I also had their delicious lentil soup and was def big for a single serving. Already planning my 3rd visit in the span of a month.“

“Been going to Mediterranean Grill for years. First time since they did the place over. Looks very nice. Crisp and clean and very warm and friendly atmosphere. Food is always on point, staff friendly and attentive enough to not be overbearing. Wish we would have sat outside on the patio, it was a great night for it, but the entertainment indoors made us glad we did not ask to be moved. Always a pleasure to see Tom. Spent many a night with friends at the bar chatting and enjoying whatever special drink he would make us.. Great host !!“

“The most amazing and delicious Turkish Breakfast I ever had. Not only in New Jersey area. I’ve tried lots of places in the Tri-State area and it’s definitely 5 Stars. Everything is homemade. There’s a lot of food when you order Turkish Breakfast. The cheese on the platter is very rich. Definitely try the Turkish eggy toast. It’s absolutely so yummy. It’s only on Sundays 10:00am-2:00pm. The atmosphere is fantastic. Especially for any kind of showers or parties. I’ve found out they have 2 more locations in Cliffside Park,NJ & Livingston,NJ as well. The owner is super nice and he welcomes and is so polite to customers. The prices are very reasonable. They have a huge parking lot. Handicapped customers are welcome to restrooms and parking lot.“

“I like to go to this mexican / tex mex restaurant. The food is always fresh and they quick on serving your food. Also the flavor of the dishes are really yummy. And the breakfast is a kick to start your day. Specially the torta de milanesa which is my favorite“

“Had the tasty falafel waffle and fava bean salad for lunch. Great vegetarian options plus a beautiful atmosphere and friendly service. Look forward to returning.“

“I always order the chicken shawarma platter. It is served with my preferred choice of rice, pita bread, salad and their specialized sauce. The food is delicious, savory and a great dinner meal option. The portioning of the food is generous and healthy. I love eating at the Kebab House!“

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

“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.“

“Great tasting food. Good choices of food. The bartender rock. The piano man is superb. I give it a"9".“

“Had lunch here today with a friend. Ordered my shawarma bowl and mentioned to the girl at the cashier that my throat hurt and I was thinking of hot tea. She put together a cup of tea with fresh ginger and honey — so thoughtful!! And the food is top notch.“

“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.“

“Gabriella helped cater a lunch for me, and let me tell you, everyone loved all the dishes! Fed 30 people and was given nothing but compliments about the food and presentation of the delivery. Whether it's dining in or getting take-out/delivery, I highly recommend Gabriella's, you will not be disappointed. Will definitely be ordering more in the future!“

“The Hummus is the best in Morris County!! HIGHLY recommend you give it a try, but do not blame me if you’re addicted to it afterwards“

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

“Delicious food ,great service and friendly , nice place for family and friends to come“

“Don't underestimate this place. I've been to 5 star restaurants and in my opinion this eatery shares some of the same qualities that I admire in upscale restaurants: consistency and deliciousness.

The people behind the register are friendly but quiet. I go here during week when I want something that is fresh and high in protein. They provide you with generous portions so if you workout and need a solid amount of protein and carbs this is my favorite in the area. I enjoy eating here more than Chipotle, higher quality meat with bolder flavors and they serve uniform portions of chicken. They don't cut corners here.

The chicken platter is my favorite and I highly recommend it to people wanting to try something new. With the chicken platter I enjoy the fresh zesty flavors of onions, tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and tzatziki sauce on the side. I recommend ordering an extra sauce with your order. WIth the colder months I'd also recommend the their lentil soup. It was really tasty!

Side note: I don't recommend the cheese burger. It's not their specialty. Stick with the chicken platter.“

“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“

“I truly believe this is one of my favorite restaurants right now. Every time I have been there before and after the pandemic the food has been excellent and the entire staff is so kind and professional. I also love the atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious and fresh food- full of flavor, lots of veggie options, great baked goods.“

“Love those place. It was my first time here. We came a group of 5. The place is super clean. It’s a family restaurant. Everyone is super friendly. The food was amazing. Ordered humus with chips as an appetizer. We ordered a variety of things: Grilled mixed (chicken, lamb, beef with fries and rice), whole fish, salad 🥗 , eggplant. For dessert, it was a goatcheese with jce cream. Trust me and taste it. You can bring your own wine. Their Iced tea is good. Definitely coming back.“

“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.“

“We went for the first time last Sunday. All I can say is wow. From the wait staff to the kitchen staff to management, everyone was incredibly friendly, unbelievably accommodating when it came to food allergies (they came out to talk about everything in specific detail to make sure it was safe before it was cooked and served), and the food was absolutely delicious!! I would absolutely recommend trying Marakesh out if you haven't been. They will be more than happy to go over the menu and explain anything you might not recognize or need changed because of restrictions. You can also call ahead so it can be prepped ahead of time for you. I will definitely be back again!!“

“We want to thank you so very much for an outstanding dinner for 21 celebrating my husband’s 75 th birthday. Your staff was so very attentive!! The food was beyond delicious!! We can’t wait to return. Many thanks for a very memorable evening!! .🍽🍷🎂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“We have been getting take-out from Falafel Hut for many many years. It’s a great option for a reasonably priced meal. We have had a variety of items from the menu and have been happy with them. We have also ordered for parties / group gathering and everyone was happy with the meal.

Kid-friendliness: If your kid wants chicken fingers and fries, their’s are good.“

“Service and food are excellent.“

“We ordered some food for a 20 people for a home event. After talking to the owner , we ordered 3lbs each of chicken, beef and kebabs, plus lamb/chicken over rice and kibbe.
Food was delivered on time and the owner worked with us on pricing. Food was good and more than enough for everyone.
We will order again from them and I totally recommend food from here.“

“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!“

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