Stopping in this spot for lunch. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and was greeted. The place serves bagels and breakfast items as well as Mediterranean platters. I ordered: Falafel Platter Lamb Platter Turkey Bacon egg and cheese on egg bagel Police shake I really enjoyed the lamb platter the most. I also liked the shake but there was a lingering after taste. The food was good all in all! read more

We needed to cater some food for a small get-together and were trying to decide on something different yet delicious. My husband suggested Howard's, as he had recently had the chicken gyro platter for lunch and said he enjoyed it. We ordered the kebab platter. Holy moly. It was a whole tray of yellow rice, absolutely covered with chicken kebab chunks, onion and pepper. It also came with a side of pita and a chopped salad. Our guests said it was tasty and very good. Everyone who had some loved it. I loved that there was enough for leftovers the next night so I didn't have to cook dinner. I normally never want to cook dinner so we will definitely be ordering take-out from Howard's again soon! read more

This used to be Montville bagel which I liked a lot. It then turned into the very short-lived Seymour's cafe which was poorly managed. We heard a lot of good things about Howard's and decided to give it a try. The decor is very similar to Seymour's which is a good thing. There are plenty of tables if you decide to dine in. The food is pretty decent and the portion is very generous. Me my wife and our 4 year old orders 4 things and had left over for dinner. They also make fresh juice. We had the pineapple which was pretty good. Falafel was very fresh and tasty, the pita bread is excellent. I can't believe how much beef gyro they gave us. The pancake was ok but I guess you cannot make everything great since the menu is so big. Nice place for brunch or a decent meal. The service is excellent. They make sure we are happy and they even gave our little guy some candy. Would go back again and try other thing on the menu. read more

I stopped in dinner (3pm) yesterday. Believe it or not that is my usual dinner time. Their were a handful of customers seated at various booths and tables. Parking is easy and plentiful enough. Howard's does a lot of takeout business so parking is always available. The interior is sleek, modern and clean. Seating is limited. It is really designed for takeout.I ordered the ALL BERRY Smoothie (blue, straw and raspberry) ($7.99). I loved it. For the main course, I ordered, the lamb kabob ($14.99). It come with a salad consisting of lettuce, diced onion and tomato and other greens, and pita bread cut into wedges. The flavors were bold and tastefully seasoned. In the past I have paid more for an equally prepared dish. Howard's has an extensive menu. An accomplished chef and a staff and management that understands hospitality. read more

The owner is not upfront with regular customers. As a loyal patron, I was given a $10 gift card and told it could be used on any online order. When I asked if signing up would mean receiving promotional emails, I was assured that I wouldn't. However, both turned out to be false. The card isn't as flexible as I was told. It turns out there's a minimum purchase requirement to use the discount, but there's nothing on the card that mentions this. This is very misleading. I initially thought it was a gift for being a regular customer, but instead, it came with unexpected restrictions. The discount is only available if you agree to receive constant promotional emails, something the owner should have been upfront about from the start. Customers deserve transparency and should know exactly what they're signing up for. After this experience, I no longer feel comfortable supporting this business. I am getting promotional emails everyday and I didn't complete the order. If I try to unsubscribe, it doesn't work. read more

We got their gyro and vegetable wrap but both were not well seasoned. Their gyro did not have a lot of meat compared to other Mediterranean places. read more

Amazing and hearty brunch food! I also liked the clean and airy ambience inside. And the added touch was relatively quick service. All in all, I recommend! read more

Occupying the space on Changebridge Road in Montville most recently occupied by Seymour's Cafe, Howard's Med Cafe offers a good variety of tasty, fast casual options that should appeal to everyone. The menu is generally similar to Seymour's Cafe, with weekend brunch -- omelettes, pancakes, and waffles -- served all-day, wraps, paninis, sandwiches, burgers, and salads and a good selection of smoothies, shakes, and baked goods, but also features Mediterranean favorites like falafel, lamb / beef / chicken gyros, and beef / chicken kebabs. The casual ambiance is unchanged and the service seems to have gotten a little more consistent. I opted for the Falafel Hummus Platter ($11), consisting of a generous portion of falafel balls, hummus, and chopped salad served with a grilled pita. My dining companion opted for the Avocado Toast Platter ($9), consisting of smashed avocado served with two fried eggs atop multigrain toast. My dining companion enjoyed her Avocado Toast very much and I thought the Falafel Hummus platter was tasty. That said, the falafel seemed to be previously prepared rather than made-from-scratch, but I might be wrong. Howard's is a little out of the way for us, but we'd give it another shot for lunch next time we're in the area. read more

What a great find for us! We had to throw a bridal shower and wanted the cuisine to be Mediterrean. We found Howard's and couldn't have been happier. We are vegan and although there aren't any "vegan" items on the menu (we hope they will add some) we were able to alter some of the vegetarian items to meet our needs. We bought mostly non-vegan dishes and our guests loved everything. The service was super friendly and accommodating. Karim was an absolute pleasure to work with. The store is super cute and the menu is large so there are lots of options to choose from. We highly recommend Howard's. We will definitely be ordering from them again. read more

I'm new to the area and have had breakfast,lunch and dinner and have not been disappointed. Thee staff is nice and attentive especially Marc. read more

