I found this place randomly searching for gyros. The reviews and pictures convinced me to bookmark…read morethis place. Stopped by on a Friday night. The place has a Greek/Mediterranean dine in vibe with wall-art to match. Ordered take out and was told it would be about 15 minutes since everything is made to order which I'm totally cool with. Ordered two shish Taouk combination ($21 each) which is the chicken shish kabob and gyro meat combo with pita sliced, rice and salad. It comes with salad dressing and garlic mayo sauce, very tasty. The portions are huge and the meats solid. Had to get a side order of tsatsiki sauce ($1.50) since I was having gyro meat which had a mixed yogurt texture, it was alright, taste wise. The garlic Mayo has more flavor. Overall it was a solid meal. If I'm in the area I'll def get the shish Taouk kabob platter. * Shopping mall parking *** YOU NEED TO REQUEST TSATSIKI SAUCE WHEN ORDERING THE SHISH TAOUK COMBINATION!! * Closes at 8pm (Friday) * Try to bring cash, suggested by the person in charge.

I have driven throughout Edgewater for years and have not seen Madison Café and Grill. Thanks to…read moreYelp, my curiosity was piqued and I'm so glad that I visited. The restaurant has an interesting history. Even though the original opened in Cresskill, NJ, it unfortunately has permanently closed. However, not only is the Edgewater location amazing, but it had the guts to open during COVID (2022), survived, and is succeeding. The restaurant is beautiful inside and outside. Their decorations are tasteful, the presentation of the food is award winning, and the service is stellar. I started with a Mocha Cappuccino and it was so good. Served in a large mug, an airy/creamy top, and had the perfect amount of mocha happiness throughout. Before the meal even started, we were graciously given Za'atar (a popular Middle Eastern spice blend with an earthy, tangy, and nutty flavor, toasted sesame seeds, and sumac, with salt). It was crunchy, drizzled with oil, and I enjoyed how each thin pita bite made the spices explode all over the table. The entrees were: Strawberry French Toast. The next was the Falafel Platter (chickpeas and fava bean balls, served with tahini sauce, pickles, turnips, tomato, and mint). The last selection was the Avocado Toast (Citrus cured salmon over multigrain bread, tomatoes, onions, capers & citrus vinaigrette). Not only were all of these dishes beautifully presented, but all were filling, as well. My Avocado Toast kept me full for the rest of the day and the salmon was enjoyably salty, thin, and delicious. I noticed a dessert in their display case and ordered it. The dessert was the Riz Bil Ashta (Lebanese rice cream, infused with orange blossom water, blended with milk and cheese, and topped with crushed pistachios). This dessert tasted like a regal custard and the pistachios added an enjoyable texture that makes it recommended. Of course, I had to cap the meal with a Mocchiato. This amazing beverage followed the rest of the meal..... delicious, eyes closed good, and every sip was full-flavored. Thank you, Madison Café and Grill, for presenting a memorable meal and I wish you continued success.

Which was a bit of a shock at first but honestly as parents of a 2 year old, we welcomed the silent room (besides the Lebanese music). Ordered the dinner for 2, the cucumber yogurt dip, and a mint tea. We were so happy with this place. The ladies working were so sweet and everything came out quickly and fresh off the grill! Let me also point out that the grill master was a woman. Awesome. Can't wait to go back again for a casual night and BYOB next time. Just curious why the place was empty! And we didn't see one person come in to pickup takeout. What's the deal?

We split all of this amongst four people and we were stuffed. Our bill was around $260 without tip so I think it was well worth it. If you enjoy Lebanese food, this is a MUST try!

Parking is shared, and valet service is available for a small fee ($5). I believe it's a set price and the parties start/end at a certain time. The event I came to was a planned party with arranged seating. Alcohol was served, food was nice, and the desserts were plenty. I am not sure on the packages they offer for a planned party, but you can call to ask. I had a conversation with the owner who seemed very nice and hospitable. All the staff were very accommodating also. The food situation was a little odd. They bring out a buffet style self serve **first come, first serve**. Once they ran out of the homemade shawarma you're pretty much out of luck. FYI: Friday nights they have a live house DJ. Saturday nights they have a live singer.

Fixed price for appetizers and entree. This place is a bit pricier than similar nearby Beirut lounge, but the venue is larger and the experience offers a bit more, accordingly. I found the staff to be pretty on-the-ball and friendly. Large venue. Hookah is extra, as is pretty standard at these type of events. They do serve alcohol and you can order drinks at the bar if you choose. It's a bit of an odd setup, being so close to the hotel. I parked in the back, where the valet instructed me to (I opted not to do valet), but I did see people parking right in front of the place. Fun time though, and great overall experience, again, similar to Beirut, something hard to find even in NYC and surrounding areas. If you're looking for a uniquely Arab/Middle Eastern type of party, this is your place. Location is pretty convenient as well if you're coming from NY, as it's only a few miles from the Lincoln Tunnel and also pretty close to the GW Bridge (but closest to the Lincoln Tunnel)

It basically a mozzarella stick but in fried phyllo which made it lighter. We also decided to do the Mezze & Dips spinner. My favorite dips and mezze from the spinner : foul medamas, batata harra, baba ghanoush & the hummus. My least favorite were the tabouli salad and arnabeet bi tarator. For our entree we did the mixed grill platter. For the price paid we expected the portion to be bigger. Our beverages were the Lebanese please and golden days. Both were on the moreso tart side. Parking in the area may be challenging however the L train is about 3 blocks away. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side. We had to ask for another table to hold our food and drinks comfortably. Overall , I would come back here. I would love to try the table side shawarma!
