“Had a few hours to kill before my flight at EWR. Looked up restaurants near the airport, found this and I’m so glad I did. Friendly staff, delicious Beyond Burger wrap w sweet potato tots, and a deeeeelish freshly made strawberry lemonade. Highly recommend! I’m keeping this place in my fav saves. If I’m ever back in Newark NJ I’m def stopping back. That drink was so perfect for the hot day!“

“I still rave about the garlic shrimp, pallella and sangria even in Nashville!“

“This food truck on University Avenue in Gainesville, Florida was an amazing find. I learned they originally came from Jersey. I ordered the Fat Darrell fries along with mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, and marinara sauce , and everything was insanely delicious. If you're in the Gainesville downtown area, you definitely need to check them out. Their menu is huge and they even serve breakfast. A full five-star experience.“

“This is a hidden jewel. We were spending the night at a nearby airport hotel looking for dinner. We found this and took a chance. It is in the middle of a neighborhood, but don't be fooled this a a Tapas Bar treat. Food, Service, and Drinks were fantastic!“

“Love the delicious food 🥘“

“This place is amazing! I have celiac disease and have a hard time finding safe places to eat. I had the gluten free chicken tender platter and chocolate chip cookies, which were both unbelievable. The wait staff was incredibly kind and attentive and explained that everything was prepared separately using a dedicated fryer. My gluten consuming family also loved their food. My husband said it was the best pastrami he’s ever had and my son had an “extra cheesy” grilled cheese. The owner visited our table and introduced himself. Cannot recommend this place enough!“

“Good home cooked latino food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 😊🥰“

“Food is delicious! Service is great. Bartender is in point with mixed drinks. Dessert was omg delicious and our server Giovanni is superb“

“I love a good double Italian hotdog and the best place to get one is here! They have the freshest bread and the food just tastes incredible! They are reasonably priced and give you good portions. The only bad thing is that it's a cash only kind of place, so make sure to bring cash. The next time I near this area, I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“I am gushing over the meal we had here. From amazing craft cocktails to an unforgettable dinner. Raphael, Julia, and Louis spoiled us. The cocktails were in fun glasses and were light and flavorful. The service was impeccable. We let them order for us. Octopus starter, then onto hanger steak, roasted chicken, sea bass, and the pork stew. All incredible with deep rich flavors. We had some great sides, a light salad to finish, and a lovely passion fruit desert. I can't say enough about this place.“

“Love ❤️ Food nice in clean“

“I grew up in Texas and enjoyed this authentic beef taco bowl for a casual and affordable dinner in Newark. The owner and staff clearly put their hearts into each ingredient in the bowl which comes together as a Tex-Mex festival of flavors.

Kid-friendliness: Saw a mother and daughter there. Lots of teenagers were eating there as well.“

“A very educational and fun visit to a neighborhood gem of a local crafter in the Ironbound section of Newark. The proprietor/distiller was very friendly and eager to teach about the distillation process and the history of whisk(e)y in the British Isles and the New World. I would highly recommend this tour especially for spirits education.“

“Great customer service , and good food !! Keep it up“

“Excellent food and presented well…, a value here!“

“What a great and convenient place to have lunch or breakfast. I truly enjoy the sandwiches and soups. My favorite is beef barley on Tuesdays. Chicken noodle fills the bill any day with different pastas to satisfy your palate. Friendly service and just a great place to eat. Come and enjoy your meal, it will truly be worth it.!!!“

“The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. Me and the family will definitely be back again.“

“Great food and a family driven establishment...“

“Had my first meal here this past Saturday night. I was surprised that such a gem wasn’t completely booked up on a weekend. The food was outstanding reminded me of my Nonna’s kitchen on Sunday mornings. The staff was amazing giavanna was our waitress and her personality, corky jokes and attentiveness made us feel right at home. Just like walking into my Nonna’s house to hang out with all my cousins. It was nice to see that as busy as she was she still made it back to our table multiple times to check on us. We will be back and will recommend this place to all of our friends and family.“

“A lovely Italian pastry shop in Newark, NJ, offering cakes, danishes, coffee, and many other fresh treats. The whole place feels neat and orderly, with a strong crew running things smoothly. Even though around ten folks were in line when I arrived, it moved quickly, and I waited no more than five minutes. The service felt warm, quick, and well-organized.

I found parking right across the street, since the shop has a small lot with room for around ten cars. For anyone seeking a clean, friendly spot with classic Italian sweets and pastries, this is an easy choice. I usually visit a similar shop in Fairfield, yet since this one is closer to home, we thought we should finally stop in — and it fully lived up to expectations.“

“Always as expected. I usually come here after work when I don’t feel like cooking.“

“First of all don’t be put off by the appearance of the bar, it has a bit of a sports bar vibe but, but it serves some seriously good food.\nThe staff are friendly , helpful and efficient.\nI started off with Fren onion soup, a favourite of mine, and it’s was as good as any I have ever had.\nI followed with the pork chop, which was well worth the 15 minutes wait that the waitress had told me about, and absolutely delicious it was.\nThe bar has an extensive selection of different drinks, I opted for an IPA, which was great.\nAll in all a very good experience, not fine dining by a long shot , but excellent bar food is offered.“

“Just a nice chill place with great food“

“If you’re looking for some of the best Middle Eastern food in Newark, Kebab House is a must-visit.

The shawarma is outstanding—tender, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly every time. Whether in a wrap or on a platter, it’s packed with flavor and always fresh. The kebabs are juicy and grilled just right, making every bite satisfying.

Their hummus is smooth, creamy, and full of authentic taste—perfectly paired with warm pita. You can really tell everything is made with care and quality ingredients.

The ambience is warm and welcoming, with a clean, comfortable setup that makes it great for both quick lunches and relaxed dinners. The staff is friendly and attentive, which adds to the overall experience.

Portion sizes are generous, prices are fair, and the food is consistently excellent.

Highly recommended if you’re craving delicious kebabs, shawarma, and hummus in Newark. I’ll definitely be coming back! 🌯🔥“

“Melhor lanche brasileiro da região“

“Hands down one of the greatest places to eat full of flavor and the food is so fresh 100% would really“

“Our table of 4 loved everything from start to finish. My chorizos were the best I’ve ever eaten (including Spain). Dinner companion Eileen orders the shrimp in green sauce every time and is in heaven. Husband Phil’s vegetarian paella and portobello mushroom appetizer were delicious as were the table’s side dishes of green beans and carrots (perfectly cooked) and potato chips (yum). Massive entrees of which we all took portions home to enjoy as leftovers. Expert service by real waiters who knew everything and met our every dining need.“

Next I come I will check out the bar. 😊Thank you kindly for a great first visit. 😊“

“Desde os donos ao Staff todos são 5*, e a comida é de comer e chorar por mais 🤤“

“I just moved a block away and decided to try this place out since it's so close. The first experience was pretty good. I ordered the spicy pork bulgogi Bowl and it was a lot more than I thought I would get. So that makes the price even better than what I thought it was. I definitely recommend this place I would go back and possibly order for takeout often since it's on my way home.“
