Beef cutlet sandwich with the delicious hot sauce in the background

Arno K.

I've tried the beef cutlet today and it was just as great as the German sausage sandwich, both time I said hold the parsley & sauces then added the delicious hot sauce they have you will see in the picture. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great good chill environment and decent prices also very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All and all 2 thumbs up. P.S. the tamarandin tasting hot sauce in the picture can only be had if you're dining in and not available to take out or delivery.

The food was good and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the back patio is cute[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but [[HIGHLIGHT]]unfortunately there were too many mosquitos and we had to go inside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside space is very small[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We enjoyed the food but thought some of the items are pricey for what they are.

Yum! Went with my friend today and we had a great time eating sambusas, falafel sandwiches, and ash reshteh. Excellent service and friendly staff brought everything to the table and extra plates, utensils and condiments. Paper or reusable plates offered for dine in, yet I wish there was a non-styrofoam compostable option for take out as we had to get some since we didn't finish our food. I will also bring my reusable water bottle next time I dine in since there are only plastic waters available for purchase. Hopefully in the future, customers can opt in for purified water and reusable cup if dining in as an alternative to plastic.

I really wanted to try this place and give them five stars because of the all the hype. Unfortunately, it disappointed me. There is an online ordering fee of $1.99 Not sure for what. They don't have the option for pay in store when ordering online. Food is ok, you can find similar or better quality in other similar restaurants. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place needs some remodeling to make it look modern.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also, they automatically add the tip to the bill. At least in my case that's what they did. I wasn't that impressed by the food and experience.

Was craving a sandwich, so I stopped in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cozy, family-owned cafe that specializes in sandwiches and pizza.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Asked them if they could make me a veggie sandwich, and they made me a super delicious and colorful one with the exact ingredients I wanted. They even added black olives and fresh herbs to take it over the top! Really enjoyed my lunch, will be coming back soon to this super friendly and welcoming spot.

Shocking Almost non existent side french fries.

First time here, and I really wanted to give 5 stars and support the business, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. The food was very basic and not particularly enjoyable. We ordered a side of French fries, but as you can see in the photo, the portion was nearly nonexistent, which is the main reason for my 2-star rating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As for the ambiance, it could use some improvement. To put it politely, the TV was playing content that felt inappropriate for a dining establishment, with videos featuring minimal clothing and themes that didn't suit the environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For the record, I'm not conservative, but it was a bit excessive for a place like this. On a positive note, the service was excellent and very attentive.

Today we went to Denj Resturant, we tried the persian delux pizza it was very good I liked the crust very crispy and wasnt oily which is my favorite , 100% recommend you wont regret it.

I mostly order online and the website is super simple to use, it also gives you reward points. From ordering to the food being delivered takes about 20-25minutes. The pizza always arrives fresh and warm. My go to is the Persian mix and they provide ketchup, jalapeños, parm and red pepper flakes. I always note thin crust and it's always perfectly thin. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside of the restaurant itself is very neat and clean with good amount of tables and chairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Very tasty sandwiches! We ordered 3 Togo sandwiches. 2 special sandwiches (sausage and tongue) and 1 regular (German sausage) sandwich. Special sandwiches come with fries on the side and they have extra ingredients. I placed the order over the phone and picked it up 20 minutes after. It was pretty fast and quick. The café is a small and charming spot, true to its name "Denj." read more

This place has improved a lot lately. We would order from here from time to time and the food was good. Now, it's great. This is a small family-owned restaurant serving Persian style pizzas and sandwiches. They also have the traditional pizzas and sandwiches too, like pepperoni pizza, etc. We ordered their Persian pizza and Mix sandwich. Both were very delicious. We asked them not to toast the sandwich bread too much so it stays soft and they did exactly that. The service is also great with both the cook and cashier coming out to greet me. Will definitely come back again soon :) read more

Hidden Gem! The kids wanted pizza and we wanted anything but pizza - lol We were in the area and we found this place on yelp, after seeing the various options and the great reviews we decided to try it out. So glad we did! The kids got pizza and kept screaming best pizza ever! Husband got the bandari sandwich and I got the chicken shawarma sandwich both tasted amazing. The sauces were also house made and so delicious! The service was great and the owner was so nice! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They even have a patio in the back with hookah and plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely be back to try the other menu items because we couldn't decide what to pick. read more

