Restaurants in Hawthorne

“Well, this is a special place, don't you believe? Let's see.I was walking around looking for a place to eat and saw this deli , mind you that when you see a line outside a deli and customers willing wait in the cold for food , you know the food is going to be off the hook ! In line a sweet man was telling the history of the deli and how is the best town and anything I choose will definitely make me happy, another customer arrives and tells me to how much he loves it ! I knew I had found a gem that needs to be shared , because customer's are raving for it , the employees and owner sweetest guy very patient in waiting for me to decide what I wanted I even bought few things brought from Italy while I waited for My delicious 🤤 Little Nicky sandwich 🥪 which not only is so big I ate it for lunch and dinner 🍽️ is the best sandwich I've had in years ! I appreciate the stories of when it was established. I care so much for the excellent customer service and the way they run the place makes you feel like you step into a home! I'm definitely looking forward to what to try next!!! Sorry for the no picture of the sandwich, I ate the whole thing 🤣 don't forget grab freshly made mozzarella!!!!!”

“I was craving a smoothie and empanadas when I stumbled upon this local spot near our shop. I made my own banana and papaya smoothie, and it was absolutely amazing! I also tried the spinach and cheese, as well as the chicken parm empanadas. I've never had such unique flavors in an empanada before, but I must say they were incredibly delicious and packed with flavor! I’ll definitely be going back and highly recommend others to give it a try!”

“By far one of the best Thai restaurants in Bergen County!

We ordered the Khao Soi w/ Chicken, Vegetarian Pad Thai, and Green Curry w/ Pork — and every single dish was absolutely delicious. The Khao Soi was rich and flavorful with perfectly cooked noodles and tender chicken, the Pad Thai had the ideal balance of sweetness and spice, and the Green Curry was creamy, aromatic, and packed with fresh herbs.

The portions were generous, the presentation beautiful, and the flavors authentic and comforting. Whether you dine in or take out, Thai Cookery is a must-visit spot for anyone craving truly great Thai food.”

“Had a surprise birthday party here for my sister in law. The staff, including Brianna and Jasmine were fantastic. They were so accommodating with our requests and the service and food were on point! We were able to arrive early to decorate our party area that already looked very nice without our decorations. We picked off their standard party menu but they had no problem tweaking it to our requests. Last minute requests for pasta and butter for kids was no problem. We have already placed a deposit for my daughter's bridal shower for next year. Also..BYOB!!!”

“My husband works in Hawthorne and we we’re looking for a good Italian restaurant. After Google reviews we decided to order from Ossy’s and we are so glad we did. When you first walk in the atmosphere is nostalgic and authentic. The staff is so warm and welcoming. I spoke with Ken the last time to place our order and he was a total sweetheart. We have ordered from them twice so far and their food is second to none. You can taste their passion for food. My husband ordered the Chicken Napolitano both times and said it was out of this world delicious. My son ordered Rigatoni with Vodka sauce and practically licked his plate clean!! I ordered Chicken Marsala and Chicken Sorrentino and it was one of the best I have ever had. Yes this is coming from a Jersey Italian whose family once owned a restaurant in Newark so my standards are very high. We did takeout but we are looking forward to bringing the family to the restaurant for a sit down meal. If you are looking for a great Italian restaurant look no further. Ossy’s is your place!”

“Friendly place with attentive staff! Also, amazing food at reasonable prices! 🥞🍳🧇☕”

“Unbelievable flavor, really impressed!”

“very friendly and professional staff. fish & chips to die for. service was speedy, great atmosphere.”

“Loyal customer…. Have tried everything on the menu!!!! All delicious…. But that chopped cheese ? hit different ??”

“My daughter had her baby’s Christening party there. Everything was over the top. There was so much delicious food! Thank you for a fantastic afternoon Justin’s!”

“My sister CJ treated me to a birthday lunch on Tues, Aug 20,2924. The owner graciously greeted us & prepared a delicious lunch which incl. fried calamari appetizer- light and delicate flavor. Veal Enza and my dish, a layered veal, prosciutto, thinly sliced eggplant and fresh mozzarella in a light sherry sauce. Portions were generous allowing us to bring home a treat for later in the day. The restaurant is comfortably cozy in size - about 12 tables, spotlessly clean and a super clean bathroom and kitchen. I know that might sound funny but as someone once in the culinary field I consider it a reflection of your work . Santo’s kitchen is fresh smelling, no odor of left over grease- his counters were shiny and floors clear. Since it was not yet dinner time I told him my background & asked to see his kitchen. It amazed me! If you dine at Enza’s you know your food is fresh, owner keeps it clean and his prices are reasonable. Great spot!
Thank you for an enjoyable meal Santo!”

“I highly recommend Tim’s! The owners are super nice and their food is always fresh and delicious. 😋”

“There is never a time that I can say that the experience wasn’t exceptional from start to finish. The food is always incredibly fresh, and you could truly taste the quality in every bite. The menu offers a wonderful variety of Italian dishes, each prepared with great attention to detail. The staff at Villa Rosa were equally impressive, providing friendly and attentive service that makes each meal even more enjoyable. They were knowledgeable about the menu and eager to ensure that the dining experience was perfect. Check them out for your next event as well! They supplied my office with a great variety for our holiday party this year! Overall, Villa Rosa is a gem in Hawthorne that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious Italian cuisine and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.”

“Guy named Jayden that works there is a very nice guy
Made me feel like I was at home and offered something that he liked when I asked I don’t know what to get and now I have a new favorite food
He was so charming and sweat and was treating me like I was his wife
He has a good attitude and looks like he enjoys his job a lot
You guys should make Jayden an example to all new workers and make them treat people like how he treated me.
Everything was so clean and I enjoyed my food
I highly recommend this place because of Jayden he brightens up the place
I hope hayden becomes so successful in life and enjoy it to the fullest.”

“I just have to say OMG!! My dad’s company ordered a huge cake for his retirement party and we got the leftovers. It was absolutely by FAR the best cake I’ve ever had in my life.

“Amazing people and awesome bartenders. Had an awesome time tonight! Dakota, Daryn, Ashley, Missy and of course the beloved Laura. All amazing bartenders! Love it here!”

“Such a pleasure to work with Aiyana on hosting my first networking event! Since I didn't have much experience, I asked Aiyana for recommendations on how much food (with variety) to feed all the guests. She was so patient and helpful throughout the process. The food was delicious! The guests love the food. Aiyana & Keith set up everything so nicely for me. They went above and beyond in providing exceptional service. Both of them are very diligent and kind people. I'm so glad I worked with them. They know how to treat people right and deliver the best service. I hope to do business with them again!”

“We just ate there for the first time at the Warren location. We were surprised how busy they were on a Sunday since they are near an office complex. I had a burger, onion rings and a chocolate milk shake. All 3 were delicious. My husband had the hot pastrami and French fries. Both were excellent. We highly recommend.”
