Make your own salad!
Tiffany C.

Right in the heart of our lovely RSC. This is perfect for fast food on the college person's wallet and empty stomachs. If I ever need a quick bite to eat, I'll stop by King Pita's to grab something. The food is good and they give big portions. FOOD: Food is good, especially for something that you get at the student center. The best part is that so many of their things are customizable. SERVICE: Great staff and service! AMBIANCE: Do you like the Rutgers Student Center food court?!

Chicken & rice platter. A lot of food, but not that tasty.

Yummiest salad ever. 25 fresh ingredients to choose from. Wholesome, nutritious, crunchy and worth every dollar!

Decent prices for a solid lunch. Curly fries and hibiscus tea are both pretty good options

With less options in the student center, this is one of the last good spots to get something to eat.

I recently visited this restaurant and had an excellent experience. The space is well-designed and…read moreinviting, and the location in downtown New Brunswick, just off campus with convenient parking, is ideal. The Turkish Mediterranean cuisine lived up to the hype. I ordered the lebni, chicken and lamb shish kebab with rice and salad, and tried the red sauce with bread, all of which were outstanding. The dishes struck the perfect balance: satisfying and filling without being heavy or leaving you uncomfortably full. The service matched the quality of the food. The staff was attentive and friendly, and our meals arrived promptly and beautifully presented. Whether you're dining solo, on a date, or with friends, I'd highly recommend this spot. The food is consistently excellent, and the overall experience is top-notch.

I visited Namli today for a late lunch, and everything was amazing! The interior is super clean and…read morebeautifully done. The employee was incredibly helpful when it came to deciding what to order. For appetizers, we got the hummus, tzatziki, and falafel--everything was delicious. They also give you a side of "mommy's sauce," and omg... it was soooo good mixed with the hummus. It's a secret family recipe made by the owner herself, which makes it even better! For the entrée, we ordered the mixed grill platter. My favorite meats were the gyro slices and the beef cubes. The beef cubes were perfectly seasoned--seriously next level. The rice underneath all the meat was also excellent and packed with flavor. Will definitely be back!!

I loved this place. I went with a couple of friends in the evening around 8 p.m., and it had a nice…read moreand cozy feel. The inside is very beautiful, and it was packed when we got there. I remember they had a small room off to the right and there was really no one in that room, and then I realized it was an acai bar where you can get an acai bowl. In warmer weather, they have an acai bar, which is such a cool option to have inside a cafe. It is closed during cold months. My friends got desserts and coffee, and I got an acai bowl and some plain tea with almond milk. The acai bowl was not huge, but it was definitely very good and very filling. I loved the granola. I got acai, granola, fruit, and nut butter, and I really liked it a lot. I was full and happy because being vegan and gluten-free, there are not a lot of options for me later in the evening. While we were sitting and eating, we noticed there was a small prayer room in the back. We were curious, so we went in and took a look, and I thought it was really nice that they have that space as part of the cafe. It looked like there was a holy book, I believe the Quran, and there was a small, quiet area where someone can sit and pray. I thought that was such a unique and lovely touch to honor someone's religious convictions. Overall, I loved this place, and I plan to go back the next time I'm in New Brunswick.

I was looking for a coffee place open late that I could chill at before a State Theater show. And a…read moreYemeni coffee place sounded unique and worth trying out. The place was packed with college kids and friends there to socialize. We got the salted caramel latte which was very sweet. I would have gotten a less sweet drink based on the decadent desserts we had - the brownie cheesecake was just overflowing with caramel on top and the tiramisu had an interesting look with the cocoa powder surrounding the outside hiding all the delicious layers inside. Both desserts were $9-10 and were on the higher end price wise, but they were both delicious. There are a lot of options in drinks and baked items, but the tables may be sparse if you're looking to stay in. The later evening hours are big plus if you're looking for somewhere to meet friends in a casual, relaxed environment.

Huge shoutout to Elleyse. She was amazing with us the first time, and when we came back with all the kiddos, she was incredibly patient, kind, and on top of everything. She made both visits feel special. The food was ridiculous. The porterhouse was amazing, and we got the Wagyu both times because it was that good. The chicken lollipops were incredible, the short rib mac and cheese was fire, and the truffle fries and Crispy Banging Shrimp were both huge hits. My wife and our friend loved the Spanish octopus. We also shared the bone-in chicken parm with spicy vodka penne, and it was awesome. Even the kids loved their chicken tenders and fries. The drinks were great too. Everything we tried was well made and paired perfectly with the meal. Dessert was next level. The tiramisu was awesome, and the Dubai chocolate cheesecake was amazing. I added a scoop of ice cream on the side myself, and it made it even better. The portion sizes are amazing too. Everything is big enough to share, and you'll still have plenty to bring home. Great vibe, great service, amazing drinks, and incredible food. We'll definitely keep coming back and bringing more friends. Highly recommend.

Sandwich which is the star of my meal was smaller than the palm of my hand, ordered it with baba, there was less than a teaspoon at best, lamb was dry, no vegetables hardly at all. Sandwich was falling apart by the second bite because the pita was thinner than a fingernails thickness. Soup was great as always, the pistachio baklava was superb. The he prices aren't bad but if you factor in that they're not training their cooks to assemble their signature sandwiches and platters to the standard of Mamoun's, it's a waste of money and time ordering here. When I first got the order delivered I called, no manager, said call back, next day, couldn't reach the manager, third day later, no manager and a young woman in her teens clearly not interested in my comments and getting exasperated with me on the phone, she composed herself, but honestly, my comments are spot on. 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. I left my name and number, have ZERO FAITH I will be contacted back, they don't seem to care. Update: 7 days later, no manager called. These guys just do not care, way to treat a good and EX customer. #fail
