“The best of the best. Everything on the menu is fantastic, but I’ve never been able to find a comparable chicken koobideh (ground chicken kebab.) It’s juicy, spiced beautifully, and absolutely delicious.My wife and I make an hour and fifteen minute drive whenever we can to partake, and you better believe we place an extra order to go for lunch the next day. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to some delectable Persian cuisine!“
“I am new to Persian Food. We plan to go to Parisa East. After reading the review, we learned about your place based on Omid's recommendations. We follow that and we really enjoy your food, your service and your food quality. (Read what Omid told Jim who reviewed his restaurant). Ambiance is average.“
“The food is absolutely amazing and so fresh. It is hands down one of the most satisfying meals I’ve had in a while. We got the Shepard’s Salad, Lentil Soup and Chicken Shish. The flavors were all there and equally as comforting. Service was spectacular. They handled my allergies well and were so kind and hospitable.“
“Named one of the top 50 places to eat in North Jersey in 2023, this family-owned establishment, named after the owner’s sister, offers Mediterranean cuisine and much more. I came to this Taste the Top like a Yelp Elite event today thanks to Sarah and her team. Located in Wayne off of Valley Road, Jackie Small is a bright, comfortable, and cozy eatery with 13 two-seater tables open during breakfast and lunch. There was no wait upon entering and being greeted by the staff, Hector. Their menu, inspired by traditional Middle Eastern recipes, is vast, featuring their popular shawarma grain bowl, Greek salad, as well as French toast, avocado toast, grilled cheese, blueberry pancakes, veggie bowls, BLT's, etc. It's first come, first served, as one orders at the counter, has a seat, and they'll deliver your food to your table. I decided on Smalls Scramble consisting of 3 eggs soft-scrambled, Gruyere cheese, roasted tomatoes, truffle home fries, and multi-grain toast. To wash it down, I went for the Mango Supreme smoothie (mango nectar, strawberry, banana, honey, and pineapple). The food was perfect—great portions and very good quality. The smoothie was delicious and refreshing. This place checked all the boxes, which I can recommend.“
“I read the reviews for this restaurant on Yelp and that's what got me here. Hopefully, my review will do the same for you. This restaurant is perfect for meeting up with friends to have a very nice, casual, reasonably priced, excellent meal. We had delicious hummus (as good as hummus you eat in the Middle East) as an appetizer, served with small triangles of wonderful, warm pita. For the main course, I had the special, quinoa salad with sweet potatoes, feta and other veggies - delicious! My friend, a personal chef, also ordered a special - the hummus bowl with Brussel sprouts. She enjoyed her food as much as I did and was impressed with Bella's Kitchen food presentation. We will be back.“
“Absolutely a must to dine in. Food is amazing the presentation perfect. Waiter and waitress were so helpful and kind. My wife and I highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Eggplant appetizer was amazing. The falafel was right on with delicious humus“
“Zaffron Bloom in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ, is a delightful addition to the culinary scene, offering a fusion of Modern Persian Cuisine with Middle-terranean influence. Helmed by Chef Shahin, whose years of catering experience have culminated in the realization of her dream restaurant, Zaffron Bloom promises a unique dining experience. The restaurant's namesake spice, saffron, is aptly celebrated for its rich history, cultural significance, and exquisite flavor profile.During our lunch visit, we were treated to a delicious meal that surpassed our expectations. The service was impeccable, exceeding the standard. Our decision to dine at Zaffron Bloom was influenced by a friend's glowing recommendation, and we're thrilled to have discovered this gem. Zaffron Bloom truly embodies the essence of "the spice of life" with its innovative approach to traditional Persian cuisine. Deliciousness!! To all Yelpers.... Guys we have to support small local business. It's more important than you can imagine especially during these times. Give them a try, we're sure you'll enjoy it. Be on the lookout... a little insider info, they'll soon be opening a market adjacent to Zaffron. Good luck with all and future ventures. @vinopotato.“
