“the food is great and quick to serve.“

“Love this place! Fast delivery always, and everything is delicious!“

“Fresh, flavorful, great quality. well seasoned with awesome layers of flavors. beyond impressed. out of towner who swung in for a quick meal before a show. byob is an awesome touch and makes up for the slightly higher pricing. service is great too with knowledgeable and friendly staff. 5/5“

“For a $1000 meal I expect flawless service and unfortunately that was not the case. Drinks ordered during dinner arrived while eating desert. Two times they brought over the wrong drinks and one order they completely forgot.. Also when waiter brings over food he should know who ordered what and not have to ask again. Food was good but service needs improvement if those are the prices you will be charging.“

“Stopped by Hummus Republic and honestly didn’t expect it to hit this hard. Everything tasted fresh, portions were filling, and the flavors were on point. Great spot if you want something that feels healthy but still super satisfying. Definitely coming back.“

“Wonderful experience dining here. Delicious chicken combo for 2 - chicken chops especially good!, varied dips with pita, large servings. It was all great. Service and atmosphere were super too. Will definitely be back, highly recommend.“

“CAVA!! You have NO right to be so DELICIOUS and be 30 minutes from my house 🤣 but really please bring one down to Carolina forest SC! I had the salmon strawberry bowl how it comes but pickles onions instead of the tomatoes & it was out of this world .. I will be back!!!“

“I came in and ordered a Dhoom chicken sandwich and some fried chicken and I noticed they had biryani. In my twenty-two years of living I have never seen biryani on the menu of any halal platter/chicken shack place so I gave it a try expecting it to be mid. They are on par with a few of the restaurants in the area with that biryani and it's actually pretty cheap too at 12 bucks. They put a fair amount of meat in there too, like three pieces with a lot of rice. The Dhoom chicken sandwich was actually fresh and had some good toppings (onions, tomatoes) with tasty sauce. The fried chicken was a little greasy though. Even though Piscataway and NB are full of halal places if you're looking for something unique try these guys.“

“Very healthy food and worker are friendly. Love this place“

“With the bar as large as your is, the bartender, Anthony Kovach keeps constant vision on drink levels and show a very high level of customer service.. When in a bar and the bartender is good, I ask them for their name and yell them I appreciate the service.“

“I had a great experience at Sahara Restaurant The beef shawarma and chicken shawarma were both absolutely delicious full of flavor fresh and perfectly cooked The meat was juicy and the sauces made everything taste even better The atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly too Definitely a great spot for tasty shawarma Highly recommended“

“Great place for Gyro sandwiches and platters.The food is simply delicious !!! 😊“

“I have been thinking of stopping in for a while, I came in today for their Arabic chicken Shawarma. It was delicious. Crunchy outside, very flavorful inside. I will come again. Not very attractive photos but it gives you an idea. They have a shawarma sandwich on a roll but I very much prefer like this!“

“It was great. Besides they were one of the few restaurants open around 4pm on a Tuesday. Friendly service.“

“Hey there ? I live in Islamabad, I visited Gyro King, the food is so Delicious and everyone who works there is so sweet and kind also the staff is so kind. We had visited many great places but I loved the Gyro King food. The Araby salad is so good in taste and all the other dishes I tried is also so yummy and delicious. Keep up the good work guys and don't let up on the consistency!“

“The boys were exceptionally sweet and welcoming. This is my first time at this location and the customer service was amazing! I’ll stop by anytime I’m this neighborhood!“

“Great place for Gyro sandwiches and platters.The food is simply delicious !!! 😊“

“Great ambience with even better food. The server was really good he made us felt welcome and also suggested what we should order. Lamb Adana kababs were very authentic and really tasty I will suggest it as a must have if you like Mediterranean food. Also ordered Tas kabab, it was really good, the meat was really tender and gravy complimented the rice it was served with.“

“Eating it too fast!
Authentic, delicious, fresh, affordable!

What else could want??
After a week workibg on the road, this was by far the best, healthiest meal ive had all week.

Highly recommend the red lentil soup, falafell, samosas and chicken pita!“

“I wanted to leave a review because every time I come here, I notice the same thing: the employees work incredibly hard.

The food is always great, but what stands out to me most is the staff. Every time I walk in, they’re constantly moving, helping customers, preparing food, handling orders, and keeping everything running. I’ve never once been made to feel rushed, ignored, or like I was a burden, even when it’s obvious they’re extremely busy.

Today, the lady helping us even offered our toddler a free baklava as a thank-you for being patient while we waited. That small gesture meant a lot and showed just how thoughtful and caring the staff are, even while juggling so many responsibilities.

As a customer, I genuinely don’t know how they do it. If I were in their position, I’d probably be frustrated and overwhelmed, but they continue to show patience, professionalism, and kindness.

I don’t know what goes on behind the scenes, but from what I can see, this team deserves more support. For the amount of work being done and the volume of customers coming through, it seems like a very small staff carrying a very heavy workload. As both a customer and a human being, I don’t think that’s fair.

