    Pizza slop

    Ordered a pie online. Got there 20 min later and the woman says it's almost ready, 2 more mins. After 10 min, I finally see them START making the pie! It was never even done! Instead of being honest and saying "hey we forgot to make your order", they instead ignore you and pretend you're not there watching them. Another 20 min later, the guy comes over, after 5 more pickup orders out the door while I sit on the stool looking like a jackass, says "I had to remake the pie"! Bullshit man! I have been standing here watching you for the past 30 mins and saw you make my pie 10 min after I walked in! Finally get the pie 5 min after that and they offer me a free 2 liter for my wait. Fair enough, I'll take it. Then I get home and open the pie box and it looks like this! Horrible undercooked slop! I call them up and tell them I want a new pie. He says no problem and will deliver it to me, where I literally live 2 min down the road. 40 min later, no show so I call back. He says he sent the driver 10 min ago and should be there any min. I give it another 30 min and still no show. I call back up again and said, if my pie isn't here in the next 2 min, I'm coming back for my money. He said he will call the delivery driver. 10 more minutes go by and I just go back to the restaurant. Guess what, the delivery guy is there with my pie!! Absolutely ridiculous!! A waste of almost two hours! Never, ever again will I order from here! They don't know what the hell they are doing! Shame the old owners sold to them. Back to Torino! The only reason I'm giving them an additional star is that he did give me the cold to the bone pie and my full refund along with the free 2 liter.

    Seafood combo

    What an amazing place to eat and chat. Service was fantastic and the food... Let me tell you, so fresh tasting and very filling. An A+. You need to go and enjoy. The ambiance, you'll feel right at home.

    Seafood Combo

    What a place!!! When you first walk in the door, you feel how friendly the atmosphere is. But let's get to the FOOD!!! I started with the rice balls. WOW!!!! Delicious. My Eggplant Parmigiana was the best I've ever had. We also had the Seafood Combo, Oh My God!! Pasta done to perfection. Seafood was fresh and delicious. The portions are good for the prices. More than you expect on a plate. Now let's talk about the pizza!! Crust to die for!! Crispy and delicious!! Will definitely come again!! Finally, dessert!!! The Limoncello Mascarpone Cup took me back home to momma. As you can tell, I highly..HIGHLY recommend this place...Also, it's a BYOB.

And the atmosphere here is amazing as well. You really need to try this place super A plus.

    Chicken murphy - very generous portions!
    pam s.

    You know how everyone says NJ has the best bread and pizza? Well this restaurant illustrates that perfectly! This place has delicious Italian food! Very generous portions are served in large pasta bowls, subs, salads, paninis, all huge. Most importantly all made to order, fresh Italian food. There were six of us and all of us loved our meals! I had an eggplant parm sub which was piping hot when it was served to me, the Italian bread toasted and crusty outside soft inside. Lots of mozz and sauce (gravy) also. My husband got the dolce vita panini- prosciutto, mozz, roasted peppers. With French fries. Our other friend got chicken murphy in a huge pasta bowl. Two people got salads with big grilled shrimp. Someone else got a great personal sized pizza. This is a BYOB- you can sit, enjoy, talk, eat in a relaxed old world Italian restaurant atmosphere. The two waitresses were great and very busy, still getting us anything we needed.i give them a lot of credit, it was busy but they didn't miss a beat. Pleasant people and Very hard workers! The owner, frank, was very personable and spoke with us as if we knew him forever. We really loved the food, clean establishment, and professional friendly service. We will be back next time we are in old bridge.

    Chicken parm and vodka chicken parm

    My fiancé and I finally found our Italian spot! Way better than everything around us (we live in Aberdeen/Matawan area) food was quick, the vodka sauce was really tasty! We had an awesome waiter and the environment was great. Highly recommend!

    The chicken Murphy is amazing!! Where else can you get an amazing lunch special for $8 . This is a must do!! Love everything on the menu

    If you haven't tried their hamburger then your missing out!! This is my go to for lunch because the food is amazing and the price is perfect. They are consistent with their service and ingredients and they have not raised their lunch price post Covid. Thank you nacho for making us feel like family !!

    My fiancé and I stopped in for lunch. The beer menu is HUGE. There's a great mix of all beer types,…read moreeven ciders and seltzers. They also have a few cocktails. My fiancé had a sour beer that tasted like sangria and I had a sour beer that was a take on mango sticky rice (such a unique beer). My fiancé had a fruity white lager that tasted a bit like a margarita. I had the patty melt with onion rings (up charge) and my fiancé had the steak sandwich with steak fries. Heads up their steak fries are actually potato wedge; still tasty but a pleasant surprised. Both of our sandwiches were delicious. The steak sandwich came with a delicious garlic aioli. Our server was great. She mentioned that a lot of their beer is from Icarus brewing in Lakewood and suggested we check it out. We don't live too close but if we're ever in the area we'll be sure to come back. A lot of the beers were calling my name. A great local place. It's located on a somewhat busy street with street parking but there's a municipal about a minute walk.

    Service was quick - we ordered take out…read more The menu they offer seems a little all over the place, but sometimes there's nothing wrong with offering some variety. I ordered the paneer platter and it was ok. I feel there was more rice than the paneer given. I wish there was a spice level option as well because I like spicy food. The web page pictures are misleading because for one the Makhni in the picture is more of a yellow curry base, whereas what I got was more of a red-orange (more so the color shown in the tikka masala image). My friend ordered the butter chicken and it was the same deal with the color, but I also have never had either dish before with a more yellow curry base so lol I just wanted to say it's inconsistent. We also ordered the Heavenly Hummus to share. Hummus was good, pita was good, but whatever was spread on top of the pita to make it a "garlic bread" was very strange tasting. We didn't particularly enjoy that portion of the pita.

The food is outstanding and the people are very friendly and extremely welcoming. My "go-to" dish is the chicken and rice platter with salad. As mentioned, the food quality is exceptional, very flavorful and always fresh. Chicken chunks are very tender and well seasoned. The rice is delicious and the salad is always fresh, crisp and cold. They have a wide variety of sauces and they always ask if you need more. And, yes, the platters are enormous. It is literally impossible to walk out of this place feeling hungry. The Halal Spot also has lamb, falafel, butter chicken and wide variety of other dishes. So if you are looking for a place that serves outstanding food, enormous portions that is reasonably priced. Your "go-to" spot should be The Halal Spot. Yes, it is that good!

I walked in on a rainy Friday night shortly after 10pm and it was freezing cold on the inside. Shreya was working the register and was extremely present and nice to speak with. I asked for her recommendations and of course she suggested the burger. I took her up on that option and ordered a bacon cheeseburger. She said the fries were also a must. I was extremely hungry, so I also ordered the Chicken Club Burger, crispy instead of grilled. She asked me if there was anything else I needed and I jokingly said a side of heat. She checked with the other patrons inside to see if they were cold along with Jenn who was working and they concurred as well. Within minutes she was on the phone with the owner who quickly addressed the issue by cutting on the heat. A few moments and I could tell things were warming up. Now onto the food. Everything was hot. The burger was delicious, but nothing was too special. The fries were seasoned well and had a spicy sauce to go with them. The Fried Chicken club was AMAZING! By far the biggest chicken sandwich I had ever eaten. The chicken was juicy. I could taste the cheese and the bacon. The chicken was way bigger than the bun. I wish I had ordered two. Overall I had a fabulous time here. The seating area was clean. Customer service was excellent. They made sure I was taken care of. The food is good. If I'm in the area again id definitely stop by.
