“I tried this restaurant for the first time recently and I was really impressed. The food was fantastic, delicious and flavorful. Everyone from the host to the servers were extremely hospitable and friendly. We started with the naan and lentil soup. Then ordered the lamb chops and chicken qorma. The baklava for desert ended the meal perfectly. I can’t wait to visit again!“
“i got mix shawarma, they had iftari for every one who needed to break their fast , and it was free. the service was amazing, my food came out super quick, the quality and the quantity is just perfect ,best gyro in nj! highly recommend and the great service from maliak , she was the sweetest and helped with alot. she passed out dates to everyone when it was time to open our fast , and told us to help our self to anything from the table . will be coming again with my whole family! loved it“
“Pretty good overall. Seemed like an amateurish operation at times but I understand they're trying to rebrand and become more of a steakhouse. I'd go back eventually to see how it turns out with the steaks (had seafood). But for what they're charging right now I would expect close to perfection, it wasn't near that. Still, overall good.“
“Wonderful experience dining here. Delicious chicken combo for 2 - chicken chops especially good!, varied dips with pita, large servings. It was all great. Service and atmosphere were super too. Will definitely be back, highly recommend.“
“To start this is a great place. They were super accommodating to our group and we had a great meal. We started off with the meatball and the feta and olives. Both were fantastic appetizers with a ton of flavor. Next we both decided to enjoy the chicken and lamb platters. The platters were priced very well and had a ton of food included. It was the best value on the menu and delicious. Overall it was a solid night out with friends and I definitely would go again.“
“This was the best Turkish restaurant I have ever been to. They had wonderful service, who work really hard and are the best waiters! The general atmosphere was also really nice, everyone was happy and enjoying the experience. The food was also the best I have ever had. Other restaurants in the area cannot beat this. I will be coming back, this was a memorable experience!“
“I have hired them to cater for my daughter’ grad party. The food is amazing. The owner is very responsive, prompt and on time. The food was so good. Everyone loved it. It was a huge success! I highly recommend this restaurant and their service“
“I ordered the Lamb Gyro and the taste reminded me of my time in the Middle East.I have eaten many gyros from many restaurants but the Gyro from here tasted exactly like in the Middle East.Kudos to the owner for getting the authentic taste to New Jersey!“
“The Falafel House has become one of our favorite places. Friendly staff and great service deliver delicious food. Eat in and enjoy the Egyptian atmosphere or take out. Either way you will enjoy an amazing meal.Don't forget the home made chips or dessert.“
“It's a really great place to try if anyone likes Mediterranean food, and especially I recommend trying the falafel bowl or wrap because they make it fresh in front of you, and their quality and quantity are also awesome for the price they charge. Their customer service is really great. Overall, it's a must-visit place.“
“Masala Bay is a fast casual dining offering a blend of Indian and Middle Eastern-inspired bowls and burritos (wrapped in naan bread). Its unique naan variations paired with spicy spreads create an intriguing experience.Vegetarian options: Has a whole bunch of Naan Options, Falafel and Samosa chaat“
“The owners are so polite and kind they make the orders super quick and tasty. I ordered the fat burger it reminds me of the Italian Cheesesteaks I grew up on in Jersey City it was amazing! I’ve ordered from this place several times now and every time it’s been good and they’re open later than most places in the area (10 PM on most days) so that’s a plus for me since I’m a bit of night owl. The portions are huge which I like and their menu has plenty of options to choose from. I love this place and will def be ordering more.“
“Caffe Piazza was a big, welcoming surprise in its unassuming location. Not since I've been in Italy have I had a similar dining experience. Welcoming atmosphere, the wait staff was exceptional - knowledgeable, attentive, courteous, helpful and friendly.The food - I dipped my bread in the olive oil and upon tasting it, immediately noticed that this was really good olive oil, and it went uphill from there, everything we ordered and tasted, looked, and was, delicious.The house salad came out and my wife and I both agreed, this may be the tastiest salad dressing we'd ever had! I don't know what was in it!My grandmother was from Calabria, and she could cook, and I grew up eating her sauce, so I never get the Sunday dinner (Stofato Special) at restaurants as I'm usually pretty sure I'll be disappointed. I gave it a shot and it was excellent. The meatball, sausage and braciole were tender and tasty and the sauce was scrumptious over the fresh made pasta. I was in heaven. I cleaned every drop of the bowl with my bread.The other 3 diners ordered a fresh pasta with a tomato cream sauce, a seafood dish and a chicken with vegetables dish and every single dish looked so good, I am thinking I'm going to have to go back at least 3 more times to try them ?Had the pistachio gelato for dessert. Just full of pistachio flavor, and that creamy gelato texture that makes your tongue dance, savored every bite.I ordered a cappuccino, which upon tasting it, also lifted an eyebrow as it was exceptionally good.After dinner, the owner, who is from Italy took pride in telling us about their ingredients, their philosophy and their roots in Calabria (no surprise!). He also shared that their family has been serving up delicious meals here for 29 years, that's just amazing. Just like back home, he offered some Limoncello to end the meal which sealed the deal.If you've been to Italy, or if you haven't, check this place out and you'll feel like you were.“
“This place is incredible. Every single dish that we ordered popped with flavor (chicken kabab with rice and salad, a traditional gyro, and Mediterranean platter w/baba ganoush, dolmas, grilled vegetables, falafel and pita). Everything had a lightness to it, freshly made and expertly prepared. This was nowhere more evident than with the baklava with its light crispy pastry, delicious honey and pistachio paste. The decor is warm and comfortable with exuberant music. We loved it and are definitely coming back. Btw, I felt that the portions were generous, but if you are value minded, you owe it to yourself to try the daily specials. We had the gyro on a Tuesday for $6.99 !“
