    Iced coffee pistachio
    Mel R.

    The service was kind. Wait wasn't too long. You were able to order inside then take it outside to eat. Where there is umbrellas for shade Food was a bit over priced. So come prepared to spend around 20 for a sandwich and a coffee

    Ellinikon is a cute Greek market and coffee shop. My cousin and I stopped in for coffee. It was pretty busy on a Monday afternoon but we were able to find a two top inside. They have a nice sized patio out front, however most people were sitting inside. I ordered an Iced Caprice Cookie Butter Latte with Oat Milk. After I paid, the cashier handed me a mini bottle of water and informed me that all coffee purchases come with a free bottle of water. How nice! The latte was really good, but very sweet! It tasted better once it was stirred and I enjoyed the cinnamon stick that topped it. The market had an assortment of items like pastries, sandwiches, herbs, spices, olive oil, vinegar, and snacks. The pastries looked wonderful and I probably would have purchased one if we hadn't already eaten lunch. I love Greek food and would be here all the time if I lived in the area.

    Good Casual Ambience - bright modern casual decor Good tasty food. Good service. Parking can be a challenge in this neighborhood.

    Ellinikon is a hot spot in town. They moved from a smaller location to this bigger space and really amped it up. Beautiful patio with outdoor seating. Dog friendly patio with water bowls. Interior is all decked out with Christmas decorations. They offer a full drink menu in the European style. There is a pastry case and quick food menu. I had the turkey croissant and it was perfect. The pistachio latte is on their seasonal menu and it's so cute.

    Still a great experience. Love my Greek mountain tea--perfect with lemon and mint. Spanakopita slices seemed as though they got bigger... a big plus! And tried a newbie... orange cake. It was calling my name, just looking perfect in the case... had to take a slice home. It was very tasty. My husband almost came back the next day for another slice. Thank you, Sriya, for going above and beyond in making the customer happy!

    I love this place. The service is friendly and you always know your drink will be made with care. Food is always fresh and consistent. The ambience matches the food, fresh, natural, and fun.

    Yall I never write reviews, however I just knew I had to about this place. I'm truly blown away with not only the presentation of their food, also the way it tastes!! I had a multitude of different pastries (sweet and savory), each one exceeded my expectations 10 fold. If you're in Highland Park, NJ, YOU HAVE TO COME HERE!!!! Support a family business, straight from Greece!!

    This place is great. Super cool coffee shop/diner ambience inside, and they have actually good vegan pastries. As someone who can't eat dairy and desperately misses flaky pastries, the vegan leek pastry really hit the spot. I tried a pistachio latte as well and it was so pretty and tasty. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd be back in a heartbeat.

    This place is a hidden gem nestled in Highland Park which offers delicious and authentic Greek pastries and desserts which can be paired with a coffee. And, there's a market located inside of the shop to purchase products directly from Greece! I was greeted the moment I walked in and the service was superb - I felt so welcomed (as if I stepped foot into someone's home). If this was intentional, I loved it and hope they keep their inviting nature going. There aren't many cafes like this around, and I hope that this one is here to stay.

    Pistachio Baklava
    Pamela L.

    I would come back here again and again just for their Pistachio Baklava. I don't know where they get their honey that was drizzled and incorporated into the baklava but Oooooh myyyyy goodness, I couldn't stop raving about it with every bite. It's flaky, filled with tons of pistachios, not overly sweet, AND THAT HONEY!!!! It was all about that honey for me. There are many other wonderful yummy pastries (sweet & savory) on display as well. I have my eye on a few for next time. All the drinks we ordered were crafted perfectly. My son loved his pistachio mocha latte, said he could taste the pistachio. I loved my hot Coconut Matcha. I'll probably go down their entire drink menu one by one in my future visits. We were also enjoying the Fleetwood Mac tracks that were playing inside the shop. Lots of seating inside and out. It's a popular coffee spot. Many Greek imported products for sale as well inside this shop. Service was friendly! Seriously though...that honey!!! Lol.

    Lindsey R.

