We were in Flemington and decided to have a late lunch. The web site had an attractive selection of items and caught our attention. We are so glad we chose to dine there. From the greeting, to the service and the menu options we were pleasantly surprised. For us this was a high value choice. The food was superb, the Spanakopita with it's layers of pastry and fresh spinach was wonderful. The roasted eggplant in the Mesakka was easily my wife's favorite item. For us it is a two hour trip to Flemington but we are looking for a reason to bring family and return to the area just to share this experience. A side note, the server, Summer, did a fantastic job making us feel welcome and part of the family. To top everything off we finished our meal with "Cakes in a Can". The owner's wife, Yara, apparently spends hours each day making these attractive and tasty treats. I had the Raspberry and Pistacio. They are right to be very proud of her efforts. I recommend this experience, if you are ever near FLemington and want to enjoy Egyptian and Greek cusine this is the place to go. Thank you for the experience, from Joyce and Bill. read more

This place is excellent! The food was delicious (we had several salads, both chicken and lamb souvlaki which came with rice, salad abd french fries, hummus, baba ganoush, spicy feta with pita bread ...) The coffee was so strong and nice, and came in the cutest cups and saucers that looked like purses. And there are cake parfaits (photo below) in a variety of flavors. I had pistachio and chocolate, my sister had the strawberry shortcake - everything was fresh and flavorful. They can accomodate larger groups but it is best to call ahead as it is a popular place. The staff was also very nice! read more

I recently visited this Egyptian restaurant in Flemington, and I feel like more people should know that it's been under new ownership for the past few years. It's such a great local spot, and I don't think enough people realize what it is or how good it's become. My mom and I stopped in for lunch and sat outside on Main Street, which was honestly so lovely. It felt really special to just sit, enjoy a great meal, and be part of the community. We met Mo, who took such great care of us and made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. We started with the hummus, which was incredibly fresh and smooth, and you could tell everything was made with care. For our mains, we had the lamb chops and the lemon chicken, both of which were delicious. The lamb was tender and perfectly cooked, and the lemon chicken had such a bright, balanced flavor. The potatoes were a standout, roasted and finished in a lemon butter that made them unforgettable. If you haven't been in a while, or didn't realize there's been a change, it's definitely worth stopping in. Main Street businesses could really use the support, and this place is one that deserves it. Go say hi to Mo and give it a try. read more

Picked up a Too Good to Go bag and was charmed by their decor and atmosphere. The employee was pleasant and explained they were trying out new items to add to their menu. There were two lunch portions and a whole container of fries, chicken souvlaki was so flavorful and the falafel was crunchy and tender! We will try dinner next! read more

I had chicken that was so dry I actually choked on it. My husband( Charles, I'm Brenda ) had octopus, calamari and shrimp. You know that was expensive! It was so overcooked he said it was like chewing on rubber bands. It never broke down. He basically had to swallow it. Worse experience ever!!! read more

Ray loved the cheesesteak sandwich, the veg platter was good but my lamb kebab with tahini sauce was not good. There was a lot of grizzle with some pieces like gum, it just didn't break down. The two stars are for my experience alone. read more

Great food! Had the gyro platter. Filling and very tasty. Great Egyptian coffee - but it is very strong! Friendly staff.

Excellent freshly made food. I got babaganoush with pita bread and Gamberi so yummy! Service was excellent, I sat outside and my waitress was the hostess so not fast but it was worth it! I will def be back! read more

Important to know that this restaurant has many options for food. Traditional to the region to American breakfast. Service was great and the inside was filled with art. The food was freshly cooked and took time. I got eggs with meat, to feed my keto diet. The pita with the dip was delicious but everything else was okay. Next time I'll get the traditional dishes to give this restaurant another chance. read more

This place is amazing!! Every dish is fresh and delicious - and so much variety! Will come again.

5 stars, found this place by accident on Yelp while on route to New Hope Pennsylvania. This is a nice cozy spot in the heart of Flemington NJ. Great courteous service by Tito. One of the owner Mo, stopped by our table to ask how things were. He was engaging and genuine. The food was very good. This was a quick bite as I had dinner planned for about 4 hours from this lunch. Started with the falafel balls which came with Hummus. They had great flavor and it was a good portion. Sampled 2 salads, these were the bistro salad and the beet salad. Both were great ( see photos). All the food is fresh, not frozen, and made with love according to Mo. He was extremely proud and I definitely enjoyed the experience. Their brunch menu looks amazing and I can't wait to come back for brunch. Highly recommended and hope they do well. Well trained staff will not disappoint. read more

