“We had a wonderful dinner here. Great vibe, good drinks, fresh sea food and attentive service. Generous portions too...I am used to a scallops plate having 3-4 pieces. Mine came with 10!”
“Got my favorite lettuce wrap. I got it in Dallas, California and now in NJ. Different sauces but end result still satisfying. I enjoyed my “me” time! I got awesome Jola as my server!”
“Great food tuna and lamb chops are my favorite. Great outdoor seating in the summer was a little disappointed with upstairs back room used for meeting, a bit dark and dated.”
“Main courses were tasty and interesting. I had the lamb shank with white beans, both of which I loved and my husband had Trout (or branzino).The escargots were muddy, bitter and too garlicky compared to the european ones we tried in france. They were also not salted at all which makes them taste even more muddy.The leek soup though is a complete waste of time and calories. IMO I can make better soup at home. Take it of the menu please. It tasted like heavy cream with water and salt, with no interesting textures of flavors. You can drink it straight out of the cup. I could barely taste the leek.The famous potatoes with bacon also were so-so, very greasy but not in an appetizing way with strings of fried onion. Typical breakfast potato taste which you can get in any deli.”
“I'd heard good things about this place, but when I learned that it's a huge chain in India (145+ locations), I didn't expect much. Boy, was I wrong. The menu is huge and interesting, and everything was very well prepared. I just came back from a month in India, and the food here was as good or better than most of the meals we had there.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“A great place to come for breakfast in downtown Princeton. They have so many unique flavors of Crepes for all different palettes. Not only is the food amazing but the coffee, man the coffee is amazing as well. I've been to breakfast spots that usually only get the food right but no, this place has both sides covered! Make sure you try this place. The inside is amazing just a bit of a tight space when it gets crowded.”
“Had an excellent time here last Friday, and highly recommend to anyone looking for a quaint evening out with exceptional food. Admittedly my date and I were late for our reservation, but we were seated right away regardless of our tardiness.I had given my date two long stem roses, the staff took note and offered us a small vase and water to hold them while we dined, which was an excellent touch right off the bat. We started with the Zucchini Beauty, which was a fresh zucchini salad that was nicely dressed and offered a great start to the upcoming entre. I had the lamb shank, which was seasoned wonderfully, cooked to be succulent yet fall-off-the-bone tender, and paired excellently with the vermicelli and jus sauce. Afterwards, the Turkish Coffee was a nice jolt of flavor to round out the meal.The dining room is cozy, but does carry sound, and the other diners' conversations did make it hard to converse with my date due to the loudness, but you can't control that sort of thing unfortunately. Overall, we had a fantastic time at Aspendos, and look forward to returning soon!Dietary restrictions: Are happy to accommodate diners with selfish allergies and assure them of no cross contamination.”
“I thought this place would be another generic place that over charges. Everything about this place was spot on. My only complaint would be that they give you something small like a soup or small salad with your meal or entre. Other than that everything was great, food was amazing, staff were awesome.”

“I have loved this place for years. Finally came back today and it is still just as awesome as it has been since the last time I came in 2015. We got the rose with cookies and cream- absolutely incredible. Even the vanilla is amazing. Truly some of the best (if not the best) ice cream Ive ever had. And the ladies working were awesome- so kind and friendly. And the area is very nice too to walk around. Next time id love to try their cupcakes and cookies too- they looked delish!”
“For a chain, this is a surprisingly good place. The food is creative and tasty. Service and drinks are good. Nice atmosphere. It's become our standard place.”
“We had a wonderful dinner here. Great vibe, good drinks, fresh sea food and attentive service. Generous portions too...I am used to a scallops plate having 3-4 pieces. Mine came with 10!”
“Deeeelicious paella served by Jeesse! Stopped here on our way from New Hope, PA to NYC since we wanted to have paella. We researched and found this great corner place in Princeton, NJ! The food is reasonably priced, very tasty, and the portions are generous. You can bring your own booze if you choose. Glad we found it! Yum!”

