Went for Weekday Lunch Special Food - 5/5. Lentil soup had a smooth texture with a rich broth. The flavor was made more refreshing with some drops of lemon. Bread was soft but a bit plain without any form of spread or drip. Adana kebab was rich with meaty flavors, nice charring, vibrant colors and great seasoning. Salad was a nice side with the lightly pickled red cabbage adding a sour kick. Rice was fluffy and buttery. Service - 4/5. Courteous and swift. Value - 3/5. Although the food is good, the portion and offerings are small compared to the many local competitors. They only offer a soup/salad option while others offer an additional cold appetizer and a beverage of choice. The price is also slightly higher than the others in the area so there is some loss in terms of dollar value. Parking - Street (Metered) read more

I have been a customer for about two years. Typically I order takeout at least once or twice a month. When the food arrives the delivery person is always pleasant and the food is hot. I expected that when I decided to pick up my food the evening of August 13. I ordered my food using a GrubHub and requested that my food be done by 7 p.m. I arrived exactly at 7 PM. Upon my arrival, I encountered a very rude and abrupt female server.I simply asked for my take out and she was absolutely annoyed and completely unhelpful about getting my order. Finally a young man who was a server came out and he was a lot more pleasant and he found my order. When I got home and started to eat my dinner, the food was cold. In the past I've always enjoyed the food from this restaurant. Hopefully this is just a one off experience. However, due to my experience this evening I'm going to try some other Mediterranean restaurants in my area. read more

A cute little spot in Cliffside. They have traditional decor that adds to the experience. The food was good too! Tender, juicy chicken which is rare for Turkish restaurants to have. With the current COVID-19 pandemic they have outdoor seating with lights hanging above, creating a cute little seating area. read more

A great place for Turkish salads and an array of really good appetizers. For the entrees, I have enjoyed the baked half eggplant stuffed with a delicious ground lamb mixture. read more

Absolutely excellent. I would highly recommend. The hummus was creamy and delicious, the meets were grilled to perfection. I cannot understand why there was nobody in the restaurant. Healthy and delicious. Reasonably priced and great selection read more

Ordered the eggplant and mixed kebabs. While the mixed kebabs were good, eggplant was very disappointing for the $15 price. I'm sure the other items taste good but will not spend 45 bucks for mediocre food. 11/3/17 Gave another try for 11.95 lunch special Lentil soup - bland as hell! Who screw up lentil soup? Lamb Adana kebab was very good but hardly got me full. Last time - not again read more

I've been going here for years. So happy to see they extended the restaurant. My boyfriend and I had dinner at an outside table not to long ago and it was everything. The food never disappoints. I always get the baba ghanoush and the chicken and lamb combo. We got the platter to share with 4-5 different types of meats with rice and salad. You cannot forget baklava and Turkish coffee. Always a must to end the meal. I always recommend this restaurant to everyone and usually order take out for birthday dinners. This place will always be a must for me. read more

Came here on a quiet weekday evening for a casual dinner. We were greeted to a cozy, dimly lit restaurant with comfortable pillow laden seating areas and small, ornately textured lighting fixtures. For the price I paid for my dish, the food was unfortunately a little lackluster. The boiled cabbage was filled with boiled ground lamb and other muted herbs, and was accompanied by a tangy yet plain yogurt sauce. The tomato sauce on top was, again, bland in flavor. My fiancée's chicken kebab and adana plate tasted better, carrying lemony overtones with some spices mixed into the chicken. My menu choice is most likely not indicative of the quality of their food as a whole, and should be taken as such. I hope that another encounter at this place will leave me with a better experience. read more

Wow! This place was amazing. Very authentic. We got the platter that comes with all different meats and rice and bulgar. Definitely a good deal. The shepherds salad was probably the best I've ever had, just wish places wouldn't charge extra for feta cheese because it's a necessity! The pita with oil is delicious. Overall great experience and great food. Definitely will come back read more

One of the best Turkish restaurants in the area. Everything is made daily with fresh ingrediants. We usually order take out and they make everything on point. Staff is friendly and tge place is super clean. The owner, Mr. Tunch is on top of his job to serve the best quality food to his customers. We previously had an issue with our catering order but he reached out and apologized. He went above and beyond to make everything perfect for our next event. I highly recommend this place for all turkish food lovers. They have the Best Adana and mezzes. read more

Located on Palisade Ave in Cliffside park. There is metered street parking available in front of the restaurant. I came for lunch, so I was able to find parking pretty easily, but I think during dinner hours parking might be hard to come by in this area. Was excited to try this restaurant, due to the Yelp reviews. The lunch menu looked very enticing and priced moderately. I had some difficulty choosing what to eat, because several dishes looked appetizing. With the lunch menu, all dishes come with your choice of salad or soup. I chose the salad. The dressing was a little vinegary, but nonetheless a good appetizer. I decided on the chicken shish kebob with rice for the main course. The chicken was very tender and seasoned well. I didn't need any additional sauce for the meat. The rice was fluffy and flavorful. The taste of both the chicken and rice was very fresh and good. The portions weren't bad, although I would have liked a larger portion. Understandably its lunch, so the portions aren't that big. Will be back to try more lunch menu items or perhaps even dinner, for larger portions. read more

The food here is always on point. I always do party catering from them and they never disappoint. My guests always say how good the food is! Tunch is very helpful and is very accommodating with setting up a catering order. It's also my go to spot in the area to eat-in Turkish. I recommend it for anyone who is looking to try this type of cuisine! read more

