Turkish Restaurants near Monroe, NJ

“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.“

“My brother recommended this restaurant. Came for my sisters birthday with my family. When i tell you it was absolutely amazing. Five stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️!!! Amazing service. They went above & beyond. Food was delicious !!! We will be back.“

“We were disappointed they weren’t open for in dining- only takeout. HOWEVER, we were delighted by our order- chicken shawarma and grape leaves. The young lady at the counter was sweet and personable.
We were impressed by the array of herb infused bottled vinegar that address a variety of ailments- curious about their effectiveness but at $50 a bottle didn’t want to gamble it.
We will be back for takeout and look forward to when they are open for dining.“

“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!“

“Best cafe in the area! Delicious baked good and the breakfast board is excellent! I want to eat everything when I go! Only open on the weekends (Friday-Sunday) so plan your visit!“

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