“Ambeli Greek Taverna is an absolute gem! The food here is exceptional, with every bite bursting with authentic Greek flavors. The service is top-notch, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. And let's talk about the octopus ? – it's truly outstanding, tender, and bursting with flavor, thanks for the recommendation Chris!! A must-visit for any food lover craving a taste of Greece!“
“One of the best Moroccan restaurants in the area. The Chicken Tagine and the Lamb Tagine was excellent and you can enjoy their delicious saffron rice all by itself. The portion sizes are quite hearty and good to share for two people. Get a reservation beforehand if you plan to visit on holidays or the weekend.“
“Walked in, didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised. The interiors felt like a high-end restaurant, and the food kept up with it!The covered outdoor space was comfy and classy, with beautiful green art on the walls. The flavors, taste, and texture were really top-notch Italian food I've had. Highly recommended.“
“A great new spot in Bloomfield! Food is authentic and absolutely delicious! The best Labne I have ever had. The mixed grill was beautifully prepared, generous portion and delectable. Not fancy but a taste sensation! friendly staff and great service. cannot wait to come back!“
“Great tasting food !! This place should be always packed . My younger 16 year old son took me there ( he gets it on his way back from LA Fitness ) and I just loved the spicy hummus, pita chips, great rice pudding which the gentlemen at night recommended , and the chicken bowl with garlic sauce … what a delicious meal. Highly recommended… love to find new great tasting spots !!“
“Changing my review because it technically wasn't fair. The decor was very pretty. The waitress was nice and my husband enjoyed his pasta even though it was not as described on the menu. My eggplant was not done well and my lack of finishing it should have raised concern with the waitress. Overall it was a pleasant atmosphere and the wine list was extensive.“
“Love this place! Their lattes are so creative and delicious (cardamom, cloves, rose hips.. so many infusions/flavors). Donuts are also awesome and the staff are helpful. I passed this place for years and never went inside.. (mistake!) now I go all the time. Have to say, their name/sign don’t let on to how to how creative their menu and drinks are.“
“In the 1970s and 1980s I spent 15 summers from June to August in Greece. This is the most authentic Greek food I've had since I was there. The choices are extensive; the intimate atmosphere is exceptional and best of all the wait staff are friendly, helpful and delightful. The displays of the desserts are mouthwatering. And the Greek coffee is perfect. In this restaurant you are back home in Greece.“
“Another wonderful and enjoyable meal at Limani. We had a late lunch on Easter and were seated right away. Our server came to our table immediately and asked what we needed while looking over both the regular and special holiday menus. Our wine was opened and poured and bread, olive oil and seasoning placed on the table. We were not rushed making our decisions even as a steady crowd filled up the restaurant. We all enjoyed our appetizers, entrees and dessert (we had to share because we were so full) and will definitely be back again soon.“
“food was very delicious and service was exceptional. everything came out in a timely manner, we had Gazi (i might have spelled that wrong sorry!) as our server and he was excellent and very sweet. had a wonderful night and will definitely be coming back!“
“I never leave reviews but I have Ubereats from this restaurant about 10 times. It LEGIT IS 10/10 every single item has never missed perfection. I am mindblown how amazing their items are and I tell all my coworkers about it. Excited to visit this place in person some time“

“5 stars! Celebrated and hosted our daughter’s baptism here and our guests are still talking about it til this day! Food was great, atmosphere was beautiful and Mary was so helpful and friendly and made planning a piece of cake. I hope to dine here soon.“
“Delicious food and very nice service. We had the manti, cigars borek, shepherd salad, and chicken shish. The chicken was really tender.Vegetarian options: Clearly labeled vegetarian and vegan options. I feel safe taking my kid here with his food allergies.“
“Visit this place every week during lunch. The food is amazing, taste delicious and consistent. I think this restaurant is far better choice than other places in the neighbor. Highly recommended!!!Vegetarian options: Recently added traditional Indian food option which is a complement to Chicken Shawarma for me.“
“Great service. Great food. A little on the expensive side but considering the food and service I wouldn't say they are out of line. I might go as far as saying the service was borderline excellent. Don't miss their Sangria. It is one of the better ones out there“