“Best thing to happen to this food strip in AGES!Fresh ingredients and tasty recipes. The price is appropriate for the type of food you're getting, but even more so-the portion sizes and flavor are top notch. We've already stoped in multiple times so here are some of our take aways :-dolmades: honestly, the best l've ever had. And I try them EVERYWHERE. Not cheaply portions either - solid roll and you get 5 in an order. WORTH IT.-pita chips: clearly homemade and SO delicious. They're softer than the ones people are used to getting, but firm enough to really hold some hummusBowl/Wrap ingredients :BASES-med couscous: light and fluffy, not porridge-esque-warm garbanzo beans: Held their integrity during cooking so you're greeted with big pillows of seasoned goodness-farmers mix: more than just Romaine-reminiscent of a garden mix (arugula, kale, etc)SPREADS-zesty Feta: no words can do this justice. Chunky and full of love-roasted eggplant hummus: brought an almost Smokey flavor as opposed to regular hummus-Kalamata olive hummus: recommended by the young man making my dish and WOW so glad he did. I'm not a huuuuuuge olive fan and this was just a nice essence of kalamatas. I was afraid it would be too potent and take over the dish. QUITE THE OPPOSITE! Will never look back from other options!-tzatzki: mild flavor and perfect accompaniment to anything it touchesPROTEINFirst off, they offer the most GENEROUS protein portions.You 'get 2' so they let you do a full scoop of one and a full scoop of the other. Falafel is about 4 balls per serving so you can mix and match with another protein-Moroccan steak : nice sized slices/bits of spiced meat-lemon chicken: you can taste the citrus without it being overpowering. Also in nice sized pieces-chicken shawarma: insta classic ! The meat is almost buttery it's cooked so well-falafel: my personal favorite. You can taste how fresh they are ! No dryness here! Great Big Crunch surrounding a little pillow of happiness. And if you choose this as your protein, be prepared to be AMAZED at how much you get!TOPPINGSUnlike other stores of this kind, the toppings bar is unlimited!!! And that doesn't speak to the quality of the ingredients. Again, everything is so fresh and taken care of properly.Most of this part is self explanatory so I'll just touch on the parts we found interesting:-chickpea croutons: not nearly as hard as expected to be so that was a plus. The shell has a crisp but you won't worry about breaking a tooth-dolmades : if you're afraid to commit to a full order, here's your chance to try it ! You won't be disappointed-tabbouleh : such a lovely addition to the meal you just created. Adds flavor with the mint/parsley/onion heavenly goodness-cabbage: tried both the white and red at different times and both were tasty. Felt that the white took in more of the flavor around the dish while the red just added crunchDRESSINGS-any tahini option is the right answer. If you're not familiar with the taste of tahini to begin with (earthy if you will), then I would recommend a flavored one-roasted red pepper tahini: a gift from above ! There is a slight sweet yet smokey flavor that wraps everything together-garlic jalapeño tahini: not as spicy as you'd imagine so it just gives a nice lil zest to your dish-lemon & olive oil : depending on what you put in your order, this will help with overall texture. If you opted out of wet stuff (tomatoes, lettuce, etc) this is your choice !Lastly,The Earth Burger: like a big ole falafel and WOW did not disappoint. Maintained the integrity of the falafel (crispy outside, soft inside) while giving you the satisfying big bite you're looking for. Only complaint is since it is such a hearty size, maybe a size of tahini or tatziki should accompany it. But if you ask, they’ll give you a side !!Basically, this is a great asset to the area.Kind staff, smiling faces, clean sitting area and portion sizes that will have you stuffed all day!Their in house lemonade is the BEST !“
“Amazing food, ambiance and service. The sampler of humus, labne-beets, babanush is unique. The trio sampler of lamb, chicken and shrimps was tender, flavoured and delicious! For that platter, a bit more sides would be better. Regarding the desert the goat milk ice cream was simply amazing!!Value for money. Highly recommended-“
Mediterranean • $$
“Comfortable, casual, but classy atmosphere. The service was very friendly and happy to explain any dishes that we weren't familiar with. The food was amazing! I wish I took more photos. We started with the babaganoush and tablouli salad. My husband had the lamb kebab and I had the chicken kofte. Everything was so flavorful and tender. I have no idea how to spell the dessert we shared, but it was like a non-crunchy creme brulee. SO GOOD, light and refreshing. Highly recommend this place.“
“My mom and I have drove past this place for years and kept saying that one day we'll stop by and check it out. We just went yesterday and honestly did not expect the food to be as good as we anticipated. The owners were insanely nice, made the food from scratch, and the entire atmosphere of the place was welcoming. Highly recommend everyone to come here on the regular!“
“Alright! Where do i begin?! There were 4 people behind the counter and when i walked in, all four greeted me. The manager greeted at the ordering station and didnt overwhelm me to order my food as this was the first time being there. He asked me if id like any suggestions and we landed on the chicken platter with spicy chickpeas rice and cole slaw. Everything about this bowl was immaculate. The chicken was well seasoned and spiced, the chick peas were tender and savory, and the rice was such a great compliment to the protein. I also ordered their fries because why not!The portion size was generous but not overbearing. They had the mexican coke glass bottles which was a great choice to wash the food down with. I got the brown to top it all off and it was amazing. Chipotle, Qdoba, Halal Guys even have nothing on Juicy Platters. I definitely will be coming back with the family!“
