I've been here a handful of times and they're always delicious. Small restaurant with a small parking lot right on route 1 next to a Dunkin. The restaurant owns a Turkish supermarket next door. All of the food is delicious. Warm bread and sauces are included (the red sauce is DELICIOUS but super spicy, the white sauce is minty and tart). Get the Mucver!!!! I haven't tried other appetizers but the Mucver stole the show. It's a zucchini vegetable fried pancake. If a latke was made of zucchini. Super flavorful. Not greasy at all. The chicken Adana is my favorite. It's a ground chicken well seasoned with herbs and grilled. My husband had the mixed grill of gyro (beef), lamb, and grilled chicken. The grilled chicken was delicious. Both are served with a salad and rice. Very good service. read more

Came here for a Saturday lunch. I have only ordered from here on Uber Eats so i was shocked at how big this place is. The staff is soo incredibly nice and sweet. It just a table for 2 but we wanted a little more space so they immediately gave us the table for 4 so we can we comfortable. They brought out their fresh bread and couple dips. I loved the red dip and should have asked what it was. They actually brought us a few rounds of bread. Then we got be chicken bbq pieces and the kebab. Huge portion but i have to say the pieces were soo juicy. I will order that next time. Overall, i will be visiting more often since dining in is such a nice vibe. Also visited the market next door. They got nice fresh cakes that i will be back for. read more

Food and service were good, but atmosphere at best just OK due to noise. Most of the menu is à la carte, and seems overpriced. The upsell from servers was subtle but persistent. If $ means $10/person and $$ means $20/person, there is no way that prices are in any category less than $$$. read more

We decided to give this place a try after seeing some pics on IG. I'm so glad we did. The atmosphere was casual and I loved the decor . Staff were nice and helpful. Everything we ordered was delicious and decent size portions for certain items . We started off with Sheppard salad and cold mixed plate ( had hummus, baba ghanush, egg plant salad and few other items ) My husband had ordered Lahmacun which was delicious they were little flat pizza that were covered with meat and served with salad to put in middle and roll them. Very delicious! I ordered the grilled mixed plate which had gyro, grilled chicken kebab and lamb kebab rice and salad . My daughter ordered the Manti ( Turkish mini dumplings) I will admit this dish fell short in the flavor department but was tasty . My daughter's friend and ordered the gyro platter which was a hearty size portion. We were unfortunately too full to grab dessert but i definitely intend to come back to try some of those other delicious dishes. So I would definitely consider driving out of the way to give this place a try . read more

Tonight and the previous time I've come here, I wasn't impressed, more disappointed. I'm saddened because I really used to love this place. The food hasn't been right lately, and the prices are getting higher.. For the price, I at least expect consistency with the taste. Chicken was missing flavor, beef kabobs had too much seasoning and the gyro meat was dry with a weird after taste .. tasted as if the meat was not fresh .. Regular water tasted terrible, sparkling water was some weird off brand for $7 (I thought it would be at least Pelegrino), and the only highlight of it all was a small piece of Tres Leche, which later I found out after ordering 2 of them was $22! ! ! Sadly, this will be my last visit. Staff is always welcoming and friendly and the environment is solid which is why I give 2 stars. The food is always priority, sorry. read more

A little Mediterranean paradise in a New Jersey strip mall. Food was great. Grilled octopus and cold appetizer platter were must order items. The yogurt entree (so embarrassed we got hungry and ate before the camera) was good but I would try out the main entrees if I were to come again. "That was really delicious, guys" repeated multiple times throughout dinner and after. Desserts were decent and beautifully presented but nothing to write home about. Staff was friendly and efficient. An authentic restaurant, decorated well and nice seating. Would definitely recommend! read more