“Vegetarian options: Everything on the menu is vegan. I’ve been vegetarian for 10+ years and went with two “flexitarians” (mostly meatless for 3+ years). We all loved our food. They have lots of naturally meat-free options as well as some “veganized” favorites. I’m still dreaming of their “chicken” salad days later…”
“Nice space. Outdoor backyard patio is wonderful to enjoy on a sunny day.Delicious popcorn chicken and edamame.(Only thing is I wish the popcorn chicken was missing some flavor - a little salt or five spice or chili powder would have been a nice touch)The women behind the counter was kind enough to offer my toddler a complimentary mango ice pop as well for our first visit!”
“We came here with a party of eight plus a 7 yr old child. The restaurant was clean and had something on the menu for everyone.The service was amazing. Jason was fantastic as well as the chef and his wife who's the co-owner.The food was flavorful and not over seasoned like what you'd find in chain restaurants. We ordered wings (extra crispy) for appetizers and we ended up ordering some to go-they were very good. The chef (Bishop) came out to say hello and he was so warm and delightful.This is a hidden gem and we'll definitely be coming back again soon!”

“I was born in Genoa and I miss my land every day. As well I miss the real Italian food. Thanks God Francesca and Le Kyosk exist!! Truly amazing Focaccia and all the sandwiches I’ve tried so far (I guess 5 different ones). The quality along with the kindness made me really feel at home.Thanks Le Kyosk Team!Vegetarian options: You can personalize your sandwich the way you want”
“This is my second visit to The Dinky Bar and Grill in Princeton which offers great views of the campus. We were going to see a play at McCarter and it is so convenient being across the street. The Dinky has an intimate vibe. Being the original Train Depot the feel of the place is still a train depot which I love. The menu is limited but certainly enough to choose from. There are shareable plates as well full entrees. Very good food and drinks. Our server Kayla was amazing. She needs to be recognized because she was extraordinary. A very busy place pre theater but Kayla never stopped smiling Great experience all around. Will definitely be going again.”
“Did an absolute amazing job and was super easy to work with Being deployed, I was able to easily coordinate with what kind of design and cake I wanted for my Daughters 4th birthday. Sweta made the communication process super easy and got back right away with each message. Not only did the cake come out awesome, but I was told it was delicious as well. My little princess day was made with the cake, and she thinks Daddy did it all. Thank you so much! Please support this small business, you will not be disappointed!”

“I was hosting a large internal dinner for my team of 43 people. A big dinner I know! I searched for a few places in princeton and stumbled upon elements. I made a reservation about a month in advance and communicated to their head of events about any changes that needed to be made. Upon arrival we were taken upstairs to one of their private areas. Our area had a front row view of the kitchen which I thought was super cool! Reminded me of Hell's Kitchen hahaha! We were seated and were immediately asked about drinks. Because we had a large group, everyone trickled in at different times. We honestly waited until about an hour to make orders. What I do wish happened during this time is that they'd pass the bread or some sort of sharable snack to eat. We then each ordered our 4 course meals ($89 each). Each course had a vegetarian/vegan option. I choose the Tuna Tartare to start, then the Rutabega, Kinpachi (fish), and I asked for fruit since I gave up sugar for lent. However, regardless of what you choose everyone started off with a sort of dumpling. Not sure what was in it, but it was delicious and a nice way to start us off on this food journey together. The food: 1. Tuna Tartare: This was delicious. Maybe my favorite thing in the menu. The staff recommended you eat it like a taco kinda, which I highly recommend! This had the right amount of flavors and kept me wanting more! Really started on a high note!! 2. Rutabaga: This was good. Kinda reminded me of a squash. Wasn't bad, but I kinda wish I got the squid. It's a little soupy, but delicious!! 3. Kanpachi: Now this was delicious! I wish it was a much bigger portion! I was so shocked how small it was. I was like this is it? For my entree? As I'm writing this i'm still hungry lol! But it was good, just not nearly enough! 4. Fruit: I gave up added sugar for lent, so I asked if there was anything else they could give me. They surprised me with fruit, which was delicious! You can't go wrong with fruit! Overall a really great find and a beautiful restaurant. Great service, but way too small of portions! Like give me a meal! I don't need to be stuffed, but I want to feel fed.”
“The energy, vibe, and service is unmatched. The bartenders (especially Henry) perform their jobs with passion and expertise. Along with charisma and personality. Every time I come to the bar I learn something new about a particular drink and where it originates or the historical relevance to the name or how it was made. The drinks are absolutely delicious and if you ask the bartenders to make you something custom based on your preferences then they will gladly do so. I highly recommended coming here for drinks at the bar or restaurant if you are by yourself, with friends, or on a date. The food is excellent and I have never been disappointed with anything that I have eaten after many visits to the bar for food and drinks.”
“Had a special birthday party here on a Saturday afternoon. Everything was fantastic! We brought a special birthday dessert from an outside buainess and the manager and waiter were extremely helpful and gracious with serving it. Very impressed and will definitely be back.”