“Great and fast service. There are many selections and options you can choose from. The meat is freshly made which I love. Chef said was so helpful and gave great customer service. The prices are reasonable. Atmosphere and service , food was perfect ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“
“Small place with a 4-5 tables to sit at with counter service. Really good pita and hummus (super smooth and creamy), falafels (great consistency and taste), and chicken shawarma. Everything we ordered was good. Look forward to returning soon.“

“Can’t really answer the Atmosphere question as I always get it to go but seems that folks like it because I always see tables occupied. As far as the food and the staff always great service and quality of food is top notch.The only thing is I wish they were open later on weekends.Give it a try you won’t be disappointedVegetarian options: The vegan selection always very tasty“
“My family and I love this place. It’s the only place we go for breakfast. The food is delicious and fresh. I always order the same dish (Florentine Benedict’s) The service is great. Everyone is very attentive. They have outdoor seating and parking.“
“Great restaurant! My work came for a birthday lunch and the food was so clean and fresh, service was great, staff was super friendly. Halal food was a plus, will definitely visit again! Want to try all the menu items, they have a lunch special from 1130a with many options“
“This restaurant is punching well above its weight. People, don't overthink thiswe got the lamb platter, and a lamb/chicken pizza. generous portion. very affordable pricing. good flavor. best part? the lamb platter is basically a version of nyc halal cart platter. but maybe even better in some ways? pickled cabbage, chick peas, hummus, idk what else. it's a good f-ing platter. Flavor still pretty goodThe pizza? ok not the trattoria style we're used in this area. but also good! $17 for 16", with meat, veggies, and generous but not obscene amount of cheese. c'monon top of all that, they included 2 complimentary sauce cups. one was some sort of black pepper ranch (but not ranch), and the other a fruitier, chutney-ish sort of sauce. they have an interesting flavoroverall, good pricing, and for the pricing, good quality, good flavor, and good portion. more and more, this sort of offering is harder to find in today's economy.food was ready on time. owner was nice. addressed discrepancies with grubhub, made substitutions easy for us and pricing did not changeIf nothing changes we will take out from pita+hummus again and again“

“You get a very good size pita here! About the size of a biiiiig overstuffed burrito. The smoked eggplant in the falafel supreme is soooo good. Crepe was good too, it's one big crepe folded into a square instead of the usual rolls I'm used to. Definitely a share worthy size. Quick and friendly service too :)“
“Walked in here looking for deli meat and was disappointed to find out they do not provide it, so I just got a sub instead. I was blown away - for the price, the quality and portion is simply incredible. Will be stopping by for lunch more often!“
“Amazing, does not do their shawarma justice. Very authentic , from the flavors to how packed and generous the portions are. Only complaint is you don’t have the pick of toppings such as pickled veggies for Ex.This is a welcoming establishment offering great eats for all cultures. There are no politics inside which I love , but they show the faces of innocent children, women and men who have suffered from savage acts.. this is a duty they don’t have to do but they choose to do it knowing the harassment they can face. It’s important for everyone of us Americans to understand what is happening and not let their pain and abuse go silentCan’t this recommend this place enough 10/10“
“This is definitely a go to if you want a meal late at night after hours or if you want something filling at a low cost. These people are extremely good cooks and their convenience is superb.Parking: It’s a gas station/mechanic/food spot so you got gas, food, and a tune up and your ready to go!Wheelchair accessibility: They have a window in which you can either pickup by riding to with your car or your wheelchairDietary restrictions: They offer halal food for any Muslims there as well as vegetarian options“
“been coming here for years now, food is always good & consistent. but today this female employee prompted me to scan a google card without saying why, just kept tapping it against my phone which i had put for the app. as soon as the review page came up she began to tap 5 stars for everything, without asking me or explaining anything. very suspicious & just completing this review so people know the ratings may be tampered with & completed by the employee rather than customers.“