A Mediterranean Gem with Turkish Delight Vibes - Kapadokya, You Have My Heart! Tucked away just off Route 1, Kapadokya is the kind of place you almost drive past--until you realize you've stumbled upon a total hidden gem. Once a rough-around-the-edges little joint, this charming Mediterranean restaurant has totally glowed up and now calls a stylish strip mall home. And let me tell you--the interiors are giving rustic-meets-modern cozy dream. Think warm lighting, charming touches, and an ambiance that whispers, "stay a while and eat everything." Though the restaurant itself is on the smaller side (cozy, not cramped!), it's cleverly connected to its own little market and bakery next door, so you can shop for goodies after stuffing your face--my kind of multitasking. Now let's talk about the real star: the food. My friend and I were seated right away--shoutout to the sweet host for the warm welcome. Moments after settling in, we were handed menus and a beautiful glass bottle of sparkling water (fancy much?), plus the cutest little bread and dip situation. The Turkish bread? Thinly sliced, soft as clouds, and so good I genuinely considered smuggling some home in my purse. It came with two dips: a creamy, tangy yogurt-based sauce (kinda like raita's cooler cousin) and a mysterious yet delicious chutney-type condiment that I couldn't quite place--but adored. We kicked things off with an appetizer of stuffed grape leaves filled with herby, minty rice--little pockets of joy, honestly. And then came the showstopper: veggie pide! Think of it as Turkey's take on pizza--shaped like a boat, loaded with colorful veggies, and topped with a rich, melty Turkish cheese that had me doing a little happy dance in my seat. It was crispy, savory, cheesy, and utterly addicting. And no proper Turkish meal would be complete without a steaming cup of traditional Turkish tea--it was strong, warm, and the perfect way to wrap up our flavorful feast. Final verdict? I'm obsessed. Kapadokya isn't just a restaurant--it's an experience. I'm already plotting my return for a cute little date night, and next time I'm diving deeper into the menu (hello, baklava and kebabs, I'm coming for you). Run, don't walk, and prepare to fall in love--one bite of pide at a time. read more

+8.3/10 Loved their food and appreciate that they bake fresh bread there . Fresh bread service and hot sauce were delicious. Staff was friendly and attentive, everything made fresh in front of you in their kitchen . Minus points because their price point is noticeably about 20% higher than I would expect for similar offerings of Turkish cuisine. A lamb doner/gyro plate costing $26 at lunch is definitely on the pricey side . Looking forward to trying their bakery items and Adana kabab next time ! Ambiance is clean, welcoming and warm. Good spot for a small group or family gathering . read more

Come for the Gyro, Stay for the "Egg Pizza Thing" We wanted something tasty and out of the ordinary - we got it!! First off, there's this magical dish that looks like a pizza but has eggs, cheese, and herbs on pillowy dough sent straight from the carb gods. Honestly, it may have just ruined regular pizza for us.it was deliciously finger-licking! The gyro platter? Solid. Respectable. The fries stole the show on this platter. Crispy little golden treasures. And that "egg pizza thing"? We're still dreaming about it. We wrapped things up with Turkish coffee -- strong enough to wake your ancestors. 10/10 -would come back just for that mysterious breakfast-meets-lunch masterpiece. read more

Fresh Mediterranean food. The food tasted simple yet flavorful. It is a fair portion for the price. The menu is a bit pricey but all Mediterranean restaurants are like that. Pizza was very good and flavorful and my friend said chicken here is delicious. The salad and vegetables are fresh and the tables come w sparkling water. The falafel was delicious! read more

Friendly cute Turkish place. Lahmacun and Pide were excellent, not an easy feat. Rest was all good. Kebabs were fine, not great. For desert, Kunefe and Turkish Tea hit the spot. Will come back. read more

Absolutely delicious Turkish Mediterranean cuisine! I ordered the Cheese Rolls & Feta Cheese appetizers and there was complimentary pita bread with absolutely delectable dipping sauces -- a spicy & savory sauce & then a light sauce to cool it off. I devoured both. I washed it all down with a Sour Cherry soda which had a light, crisp, sparkling, refreshing flavor. Last but certainly not least, I ordered the baklava to go which was deliciously sweet, sticky & scrumptious -- just the way I like it! I will end my review by complimenting Kapadokya on their absolutely beautiful interior -- stained glass light fixtures and colorful artwork created a stunning ambiance that truly made the meal that much more memorable & enjoyable. read more

Truly authentic Mediterranean cuisine. The staff was nice and cordial! The restaurant was clean and inviting! Started with Grape leaves! They are served cold here and were good! I sampled the hummus and it was good enough to order! Fresh and prepared well! I ventured out and had the manti! We think they put too much yogurt on it as my guest who frequent there often stated it was a lot! The mixed pickles were good as well!! My only challenge would be the prices of the items. Some were very over priced and I hope they reconsider! $10 for the mixed pickles? Cmon! They were good but the quantity was not $10 good! I will certainly go back! Quality food and the service was good! Enjoy! read more

Great customer service and excellent food, been going to them for years and it's our favorite place

