“Had a quaint dinner party with 29 people and it was phenomenal, from the service to the food. My advice, if you want to walk around, dance and take pictures comfortably, definitely no more than 20 people in the patio area. That’s just my humble review, you do you! Everyone still had a great time with the space that was provided.
Thank you Hunkar Family for being so accommodating and being a part of making our wedding night so special! We deeply appreciated it.“

“Me and my family decide to have a late lunch here after seeing the advertisement and reviews on instagram. We loved the food! The atmosphere and service was amazing.

“I had a great experience at Cava restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the ordering process smooth and welcoming. The restaurant itself was very clean and well-maintained, which added to the overall comfort of the visit. What really stood out was the quality of the food every ingredient tasted fresh and full of flavor. You can really tell they prioritize using high-quality, fresh produce and proteins. Whether you're building your own bowl or picking from the menu, there's something for everyone, and it all feels healthy and satisfying. I Highly recommend Cava for anyone looking for a fresh, flavorful meal with great service in a clean and inviting space“

“I wish I could give Sihana Bistro more than five stars. We hosted a surprise 40th birthday party for my brother and the party exceeded all of my expectations. My first call with the fantastic owner, David, was seamless. David is incredibly nice and so easy to work with. He catered to our every need, was responsive throughout the planning stage, and was present during our entire event.

Venue: This restaurant is beautiful. You feel good as soon as you walk in. It’s bright and spotless. The ceilings are high and the attention to detail in the design and decor is obvious. There was more than enough room for our all of guests and the layout - private room + bar area - was perfect.

Staff: The staff is SO KIND. The service was impeccable and they are hands down the best team I’ve worked with. They helped us move furniture, kept the food coming at just the right pace, served drinks quickly, accommodated all requests through the night, and let us stay after the restaurant closed because we were having such a good time.

Foods: One word: Excellent. The food was DELICIOUS and there was so much of it. We served a true buffet dinner and had leftovers after feeding all of our guests! The mushrooms were a hit!

Location: The location is great and close to literally everything downtown. The restaurant was easy for our guests to get to and there are so many places to go nearby after an event. The Rutgers campus nearby is also spectacular to see when you visit.

I highly recommend Sihana Bistro!!!“

“Amazing service and food, absolutely delicious!!“

“This place is very welcoming and has a great atmosphere, celebrating my birthday. The cocktails was very good too. I was very surprised with the piece of cake with the sparkling candle. Rania was very polite and kind. Will be definitely coming back here“

“Went this evening to try this new place as I was graving some shawarma. Had a beef shawarma that came with olives and pickles. Flavor was very authentic Middle Eastern in both the shawarma and pickles. I also had their fattoush which was very good. 2 people can easily be served from both the shawarma and fattoush! Overall, good food, nice place. Will be back.“

“The food was delicious, I did not know what I wanted so I ask the girl what she suggested. It was a amazing the chicken was so good . I like healthy food . I will definitely be going back can’t wait to try The gyros“

“My favorite Cava location to date. Every time I’m craving something fresh and filling, I know I can count on them. The bowls are SO customizable, and I love that I can choose exactly what I’m in the mood for. Their ingredients are always super fresh, and I can tell they put a lot of care into their food. I’m kind of addicted to their Grilled steak! The staff is always so friendly and they make the whole experience feel welcoming. I seriously can’t get enough of this place. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out! 100000/10 the absolute best!“

“Really good food and service. Falafel and garlic is sauce is out of this world.“

“Recommended by a friend. It’s a spacious restaurant with beautiful ambience. The food however is quite expensive and the portions average. Entrées of chicken and lamb each w/ lemonades and a kids chicken finger with soufflé can end up close to 160$. Could be lower imo.“

“Very nice place Delicious food“

“Great place. I recommend kufta wrap. And their rice pudding is sweet and good. Today I ate here. Had a good time. If ur new to Greek I’d stick to basics. I had something called yougart kufta. Overall, it was good. Little spicy so I wouldn’t recommend to most ppl unless u like spicey. I would just replace the bread and hot sauce with some veggies and white sauce. Appetizer—There beet root falafel with hummus and idk the baige colored sauce is really good. I come here for pick up. It’s a good spot. Enjoy.“

“Nice Place“

“I love it !! Mucver my favorite 😍 appetizer!!“

“I would recommend eating hrrr“

“I love this place❤️“

“First of all, the price of food to the amount of food you get is amazing. It is open 24/7 as well which is super convienent for late night cravings/munchies. I'm staying here in JC for about a month and it's the most affordable place in this area and the quality is the best Mediterranean or Halal I've ever had (I'm from FL). I recommend this place 100%!“

“My mom and I tried the pita bread with lamb kofta, and white sauce. It was so nice, and tender. The service was quick and friendly, and the overall experience was great. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a satisfying and tasty meal.“

“Tequila Bistro Hosted One Incredible Night for Team Ed Rodriguez We recently held a meet-and-greet for Assembly candidate Ed Rodriguez at Tequila Bistro in Elizabeth—and let’s just say, Ed raved about the food beforehand, and he wasn’t wrong. From the moment we stepped into the warm, inviting space—with its glowing string lights, rich Spanish tiles, and that cozy outdoor patio—it was clear this was more than just a restaurant. It was an experience. The crowd came for conversation, but the Mediterranean and Spanish flavors stole the show. From the perfectly grilled seafood to the paella that had people going back for seconds (and thirds), every bite was unforgettable. The crab-stuffed salmon? Game-changer. And then there’s the bar—a destination in itself. Sophisticated, generous, and buzzing with good energy. The sangria flowed, the handcrafted cocktails were on point, and the vibes matched the moment. The staff made us feel like family. They handled a busy room full of guests with warmth, precision, and genuine hospitality.“

