“We loved this place! Came once for brunch and once for dinner and both times food was great, fresh, great taste, large portions, nicely presented. We highly recommend this restaurant. The service is excellent as well, the waiters are always ready to go out of their way to make you happy.“

“We stumbled upon Toros because we were trying to find a place to eat on the last day of Ramadan. They were super packed but they told us if we waited for a few minutes they would be able to sit us. We were so glad we waited because the food was fantastic. It was by far one of my favorite Turkish restaurants in NJ. The service here is great. They are very attentive and the food comes out pretty quickly. The seating is a little tight but not uncomfortable. We didn't know they had a parking lot the first time but the next time we came, parking is right next to it which was convenient. Definitely recommend coming to eat here. Stop by in the afternoon on a weekday or weekend when its less crowded. You won't be disappointed.“

“AWESOME food! I love the atmosphere. And I really love the fact that they serve the best falafel in the city.“

“First time there for myself. My wife had been there recently for lunch. OMG, amazing. We started with their homemade, warm Pita with Babaganush (sp?). Awesome. I had their Arugala salad, which I like wherever I go. This was amazing as well. Then we had our entrees. None of us could finish our meals, they were so plentiful and delicious. We each took home doggy bags. We told them we couldn’t possibly eat desserts so we ordered some to go. They then brought out hot Turkish teas for us AND a plate of a custard for us to share. Delicious!!! WOW! This place jumped right up near the top of our list for favorite restaurants. We will definitely be back.“

“Excellent food, service and ambiance. Try the mixed grilled sampler, and the desserts are espectacular!!!“

“Ada is a great restaurant and an enjoyable place to spend an evening/ celebration with family and friends! The staff and host are always so welcoming and pleasant. The delicious food and desserts speaks for themselves always made fresh and presented with such style. We recently celebrated a birthday and had such an amazing evening thanks to Selchuk and the staff.“

“Had a quaint dinner party with 29 people and it was phenomenal, from the service to the food. My advice, if you want to walk around, dance and take pictures comfortably, definitely no more than 20 people in the patio area. That’s just my humble review, you do you! Everyone still had a great time with the space that was provided.
Thank you Hunkar Family for being so accommodating and being a part of making our wedding night so special! We deeply appreciated it.“

“Was looking for Mediterranean food for my wife and I on a casual evening out and we were not disappointed. Super friendly/helpful staff, wonderful atmosphere, and a wonderful selection of food. My wife and I got a bowl and we both loved it. If you are looking for a counter style Mediterranean place to eat this is a fantastic choice! All the food is made fresh. My wife ordered pita chips and falafel on the side and both were made fresh when we ordered. The pita chips were thick and super crispy. The falafel was incredibly moist too. Highly recommend!“

“phenomenal food! Great accommodations, and the christmas display is everything they say!“

“This place is really cute and has great food. Flavors are on point, yet some dishes have a modern/American twist on the Mediterranean food. It compliments it well. You grab a menu, then go to the counter to order. Food comes out quick, and it's a big portion size. Great area to walk as well. Highly recommend.“

“Truly one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Starting from cleanliness, to quality of food, everything is just perfect. Very nice and patient service, timing is great. I hundred percent recommend this place. It’s literally worth driving over all the way from Brooklyn.
Both lunch and dinner that I’ve experienced there so far were exceptional. Thanks again, we’ll be back soon!“

“Just had dinner here the second time this month and it was delicious!! Salmon, Lamb Beet and goat cheese, shepards salad and Smyrna salad fantastic!! All the Greek spreads and pita are delicious. A must try!! Lunch and take out specials too!! Gyro!!“

“Went this evening to try this new place as I was graving some shawarma. Had a beef shawarma that came with olives and pickles. Flavor was very authentic Middle Eastern in both the shawarma and pickles. I also had their fattoush which was very good. 2 people can easily be served from both the shawarma and fattoush! Overall, good food, nice place. Will be back.“

“The interior design is absolutely stunning! Very modern and chic. There are a decent amount of options to choose from the menu. Mocktail presentations are so cool and pretty, and the food portions are pretty good. Appetizers and main dishes are delicious! This place has very nice seating areas and cute spots to take pictures. Only note I have is the waiting time to order and receive the food. However, this was such a cool experience for a bachelorette dinner celebration, I do recommend this place.“

First off, I drove from Southern Bergen to come here. THATS how good the food is!

Not to mention, the owner is hilarious and will roast you if given the opportunity!“

“Shlomo's kindness and generosity is endless! Not only has he offered to participate in a PTO sponsored dine to donate today, but when our school staff ordered lunch to support, he refused payment and insisted the payment be donated to the PTO in full! He gets plenty of love and all is deserved! Thank you Shlomo and Gyro Grill for not only delicious food but for your continued acts of love in the Wayne community!“

“Everyone is really friendly! The new menu is fantastic! Tonight, I had the best hummus and falafel that I’ve had in years! My husband had the Shish Tawook and I had the garlic shrimp. Both were perfectly cooked and super flavorful. The chicken (shish tawook) was amazing - so flavorful! You have to go to this place - you won’t regret it!“

“Had lunch here today with a friend. Ordered my shawarma bowl and mentioned to the girl at the cashier that my throat hurt and I was thinking of hot tea. She put together a cup of tea with fresh ginger and honey — so thoughtful!! And the food is top notch.“
