Warm soft Turkish bread
Steve A.

The newest place in my rotation, Fasil has apparently been in town for awhile but it's far enough from downtown that I never discovered it until... I don't even know! Maybe a timely FB post. But finally, I have been introduced to Mediterranean without having to travel. Going in, my favorite reasonably local place was Elmas in Parsippany. A high standard to meet. Let's see how they did. First: They just remodeled in mid-October. I asked, and it was new ceiling, lights, power-wash - the place is elegant. Upscale dining at a reasonable price. Second: the only downside I experienced, they were out of the smoked eggplant I was looking forward to as an appetizer. Finally, all of the positives: * The ezme is an excellent spicy pepper for the excellent soft warm pitas they bring out. It arrived promptly. After squeezing the lemon slices into my water, I wiped the plate clean with the bread. So thoroughly, in fact, that they brought us a second plate! With more bread! (I will quietly note that our table was a little off balance, held by a piece of cardboard I accidentally discovered contained instructions for reheating pitas. I have no way to know if that means the pitas are not fresh made, or if the cardboard comes from elsewhere, or if they make the pitas locally and ship it in the morning. So I can't downvote.) * We split a meat platter for two. I highly recommend that so you can get a taste of the various kebabs on offer. The shaved meat is beyond reproach, perfectly seasoned and a generous quantity with the rice pilaf. Lamb is delicious. Chicken is delicious. Beef was a little overcooked - not quite a downside, IMO. * At the end of the meal, I'm told that spontaneously we were handed a rice pudding to see us off on our first visit. It is deep, rich, large portion, subtle flavors within. All delicious food. Not cheap, not expensive, but you absolutely get more than what you pay for at Fasil. It now replaces Elmas as my go-to Turkish/Mediterranean.

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner here with my wife on Thursday, very good experience. Food: Started off with the fried calamari because the pictures looked fantastic. The calamari was outstanding and a different type of crispy than I normally have. I ended up getting the chicken Adana and my wife got the chicken kofte we are both very satisfied with the meal. The style in which they serve the kebab not a way that I normally had before, but was certainly unique. Aesthetic: the restaurant was beautiful with ample seating and a nice entrance highlighting some of the good Turkish baked goods Service: our server Tariq was awesome, was definitely on top of things.

Very solid Turkish/ Mediterranean restaurant in the Boonton area. Came here for dinner one night. The food was very flavorful and came out very quickly despite being in the middle of dinner service. The restaurant itself is very clean and looks very fancy. The service was friendly and very helpful. Would recommend for a nicer dinner! I will be back again!

10/10 Food and service is phenomenal, Tarik is an excellent server, very prompt. Very fresh and authentic.

TLDR - filling portions, delicious lamb shish kebabs, plenty of outdoor seating, lacking service at the table, a bit pricey I came here on Memorial Day for a family dinner. It was such a nice warm day, so we opted to sit outside. There was plenty of seating outside! Service: we got seated quickly and felt a bit rushed to order so I ordered some appetizers for us to start. Throughout our meal we felt that the service was a bit lacking because our waiter didn't come by once to refill our water or ask how our meal was. Our waiter seemed a bit busy since he was the only waiter outside. For the most part, we asked him for anything as we saw him hurriedly pass by our table. All the foods: Everything was delicious, although a bit pricey compared to other similar Mediterranean restaurants I've been too. - cold appetizers: really enjoyed scooping a bit of each spread on to the warm pita. Ezme with some hummus is a perfect match! Although we only got 2 stuffed grape leaves with our order, they were so good that I'd order a full version of them next time - Mixed Grill: heaping portion of 6 of their grilled meat items. I think the plate would be just perfect to share among 3 people. My favorite was the lamb shish kebab. The rice and salad complimented the meats well - Yogurt chicken kebab: perfectly grilled chicken! The pita under the chicken tasted a bit soggy. Not sure if they are supposed to be like that. We took the chicken and sauce home as leftovers but left the bed of pita bread at the table I'll be back here for lunch! The lunch menu has similar dishes for a fraction of the price.

Our first visit, and we were impressed. Long time lovers of Mediterranean cuisine, we were delighted, at the nice selection of items, especially the tender lamb, delicious stuffed grape leaves, moust falafel and nicely seasoned baba ganoush. It can get pricey, so be warned. A bottle of domestic still water (28 oz) is $10. Service was very good, and the ambiance is quiet and pleasant.

Since we love Mediterranean food we decided to pick a new place to try. After reading menu we decided on Fasil. It's a corner location in a busy strip mall with outdoor seating weather permitting. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our server was friendly and informative. He answered all of our questions and helped us with our choices. We started with the fried liver and the stuffed grape leaves. Both were delicious. The fried liver was tender and has an amazing light taste to it. The grape leaves were also very tender and had lots of flavor. The mint really stood out. The mixed grill is the way to go to sample many offerings. It was cooked perfectly and included an onion salad. Prices were reasonable for most things on the menu with the exception of a few. $10.00 for a dish of plain vanilla ice cream is way over priced. Watch what you order. Overall we loved this place and will definitely be back. Enjoy

