“The most amazing and delicious Turkish Breakfast I ever had. Not only in New Jersey area. I’ve tried lots of places in the Tri-State area and it’s definitely 5 Stars. Everything is homemade. There’s a lot of food when you order Turkish Breakfast. The cheese on the platter is very rich. Definitely try the Turkish eggy toast. It’s absolutely so yummy. It’s only on Sundays 10:00am-2:00pm. The atmosphere is fantastic. Especially for any kind of showers or parties. I’ve found out they have 2 more locations in Cliffside Park,NJ & Livingston,NJ as well. The owner is super nice and he welcomes and is so polite to customers. The prices are very reasonable. They have a huge parking lot. Handicapped customers are welcome to restrooms and parking lot.“

“We dine in here frequently and have had an amazing experience always. We meet Brian the GM, who’s nothing but terrific. He is so personable, he always checks in on how the food and experience is and goes above and beyond!

I highly recommend this place for very good Greek food that’s fresh and made well!

“My dinner was delicious and the owners were great.“

“This place is great👍👍 Highly recommend to all my friends.“

“Love ❤️ Food nice in clean“

“I ate good. They park at a nice spot for walking traffic. Looks like good people and rating reflects their quality. Salchipapas went so flipping hard.Hello again, I tried the chicken parm wrap and the chicken+marinara melted in my mouth. The chicken was delicious and hot. Gonna try and eat everything there over time (except spicy food )Also the snicker bar was 25 cents cheaper than the lame rutger vending machines, but 25 cents more pricier than njit vending machine ?. It was $2.“

“Don't underestimate this place. I've been to 5 star restaurants and in my opinion this eatery shares some of the same qualities that I admire in upscale restaurants: consistency and deliciousness.

The people behind the register are friendly but quiet. I go here during week when I want something that is fresh and high in protein. They provide you with generous portions so if you workout and need a solid amount of protein and carbs this is my favorite in the area. I enjoy eating here more than Chipotle, higher quality meat with bolder flavors and they serve uniform portions of chicken. They don't cut corners here.

The chicken platter is my favorite and I highly recommend it to people wanting to try something new. With the chicken platter I enjoy the fresh zesty flavors of onions, tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and tzatziki sauce on the side. I recommend ordering an extra sauce with your order. WIth the colder months I'd also recommend the their lentil soup. It was really tasty!

Side note: I don't recommend the cheese burger. It's not their specialty. Stick with the chicken platter.“

“If you love Mediterranean food, looking for something new to try, or need a quick lunch for your break, Flame Chicken is the spot. I ordered the beef and lamb gyro platter and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. It was cooked to perfection. I also had the fresh mint tea which was great. Service is quick. The staff acknowledges you right away and very polite. The establishment is super clean and kid friendly. Prices are very fair, especially with today's economy. I cant wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.“

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

“Tequila Bistro Hosted One Incredible Night for Team Ed Rodriguez We recently held a meet-and-greet for Assembly candidate Ed Rodriguez at Tequila Bistro in Elizabeth—and let’s just say, Ed raved about the food beforehand, and he wasn’t wrong. From the moment we stepped into the warm, inviting space—with its glowing string lights, rich Spanish tiles, and that cozy outdoor patio—it was clear this was more than just a restaurant. It was an experience. The crowd came for conversation, but the Mediterranean and Spanish flavors stole the show. From the perfectly grilled seafood to the paella that had people going back for seconds (and thirds), every bite was unforgettable. The crab-stuffed salmon? Game-changer. And then there’s the bar—a destination in itself. Sophisticated, generous, and buzzing with good energy. The sangria flowed, the handcrafted cocktails were on point, and the vibes matched the moment. The staff made us feel like family. They handled a busy room full of guests with warmth, precision, and genuine hospitality.“

“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“

“Delicious Mediterranean food.“

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

“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!“

“Love those place. It was my first time here. We came a group of 5. The place is super clean. It’s a family restaurant. Everyone is super friendly. The food was amazing. Ordered humus with chips as an appetizer. We ordered a variety of things: Grilled mixed (chicken, lamb, beef with fries and rice), whole fish, salad 🥗 , eggplant. For dessert, it was a goatcheese with jce cream. Trust me and taste it. You can bring your own wine. Their Iced tea is good. Definitely coming back.“

“Jerry is the best! He is a special man! He takes pride in every dish. The baba ganoush is my favorite as well as his halvah! A lot more than that is delicious... Yes the falafel too! And it begins with coming into a welcoming, warm place (takeout with some outdoor tables) where people work hard! Prices are very reasonable. Just go and try it!“

“After a tasty round of appetizers including tangy baked Fava beans, creamy smooth hummus, baba ghanoush and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside falafel, we feasted on two lamb dishes, one of which was perfectly grilled, and an order of couscous with vegetables. I still remember today how great everything tasted. Service was friendly and efficient and the decor included lamps and accessories imported from Morocco. Portions were generous and they provide containers for the leftovers. You can only eat so much! Highly recommended.“

“Excellent service. What’s the owner name“

“We have been getting take-out from Falafel Hut for many many years. It’s a great option for a reasonably priced meal. We have had a variety of items from the menu and have been happy with them. We have also ordered for parties / group gathering and everyone was happy with the meal.

Kid-friendliness: If your kid wants chicken fingers and fries, their’s are good.“

“Service and food are excellent.“

“great food...love the waiters...always great service.“

“This is a great little café/diner right next to the Westfield train station. We are fairly new to Westfield and went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We were wowed by the wonderful customer service of our waitress, Cindy. She was very attentive, provided great order suggestions and also brought over their delicious housemade hot sauce to go along with our eggs. All the food we ordered was wonderful, including the short stack of chocolate chip pancakes, the egg and cheese sandwich on a hard roll, and the Florentine omelette. The chef (maybe owner?), Ash even stopped by later on towards the end of our meal to check on how everything was. We meant to write this review right after that, but then never got around to it and when we went back today a few weeks later, we realized how much we needed to write this up! This time Kirsten and Cindy both helped us out, and Cindy remembered us by our orders from the last time even though we had only been here one time- very impressive and shows a great attention to detail and customer service. Ash came by also, and it was clear he remembered us as well. The food was fresh and tasty yet again (we got the French toast, egg and cheese sandwich, and Greek omelette this time) and the prices are great. This place is a gem and is definitely becoming one of our go-to spots!“

“Great food and service, has been coming here almost daily lately! Definitely recommend the zinger sandwich 🙏🏻“

“Deliciously spicy and authentic Lebanese food . Fresh tasting Lebasnes and midlleeastern foods. including fusion like shawarma quesadilla!

One of the best falafels in recent memory as well, with an amazingly creamy and light, yet not bitter tahini sauce . Spinach sumac triangles and hummus excellent as well ! Haven't been in a while and will be coming back regularly!“

“Great food, great people!“

“A great spot with fresh and delicious food. Attentive staff. Great for delivery but my gal and I love to go there and enjoy the cozy little dining room. 5 stars.“
