“Enjoyed the many different Tapas we tried out 😋“

“Freakin Vegan elevates mac and cheese with their textured pork and tangy BBQ sauce but forgets the most important part. That topping is delicious, but the mac and cheese is less cheese and more of a thinly coated macaroni. I found myself wanting more of a gooey, saucy yellow cheese, mixing and swirling with the tangy BBQ. This Mac is great, but with the addition of a cheese sauce, this Mac could elevate even higher.“

“Great food. My sons first ramen. He really liked it.“

“First time I had Indian food was a few years ago in NC, and I was NOT impressed. We were up visiting my sister in Ridgewood and we went out for fathers day dinner at Tabla. We ordered a bunch of different appetizers and entrees and we shared them all. I was absolutely impressed. I totally enjoyed EVERY item. I especially liked the curry fish with coconut milk. The service was exceptional and very friendly, it was an entirely enjoyable experience. I heartily recommend this Indian Restaurant in Ridgewood, NJ.“

“I just ordered from one of their locations and it was absolutely delicious. I will be ordering from them again.“

“Absolutely amazing! Go there!“

“Absolutely excellent food. You will not be disappointed!“

“Salad House in Westwood is easily one of my go-to spots for a great, fresh meal. The food is consistently incredible — super fresh ingredients, generous portions, and everything just tastes clean and well put together. You can build your own salad or try one of their signature options, and either way, you’re walking out happy.

What really sets this place apart is the vibe. The owner, Jack, is always around and genuinely makes you feel welcome. He remembers faces, checks in on customers, and creates a real community feel. It’s the kind of personal touch you don’t get at most places anymore.

The restaurant itself is spotless — clean tables, organized counters, and everything runs smoothly, even during busy lunch hours. It’s clear the team takes pride in how the place operates.

Whether you’re eating in or grabbing something to go, Salad House is a solid choice. I’ve been a few times now and will definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend if you’re in or around Westwood!“

“My wife and I recently celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary at From Scratch, coinciding with the restaurant’s 10th anniversary, and it was an unforgettable evening that exceeded every expectation. From the moment we stepped into the warm, inviting space, the staff made us feel like honored guests, with a special nod to the milestone celebrations—both ours and theirs. The atmosphere buzzed with a joyful energy, perfectly balancing sophistication and comfort, as if the restaurant itself was toasting a decade of culinary excellence. The four-course tasting menu was a masterclass in flavor and creativity, each dish showcasing the kitchen’s dedication to crafting everything from scratch. I began with the beef tartare, a delicate yet bold starter. It set the tone for what was to come: precision and passion in every bite. My wife got the eggplant caponata for her first course, a vibrant dish that was both rustic and refined. It was a testament to how From Scratch elevates humble ingredients into something extraordinary. The handmade raviolis were an absolute highlight, each delicate parcel bursting with a silky ricotta filling. The pasta was so tender it practically melted, a labor of love that spoke to the restaurant’s name and ethos. We couldn’t stop raving about the texture—perfectly al dente, yet impossibly light. The mint added a hint of freshness to the dish, that I was originally hesitant about, but I’m happy I gave it a go! For the main courses, my wife got the lamb. Perfectly cooked to a rosy pink, it was fall-apart tender, and had a perfect crust on the outside. The dish was hearty yet elegant. Equally stunning were the scallops, seared to golden perfection with a buttery, caramelized crust. They sat around a small bed of caviar with purple mashed potatoes. Each bite was a harmonious balance of sea and earth. The meal concluded with a ricotta dessert that was nothing short of divine. The creamy, cloud-like ricotta mousse was paired with a coulis with ginger dough crumbs. It was the perfect sweet note to end the evening, light yet indulgent, with flavors that lingered long after the last spoonful. From Scratch isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of craft, community, and unforgettable moments. For our anniversary, we couldn’t have chosen a better place to mark the occasion, and we’re already looking forward to returning to see what the next decade brings for this culinary gem. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a dining experience that’s as heartfelt as it is delicious!“

