“Really good food and great atmosphere. The Istanbul Combination was delicious perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and very filling. You can tell the chefs know their craft. Staff was friendly and welcoming, service was smooth, and everything came out fresh. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend.“

“Three of us had a wonderful dine-in experience at Koy Grill Marlboro/Morganville enjoying authentic Turkish/Mediterranean flavors and attentive service. From the moment we opened the door at 8:30 pm on a Sunday evening, we were greeted by a hostess who genuinely welcomed us to the restaurant. When we were seated, a pretty glass bottle of cold water was brought to our table, along with seasoned fresh/homemade Turkish bread and olive tapenade. The dinnerware and utensils were clean and tightly wrapped in napkin. Waiter and hostess (Ali and Olivia) introduced themselves. New to restaurant, I was given ample time to review menu. Both Ali (in training) and Olivia were very patient with my many menu questions. Needless to say, Ali and Olivia were spot on. We ordered multiple appetizers - shepherd salad, hummus + pita, crispy feta in phyllo rolls, and lentil soup. For dinner we had chicken shish, lamb adana, and lamb gyro + pita that I opted to top with grilled mushrooms and hot pepper. The online photos did not do the dishes any justice. I should have taken my camera out to share how plentiful the dishes were when served and how perfectly grilled the meats were, too! The food had delicious seasoning - that did not repeat afterwards. We took leftovers home and will enjoy lunch the next day. We each had desserts, too, that were served in glassware. One pistachio/gelato and two hazelnut/chocolate flute - both as pictured on menu. We were offered to take glassware home with us afterwards, but forgot to take with us while we focused on remembering to take our bagged leftovers. All in all, it was a truly enjoyable, unplanned Sunday evening dinner. Aside from the freshly cooked delicious food and desserts, it was one of the most pleasant interactions with restaurant staff that I can remember in a long time. Thank You Koy Grill and an even bigger Thank You to Ali and Olivia for welcoming us and for providing us with a great restaurant experience.“

“Amazing new restaurant! We enjoyed a terrific dinner at Marmara - the restaurant itself was beautiful and comfortable and the food was some of the best Turkish food we’ve had. From the hot puffy bread and the mixed cold appetizers (each one better than the next) to the lahmacun (a flat bread covered with ground meat and spices) to the entree kebabs and Adana, everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Our server Irfan was very friendly and attentive, as was the rest of the staff (there were so many people working and all doing a great job). We had a lovely dinner and can’t wait to go back!“

“For a $1000 meal I expect flawless service and unfortunately that was not the case. Drinks ordered during dinner arrived while eating desert. Two times they brought over the wrong drinks and one order they completely forgot.. Also when waiter brings over food he should know who ordered what and not have to ask again. Food was good but service needs improvement if those are the prices you will be charging.“

“Stopped by Hummus Republic and honestly didn’t expect it to hit this hard. Everything tasted fresh, portions were filling, and the flavors were on point. Great spot if you want something that feels healthy but still super satisfying. Definitely coming back.“

“I went there for the first time tonight. (brick,nj) I actually liked the food BUT THE SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE. I had never been there before and was unfamiliar with what and how to order. Apparently the staffthought that was funny and laughed about us and turned arounded to talk BS multiple times. Will not be back there.“

“What a delicious meal we had! My friend has been many times. My first, but not the last! We had Lamb and Shrimp, with delicious sides🍀“

“It was great. Besides they were one of the few restaurants open around 4pm on a Tuesday. Friendly service.“

“Wanted to try this place so I ordered DoorDash for lunch at work and sadly it was just okay to me 😢 I know taste is subjective and everyone has their own likes and taste buds, but I don’t think I will be ordering from this place again. I got the ON THE ROX bowl with chicken shawarma, rice, feta cheese, and supposed to be tomatoes, but they were forgotten and left off my bowl. I also topped it with garlic sauce and tahini sauce. The food is good, don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to give a negative review on that, I personally have just tasted better and was not really a fan of this taste. It was a bit of a let down for me, but I don’t want to bash them when taste is subjective. So what might not be that tasty to me, someone else might love.“

“With the bar as large as your is, the bartender, Anthony Kovach keeps constant vision on drink levels and show a very high level of customer service.. When in a bar and the bartender is good, I ask them for their name and yell them I appreciate the service.“

“Hey there ? I live in Islamabad, I visited Gyro King, the food is so Delicious and everyone who works there is so sweet and kind also the staff is so kind. We had visited many great places but I loved the Gyro King food. The Araby salad is so good in taste and all the other dishes I tried is also so yummy and delicious. Keep up the good work guys and don't let up on the consistency!“

“Terrific food and service! Will definitely be back“