“Great dinner! My friends and I enjoyed 5-6 different appetizers, both hot and cold. There are a ton of menu options to choose from. We enjoyed the parsley salad, Laila’s combo which included four different dips (baba ganoush, hummus, muhamara and a yogurt based dip), octopus entree, cauliflower with tahini sauce, and the mini hot pies. All very delicious!! They also had a belly dancer perform through the dinning room. Fun atmosphere. Staff very kind and friendly.“
“This place caught my friends today we stopped in and we were so excited and the place did not disappoint everybody was friendly the atmosphere the food was fabulous I love Greek food this is the best Greek food I've had in a long long time my friend and I were plotting when we could go back next it's worth a trip it's worth taking the drive if you don't live close best Gyros!!!!“
“The service provided by the waiter was outstanding. He was attentive, friendly, and ensured that every aspect of our dining experience was enjoyable.As for the food, it was absolutely delicious. I had the pleasure of trying the Greek salad, grilled octopus, and grilled shrimp, and each dish was prepared to perfection. The flavor was authentic and left a lasting impression on my taste buds.I definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and family .“
“From one more small business owner to another, this is how you do it! I ran in at closing time. They had no slices left. I've been working all day and was starving. Instead of sending me away, Brent and his team asked me if I wanted a slice of the pizza they were taking home. Brent pulled out a slice for me, heated it up, gave me a bottle of water and wouldn't even charge me for it. This is what i'm talking about. They just don't make places like this anymore.Big shout out to Brent and his team. Thank you so much. I was so hungry. It really hit the spot. Please support small businesses like this, that go the extra mile!“
“Hiba Hala was the only Hala place open on Thanksgiving, for the ones who didn't celebrate the holiday, they offer great food and service. I didn't get to take a picture, I had egg whites and turkey bacon cause they don't serve sausage for some reason, but ok and French toast. I ate it all before my flight to Jamaica. For a tea and breakfast ran me about $18 that blew my mind, but I did enjoy my food and was just happy they were open.“
“As a Persian who has lived in Iran for over 30 years, I must say that this restaurant can easily compete with the finest dining establishments in Iran. The quality of their food, especially their kebabs, is truly remarkable. If you have an affinity for meat, I highly recommend trying their barg kebab.“
“Great atmosphere. Rapidly seated. Got the falafel, hummus and salsa (comes with pita but I declined). Got a plate of pickles, on the house, which were flavorful. The falafel plate was filling and flavorful. It came with five balls and it was sufficient. The hummus tasted so fresh. I had no complaints. Street parking fyi. They accept card.“
“Adega Grill is our go-to for special occasions: graduation, birthday, anniversary, etc! The seafood platter is a treat for me and my family of 4! There's enough food for all of us! Tomahawk is a must try, especially to steak lovers out there! Don't forget to order a glass or pitcher of sangria!“
“I came to this restaurant with my wife to commemorate our anniversary. We visited this restaurant for the second time, and both times we were quite pleased with the food and service. The food was excellent and generously portioned, and the staff was very nice and helpful regarding their dishes. I strongly recommend this place for dining.“
“It was easy to find, easy to park, the restaurant was lovely, and the food was fantastic! I had the pistachio salmon, on a bed of risotto, with spinach. I have salmon all the time, because I don't eat meat, but this was possibly the most delicious meal I've ever had!“
“I loved the food. It's very different. It was my first time experiencing Greek culinary. The cheese appetizer was soooo strong but good, the beet salad was great ( except for the goat cheese), the crab cakes i didn't like at all. the main dish was delicious. The desert was the best for me..they are not expensive and its BYOB.“
“The food is solid. Had a falafel sandwich and hummus. They both were very good. My daughter and son had chicken and beef shawarma sandwiches and enjoyed them. The server was very sweet and kind and took good care of us. We are used to the location in Metuchen which is nicer inside. The seating was rather pedestrian. I think they were having problems with their exhaust, as there was an unpleasant smoke from the grill wafting in the air. Next time, takeout.Vegetarian options: Falafels, salad, hummus and other apps“
