Turkish Restaurants near Cresskill, NJ

“Everything 10/10. When you look for a dining experience this is what you end up calling pinnacle*. Chances are there won’t be too many people there, and that’s a good thing. Owner is such a nice guy and wants the best out of your dining experience. Thank you to the kitchen staff and wait staff that made this such an enjoyable and memorable night. Great food, great people, great times.“

“This is a wonderful, delicious restaurant with generous portions. The appetizers are great and the mains are excellent. I love their gyro meat, Shepard salad and assorted appetizer plate. If you enjoy Turkish food you can’t go wrong with this restaurant.“

“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.🙏“

“I celebrated my birthday at this restaurant and could not have asked for a better experience. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, the food was outstanding, and the service was attentive and friendly. It truly made my day special — highly recommend!“

“Afiyet in Cliffside Park is, unfortunately, a complete disaster for anyone trying to pretend good food no longer exists. The authentic Turkish cooking here is so outrageously good that it makes ordinary restaurant meals feel like cafeteria mistakes. Every dish tastes like it was made by someone who actually cares about flavor, tradition, and the radical concept of seasoning food properly. The meats are perfectly cooked, the breads taste like they were sent down from a higher power, and everything has that unmistakable homemade, authentic quality that ruins lesser restaurants forever.

The staff and owner are also wildly inconvenient in the sense that they are too friendly. Instead of the usual cold, robotic service you expect these days, they are warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely happy to have you there. It is almost exhausting being treated that well. You walk in expecting dinner and leave feeling like you were adopted by a very talented Turkish family.

And to make matters worse, parking is easy. No heroic search. No parallel parking Olympics. No circling the block questioning your life choices. You just show up, park, and enjoy one of the best meals around like that is somehow allowed.

Afiyet is the kind of place that completely ruins your standards. Amazing food, authentic cooking, wonderful people, and easy parking. Really inconsiderate of them to set the bar this high for everyone else.“

“When I am in town I frequent this establishment as often as possible. They provide the best mediterranean food on the East Coast. The service is impeccable. The food is out of this world. Thank you so much for being around.“

“Went for lunch. Parking limited, but in front. Quality ingredients prepared with attention to detail. Real waitstaff. Clean, Clean, Clean No rushing you out. Great containers for take home leftovers. Definitely recommend. Chef Ray“

“I like to come by and eat lunch here because the food is delicious, quickly served, and price is giving. Lunch Menu is now $17 for soup or salad, appetizer, main. I had the lentil soup (could use some more flavor its a bit bland), the hummus was very
good (wish they had real warm pita instead of bread ), my Chicken kabob was cooked perfectly (meat was tender and soft).“

“I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The Lahmacun was delicious, with the perfect blend of flavors and a crispy crust. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. It's no surprise that the owner is a well-known chef in Turkey. I highly recommend you all try it!“

“Delicious food and amazing service. Can’t beat the lunch special. Excellent!“

“We’ve been loyal takeout customers for a long time, but dining in at Cinar was a completely different experience—in the best way. The atmosphere is refined and inviting, the service was attentive and professional, and the food was genuinely exceptional. A flawless 5-star experience across the board. We will absolutely be returning to dine in again and again.“

“Such an amazing Turkish breakfast experience. The spread was fresh and delicious, but the kuymak was the real highlight — rich, perfectly stretchy, and tasted just like my grandma made it. The staff were so kind and welcoming, truly peak Turkish hospitality. Definitely recommend!“

“I was truly impressed by the food - every bite felt like a perfect balance of flavor and texture. The presentation was stunning, and the ingredients tasted so fresh. You can tell the chef cooks with passion. I'll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Consistently quality, with outstanding flavor. Honest, authentic dishes, and delicious desserts. BYOB.“

“Absolutely amazing meal! I would highly recommend for authentic Turkish cuisine and a great atmosphere. Sercan was our server. My fiance and I cannot wait to come back again. We had the rack of lamb and filet kabob as our entrees and the zucchini pancakes and babaganoosh as our appetizers. Cannot recommend enough.“
