“We love the food here at Mercato. Always fresh and hot. The portions are big. Plan on having the leftovers for lunch. The flounder francaise is amazing. The fish is so fresh.
They have a selection of deserts. A must go to. This is a hidden gem!!”

“This little restaurant has delicious Italian cuisine, and at reasonable price given the location. This place is the opposite of many venues in Princeton, where the emphasis is on atmosphere and exclusivity. The emphasis here is wonderful food and great service and it won’t break your bank account.”

“I only did takeouts here but the pizzas were very good. Kind of pricey maybe but ingredients were high quality and it's Princeton area. I would go there any day instead of going to a generic pizza brand store.”

“My office always orders lunch from here. The sandwiches are delicious, prepared fast and neatly. The macaroni salad is great. There's a wide variety of snacks and beverages. Everything you could want from a deli.”

“Food, coffee and service was excellent”

“I'm so happy I found this gem. After during a few recommendations in a local group, I found myself in town and stopped by. Faraz welcomed me and I was instantly impressed by the vibe. Safe, clean, comfy, and friendly. The music was pleasant, modern, and not intrusive. I enjoyed my Americano and Faraz was extremely responsive and efficient when he noticed I spilled some. I felt pricing was reasonable and I'm eager to go back soon!

Parking: Ample parking is available behind the Cafe, away from the main road. There is one van accessible handicapped reserved parking space.”

“We had 3 sets of 3 scoops. 3 different people with 3 very different tastes in ice cream. 9 different flavors. They were all wonderful and exciting. This is not your ordinary ice cream shop but please do not let that deter you from trying them out. Just expect to be a bit adventurous and go for it. They are a small batch artisan style shop with many unique flavors to try. We also grabbed 4 pints of other flavors to take home and try. The owner was awesome, explained all of the flavors and offered samples. The inside was very cute with a good amount of seating for an ice cream shop. Please go and try them out because this is the type of place that would be truly missed by anyone that has visited.”

“I had shrimp biriyani, malai chicken, chicken boneless biriyani, goat sukka. Everything was delicious and service was excellent. I’m from other state and never had such good food in USA. I totally recommend this place.

“Wow! What a find! Just celebrated my birthday! The food, the atmosphere, and the service was stellar! The hostess explained the dishes in a warm caring manner. Will definitely be back. Created a wonderful experience.”

“This cuuute spot stole my heart. We tasted ice creams, 2 got hot chocolate with home made marshmallows, drinking to the last drop of perfection. I choose the chocolate cupcake vanilla frosted & cherished every minute of the tasty treat. Each bite was packed with perfection, moist chocolate cake with real cocoa, and a sweet memorable buttercream that I will have to buy a pint of on my next visit. (Order online ahead of time). Super fresh and delicious. Oh& the staff we're pleasant, patient, joyful.”

“Amazing food with amazing service and great presentation”

“I am very pleased every time I’ve come here in the last few months. We get seated right away and the food comes out pretty quickly. However, the five stars really goes for the people that work there. They are so friendly which is saying much now a days in the restaurant industry. They have a great attitude, very respectful and just seem to enjoy working together. Keep it Hamilton Applebees team!!!”

“I live about 40 minutes south in Lawrenceville, and the food at Chatpati is worth the drive up.

Easily the best Indian cuisine I’ve had in Jersey despite the humble ambiance. Think fast casual, but with a culinary team that has deep respect, and love, for the food they create.

Every dish was executed well. Big flavors, contrasting textures, gracious staff. Will return often.”

“Great food, great service and great atmosphere! If you live or work near by you should make this your go to breakfast and lunch spot!”

“Had a great time, Ritik provided great service, he was professional and was quite helpful in figuring out everything for us! The food was overall really good, I would recommend asking for some chutney with the paneer bullet to make the best of it. The paneer tikka masala and dum aloo were my favorites and desert was a nice finish. I will definitely be returning another time!”

“The service was Great we had an awesome server..I just wish the food was hot! It was room temperature like it was under a warmer. But other than that we had good time.”