“Highly recommend and I would come again!We came as a party of 10 in Ramadan but the service was great. The staff were kind and attentive, food was served quickly, and it was delicious! We also got hummus, shepherd salad, and fries as starters to share, which were great. For entrees, I got the chicken sis with rice and the chicken was tender. I love their white sauce as well, so good! Portions were perfect. With tip our total was $35 per person which is reasonable for the amount of food we had.“

“My husband picked up takeout tonight and it was delicious! Portion sizes are huge. My Greek salad with chicken was expensive $28 but so worth it! It had arugula, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, red bell peppers, 1 grape leaf, shredded feta and olive oil seasoned dressing. My husband got lamb and rice (rice has chickpeas). It was a huge portion.Vegetarian options: Salad, falafelsParking: It is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking“
“The staff at Antioch Restaurant were attentive and explained the items that were brought out.- The offered a great wine selection and is BYOB.-Karişik meze starter : Fried Eggplant With Tomato Sauce, Hummus, Tatziki, Eggplant Salad, Babaganush, and Labne were absolutely delicious-Every dish was flavorful and highlighted Mediterranean spices. My favorites were the Lamb Adana, grilled meatballs and balloon bread paired with the Karişik meze tabaği.-I also thoroughly enjoyed the Sutlac (rice pudding) and kazandibi (milk pudding). This was my first time ever trying it.-This is a great place to visit if looking for authentic Mediterranean/Turkish cuisineVegetarian options: Great selection of plant based items such as falafel, eggplant stew, lentil dishes, an array of salad options, pasta and pizza.Parking: There is metered parking throughout the block of the restaurant“
“Incredible & welcoming customer service. Delicious food. Huge portions at affordable prices.The owner Shlomo goes out of his way to ensure everyone is taken care of.We drive over an hour at least twice a month just cause we enjoy our food experience.Highly recommend!“
“There are so many Greek places to choose from but we always keep coming back! The food is so delicious and everything is so fresh! Oh and the tzatziki is amazing! Also, the takeout bags always have a really cute drawing, our complements to the artist!“
“I am glad I saw their delivery van when I was driving by. I did a Uturn and hoped I stumbled on a yummy bakery. This place is gem. Small space for dining in so I decided to order a cappuccino and almond croissant to go and drive to a nearby park. I also got a container of their poppyseed hamantaschen cookies. Everything was top notch and delicious. Service was quick and friendly. First authentic croissant I have had in recent memory. I really appreciate that the baked goods were flavorful and not sugary. Perfect.“
“I always order the veggie/lentils bowl and sometimes replace the falafel with grilled chicken. However I have ordered many different food from cheese burger to the various smoothies and juice. Everything I’ve ordered here tastes excellent and the price is ridiculously good for the food. Most importantly, the people in the Montclair restaurant are so nice and welcoming. Love em!“
“This place is amazing! Such fresh food and amazing service! I regularly get the chicken schnitzel platter (make sure to get the white sauce, it is incredible) and I also love their falafel pita sandwich - they have an incredible salad bar with all types of toppings - once you’ve gone here, you won’t be able to go anywhere else - real talk“
“Lamb chops very tasty with Lemon Potatoes and Vegetables!!!!! Phenomenal!!!! Appetizers were very fresh . Dessert was incredible, we had the Galaktoboureko for the first time ever!!!! Our waiter was very helpful, didn't have to wait long for our food.10/10“
“Very impressed with the food and exceptional service. The food here made me feel like I was in Turkey. Notable attention to detail, flavor and seasoning. Portion size also surpassed expectations. Highly recommend if you’re in the area looking for genuine Mediterranean cuisine.“
“Always great food and a favorite. We've been getting takeout here for years since we moved to the area during the pandemic.The red lentil soup is my favorite and the spanakopita is amazing! We've had most items on the menu, you really can't go wrong. I prefer the Chicken Shih which is grilled and marinated chicken over the Chicken Gyro but they are both good. My husband enjoys the lamb.Because the dinning room isn't open yet and the blinds often closed, I think a lot of folks don't know it's open. It's a hidden gem in Ramsey and right near the train station.“