“I dunno, the food was good- I love noodles, i love soup. However, the salads were weird- Pickled Lotus Root sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds is NOT a salad, guys. Very pretty but not a salad. Waiters and waitresses were super nice, not too loud and not too quiet (perfect) but THEY DON'T SERVE ALCOHOL so bring yer own, that was the only thing I didn't like about the place. Great location, downstairs from my favourite store in the universe. ?Wheelchair accessibility: If you believe that being pushed down the stairs and smashing through the glass doors counts as wheelchair accessibility, then yeah, they have it.”

“Our daughter wanted Greek food on her birthday--so we ordered food from here using Grubhub (Grubhub or Doordash do not cover another good local Greek restaurant here). It is slightly on the expensive side. The food came relatively soon. We ordered four dishes and each dish was very tasty. We would gladly order food from here or do a dine-in.”
“First time at this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was fabulous, and the service was right on. We never felt rushed as the courses were spread out appropriately. Prices are reasonable, especially for the area. I would recommend this restaurant for any occasion. We will definitely be back.”
“Olivia is always so warm, welcoming and accommodating. We visit each time we come to Princeton from Atlanta. She always remembers! Christian served us - wonderful. The meal is perpetually amazing. Thank you for your hospitality. See you in April! The Behls”
“It’s nice ambiance. There are quite some veg options there. I liked pineapple mojito and veg dumplings. They were out of coffees (latte/ cappuccino, etc) which I expected to have as the menu is already small. Overall quality and quantity is good. I had better Thai coconut curry before but it was good too.”
“Good comfort food. Friendly service.Good: vodka penne, chicken parm sandwich, chicken Marsala, tiramisuGreat: eggplant rollitini, truffle gnocchiBYOB - there is a wine store right next door”
“Dined here early solo at the bar on a very rainy Wednesday night. I was in town for business and a friend had recommended I try Agricola. I had a very nice experience, different, I'm guessing, from most folks who dine here as I was the only person eating at the bar. The bar is in the front of the restaurant, is appealing, and with a metal top and about 15 seats. I had a glass of Albariño, the chopped salad appetizer and the mushroom ravioli. Everything was very good, arrived promptly, was beautifully presented, and met or exceeded all expectations. If I am back in Princeton, I would definitely return, hopefully in a group, to get the full Agricola dining experience.”
“We had a beautiful and delicious night here! Our waitress Erin was so sweet and attentive. We really enjoyed every aspect of our meal, from the drinks to the appetizers to the meal and dessert. Nice atmosphere, great service and all around a nice night.”
“No-frills pub with a menu of classic American food & drinks + both bar and table sections I had a great experience when I came here with my GF and my friend. All of our food was delicious and the service was great. The portions were very large as well.”
“This is my first visit to Mediterra. The service was prompt and friendly. Our group of 5 was seated promptly in(lunchtime on Sunday). It was easy to have a conversation among our group without shouting. I ordered Apple Pancakes - the serving was large and delicious. The "twice baked" chocolate almond croissant was tasty. Others ordered sweet potato felafel and eggs benedict. Everyone in our group enjoyed their starters and entrees.”
“I need a quick sushi option for my wife because she just gave birth and the hospital was closing the doors at 9. I was able to order at 815 go pick up and be back with my wife by 850 enjoying the well-made and fresh sushi.”
“As a connoisseur of fine cuisine, I had the pleasure of experiencing the culinary delights offered by Dalhouse Princeton Catering, and I must say, it was an unforgettable gastronomic experience.From the moment I arrived at the event, the aroma of freshly prepared dishes tantalized my senses, promising a feast for both the palate and the soul. The presentation of the food was impeccable, with each dish meticulously arranged to appeal to both the eye and the appetite.”
“Always great, fresh dinner (or lunch) options for the family or guests when you don't have time for a lot of dinner prep! Love their sauces, soups and my kids won't eat any other brand of raviolis having grown up eating Lucy's for 10+ years. Salads are fresh, sandwiches - and they do a great job catering large and small orders as well.”

