“4.5 ⭐️ I came here with my husband on a Saturday night and we loved it! We didn’t know what to expect. Also we pulled into a strip mall and were a little weary to say the least. Ended up being fantastic! We ordered the cold mixed platter, phyllos (beef). They give you a ton of pita lasting into the meal. I had the combo of falafel, chicken shish, rice. And he had lamb, beef shish saitain style(? Maybe misspelled). Everything was so delicious. No ‘funky’ pieces of any meat, very good portions. I liked the falafel but wish I doubled in chicken. Dessert - u would highly recommend the lava cake.The service is so friendly. Our waitress Toni was patient to explain the menu to us. And any person who helped or dropped off food was very nice.We will absolutely be back here. Also note it is BYOB. Nice atmosphere, clean and style was more upscale than I expected.“
“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.“

“First time at Frappe Joe and it was soooo good the coffee was amazing. I got a turkey bacon egg and cheese bagel and omg just so good!! And their Raspberry Crumbcake. And I believe the owner who helped me bc I looked so lost was soo nice to me and figured out my coffee order and everything. Super nice staff and good food, coffee and pastry!“
“Food was absolutely amazing. The wrap was delicious and toasted perfectly. The fries are the right amount of crispy and salty, some of the best I’ve ever had. If you’re shopping at Costco, make sure to stop here afterwards you will not regret it!Dietary restrictions: Halal, and lots of options. Waitresses are very accommodating.“
“I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant. The food is amazing! Atmosphere is beautiful and the service is great. The mousakka, pastitchio, chicken kabobs were incredible. The bougatsa we had for dessert was out of this world! I really don’t think I’ve ever had a better meal than I did last night! Delicious and the owner is just delightful as well. I will definitely be back soon!“
“WOW ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!!! This place use to be a mediocre Mediterranean cuisine. They are now probably the best Mediterranean steakhouse in New Jersey. Table dining and experience is insane. They have probably one of the best specialty cocktails I have ever had. I would say they need a reward for all the amazing cocktails that this gentleman Tony Hage from the mountain of Lebanon has created. Their lamb chops are insane. Their tri-state sushi hand roll. Michelin star tuna bites are unreal. When I tell you, they mix berry rice pudding is to die for oh my God I highly suggest if you're from New Jersey to go to this restaurant. It is quite pricey, but I highly suggest to go there if you are poor and don't have money, don't waste your time go to Applebee's instead. This place needs three Michelin stars. Last time I was there I had the honors to meet PT da monster biggest A-list in New Brunswick. Don't forget the view is amazing.“
“Wonderful experience dining here. Delicious chicken combo for 2 - chicken chops especially good!, varied dips with pita, large servings. It was all great. Service and atmosphere were super too. Will definitely be back, highly recommend.“
“This was the best Turkish restaurant I have ever been to. They had wonderful service, who work really hard and are the best waiters! The general atmosphere was also really nice, everyone was happy and enjoying the experience. The food was also the best I have ever had. Other restaurants in the area cannot beat this. I will be coming back, this was a memorable experience!“
“I have hired them to cater for my daughter’ grad party. The food is amazing. The owner is very responsive, prompt and on time. The food was so good. Everyone loved it. It was a huge success! I highly recommend this restaurant and their service“
“I love this little place! We travel about 30 minutes to eat here about three times a year and it's always been spectacular. He usually we end up with the gyro platter cuz that's just what we know and like. But this time we tried the meat platter for two for some variety and it was outstanding! Couldn't believe how much meat there was probably could have fed three or even four people! We brought enough leftovers home for another two dinners! Everything was outstanding and it was really a great variety of all the different meats they have. Would highly recommend this place however make sure you make reservations. They are very small inside and are typically always busy unless you come way before the peak dinner hours.“
“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.“
“Ellinikon is such a cute and cozy coffee shop/market. There are plenty of tables and spaces inside, but it does get crowded with various groups of people visiting and hanging out. That's not a drawback and lends itself to the lively atmosphere and a sense of community at Ellinikon.The food is great! I love the Democratus sandwich: the brioche bun melts in your mouth. I also really enjoy the Freddo coffee and the mango danishes. The staff is nice and friendly.The drawbacks: The Wi-Fi isn't secure and can be a bit tricky to connect to at times. However, once you're online, it's generally pretty reliable. In the seating area, there are only four outlets available (one set by the door and another by the benches), so make sure to plan ahead if you'll need to charge your devices. One other thing to consider is that sitting near the open kitchen sometimes makes my eyes water, possibly due to onions being cut during food preparation.Regardless, Ellinikon is one of my favorite places in Highland Park to meet up with friends or just spend time by myself. I just plan accordingly, and the drawbacks don't prevent me from enjoying my time at Ellinikon.“
