“Walked in, didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised. The interiors felt like a high-end restaurant, and the food kept up with it!The covered outdoor space was comfy and classy, with beautiful green art on the walls. The flavors, taste, and texture were really top-notch Italian food I've had. Highly recommended.“
“Great tasting food !! This place should be always packed . My younger 16 year old son took me there ( he gets it on his way back from LA Fitness ) and I just loved the spicy hummus, pita chips, great rice pudding which the gentlemen at night recommended , and the chicken bowl with garlic sauce … what a delicious meal. Highly recommended… love to find new great tasting spots !!“
“Don't sleep on visiting Fava. The food here is amazing! We had a trio of spreads and the lamb empanadas and both were incredible. But the best part of our lunch were the cocktails. The Fava margarita is a delightful play on a Caribbean margarita and the spritzes were fabulous. The cucumber one is like springtime in a glass! I'd drive up from Philly just to eat here!“
“Excellent service matched by amazing authentic Lebanese food. We will definitely be coming back. The owners know the meaning of hospitality and show it in everything they do. The staff was so kind and welcoming. We appreciate finding gems like this in New Jersey. See you all soon!“
“I found this place by doing a Google search for breakfast close by after my son had an early morning hockey game. It was a cold, snowy morning and we stepped inside to a warm atmosphere and very welcoming staff. The chef, who I assume is the owner was so kind and friendly. The server was so pleasant and didn’t miss a beat taking care of everyone and answering the phone for take out orders too. We ordered the Turkish Breakfast, BEC sandwich, Nutella pancakes and a mushroom omelette. The food was delicious! Would absolutely, positively recommend! Can’t wait to go back!“
“Love this place! Their lattes are so creative and delicious (cardamom, cloves, rose hips.. so many infusions/flavors). Donuts are also awesome and the staff are helpful. I passed this place for years and never went inside.. (mistake!) now I go all the time. Have to say, their name/sign don’t let on to how to how creative their menu and drinks are.“
“Ambeli Greek Taverna is an absolute gem! The food here is exceptional, with every bite bursting with authentic Greek flavors. The service is top-notch, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. And let's talk about the octopus ? – it's truly outstanding, tender, and bursting with flavor, thanks for the recommendation Chris!! A must-visit for any food lover craving a taste of Greece!“
“In the 1970s and 1980s I spent 15 summers from June to August in Greece. This is the most authentic Greek food I've had since I was there. The choices are extensive; the intimate atmosphere is exceptional and best of all the wait staff are friendly, helpful and delightful. The displays of the desserts are mouthwatering. And the Greek coffee is perfect. In this restaurant you are back home in Greece.“
“Another wonderful and enjoyable meal at Limani. We had a late lunch on Easter and were seated right away. Our server came to our table immediately and asked what we needed while looking over both the regular and special holiday menus. Our wine was opened and poured and bread, olive oil and seasoning placed on the table. We were not rushed making our decisions even as a steady crowd filled up the restaurant. We all enjoyed our appetizers, entrees and dessert (we had to share because we were so full) and will definitely be back again soon.“
“This was another first for us but after reading the reviews we decided to try it. We went around 6:00 so we were seated right away. Service was fast. My son wanted a burger my husband ordered the steak sandwich and french onion soup and I ordered the shrimp scampi. The only thing I was a little disappointed was that the shrimp scampi came with nothing you had to pay to put rice and broccoli as sides so that made it a little pricey about $40. We didn't wait long for the food and the food was delicious none of us had any complaints very tasty nice size portions. Once we received our food the restaurant became a little bit more crowded and then nobody ever came over again to ask us if we needed anything or even wanted dessert. So we just asked for the check. In total for two drinks, a Shirley Temple a soup and three entrees the check was about $100 which we thought was very reasonable. The food was delicious and again the service was good up until the end when they got a little busier but other than that I think we would definitely go back. We parked on the street. The parking lot isn't that big but I think you can find plenty of parking in the neighborhood.“