“If you're longing for the serene ambiance and flavors of European Mediterranean cuisine, then Morning Pace is the perfect spot for you! The tranquil and inviting atmosphere, along with the scrumptious freshly prepared dishes and delightful desserts, creates a truly memorable experience. And on weekends, you can enjoy live music and dance performances that add to the charm of this new and amazing place!“
“Absolutely outstanding! I recently visited Pidde Lahmajun and was blown away by both the flavor and service. Tunç and the entire team truly know how to make a customer feel special. Every bite of the Lahmajun was a delightful journey of taste, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The ambiance was welcoming, and the staff, especially Tunç and his friends, were incredibly attentive and friendly. It's rare to find a place that excels in both food quality and customer service, but Pidde Lahmajun does just that. A solid 10/10 experience. Highly recommend!“
“Hello everyone, we made a collective reservation with our friends, even though we were a large group, they prepared a section for us in the garden section and everything was perfect and the waiter who took care of us constantly came and checked our tables and offered many treats. I wanted to thank everyone here again, good luck to you and your efforts. May you have fruitful work.. ?Kid-friendliness: I would definitely recommend it as a place where you can spend comfortable time with your children :)“
“Just moved to Rutherford TODAY and I’m not used to having good pizza in NJ, I prefer NYC slices. Ordered a few pies this afternoon for all our friends and family who are helping us move and I needed to take a few minutes to write this review. So excited that this is my new fav pizza place! Pepperoni, Plain, and Sausage is so tasty!! Love the pepperoni cups that curl up! ❤️❤️❤️“
“This restaurant is amazing! We found the restaurant and seen they had great reviews through google. We hosted a family feast here, we had music, great food and great enviornment.The food is amazing, the atmosphere is great, the people are wonderful! Sandra is such a nice person, she waited on us at our family feast, she was so loving and caring and really made sure to cater to us and made us feel at home.

God bless you! May you continue to grow and succeed!“

The food came out relatively quickly despite our group size and everyone was beyond impressed with their selection. Lovely restaurant and great atmosphere, will definitely be back!“

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the host and seated at a cozy table with a lovely view of the bustling dining room. The menu offered a diverse selection of dishes, each expertly prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I opted for the Lamb Chops, and it exceeded all expectations in terms of taste and presentation.The service at Lulu Lounge was impeccable, with attentive servers who were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant yet inviting, creating a comfortable and enjoyable dining atmosphere. Overall, my experience at Lulu Lounge was outstanding, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.“
“Today was my first visit here, and it made me wish I lived closer! George and his staff made us feel like family, and the food was all so fresh and delicious. We started with an order of Zaatar fries [where have you been all my life]. They arrived crispy and seasoned to perfection. They need nothing, but a side of lebneh to dip in would take them over the top; note to self for next time... Next out was a huge and stunning platter, the mixed grill for two. See my pic for the lovely presentation of tasty grilled meats and veggies they served us. There was more than enough for us to share, and it was all thoughtfully prepared. Sure, I may have overdone it with the garlic sauce, but it was worth every minute! Just make sure everyone else has some, too.Not everyone belongs in this business, but George and his people certainly do; I feel like I just got back from having home-cooked lunch at my cousin's.Oh, don't miss the Iced Mint Lemonade! They serve it frozen, and it's a real treat.“
“Just came in so late today before shut down ordered chicken over rice white sauce hot sauce bbq sauce man these guys no matter the time always make you feel welcome man the food and energy in this place ???? and when I eat this food this food I forget to have a beverage lol no bull man guys and they open late ? thank u guys“
“I found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try because I was in town on business. The atmosphere was very inviting. My server was pleasant, knowledgeable, and very helpful in many recommendations. I ended up with the lunch special kebab. It came with the most delightful salad featuring best flavors! The main course was a generous portion of chicken, rice, and another salad. I would definitely make it a point to visit here again!“
“Hands down this is the best falafel I have ever had. So fresh, so tasty, and is truly made with love. The interior of this restaurant is very unique and homey. I also had the kufta sandwich that has since become my new favourite. The service is always top notch and the plate presentation is always very impressive.“
