be a perfect dinner night. We will be recommending !”

Sultan palace 429 Crooks Ave, Clifton Middle Eastern • $$
429 Crooks Ave, Clifton

“We enjoyed dining in this beautiful restaurant, and the whole experience was complete. We had a great dining experience with the seating service, especially when I had the Kufta Kebab. Each bite felt like it was unleashing a perfectly balanced juicy succulence of the flavors, brought irresistibly forward by the mastery of spice handling from the hands of the chef. But really and honestly, the service did do a great deed toward our lifted evening. Our waitress indeed topped the experience, literally and metaphorically. Each of us was more than comfortable and happy. It truly made a great evening. But the true ambiance setters were the live musical performers. This delightful background and the cozy yet stylish restaurant decoration set an inspiring mood. I highly recommend this gem for its excellent culinary service, vibrant vibes, and immaculate service. Such a place is recommendable to all those who would like to treat themselves to dining out.”

Mighty Quinn's Barbeque 850 NJ-3, Clifton Barbecue • $$
850 NJ-3, Clifton

“The first time here ever, food and service were great! Brisket was juicy, and the BBQ sauces only elevated it. The burnt end baked beans were fantastic with huge chunks of meat. Roasted sweet potatoes were on point. The coleslaw needed a little something, maybe salt? The pickled onions were a bit overpickeled, in my opinion. Good spot, though. Think it came to $60 for 2 of us.Vegetarian options: Several of the sides and all the desserts.Parking: Plenty”