“My daughter has influenced my addiction to this spot and I’m in love!! They are so good… refreshing and filling! A little disappointed this visit because my bananas were a little brown and mushy.”
“Food is amazing at Godavari. We have been there several times with the friends and family. Neelima who works there is very helpful. From helping us to choose the best dishes in the restaurant her service is excellent. Every time we are there we always look for her. Great work ”

“After doing an a very important and impromptu weeklong survey of the area’s pastry shops while visiting Princeton, these are the best in town. I’m not sure why they never seem busy–the pastry is sensational”
“I came in the day after my bday and didn't know you got a free cake for bdays. Despite it being the day after, they still honored it. It was my first time going and the cakes were so delicious. Bought almost every flavor to try and me and my family loved them. Going back today, 6 months later and can't wait. The cashier was amazing and so pleasant. Highly recommended.”
“Delicious. Inspired Lillipies (little pies), pastries and breads. Jenn is a great baker! Lovely asset to the shopping center and Princeton! Jazz brunch on the weekends during warmer weather.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian savory Lillipies availableParking: Lots of parking at Princeton Shopping Center”
“A 30 year, small family owned business, that's a mixture of pizzeria and Italian restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Tonight, I stopped in for the first time and was cheerfully welcomed and felt right at home. The menu had a wonderful assortment of great looking entries. But I decided to try one of the specials, the very flavorful and savory Chicken with portobello mushrooms sun-dried, tomatoes, spinach, and mozzarella in a white wine sauce over penne ($23.95). Service was great with friendly and attentive staff. If you're in the Hillsboro, Princeton area, this is a must try. Dine in or takeout, I think you'll be impressed too. Follow me on yelp or on Insta @noodlesoupr. As I travel the world and search up the perfect bowl of noodle soup.”
“Use to go to this place for an expensive cauliflower shawarma back in the day. It's a good chain with gold shawarama options. Not the best shawaram I have had by any means, but this place is very good for lunch you can get balanced bowl with correct macros. It's one of my go to ”
“Love coming to this location because it has sandwiches vs just pastries and snacks at the Witherspoon location. The people are friendly and the vanilla latte is my go to. All the breakfast sandwiches were delicious. I’ve had the jersey driver, pile driver, ranchero burrito. The only downsides are that they don’t have any plates, so eating can get a little messy and there are only a few tables”
“I am in love with the design and idea of this cafe. They have one of the best working environments you could ask for along with one of the greatest cafes. They have a wide selection of coffees from espressos pulled from the one of a kind la marzocco machine, many varieties of drip coffee, and pour overs. They also have a wide variety of snacks available: all the best pastries imaginable to go with your coffee and even an acai bowl bar and amazing oatmeal bowls for those who haven't had a chance to have their breakfast yet =) My personal favorite is their spicy maya mocha. And theres an amazing barista there by the name of Karen, say hi if you see her ?Parking: Amazing parking availability, utilizes the many available free parking spots around the cafe and apartment complex area.”
“A great spot for baked goods and coffee, we've visited this location several times and found the staff to be friendly and helpful, and efficient at moving long lines through the facility. I greatly enjoyed their bakery products and mochas, and would recommend this location for food and coffee alike.”
“Stop at this restaurant while working in the Princeton area, it's really small inside but regardless food taste amazing and the price is also amazing for the quality you get.”
“Scheduled an early delivery for 6 pies near opening for all of my coworkers on my job-site. They were able to accommodate my order so close to opening and were punctual in their delivery as promised! The pizzas were piping hot and delicious highly recommend trying them out if you’re in the area!”
“I cannot recommend Sweet Gourmet highly enough! They went above and beyond to make my daughter's birthday extra special with custom cheetah cupcakes. Not only were the cupcakes visually stunning with intricate cheetah designs, but they tasted incredible. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients were evident in every bite. The team at Sweet Gourmet was incredibly professional, accommodating, and talented. They truly exceeded my expectations and made the entire process seamless from start to finish. If you're looking for delicious treats and exceptional service, look no further than Sweet Gourmet!”