To be polite, let's say, from the outside, it is a very unassuming non-descript place. Frankly we were a little dismayed upon arrival. But had high hopes. We entered to find a small dining area, probably 4 tables. We were immediately greeted and handed menus. We quizzed the gentlemen about a few of the offerings as weren't familiar with some items. He was very kind, and patient and walked us through them all and answered our questions. We did notice they do a lot of door dash type of business and there were frequent driver pick-ups. Thats a good sign so we stayed and ordered. We ordered the Greek Salad, the Chicken Shawarma (sp?) sandwich and mozzarella sticks. The salad and sandwich were delicious. No joke, we stayed and hung out for about 2.5 hrs just chatting, eating and hanging out. Was a great night for 3 friends who hadn't seen each other is more than 10 yrs to just relax and catch up. Thanks to the gentlemen who was so kind and patient with us and who never made us feel awkward for staying so long. There were many people coming in and disappearing "to the back" which turned out to be a lovely dining area and outside patio. Who knew? We'll be back to try the pizza soon!! read more

The store doesn't look like a huge place when you walk in but they have a cute and cozy back patio. We chose to dine outdoors and it was a great vibe.

Can't wait to go back and try some other dishes during lunch or for a late night snack since they are open late.

Okay so I also got something else called suchi or chuchi sandwich with chimichurri sauce and clearly we didn't get a picture. To begin with it's located on the corner of the street so parking everywhere you walk in and already know you're going to get quality fresh food and sure enough the service and food and vibes were immaculate I'm for sure coming back very soon. They have an amazing menu stop by and check it out urself.

The employee asked if I wanted everything on it and I said yes. I was going to ask for veggies so I'm glad that the every topping question was asked. The sandwich was pretty filling. The bread was a little crunchy. The veggies spilled out of the first half of the sandwich I ate, which was understandable since it was pretty full. I like that the sandwich had a kick to it, it's because of the jalapeño and maybe the capocollo. My total was $18.71 which I thought was fair. It's cozy inside. Lighting was bright, artificial lights were on. I ordered at 1:09 pm. The sandwich was done at 1:17 pm. They were working on multiple orders. A few customers were inside. There were three tables inside. Newspaper clippings were placed on the walls along with certificates and decorations. Bars were on windows. Shades or curtains were placed on other windows. Cannoli were no longer in the fridges. I went here years ago so I noticed the small changes. Smells of food wafted through the deli. Menus were placed at the top of the wall. It's great that they take Apple Pay. I had to move my phone around to make sure the system processed my card but it worked. I think they updated their POS system. Both the employee and Mary told me have a good day and I thanked them both.

It's always difficult finding a place that can consistently deliver quality food for a big family event, but Leo's exceeded our expectations. Everyone enjoyed the meal, and we received several compliments from family members asking where the food came from.

It also felt good supporting what appears to be a small business that clearly takes pride in both its food and customer service.

Mashed potatoes are authentic handmade mashed potatoes with the taste of home. BBQ was perfect and tender and TASTY. Reminder 1: this is quality food, not fast food, so be prepared to wait a little bit, especially if you have a larger order. Reminder 2: BBQ it's not a cheap food to make, so you will not find any dollar menus here, but if you compare to Manny, the other barbecue restaurants in their location, you will find this is an extremely good value.

Our group of 12 chose the prix-fixe option at $100 per person, which included all appetizers and a selection of main dishes. Given the size of our party, we expected enough food for everyone to enjoy each item offered. When we arrived, the appetizers were already placed on the table. However, several items were served in quantities that were insufficient for our group. For example, the eggplant rolls were one of the featured appetizers, but there were only five pieces for 12 guests. As a result, several people never had the opportunity to try them. When we asked if more could be provided, we were told they were no longer available. Unfortunately, this was the response we received for multiple items throughout the meal. The main courses were equally disappointing in terms of portion size. The kebabs, vegetables, and even the rice were served in very limited quantities. For a meal costing $100 per person, the portions were surprisingly small and nowhere near what was portrayed in the photos. The presentation and serving sizes did not match our expectations based on what we had seen advertised. Similar quality food can easily be found elsewhere for significantly less. The restaurant is beautiful, and the ambiance is enjoyable. However, when considering the overall dining experience and value for the price paid, it simply was not worth it for our group. While the setting is attractive, the limited portions, lack of availability of included menu items, and misleading expectations created by the photos left us disappointed. Unfortunately, we would not return or recommend spending $100 per person here.

Tried Denj Cafe for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I believe I was speaking with the owner, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the quality of the food. I ordered the buffalo wings, jalapeño poppers, and a small supreme pizza. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The wings had just the right amount of heat, the jalapeño poppers were delicious, and the supreme pizza was outstanding with a great crust and generous toppings. Finding a new pizza spot is never easy, but Denj Cafe definitely made a great first impression. Between the excellent food and the friendly service, I think I may have found my new go-to pizza place. Looking forward to coming back and trying their sandwiches next time. Highly recommended! read more
