“First time there for myself. My wife had been there recently for lunch. OMG, amazing. We started with their homemade, warm Pita with Babaganush (sp?). Awesome. I had their Arugala salad, which I like wherever I go. This was amazing as well. Then we had our entrees. None of us could finish our meals, they were so plentiful and delicious. We each took home doggy bags. We told them we couldn’t possibly eat desserts so we ordered some to go. They then brought out hot Turkish teas for us AND a plate of a custard for us to share. Delicious!!! WOW! This place jumped right up near the top of our list for favorite restaurants. We will definitely be back.“

“The most amazing and delicious Turkish Breakfast I ever had. Not only in New Jersey area. I’ve tried lots of places in the Tri-State area and it’s definitely 5 Stars. Everything is homemade. There’s a lot of food when you order Turkish Breakfast. The cheese on the platter is very rich. Definitely try the Turkish eggy toast. It’s absolutely so yummy. It’s only on Sundays 10:00am-2:00pm. The atmosphere is fantastic. Especially for any kind of showers or parties. I’ve found out they have 2 more locations in Cliffside Park,NJ & Livingston,NJ as well. The owner is super nice and he welcomes and is so polite to customers. The prices are very reasonable. They have a huge parking lot. Handicapped customers are welcome to restrooms and parking lot.“

“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!“

“Thank you Nouri Cafe for your always great tasteful Middle Eastern food and your kind working staff. God bless you all 🥰🙏“

“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.“

“Delicious food , lunch menu available , BYOB, Liquor store within 1 minute walking distance , yummy desserts, indoor / outdoor dining, great service, reward points program 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for the incredible Gearhart Law event! Everything was truly spectacular—from the exquisite food to the stunning decor. It was clear that no detail was overlooked, and your staff executed everything flawlessly. The bartenders and team went above and beyond, providing outstanding service that made the evening unforgettable. Thank you for such a remarkable experience!“

“Easily my favorite place in Nutley now, I'll be back for more Turkish tea, a whole pot if can be—and to try their Kazandibi dessert. An amazing breakfast selection till noon & lunch menu after till 4PM. Looking forward to many more visits!“

“What a wonderful experience! The food was amazing, I even had the eggplant which I haven’t touched in years. Great atmosphere. Polite wait staff and the owner was a sweetheart! They really try hard to make your meal memorable. I don’t normally write reviews but I had to for Cypress Tavern. All of our guests had a great things to say about the meal and the service.“

“Just had the Monday thru Friday lunch special and added feta to my salad. With a soda it was just under $20. Absolutely delicious.“

“We went for the first time last Sunday. All I can say is wow. From the wait staff to the kitchen staff to management, everyone was incredibly friendly, unbelievably accommodating when it came to food allergies (they came out to talk about everything in specific detail to make sure it was safe before it was cooked and served), and the food was absolutely delicious!! I would absolutely recommend trying Marakesh out if you haven't been. They will be more than happy to go over the menu and explain anything you might not recognize or need changed because of restrictions. You can also call ahead so it can be prepped ahead of time for you. I will definitely be back again!!“

“Delicious Mediterranean food.“

“Our first time here. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was great. The service needed a little help. After we were served dinner it went down hill. They needed one more person on the floor and they would have been good. We will be back.“

“Close to where I was. I liked the menu posted on line, so I decided to try them. Not disappointed at all. Clean place with several tables in use by customers including outside. There were about 10 people working. The stream of customers coming in for orders and making orders was constant. That told me something about their food as I waited for my lamb gyro. All employees who took orders were professional and neither friendly or unfriendly; business like. That's okay, since they were all busy. The menu doesn't mention the croissants, and scones along with other things they offer so a trip here is worth the drive if you're nearby. My freshly made gyro was nice and warm and placed in a compostable container. There was plenty of lamb along with everything else. It was a very nicely flavored. The meat was tender and the pita was soft. Although I've had better, this was still good and the price was fair. I would purchase from Jackie's grill again, and recommend this place.“

“Quality of food is outstanding & FRESH ! The price is just right! Love this place!!!!“

“This is a delightful restaurant with fresh, exotic food. I will be back!“

“Always a great meal. The staff is great. We just keep going back. You gotta try it.“

“Stopped here (while traveling on 287 (exit 45)) for lunch. The food was absolutely delicious! The staff were friendly and welcoming. We ordered pizza and the godfather panini. Everything was fresh and super flavorful. Only complaint is that we live too far to visit more frequently. Will definitely be back again when we are in the area.“