I found Bistro 55 on Yelp. It had great reviews and now I know why. It's just a little place in a strip of stores right on Main St Flemington. Easy to find. It's decorated super cute and the bathrooms are clean. You can ByO , which we did and they gave us wine glasses. The food was so good! We got a 3 dip platter for an appetizer to share and then we split a mix grill platter for dinner. Everything was delicious and flavorful! We tried some dips we had not tried before and they were great! Our waiter was super nice and the service was excellent. read more

We went last year and the food was underwhelming. We recently decided to give it another try in order to patronize local restaurants. The food and service were fine - no issues - but the prices are pretty ridiculous. $9 for a bottle of sparkling water and $25 for a small/medium avocado salad with a few pieces of salmon. Pretty tasty food, but overpriced! read more

My husband and I have been to Bistro 55 - Mediterranean Restaurant several times and have been pleased every time. The food is always delicious and the service is outstanding!! We highly recommend this wonderful restaurant. read more

Hard pass. I had the Gyro platter. My wife had 2 sides. Food was a C- at best. The whole experience from ordering, picking it up and eating it was just not good. read more

Catered from here, food was to die for. They gave us trays of mixed grilled meat, steak, chicken, lamb, rice and french fries. We had hummus and pita platter, chopped salad, orzo and lemon soup, Spanakopita, Garlic Shrimp, grilled veggiesand lemon potatoes. Even the people who said they didn't care for Mediterranean Food changed their minds and thought everything was delicious. We all fought for the left overs read more

Food has been outstanding every time we go. We enjoy trying all the different options. The server was very attentive and prompt.

I came across Bistro 55 searching for a restaurant in the Flemington area. The high ratings and menu options appealed to me. Thankfully, the reviews were on point. The service was great, and the staff was patient in dealing with the other members of my party. The food was fresh, presented nicely, and delicious. There were options for even the pickiest of eaters. I would eat here again! read more

Amazing food, amazing service! We just did a random search for restaurants in Flemington and found this place. Highly recommend to anyone in the area! I did the Mixed Grill which was over the top. Had to bring home the extras which was enough for the next day. read more

The service was excellent. We came for dinner at 6pm on a Friday night and the street wasn't crowded, so parking was really easy. The restaurant was fairly empty. There were black table cloths with faux candles on each table, so the overall ambience was cozy. The food was delicious. I got the gyro platter and it was amazing. The rice was a little on the dry side, but still good. I think the fries were seasoned with some kind of blend, so they look dark but are not overcooked. The gyro meat was flavorful and amazing. I would come back! read more

Delicious food, excellent service, and beautiful ambiance. Attentive owner who made us feel like we were at home during our visit. Food was superb, excellent spicing. We experienced food that we would not have ever tried until we got to this wonderful Egyptian restaurant. Lots of Vegetarian options, as well. Can't wait to go back! read more

An authentic Greek style restaurant with friendly service and a delicious menu of choices.

This little place is a nice surprise. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. David, our waiter, was also warm & friendly but gave you space to enjoy the food. My husband enjoyed his salmon very much. I had a platter , Shaah (?), with different meat kebabs, grilled veggies, rice and a tahini sauce, plus some french fries. It was really good as everything was well seasoned and the sauce was delicious. I took my leftovers home. We even tried the pistachio baklava which was delicious!! Totally worth a visit and perhaps if the price is high go for lunch. I heard breakfast is good too. read more

This is a brand new restaurant in an old space. They are now serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The interior color scheme has been changed from the previous establishment to be a little more vibrant. They can use some decor on the walls and maybe some curtains to make it feel a little cozier overall. We came during breakfast time. There was only one other table occupied while we were there. The complimentary starter was very tasty. It tastes very similar to hummus but I think it contained some bean other than chick peas. Our waitress didn't tell us what it was and I forgot to ask. First thing I noticed is that there are no pork products available so don't expect your bacon, Taylor ham or pork sausage for breakfast. They do offer beef or Turkey alternatives though. I ordered a customized egg white omelet with spinach, tomatoes and onions and a little bit of cheddar cheese. It was served with potatoes. Everything tasted delicious and was presented nicely. The only problem was that I requested cheddar and I'm 99% certain I received an American cheese product. No biggie - it was still tasty. The staff was very pleasant and eager to please. You should come give it a try for yourself. If you do, be patient, as the kitchen is VERY slow at this point as I'm assuming they're still figuring things out. I would definitely come back to try the lunch and dinner options in the hopes that they have some Egyptian options available (they're the same owners as Little Egypt down the road . . . ) read more

Holy yum! I've been here 3 times. Breakfast was amazing! Lunch was delicious, and dinner was fantastic. The owner is very accommodating to my food sensitivities and even has gluten free bread available to replace pita. All the meals had fresh ingredients and everything tasted very homemade. read more

