Brought in fresh, and cut there it's the best hands down. I recommend everyone must try it. I personally get the Asian Calamari. Try it!“

“Named one of the top 50 places to eat in North Jersey in 2023, this family-owned establishment, named after the owner’s sister, offers Mediterranean cuisine and much more. I came to this Taste the Top like a Yelp Elite event today thanks to Sarah and her team. Located in Wayne off of Valley Road, Jackie Small is a bright, comfortable, and cozy eatery with 13 two-seater tables open during breakfast and lunch. There was no wait upon entering and being greeted by the staff, Hector. Their menu, inspired by traditional Middle Eastern recipes, is vast, featuring their popular shawarma grain bowl, Greek salad, as well as French toast, avocado toast, grilled cheese, blueberry pancakes, veggie bowls, BLT's, etc. It's first come, first served, as one orders at the counter, has a seat, and they'll deliver your food to your table. I decided on Smalls Scramble consisting of 3 eggs soft-scrambled, Gruyere cheese, roasted tomatoes, truffle home fries, and multi-grain toast. To wash it down, I went for the Mango Supreme smoothie (mango nectar, strawberry, banana, honey, and pineapple). The food was perfect—great portions and very good quality. The smoothie was delicious and refreshing. This place checked all the boxes, which I can recommend.“

“Wonderful food! Fine dining in a beautiful, elegant atmosphere. We had a special evening with out of town guests; petite filet was perfection! Will definitely dine here again in the future. Perfect for a special occasion with attentive wait staff, well executed cuisine and well appointed decor. Awesome cocktails, extensive wine selection and lovely decor. Thank you for a great experience! Can't say enough good things about this local gem.“

“Great new find in Montville that delivers tasty and authentic Mediterranean food. The place was clean with friendly staff. We ordered the gyros and hummus and they were more than enough for two and reasonable priced too. Will be coming back soon“

“It's a small and neat restaurant with a homey feel. I went with my family on my birthday. The chicken kebab, mixed grill and fatoush salad was amazing. The chicken is well spiced and melts in your mouth. The rice also had a unique flavot. The waitress was good as well. We will come back InshaAllah.“

“Absolutely love this place. Been coming here for years and its been delivering consistent satisfaction. Their lunch specials are superb. Dinner menu is also great. Great grilled meats, salads, mezzes, and top it off with some authentic turkish deserts. I only wish that they had the doner kebab available all week instead of just the weekends, but I guess some things are so good you have to wait for it.“

“Shlomo's kindness and generosity is endless! Not only has he offered to participate in a PTO sponsored dine to donate today, but when our school staff ordered lunch to support, he refused payment and insisted the payment be donated to the PTO in full! He gets plenty of love and all is deserved! Thank you Shlomo and Gyro Grill for not only delicious food but for your continued acts of love in the Wayne community!“

“So thankful a buddy took me here when visiting him in Parsippany. Bosporus' Shepard Salad was truly delicious! And the portions! Was two meals for me and the kunefe was flaky, honey, cheesy greatness as a dessert. Prices were very reasonable and the service was was great also. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Such a great place. The food is simple and always cooked perfectly. We order take out from here often when we don't want to cook but still want something healthy. We finally got a chance to dine in last night and it's very cute inside and also BYOB so don't forget a bottle of wine. Staff was very friendly and food came out quickly!Highly recommend the shepherd salad, liver appetizer, ezme, shish kebab, lamb chops and the mixed grill - it's more than enough for 2 to share! The rice is so good you'll want to eat it on it's own.Vegetarian options: Lots of dips and salad options as well as fish“

“Marakesh was an amazing experience. From the delicious kabobs and rice, to the tender lamb. Dinner was finished with Moroccan tea and desserts. The service was impeccable and the belly dancer show just added to the charisma of the restaurant. I could not recommend this place more. Mashallah what a great place!“

“Who knew that one of New Jersey's best Italian restaurants would be in a Hampton Inn on Route 46 in Fairfield? Well it is. Just all around great food and service. I would appreciate of the staff hovered a little less looking to take away finished meals!!!“

