Restaurants in Princeton

“Long line, worth the wait. Friendly servers despite the onslaught of customers!”

“This is my third time visiting this A2B and the food has been consistently good. The parking is private and plenty of parking available. As you enter the restaurant, the ambiance is so pleasant and welcoming. The staff greets and gets you seated. The menu is via app and is very easy to use.
We ordered Veg thali for dine in Then ordered Crispy corn, Veg Kothu parotta, vegetable fried rice and Idiyappam with coconut milk.
The Veg thali meals was good portion and came with rice, Roti, Sambar, veg kurma, Rasam, yogurt, a desert, few sides of vegetables like spinach dal fry and sweet potatoes. I missed the Puli Kozhambu instead got the Mor kolambu. Overall the taste was spot on for Southindian meal.
We did order some snacks for take home and they were perfect and fresh. The take order took very long and we got to know that Idiyappam will take longer and had to cancel that.
Another great experience overall at this restaurant.”

“Dinner last was an ABSOLUTE DELIGHT 💕. My cousins and I had cocktails to start the evening. Their French Negroni was superb. M’s starters selections were fantastic! - Quail Lollipops and Foie Gras Mousse. For my entree, I had Steak Frites-Bavette. Dinner was nothing short of magical. The service was TOP-NOTCH. Thank you, Kristine’s!”

“Seasons52 Princeton food is delicious and varied as its name implies. Service is excellent as is its atmosphere.Managers, hostest,servers and staff are hands on, knowledgable,friendly and accommodating.Highly recommended.”

“The staff here has always been courteous and kind. I do wish they would fix the ordering screens on site so that it makes it easier when you go in to not have the staff stop to ring you up.”

“Delicious food and great service”

“On January 11th 2023, incredible Dustin, Once again prepared A sumptuous Gluten-free feast for me and a friend! He made Singapore noodles and Infused it with the perfect spices and it was ohhh so Scrumptiously delicious ? Dustin, not only is owner & Manager of Princeton PF Chang's, Talented gourmet Chef with a Heart ❤ of Gold!!! Also want to praise him on the delicious chicken lettuce wraps and amazing Spicy Chang's chicken he always remembers ti give me extra sauce in the side! Please give kudos to Zach who fixed the bill which was done asap and to let Patty , my delivery Angel know she was missed on 1/11 and none Other is like her she makes sure I have all the Extras and is sooo sincere and over the top service ?❤❗”

“Attended the Grand Opening for the New Smyrna Beach Location. It was very festive. The Bowls were delicious!”

“Mi Espana is outstanding! Totally blew us away! Absolutely fantastic authentic home cooked Spanish food!! The caldo gallego (soup with greens, pork, white beans & potatoes), sopa pescado (seafood soup), chicken paella, pulpo (octopus with vegetables), and torta dessert were all fantastic! The chef clearly loves what they do and you can taste it! Great service too! Better than the Spanish restaurants in NYC, N. NJ & Philly and very reasonably priced! Can't wait to go back!!”

“Had the 4course thanksgiving dinner here today. Great menu choices at a fair price. The food was delicious, the portions were generous. The service was outstanding , the staff was friendly. We will definitely be back.”

“Amazing food. Grilled octopus was perfect!”

“We went to dine with this rag tag restaurant and the experience was awful. The waitress had no teeth and asked my son for his? At first we thought “hey maybe they are joking” then all of a sudden. They lady grabbed his front bicuspid. Needless to say - at that point we were concerned. Because we had a long day we were still hungry. So we stuck around. The next thing you know. The toothless individual brought another toothless friend and tried to get my tooth as well. At that point. We know. Time to get out of here. We were cooked. Unlike the food at this gross place.”

“Highly recommend eating here. The sushi was very fresh and tasted amazing. The bubble tea selections were awesome. The creme brulee dessert was the perfect way to end the night.”

“Chopt in Princeton is great!!! The Uber driver didn’t deliver my order so I called the restaurant and the manger (Natalia) reimbursed my order and had my order remade and delivered it herself. She also gave me a coupon. She went above and beyond. She is awesome!!”

“Great”

“Amazing experience at the Witherspoon Grill tonight! Our waiter was awesome and their patio is dog friendly! Food was soooo good! We will return!!”

“Great atmosphere. We’ll definitely comeback.”

“If we only came here once, it would have been 5 stars. Upon second visit and trying more of the menu, I have to knock it down to a 4.

The good: The crispy spicy tuna appetizer was great. The Snow Queen halibut was absolutely incredible. The fish quality in the sushi is high across the board.

The less-good: I ordered a signature maki (the Ice and Fire) and did not like it. The Salmon Mentai was way too salty. The tofu skewer's breading was soggy.