“We would like to thank Manager, George Simann, for a wonderful dining experience yesterday afternoon. On a very busy St. Patrick's Day, there was a problem with the dinner I ordered. Mr. Simann came to our table to offer apologies, give an explanation and offer a remedy. Well done! We all enjoyed our dinner and were very impressed with the level of service. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of our waiter but he was professional, friendly and attentive as well. We will be back.”
“Good brick oven pizza with nice ambiance and friendly serviceVegetarian options: Margherita, Vegan Margherita, Sassy Vegan, Nutella Pizza.Sassy Vegan pizza comes without cheese and it is very spicy, we can ask cheese to be added to it if we dont need it to be veganParking: This place is located inside Princeton Shopping Center with plenty of free parkingKid-friendliness: Kids love the Margherita pizza and Nutella Pizza hereWheelchair accessibility: Accessible parking is available. And there are no steps to reach restaurant floor from parking. It is accessible by wheel chair”

“Very cold boring. Almost dingy inside but that’s fine. No fault of staff. That’s my fault of Burger King and not updating or franchise owners whichever!Rain for the last week doesn’t help much either other than that it’s was all good! ”

“The best place to get lunch during the work day!! The chipotle chicken wrap with crispy chicken is my favorite. The staff is super friendly. Great for catering large lunches and events as well!”
“My go to place! Elijah at the Princeton Market fair location by the AMC Movie Theater is fantastic! He knows and remembers me, my usual order and makes it right. Hope your give him a raise!Vegetarian options: Am vegan, not vegetarian but you can order vegan and vegetarian easy!”
“Best-value and best tasting coffee offered around campus/town - an important accolade when even the campus-run outlets are draining bank accounts for very basic offerings. Important for new or unfamiliar campus staff to know that all are welcome, even though it is in the basement of the "Campus Club" building.”
“First time going to this location since it just opened up. I went with my family in the afternoon. The lady who worked there/assisted us was extremely helpful and super nice. It was a pleasant experience. We all got vanilla & chocolate custard in a waffle cone. So yummy!! Will definitely be coming back to this location.”
“I'm from Buffalo. Nowhere else to go for solid wings around here. Good prices, great burgers and other fattening foods like Mac and Cheese bites as well. Tasty hole in the wall. De'Angelos across the street is also excellent and classier fare.Please, for the love of God, don’t go to Buffalo Wild Wings. Wings must be bone-in, skin-on, not breaded, deep fried to a crisp, and slathered with Frank’s with maybe some butter, salt, and pepper. Or a dry rub.”
“The service was absolutely great. the server was wonderful and pleasant.Parking: The parking wasn't a problemKid-friendliness: My son was given what was ordered without a problem.”
“At the first moment you step in that restaurant they give you an excellent feeling. Very friendly team, it is a kind place to go out with your friends or with your date. Great cuisine, skillful chef, decent cost and professional service. Highly recommended.”
“I love this little Cafe, with their made to order breakfasts and smoothies . Breakfast bowl is da bomb, in the best way possible.Wheelchair accessibility: It is just inside a fitness facility, with automatic doors.”
“I loved the green monster juice. It was expensive but good. By California or Los Angeles standards, this juice bar is just fine, but they could not charge nearly this much because there are much nice juice bar chains that use organic fresh produce every few blocks or so. However in Princeton, they have no competition and are the best juice bar.”