“Wow this lady can bake! I have know her for a few years now but didn't really know about her baking till recently. I thought I would be nice and supportive and buy a cake. BAM! Best cake I ever eat! Now I am trying to think up excuses to buy another.“

“I am a spoiled Delhiite used to having all the delicious cuisines in Delhi. I can say.. Turmeric spoiled me in New Jersey now. Great Food Great Ambience. Food so close to home. Definitely a must try place.“

“A nice little quaint mom and pop pho shop. The pho broth is different from the other bigger pho restaurant in the region and tastes just as good if not better. Parking is limited and a bit challenging. Need to be patient as the owner couple takes care of everything, from taking orders to cooking.“

“Solid ramen shop! I really tried to find their weakness, but they did not disappoint. Food came out quick, everything was amazing and I can eat like 10 of those pork buns! No drinks, butI will definitely be coming back! Did I mention affordable too, I cant remember the last time I spent less than 100 bucks going out to eat with 4 ppl.“

“The Best Food and Service 👍👍👍👍“

“I never liked sushi and ive lived my life hating it. Until i continuosly tried it over and over again. WASABI did the trick. I absolutely loved the experience i had here with my coworkers. And the sushi was not only deleicious but it was also fresh. Not to mention the people that work here are wonderful.“

“Excellent food, big portions and super delivery service. Always kind and usually faster than expected! We know that when we order from Santoni's we'll enjoy great meals...for a few days, thanks to the portions!“

“This was my first time here in a few years and.....it's okay. The aesthetics is nice and it's a great place to have lunch outside. The food is fine but a little overpriced although these days it's fine. I got the harvest salad or whatever and they skimped out on all the fun ingredients (barelt any applys, nuts, berries, dressing). Service could've been better.“

“El big taco muy delicioso excelente atención“

“I e cream is great, nice building and atmosphere, rude pretentious staff. I came with a 2 year old, she needed a diaper change, they told me the restrooms were closed to customers and only for staff. I got my little girl her ice cream and a guy who appeared to be a manager told us to get out because they dont allow indoor seating. it's a shame because the ice cream is great and it's a great location“

“Shop has a wonderful atmosphere and the staff is incredibly kind! I went to pick out some coffee beans, and Dalton was so helpful with showing me the variety of beans! We landed on Burundi after he was kind enough to make me a pour over with it, and I’m so grateful for his patience with me and all of my questions. Definitely going to come back with my friends and family“

“This coffee place is lovely. They have the most delicious apple cider donuts not to mention they also have vegan yummy cookies. The Colombian lady is very nice. They also have a fireplace and good wifi. Nice place for a date or just to have a good time with friends.

Vegetarian options: Vegan cookies“

“Went for Valentine's Day and was pleasantly surprised that there was a special menu but also regular menu was also available. We chose the special menu which was very reasonably priced at $90 for two with options for each course. Started with burrata caprese. Nice size portion and cheese very good but tomatoes were not that flavorful. (Other option was fried zucchini) Next was Caesar salad- tasty and not overdressed (other option was garden salad) Next was main dish. I had Branzino with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Delicious and enough for 2 meals. Husband had scallops with risotto which he enjoyed. There were 4 choices for entrees. Dessert was a medley of sweets. The churro was the best of the group. Coffee was included. Atmosphere was nice. Servers very pleasant. We had an 8 pm reservation and were seated immediately and were not rushed. Nice amount of time between courses Overall an excellent meal.“

“A Ridgewood classic! Great beer selection, great bar food. Our group has been there for several happy hour events. Always live music. The tent makes outside dining great year round. Drinks with freinds or burgers with the family, you gotta go!“

“Truly Sichuan catered a party I had for 30 people. Renee the owner made the planning process completely stressless. We had the soup dumplings (all guests agreed the best we ever had) and the rest of the food was fresh and so yummy! Almost everyone asked me where the restaurant was because it was the best Chinese food they ever had. The food, Renee and the rest of the staff makes this one of the best gems in Bergen county!!“
