“Absolutely loved our experience at Dodona Cafe! The food was absolutely delicious, the portions were generous, and everything arrived incredibly fast. Best of all, the food was served burning hot, which is surprisingly rare to find these days and made the meal even more enjoyable.

A special thank you to Lab and Ledio for their exceptional service. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome throughout our visit. Their kindness and professionalism really stood out and made the experience even better.

We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Dodona Cafe to anyone looking for delicious food, generous portions, fast service, and outstanding hospitality!“

“Excellent food & service at Rola’s. This was my 1st time there & everything was so good!“

“We visited Cinar Turkish Restaurant craving Turkish cuisine and had a great experience. Koray provided good service. We enjoyed the Turkish coffee and the Turkish soda, along with the hummus and the outstanding grilled halloumi cheese with honey and tomato jam that was superb. The grilled octopus was incredibly tender and perfectly seasoned, while the lamb shish and chicken shish combo was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The only downside was that the portions were a bit small. We ended our dinner with Kazandibi (Custard) for the first time, and it was absolutely divine.

Everything was delicious and well prepared. Highly recommended!“

“I'd give this spot a 4.5 for food and overall. It's a simple Turkish menu done very well. The place is nothing flashy just well executed food and service. We've eaten here multiple times and have not been disappointed. 100% recommended you check it out, I've heard they also have a great lunch special menu, I'll be trying that soon.“

“Went in late and felt so bad about coming so close to their closing time and Cris and Sandra were so kind to cook up Falafel and hook me up with my late dinner. I was having such a bad day and they were so kind and made my night!!! Shout out to them, they deserve a raise. Truly exceptional service and food 10/10 recommend.“

“The shawarma here is leagues better than anything I’ve ever had in the NY area. The service is outstanding; the owner invited us in while we were waiting for our friends to arrive, and gave us free samples of their delicious falafel. As for cleanliness, the place was virtually spotless. In a region where the closest thing we have to shawarma is usually “gyro meat” (slices off of a cone of pre-ground mystery meat with all kinds of fillers), having an authentic shawarma place nearby is wonderful.“

“Great food and good service!“

“I'm so glad I finally decided to come and try this restaurant.
The staff and the owner were the absolute sweetest and kindest, I felt right at home as if they were my uncles and brothers. The owner made me get free rice pudding on the house and I got to try their lentil soup as well, which was very cozy.

The owner let me try the hummus and as someone who is picky about hummus, their's had such a nice zing to it. It was thick and smooth, coated my mouth and gone in seconds.

As for the shawarma, it was amazing. I got the chicken to eat there but got a mixed platter to go. Every single item in the mixed grill was phenomenal. The beef kofta was great too. I loved the char on my chicken shawarma more though. You can't go wrong with any choices here.

The rice needs to have its own paragraph however. The owner asked which rice I would like to try as they have two kinds: Yellow rice or lentil rice. I asked for both and was blown away by both. I could not choose which one was better because both were that amazing.
The salad was great too. Perfect pickles and fresh lettuce.

I will say my only feedback is the food did start tasting a bit too salty as you keep eating. So make sure to have water or a drink to help cut through the build up of saltiness. Or maybe I came on a day where all the food tasted a bit more on the salty side, not sure.

All in all, I'm glad I finally chose to go here. This is a spot that you can never go wrong eating in. It's fantastic and dare I say, the best shawarma and Egyptian food I ever had!“

“Such a great space and the servers are so dialed in.
My wife and I went back for the 3rd or 4th time last night and we had such a lovely time. The drinks came out so quickly and the hostess was very sweet and gave us a very personal compliment.
I did the pasta w filet and my wife had the ny strip. We did crab cocktails and blue point oysters. Martinis, old fashioned’s, gelato and sorbet finished off with espresso martinis. No complaints. The staff handled the busy Saturday evening w no issues. Will return again and its great for groups.“

“We ordered food for a large work party and couldn’t be happier! Everything was perfect! Not only was the food excellent but the customer service and attention to detail was exceptional. Muhammad made sure that everything was exactly the way we wanted. He went above and beyond to communicate with us about preferences and party needs. I must also commend the delivery driver who was very helpful and polite. Everyone was impressed and very satisfied with the meal. We will definitely be ordering from here again. Thank you Muhammad for your time and hard work!“

“PIDDE DELICIOUS PLACE IN NEW JERSEY;
I’ve been living in the U.S. for 16 years, and the thing I’ve missed and loved the most is lahmacun. After trying it at PIDDE, I’ve never had lahmacun anywhere else again. At other places I’ve tried over the years, I always experienced heartburn afterward — but never at PIDDE.

It’s a place you can visit with your family and feel completely at ease. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.🙏“

“Jap konsideraten dhe rekomandimin me te larte per Nana’s Kitchen ne adresen 1809 Hone ave, Bronx NY per varietete e shumllojshme te ushqimeve tradicionale Shqiptare, per te cilat une se bashku me nje grup shokesh prej 15 vetash shijuam fundjaven e shkuar. Gjeta pas 23 vjetesh ku pergatisin ushqimin ne taven e balte, e po ashtu provuam mish qengji te pjekur, pace, qofte te zgares, sallate fshati e buken qe ne shqiptaret e duam shume qe e pergatisnin vete si dhe u embelsuam me bakllavane plot shije. Sherbimi ishte shembullor dhe lokali ishte i dekoruar me shije duke ruajtur traditen Shqiptare. Falenderojme pronarin Landi Kodra per kenaqesine qe na dha per disa ore ne restorantin e tij. Se shpejti TV Alba Life do te sjelle edhe nje kronike me te plote rreth ketij restorani dhe pershtypjet edhe te klienteve te tjere.“