“It's a really great place to try if anyone likes Mediterranean food, and especially I recommend trying the falafel bowl or wrap because they make it fresh in front of you, and their quality and quantity are also awesome for the price they charge. Their customer service is really great. Overall, it's a must-visit place.“
“Every dinner here is above average- is that even possible? The (kosher) meat menu's large but everything is built on a theme. The knowledgeable waitstaff always guides us toward the best combinations. Last night we tried the stuffed eggplant appetizer- it was rich, salty, sweet, and sour. Probably not for everyone but it's now a favorite of ours. We also tried the pistachio lamb kebab, which was really unique and delicious. It came wrapped in a flatbread and covered in a tangy tomato sauce and ground pistachios. Super unique and tasty. Dessert was baklava made with kataifi and ground walnuts. My pancreas cried out for help while my taste buds told it to sit down. Totally worth the calories. Portions are huge- come hungry and prepared to take home leftovers.“
“Masala Bay is a fast casual dining offering a blend of Indian and Middle Eastern-inspired bowls and burritos (wrapped in naan bread). Its unique naan variations paired with spicy spreads create an intriguing experience.Vegetarian options: Has a whole bunch of Naan Options, Falafel and Samosa chaat“
“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 :)“
“"I visited this place today and the food was fantastic. the chef prepared everything with care and the service was excellent. The food was freshly made and had a lovely touch of charm to it. I am thoroughly impressed with this place and I will be back. I highly recommend it to everyone."?“
“This place is incredible. Every single dish that we ordered popped with flavor (chicken kabab with rice and salad, a traditional gyro, and Mediterranean platter w/baba ganoush, dolmas, grilled vegetables, falafel and pita). Everything had a lightness to it, freshly made and expertly prepared. This was nowhere more evident than with the baklava with its light crispy pastry, delicious honey and pistachio paste. The decor is warm and comfortable with exuberant music. We loved it and are definitely coming back. Btw, I felt that the portions were generous, but if you are value minded, you owe it to yourself to try the daily specials. We had the gyro on a Tuesday for $6.99 !“
“I have been going to Grill Point about once a month for the past 2+ years, and I don't remember being disappointed a single time. I always get a lunch special, which is reasonably priced for the quantity and (especially) quality of food you get. The owners are really kind and involved in daily operations. The lunch appetizers are amazing, with options including homemade hummus, labne, and the best lentil soup I have ever had. The kebabs are tender and juicy, spiced to perfection. And the thin, Lebanese-style pita bread, which always comes fresh and warm, is to die for, hitting a sweet spot between soft and crispy. I have also tried their baklava before, and I have to give that a thumbs-up, as well!Overall, Grill Point is a hidden gem, truly a treasure of Route 9. Turn in at the U-Haul, and prepare to enjoy a truly wonderful Mediterranean meal.“
“Friendly and attentive staff. Excellent food!!! The complimentary bread is fantastic! You really can't go wrong with anything you order here. Highly recommend the grilled branzino, Istanbul mixed grill, pomegranate salad, and the pides. The grilled platters are excellent as well -- chicken shish, lamb adana, etc. Love the baklava as well. Try it! You won't regret it.“
“I was driving by and stopped to have dinner at this place. Not a fancy place but my meal was excellent.. I had stuffed eggplant and was totally satisfied. Service was fine, young lady didn't speak much English but that made the place so much more authentic. All the people eating here was Middle East and that how you now the food will be good“
“As MiddleEasterner, I definitely suggest this high quality Turkish restaurant for Kebab lovers. The food was so delicious as you feel you are in Istanbul and the hospitality proves it.Don’t forget to order Ayran (yougurt drink) as drink and Keshkul as dessert.I will come back again !“