At this price point, one of my criteria for 5-star is that I can order anything off the menu - and even if I assumed I wouldn't like it, the chef would be good enough to change my mind. This doesn't meet that bar.”

“We were there last night. Forget the poor reviews. When you walk in it feels like a pizzeria, but when the food is presented, it's like a 5 star restaurant! The presentation is gorgeous, the preparation is perfection. We were 5 in our party and everyone left happy. The portions were very generous and some of us brought leftovers home. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for, and it wasn't exorbitant either. Special shout out to Elizabeth, our delightful server (and daughter of the owner/chef) who treated us like royalty. Other friends who came in after us agreed!”

“Such a nice evening!! The food was delicious and our server (so sorry I don’t know your name!! The Hungarian girl from Felsoörs 🇭🇺🇺🇸) was exceptional, so knowledgeable of the menu, sociable, prompt and helpful! We had the fried eggplants & chicken popcorn as appetizers, then various types of noodle dishes, sesame chicken and seafood tofu. Super yummy, and cozy atmosphere. Will go back when in Princeton!”

“I was very pleased with the attentive and friendly staff.

The restaurant has a nice selection of pasta and sauces. The pasta was nicely cooked - slightly al dente. But, I found my pesto sauce was ok, not great.”

“Food and service was fantastic”

“I would highly recommend Winberie's! my husband and I went for the first time today to have some lunch. The Executive Chef, Steve Fitch, was so awesome! My husband has a laundry list of food allergies and Steve came out to offer alterations he could make to the menu items to accommodate us. Everyone there was so friendly and the cocktail and food we had was all fresh and delicious. I could have the parmesan tomato soup everyday for the rest of my life and be happy, it was the best I have ever had. Thank you for a great lunch experience, we will definitely be back!”

“Great friendly staff who make fantastic tasty mixed drinks and serve delicious food.”

“We visited for dinner on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend so it was busy (as was all of Princeton). However, the grin of house service was great … friendly and efficient and although lots of people jostling near the door we were pleasantly greeted and shown to our table. \nOur waitress was lovely and looked after us very well (Helen I think). The food was delicious and a nicely diverse menu. \nNice selection of wines (quite expensive). \nDefinitely worth a visit. Best to book.\nOh, and it can get quite loud so if you want a slightly quieter surrounding, downstairs might be better.”

“On a very cold December day we had several hours before a concert, and there was no coffee shop to be found because the university was closed. We stumbled upon this oasis of Com and Indian home cooking. They welcomed us in where we made ourselves at home, had delicious chai, excellent appetizers and entrées. The family could not have been more warm and turned what was a
cold grumpy day into a delightful pre-concert experience. For appetizers, the crunchy salmon and the crispy vegetables were our choice. I had the lemon coriander soup, which was lovely. Our entrées were the lamb Rogan Josh, mint chicken, and the cauliflower. We were very grateful for our delicious meal.”

“Food healthy with zip but not too much spice. Ballon bread pizza with Za'atar was sensational. Not always a fan of middle eastern flavors, but I was here. Prices were also reasonable.”

“Good service and good food for a low price. You get what you pay for!”

“Outstanding. a real fantastic place in Princeton, NJ city centre. Refined, nice people, fantastic food, outstanding wine list, umbeatable cocktails. simply perfect”

“Great food! Excellent service.”

“our server Gianna was the best server I’ve ever had. she should get a raise because she’s super nice and funny. she made the experience really good and we want to come again”

“Love the esthetics of this place. Tasty finger food. Little pricey for the serving size. Wide selection of snacks and drinks. Would highly recommend, very Pinteresty!”

“My brain chemistry have permanently been altered by the crème brûlée, dark chocolate mousse, and tiramisu cake here. Got the tiramisu cake for my mom as a birthday cake a while ago and have been getting special occasion cake from them ever since. every bite was delicious and the texture is really fun. It might feel like a small cake, but it is so creamy and complex it can easily be shared by 8 people. I Love how they use solid chocolate to do their letters when you order ahead. As a big pudding/custard fan, there is just something really unique with combing all these components into these beautiful cakes. I will say if you have allergies, definitely ask, I was once surprised by delicious hazelnut component.”

“I highly recommend this bakery! I’ve been a loyal customer since the day it opened, and it never disappoints. The desserts are always fresh, beautifully made, and absolutely delicious. Whether I’m stopping in for a treat or bringing goodies to share with others, everything is consistently amazing. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you’re missing out!”

“This place has quickly become my go-to for bubble tea. The drinks are always fresh, perfectly sweetened, and the tapioca pearls are just the right texture — soft and chewy but never mushy. I’ve tried several flavors, but the brown sugar milk tea and mango green tea are my favorites so far.
The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the service is always fast, even when they’re busy. The shop itself is clean, cozy, and has a great vibe — perfect for grabbing a quick drink or hanging out with friends.
Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving something sweet and refreshing!”

