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!!”

Metro North 378 Alexander St, Princeton Italian • $$

“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.”

“On an recommendation from one of my known friend, ordered the food for an major event and it was very good among which Live Tandoor station was a big hit where guests enjoyed different varieties of Non-Veg and Veg kebabs made of authentic home made spices I believe with a smoky flavor which gave an extra add-on to the starters.
To the whole I say that, the event was 100% successful and all my friends and other guests loved the food A - Z which Shimla management provided with entrees, main course and desserts etc.
So, I truly recommend this to other people when asks and hope this Shimla catering services continues the same ambience and hospitality and would always be going to be my straight to go place for all my future events.
All the best @Shimla Catering for all your future endeavors and grow big…!!!”

Restaurants with Delivery

The Bent Spoon 35 Palmer Square W, Princeton Ice Cream Shop • $

“Hot chocolate reminds me of Paris, just twice the size as Americans are used to....but amazing and rich. Toasted marshmallows are totally worth the cost so definitely get them if hot chocolate is your order. Most of the ice creams are great though I found the dark chocolate to be far less worthwhile than other flavors.

Dietary restrictions: Vegan options yes, other restrictions uncertain

Parking: Metered spots on the surrounding streets but will often be difficult to find a spot, especially within a block

Kid-friendliness: Don't expect a stroller to fit inside or to sit and eat with a child. Definitely a get and go place”

“Everything here is great. The vibes, food, drinks, and desserts are all amazing. I only got a drink and a dessert, but there were plenty of other excellent options. Their passion fruit green tea was so refreshing and captured the passion fruit taste. I also got their creme brulee mille crepe (the employees were kind enough to suggest their favorites). It was extremely good and sweet. Although the creme brulee aspect wasn't the best (sugar wasn't completely melted), the crepes taste made up for it. I was able to study there and have a great snack. I am definitely coming back to try their other desserts and delicious foods!”

“Great quality, well presented food in an upscale, but unassuming environment. Perfect for lunch with friends, colleagues, or a date night!

As a vegan, the variety of dishes to choose from was a relative rarity and greatly appreciated! I had the sweet potato and bean chilli which was really tasty, well balanced, gorgeously presented, hearty - the perfect dish for autumn. The plant based dishes were so well designed that my colleagues, both of whom eat meat, opted for vegan meals too!

The farm to table concept is fabulous and the quality of ingredients is noticeable on the first bite. Each staff member we had the pleasure of interacting with was lovely, and the service was excellent throughout.

Thank you Agricola team!”

“This bar does a great job of offering good drinks and food, making it a nice place to hang out. The beer list was awesome, and I really liked the fruited sour with its sweet berry taste. The French onion soup was tasty too, with the cheese all stretchy and the bread perfectly soaked so every bite had the right mix.

The staff were quick and friendly, but the bar was pretty crowded, and I had to sit near some loud coworkers, which wasn’t the best. Still, the place had a cool vibe overall.

The old-school decorations and the classic Princeton feel made it fun to be there. Even though the seating was tight, the good drinks and food make this bar worth checking out.”

Our server was prompt to the table, gave us time to decide, and brought water. And so it went, no complaints. Pizza is no longer a cheap meal, so no problem with the prices, which are reasonable. The pies, well, they are a tasty, flavorful meal, with crust done perfectly. One of our party ordered an arugula salad, which he devoured. The Nutella desert pizza was not that impressive, but it did seem to disappear. Cheers!”

“Until yesterday, my favorite pizzeria was the one by my house in Linden NJ. Pizza Village Cafe III. My best friend took me to Alfonso’s with my husband yesterday May 6, 2024. She’s a regular customer. Boy has she made a great recommendation! The spaghetti with mushrooms was excellent. My husband had a meatball sub. He loved it. The server was very attentive, talkative and very nice. Even the appetizer bread was fresh. I also had a salad that came with it. The prices were decent. The restaurant was no frills on the exterior but beautiful inside. The music I didn’t like as it was way before my time but was good quality for an Italian restaurant. My husband was on salt and fluid restriction due to heart failure. The salt content in William’s food was moderate and satisfactory. They measured his soda for me so I can record it. Definitely 5 stars! My new favorite! Heck it even beat the legendary Spirito’s of Elizabeth NJ! Looking forward to next time I visit my best friend. I’ll ask to return to Alfonso’s!”

“I've driven past this place plenty of times but only recently did I discover it. After seeing the reviews and all the critical acclaim, I decided to go ahead and see what the hype was about, and I was not disappointed. This is honestly a fantastic, lowkey, hidden gem of a coffee shop in the Princeton area. It was quiet, not busy at all, and the barista was super sweet and hospitable! There's plenty of good options of coffee to choose from, as well as tea, acai, and other snacks. I got the Hot Spicy Maya Mocha, and it was great. A super nice blend of coffee, chocolate, and creaminess. Every sip was blissful and delicious! Most coffee is just okay, but this coffee truly made my soul feel warm and cozy. I'm definitely coming back more times in the future! People who live in the neighborhood/community that this coffee shop is located in are really lucky to be walking distance from what is probably the best coffee I've had in Princeton! If you ever frequent Princeton Junction, or regularly commute to the train station, I highly recommend you stop by!”