Delivery Review! Ordered deliver on a Sunday night just a little before 6pm. Food came at 6:30pm. Super quick! Especially since I was expecting it to take an hour. We ordered the fried calamari and mix kebab platter. Everything was nice and warm upon delivery. Don't order the fried calamari for delivery. Flavor is super good but it's not crispy. I mean, it's to be expected (since it's delivery) but there was no sign of it being crispy. BUT flavor was on point so I'm positive if you order it at the restaurant, it'll be superb. The mix platter. Heaven. Sooooo good!!!! My favorite out of what we got was the lamb adana kebab. Flavor and texture was yum! The pattie, chicken and lamb shish kebab were delicious as well. And I really enjoyed the rice! You basically won't be disappointed with whatever you order here!!! We will def be ordering and/or dining in again soon! read more

Recently realized that I have been to this place many times, but never wrote a review. It's one of my favorite places in north jersey so a must mention. The place got popular so if you plan to go on a Saturday night, make sure to make a reservation or have a backup plan before you go in. They get fully booked on weekends. My favorites on the menu are the fried liver and shepherd salad. The fried liver has flour in the original recipe so we ask them to make it without it because we are gluten free. The salad is awesome. This time I tried the babaganush and it's going on my list also. For the main dish I usually go for lamb with French fries and salad. All my fish eating family members enjoyed the fish. The space is small and set up with a home like feel. You can often find the owner and his family there. They even dine there sometimes. I like seeing that because it makes me think that the kitchen cooks for guests how they would for themselves. They must at least use the same ingredients. read more

First Time Diner and humongous new fan of this delicious Turkish spot. My wife had the chicken kebab which was moist, perfectly cooked, and seasoned and could be easily sliced with a spoon. Unbelievably delicious! I had a lamb dumpling from the chef's specialty section of the menu. It came with a garlic yogurt sauce which was Heaven on Earth! The kibbie balls from the hot appetizer section of the menu where some of the best we've ever eaten! On a scale of 1 to writhing in gastronomic ecstasy this place gets an A plus in my book! read more

I have to rescind my previous review. My boyfriend and I were welcomed back to Cinar for an in-dining experience and this was honestly one of the best meals we've ever had (I know.. bold statement but incredibly true)- luckily that too on his birthday and we couldn't have walked out any more happy than we did that evening. To summarize the entire meal from beginning to end: DELICIOUS. To summarize the service: outstanding! Food: Appetizers: Falafel: Crispy, lightly seasoned yet still flavorful. Babbaganush: Smoked perfectly and delicious with the pita served. We also received their Cinar salad which amazing as well- all the ingredients were fresh and I'm pretty sure I could eat this everyday. For our main entree, as if the appetizers didn't fill us enough, we tried the mixed kebab platter again and had a completely different reception of the dish vs our first experience. Meat was cooked perfectly, super tender and loved all the seasoning...every last bit of the dish was wiped clean. By this point you'd think we had enough, but to please the birthday boy we ordered the baklava which followed the path of our entire meal and did not disappoint one bit. Not drenched in syrup like others we've had- the perfect balance with texture and sweetness. Service: Incredibly attentive, warm and hospitable service. Can't thank the owner Tunch and his team enough. I'm counting down the days till I come back to the US just to dine here again. read more

This is a nice place for some good halal Turkish food. The hummus was delicious & very flavorful. We got the platter with the different meats & rice. The chicken was my person favorite as It was cooked to a nice char & flavored well. The lamb chops are also a must try. My only complaint will be that my glass was extremely dirty & seemed as though It was sitting there collecting dust for days/months. Overall a cozy joint for some good food. read more

Yum! This may be my first time ordering from a Turkish restaurant, but it won't be my last for sure. I ordered via the Yelp app (Eat24). I picked the mixed grill plate, the phyllo dough wrapped feta, and two dips: the spinach and the tzaziki. One word that describes my overall first impression of the food from here is FRESH. Despite ordering delivery, it felt as if the food had been freshly prepared just for us, which is great. My favorite thing surprisingly enough was the phyllo wrapped feta (cheese in fried dough can't be bad) and the tzaziki. All of the meats in the mixed platter were great, though the lamb was a bit dry the flavor was very nice. The only thing I would caution against if you are ordering any of the combo appetizer platters (3 or 5 depending on which one you get): I originally ordered the trio of spinach dip, tzaziki, and feta platter, however someone from the restaurant (very kind) called and said there was a mistake and that tzaziki and feta is not part of the choices and that it is a mistake on the app. I didn't even mind because of how sweet the girl was about it, and she was very apologetic. I am sure if we went to this restaurant in person, we'd love it. For now though, we will continue to order delivery - we have leftovers for the rest of the week! read more

Great Turkish restaurant with BYOB. This is quickly becoming my favorite Turkish spot in the area. They also also just expanded to another store front about two doors down. Not sure how the food compares though. The place is fairly small, so I usually have to call ahead with reservation. Also, it's street parking only. It's does get a bit tough after certain time. The service and food here are both very good. The shepherd's salad is always fresh and light. I can make hummus myself at home. However, the hummus here has a little magic that I can't seem to replicate. The mixed kebab platter is absolutely delicious and certainly big enough to share between two people with leftover to take home. The chicken kebab is one of the most moist and tender that I've had anywhere. Only wish it's close to where I live, but now I'm just being greedy. read more

Great ambiance, service, and food here! Beautifully decorated for a romantic atmosphere. Apps: -we got two eggplant dips and the veggie dip. All were very flavorful and somehow tasted different even though they had similar ingredients -the liver was probably the most tender I've ever had. Also had a nice crisp on it from being pan fried and very well seasoned Entrees: -I had the mix grill plate which had every single kind of meat on the menu. The portion is huge. The meat had good flavor but was a little over cooked. The rice melts in your mouth like butter -a friend had the whole fish and said it was excellent Dessert: Pretty sure we got one of everything lol. -custard was just ok -rice pudding was creamy and sweet -baklava was good read more
