“It was a wonderful experience trying Lebanese cuisine for the first time. I love everything my daughter-in-law ordered. My favorite was the Old City Platter. I got to try different things. The hummus plate was awesom❤️🩹”

“First off, I was met with by a staff member in a cowboy hat (LOVE!) The booth was so soft and comfy and the table stands are ornate. I had the short rib and the meat was fall off the bone delicious! It was so tender and the sides were so plentiful and delicious. Each side had something a little different to pair well with the meat; sweet, salty, savory! I also had the shik Karak which was a delicious tea and for dessert, I had a banana crepe drizzled in chocolate. They do have a flair with food and I will definitely be back here!”

“I always judge Café by espresso! Espresso out very well, It was full bodied, tasteful and layered. It was all and all a good espresso shot. It may have been slightly over extracted- but it wasn’t too bad, especially comparing other cafés where it’s majorly under extracted and taste like an entire lemon was steeped in it. I encourage you guys to keep up the good work and test your espresso daily”

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Negeen. The food honestly felt like sitting at my grandmother’s table. The Ghormeh Sabzi, Koobideh, Joojeh Kebab, and even the Ashe Reshteh tasted so authentic. Everything was perfectly seasoned, fresh, and full of love. The restaurant feels cozy with warm, tasteful decor. The husband and wife who own and run the restaurant are also incredibly kind and welcoming. They make you feel right at home, which makes the whole experience even more special. Truly a five star experience. I’ll definitely be coming back.”

“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.”

“Omg let me just start by saying the chicken kofta platter was sooo good 😭 The kofta was seasoned perfectly, super flavorful, but nothing was overpowering. Everything just tasted really balanced and fresh. The signature white sauce and hot sauce together were sooo good too. They went perfectly with the platter and made everything even better. They also gave us the King Sauce and Spicy King Sauce on the side and both were really good. The spicy one had a little kick to it, but it was still super flavorful and not crazy spicy at all. Definitely one of those meals where you keep going back for another bite 😂 10/10, I would absolutely get this again.”
