I recently had the pleasure of dining at this remarkable restaurant. I must say it exceeded all my expectations. As a lover of authentic Mediterranean cuisine, I was delighted to discover that this establishment truly excelled in delivering the most delectable flavors I have encountered in quite some time. We had the privilege of hosting a birthday party at this establishment, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable, ensuring that every aspect of our celebration was flawlessly executed. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, displaying a level of attentiveness and genuine warmth that truly enhanced our dining experience. The star of the evening was undoubtedly the food. Each dish presented an explosion of Mediterranean flavors. From the perfectly grilled kebabs to the aromatic rice pilaf, every bite was a tantalizing journey through the Mediterranean culinary heritage. The chefs showcased their mastery of blending spices and ingredients, resulting in a symphony of flavors that left me yearning for more. The restaurant's prime location, nestled near Manhattan, added an extra touch of allure to the overall experience. I cannot praise the staff enough for their genuine friendliness and kindness. They effortlessly created a welcoming ambiance, making us feel like valued guests throughout the evening. Their passion for their craft shone through in every interaction, further enhancing our dining pleasure. If you are seeking an extraordinary dining experience where authentic Mediterranean cuisine takes center stage, look no further. This restaurant offers a superb blend of exceptional food, impeccable service, and a warm, friendly atmosphere. Whether you are planning a special celebration or simply looking for a memorable culinary adventure, this establishment is guaranteed to exceed your expectations. read more

We recently celebrated a birthday at Lulu's Mediterranean restaurant in Edgewater, NJ, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! We had a large group of over 14 people, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. The atmosphere was warm, clean, and welcoming, which set the tone for a great evening. We started with the Combination Mezze Platter, which included an assortment of fresh cold mezze like babaganoush, hummus, santorini, bodrum, tirokafteri, and muammara. Each bite was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For hot appetizers, the shrimp (baby shrimp with green pepper, paprika, and garlic) and the liver (calf's liver with sumac and onion salad) were both standouts. I'll admit, the liver was so delicious it was even better than my mom's--sorry, Mom! For entrées, we shared the Mixed Grill, which came with juicy skewers of chicken, adana, and kofte served with romaine hearts, as well as the Shashlik, featuring a tender NY strip steak skewer with rice and muhammara dip. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were incredible. The only minor feedback I have is that since the restaurant has a hookah lounge, the smoke could feel a little overwhelming at times. Better ventilation would be a great improvement. All in all, our experience at Lulu's exceeded expectations, and I can't wait to go back! From the attentive servers to the delicious food, everything was above and beyond. Highly recommend for a celebration or any special occasion! read more

Lulu Lounge presents a bit of a culinary conundrum. The food, though decent, comes with a side of confusion and a hefty price tag. When you order "Lamb" you don't expect shawarma but if you do you do not expect lamb prices. The taste was there, but the menu description did not correlate with the product and was a bit questionable. As for the service, it was perplexing. Who exactly was our waitress? We found ourselves passing our requests around like a game of telephone, with several staff members stepping in and out of the role. The prices, unfortunately, didn't match the overall experience. The food was agreeable, but not impressive enough to warrant the higher-than-average cost, feeling like a bit of a bait and switch. In a nutshell, Lulu Lounge offers an alright dining experience, but prepare your wallets and your patience. It's a place where the lamb is shawarma, and your waitress could be anyone. Proceed with caution. read more

I was there last night with my friends and first that I can say the ambiance is so good in this restaurant. They hvave huge outdoor seating and you don't have to worry about covid because they put separator between each table. Food was amazing and the service was great.

As maincourse we picked grilled branzino mix grilled and chicken penne pasta also were tasty and yummy. I highly recommended this place having brunch and dinner. Definitely go back! read more

I recently visited Lulu Mediterranean Grill (or Mara Restaurant & Bar), and I had an amazing experience! The atmosphere was inviting and cozy, and the staff were very welcoming. I want to give a special shout-out to one of the ladies, a wonderful Ethiopian woman, whose service stood out. She was incredibly polite, professional, and attentive. Her kindness made the experience even better, and I'll never forget how great she was.The food was delicious, and I highly recommend this place for anyone who enjoys Mediterranean cuisine. I'll definitely be back! read more

This place is biob but a small pitcher of juice is $25......it's small. The food looked like it tasted good but it didn't have that much flavor. The place is expensive and in a cut. If you like hookah, go here. Make sure to bring wine and not liquor (for those who like to mix their drinks) so you don't have to buy a pitcher of juice or soda. Overall the service was very good, the music is good, the atmosphere is cool. Like I said, the food is hahaha and very expensive in my opinion, but if you like hookah and alcohol, this is your place. read more

One of my favorite places in Jersey! So many food options, their red pepper hummus and lamb shish are to die for! The lemonade was also super fresh! And all of the dessert options are absolutely amazing! The service was prompt and attentive throughout the meal, adding to the overall pleasant experience. I highly recommend Lulu Mediterranean to anyone craving authentic Mediterranean cuisine. You won't be disappointed! read more

Great service with good quality food in Edgewater. We were at Lulu Saturday night that they had line for 150 people. They got our name and number and called back 2 hours later that they already told us when we got there. Atmosphere is really good in this lounge. They play house deep and hip hop and this is plus byob. Perfect experience! read more