I'd been to Kapadokya a few times years ago when I live in NJ and the place was a shack on route 1. But I don't live near there anymore and thought the place had closed My son was organizing a little get together and I was shocked when he said Kapadokya. He said the shack was gone and they moved to a real restaurant a little south but still on route 1. I was shocked. First by how nice the new location is and then how good the expanded menu is. I had the lamb adana kebab. An ample portion, with the meat juicy an just a hint of spice. Delicious! My son had the lamb shish kebab, which he enjoyed very much. I don't recall the name of my wife's dish (pictured below) but she said it was really good. The rest of the group we were with all enjoyed their food as well. We were all stuffed at the end but our server recommended a Kunefe for dessert. It's a crispy "pie" stuffed with a sweet cheese. So glad he recommended it. So good. Note: they also have a Mediterranean/Turkish market next door. Make sure you go in there too after you've eaten. read more

The Kapadokya Mediterranean restaurant has good food, good service, and is a very nice restaurant!

PROs - ambience , food (meat) , location , parking , service CONs- pricey , veggie food First timer . We were craving Mediterranean food and stopped by this restaurant. I was googling and found this with good reviews . From outside , the restaurant looked OK . But when we went inside , we saw the magnanimity of this restaurant. Ufff . Looked huge . Lots of tables to sit and eat . And to add more space , there was also 2nd floor . Loved the ambience . Service was good . Located right on RT 1 ! Nice location . We ordered food to go and it took them 20-30 mins to prepare . The food was surely PRICEY ! About 20-30$ per head . Felafel was average . It was soggy and tasted average . Shewarmas were good though. Kids also ate and they liked it . It is a slightly high end based on the price . Had a good experience overall except for the price . read more

Came to pick up a small falafel plate (with fries and feta cheese) for dinner recently. It was supposed to take 20 minutes, but it was ready in less than 15 minutes, which was a good sign. Unfortunately, traffic along Route 1 is awful and I ended up arriving around the original time. Parking is there, but not being there in the nighttime made me forget that additional parking exists on the side. Therefore, I ended up sandwiching my car between a tight space not realizing there's more space. Just one thing to keep in mind. I received 4 falafel balls, which was more than plenty for me. The tahini was plentiful and the pepper dip had enough of a pizzazz to add to the flavor. There was plenty of feta cheese (on the side above the salad), which I was generally able to mix in easily. There is some kick at the bottom with the pepper, so be mindful of that and mix the feta and tahini in there wisely. The fries itself weren't as memorable, but I thought I'd say the same with the rice, so I opted for the former. I was surprised to receive a pita as I had anticipated to warm up some pita bread at home. It wasn't necessarily warm, but it was soft and fresh. For $18 (additional $3 for the feta), it's pricey, but at least the food is quite good. I've always been curious for a proper vegetarian option here and I think the falafel does it for me. read more

This is our favorite Mediterranean restaurant in the area. We've been here a couple of times, and the food has always been delicious. If you're planning a dinner for two, I highly recommend ordering the Mixed Grill Plate along with one of their appetizers. The portions are very generous, making it perfect for sharing. We've also tried the Mixed Cold Appetizers Plate, and every appetizer was flavorful and paired wonderfully with the grilled meats. They also offer a selection of desserts, which you can enjoy at the restaurant or take to go. If you're craving tasty baklava and Turkish tea, this place is a must-visit. read more

Really expensive for the location its at but offers a pretty decent quality of food. The pickles are the highlight of the meal and there is a grocery store right next door where you can purchase. Food is definitely on the expensive side considering its in a suburban area and the ambience isnt super fancy read more

Amazing flavorful food, excellent service and casual atmosphere. My husband and I loved our experience here and will definitely be returning. One of the better middle eastern spots in the area! I ordered the Chicken Adana and loved it! The portions are big, so chances are you'll have leftovers to enjoy the next day too! read more

Thanks for the response, but it comes off more like damage control than genuine concern. I'm aware of what I ordered--the issue wasn't the portion label, it was the lack of quality, flavor, and freshness. You mention "high standards," but unfortunately, that's not what I experienced. Instead of just defending pricing and ingredients, maybe focus a bit more on how you'll address actual customer concerns in the future. I left honest feedback, not a personal attack. Hopefully next time, the food--and the attitude--match the price. read more

Good authentic Turkish food. Service was amazing, very attentive. Loved the store next door with Turkish and Mediterranean products.

