Aspendos Mediterranean Cuisine

To keep it short and sweet, the interior and plating were great, but the food was bland and just unimpressive for the relatively high prices. The staff seemed to struggle to keep a smile on their face and seemed like they want to go home. I will not be coming back a second time. I will say I enjoyed the tomato salad though.

This is a great restaurant for a cute date night or a large party. The ambiance is amazing with gentle music and mood lighting. The Food is amazing the perfect flavor and texture of every dish I've tried. The staff is friendly and inviting. My favorite dishes include the Branzino, the Oxtail, and their Broccoli soup, and the Chef's Rolled Baklava is a must try!

Kid-friendliness: The staff are great with children! I always feel comfortable dining with my son who is 1 year old.

The mushroom potato dish was really delicious but the other items we ordered were a little bland/unremarkable. We tried basically all the vegan items on the menu including the roasted eggplant, zucchini, and hummus (all mid for the price). The complimentary balloon bread was also one of the best dishes but it was mislabeled as vegan on menu despite coming with cheese fyi

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant and cannot recommend it to anyone. The service was terrible—our server was pretentious and never bothered to check if we needed anything or if our meal was satisfactory. We even had to grab utensils from a neighboring table ourselves. When we asked for a to-go box, the server was unwilling to provide a proper one.

The food was another letdown—excessively fatty, and to top it off, there were flies buzzing around throughout the meal. The atmosphere and service certainly did not justify the high prices. Overall, it was a very unpleasant dining experience.

So rare to find a halal place that's on the fancier side! Aspendos was a real treat

The food was pretty good - really enjoyed the balloon bread, but many of the appetizers need bread to go with it and we had to pay around 3 dollars extra for each bread. The bread should be included with the appetizers that require bread like hummus.

Service was not good, we had to call the waitress everytime we needed something, there was no friendliness and we felt neglected. There was also a 20% service charge automatically added to the bill for a party of 3 that we did not think they deserved. We should be able to choose based on how we thought our service was.

The atmosphere was so loud we could not hear the people sitting across and next to us. On top of that they were playing music. They should be able to control this.

We loved our experience, the ambiance was excellent, music carefully coordinated, food was excellent and the presentation made it even better. All the wait staff were friendly and responsive.

It was our first time there and we will definitely be going back. The food was excellent and service outstanding. The ambience/decor was well done with quality in mind. We shared appetizers, Hummus with Pastrami and Sakshouka, and entrees, Margarita flatbread and Çengelli Taş Mix Grill. Everything was delicious with freshness in every bite. They have many more dishes that we will be trying in the near future. Great addition to the Princeton area dining.

Its a great restaurant! The dishes are not only delicious but also beautifully presented - each plate is like a work of art Fresh vibrant salads, perfect bomb bread ! You can really taste the quality of the ingredients in every dish The service was top, very friendly and attentive staff that made sure we had everything we needed and did great suggestions for the menu

Pros: good quality food, excellent service, great atmosphere. Cons: pricey
