Restaurants in South Orange

“Had the pleasure of eating at Giorgio"s last night before a show at SPAC. Service was outstanding, menu explained and food was excellent. From our salad, entree and desert everything was outstanding. I highly recommend it but please not before a show I may now get a reservation again.”

“The food is delicious!
I got the original chicken with rice platters and one chicken mix gyro wrap. Excellent and momma is really hard to please. We’re transplants from NYC and with NYC being at the top of the dining out / take home capital it is tough for many States and counties to compete with the flavor and cooking styles easily found in NYC just around every corner.

OMGRYRO easily hits all the marks with the exception of the Jerk Chicken. Jerk Chicken flavor profile is no bueno in my humble opinion and that is because it doesn’t come close to tasting like jerk seasoning and can’t compare to true jerk style flavor.

Everything else is we ordered and devoured tasted great, high on flavor with decent portion sizes.

Hope they put the Jerk Season flavor to the chicken NYC style.”

“From start to finish, our experience was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail from the service to the food was top notch. The new owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, checking in throughout the evening and truly making us feel like valued guests. The chef is nothing short of incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell there’s a deep passion and talent behind the menu especially if you’re a fan of French Mediterranean cuisine, which was executed to perfection. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an elevated yet cozy dining experience. A must visit spot that I’ll definitely be returning to!”

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement”

“The food is EXTREMELY good at the spot, especially if you’re a first time Indian-cuisine eater. Terrence is such an amazing person!!! He was so kind to me, and recommended the chicken curry dish to me, which was a 10/10 dish!

Try out this spot!!”

“I love this place! The food is so fresh; and the service is always great!”

“We recently celebrated my daughter’s 10th birthday at SOMA Sweets, and I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience!

From the moment we walked in, everything felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together. The space itself is charming and perfect for a kids’ celebration - bright, fun, and full of sweet details that made the day feel extra special.

What truly stood out, though, was the owner and her team. Their kindness, patience, and genuine enthusiasm made all the difference. They went above and beyond to make sure every child felt included and had a great time. It’s clear they care deeply about what they do, and it shows in every aspect of the experience.

The activities were engaging and age-appropriate, keeping a group of excited 10-year-olds happily entertained (no small feat!). And of course, the sweets and ice cream were absolutely delicious - beautifully made and a huge hit with both kids and adults.

SOMA Sweets made everything feel easy and seamless. I was actually able to relax and enjoy the celebration alongside my daughter, which is the greatest gift.

If you’re looking for a unique, joyful, and well-organized place to host a birthday party, I wholeheartedly recommend SOMA Sweets. We’ll definitely be back!

Thank you, Monica and team, for making my daughter’s birthday so memorable!”

“Large menu to suit everyone - even the non-Mexican food lovers. Service has always been very fast by staff and food arrives quickly also….even if they are very busy. It’s a “go to” place when I’m in South Orange.”

“We love everything about Miti Miti!”

“Come inside and join the Ethiopian culinary experience. It's a food-gasm. I was afraid introducing my friends to this , didnt think they would like it and they loved it. They gonna be going more than me. big perk alert, BYOB. I wish we had places like this near me”

“ALS Formula treatment from Aknni herbs centre, It has made a tremendous difference for me (Visit ww w. aknniherbscentre.c om). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength,”

I had the chicken wrap with seasoned fries. It was very flavorful. It was made to order. I also had an amazing smoothie!.

I would go back over and over again!. Make sure to check out this beautiful café!.”

“so today was my first day going to this lovely local bakery, and I tried the chocolate croissant. This chocolate croissant was so chocolatey and so delicious. every single bite had chocolate in it. It was more dense than like a traditional French chocolate croissant, but if you want a chocolate croissant That is super chocolatey. This is the place to go.”

“great food. friendly atmosphere”

“Unfortunate that the food and more importantly the service couldn't be better the vibe is always cool. This is probably why you can always get a last minute reservation on a Sat night vs other places in the surrounding towns. Been here a few times but probably the last.”

“Food is always great and on time”

“Great price, nice size, clean & friendly.”

“Great food, great prices, great service!!! I will definitely be returning.”

“classic local spot. delicious beef patty and other dishes . beef cheese coco was $4 , cant get hot food cheaper. anyone hating on J&Js is an enemy of the community fr”

“Great feel to the new space! Very open and inviting. I had a tasty iced mocha coffee and a peach danish today. Delicious.”

“I had an amazing experience at this authentic Costa Rican restaurant! The service was excellent, and the main dishes were delicious, especially the famous "Gallo Pinto" (I'm addicted). I highly recommend trying their Tacos Ticos or their Casado. They also have great drink options, including traditional coffee and natural juices.”

“The sandwiches were good, as always; but, when you order online with specific instructions and they are not followed to the letter, then it’s not good. If you order wheat bread and you get white bread, that’s not cool; and then you order your bacon on the side of another sandwich, and you don’t get any bacon at all, that’s not cool!
Will I stop eating Jersey Mike’s Subs, Naah. The family members whose sandwiches arrived incorrect, well, yeah, can’t really speak for them.”

“Everything this place touches turns to deliciousness. From the coffee they serve to the sandwiches and wraps. This place is a class act! 😉”

“I have eaten nearly all types of fast food burgers. But these guys make them all look and taste horrible!!! Meat had flavor!!!! Real flavor!!!! The toppings on my burger were fresh, delicious and crunchy!!! The quality was on point and they are quick too!!! I’m a new regular customer for life now!!!!”

“Great neighborhood spot! Everyone who works here is kind/helpful and there’s a great laid back atmosphere with plenty of TVs. Plus the pizza and buffalo chicken fingers are really good!”

“I always stop in for slices”

“What I ordered I did not get Didn’t bother to read special instructions they gave me stuff I do not eat Shrimp Lo Mein No Onions or Beansprouts is what I ordered sub carrots and peas this is the crap I got”

“Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was great! The price was very reasonable.”

“The jerk shrimp and scallop appetizer was absolutely amazing. I will most definitely be revisiting this place frequently.”