I'm from Greece and have been to Turkey many times, had food there and one thing I have to tell you is this place IS authentic!!! Turkish natives operate it, the plates are even imported from there. I had the lamb kebab and my partner had chicken gyro, that was from the spit!!! Delicious, aromatic it was incredible. I can't wait to come back. I recommend the cheese rolls and the cacic. read more

What a surprise to come across this awesome Turkish restaurant near Princeton, NJ!! What a gorgeous setting that's extremely clean w/outstanding service! Started out w/eggplant appetizer and it was delicious! The main dishes were Chicken Kebab, and Adana Kebab - wow both were excellent (comes w/rice)! I must say, Turkish cuisine and hospitality is truly hard to beat ! Highly recommend this place - only 3 years young and looks fabulous! Enjoy casual dining downstairs and more formal w/reservations recommended for the spacious upstairs dining . Oh and just next door you will find a Turkish Butcher shop along w/Turkish groceries - Very convenient indeed!! read more

This place is excellent. The food, service and space are all great. I was very impressed.

After our daughter's doctor appointment, we decided to go for an early dinner. We were bored with the food choices in Princeton and I remembered wanting to give this place a try. So, off we went. The restaurant is simple but elegant, with the brick walls being adorned with elaborate artwork. A shelf on the leftmost wall has "cubbies" filled with cultural items and beautiful sconces line the brick wall in the dining area as well. Above the restaurant hangs an absolutely gorgeous chandelier too. We ordered the following: Small mixed cold appetizers- this was a mix of all the cold appetizers on the menu. We liked it a lot and thought it was a nice touch because we got to try everything on the menu for that section. Mixed grill - this was a combination of lamb shish kebab, gyro and grilled chicken. It also came with a side of rice. This was delicious as well. IM usually not a fan of lamb but this was delicious and not gamey. Gyro was nice and the chicken was surprisingly soft even though it was white meat. Usually, I'm disappointed with the chicken because white meat is usually tough but this place knew how to keep their chicken soft and juicy! Lastly, we had the grilled octopus and this blew us away! It was herby and delicious ! This was surprising soft as well. We were bummed that there wasn't more when we were done. Daughter and I also ordered unsweetened iced tea leaf. I was a little disappointed at being given a bottle of Pure Leaf unsweetened iced tea. I was hoping that it was freshly made but it didn't damper my mood. Everything was delicious and freshly made. Service was pretty quick and efficient. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu! read more

Really great food! Genuinely loved the taste and quality of everything. I got the chicken breast over rice and it was juice and tasteful. The rice was excellent. My friend got the falafel and it was crispy on the outside, tender in the inside. Hard to do with falafel! Service was also very good and it was quick. They took care of us the whole time and I enjoyed the ambiance a lot in the restaurant during the rush service. Overall really enjoyed my experience here, will be back soon! read more

Right off the bat, they were super friendly; not overly so, but a good friendly greeting with a smile. We were started with the pita slices with tzatziki sauce and some kind of pepper sauce; pepper was just a bit spicy, which was nice. We ordered the cheese rolls (so damn good) and the soujouk, followed by the Greek salad and a side of lamb kebab. The lamb was perfectly spiced; there was no need for any salt or pepper in anything we had. I highly recommend this place. I can't speak to anything else but what we had, but what we had was fantastic. read more

I went here with my teens and we had a good experience overall. My daughter had the small falafel platter with rice. The falafel had a good crunchy outside but seemed a little too dense and maybe undercooked inside. My son's small chicken gyro platter could've used more flavor but chicken was soft. I had a small chicken over shepherds salad. The chicken was soft, warm and lemony but the salad part could've used more salt or some dressing. Desserts we're good, we shared the coconut pudding which had a too mild coconut flavor but kids liked the milky taste. The creme brûlée was good too. Service could've been quicker but everyone was really friendly. I though it was pricey but you are getting fresh food. Even though we probably wouldn't get the same items again, I'd consider coming back to try new things. Mostly for Greek/Mediterranean food I'd stick to sahara in New Brunswick or kyma in somerville. read more

Great authentic food. The white sauce was okay okay but meat was good for the gyro I had.

We liked their food very much. Starting from the appetizer, and ranging from vegetarian to non-vegetarian and desserts, everything was fantastic. Price was quite reasonable. Parking was easy even though it is right on Rt 1 South. The kids want to go back there again. read more
