“We had gola express on my baby shower it’s was big big hit. Even though all the guests are same they all requested gola express again on my daughters birthday party. Each and every guest enjoyed so much both the times. Great service. Sharp on time and highlight of both the events. I highly recommend gola express. I will give him 10 stars …. Thank you so much to make my baby showers and Shivika’s birthday party social. ☺️”

“Outstanding Paella party at our home. Chef Rafael is talented and highly personable. Excellent communication and menu plans. Flawless execution and cooking in our home. Our guests absolutely loved it. And DELICIOUS!!”

“So today I was searching on google maps for somewhere to stop and eat and when I seen the name I thought to myself, yup this is it.. My total experience was great. The man at the counter made you feel like you were at a families bbq. I went with his recommendation of a brisket and I believe chuck ground cheeseburger then I added some bacon to it. It really really was a great burger. I’ll definitely be stopping in again. Wish they had a couple tables to sit at but I won’t fault them for that. All in all 5 out of 5”

“Emily's is an absolute favorite stop for my Fiancé and I. We're about an hour away from Emily's, but we enjoy eating at Emily's so much that we make the trip at least 4 times a year. It's a scenic drive and close by to several fun towns like New Hope, Stockton and Frenchtown. We also hired Emily's to cater our wedding. Emily's has been, by far, our favorite vendor to work with. The only thing sweeter than Emily and her staff are the Peanut Butter Cookies. They are FANTASTIC.”

“This place is such a vibe!!! Excellent customer service!! Loveeeee Stacy, she’s awesome!!! Espresso Martini is to die for!!! Food is amazing!!! LOVE Everything about this place!! Highly recommend!”

“Nimbu is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by its fun and chic ambiance - every corner is Instagram-worthy with its stylish decor. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.

The menu was so tempting I wanted to order everything! I absolutely loved the paneer makani pizza - a perfect fusion of my two favorite things. Both ice creams we tried were fantastic, but the ras malai stood out with its creamy, rich flavors. And let’s not forget the Rani Mastani, complete with edible glitter - such a fun and indulgent touch!

Nimbu is ideal for a girls’ night out or a cozy meal with family. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!”

“Our food was delicious! Stuffed shrimp and veal with mushrooms in a frangelica cream sauce.”

“Visiting from out of town and this restaurant was recommended to me. I ordered the chicken francese with linguine. It was divine. The chicken was so good it felt like it was melting in my mouth. I highly recommend this place to eat. Especially this dish.”

“Amazing food, and I ordered their lunch specials, cripsy chicken sandwiches, and fries, and it's definitely worth it. The service is fast. The chicken was prepared very well, and the grandma sauce was delicious. The fries that came with meal tasted very food. I will order from here if I am around this place. Definitely support this business. Good service, and they do have indoor and outdoor seating, a very casual atmosphere. Restrooms on premises, too. Small parking lot. The menu is robust.”

“The host Aaron, was an absolute doll and THE biggest sweetheart. Automatically was greeted with a warm smile and a friendly hello. Was only here for a drink, but he hands down, has to be one of THE best host I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. To whomever his manager is, please, praise him for his outstanding service and overall endearing personality. I look forward to coming back again in the future.”

“Bubakos is really my favorite restaurant, I was hungry and wanted to try this bubakos. I live in Edison and wanted to stop by. It's delicious. The problem is that they didn't give me much rice or beans, in other places they fill with rice and beans and it's not a problem to pay 23 or 25 dollars but it's delicious”

“Having lived in central NJ my whole life, I consider Villa Francesco’s to have the best Italian food around. We rarely eat at the restaurant anymore, so I cannot speak to the service and atmosphere strongly (my wife and I used to love to go sit outside before it became more common after COVID!) but the food is always good. It was almost a year before I had tried anything on the standard menu because their specials were always so amazing! Now, we order takeout and cater regularly. Everything is delicious. Our favorites are the shrimp & scallop di mare and eggplant parmigiana, but I have yet to order something that has not been a crowd pleaser. If you want high quality Italian food, this is the place to go.”

“Excellent variety of food and drinks. Affogatos are very good, and a wide variety of pizzas.

Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free options and well-labeled”

“Great local spot for fresh ice cream and chocolates. They have a variety of interesting flavors to choose from- I’d most highly recommend Ed’s Special, which features chocolate covered pretzels with a pb & fudge swirl. Service is friendly and timely. Definitely stop by sometime if you’re in the area!”

“Went recently during a cooler evening and only 2 other people there. Excited to see an ice cream place with orange and cream soft serve. Got to taste their black raspberry hard ice cream and it was creamy and delicious.

The orange and cream soft serve was good but not the best I've had. The orange was more like a sorbet and tangy which I thought would have balanced nicely with the vanilla but it was too watery in comparison. It was icy while the vanilla was soft and creamy. The tang from the orange was pretty overpowering.

I think I'd opt for the hard ice cream next time instead. Some other reviewers mentioned being asked for a tip but that didn't happen to me when i was being served by an older lady.”

“Wow! Your croissants are the best I’ve ever had!”

“I was beyond disappointed with my son's graduation cake. The frosting was so thin you could see the cake through it, the fondant was bleeding color and you could see the edges of it, everything was messy, the numbers were falling off. I can not believe that the same person made this cake as those in the pictures on the website. It looked terrible and it didnt taste great either. I can't believe I actually paid for this cake.”

“Sensational sushi. My new favorite Asian restaurant!”

“hard to find a good american-chinese restaurant that isn’t over priced and tastes bad. first time ordering from Cheng’s and won’t be my last! got the chicken fried rice, perfect amount of chicken, not so much that it’s just straight chicken ??. also the sweet and sour chicken with the sauce on the side, the chicken is super tender! also the breading is nice and crispy and light, not too doughy. the broccoli garlic is classic, not too spicy but still flavorful. we placed a pick up order through the phone and the woman who took our order was very nice and easy to understand. we received everything in our order and it was hot and fresh. if you’re new to the princeton area and want classic comfort chinese food, skip tiger noodles and order from Cheng’s Kitchen????”

“I grew up in the area and this is my go to place when I am back in the area. I stop every single time.”

“Had a great dinner here. Shared crab cakes, shrimp, clam flatbread and dessert. Everything was fresh and nicely flavored. The dessert was the winner- chocolate olive oil cake with chocolate gelato. So good! Service was attentive and every staff member was friendly and genuine. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent food and friendly, professional service! I loved the appetizer platter and delicious white tea with my meal.”