My family and I have dined at Bistro 55 three times before I reached out to the owner about doing a private event, my husband's birthday party, at the restaurant. I thought there might be a chance that I would not be able to do it because of my budget but Moe, the owner, worked with me on menu items, service, and timing of the event. We just had the party today and it was a huge success. The food was amazing, service was top-notch, the restaurant was spotless, we even had some bubble tea. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the meal and atmosphere and many have said they would be back to dine in. A+++ for making my husband's birthday such a success. Special thank you to Bistro 55! We'll be back. read more

So the waiter was very nice. And the pistachio baklava was very good. But sadly that is where it ended for us. They only offer single bottles of still or sparkling water which is pay per bottle. Sodas are canned and again pay per. We ordered three dips for an appetizer and got basically one serving pita which some of the edges were stale on it. It wasn't enough bread for the amount of dip so we asked for more, $4 for another single serving of pita bread. The dips were ok. Then our meals came, the one platter the seafood was over cooked but seasoned ok. Lemon chicken was ok. The gyro platter was good portion size but the meat was just ok. The large salad was disappointing, absolutely drowned in a too tart balsamic glaze and it didn't come with a cheese like some others did so when asked for some feta again another additional fee plus for the price of a large salad the portion size was small. The desserts were the highlight crème brûlée and baklava were good. Then when check came again if you use card an additional 3% fee is added. While I understand fees for card usage are hard for businesses they automatically added it to the receipt so it looked like an item ordered. Way too expensive for a less than mediocre meal. read more

Over price and not worth it. Very disappointed. I had the gyro- pita was hard and very little meat. If you can't do something so basic right i can't imagine the other lunches are worth it read more

This past Thursday, we went to Bistro 55on Main Street Flemington for an early dinner. What a wonderful meal we had! One of the owners, Moe, served us. What an incredibly nice man. He made sure every part of our meal was enjoyable. We ordered the spanakopita and three Pyramids for appetizers. Loved the eggplant Mesakaa the most. My spouse ordered a gyro platter which was delicious and plentiful. I ordered the lamb kabobs. Again, outstanding. The rice that comes with the meal was a showstopper! Dessert was also very good with key lime pie and mango pudding. Little did we know that Tuesday and Thursday are over 55 discount days. 15% off! What an unexpected surprise. We will definitely be coming back, often! read more

My 3rd visit and this time I came for breakfast. It was excellent! The food service, and prices were on par with local diners. They also have a breakfast special from Monday-Friday for $8.95. Will definitely come back. The ambiance was very relaxing with Egyptian music softly playing in the background. Outdoor seating is also available. read more

Just came here for lunch. The food was delicious and the service was great. I got the stuffed grape leaves, stuffed peppers and pickled vegetables. Everything had great flavor. They serve free bread and hummus to start which was really good. The bread was a little on the sweet side which is probably the only thing I didn't love. read more

Looking for something full of flavour then this is the place for you. First time here but we'll be back for the buffet to sample everything. We had the Gyro platter, spinach pie and salad, Egyptian coffee and baklava. Everything was delicious. The wait staff were amazing, offering up suggestions. Great atmosphere, and BYO is always great for larger crowds. It is cozy, reasonably priced and a great way to support local businesses. We'll be back! read more

Had the most incredible dinner . I can't wait to go back. The service was great. The atmosphere was so fun and very nice. Every detail was perfect. I loved the spicy feta and octopus app. The lemon chicken dish was great. The kids meal portions are very generous as are the apps and entrees. I savored every bite and have left overs! I want 3 orders of the octopus next time ! read more

Had an amazing lunch here yesterday with my sister in law! Being in my third tri pregnant with twins, I was ready to EAT & my SIL was down for the ride. We had a series of appetizers, from the falafel, to the pyramid trio consisting of spicy feta, batates, & mesakaa, the bang bang shrimp, the octopus, & the spanakopita, everything was delicious. Our server did not disappoint with the great recommendations and service. We finished off the meal with rice pudding & baklava which were equally delicious. We didn't feel at all rushed and sat for a while to catch up. We'll definitely be back! read more

Randomly picked Sunday breakfast at Bistro 55. Lots of menu item that were traditional breakfast , but then the variety of omelets is the difference. Start with the coffee, not a diner version, but good flavor rich coffee. The eggs Benedict was cooked perfect with home-made hollandaise sauce that was perfect. The protein omelet was delicious with short rib meat and veggies. There is no pork option, so beef bacon was a first for us. It was very good. We will be back soon for dinner as the menu look fantastic. read more

We had a variety of dishes. The Egyptian salad was delicious and authentic. The grilled shrimp was so delicious which included 3 large shrimp. I also enjoyed the mesakaa. The whole bronzini was also delicious it was prepared with a lemon caper sauce and butterflied open with delicious seasonings. To finish off, we had delicious creamy buklava. The waitress named, Rose, was lovely and took very good care of us. I highly recommend Bistro 55. read more