“The beef pepperoni pizza was a standout dish for me. The crispy yet fluffy crust was topped with a generous amount of beef pepperoni, which had a perfect balance of spice and flavor. The cheese was melted to perfection, and the tomato sauce had a tangy and rich taste. I appreciate that the restaurant used halal beef for the pepperoni, which added to the authenticity of the dish.The fresh made to order garlic knots were a delightful addition to the meal. They were soft, buttery, and had just the right amount of garlic and herbs. Each bite was bursting with flavor.Overall, my experience at the pizzeria was fantastic. I will definitely be returning to try more of their menu! ◡̈-Aseel“
“I went with a diverse party of 10 and we were treated like we were at home. Excellent halal soul food, felt like down home southern cooking. I don't think there's a place representing soul food culture like this in Philadelphia or New York City. Staff and owner were extremely warm and accommodating. Generous and tasty portions. Highly recommend.“
“There was an uncontrollable sudden delivery issue for my lunch today. The owner himself came and delivered in an absolutely awesome display of customer service. I would have understood had I known his circumstance entirely . The food was delicious, the desserts just awesome . I just can't say enough how much I appreciated all the effort for my little lunch. Please give them a try I will be telling everyone I know to go here.“
“Great small, quant place in town for Mediterranean food. We came for an earlier dinner at 5:30 on a Saturday and we were the only table. There were a number of people coming in to pick up takeout and delivery orders though. We started with the lentil soup and then I had the Chicken Kabob entree and my wife had the Mahi Mahi entry. We both really enjoyed our meals. The portion size was perfect and everything had great flavor. The staff was really friendly. We will definitely be back.“
“Amazing Israeli casual restaurant. 1) I got the Sabich, Chutzpah Fries, Hummus & Tahina topped w/ Falafel. 2) The Sabich is a Middle Eastern Jewish sandwich with origins with Iraqi Jews. It is very popular these days in Israel and its capital Jerusalem. 3) The ambiance inside is amazing. 4) They offer free lemon infused water. 5) I really liked the Israeli grape juice.“
“A neighborhood Italian food spot in a typical strip mall. The outstanding yet small menu leaves nothing out. Tender calamari tossed in balsamic with sweet fennel sausage - Yum! The "Angry Chicken Parm" was super tasty with some medium heat. The Barolo short-rib over risotto was also great. Finish with a cannoli and cheesecake. 10/10“
“It's been a while since I've had C&R. But this place brought back memories of standing in line on 53rd & 6th. Most importantly, the flavor was reminiscent of NYC carts. I was worried that it would become dry in the time it took the delivery to get to us but that wasn't the case. Even when I ate leftovers 3 days later, it was pretty good. Needless to say, next time I have a chicken & rice craving, I know where I'll be ordering from.“
“Ordered a chicken platter late at night from Uber eats which can always be hit or miss…food was hot and super fresh, chicken was seasoned and my special requests were done perfectly. Next time I’ll pay for a little extra white sauce but not a big deal. Will definitely order again.“
“Wonderful establishment with delicious rich tasting and hunger satisfying grub which are served in large portions that I couldn't complain. As a doordash driver every time I pick up from here the orders are always ready and the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Entering the establishment feels like home. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would be more than happy to.“
“Third time here and as always excellent. The food is healthy choices; a Mostly Mediterranean cuisine but delicious and outstanding and ample portions. My spicy Spanish salmon was so tasty, I could not stop eating it. My wife had the Shrimp Kabob and she enjoyed it immensely. They give you nice sides with the entrees and complimentary house made humus when seated. Service also is wonderful. Cannot say enough superlatives about Moe's.“
“Jerusalem catered my son's Bris in Highland Park. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. David was a pleasure to work with and had great suggestions, and the worker who came to set up did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend them and would use them again in a heartbeat!“
“We’ve taken food out a few times from here but sat for dinner with a group of friends for the first time tonight. The food is always on point! There’s a great menu full of many options. We always come for their shish kebob. Our friends never been here before really enjoyed all the dishes and appetizers as well.The owner Raffy is a doll. He introduced himself to our group, and was very friendly and made great conversation. Highly recommend Old City Café!“