“food was very delicious and service was exceptional. everything came out in a timely manner, we had Gazi (i might have spelled that wrong sorry!) as our server and he was excellent and very sweet. had a wonderful night and will definitely be coming back!“
“Visiting a friend in S Orange and was looking for brunch. I suggested we try Jackie and Sons, as he'd not been there. We're glad we went. It was crowded/busy on a Saturday at 1130am, but very efficiently run and things moved quickly. The Jackie's scramble and shakshuka were excellent, as were the juices and pastries.Fresh and flavorful. Great staff. Beautiful space.“
“One of the best Moroccan restaurants in the area. The Chicken Tagine and the Lamb Tagine was excellent and you can enjoy their delicious saffron rice all by itself. The portion sizes are quite hearty and good to share for two people. Get a reservation beforehand if you plan to visit on holidays or the weekend.“

“5 stars! Celebrated and hosted our daughter’s baptism here and our guests are still talking about it til this day! Food was great, atmosphere was beautiful and Mary was so helpful and friendly and made planning a piece of cake. I hope to dine here soon.“
“Great service. Great food. A little on the expensive side but considering the food and service I wouldn't say they are out of line. I might go as far as saying the service was borderline excellent. Don't miss their Sangria. It is one of the better ones out there“
“Great and fast service. There are many selections and options you can choose from. The meat is freshly made which I love. Chef said was so helpful and gave great customer service. The prices are reasonable. Atmosphere and service , food was perfect ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“
“A Nice Lil Twist to Your Standard Halal... Offering Kale and Spinach and a Few Other Items Not Available Typically... I Split the Greens w Rice... Chicken Was Flavored Well... AND Why NOT Have Grilled Onion and Raw Pickled Onions As MyS3lf... Also They Offer a Thick N Sweet BBQ Sauce Along Side the Standard White... Polite Young Staff...“
“Wonderful Lebanese counter with 2 tables inside. Their food is fresh and tasty, reasonably priced with meat and vegetarian offerings. Plus, they deliver!Unlike most Middle Eastern shawarma places , they have other Lebanese dishes like moussaka (Lebanese not Greek), and spinach pies, mujaddara, kibbeh and koshari.“
“My family and I love this place. It’s the only place we go for breakfast. The food is delicious and fresh. I always order the same dish (Florentine Benedict’s) The service is great. Everyone is very attentive. They have outdoor seating and parking.“

“This place is really good! I loved all the additional elements like eggplant, baba ghanoush, etc. The portions are really generous as well (I was super full and still took half mine home!) and easy to customize if you want to remove/add anything (smart screen ordering).Vegetarian options: Lots of good vegetarian options!Parking: No street parking, but they have a lot in the back!“
“Walked in here looking for deli meat and was disappointed to find out they do not provide it, so I just got a sub instead. I was blown away - for the price, the quality and portion is simply incredible. Will be stopping by for lunch more often!“
“The service provided by the waiter was outstanding. He was attentive, friendly, and ensured that every aspect of our dining experience was enjoyable.As for the food, it was absolutely delicious. I had the pleasure of trying the Greek salad, grilled octopus, and grilled shrimp, and each dish was prepared to perfection. The flavor was authentic and left a lasting impression on my taste buds.I definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and family .“
“Thanks Yelp for helping us to find Lebanese Eatery. We detoured off 95 to this Staten Island gem, and it was absolutely worth it. Delicious chicken schwarma, cheese manaish, lentil soup & falafel. The staff were incredibly friendly and kind. Truly authentic Lebanese food!“
“A delightful dining experience from the moment you walk in the door! The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all wonderful!Parking: There is a very small lot next to the restaurant that is easy to miss. If this is full, you can find parking in the surrounding neighborhoods. Just be careful crossing Bay Terrace to get to the restaurant.“
