“First time there for myself. My wife had been there recently for lunch. OMG, amazing. We started with their homemade, warm Pita with Babaganush (sp?). Awesome. I had their Arugala salad, which I like wherever I go. This was amazing as well. Then we had our entrees. None of us could finish our meals, they were so plentiful and delicious. We each took home doggy bags. We told them we couldn’t possibly eat desserts so we ordered some to go. They then brought out hot Turkish teas for us AND a plate of a custard for us to share. Delicious!!! WOW! This place jumped right up near the top of our list for favorite restaurants. We will definitely be back.“

“Had dinner here on a Friday well before closing. Upon arrival we noticed the restaurant was not terribly busy which was a plus figuring service would be faster boy were we wrong.

The server took our order and did not return once, a different server brought out our food. We have to flag a person down to get the check and observed our served just sitting at the bar or smoking, we waited for about half an hour. It really felt like we were bothering our server.

The food was wonderful though. I would give it one more chance.“

“Went this evening to try this new place as I was graving some shawarma. Had a beef shawarma that came with olives and pickles. Flavor was very authentic Middle Eastern in both the shawarma and pickles. I also had their fattoush which was very good. 2 people can easily be served from both the shawarma and fattoush! Overall, good food, nice place. Will be back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“the food is so delicious fast service always open great service good people“

“If you’re looking for some of the best Middle Eastern food in Newark, Kebab House is a must-visit.

The shawarma is outstanding—tender, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly every time. Whether in a wrap or on a platter, it’s packed with flavor and always fresh. The kebabs are juicy and grilled just right, making every bite satisfying.

Their hummus is smooth, creamy, and full of authentic taste—perfectly paired with warm pita. You can really tell everything is made with care and quality ingredients.

The ambience is warm and welcoming, with a clean, comfortable setup that makes it great for both quick lunches and relaxed dinners. The staff is friendly and attentive, which adds to the overall experience.

Portion sizes are generous, prices are fair, and the food is consistently excellent.

Highly recommended if you’re craving delicious kebabs, shawarma, and hummus in Newark. I’ll definitely be coming back! 🌯🔥“