“Mr. Hüseyin, the owner of the restaurant, his wife and all the staff are wonderfully friendly, warm-blooded, smiling and helpful people. Anyone who wants to get delicious food in a good environment with quality service should stop by here. Although the prices are a bit high, the service compensates for it.“
“Very friendly and cute place. The beef shawarma wrap was delicious and my wife loved her quinoa salad. They also sell very unique Middle Eastern food products. I tried the sweet pickled garlic and it was really good. Tasted exactly like the Korean pickled garlic.“
“Great food, great service, really nice atmosphere. We met dear friends for dinner and had an awesome evening! Every course was excellent, Stephanie our server was terrific, and as we waited for our ride home, Salih said I am going through Ridgewood I will give you a ride. Wow! Talk about full service.“
“Has an amazing Turkish breakfast with lots of variety. The breads were fresh from the oven. The service was also wonderful as they were very kind and helped us with whatever we needed. Would 10/10 come againDietary restrictions: Has halal options“
“We had our baby's first birthday party / Korean dohljanchi at Mado and it could not have been more perfect. Aret and everyone at the restaurant were so wonderful to work with. They were happy to work with my requests and made party planning so easy. The space was the perfect size with ample parking for our guests. The food was amazing and everyone raved about the pillowy bread, dips, and entrees. Highly recommend it whether it's for a family meal or event. (Photos by Lisi Halabi Photography)“

“Capadocia in Little Falls, New Jersey, is an absolute gem. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. The ambiance is charming, with touches of Turkish culture evident throughout the decor.Now, let’s talk about the food. Oh my, where do I even begin? Every dish is a masterpiece, bursting with authentic Turkish flavors that transport you straight to the streets of Istanbul. Whether you’re indulging in their perfectly seasoned kebabs, savory mezes, or their heavenly baklava, each bite is a culinary delight.But what truly sets Capadocia apart is the attention to detail and the dedication of the staff. They go above and beyond to ensure that your dining experience is nothing short of exceptional. The service is prompt, courteous, and personalized, making you feel like a valued guest from start to finish.Whether you’re a seasoned lover of Turkish cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore new flavors, Capadocia is a must-visit destination. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!“
“Really good! I had the chicken shawarma platter and the chicken was perfectly flavored but it was a bit overcooked and dry. It was right before closing so I won't hold it against them. The rice was really flavorful and fluffy. The salad was delicious. would return again!“
“I love this place the food is so good and they have amazing and kind staff, best food place in all of new jersey!!Vegetarian options: Large vegetarian options that are soooooo goodDietary restrictions: Has great halal food and vegetarian food i dream about this food sometimesParking: Very good and easy parkingKid-friendliness: I always get food from here with my 2 kids“
“OMG, everything I’ve had here is amazing! The staff is lovely and friendly also. Can’t say enough good things, just go and get some mouth watering food. I go there once every few weeks because, I never want to get tired of it. Great choice for vegans and vegetarians also.Vegetarian options: Best moist falafels, humus, baba ghanoush. cauliflower is amazing, salads“
“Food is delicious here, always fresh and in good quantity, however prices have continued to go up since I first started going there and also with ordering takeout/delivery. Sometimes just ordering a Greek salad and a gyro, when all is said and done it's nearing $50. I know prices are up everywhere, but some things don't warrant such a jump in price. And definitely shouldn't stay at that price for the long term. Hoping prices will come down as food prices begin to improve.“
“Came from Texas by someone’s recommendation. I must say glad I did! We order lahmacun, veggie pide and salad. Everything was so delicious and service was great and quick. Music also so nice and pleasant.They even send us complementary dessert on house. I give two thumbs up with a smile on my face. Definitely great place to recommend??“
“I've had Laffa Shawarma and Laffa chicken.Tastes good, good portion and fairly priced.Very few selections of add-ons to your meal, the place itself is as basic as it gets, but clean.Will occasionally return since there are no other options for Israeli Shawarma in the area.“
“A birthday destination for sure. The food is excellent and "from scratch "! The service was attentive and all of the staff friendly and knowledgeable. It is a small business so the feeling is very intimate. Their Nutella pie is absolutely delicious and unlike any dessert I have ever had. Even though I am not a Nutella affectionata it has a flavor beyond compare.“
