The staff was incredibly accommodating from start to finish and made the entire event feel special and stress-free. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — every guest commented on how delicious everything was!

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a bridal shower celebration. We truly appreciated the excellent service and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Alev Mediterranean for both special events and a great dining experience!“

“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.“

“What’s wonderful meal before the show!! Surprising gem!! Excellent food - so fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is lovely and the restaurant is beautifully and authentically decorated and so so clean. We were really impressed. Our Server New everything about all of the selections. He was able to share all of the special ingredients for each item and with such a warm smile!“

“I cannot recommend this venue enough! The room was absolutely beautiful, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly accommodating and attentive to every detail. They went above and beyond to help bring my vision to life, including customizing the napkin colors to match my baby shower theme, adjusting the icing color for my cake, and arranging the room exactly how I wanted it.

They were also very flexible with both setup and cleanup times, which made the entire planning process so much less stressful. The service throughout the event was exceptional—every staff member was attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure everything ran smoothly. There was plenty of space to have tables for gifts, desserts, favors, raffle/games, and food.

The food was outstanding and one of the highlights of the day. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was, and it was such a thoughtful touch that they allowed guests to take leftovers home.

A special thank you to Tom, who was incredible to work with. He truly cared about making my baby shower special and made sure every detail reflected what I had envisioned. Thanks to him and the entire team, my day was absolutely perfect.

If you're looking for a venue for a baby shower, bridal shower, birthday party, or any special event, I highly recommend hosting it here. You will not be disappointed!“

“Had a great lunch here the other week. Food was delicious and atmosphere was very relaxed. The salmon was cooked just right and was very juicy. All of the appetizers we had were excellent but the fried zucchini was amazing. The only negative was we were here for longer than I had hoped for but that's not a deal breaker for me. I will be back, just not when I am pressed for time lol“

“All of the menu's perfect“

“Always a delicious meal! Try it, you will love it 😍“

“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!!“

“Delicious Mediterranean food.“

“What a wonderful experience! The food was amazing, I even had the eggplant which I haven’t touched in years. Great atmosphere. Polite wait staff and the owner was a sweetheart! They really try hard to make your meal memorable. I don’t normally write reviews but I had to for Cypress Tavern. All of our guests had a great things to say about the meal and the service.“

“Stopped here (while traveling on 287 (exit 45)) for lunch. The food was absolutely delicious! The staff were friendly and welcoming. We ordered pizza and the godfather panini. Everything was fresh and super flavorful. Only complaint is that we live too far to visit more frequently. Will definitely be back again when we are in the area.“

“The owners are super nice, the food is always amazing and the place has a warm quiet atmosphere. This is our go-to place. I love the prishmi paneer, the vegetarian manthi and the Mediterranean delight. My husband always loves the lamb shank or lamb kufta kebabs with the rice, carrots and raisins. Either way we always have to share the baba ganoush and their special desert. Great byob dinner date spot.“