“Nomad Pizza has a delicious variety of pizzas cooked in a wood oven. I have been going there for years now and have not been disappointed with the pizzas, appetizers, salads and desserts. For the first time, I tried the wine. They sell Meadowcroft by the bottle or half-bottle at a high price. The red Zinfandel was the worst wine that I have tasted in a very long time. Both sour and tannic, I could not drink it. Do yourself a favor - enjoy the food but don't order the wine.”

“I love this place.Delicious food & friendly service.”

“WOW WOW WOW !!!! A friend gave me a dozen of your mini cakes as a gift. They are absolutely amazing and just the right size for a super yummy treat.”

“The crepes taste good and are reasonably priced for a shop in Princeton.”

“Ginger cardamom scones! Actually, all the scones are delicious. Coffee beans are roasted in a facility in Rocky Hill. Our favorite is the dark roast. Shop local!”

“This restaurant is very tidy and spacious and has plenty of room for larger gatherings. It was both comfortable and relaxing, and it would be great for friends and families.”

“Contes pizza is one the best in the Mercer/Bucks county area. I give it a 8.99. Service was fantastic, the people are friendly and pleasant. I highly recommend going to Contes. I know we’re going back.”

“By far THEE BEST oat milk mocha on ZEE planet ❤️🔥”

“Charming little cafe with excellent food and service 😊”

“Great coffee, relaxed atmosphere, super friendly staff, and I can sit outside with my pup.”

“Great job! Thank you Sweta!”

“They are the very best around! Never miss. Great for catering too. Get a slice, get a sandwich, a pie or a dinner, it's always great. I love the owners!”

“too expensive, horrible service, arrogant and ignorant staff. unless you have 15 minutes to wait for a simple coffee and muffin while these igorant people commiserate with college students, dont bother patronizing this place. $15 for muffin, coffee and tip makes Starbucks seem inexpensive.”

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10”

“Great service, very good quality of food”

“Always very tasty. Great staff. Great atmosphere.”

“Chuck’s has friendly and welcoming staff, which I really appreciated. The food was just okay for me; personally, I found it a bit too greasy and not quite to my taste. It might be a better fit for someone who enjoys that style, but it wasn’t my favorite.”

“Nice outdoor seatings. Order at the counter and they’ll bring the food to you. Pretty coffee mugs, but the latte and flat white are not as strong as I preferred. The sandwiches are tasty, especially the steak sandwich. Reasonable prices. Can get crowded on the weekends.”

“I work in the mall, and come here often for a quick bite to eat. The management and all of the employees here are so friendly, approachable and professional. I’ve never had a bad experience here, and they always have me coming back!!”

“This place will play

Parking: The valet is just a stand up amenity that reflects the duality of the club

Kid-friendliness: They’re nice to Abby”

“I've traveled to Thailand, and I must say, this restaurant rivals some of the best I've been to there. The Pad Thai was spot on, and the Tom Yum soup was a comforting hug in a bowl.”

“Food , service , ambiance was wonderful .”

“Such a great Rita’s. They have a wonderful selection of flavors, with more variety in both ice flavors and custard flavors than the average Rita’s. The service is also very good: friendly and timely. There wasn’t too much of a line when I went, so it was very quick.”

“Good food”

“This coffee shop is amazing! The owner is wonderful. She recently came to our apartment at The Parc at Princeton Junction for a wine and truffle tasting for Valentine’s Day and it was a fabulous event. So my boyfriend and I decided to stop by her coffee shop and try it out and was I blown away! The coffee was absolutely wonderful! The atmosphere is amazing! If you are ever in the Princeton area I highly recommend this coffee shop!”

“Great choice of teas, owned by tea enthusiast”

“Excellent chef and delivery service”

“*Best spot to have lunch in Princeton*
They have selections for everyone, even the pickiest of eaters. I brought my family in today and I had the pastrami, wife had the gnocchi, son had pizza, daughter had penne and we all had dessert!
Say hello to Joey's Angels when you're checking out!”

“Great place! Coffee is amazing and their matcha drinks are the best. If you’re ever craving something cold and fresh that’s the place to go’”

“Great cupcakes there. There’s a reason why they won or Food Network cupcake competition. I always make a stop here whenever I visit Princeton.”

“It's a coffee shop inside Whole Foods. Never seems too busy not that they moved it to a corner in the bakery section. Lots of options. You either have to leave with your drink or carry it around with your while you shop.

Vegetarian options: It's all veg and your can get dairy free stuff too”

“❤️ always, been visiting since 2018”

“In my opinion, the best Pain au Chocolat in Princeton or anywhere in the Americas.”

“Delicious fresh food, and the owners are so nice and friendly! Our go to spot when we're in the mood for Turkish food.”