“Everything tastes fresh and perfectly seasoned. The place is super clean, cozy, and welcoming. You can tell they really care about the food and the customers. I always come back. Highly recommend if you’re craving something delicious and filling!“

“I like to go to this mexican / tex mex restaurant. The food is always fresh and they quick on serving your food. Also the flavor of the dishes are really yummy. And the breakfast is a kick to start your day. Specially the torta de milanesa which is my favorite“

“Had the tasty falafel waffle and fava bean salad for lunch. Great vegetarian options plus a beautiful atmosphere and friendly service. Look forward to returning.“

“The visual appeal here is undeniable. This place delivers for culinary enthusiasts. The team handles requests with remarkable skill. This smaller establishment offers spotless conditions and a nice environment with metropolitan influence. I found this restaurant exceptional.“

“Thanks Enfes to make all my lunch breaks so colourful everyday! �“

“This place is great👍👍 Highly recommend to all my friends.“

“Ingredients are fresh and everything tastes so good all the time. I don’t even put dressing on my greens+grains bowl.“

“I ate good. They park at a nice spot for walking traffic. Looks like good people and rating reflects their quality. Salchipapas went so flipping hard.Hello again, I tried the chicken parm wrap and the chicken+marinara melted in my mouth. The chicken was delicious and hot. Gonna try and eat everything there over time (except spicy food )Also the snicker bar was 25 cents cheaper than the lame rutger vending machines, but 25 cents more pricier than njit vending machine ?. It was $2.“

“Had lunch here today with a friend. Ordered my shawarma bowl and mentioned to the girl at the cashier that my throat hurt and I was thinking of hot tea. She put together a cup of tea with fresh ginger and honey — so thoughtful!! And the food is top notch.“

“Don’t let the racist comments deter you from having some of the best food of your life! Will eat here every time I’m in town!“

“Great food , great prices. Friendly welcoming staff. the classic shawarma sandwich and falafel sandwich are delicious. do yourself a favor and get the mint lemonade, you'll be hooked :)“

“My dinner was delicious and the owners were great.“

“the food is so delicious fast service always open great service good people“

“If you see hateful reviews written here within the last 24 hrs, it is pure POLITICAL. These people most likely haven't even stepped inside this restuarant. I am pretty sure if a Republican candidate asked to be hosted there, they would honor the same. Regardless, everyone is free to support whomever they want including the owners of this restuarant. Now let's get to the real facts! Excellent cuisine full of vegeterian options. The best Turkish I had thus far. I brought my coworkers here and they loved it. I would highly reccommend this place.“

“Zaffron Bloom is an absolute GEM in Hasbrouck Heights. The family owned restaurant offers authentic Persian cuisine cooked fresh to order. The owners are extremely kind and will always do their best to make sure the food is good and you enjoy yourself. I’ve been looking for some authentic persian food for a while and this is easily my top choice in NJ. Seriously if you are ever in the area and are considering going here it is well worth it.
The food is cooked fresh when you order so take some time to enjoy the atmosphere and menu. They have everything from homemade cultural teas to fantastic kebabs and desserts. Not to mention their food is Halal for anyone curious. Like I said before if you want to enjoy some genuine Persian food there is no where else to look!“

“New to town. Checking out falafel in the area. Came upon The falafel guy on my walk home from YMCA. A small mostly take out joint with Mousa, the master, running the show. Don’t expect the fastest service because everything is made to order. Falafel was top notch. While you’re waiting, don’t be surprised if Mousa offers you a small cup of the soup he’s cooking for the day. His lentil soup was spiced just right and delicious. Prices are reasonable as well!“

“We ordered two chicken shawarmas and not only was the food OUT OF THIS WORLD (order the bakalava and thank me later) but the packaging was IMPECCABLE and it was so fun to eat. It wasn’t just lunch, it was unwrapping a thoughtful experience and being consumed by the magic of unwrapping it while your senses are exploding from the beautiful colors, amazing crunch, savory tastes and gorgeous visuals. HIGHLY recommend omg so good. Nap time.“

“Me encantó la comida, la atención. Estuve con mi novio que es Egipcio. Muchas gracias se los recomiendo 100%.“

“Love ❤️ Food nice in clean“

“Best gyros that you can find on Staten Island!“

“We ordered Cairo Falafel through Uber Eats, and overall it was a really great experience! The platters were flavorful and filling, but the absolute standout for me was the grilled veggie pita with fresh hummus. I honestly haven’t had anything like it before — the vegetables were perfectly charred, the pita was soft and warm, and the hummus tied everything together so well. Just thinking about it now has my mouth watering.

The only downside was the falafel. While they had good flavor, the texture was a little too dry, and they didn’t have that “wow” factor I was hoping for. Given the name, I expected them to shine more, but they fell short compared to the other items we tried.

That said, the overall meal was delicious, and I’ll absolutely be ordering again. Cairo Falafel clearly does a lot of things right, and I’m already looking forward to having that veggie pita again soon!“
