The food was amazing and they couldn't have enough of the Frena bread for everyone, they loved them with the trio dips. The best was the braised oxtail tortellini and the Nemesis dessert. But even more fabulous was lavender ice cream. Wow !! Great service and food.“

Just a 7-minute walk from Times Square, it’s the perfect spot to grab some incredibly flavorful kebabs. Right across from the food cart, there’s a proper seating area where you can sit back, enjoy your meal, and soak in the hustle and bustle of New York City.

Highly recommended!“

“Literally the best Knafe in all of Paterson. Better than any other spot. Most authentic Knafe I've tasted in America. The most similar I've seen to this one was in Chicago. And I've tried plenty of Knafe in America.

Also their Znud Al Sit are amazing. I usually call in the morning to make an order by noon time for best results.“

“A friend’s daughter recommended this place, and I’m so glad she did. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by a very sweet, attentive staff member. The space itself is beautiful, with a calm and relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel welcome right away. And the drinks are fire!“

“Been here many times. Finally got time to review. A very very sweet polite attentive guy on front. I see him always, manager maybe. So polite. Always finds time to say something nice. Said happy late BD to me even though he didn’t have too.
Great food. Clean“

“The food is delicious, and unlike most other bowl restaurants, you get unlimited toppings here. You choose from a couple bases, then a few proteins, and then as many toppings as you want. Comes with a side of pita bread. The food is healthy, clean, and not greasy.

The only thing I don’t like to be honest is that you can’t get any toppings on the side. I hate olives and my wife loves them and they wouldn’t give us olives on the side. But not enough to detract from the overall rating of the place. Just my own personal preference.

Friendly service, fast service, good prices, and large portions. Restaurant is spotless as well. What else could you ask for for lunch?“

“Great service I recently went because a friend recommended and was not disappointed I ordered the beef gyro sandwich very good would recommend.“

“Quality of food is outstanding & FRESH ! The price is just right! Love this place!!!!“

“I have Dined and I take Out once a week. The food is absolutely delicious and the restaurant from the choices, the prices, the quality is amazing. Fresh and made to order. The atmosphere is very welcoming. My favorite is the Lunch Menu. Thank you for always being pristine and delicious.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience. Staff was amazing!
Particularly in light of rude and incredibly entitled patrons who, without asking, moved bar furniture around and then berated servers when they politely asked the patrons to move it back.
The staff was lovely, food was great, drinks and wine fantastic.
If you see rude reviews, know they are from entitled people who are the worst ♥️“

“They had done a beautiful job with the decoration, the atmosphere was lovely. The waiter was very attentive to us. The food and appetizers were delicious. I also really liked that they offered tea and dessert after the meal. If you are nearby, you should definitely stop by, I recommend it.“

“Un buen restaurante, deliciosa comida Turca, buena decoración, excelente atención, variedad en el menú . Muchas gracias“

“Great food all around, sat down and tried nearly everything off the menu and had no complaints, wings, burgers, and platters all were great and make sure to try the bbq sauce. Usually hate bbq sauce but theirs is quite unique and haven’t tasted something like it elsewhere to this day. Really friendly and chill atmosphere, good price point“

“Delicious food and friendly staff. We had vegetarian moussaka, a dish with lamb and beef meatballs with couscous. Appetizer included dates wrapped with bacon and mezze Mediterranean (hummus, babaganoush, olives, etc). Desserts included chocolate cake with gelato and baklava. All well put together visually and taste“

“Yesterday, before I went exercising at Planet Fitness, I decided to dine at this Yemeni restaurant. This was my first time not only having Yemeni cuisine apart from my first visit at Qahwah House in Montclair, New Jersey on the twenty-first of May last year which was International Tea Day, but likewise, yesterday was the first time I celebrated Yemeni Unity Day at a Yemeni restaurant. The food was delicious, especially my main dish: The Lamb Mandi. I loved this place and I recommend going to this place for a taste of authentic Yemeni cuisine.“

“The food is yummy! Atmosphere is cozy, but not cramped. Good time! 👍🏻“