We have ordered takeout a few times and have found the food very fresh, hot, and satisfying. The Falafel has great in texture, but falls a little flat on taste (could use some more garlic or other seasoning). I ordered the chicken gyro and onion rings for my entree. It was a healthy portion and onion rings where light and not greasy. read more

Food was absolutely fantastic and very well priced. The service was also extremely friendly. Really cute interior to grab a quick bite. The menu is also pretty extensive so it's a great mix of everything including good coffee and smoothies . read more

Solid place for lunch, we ordered the gyro platter and pesto chicken sandwich for takeout. Fries were really tasty and crispy, gyro had great portions. I do wish it came with a salad (or maybe we had to request it). Tasty but not a classic gyro style meat? I.e. it didn't feel like shaved meat that came from a rotating meat spinner thing but still tasted good. Pesto chicken sandy was yummy, I asked for breaded chicken cuz I don't like being healthy. I wish the chicken was a little crispier and it was lacking a little flavor (didn't really taste the pesto) but overall enjoyed the sandwich. Would def recommend for a takeout bite. Food takes at least 15-20 mins so make sure you call ahead if you're in a hurry! read more

5 stars is not enough for this great place! I have tasted many items from the smoothies to the gyro platters and baklava. The friendly service and cute cafe experience will keep me wanting to come back! Must try in Montville! read more

Great service. Ordered for a school event as well and they were awesome! Everyone loved the food

Tasty, fresh. The Lentil soup is outstanding. My favorite take-out place for lunch or dinner.

We had delicious salads for dinner tonight. Everything was fresh and nicely prepared. Tim, the new owner, was super friendly. Hummus was fantastic! We will definitely be coming back. read more

When I opened the box I genuinely thought it was a joke. I didn't expect a frozen costco chicken breast as my "chicken kebab." It was flavorless and tough. Honestly felt disrespected lmao read more

I had the vegetable quesadilla and fries it was delicious, fresh and filling. I will definitely go back and try the shrimp quesadilla

I can't comment on the majority of the menu but I stopped in for their Daily Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup as I was feeling a bit under the weather. The gentleman at the front was extremely kind and welcoming and I definitely need to come back to try the rest of their offerings. Chicken soup was so fresh (they say they make it everyday and throw out what's not sold) and comforting. Definitely the only place in town that I'm aware of that's selling fresh soup like this. Apparently they deliver in town too. read more

Wow, this is a sleeper hit! We stopped for lunch on the way home from pumpkin picking at Conklin Farms. Unassuming exterior hides really delicious Mediterranean fare. We had the Mediterranean combo and baba ghanoush combo - both excellent. The baba ghanoush is a stand-out, but the hummus, mudjadarra, falafel are also very good. read more

We were pleasantly surprised. Better than the previous place (Seymours) which was a complete miss. The decor is similar if not improved slightly over the previous. The menu selection is reasonable though I was surprised there were no bagel options. The prices are right and the portions are reasonable. The service is attentive. It should work for this area. read more

Super slow and the staff is so rude. Food isn't that great and is over priced. Do not waste your time

Go here. Awesome. Everything is super. Fast, friendly service and the food is really good too.

You can tell the quality of the food is good. Very friendly service. I will continue coming back

Absolutely dope wraps.......... The Mediterranean Wrap & Healthy Wrap are delicious!!! Really nice & friendly people working here too

The service is slow. I ordered a sandwich and it took 30 minutes. After 20 minutes of ordering my sandwich they told me they were out of what rye bread for my sandwich. read more

Coffee is superb! Hazel nut creamer, amongst others are in fridge below condiments. Omelette was super fresh and tasty ! I always thought the best oatmeal I ever had was at the Rui in Aruba, till I ate their steel cut oatmeal here! It was made to perfection! The home fries were flavorful ! THE RAINBOW SMOOTHIE sooooo yummy! Anyhow, very clean place with nice people! I''m looking forward to trying the gyros ! It is authentic Greek place so I am sure it's great! It's not a super fast place because everything is made fresh and thoughtfully. Made me happy to see, love it! read more

We have ordered dinner from here a few times and no complaints. Very good food, friendly staff and cute seating area if you want to sit and eat. Definitely will be back for more. read more

I went for lunch today with a girlfriend. We met at Howard's Middle Eastern Cafe. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. The restaurant is clean and well kept. The menu had a wide selection. We had an appetizer sampler. Hummus, chopped salad grape leaves and pita bread. Then I had an angus burger with sautéed onions and mushrooms. Everything was fresh and well prepared. Service was friendly and accommodating. I definitely will be back soon. read more

Amazing food and service is so fantastic I would 1000% recommend this place to everyone. The baklava is to DIE FOR and the Gyros are so perfectly made. Now easily one of my favorite places the restaurant is so nice to sit in and be around with friends! Overall fantastic experience you have to go here!!!! read more

The best salads. Always so fresh and so delicious! Sam is the best. He is so sweet and welcoming, thank you for a great meal every week xoxo

Great Food. Poor service. I have ordered from this location multiple times using the app. There have been 3 specific instances where the order was incorrect. Last time my to go order was labeled incorrectly. Got home and opened the box to reveal I had someone else's order. Drove back to the establishment and the young lady behind the counter said "whoops, I must have mixed them up". She handed me my order that had been sitting there and said "sorry". All the while the cooks in the back were laughing at our exchange. The management seems to be very kind and helpful, unfortunately this ethos doesn't seem to be supported by the rest of the staff. read more