    Wow wish we had tried this market sooner! What a cute spot to grab some Greek treats, breakfast or lunch. Lots of drink choices, omelets or delicious lunch options. We tried the meat gyro, falafel gyro and a bunch of desserts. The pitas were warm with the perfect chew. Falafel had good spices that were balanced with the hummus.

    Love this coffee shop! They have parking which is a huge perk especially being so close to New Brunswick! Their coffee is super strong and there's tons of space inside if you want to work from the restaurant. I had an iced latte and didn't order any food but will be returning to try some. The staff is also super friendly and will recommend things if you're debating on what to get. I would say my experience here was better than your usual big corporation Starbucks stores so check them out!

The lettuce was fresh and crisp, and the tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and feta cheese were all fresh and flavorful. The grilled chicken cubes were juicy, tender, and seasoned perfectly. The salad was beautifully presented, and the olive oil and lemon dressing brought everything together. My only complaint is that the grilled chicken portion was extremely small, especially considering the price. I would also have liked a slightly larger overall salad. Despite that, the quality and flavor were excellent, and I would definitely order it again. Hummus - 5/5 The hummus was smooth, creamy, and full of fresh flavor. It paired perfectly with the bread and was one of our favorite appetizers. Beautiful presentation, excellent taste, and very fresh. I just wish the serving size had been a bit larger. Calamari - 3/5 The calamari was served as tiny strips instead of rings, but it was crispy and cooked well. The homemade dipping sauce was absolutely amazing--the best calamari sauce I've ever had! The only disappointment was the portion size, which was very small for the price. Even so, the incredible sauce made this appetizer memorable, and I'd order it again just for that. Chicken Chops - 5/5 The grilled chicken was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The rice and vegetables were fresh and complemented the meal well. Everything looked beautiful on the plate. The only drawback was that the portion was smaller than expected for the price. Baklava - 4/5 The baklava was fresh, flaky, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. The pistachios tasted fresh, and it was a wonderful way to end the meal. Delicious dessert! But super small Overall Restaurant Review - 4/5 We had a wonderful dining experience at Namli Mediterranean & Turkish Cuisine. The restaurant was spotless, the staff was friendly and attentive, and every dish arrived beautifully presented. Everything we ordered was fresh and absolutely delicious. The only reason I didn't give it a perfect experience is that the portions are quite small for the price. If they offered slightly larger portions, it would be outstanding. Despite that, we would definitely return and highly recommend it for the quality of the food, excellent service, and clean, welcoming atmosphere.

Perfectly smooth texture, pure mouth watering goodness. Can't leave out the taboulli salad. Always fresh, never overdone, and the added pomegranate seeds give it a burst of joy in your mouth.

Unfortunately, I was highly disappointed. I know things changed since the previous owner (older Greek man) no longer owned it. He used to stop by the tables and chat with customers and we noticed that the portions had become smaller. This time we came for lunch on a Sunday. Place was kind of empty, with the exception of 2 large tables. We ordered Saganaki and were informed by waitress that they no longer flambéd it table side. We still ordered and it was good although not melted like we remembered. Husband only ordered the lemon soup, which he said was good. My daughter and I both ordered beef and lamb gyros, I ordered it with Greek fries (with the Greek cheese over them) and my daughter ordered hers with lemon potatoes. Both gyros came dry, in hard shaved pieces and I barely ate my fries as they were worse than fast food fries and not the traditional Greek cheese over them. The tzatziki was good, however, my daughter's had a hair in it. The worse part was that when we brought it to the waitresses attention, she was not apologetic or surprised. She just said she would bring a new one. This was unacceptable. To make matters worse, I went to their store next door to get the cheese I could fry at home and their custard dessert; they had neither. What a disappointment to the entire experience. Won't be returning if ever in the area.

I told her to tell the manager to look at the reviews on Yelp and Google, wasn't looking for a free meal to make up for the really amateur sandwich only a college student in their dorm would be proud of assembling, I simply like the fact that Mamoun's is near my house and management it clearly failing.