“As MiddleEasterner, I definitely suggest this high quality Turkish restaurant for Kebab lovers. The food was so delicious as you feel you are in Istanbul and the hospitality proves it.Don’t forget to order Ayran (yougurt drink) as drink and Keshkul as dessert.I will come back again !“
“Perhaps i ordered the wrong main entree. The appetizers were good we got wings and the pretzels 6/10. i got chicken and waffle for my main and i have to say it was the blandest chicken ive ever had. No flavor in the chicken or the coat. Bland waffle. Most of the seasonings were on the egg and they didnt even ask me how i want that cooked because i definitely wouldve said sunnyside up…. They gave me over hard 1/10. Being unhappy with my choice i tried some of my friends’ pizzas and they were decent if you like soft crust (no crunch)7/10 in my opinion. Pistachio ricotta cake was dessert and it was good 9/10.“
“Excellent place to go to . We had a lunch there today and all the food was delicious!It’s a family owned restaurant , very clean place and the food has all the savory off an authentic Lebanese restaurant !I highly recommend this place and if i could rated it i would give him 20 over 10Good luck guys“
“This place is my freaking go to for a salmon salad! I order a "caesar" salad with salmon. They give you such a generous piece of fish on top of the salad. I put caesar in quotes because it doesn't taste like your regular caesar dressing - but it still tastes good lol“
“I want to highlight Danny for handling an issue in the best way possible. I am a manager myself and know how important problem resolution is. After a slight issue with an order, Danny empathized with me and fixed my order. He was kind, understanding, but also firm enough in his explanation that shows that he is extremely well trained and responsible, and above all, a leader. So, thank you Danny!“
“Nice, upscale Italian spot in Somerville! We came here for a friends birthday with a party of 12. We were sat on time. We brought a few bottles of wine as the restaurant is BYOB. Their menu has a lot of options, and they had a full page of specials. We ordered some appetizers to share, and my favorite was the rice ball trio which was on their specials. For my meal, I had veal Marsala over angel hair. It was good, but not my favorite because it was very salty. My wife said her food was very rich (seafood and vodka sauce). Service was very quick. Overall a nice place for a date night or special situation.“
“Very good food. First time having Egyptian food but it was quite enticing. It's a small quaint place but during pleasant weather they've got sidewalk seating which I think is awesome. I'm thinking it probably is a BYOB but you may want to call them to confirm. I did not see any liquor on the premises.I was seated immediately and served by whom I believe may have been the owner or manager. Very nice man and very helpful.“
“This is my favorite restaurant and bar ever. I bring all my family and my friends here every time I am in New Jersey. And the staff are the best people ever. Can’t give this place enough compliments… 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it.“
“What an unexpected, pleasant dining experience. We had the experience of a meal that is a true delight.The pleasures that Silk Road provides are many: the elegant dining rooms, the attentive service, and the wonderful food, the attention to detail, and the friendly atmosphere all come together to delight the customer.We had been out on a dreary day, one of many such days lately. My wife suggested we go to Silk Road, that it would be a treat on such a somber afternoon. An excellent choice!We were promptly seated for lunch. No sooner than we were seated our server had a carafe of water on the table. The decor has been done with care, cloth napkins speak to the pride Silk Road takes in its image.We placed our order. We were immediately served Afghan salad and Lentil soup. The salad was loaded with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, the lentil soup delicious (and I dislike lentils!). Two pieces of Afghan Bread were served shortly after, piping hot and delicious. We were told the bread is baked fresh in house. We could have been satisfied with these first offerings, which were offered with our entree. My wife had the Large Mantu, which are steamed dumplings filled with minced beef, chives, and afghan spices, garnished with dill yogurt. She shared some with me: delicious! I had Banjan, an eggplant dish redolent with Afghan spices. Both entrées came with Naringe Palaw, a rice with orange and saffron, an intriguing combination of flavors. My wife, who doesn't particularly like eggplant, loved my dish almost as much as I did. A true gustatory delight.The owner spent some time with us, his pride in his restaurant and his cuisine evident, his desire to provide a warm and friendly atmosphere makes for a great dining experience. Do yourself a favor: venture forth to Silk Road. You'll be pleased you did.“
“Mamoun's Falafel is a true gem for falafel enthusiasts! From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in the inviting aroma of freshly fried falafel and exotic spices. The menu boasts an array of Middle Eastern delights, with their signature falafel stealing the show. Each bite is a delightful explosion of flavor and texture, perfectly complemented by the assortment of fresh salads and creamy tahini sauce.The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a quick bite or a leisurely meal with friends. While the service is efficient, there may be a slight wait during peak hours, but trust me, it's well worth it.Overall, Mamoun's Falafel delivers a delicious and authentic culinary experience that won't disappoint. Whether you're a falafel aficionado or simply looking to explore new flavors, this beloved eatery is a must-visit. Just be sure to come hungry!“
“Not sure which cuisine it is but tastes good. If you eat spicy food then you may not like this place. I tried their khorma and qabuli, which was really tasty and comes with huge portion, complementary bread and butter and salad. You cannot find food at such a reasonable price. Highly recommend.“
“Try the ADANA KEBAB, it is perfectly seasoned and mouth watering tender. The wood fired pita bread is delicious, soft, and balances perfectly with the appetizer. We have been coming to this location for years and have never been disappointed. Service can be a bit slow when they get busy but the waiters are friendly.“