“We've been coming to Jules for years and we love ordering tons of different slices to try! Jules pizza is definitely *not* your "traditional" pie. They're almost like a flatbread, not Jersey pie. If you like thin, crispy, crust, this is your place. Food: every pie pictured was delicious. The highlights were the honey sriracha and Kim's pie for sure. In the past we've also gotten the margherita, potato carbonara, and meat lovers which are all favorites! Ambiance: this is a very casual spot with a few tables inside. It's definitely a smaller place but a great place to sit for a quick bite after walking around downtown. Service: the people at the counter were very nice. They only have 1 conveyer belt oven for heating, so when people order a lot of slices and it's busy, you could be waiting a decent amount of time for your slices. Overall, we'll continue to visit Jules whenever we're in Princeton!”
“Best Italian market and sandwich in Princeton. I ordered a prosciutto and mozzarella sandwhich and it was outstanding (I forgot the name but it is on the board). Topped off with hot espresso and mini cannoli. When the moon hits your eye......”
“Overall experience was on par. Atmosphere is really nice and it’s a good environment to hangout with friends and even do some studying. Although some people say the matcha flavor is weak I find it the perfect amount. Boba is not consistent, some times it taste old and it never has the same consistency.They also have a table by the window that is broken, I bumped into the table with my drink on top, and it almost fell to the ground. Hopefully they fixed itBut if you are around the area, I would definitely give the place a try!”
“I was really happy they had free coffee and water. A bit tight for sitting area but still good.My reuben melt was $12. The sandwich was very good but not amazing. Maybe the beef was less than stellar or I don’t like reubens that much? Great service.I will be back.”
“Love it!!! Food is all fresh, always delicious. I have eaten all different types of food from this company, and all are delicious. I keep coming back for more. The owner is so friendly and easy to get along with. If you are in need of catering you NEED to call Gallery Cafe!!!”
“The Lumberville General Store is a home-style restaurant and cafe that offers quiet living rooms for study and conversation, while also meeting your caffeine and savory needs. The cafe actually offers more than most coffee shops. You'll find soups, salads, breads, sandwiches, and desserts. Prices are on the steeper end so it's not the best for college students. The rooms are very peaceful and have a tasteful ambience. I'd recommend coming here for business meetings, dates, and other classy gatherings.”

“It’s nice ambiance. There are quite some veg options there. I liked pineapple mojito and veg dumplings. They were out of coffees (latte/ cappuccino, etc) which I expected to have as the menu is already small. Overall quality and quantity is good. I had better Thai coconut curry before but it was good too.”

“Good comfort food. Friendly service.Good: vodka penne, chicken parm sandwich, chicken Marsala, tiramisuGreat: eggplant rollitini, truffle gnocchiBYOB - there is a wine store right next door”
“Dined here early solo at the bar on a very rainy Wednesday night. I was in town for business and a friend had recommended I try Agricola. I had a very nice experience, different, I'm guessing, from most folks who dine here as I was the only person eating at the bar. The bar is in the front of the restaurant, is appealing, and with a metal top and about 15 seats. I had a glass of Albariño, the chopped salad appetizer and the mushroom ravioli. Everything was very good, arrived promptly, was beautifully presented, and met or exceeded all expectations. If I am back in Princeton, I would definitely return, hopefully in a group, to get the full Agricola dining experience.”

