We had Liva Mediterranean for a catering event and we were blown away. From the moment I called the restaurant until the delivery every step of the way was so smooth. They truly care about the customer experience. Their food was delicious. Everybody was happy. Highly recommend.

Greatest dining experience. Cihan has truly established a dining experience that is unmatched in the area. Their food always on point with the taste that they have and overall cleanliness is 10/10. I will be back with my kids for sure and I will let everyone I know to come here.

I recently got food catered for a party of 80 guests and El Turco did not disappoint! The friendly staff worked with me closely in recommending the quantity of food as well as the variety to accommodate various dietary needs of my guests. The pickup was smooth and punctual, and most importantly my guests absolutely loved the food. Thank you El Turco for making my event an absolute success! Highly recommend!

We loved our mixed grills and cold appetizer combo. Even the bread stood out. The service was excellent. The fries just needed a bit of salt, but they came with ketchup. It’s not a bargain spot but it’s nice in there and the portions are pretty good.

Food is really tasty and flavorful. The vibe and aesthetics of the restaurant is also really nice. The two staff members working today as hostess/server were not very welcoming or attentive to our needs. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time.

Absolutely incredible Turkish food! The appetizers and meats were amazing — so flavorful and perfectly cooked. And the kazandibi was phenomenal. The perfect sweet finish to an outstanding meal. Highly recommend!
On July 21, 2025 I ordered a meal I have ordered many, many times from this restaurant. The chicken was raw inside. I called the restaurant. I never received a replacement or refund as promised. I reported to the restaurant many times over the next couple of months that my bank confirmed no refund. The restaurant made the mistake and expected me as the customer to be penalized. After multiple calls to door dash and my bank I reported to the restaurant that I never received a refund. Multiple times I was told the manager would call me. I have spent hundreds of dollars and loved their food. This poor service has made me never order from them again. They allowed raw chicken to be delivered and never made it right! I have pictures posted on my door dash review of the raw inside of the chicken chunks. They provided a meal that was not edible and never made it right despite multiple chances. I will to continue to ask them to make it right, but I will no longer do business with such an establishment. They should have made it right with the customer and take. On the door dash fight. They made the mistake of allowed raw chicken to be paid for and delivered! Shame on them!

Lovely place in a diverse and beautiful part of Hackensack. More importantly the food is always reliable, quality and affordable for the area. If you like Med food you won't regret it.

This restaurant serve tender meats made it in the grill, perfectly seasoned, they called kebah, I ordered the mixed grill for one person, they also have for 2 persons, i recommend the turkish coffee, the pocion is small in a small cup, but that's the way it should be, is bold and perfect, for my wife I ordered the chicken kebah, she enjoyed, she is saying she will come back to eat again, i also ordered a mixed grill to go fir my son and my daughter, the tables are elegant and clean.

My first and only encounter with El Turco was a delivery meal and we had few complaints. Everything was well-packaged and tasted restaurant-fresh.
The baba ghanoush is everything I love in a good eggplant dip and a definite win in our book - seasoned, textured, and slightly smokey. We intuited this would be delicious when ordering by getting two containers of it, and this turned out to be a great life choice.
Chicken adana is a fan favorite in our house, and it's done pretty well here. They're like elongated loaves of marinated and spiced ground chicken, and delicious with rice and a dollop of yogurt sauce. We preferred these over the chicken kebab, which were flavorful but quite a bit drier.
Both entrees were served with a grilled tomato and pepper, which were still warm and slightly charred from the grill. They also came with small side salads, with lightly dressed and slightly wilted greens. My husband appreciated the extra veggies with our meal, but I far preferred the warm and soft pita rounds.