“We discovered this place a few months ago after the other Mediterranean place in town closed. This food is way better. We get take out every week. Everything I've had has been good... shawarma, kebab, even the burrito is good. Fries are solid, hot sauce is great. They seem a bit understaffed at times but worth the wait.“

“Ambience: Cute! Not a lot of tables. Service: Amazing! The lady who took our order and served us was so nice Food: Very good! Zuchinni pancakes were the favorite. They were hot and crispy. Loved the falafel platter and the chicken Adana kebab was juicy.“

“I recently ordered through Uber Eats and initially encountered a mishap with my delivery. However, the company swiftly rectified the error, going above and beyond by personally delivering my order. I had the pleasure of speaking with the owner and his son, who ensured that everything was taken care of promptly and with the utmost care.Now, onto the food – it's simply spectacular. It’s best Greek cuisine I've ever tasted. Each dish bursts with authentic flavors and is prepared with evident skill and passion. From the tender meats to the creamy tzatziki, every bite was a delight for the senses.But what truly sets it apart is the exceptional service provided by the owners. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is unparalleled, and their willingness to personally ensure that every order is perfect is commendable. It's evident that they take great pride in their restaurant and in ensuring that each customer has a memorable dining experience.If you're craving delicious Greek food served with a side of unparalleled service, look no further. They've truly set the bar high, both in terms of culinary excellence and customer care.“

“THEY HAVE LAMB ON THE MENU.100% quality and hearty prepared food. Meat is prepared and seasoned succulently. Rice is seasoned to a indulgent taste and texture.Best Mediterranean Restaurant in Passaic in contrast their limited seating. Definitely better than Halal Guys and Juicy Platters.“

“Ya know... I'm not here for the pizza. Sure, I'm definitely here for the wings challenge and you can see that I'm not one to lose a food challenge (:, but I can also tell you those were some of the most delicious wings I've ever ingested. Nice and smoky. Slow burn. So well done. I got myself a falafel platter to go and... waiting for the newspaper to interview the FIRST EVER WINGS CONTEST WINNER I ended up dining in. Homemade rice and falafel. Quality. Such friendly people, such fun. Plenty of room here. So I'm gonna go with this is a win for Middle Eastern in Boonton... and if they ever want to make a pizza with this hot sauce........“

Always juicy with a lots of cheese (A LOT), very tasty tomato sauce and incredible flavor. The Pizzas here are honestly addictive ??

“Fasil is exceptional for Mediterranean dishes. Everything is fresh and well prepared. The servers are attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Fasil has been one of our favorite restaurants in the Boonton area. We love bringing friends and family.“

“Place was packed, had to wait a bit, the line kept moving. The staff at CAVA was incredible, even with the nonstop flow of customers. Some of the customers were pretty brutal, unable to understand that it takes a minute to refill the supply of fresh food when there are this many people ordering rapid-fire. Also, it’s loud, if you call something by the wrong name or aren’t clear, they may pick up the wrong item. There’s no need to yell. Good thing the staff are super well mannered and able to roll with poorly behaved customers. Thanks, CAVA team for crushing it! You guys are amazing! (Oh, and the food is always SO good too!)“

“This was our first time dining at Barka. We were not disappointed. I easily give it 5/5 stars!! Tony was our server and he was fabulous. He was pleasant and very accommodating with all our requests. The cocktails and wine were great. There were 6 of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed our more than substantial apps. The lobster bisque was delicious as were the beet salad, Shephards salad and clams casino. My daughter and DIL shared the Paella for two. It was enough for 4! They loved it. I had grilled lobster which I requested to be removed from the shell and I loved it ! My husband had the delicious Halibut, my son had Ravioli stuffed with lobster and crabmeat and my son in law had the Osso Bucco. We all loved our dinners. This is surely a special occasion restaurant as it is truly fine dining and pricey, but well worth it!! We will be back!!“