“I absolutely love Tacoria as a chain and the Princeton location is always the best. They do get crowded for dine in - between prepared to snag a table. The salad with the pollo asada (grilled chicken marinated in habanero sauce) is delicious. The pineapple dressing I could drink by the gallon. The agua Fresca drinks are flavorful and yummy. Love the self serve hot sauce bar. The pico and chips are delicious.”
“No-frills pub with a menu of classic American food & drinks + both bar and table sections I had a great experience when I came here with my GF and my friend. All of our food was delicious and the service was great. The portions were very large as well.”
“My first drink at the bar was perfect(old fashioned) second one wasn't mixed. All the sweet stuff on the bottom. Lots of ice so it was hard to mix it. Other than that my experience was great.”

Local Q
“The food was very good and beautifully plated. A bit expensive compared to some other area Greek restaurants but worth it. No bar but you can buy a local winery's offerings by the glass or bottle. I suppose you can bring your own alcohol, but I don't know that for sure. Modem and clean decor and friendly service”

“We would like to thank Manager, George Simann, for a wonderful dining experience yesterday afternoon. On a very busy St. Patrick's Day, there was a problem with the dinner I ordered. Mr. Simann came to our table to offer apologies, give an explanation and offer a remedy. Well done! We all enjoyed our dinner and were very impressed with the level of service. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of our waiter but he was professional, friendly and attentive as well. We will be back.”
“Overall experience was on par. Atmosphere is really nice and it’s a good environment to hangout with friends and even do some studying. Although some people say the matcha flavor is weak I find it the perfect amount. Boba is not consistent, some times it taste old and it never has the same consistency.They also have a table by the window that is broken, I bumped into the table with my drink on top, and it almost fell to the ground. Hopefully they fixed itBut if you are around the area, I would definitely give the place a try!”

The food is reasonably priced, very tasty, and the portions are generous. You can bring your own booze if you choose. Glad we found it! Yum!”

