Tapas Restaurants near Linden, NJ

“this is the best bar an restaurant Katrina an Abby are the best bar tenders an the food is amazing.“

“Found them on yelp while visiting family in NJ and looking for some good local Pizza. The vibe, atmosphere and decor is very cool. 90’s Hip Hop music on shuffle and cool art pieces to match. Pizza was good - prepared in a brick oven. The burgers that sounded good on paper left a bit to be desired. Suggest to stick with the pizza. Overall a solid 4
will be back for the pizza and tunes.“

“Just tried this place and WOW ! The food was absolutely delicious. The chicken had the perfect amount of kick and flavor, and the pork was seasoned to perfection. And let me tell you… the Curried Beef Lumpia and the fresh fruit juices was to die for.

On top of that, the service was amazing. The owner is so warm and kind, which really made the whole experience even better.

The only downside is that it was pretty cold inside there’s a noticeable draft. If they can fix that and make it warmer, it would be the perfect place to sit and really enjoy your meal comfortably.

Overall, definitely worth checking out. I’ll absolutely be back!“

“We had the pleasure of dining for the first time at Due 360 in Summit. From the moment we walked in, Luis the manager and Brianna welcomed us and seated us promptly. Luis was very attentive and made sure we were happy with our order. Our server Sofia was extraordinary! she was warm and friendly with genuine smile. She offered excellent recommendations and we had conversation as if we're know each other for years. We started with a complimentary bruschetta, it was tasty and nicely flavored. I ordered the Tapas- Polpo Ala Plancha, Steak Yuca Frities and Crabmeat/shrimp tacos. Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. The portion was perfect and the presentation was impeccable. Due 360 was quite a gem of an Argentine-Italian restaurant (interesting combo but it worked!). This place is going to be my "go to" dining spot. I highly recommend it and the experience is worth it.“

“Love the delicious food 🥘“

“Wine was ok, but the cake...........................insane“

“I’m so happy I discovered Roosterspin recently and have been back many times. 100% recommend! Love the unique menu! My only ask is to start serving cocktails (they only have wine options).“

“I love this place. They always have great and fresh food. My favorite has to be the vegetable ramen. It’s so delicious, their chicken wings are flavorful and guns texture is pretty good. I love their bubble tea as well. I order through Uber eats majority of the time, I wonder if I can directly order from this restaurant though. I think I’ll find that out. Today I ordered the matcha green tea bubble tea, usually I order the mango milk bubble tea. They must remember because Uber gave me a complimentary mango bubble tea. This place is highly recommended by me. 10 stars“

“Amazing gluten free cafe!“

“I went there with my wife this evening and it was a great experience. We had delivery a couple of times, but eating at the restaurant was so much better. We were greeted with a big smile by Demi and she took great care of us. We had the large Meze appetizer and the small Mixed Grill and it was perfect. We had plenty to take home for Super Bowl snacks. We had a nice chat with Demi and she gave us a complimentary dessert of their homemade ice cream. The flavors were baklava and walnut. They were delicious. I highly recommend eating there. Thank you so much Demi for a great experience.“

“My family and I went to Fornos yesterday after my daughter’s graduation from MSU. We didn’t make a reservation, but lucked out getting a table because two minutes after we sat down the line was forming. All I have to say is the service was impeccable!!! The food was amazing!!! The ambiance absolute perfection!! I highly recommend!!“

“Outstanding craft cocktails and delicious food! I only wish I had found them on my first night in Rahway rather than my last. I would have been here every night…“

“This is a hidden jewel. We were spending the night at a nearby airport hotel looking for dinner. We found this and took a chance. It is in the middle of a neighborhood, but don't be fooled this a a Tapas Bar treat. Food, Service, and Drinks were fantastic!“

“Great food and fun atmosphere!“

“Lunch service was nice. However my brother ordered a Paella and there was hardly any rice in it. Given the fact the waiter insisted it would feed 3 I'm glad he ordered his solo cause it was barely enough for him. I ordered a chicken breast and chorizo lunch special. It was good. Aside from the spicy flavors it was great. The service was fantastic. It's no wonder they've been around for a long time. My brother recommended this place since he's been coming here a long time. I'm definitely opened to give it another try.“

“We’ve been to Violets on many occasions..it’s our go to place for great food and the staff are phenomenal! I highly recommend Violets and look forward to dining there again soon !“

“Great food ! Great service! Great music!“

“The Food is Wonderful!
The atmosphere is intimate, but Great Vibes. (The venue has 2 levels; downstairs dining area and upstairs lounge area.)
They offer Hookah as well.
There is room for improvement however, as some of the staff in the dining area, don't speak English well, so they require assistance from other staff members when taking an order.
Wouldn't hurt if Drinks were a pinch stronger as well.
Overall, I enjoy myself everytime I visit.“

“super small place oy about 6 tables plus a few bar seats. food is super expensive but we had Erin as our server and she was absolutely wonderful. can't say enough nice things about her. super friendly and very attentive to our needs. she made it a wonderful experience. food was not great, a little bit greasy and very overpriced. there's literally about 4 choices on the entire menu. Reuben sandwich with fries ($15) chicken tenders with fries($13) bowl of mac and cheese ($12) chicken wings (6 for $8) we weren't going to eat here but it is inside the hotel and we didn't want to drive anymore after a long road trip to get to the hotel. if it wasn't for Erin's awesome service then we would have walked out.“

“Great wine different flights to sample. You can even buy bottles“

“In a world where chaos and mediocrity too often prevail, it is a rare and invigorating experience to encounter a pizzeria that stands as a beacon of order and excellence.

The decor is warm and unpretentious, the lighting soft yet deliberate—a space that invites you to sit, to breathe, to reconnect. It is not ostentatious, nor is it neglectful; it strikes that rare chord of intentional simplicity that calms the spirit and focuses the mind. Here, the act of eating transcends mere consumption and becomes a shared ritual, a moment of communion in an age too often defined by isolation

The staff, too, embody virtues that resonate deeply. They are attentive without hovering, competent without arrogance—each interaction a small but meaningful demonstration of responsibility and care.

This is no trivial thing; it reflects a commitment to the dignity of the individual, a principle that ripples outward from the kitchen to the plate.

And then there is the price—fair, reasonable, and reflective of the quality bestowed upon you. It is not a gouging demand, nor a cheap shortcut, but an honest exchange that honors both the effort of those who create and the patronage of those who partake. In a culture where value is often distorted by greed or undervalued by apathy, this pizzeria stands firm in its integrity, offering a meal that satisfies both body and soul without exploiting either, or compromising much of anything.

In sum, this pizzeria is more than a place to eat—it is a humble archetype of what humanity can achieve when we strive for excellence with purpose and pride. It is a sanctuary where the chaos of the everyday is held at bay, where the simple act of breaking bread becomes a celebration of life’s possibilities. I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who seeks not just a good pizza, but a taste of the transcendent in the ordinary.

While it is excellent, excellence is a virtue that must be maintained, I think this team is up for the task.

All in all Comet Pizza is my favorite thing since Russell Crowe screamed 'Are you not entertained?!' in the hit motion picture Gladiator back in 2000. I’d fight a tiger in the arena for their pepperoni pie.

It’s pretty good! Definitely will come back!!!“