“If you want good,authentic Greek without needing to go to a "high end" restaurant with "high end" pricing you found it! Jimmy's has always been consistently excellent with the food they have served me and my family. The service is fast and attentive and they do a good job making you feel welcome. The restaurant is nestled in a strip mall and when inside it is nicely decorated and comfortable. The Gyro platters and Mixed Grill platter are extremely good and the portion sizes are nice as well. The Lemon Potatoes are cooked perfectly and are addicting. My favorite side dish and if they come with the meals even better. The spinach rice is also highly recommended if you choose that as your side or have it with your meal. Always go back to this place as I haven't found a Greek restaurant close to them in the area.“
“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.“
“Excellent place to go to . We had a lunch there today and all the food was delicious!It’s a family owned restaurant , very clean place and the food has all the savory off an authentic Lebanese restaurant !I highly recommend this place and if i could rated it i would give him 20 over 10Good luck guys“
“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.“
“Perhaps i ordered the wrong main entree. The appetizers were good we got wings and the pretzels 6/10. i got chicken and waffle for my main and i have to say it was the blandest chicken ive ever had. No flavor in the chicken or the coat. Bland waffle. Most of the seasonings were on the egg and they didnt even ask me how i want that cooked because i definitely wouldve said sunnyside up…. They gave me over hard 1/10. Being unhappy with my choice i tried some of my friends’ pizzas and they were decent if you like soft crust (no crunch)7/10 in my opinion. Pistachio ricotta cake was dessert and it was good 9/10.“
“Great authentic Greek food bringing the flavors of Greece to New Jersey! Staff are friendly and the food amazing! They also have a terrace outside so you can enjoy when weather permits. As a bonus, they are byob and a there's a small store next to it that sells wine. They also own the Greek pastry shop next door for your Greek pastry fix. Reservations are highly recommended as they are very busy towards the end of the week.“
“I have some of the best pizza in Somerset however I think they are changing to a cheaper Bridge it seems like everyone is getting this Easy Bake Oven flour to make horrible bread the cheese and the sausage fantastic but please please go back to the better bread it might cost a little more and maybe you can charge a little more but this bread that you have now is not going to work this is not going to keep you in the top class right now you're fading with that bread but we like the sauce and the cheese so much we will order again can we bring you our own dough cuz that bread has got to“
“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.“
“This is my favorite restaurant and bar ever. I bring all my family and my friends here every time I am in New Jersey. And the staff are the best people ever. Can’t give this place enough compliments… 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it.“
“4/6 : Google is showing a number, which is mentioned as a number on the website, but when we call, it is going to a different number. Nevertheless, no one is picking both numbers, called around 5 pm. Is this out of business??Old review:Good newyork style halal platters in oak tree road. Parking is available just opposite the shop. Boa ATM in 20 feet distance. Chicken platters, falafel, and hummus are good. Maintaining good quality.“
“Mamoun's Falafel is a true gem for falafel enthusiasts! From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in the inviting aroma of freshly fried falafel and exotic spices. The menu boasts an array of Middle Eastern delights, with their signature falafel stealing the show. Each bite is a delightful explosion of flavor and texture, perfectly complemented by the assortment of fresh salads and creamy tahini sauce.The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a quick bite or a leisurely meal with friends. While the service is efficient, there may be a slight wait during peak hours, but trust me, it's well worth it.Overall, Mamoun's Falafel delivers a delicious and authentic culinary experience that won't disappoint. Whether you're a falafel aficionado or simply looking to explore new flavors, this beloved eatery is a must-visit. Just be sure to come hungry!“
“Halal Spot offers an exceptional dining experience with top-notch customer support. The butter chicken is a standout, rich in flavor and perfectly seasoned, while the fried fish provides a delightful crispy texture. The zinger burger is a must-try, delivering a perfect balance of spices and juiciness. The platters showcase a variety of delectable options, making it an ideal choice for those who want to savor a bit of everything. Overall, Halal Spot impresses with both its stellar customer service and delicious array of dishes.“
“Not sure which cuisine it is but tastes good. If you eat spicy food then you may not like this place. I tried their khorma and qabuli, which was really tasty and comes with huge portion, complementary bread and butter and salad. You cannot find food at such a reasonable price. Highly recommend.“
“Don't let the size fool you. While it is a small restaurant, the food is outstanding. The lamb was spectacular and the chicken was fantastic. Staff was very friendly and engaging. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed!“
