Turkish Restaurants near Monroe, NJ

“Friendly and attentive staff. Excellent food!!! The complimentary bread is fantastic! You really can't go wrong with anything you order here. Highly recommend the grilled branzino, Istanbul mixed grill, pomegranate salad, and the pides. The grilled platters are excellent as well -- chicken shish, lamb adana, etc. Love the baklava as well. Try it! You won't regret it.“

“4.5 ⭐️ I came here with my husband on a Saturday night and we loved it! We didn’t know what to expect. Also we pulled into a strip mall and were a little weary to say the least. Ended up being fantastic! We ordered the cold mixed platter, phyllos (beef). They give you a ton of pita lasting into the meal. I had the combo of falafel, chicken shish, rice. And he had lamb, beef shish saitain style(? Maybe misspelled). Everything was so delicious. No ‘funky’ pieces of any meat, very good portions. I liked the falafel but wish I doubled in chicken. Dessert - u would highly recommend the lava cake.The service is so friendly. Our waitress Toni was patient to explain the menu to us. And any person who helped or dropped off food was very nice.We will absolutely be back here. Also note it is BYOB. Nice atmosphere, clean and style was more upscale than I expected.“

“My favorite cafe in NJ! Run by a wonderful woman who is an excellent cook/baker! I'm not a vegan but there's something for everyone here! The fresh breads and creamy lattes are my favorite! I've had everything on the menu at this point but she has specials that I'm always excited to try“

“Tried this Halal Turkish place for their all day breakfast. The platter was great and came with Omelette and bread. Loved the pot of Turkish tea that was good for two people for 4 rounds each :-).Bakery was full of fresh stuff. Everything looked to be made in store.Service was top notch. Will be back.“

“Service was fantastic. Food was delicious. Appetizers were large. We had Instanbul Salad, hummus and liver for Appetizers. Everything was so tasty. The puffy "bread" was amazing with the olive oil. We ate chicken Alfredo, shrimp kebab, lamb gyro and lamb chops, never a complaint about the dinners. Plus we had some leftovers to take home. Desserts we ate were baklava, almond pudding, cheesecake, tiramasu, and tres Leche. They were all outstanding. Place was BYOB and a little pricey, but in my book, worth every penny.Parking: Plenty of parking spots available at 6:30pm but no parking spaces available at 9pm“

“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“

“Stopped here for a falafel salad takeout. This is a beautiful, family run restaurant that is extremely clean and well-maintained.. they have a cold case in the front for some delectable desserts like baklava and others. They also have a wide variety of authentic Turkish food items. The only reason for four stars today is because the falafels were rather disappointing. They were extremely hard and dry. It seemed as though they had either been fried too long or fried twice. And they were lacking flavor. I will definitely give this restaurant another try as everyone always has a one-off day.“

“I’m just going to say what a wonderful experience we had with friends of ours who tried Turkish & Mediterranean Cuisine for the first time. Please make a reservation if you coming during the weekend because they’re really busy. BYOB is a fantastic idea. The dishes are yummy.“