“The atmosphere is a little stale but the smoothies are fantastic. They offer a variety of options. The best options are to the left of the counter. Unfortunately, I didn’t see that sign until after I ordered. I wish the worker was more personable. Thank people for coming, offer suggestions, ask if it’s my first time. It’s the little things that make a difference. After all, I’m spending $11 on a smoothie!!!! SMH LOL
It was very tasty and I will be back”

“Had been wanting to try Chapin for a while, but the cash only setup made it a bit tricky at first. Finally came prepared with the right change (and then some).

The place has limited about 3-4 people seating with stools on opposite sides of the wall. Tried their beef burrito — total came to $14.75 with a side of Tamarindo. Fair enough by Princeton standards. The taste? Solid. Not something that’ll knock your socks off, but definitely good value for the price. Noticed it’s a spot frequented by Latino customers — so I trust they know the authentic flavors far better than I do as an outsider. All in all, worth the visit if you’re in the area and craving something casual”

“Came here with my girlfriend as we are trying breakfast sandwiches in the area and I was pleasantly surprised. The sandwiches are the best we've had in the area. Everything was freshly made and with real ingredients. The bacon in particular was obviously just cooked for the order. The roll was fresh and everything was well seasoned. Overall, I highly recommend!”

“A very nice and cozy café with a limited but enough menu & a wired working hours! Food is not allowed in the library so you could sit, relax, and dine here (please 1) note that this café is not open to public, 2)check the working hours before you go there to buy food!!)???”

“Great food! Served quickly!!!!”

Appreciated the wine recommendation by our server. Our server, Rachel, was excellent. The birthday desserts were the hit of the dinner! Thank you Roots Ocean Prime for making the birthday celebration extra special!”

“I read about LaLa Lobster on Facebook. We decided to take ride today and check it out. It was very tasty, very tender and a great tasting roll. I had the Classic with warm butter..mmmmmmm so good. It just melted in your mouth. If you don't go there you are missing out. It is 100x's better than the food truck I can't find half the time. Good luck I will definitely be back!”

“As you can see from the photo everything was GREAT. (Couldn’t finish the burger cause we over ate, but definitely took that home.) we order the honey soy wings to start they were impeccably crispy and tasted amazing. Our main dishes were the Korean burger with sweet potato fries & the gochujang pasta. Wasn’t sure what to really expect from them but I’m glad I took the risk because it was probably the best meal I had all week haha. Our friend order some type of beef short rib dish on bed of mashed potatoes I believe that I tried and it was very decadent and if that’s your thing then you won’t be disappointed. To finish we ordered some boba teas to go and that was the perfect cherry on top to our meal. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. It was really refreshing to find a restaurant that was so consistent from the waiting staff to the final product. Thanks for giving us a lovely night. (Side note: It’s BYOB)”

“Christmas Tea! We loved it! Beautifully decorated!
It's great that they offer vegan and GF menu choices.
There's a cute shopping area in the front and an extensive list of tea to choose from. We do decaf so that list was smaller and we were able to make a decision quickly.
All staff were friendly and accomodating.
We had a tea that you can order daily which included the tea, half of a sandwich, scone with clotted cream & jam, chocolate truffle, and a macaron.
It was all delicious! We will be back!”

“We -‐- my whole family --- loves Tito's. Parents, grandparents and children all love this place. The food is fresh and delicious! We usually go for breakfast. The Omlettes, French Toast. Egg Sandwiches, etc, are all great.

The staff, especially the counter guys are friendly and helpful and usually remember your past order.

And, VERY important --- the coffee is excellent and they have old fashioned coffee mugs, in case you are sick of paper cups.”

“This is one of those rare places where you would chop off one of your fingers to have a location in your area. Please come to Philly! But seriously the Peruvian salad was so good, such amazing dressing and fresh lettuce, and likewise the salmon entrée was so good. Flavors on everything were sensational. Hard to believe this was at a takeout counter type of place.Amazingly healthy and even good dessert if you wanted to indulge afterwards.”

“I had 3 parties at this restaurant. Each time it was 16-18 group of people. Everyone I took there raved about the food. Their service, hospitality and atmosphere was excellent. Santiago and his team did an amazing job. Everything went without a single issue. I am going again this weekend with a few more people and looking forward to their service again. Thank you Santiago and team for your wonderful service and see you soon! This is a must try restaurant!!”

“Wonderful food wonderful service, all associates are friendly and fantastic people! Isabela and all the young people who work there are incredible! I come almost everyday day to enjoy the Peruvian chicken bowl and the pumpkin soup 🙌🏼🙈”

“We decided to stop in for some sandwiches after picking up our little girl some cat food from the same plaza. What a great treat this is. The sandwiches are delicious as well as the tomato bisques. The service was great too felt like family!!”
