50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Township Of Washington

“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.“

“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.“

“What a wonderful family-owned restaurant! The food is outstanding. We have been here many times and I must say, the stuffed grape leaves were truly exceptional last night. Our server, Hakkan (who is also the most gracious host and helps keep the floor running) made great suggestions for us and was attentive to all of our needs. The owner, Yasiye, is absolutely welcoming, kind and makes you feel as if you are a member of her family. Everything we ate was wonderful, including some selections from the specials menu. And on top of it all, the decor is lovely. There was even a large group there celebrating a birthday but the room never got too loud.Vegetarian options: The menu clearly shows which options are vegetarian and even several vegan.Wheelchair accessibility: None of us use a chair but there were no steps to enter the building.“

“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 !“

“As a world traveler, I have the best Italian dishes in Seoul, South Korea, French Casseroles, and Authentic Chinese food in Montreal, Canada. However, today, I had the best Persian food in our little town of Hasbrouck Heights. Zaffron Bloom, a family-owned restaurant, offers the best homemade Persian food I ever had over the last thirty years. The meals were prepared freshly, and the unique drink, the Pomegranate Blossom, opened my taste buds, allowing me to taste every seasoning on the Sigara Borek and Kebab Koobideh. Hasbrouck Heights offers many delicious options; however, this hidden Persian treasure has unique cuisines, drinks, and pastries worth tasting. I highly recommend going to Zaffron Bloom, and I give them 10/10—a special thanks to Chef Shahin and her family for their warm hospitality and delicious cuisine. I will return to the Zaffron Bloom and continue feeding my soul with their unique delicacies.“

“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“

“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-“

“We had dinner there the portions were bountiful. The food was delicious. The service was very good. Everybody was very friendly. We had the mixed grill and the mixed appetizer. Everything was delicious. The restaurant looks beautiful on the inside. Atmospheres is very nice place to sit and enjoy a meal.Dietary restrictions: Halal food“

“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!“

“Always passed by, finally decided to try this place. Ordered online, but when I came in I had to wait for a few minutes, but while I waited the owner gave me food to try and was nice, and the inside has a nice style to it so it's very relaxing to sit. When I got my food, everything was great. The Greek fries has a nice crisp feel, and taste great plain or with the cheese and spices added to them. I had the lamb and beef gyro and the meat has to be one of the best gryo meats I have had: it's soft, juicy and chewy and tastes amazing. Will definitely return.“

“Izzy was my waiter and host- very welcoming, helpful, and professional. As great and fresh as the food was, Izzy definitely went above and beyond to make a great experience even better.The food was authentic, freshly prepared but came out in a timely fashion. Baklava was light and flaky- the vanilla ice cream accompanying it had crushed pistachios on top- really went above and beyond for the little touches that might get overlooked by some clients. Shows a real pride in their food and service.Decor was of a bistro and had ample space. I did not feel crowded by other tables or patrons.Glad I happened on this restaurant. I will definitely be back again soon.Parking: 100+Wheelchair accessibility: 1st floor access directl from parking lot which had well over 100 spaces shared between the strip mall.“

“Everything was phenomenal!I believe it’s family owned, so everything is very well made and not commercialized, very fresh and taken care of every detail.Try their Shawarma& Shawafel.. not only tastes better than any Mediterranean place I’ve eaten in in NJ, it tastes better and more authentic than the ones back home!! Better than my what my grandma would do! Oh and try their garlic dip ?❤️‍?Would give 10 stars if I could!!!!“

“Asalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu, I just don't like the food much, maybe it's because it is so different, probably is. The restaurant was nice and the service person was really nice and helpful. Probably is better if u are turkish. I'll give 4 stars.“

“We tried the Zinger & Hella Juicy burgers, Fries with Garlic sauce and Spicy Fries. We were amazed with the quantity and quality of food.Topped it up with Fried Orio ice cream, again absolutely on spot.It is a small takeout place with a 10 seating spots. After tasting the food I wasn’t surprised to find that the owner is a five star banquet chef with very high aspirations.“

“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“

“Amazing gyros some of the best in the area always get them both the chicken and lamb, fresh and extremely tasty! Also very honest people working here usually the same guy always a $20 bill fell out of my pocket he found it came outside almost a block down to hand it back to me! Another reason I’ll always go/come here!“

“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!“

“Definitely recommend it! Food is really good. Kelle-paca soup and oh the LIVER! You’re not going to regret it. The atmosphere is really nice and friendly. Ali Bey is so kind and has a funny sense of humor. :) Don’t think twice, just come here. <3“

“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. The owner is an amazing guy, he worked with us to make sure we got all that we wanted from the menu, all the food was well cooked and fresh.I highly suggest this restaurant for any family events, parties or just a day out for lunch or dinner.Thank you so much! God bless you! May you continue to grow and succeed!“

“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.“

“I been wanting to try this restaurant out and I’m glad I did!! I ordered from this restaurant through Uber Eats. Ended up getting a chicken platter, chicken shawarma and falafels. This will be my go-to for falafels!! So crisp on the outside & fluffy, moist in the inside. I had a few bites of the chicken and rice platter and I like it better than my normal halal restaurant! A little bit more pricey than other restaurants, but so good! I will definitely order from here again!!“

“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.“

“Place was super busy when we got there, a good sign for sure. Many people coming in to pick up takeout. It was a 30 min wait to be seated, which was absolutely fine by my group. We were attended well, and the appetizers and entrées were banging! Would definitely go again.Parking: Might be a little difficult to find parking depending on the time of day.“