The farm to table concept is fabulous and the quality of ingredients is noticeable on the first bite. Each staff member we had the pleasure of interacting with was lovely, and the service was excellent throughout.

Thank you Agricola team!”

Winberie's Restaurant & Bar 1 Palmer Square W, Princeton American • $$

“This bar does a great job of offering good drinks and food, making it a nice place to hang out. The beer list was awesome, and I really liked the fruited sour with its sweet berry taste. The French onion soup was tasty too, with the cheese all stretchy and the bread perfectly soaked so every bite had the right mix.

The staff were quick and friendly, but the bar was pretty crowded, and I had to sit near some loud coworkers, which wasn’t the best. Still, the place had a cool vibe overall.

The old-school decorations and the classic Princeton feel made it fun to be there. Even though the seating was tight, the good drinks and food make this bar worth checking out.”

Salt Creek Grille 1 Rockingham Row, Princeton Steak House • $$$

“Great service and food quality
Being there many times looking forward to continue. But this Saturday January 8, 2022 as I unfold the utensils the fabric napkin had an used band-aid stuck to it. Not a good sign for a nice restaurant. Don't lower your standards. I didn't make any noise but other customers rest assured they might have. I gave the napkin to the waitress at my table and that was it.
Hope next time I go no surprise.

Still good food and friendly environment still recommend we all humans after all”

Metro North 378 Alexander St, Princeton Italian • $$

“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.”

“Everything here is great. The vibes, food, drinks, and desserts are all amazing. I only got a drink and a dessert, but there were plenty of other excellent options. Their passion fruit green tea was so refreshing and captured the passion fruit taste. I also got their creme brulee mille crepe (the employees were kind enough to suggest their favorites). It was extremely good and sweet. Although the creme brulee aspect wasn't the best (sugar wasn't completely melted), the crepes taste made up for it. I was able to study there and have a great snack. I am definitely coming back to try their other desserts and delicious foods!”

The Bent Spoon 35 Palmer Square W, Princeton Ice Cream Shop • $

“Hot chocolate reminds me of Paris, just twice the size as Americans are used to....but amazing and rich. Toasted marshmallows are totally worth the cost so definitely get them if hot chocolate is your order. Most of the ice creams are great though I found the dark chocolate to be far less worthwhile than other flavors.

Dietary restrictions: Vegan options yes, other restrictions uncertain

Parking: Metered spots on the surrounding streets but will often be difficult to find a spot, especially within a block

Kid-friendliness: Don't expect a stroller to fit inside or to sit and eat with a child. Definitely a get and go place”

I got a burrito box w/ chorizo and added guac, Brussels sprouts & chipotle aioli. Oh my goodness. Delicious! Those brussels were way tasty. Then a bag of chips too. The chips had a hint of lime and lightly salted, so good. Better than chipotles. The bowl was huge; couldn’t finish which made for a great dinner. Can’t wait to come back and keep trying different meats!!”

Mamoun's Falafel 20 Witherspoon St, Princeton Mediterranean • $

“I order the chicken kebob plate from Mamoun's on a regular basis and absolutely love the dish. It has high quality grilled chicken breast, seasoned rice that compliments the chicken perfectly, a side of Pita bread, and some tahineh sauce that I love to dip the pita into and mix in with the chicken and rice. It is consistently delicious and prepared in a timely fashion. Plus, it is one of the few restaurant dishes I can eat that doesn't irritate my sensitive stomach. I highly recommend Mamoun's to anyone looking for great Mediterranean food!”

“I recently visited this place, and I have to say, it’s truly a hidden gem when it comes to pancakes! Although I come to Princeton often, this was my first time here, and I’m so glad I finally made it. It was already 8:30 PM when I arrived, so I decided to keep it simple and ordered just pancakes. However, I was amazed by the sheer variety they offer — so many different types of pancakes to choose from!

I ended up ordering two kinds: the plain pancakes and the coconut banana rum pancakes. Let me tell you, both were absolutely delicious. The plain pancakes were perfect on their own — fluffy, light, and just the right amount of sweetness. But the coconut banana rum pancakes were truly exceptional! The flavors blended together so well, with the coconut adding a nice tropical touch, the banana providing a bit of natural sweetness, and the rum giving it a unique twist. It was a perfect combination.

The service was also great. Our server was friendly, polite, and attentive, which made the experience even better. I will definitely be coming back, not only to enjoy those amazing pancakes again but also to try the many other varieties they have on the menu. This place is now on my must-visit list every time I’m in Princeton!”