“Great dinner! My friends and I enjoyed 5-6 different appetizers, both hot and cold. There are a ton of menu options to choose from. We enjoyed the parsley salad, Laila’s combo which included four different dips (baba ganoush, hummus, muhamara and a yogurt based dip), octopus entree, cauliflower with tahini sauce, and the mini hot pies. All very delicious!! They also had a belly dancer perform through the dinning room. Fun atmosphere. Staff very kind and friendly.“
“Amazing, does not do their shawarma justice. Very authentic , from the flavors to how packed and generous the portions are. Only complaint is you don’t have the pick of toppings such as pickled veggies for Ex.This is a welcoming establishment offering great eats for all cultures. There are no politics inside which I love , but they show the faces of innocent children, women and men who have suffered from savage acts.. this is a duty they don’t have to do but they choose to do it knowing the harassment they can face. It’s important for everyone of us Americans to understand what is happening and not let their pain and abuse go silentCan’t this recommend this place enough 10/10“
“This place caught my friends today we stopped in and we were so excited and the place did not disappoint everybody was friendly the atmosphere the food was fabulous I love Greek food this is the best Greek food I've had in a long long time my friend and I were plotting when we could go back next it's worth a trip it's worth taking the drive if you don't live close best Gyros!!!!“
“From one more small business owner to another, this is how you do it! I ran in at closing time. They had no slices left. I've been working all day and was starving. Instead of sending me away, Brent and his team asked me if I wanted a slice of the pizza they were taking home. Brent pulled out a slice for me, heated it up, gave me a bottle of water and wouldn't even charge me for it. This is what i'm talking about. They just don't make places like this anymore.Big shout out to Brent and his team. Thank you so much. I was so hungry. It really hit the spot. Please support small businesses like this, that go the extra mile!“
“Hiba Hala was the only Hala place open on Thanksgiving, for the ones who didn't celebrate the holiday, they offer great food and service. I didn't get to take a picture, I had egg whites and turkey bacon cause they don't serve sausage for some reason, but ok and French toast. I ate it all before my flight to Jamaica. For a tea and breakfast ran me about $18 that blew my mind, but I did enjoy my food and was just happy they were open.“
“As a Persian who has lived in Iran for over 30 years, I must say that this restaurant can easily compete with the finest dining establishments in Iran. The quality of their food, especially their kebabs, is truly remarkable. If you have an affinity for meat, I highly recommend trying their barg kebab.“
“Great atmosphere. Rapidly seated. Got the falafel, hummus and salsa (comes with pita but I declined). Got a plate of pickles, on the house, which were flavorful. The falafel plate was filling and flavorful. It came with five balls and it was sufficient. The hummus tasted so fresh. I had no complaints. Street parking fyi. They accept card.“
“Adega Grill is our go-to for special occasions: graduation, birthday, anniversary, etc! The seafood platter is a treat for me and my family of 4! There's enough food for all of us! Tomahawk is a must try, especially to steak lovers out there! Don't forget to order a glass or pitcher of sangria!“
“It was easy to find, easy to park, the restaurant was lovely, and the food was fantastic! I had the pistachio salmon, on a bed of risotto, with spinach. I have salmon all the time, because I don't eat meat, but this was possibly the most delicious meal I've ever had!“
“I loved the food. It's very different. It was my first time experiencing Greek culinary. The cheese appetizer was soooo strong but good, the beet salad was great ( except for the goat cheese), the crab cakes i didn't like at all. the main dish was delicious. The desert was the best for me..they are not expensive and its BYOB.“
“The food is solid. Had a falafel sandwich and hummus. They both were very good. My daughter and son had chicken and beef shawarma sandwiches and enjoyed them. The server was very sweet and kind and took good care of us. We are used to the location in Metuchen which is nicer inside. The seating was rather pedestrian. I think they were having problems with their exhaust, as there was an unpleasant smoke from the grill wafting in the air. Next time, takeout.Vegetarian options: Falafels, salad, hummus and other apps“