“Not my best experience at I high end steak house. The shrimp cocktail was excellent and the. lobster bisque was ok. Several of the steaks were overcooked. I expect more from this type of establishment.”
“This is my first visit to Mediterra. The service was prompt and friendly. Our group of 5 was seated promptly in(lunchtime on Sunday). It was easy to have a conversation among our group without shouting. I ordered Apple Pancakes - the serving was large and delicious. The "twice baked" chocolate almond croissant was tasty. Others ordered sweet potato felafel and eggs benedict. Everyone in our group enjoyed their starters and entrees.”
“An American barbecue franchise restaurant, famous by their barbecue. We've had such a great impression since we've got the place: the attendant was so nice us the whole time, the place was so clean and the food looked so good! We've ordered a combo for 2 people and it was more than enough. We've had the brisket and the pulled pork, with mac'n cheese - all of them tasted really good. And their price is so good: only 42 USD for all of that and 2 sodas.”
“I LOVE MAMAN PRINCETON! I come here almost every week after my yoga class and stuff my face. Their food is amazing; I recommend the tartine au saumon, the Raquel’s Caesar salad, the kouign maman & the nutty chocolate chip cookie. Matcha lattes are also delish! The chef Alex is so talented, everyone is kind and helpful, and they’re accommodating about minor substitutions. Shout out to Sam the manager and Anibál. Thank you for making my weekends brighter! :)”
“Mango Tango: great. Refreshing with the rim crsuted with sugarFirecracker Stuffed Jalapeños: Great. Would eat again. Crispy & thin crusts, with cheese & chicken stuffing inside. Would recommend this to anyone who can handle spice.Signature queso: great. You won't regret if you upgrade to a bowl size for extra $2Gran Papi: a good sampler dish. Loved their empanada, crispy ground beef taco. Their rice felt undercooked.Strawberry cheesecake chimis: great. Sweet, hot, and satisfying.Overall great food with great price. Can be a bit loud as the place sells drinks. Would return here for the jalapeño poppers and strawberry chimis. Our server was very attentive and helpful.Vegetarian options: Their chips are corn tortillas but some menus come with flour tortillas. Menus are not clearly specified if they're GF or not and you need to ask for clarification. They would make a menu GF for you but cannot guarantee it'll taste as good”
“My go to place! Elijah at the Princeton Market fair location by the AMC Movie Theater is fantastic! He knows and remembers me, my usual order and makes it right. Hope your give him a raise!Vegetarian options: Am vegan, not vegetarian but you can order vegan and vegetarian easy!”
“Food is amazing at Godavari. We have been there several times with the friends and family. Neelima who works there is very helpful. From helping us to choose the best dishes in the restaurant her service is excellent. Every time we are there we always look for her. Great work ”
“Always a fun watering hole in downtown Princeton. Haven't eaten here yet, but the wings smelled awesome. Friendly service high energy atmosphere. A hit with locals. A&B is always on our list when in town.”
“I loved the green monster juice. It was expensive but good. By California or Los Angeles standards, this juice bar is just fine, but they could not charge nearly this much because there are much nice juice bar chains that use organic fresh produce every few blocks or so. However in Princeton, they have no competition and are the best juice bar.”
“I need a quick sushi option for my wife because she just gave birth and the hospital was closing the doors at 9. I was able to order at 815 go pick up and be back with my wife by 850 enjoying the well-made and fresh sushi.”
“I have loved this place for years. Finally came back today and it is still just as awesome as it has been since the last time I came in 2015. We got the rose with cookies and cream- absolutely incredible. Even the vanilla is amazing. Truly some of the best (if not the best) ice cream Ive ever had. And the ladies working were awesome- so kind and friendly. And the area is very nice too to walk around. Next time id love to try their cupcakes and cookies too- they looked delish!”
“Theresa’s has been a favorite in town restaurant for our family for many years. Whenever we dine at Theresa’s, and she is working, we request to sit in her section. Sometimes, we have waited additional time just to have her as our server. She is the most knowledgeable, competent and courteous waitress I have ever had as a server in any restaurant in which I have dined. Theresa is attentive and observant. She is the best of the best!”
“First of all, the music makes you think of a tropical country even though it's the middle of winter! This is so unbalanced and good. Even though it was cold, I felt a little hot. The three appetizer dishes were also delicious. In particular, the fried shrimp ranks among the best I've eaten in America. The sauce was also nice. The main meat was perfectly grilled and I was able to enjoy everything deliciously. The pineapple non-alcoholic cocktail was also good. The staff's smile was also cute. I want to go again!”
“Nice luxury diner vibe, and excellent service, but like everything in Princeton, prices are over the top. A plate of macaroni is $23, and the chicken and waffles are $27. Fine dining prices, with more casual dining experience.$33 for one person with tip but no sides and drink.Update: a single chocolate chip pancake was only $4. And it was incredibly soft milky and rich. I do wish they had malted milkshakes. Any diner should. Despite being so busy on Sunday noontime that I barely got a seat at the bar, I got my food in less than 15 minutes. Fast service.”
“Vegetarian options: Everything on the menu is vegan. I’ve been vegetarian for 10+ years and went with two “flexitarians” (mostly meatless for 3+ years). We all loved our food. They have lots of naturally meat-free options as well as some “veganized” favorites. I’m still dreaming of their “chicken” salad days later…”

“I'm writing this review as I'm still sitting here at the cafe, because it's just so nice. I've been to their first location on Nassau street a few times but have avoided going as of late because it's always just so busy, crowded and truthfully, a little impersonal feeling. I just found out they opened a second location last night, so needless to say, I came right away. The location is a little hard to find from the outside, but I went through homestead to try and figure it out and found there was a door between the two stores. They do also have their own entrance. I picked up a bag of beans, a croissant and an americano, and the americano was on the house, I'm assuming with the purchase of the beans. My drink was so smooth that I had to ask what beans they use and it's their house espresso blend. I ended up getting their single origin Burundi, a light roast leaning towards medium, I was told, because I only do drip and pour over at home. The space is minimalist, open, and has lots of small seating. Patrons were very respectful and kept conversations low, so it was a really nice spot just to chill out.”