I hope management knows how valuable these employees are and how much they contribute to the success of this business. They deserve recognition, appreciation, and the help needed to make their jobs more manageable. The food keeps me coming back, but the people working here are a huge part of why I continue to support this place“

“Amazing Food and service !!“

“Great food and great people. Highly recommend them!“

“The food was very delicious and fresh. Everyone was very pleased . The service was very friendly and responsive. They also provided very generous sizes to very reasonable price. Highly recommended“

“We visited the New Brunswick, NJ location on March 11,2025 around 8:30pm and must say we are extremely disappointed with the service. Here’s our saga: we ordered chicken Kakab platter in person and asked the person behind the counter to put the olives, turnips and pickle on the side. It was shocking to hear that the guy told me that I have to pay extra. I told him again I am not asking for anything extra but just that I need my olives, pickand turnip which is on top to Be put in the side he reiterated and said that it will be an extra charge. The manager had put in a new policy in place. Is there any checks and balances in place to control this nonsense This is so bizarre….let me ask you this …. If I go to a burger joint and ask them for fries in a separate plate (again not extra) would they ask me for more money? What’s going on Mamouns? Not expecting from you guys…. Utter disgrace…. We have been your patrons since last 20 years ….. its makes us think twice if we really want to go to Mamouns again. This is totally unacceptable.“

“I personally know, not think, this was the best experience I’ve ever had. The workers here made me feel so comfortable. I am from Georgia and it was my mom’s birthday and they were playing Georgian songs before her cake came. About the cake, desserts, and food it was absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend !“

“We’ve become “regulars” at this wonderful restaurant, soon after they became kosher. We visit regularly, and get takeout pretty often. The food is great! It’s consistent and just SO tasty. And the staff… Absolutely terrific!!!“

“Was impressed with the decor, service and food. The BBQ burger was cooked perfectly! Made with fresh meat (not frozen formed patty) - not sure whst the English would be but I know it in Yiddish as “hockfleish.” The BBQ sauce added to the taste of the meat without being overpowering and the onion, pickle, lettuce and the challah bun were all extremely fresh. Looking forward to coming back snd trying the other choices!“

“I ordered a maple cold brew with pistachio cold foam from their winter menu and a few donuts. It was all delicious!“

“We got the combination platter for two. More than enough food. Everything was delicious and the staff was friendly.“

“A Greek experience away from home. All are super authentic from the deserts to the coffee.“

“Kyma is the reason we drive 30 minutes for amazing authentic Greek cuisine. Our appetizer/small plate of smoked eggplant dip & lamb empanada with herb mint sauce was a wonderful start. Sea bass in tomato broth with potatoes & Aegean shrimp dish were perfectly prepared. We had to have the baklava with vanilla ice cream (no pic as we attacked it!). The ambience, service and food made for a beautiful meal!“

“the best made from scratch in house Middle Eastern food in all of central New Jersey and the owners are extremely friendly great place to either take out or casual setting get a bite inside“

“The BEST Greek food I’ve had in NJ. Highly recommend. Their lemon potatoes, lemon chicken soup and Greek fries are so fresh.“

“So grateful to Café Picasso for making my birthday dinner last Friday night a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was above and beyond! It's dimly lit inside which made reading the menu a bit challenging. However, everything we did order made up for it! I highly recommend the Frittura di Calamari for an appetizer. The following dishes we ordered were spectacular! Rigatoni alla Vodka, Penne alla Grotta, Gnocchi Alessandra, Norwegian Salmon (special), Penne al Forno, Spaghetti alla Carbonara and the Pollo alla Francese! It is a BYOB establishment, luckily there is a wine and spirits store next door. My family will definitely be returning to this beautiful gem in the heart of Somerville!“

“Food is amazing and great service!!!! Highly recommend 🙏🏼🥰“

“Best place ever Dalia and the Staff Thanks agin for Great Catering For our son Bar mitzvah“

“I love this restaurant so much! I've ordered the grilled octopus appetizer two weeks in a row—it's absolutely delicious. The meat is tender and fragrant, absolutely worth a try. For my main course, I had the chicken souvlaki with lemon potatoes, which was delicious and perfectly seasoned. The accompanying olive bread was the perfect icing on the cake and complemented every dish perfectly. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The service is personalized and relaxed, creating a homely dining experience. They also offer BYOB (Bring Your Own Wine), which is a real plus! People always seem happy dining at Pithari Taverna—perhaps because of the warm atmosphere, the delicious food, or simply because of the authentic Greek atmosphere🥰“

“We've enjoyed their lunches and their dinners. We love their salad- fresh tasty cucumbers, tomatoes and ? that makes it great. We like their lentil soup. We adore the special Noni Afghan (or Nan, a staple, long, oval flatbread with a chewy interior and crusty exterior). We like the choice of rice (my favorite is weird brown long rice with carrots and raisins) We have tried most of the meat choice- all are delicious. 3 very different sauces are fun - the white yogurt sauce makes everything tastes great. The service is always friendly, never rushed. We enjoy coming to Silk Road often.“

“10/10 would definitely recommend. 🍔🍔“
