“By far the best kebab I've had in the US. Loved the food and the atmosphere and the people were lovely. Also, ordered a pitcher of Dough and a side of Zeytoon parvardeh and got Faloodeh & ice cream for dessert... everything came in the original flavor😍 definitely going back.“

“Amazing Food and service !!“

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

“When I express that the draw is real, that's precisely what I mean. I'm struggling to identify which aspect I relish the most, whether it's the culinary offerings, atmosphere, servers, proprietors, or parking. As I'm unable to choose just one, I must opt for all. Thank you for hosting me; I thoroughly relished every bit of my cuisine.“

“Great place for Gyro sandwiches and platters.The food is simply delicious !!! 😊“

“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.“

“Delicious homemade and plentiful food. Workers are very pleasant and you're always served with a smile!“

“If you love Mediterranean food, looking for something new to try, or need a quick lunch for your break, Flame Chicken is the spot. I ordered the beef and lamb gyro platter and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. It was cooked to perfection. I also had the fresh mint tea which was great. Service is quick. The staff acknowledges you right away and very polite. The establishment is super clean and kid friendly. Prices are very fair, especially with today's economy. I cant wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.“

“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.“

“Wait service was excellent! Food is delicious.“

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

“Great place for Gyro sandwiches and platters.The food is simply delicious !!! 😊“

“It was a wonderful experience trying Lebanese cuisine for the first time. I love everything my daughter-in-law ordered. My favorite was the Old City Platter. I got to try different things. The hummus plate was awesom❤️‍🩹“

“I had the Turkish Breakfast, portion was big and it was so delicious. Would definitely comeback and recommend to friends“

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement“

“Food is fresh & tasty. Staff are very nice too.“

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

“I ordered a maple cold brew with pistachio cold foam from their winter menu and a few donuts. It was all delicious!“

“From start to finish, our experience was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail from the service to the food was top notch. The new owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, checking in throughout the evening and truly making us feel like valued guests. The chef is nothing short of incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell there’s a deep passion and talent behind the menu especially if you’re a fan of French Mediterranean cuisine, which was executed to perfection. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an elevated yet cozy dining experience. A must visit spot that I’ll definitely be returning to!“

“Excellent service. What’s the owner name“

“After a tasty round of appetizers including tangy baked Fava beans, creamy smooth hummus, baba ghanoush and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside falafel, we feasted on two lamb dishes, one of which was perfectly grilled, and an order of couscous with vegetables. I still remember today how great everything tasted. Service was friendly and efficient and the decor included lamps and accessories imported from Morocco. Portions were generous and they provide containers for the leftovers. You can only eat so much! Highly recommended.“

“Service and food are excellent.“

“This is a great little café/diner right next to the Westfield train station. We are fairly new to Westfield and went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We were wowed by the wonderful customer service of our waitress, Cindy. She was very attentive, provided great order suggestions and also brought over their delicious housemade hot sauce to go along with our eggs. All the food we ordered was wonderful, including the short stack of chocolate chip pancakes, the egg and cheese sandwich on a hard roll, and the Florentine omelette. The chef (maybe owner?), Ash even stopped by later on towards the end of our meal to check on how everything was. We meant to write this review right after that, but then never got around to it and when we went back today a few weeks later, we realized how much we needed to write this up! This time Kirsten and Cindy both helped us out, and Cindy remembered us by our orders from the last time even though we had only been here one time- very impressive and shows a great attention to detail and customer service. Ash came by also, and it was clear he remembered us as well. The food was fresh and tasty yet again (we got the French toast, egg and cheese sandwich, and Greek omelette this time) and the prices are great. This place is a gem and is definitely becoming one of our go-to spots!“

“Visited a restaurant for the birthday party in May 2022. Clean, welcomed staff, good service, a lot of parking on the street. We placed an order. It was not too long, which is good because the reservation was for 6:30 pm and everybody was hungry. Appetizers were delicious especially both types of calmers. 3 people ordered NYS trip stakes. OMG! All 3 stakes were stingy. Nobody finished the stake. Medium and well done came up the same. Black color even tongue was black after eating the steak. It's because when cooked the steak did not clean the grail. Also, I recommend checking your receipt. We found 3 items that we did not get on the table for a total of almost $80. One of them we never ordered, and two newer ones were delivered to the table.“

“Food was awesome and fresh ! Service was even better ! Definitely coming back to try more things!“

“Teddy’s has a large selection of food for good prices! I tried the Spanakopita, falafel, the stuffed grape leaves, hummus, and greek salad. Everything was very good! I only wish they had a regular greek dressing and that the olives in the salad were pitted. Everything else was perfect delicious and satisfying! My partner had a grilled chicken salad and loved it. The service was great! They were very friendly and helpful!

Vegetarian options: Lots of options, but would love to see a vegan gyro with seitan or tofu (a veg protein).

Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegetarian options.“

“Deliciously spicy and authentic Lebanese food . Fresh tasting Lebasnes and midlleeastern foods. including fusion like shawarma quesadilla!

One of the best falafels in recent memory as well, with an amazingly creamy and light, yet not bitter tahini sauce . Spinach sumac triangles and hummus excellent as well ! Haven't been in a while and will be coming back regularly!“

“Great food, great people!“

“Best Egyptian food in the area!!“

“I luv it I would recommend Juicys💕💕💕“

“Humble seems to be the best word to summarize this restaurant. The men who run it seem to have a great rapport with their customers; they’ve been there for 20+ years and it shows. They were kind and accomodating. The food was plated carefully and was pretty taste. My only complaints were putting margarine on my pancakes without asking and the tiny plastic utensils, which left my hands covered in syrup. However both of those go to the restaurant being unpretentious. There’s no atmoshere to speak of but it was clean. I’d eat here again but probably wouldn’t go out of my way.“
