Our favorite place to eat at least once in 2 weeks but mostly every week. My husband and I can’t get tired of their grilled whole fish Branzini and fried liver. All the others are good, too, specially the appetizers... babaganoush, hummus etc. it’s BYOB! They have 2 nice lady who rendered good services and attention.
love the food the ambiance nice

This hidden gem serves up authentic and flavorful Turkish cuisine, with many vegetarian options such as cabbage rolls that are clearly labeled.

The main courses, like the mixed grill, are generous and suitable for sharing. The atmosphere is beautiful, warm, and very welcoming, making it a great place for a relaxed family dinner. Well-seasoned dips, appetizers, and vegetarian stew add to the experience. The food is known for being incredible, especially vegetarian appetizers like hummus, lebneh, and baba ghanoush, which receive high praise. The lamb shish, lamb shish, Adana kebab, and chicken shish are tender, flavorful, and full of authentic Turkish flavor, while the Chicken Adana is fresh and slightly spicy. Meatballs with butter on pita bread and lentil soup are also highly recommended, and the shepherd's salad is worth trying. The service is quick, friendly, and excellent, with staff consistently checking on guests throughout their meal. Owners Recep and Tunahan are incredibly friendly and welcoming. A large parking lot is available, though it's good to be aware they might close early on some days. Cinar Mediterranean Restaurant is a hidden gem in Livingston, NJ, ideal for those seeking delicious comfort food at reasonable prices, and it is also BYOB.