“Amazing Greek food! Love that the greek salad in the platter came with a dolmades - can’t remember the last time I had one! So fresh and tasty. The Chicken Souvlaki Platter itself was delicious. Definitely a solid choice. The star of the show though was the spicy feta dip. MUST HAVE. So spicy, so flavourful, so damn good. I will be back just for this.“
“The beef pepperoni pizza was a standout dish for me. The crispy yet fluffy crust was topped with a generous amount of beef pepperoni, which had a perfect balance of spice and flavor. The cheese was melted to perfection, and the tomato sauce had a tangy and rich taste. I appreciate that the restaurant used halal beef for the pepperoni, which added to the authenticity of the dish.The fresh made to order garlic knots were a delightful addition to the meal. They were soft, buttery, and had just the right amount of garlic and herbs. Each bite was bursting with flavor.Overall, my experience at the pizzeria was fantastic. I will definitely be returning to try more of their menu! ◡̈-Aseel“
“I went with a diverse party of 10 and we were treated like we were at home. Excellent halal soul food, felt like down home southern cooking. I don't think there's a place representing soul food culture like this in Philadelphia or New York City. Staff and owner were extremely warm and accommodating. Generous and tasty portions. Highly recommend.“
“There was an uncontrollable sudden delivery issue for my lunch today. The owner himself came and delivered in an absolutely awesome display of customer service. I would have understood had I known his circumstance entirely . The food was delicious, the desserts just awesome . I just can't say enough how much I appreciated all the effort for my little lunch. Please give them a try I will be telling everyone I know to go here.“
“First time here and I’m leaving satisfied. The food and customer service was great. . . Would recommend this place to anyone around the area.PS. Thank you for surprising my wife on her birthday with the dessert and the attention given to her . LOVE IT !!!!“
“The workers were extremely helpful, impatient, great customer serviceVegetarian options: FalafelParking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: I was able to get my son chicken and rice . He's a toddler and usually picky so I was happy he enjoyed the food“
“Wonderful establishment with delicious rich tasting and hunger satisfying grub which are served in large portions that I couldn't complain. As a doordash driver every time I pick up from here the orders are always ready and the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Entering the establishment feels like home. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would be more than happy to.“
“Ordered a chicken platter late at night from Uber eats which can always be hit or miss…food was hot and super fresh, chicken was seasoned and my special requests were done perfectly. Next time I’ll pay for a little extra white sauce but not a big deal. Will definitely order again.“
“Ordered a chicken and rice w/ white sauce and hot sauce. 9.5/10 almost the best one I’ve ever had (best being in NY) This place was very close though! Not crowded, very clean, lots of tables and cheap prices. Will be coming back with my family for sure.“
“This will definitely be my go to spot for halal bowls in edison now. The lamb was declines and cooked perfectly. Loved the ample greens and rice, and I didn't even need to ask for them to load it up with white sauce which is my favorite. The mango lassi was also perfectly sweet and yoghurt-y.“
“This gringo dropped into this spot just lookin for a quick watering hole. Found a gem. Food is Portugese, vibe is a blend, locals only.. but that invite strangers. Can't speak higher of this place. Will be sneaking back in very shortly.“
“Usually never write reviews but this place is amazing. Friendly staff. Amazing owners. Everyone here is so nice. They remember your order, food is always fresh and ready early or when it should be when ordering ahead. Great portion size for not a lot of money. You won't be hungry. I get dinner here a few times a week and it never disappoints.“
“Seems decent for quick middle eastern food! I’ve only visited once and tried their mixed shawarma bowl which was a mix of chicken and beef.I don’t know enough about different middle eastern cuisines to know what type of beef shawarmas are different but this type was the longer strips that were tougher.Sauces were white and a red sauce. The red sauce was not particularly spicy hot but added light flavor.The restaurant itself has a few seats and the street parking is metered.“