Our dinner table for 3

This is a cute restaurant that is priced well. My two sisters and I went on a Saturday night to break our fast and reserved a table online. We originally reserved a table for 6, but change it to 3 a few hours before the reservation. When we got there, they didn't have the updated number of guests but they still seated us immediately. The food tasted great and was fairly priced. I'm knocking off a star because the servers have great intentions, but didn't really deliver. They asked us if we were fasting right when we walked in and gave us dates which is very sweet and considerate as eating dates is the proper way to break your fast. They then asked for our appetizers and asked if we'd like the food to come out after the fast opened or before. We said before. While this is all great, they didn't follow-through: The dates were very hard and the appetizers didn't come out until 10 minutes after fast opened and we had to ask the waiter twice what was taking so long; in total the appetizers came out 30 minutes after we ordered them. We ended up breaking our fast with water, which is not ideal. This was a theme, as our dessert and bill took 20+ min each. The restaurant was about half-full. There was also a birthday going on and they turned the speakers on to play "Happy Birthday to you"...but the speakers were really close to our table and the volume was WAY too loud. I had a ringing in my ears for a while, even after they turned the volume down. I'm not opposed to coming back for take out if I'm in the area. The staff is very culturally competent and friendly, but can be more efficient.

COME HUNGRY! I came here to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday with my husband's family…read morerecently. There were 6 of us and we split the Efsane Family Special for 4 people and added lamb chops thinking we wouldn't have enough food lol the special also came with dessert but my sister-in-law also ordered a rice pudding. The 6 of us could've easily had the family special for 4 without ordering anything else - there was so much food and we had leftovers to take home!! For context, we all eat a LOT so to say we had leftovers is saying a lot! Quantity aside, the food itself was delicious. The bread is served fresh and steaming hot, the dips are delicious and flavorful, meat is seasoned and cooked perfectly (the chicken shish and lamb adana are my favorites), and the bitter black tea and sweet baklava are a perfect way to end the meal. I left there stuffed and so happy! The staff was also very friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back!

We were greeted warmly…read moreand given menus and had ample time to decide: we chose a shepherd salad and cheese rolls for appetizers (and were given a balloon bread); Dave had Iskender kebab and I ordered lab pide (and took lahmacun home). The food was delicious, and the servings were generous. Efsane is a big space with ample seating, and nicely decorated. There is plenty of parking out front. It has a great vibe to round out the picture. I plan to return, and recommend Efsane.

We started with the cucumber, pistachio, and yogurt, with harissa and sesame seeds. Like a very creative and refreshing Mediterranean pickle. Delish. We also got the Mediterranean salad. It was much more interesting than your typical Greek salad. Excellent feta, good cucumbers and tomato, and nice little pita chip slivers. They also start you with very good bread with olive oil and some olives. For our entrées we got Chilean Seabass, Branzino fillet, and Mariscada, which is a big shellfish stew. While it's not indicated on the menu, all entrées come with saffron rice, sautéed vegetables... And their homemade potato chips. The person who got the Mariscada was so happy. It had every kind of fresh shellfish and really was enough for two people. I really enjoyed the Branzino fillet, which came with a lemon caper sauce. It was huge and very delicious, I had to give some pieces away. The Chilean Seabass is the most expensive, at $55. For me, I felt that I have had better Seabass and I preferred my $36 branzino. But the person who ordered it was thrilled and thought it was amazing, and gets it every time here. I loved the saffron rice, and the homemade potato chips. I didn't eat the sautéed vegetables (there was just too much food everywhere!). But the person who tried them thought they were extremely delicious. Overall, this is a great place for sharing, with tons of food. And the cucumber, harissa yogurt, pistachio and sesame seed appetizer showed that they are innovating and not just doing your parent's Don Pepe. Oliver was also a super server as was everyone else on the team. And we enjoyed the patio... though I must say that being over Route 46 traffic is not the most atmospheric, and I wish the patio was on the other side! But who can complain with all this yummy food? Looking forward to coming back here next time I'm in New Jersey.

We finally tried Olivo and expected more after getting mixed reviews from others that had visited…read more The renovation is amazing and maybe this is why I expected the food to be more elevated. It seems that the food tasted the same but presented & plated differently. I asked the waiter if the Chef remained from the previous establishment and he confirmed; this is why the food tasted familiar. I'm not sure if I'd return and would say my overall experience was just, OK. Arancini: Arborio rice was bland & cold Clams Casino: Good, but the mashed potato did not pair well Mariscada Red Sauce: Good, tiny little shrimp & obnoxiously large calamari rings. Prime porter House: Just Ok not prime but rather choice and they offer no sauces, presentation needs work.

I could not view reviews of dishes, so had to step outside to take a peak. Cannot justify paying such prices for dinning in a tiny, dark space in half-basement in the middle of NJ. Just can't. The portions are generous, which is good. But the prices are still outrageous for the location and vibe. It is BYOB for alcohol. We walked in on Sunday at 6pm without reservations and by 7pm, the small space filled up. The $12 hummus was bad. Store bought hummus of the cheapest brand tastes better. Seriously don't understand how a hummus can taste so bland and meh. No seasoning? The pita that came with it was low quality--it gave my friend an allergic reaction right away [he has sensitivity towards poor quality flour products]. $44 paidakia--lamb chops--had 4 chops that were tender and delicate. Pasnip pure was bland and totally a miss--did nothing to complement anything on the plate. Barely any demi lace sauce--definitely on the dry side. Asked for potatoes to be sutstituted for brocollini, but the kitchen did not follow through with that ask, even though our waitress confirmed it was possible. $39 lamb souvlaki was a solid dish. Filling and hearty. Good quality meat skewer. Smoked eggplant puree had a very strong smoke flavor. Lemony potatoes had bright, refreshing lemomy flavor that we appreciated. Service is attentive and quick. Complementary toothbrushes in the bathroom were a nice touch--a star for this little amenity.
