“My wife and I met another couple for dinner last night at roses. I was searching for a restaurant on yelp in the Englewood area as it was halfway between our friends and I. Made a reservation for 530 and when we showed up we were the only customers in the restaurant. not a lot of atmosphere, but clean. The menu looked interesting. We ordered hummus & Babaganoush To share, I had the mixed grill, my friend had the Rosies mixed grill. My wife had the Shawarma and her other friend had the chicken kebab. Everything was fresh, moist, and excellent, particularly the Shawarma. One other family of three came in while we're eating, but otherwise, the restaurant was empty. Our server was attentive and respectful, and took good care of us. He told us that they are usually very crowded on the weekends - understandable since it was Monday of a holiday weekend. We will definitely be back again !“

“Wow!! Small little place. Was in ENGLEWOOD and was told to check this place out. Glad we did. Everything was delicious. We started with Humnus with mushrooms which was outstanding. Came with fresh pita .They started us off with complementary bread and hummus with Amba. Amba is a peach sauce. Was outstanding. I went with a chicken Schwarma in a Laffa I highly recommended this restaurant“

“Excellent food, a bit on the pricy side compared to other Greek places around but great food. The moussaka was great, served in a small dish, definitely worth sharing. We ordered daily speciality and were not disappointed. Our sever was lovely, she had a very authentically welcoming vibe, could be the Greek hospitality; but I loved how genuine she presented herself, the staff was lovely as well.“

“We've been to Casa Limone many times, usually for lunch. The Executive Lunch on weekdays is our choice every time. The portion is just right and the salmon crudo and soup are always great choices. My wife and I split dessert and the gianduja is wonderful. Service at Casa Limone is always terrific from bussers to servers. Casa Limone is our go-to whenever we look for lunch in midtown.“

“I visited the Yemeni restaurant run by Chef Jamal and it was an excellent and more than wonderful experience. Yemeni dishes are characterized by rich and unique flavors, which attracts many other nationalities to try them. Also, Yemeni dishes rely on natural and healthy ingredients, which makes them a healthy choice for people who care about healthy nutrition. The quality of Yemeni cooking is what attracts all non-Yemenis who taste it.After eating...don't forget to try the areca - very, very delicious“

“a great experience . high quality food“

“We sat outside. Our party was served quickly and efficiently. Food was very good.“

“Very nice restaurant. Just honest ingredients with excellent flavors. Service was great, attentive but not pushy (unlike some other restaurants). Go here for proper food and a general nice evening.Had the mezes and NY tenderloin steak, both good dishes. Nice steak that comes without fuzz (butter, unnecessary sauces etc).“

“We had dinner at White Olive Restaurant with my guests, the ambiance and decor are magnificent. The service was very good, Everything was on time, the cocktails and food are truly incredibly delicious, I can easily recommend this place to everyone, the menu prices are very reasonable.“

“My wife and I have been looking for a place to enjoy some Mediterranean staples, and we’re so glad we found Kilim. Firstly, the restaurant is beautifully decorated, wherein you can feel the passion and love the owner has for their space. The food was beyond delicious. Highly recommend the babaganus, I could have ate buckets of it if given the opportunity. Everything tasted fresh and was so flavorful from the bread service to the dessert. And lastly, the service was impeccable. The restaurant was very busy, and the waitstaff made us feel like we were their main priority from the moment we walked in. Truly a hidden gem tucked away in an unassuming location, we cannot recommend Kilim enough.“

“We would like to thank the Avra Team for the wonderful experience we had celebrating our son's 1 year old birthday and his grandparents 40th wedding anniversary. Beautiful place for special celebration! Sophisticated ambience, attentive staff, exceptional service, delicious Greek food! We highly recommend making reservation in advance!“

“Came here on a Saturday night with reservations. Very lively. Waiters were attentive. The shrimp saganaki was flavorful. The octopus was exceptional. The lamb chop was delicious. Wasn’t a big fan of the baked clams. They were too oily and not fresh. I don’t think the waiter seemed to care when my friend told him. However, we had a good time as the drinks were good.“

“My husband and I went to Zaffron Bloom two days ago. We ordered Shashlik Kebab, which was very tasty. Zaffron Bloom is a family-owned business, and the staff were friendly and kind; they even brought us a complimentary Shirazi salad and appetizer.I look forward to going there again to try more of their delicious food, as they have many options on their menu.“

“I was in the city with two friends and we were referred to this lovely little restaurant serving traditional Turkish fare. I wasn't too hungry but I always order Lebane which is my taste test for I like the food. It was delicious. As was the cold eggplant appetizer. My friend ordered the shephards salad and arrived with bright healthy portions with fresh tomatoes (how??) and cucumbers. Dressing was a red wine combination and complemented the salad. I would have like olives on it but it was fine. Another friend order the phyllo cheese straws which were perfection. Hard to eat only one! And she ordered the lamb chops which were tender and yummy. Perfectly cooked. Very fair priced all the way around. Service was excellent. Ambiance was cozy. Finale was perfectly cooked pistachio/walnut baklava. Lightly syruped and light and buttery heaven!! A must. This will be our go to place for future visits. Thank you for a lovely end to our great day at the theater!!“

“Had a 'dinner' of appetizers here with the family. Something for everyone-from the vegan, the vegetarian, to the carnivores. We enjoyed the fava beans dish, loved the liver and sweet reads, and the meatballs. Atmosphere was quiet, and the spot is small, so for a larger group-we we're 5 people, I'd make a reservation. Food came out super fast, and the staff was very friendly. Next time we will try the dishes.“

