Having lived in Montréal I've been wanting to find a good Lebanese restaurant in jersey…read more Thyme Machine was a nice surprise. A modest place with a couple of seats by the counter but they cook up a mean wrap. The delicious chicken taouk brought back great memories of well... being young and enjoying amazing food. Almost as awesome were the crispy fries and the beef shwarma. The flavors were great and rather unique and hard to find. The owner Abdul is a character. Very welcoming and friendly he even gave us a sample of his delicious Lebanese coffee. Super strong with no after taste, its too bad it was already afternoon otherwise I would have downed all of it.

Stopped in for lunch while I was in town and saw all of the food reviews so I had to try. First,…read morethe man at the register was super nice. He was welcoming and eager to help even though their AC was broken and it was a million degrees in there. The staff were still hard at work. I ordered the chicken taouk wrap, some labneh and some tabouleh. I saw all of the photos where the wrap had a good amount of chicken however I felt like mine was lacking with the meat. It had a couple of fries in the wrap and some veggies. I would have liked to have a little extra veggies and chicken in there. The flavor was excellent either way. Next time, I would put the sauce/mayo on the side next time because it was too much for me. The tabouleh was fresh and very good, as well as the labneh. Overall, I would definitely return for the flavors and the hospitality.

Huge also... def a shareable. One thing they def do well here is their bread. The complementary bread and the olive oil was super good. The yogurt chicken shish was a miss. You can tell from the picture . It was bread soaked in tomato sauce (not great tomato sauce either) with some yogurt and pieces of chicken breast. The chicken tasted like it was heated up and not freshly cooked. It tasted more weird Italian than Turkish. Maybe I just got the wrong thing. If I lived here I would give it another chance. The bread was amazing and I'm sure their desserts and good. Seems family run and they were very nice.

The red sauce isn't super spicy. The rice is very well seasoned. The raw white onions on the platter are seasoned with something that I didn't love but it was still good. Bummed they were out of garlic naan. Extra sauce is 2 cups for a dollar (well worth it). Husband said the lamb was delicious.

Greek Salad with cubechicken - 4/5…read more The Greek salad with grilled chicken was absolutely delicious. The lettuce was fresh and crisp, and the tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and feta cheese were all fresh and flavorful. The grilled chicken cubes were juicy, tender, and seasoned perfectly. The salad was beautifully presented, and the olive oil and lemon dressing brought everything together. My only complaint is that the grilled chicken portion was extremely small, especially considering the price. I would also have liked a slightly larger overall salad. Despite that, the quality and flavor were excellent, and I would definitely order it again. Hummus - 5/5 The hummus was smooth, creamy, and full of fresh flavor. It paired perfectly with the bread and was one of our favorite appetizers. Beautiful presentation, excellent taste, and very fresh. I just wish the serving size had been a bit larger. Calamari - 3/5 The calamari was served as tiny strips instead of rings, but it was crispy and cooked well. The homemade dipping sauce was absolutely amazing--the best calamari sauce I've ever had! The only disappointment was the portion size, which was very small for the price. Even so, the incredible sauce made this appetizer memorable, and I'd order it again just for that. Chicken Chops - 5/5 The grilled chicken was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The rice and vegetables were fresh and complemented the meal well. Everything looked beautiful on the plate. The only drawback was that the portion was smaller than expected for the price. Baklava - 4/5 The baklava was fresh, flaky, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. The pistachios tasted fresh, and it was a wonderful way to end the meal. Delicious dessert! But super small Overall Restaurant Review - 4/5 We had a wonderful dining experience at Namli Mediterranean & Turkish Cuisine. The restaurant was spotless, the staff was friendly and attentive, and every dish arrived beautifully presented. Everything we ordered was fresh and absolutely delicious. The only reason I didn't give it a perfect experience is that the portions are quite small for the price. If they offered slightly larger portions, it would be outstanding. Despite that, we would definitely return and highly recommend it for the quality of the food, excellent service, and clean, welcoming atmosphere.

We started with the baba ganoush, which was creamy, smoky, and came with this HUGE warm, freshly baked bread covered in sesame and nigella seeds. The bread alone was worth it. For our mains, we tried a mix of grilled meats and kebabs. Everything came out hot, juicy, well seasoned and nicely charred from the grill. The plates were loaded with rice, salad, grilled vegetables and pickled cabbage and the portions were very generous. You definitely won't leave hungry. Service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed. Between the food, portions and service, I really couldn't complain about anything. We left full and happy and would absolutely come back. Easy 5 stars for me.

The menu is perfect for sharing family-style, and we especially loved the complimentary puffy bread (which is even better with an order of one of their dips!). Our group shared a few appetizers along with the Sultan Plate (large meat platter for 4-6 people), which comes with a dramatic flame presentation and a generous assortment of meats. Everything was flavorful and we all enjoyed trying the different varieties. The adana kebab was one of my personal favorites. We were also pleasantly surprised by how spacious the restaurant is. There are two beautiful private dining rooms near the front that'd be perfect for a party. In general, highly recommend dining here with a group!
