When I finally got her attention for sour cream for my daughter's khinkali she said they ran out. Hard to believe. We brought a bottle of wine as parents said it was BYOB. Wrong. Turns out they just started serving a small selection of specialty wine, so now there was a corking fee - $30 added to the bill for each!! What!?! No sign or note on the menu. I would have put the bottle back in the car if I'd known. Didn't open the wine for us or offer an ice bucket, nothing, just added to the bill. Felt ripped-off and will never return.

The three fresh crabcakes are very small, but extremely tasty with their special Aioli Dressing. I would definitely order again! The grilled chicken wrap is very good too!

I was seriously craving an ube latte after being pretty disappointed by the one at Starbucks, so I…read moredid a little Instagram digging and found this spot. Safe to say--it was worth the trip. It's located in NJ and parking was super easy since they have their own lot. I stopped in on a quiet Wednesday morning and the space was really cute and welcoming. There are a few chairs, plus a cozy little lounge area by the front window with pillows that makes it feel like a nice spot to relax for a bit. I ordered the ube latte with matcha and grabbed a coconut macaroon for a quick snack. The latte was great--the ube flavor was just right, and the touch of matcha complemented it really well. I wish I had more time to stay and try some of their hot food, so I'll definitely be coming back to sample more of the menu soon! Thank

You can tell that the chef behind the counter in the kitchen pours his heart and soul into the food which he makes. They have a wide variety of Turkish delights including some beef stew which I cannot pronounce, beef and tomato entree, the lentil soup which I had a bowl of and so much more which I must try in the future. Everything is authentic Turkish style down to the Bal Kupü sugar cubes in a small bowl on the tables. I will be making this one of my favorite restaurants whenever I am in Paterson.

I enjoyed the red lentils soup, cacık, salad, rice, beef with eggplant, green beans with meat, and stuffed peppers. The rice pudding and complimentary tea was a lovely end to our meal. The only downside was that there was no menu or pricing shown so I was a little confused when ordering. Basically I pointed to the dishes and they put a scoop on the plate, Looking forward to visiting again!

We were greeted immediately upon entering and made to feel incredibly welcome in such a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The menu is impressive, offering a beautiful selection of everything from breakfast to dinner. I personally loved the blueberry pancakes, and the scrambled eggs were cooked to absolute perfection. My loved one thoroughly enjoyed the chicken scampi; the ingredients were clearly fresh and high-quality. Our only small note for next time would be to request a little extra spice to kick it up a notch, but the flavors were already spot on. A few other highlights: * Cream of Turkey Soup: Absolutely delicious and a must-try! * Reese's Pieces Cheesecake: We ended our Sunday evening with this, and it was the perfect finale. The plate was even decorated in such a festive way - it truly felt special. What really made the night, however, was our server, Alexandra. She was a total professional and an absolute gem. You can tell she is an asset to the team and well-loved by the regulars. Thank you so much for your warm hospitality. We already can't wait to return! God bless you all!

The appetizers were superb. The falafel, the kabab, the chicken, the Ouzi were done to perfection. Riham was courteous and kept the place open for us way beyond their closure time.

I had the lamb kebabs. They were very soft and good but could be better in terms of flavor. The chicken tikka was too salty. The bread is delicious and fresh. The fries were delicious and comes with a interesting turmeric/mustard type sauce. The pickled vegetables are an acquired taste; very salty. The quzi is lamb shank with rice and comes with either bean or okra soup. I liked the okra soup better since it had some acidity from the tomatoes. The lamb shank was very tender but I wish it came with some sauce or lemon. The rice is a bit sweet due to the rasins. The prices are a bit high but there are not many Iraqi restaurants in the region.