“The best authentic Lebanese food in NYC. A must-try. All there food is fresh and delicious and very generous quantities. Their Shawarma is soooo good, you can eat it in bowl or a sandwich with lots of yummy toppings. I also tried their falafel and it was super good!“

“It's the best Hummus, Labane, Babaganosh“

“Atmosphere, amazing! Food, top! Jeffrey, BRAVISSIMO!“

“Stop by if you are looking for best place for fresh vegetarian options; they also have many options to make it spicy! Toddler approved too; my kid loved their fresh hummus, pita chips and falafel. Alan who helped us with the order was amazing with the service and recommendations. Must try!“

“Nisi's atmosphere is immaculate--all white interior and the sounds of beautiful Greek music. The service was great too and they were helpful to tell us that the lemon potatoes are vegan! Menu clearly marked to show vegetarian options. The horiatiki salad and the fresh galaktoboureko were my personal favorites. Food on the pricier end, but then again, it's a whole lot cheaper than a flight to Greece...Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available, but somewhat limited to mezzes (appetizers)“

“Best Ethiopian cuisine I’ve had outside of Ethiopia! Service was great, atmosphere was vibrant, live music, open mic, poetry this place has it all!“

“What a fabulous experience we had! The food was simply amazing and fresh and perfectly prepared. The service was excellent and the restaurant itself is beautiful! I wish I had taken more pictures but I think the fact that I didn’t just proves how immersed our group was in the experience. Simply devine and I cannot wait to return next time I’m in the city!Dietary restrictions: We had someone in our party who was gluten free and they took good care of her and she had plenty of options to choose from.“

“Great place Wonderful food Good service“

“This place is amazing. We’ve been here twice already for lunch and loved the experience. The server was very attentive and welcoming. The food was just delicious, with the perfect portions and sides. We had the chicken shish kebab, salmon with house salad, and humus. All 10/10. I would definitely recommend and will be coming back!“

“Went today for the first time, wonderful staff and the food was incredible. Great size portions, every part of our meal was delicious. Cannot wait to go back again. Well worth the ride from Ramsey. NJ“

“Fantastic!! What a fun evening we had! Such a great neighborhood find. Started with happy hour cocktails at the bar. The cocktail menu is fabulous, the drinks were inventive, delicious, and presented beautifully. Bartenders were helpful, friendly, and made sure we loved our cocktails. Dinner was delicious! We were a group of four and shared a Greek salad, grilled octopus, lamb chops, and Branzino. Everything was incredible, with plenty for 4. Our waiter kept an eye on us and made sure we were well taken care of. The restaurant is very attractive inside, had a nice crowd, and noise level was good even when very full. We will be back, and often. Prices are very fair. The staff here are really great, makes a difference!“

“Delicious, delicious, DELICIOUS!“

“Bustan is a must if you are looking for delicious middle eastern cuisine. It’s authentic and sophisticated with rich flavors. Our favorites were the kebabs, Moroccan fish, gem salad, cauliflower, hummus, labneh, and the pitas were perfect. The malabi and chocolate cake are also excellent. Definitely come here or even order from here!!“

“Creative take on Mediterranean food Fantastic“

“Nice Turkish restaurant. Reasonably priced.“

“Great Lunch… Izzy our waiter went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our lunch. We go here frequently and always a good meal and very accommodating.“

“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!“

“First time visiting this restaurant everything was delicious. The service was great. I had a recommend dining at this great establishment.“

“Nice atmosphere, really tasty and cheap meals. We had lunch, 2 people for $26 which is great for the area. Very generous plates and burritos, with drink included and little carrot cake for desert. Only if you really eat a lot will be able to finish the plate! Recommend!!“

“Nice Place“

“LOVE this restaurant, and the folks that work here are tops. Ravagh Persian Grill was introduced to me by my Persian bestie whose mom used to make me the stews I love. My favorite stew is the Khoresh Fesenjan, but I also love getting the Sultani Kebob. And top it off with the Faloodeh at the end. YUM. It's a lovely neighborhood spot with authentic dishes. The quality of the food was superb and always fresh. Thank you to the staff for taking good care of us.Vegetarian options: There is plenty to eat even if you are veg!!Kid-friendliness: YES - kids are welcome!“

“Had a gathering today w approx 30 family and friends, the food from start to finish was beyond SUPERB, they truly deserve Zagat rating. The fried calamari was better than Greece stated by my sister in law who was there in September, antipasto, appetizers, fish, chicken kabob on skewers were tremendous we couldn't get enough we were licking our fingers. I personally would rate them at 10, the owner Jenny is a gem. Will be back to try their grilled Octopus.Parking: Private parking lot in back of building, not a long walk if you know how to park at least 20 cars.“

“Great spot for a date night! Highly recommend.“

“Outstanding! Super comfort-chic vibe and great ambiance all around. Management, servers, et all were A plus. Passover pre fixe and A la carte were just perfect. Matzah hall soup and gefilte fish app platter were superb! A definite go to again!“

“Great service, friendly staff, and delicious food“

“Cello is a cozy spot with a decent selection of drinks (beer, wine, spirits) and small plates. The interior is really charming, with wood and exposed brick making it feel more like a relative's home than a bar in midtown Manhattan. There's bar seating, and a few small tables. Overall not many seats, expect a wait if you try to come at peak times. Drinks were fine -- good beer selection and a list of cocktails that was balanced, without being overwhelming. Service was excellent, the bartenders were very friendly. Definitely worth a visit for a more intimate get together or a date!“