“This was the busiest restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life. It is a fairly large space and probably used to be a chain restaurant, but it was completely PACKED with people who wanted vegetarian food! I was impressed. Plan ahead though; we waited 45 minutes for a table. There were very few options (only 2 dishes and an appetizer) for vegans. Someone had to come over and suggest them for us. When we did get the food, however, it was incredible - freshly made with beautiful ingredients. You could feel the shredded ginger and my dal had bright green baby spinach, which I almost never see in an Indian restaurant. If there had been more vegan options it would have been a 5.”

“It was our honor and privilege to be a part of a dear friend's B'day Bash last Sunday at Kochi. Dining at Kochi was one of the, if not THE, most memorable experience ever. We were totally floored by the exquisite food - and service - provided by Chef and Owner Mr. Jebu Matthew and his team. From the cool berry drink and amazing classic South Indian appetizers, to the numerous - and for us, many new - items that kept appearing in front of us almost magically during the main meal, served in the traditional South Indian style (on banana leaves), right through the delectable halwa and delicious jaggery rice payasam (desserts), we could feel the love and careful attention with which each item was prepared and pride with which each item was served. Plus, being served by Mr. Matthew himself was, in and of itself, humbling. He patiently explained the intricacies of each delicacy which helped us understand the complexity of the cuisine's varied flavors. To be actually seated (for hours) and served at the table greatly enhanced the culinary experience. We have rarely, if ever, felt that we have consumed a feast - but now, can proudly say so - because of Mr. Matthew and our experience at Kochi. This one-of-a-kind mesmerizing event will remain etched as an indelible lifelong memory. Thank you so much - for making this magic happen. Wish Mr. Matthew only the very best in all his endeavors !

“For a $1000 meal I expect flawless service and unfortunately that was not the case. Drinks ordered during dinner arrived while eating desert. Two times they brought over the wrong drinks and one order they completely forgot.. Also when waiter brings over food he should know who ordered what and not have to ask again. Food was good but service needs improvement if those are the prices you will be charging.”

“Our omakase experience here was truly one of the best we've ever had. Every dish served was outstanding, and every detail was thoughtfully attended to. The staff were exceptionally attentive and friendly, making the whole experience pleasant and memorable. The interior was beautifully designed, creating a calm and zen-like atmosphere that complemented the meal perfectly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an elevated omakase experience in NJ!”

“I love vivi bubble tea!💖 I was so happy to find this location when I was out today. I finally have a location nearer to me on route with my regular errands. (I used to only get this when I made a trip into center city Philadelphia for special occasion.) I haven't been for vivi bubble tea in well over a year. The staff is friendly and patient. And the tea is excellent as always.🥰 I can't wait until they get their noodle bar going too. 😁”

“Seasons52 Princeton food is delicious and varied as its name implies. Service is excellent as is its atmosphere.Managers, hostest,servers and staff are hands on, knowledgable,friendly and accommodating.Highly recommended.”

“Pretty good Chinese food. Tried this out for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Authentic Chinese flavors with a latin twist. The fried rice was the star of the show and the general cho chicken was good as well. Lo mein was a bit too oily and garlic chicken had barely any chicken and a lot of vegetables. Overall, pretty decent spot and will definitely be back for the fried rice … probably the best fried rice I’ve had from a takeout Chinese spot”

“Good food, Good staff will go back again soon”

“Amazing and tasty food!! Great service and great prices! High quality meats and chicken, all halal, with proper certificates!”

“First of all, amazing ice cream. So many flavors and a dang good variety. Got flight and should have just shared. These are not little scoops. So much ice cream. Toughest part was choosing. And the waffle chips are perfect.”

“The food is spectacular. Now ,I've read some of the comments and yes, the service is a bit slow - but you are not at a fast food restaurant! If you want fast, go to McDonalds. If you want great authentic food - this is your place. The portion sizes are large enough that I usually bring some of my meal home to enjoy the next day and I'm a big eater.”