“Everything about our dinner was wonderful! Our server was fantastic, polite & friendly. The overall service & attention was wonderful & the pork chop special was outstanding! We highly recommend Savini's...and the pork chop ?“

“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)“

“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.“

“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“

“This is our favorite! Rita always attended with excellent service and very careful with us and Joseph always there when we call him he has the food ready when arrive there to eat! love too they speak Spanish and understands clearly what my mom wants! Hope the food doesn’t changes!“

“Loved the food! Metin provide such great service, from the free food to customizing the order exactly for over 40 people to all the good suggestions. Overall an amazing order. Highly recommend ordering from here for a fantastic catering meal.“

“The skirt steak was cooked nicely to medium-rare as ordered. It was a nice tasty cut and lightly seasoned. The staff were efficient and knowledgeable. The kitchen crew that brought out the food seemed like he took great care with the food, I appreciated that. The person that served water was super nice and helpful. The only negative for me was the French fries, the fries served to me were soggy and not tasty. It might have just been an off batch. But the mains are so good that I don't even care. Overall great experience, I will be back again!“

“Excellent dining experience. I had the Turkish coffee martini, so good it could be a dessert. The tabuleh and babagannush appetizers with the warm bread basket were good. We got the lamb shish with rice and the salmon with rice, both prepared perfectly. Ended the night with a traditional Turkish coffee. We weren't rushed during dinner with one plate immediately followed by another, or after we finished, relaxing delicious dinner. Staff were all very good!“

“Food was good for the price. I order two falafel platters, $12 each. I was surprised to get curly fries in my falafel platters since i personally prefer rice… maybe I can request for half rice and half fries next time.The brookie (half brownie and half cookie) were freshly baked today, and tastes delicious, $1.50 each . Cookie was probably from yesterday, a little stale $1 each.Great customer service and food was prepared quickly! Falafels were crunchy, freshly made! I was in and out within 15-20 mins.“

“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??“

“to start off the service is amazing . staff is super helpful and accommodating making sure customers are satisfied. they have a wide selection of food, so there is always something to order for everyone, even those who are more picky than others. they also have live music and restaurant is very spacious and great for a date night, family/friend get togethers. always down to go here and i’m not even from new jersey!“

“I went with friends. Food was good and filling and presented cleanly. Atmosphere was beautiful too, with tall windows perfect for sunlight and easy piano music.My friends had mixed reviews on their drinks, but I personally liked mine (Dirty Chai). I got a small, but it was such a considerable size, like some places might charge you for a large for the same oz. Additionally, a good price, I attached a picture of the cup, which was filled to the brim, and for $4.95 nowadays it’s a bargain.My main issue was the Shakshuka. Again, delicious food. However, the pricing was a bit strange. I ordered a Veggie Lover Shakshuka, which is $10.95. I also wanted Feta, so I wanted that extra. Notice that the Shakshuka is $10.25, and the Shakshuka with feta $10.75. You would assume feta must be 50 cents, right? And that for feta in addition to a Veggie Lover Shakshuka is 50 cents plus $10.95. Look at my receipt. The extra cheese was $2.00. This just seems weird and inconsistent, and when I discussed it with a worker, the worker says that the system automatically charges $2.00 for extras and that they couldn’t set individual prices.Additionally, it seems they forgot the mushrooms and spinach for my Veggie Lover Shakshuka, which comes with peppers, spinach, and mushrooms. However, the workers remedied this when I brought this to their attention, providing extra bread as well.Overall, lovely place with good food, but weird pricing systems that are a bit shady in my opinion. I’d recommend this place, but don’t buy extras since they’ll charge $2.00 for a sprinkle of feta.“

“When you’re having lunch with all the locals you know you’re in the right place! We loved the kebabs, the cheese pastrmajlija(?) and the shopska salad! the owner was so welcoming and we had a magical lunch! we will definitely come back! thank you! :0)“

“We stopped here on Christmas Eve 2023 while traveling through the area. It was relatively empty, but there seemed to be a brisk takeout business with phone orders and folks coming in. Seems like a family restaurant that enjoys serving the community.Service was quick and professional, accommodating and not pushy.We split a Greek salad, which was simple but amazing tasting. We both got gyros, but mine had the lamb souvlaki with it, which was a little dry and overcooked (I ordered it medium) l, especially compared to the gyro meat.Would definitely recommend and visit again if in the area.“

“I had the privilege of having the Kebabci West cater my wedding back in June of 2023. The food was absolutely incredible. The meats and appetizers that they served us were delicious! Turan and his staff are great and they did an amazing job catering our wedding. The catering menu provides great variety and high-quality foods. Would recommend for in-house dining and catering services. Thank you from Daniel and Nicole“

“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.“

“Vegetarian options: Not a vegetarian myself I love my meats. Went here 3 or 4 times before even realizing it was vegetarian which to me was all the convincing I needed that they have some amazing foods. Nothing felt like it was lacking at all.“

“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“

“My first time here but seriously it’s worth of trying I will definitely come back of how delicious the food was I couldn’t take a picture but the service was amazing the guys were very friendly and nice … I will definitely talk about the mix appetizers so good the hummus was on point I ordered the chicken shawarma omg it’s very delicious my family tried the steak was cooked really good we tried the shrimp kabobs wow everything was on point ……. I will definitely mention the mint lemonade so refreshing and delicious“

“This is a wonderful, delicious restaurant with generous portions. The appetizers are great and the mains are excellent. I love their gyro meat, Shepard salad and assorted appetizer plate. If you enjoy Turkish food you can’t go wrong with this restaurant.“
