While much of the store is not exactly my taste, they do have very pretty items which have universal appeal. They carry lots of great lines, like Michael Aram, Juliska, Simon Pierce and Vera Bradley. They do wedding registries, and usually get to know the brides and their tastes -- so even if you don't find something in your budget on the bride's registry, they will suggest something else she might like. Overall, a friendly home decor & gift shop, with great personalized service.

A few years ago, i was exploring Montclair and I came across this store. The door was unlocked and…read moresaw a open sign on the window. I stepped in and started to look around, only to be met with a man telling me that the store was closed. He came off as rude. I told him that the sign says open and the door was unlocked and he told me "well its closed". Mind u this was my first time in Montclair, this memory forever makes me not want to step foot in this shop. Just the bad vibe i got from this man:/.

The food is incredibly flavorful, everything from the creamy hummus to the smoky baba ghanoush to the juicy chicken shawarma tasted homemade in the best way. The pomegranate chicken was a standout, sweet, tangy, and full of depth. I loved the special brunch board-it had a little bit of everything! Chef Jumana has created something really special here. You can feel the love and intention behind every dish. It's BYOB, and they also have a small market inside with Middle Eastern spices and goods to take home. Can't wait to go back!

I was truly looking forward to enjoying this place because the Yelp reviews seem to rave about the…read morecozy atmosphere, wonderful service, and the fresh food preparation. But although I found the restaurant to be cozy and my server to be friendly, the food though freshly prepared was just average at best. Let me explain. So, after perusing the menu, I saw a few Mediterranean staples, such as, baba-ghanoush, lentil soup, and a beef Shawarma entrée. So I decided to order all three of those items. Now, let me tell you not only was I excited to taste the food here, but I truly wanted to experience what a majority of people on yelp said about this place and its food. But I soon discovered that you truly cannot trust other peoples opinions when it comes to food. You just literally have to try it yourself to see if it even resembles that cuisines standard benchmarks. Well anyway, let me get to what I thought about the food. The lentil soup it's pretty tasty, but it would serve lukewarm. The baba-ghanoush was also tasty, but the pita bread was stale and void of any flavor. And as for the so-called Beef Shawarma entrée, it was literally chopped up cubes of beef! Nothing near to what a standard Shawarma entrée should resemble, or let alone taste like! To be quite honest, I was so disenchanted with the Shawarma entrée that I asked my server to take it away and just give me the bill. I was ready to go! But my server genuinely saw my disappointment with this so-called Beef Shawarma that she pleaded with me to try another entrée. So I asked her to recommend another entrée to me. And she recommended the Skewered Chicken entrée. So, I caved in and went ahead and ordered this Skewered Chicken entrée. But I should've just went with my gut feeling and just should have paid the bill and left. I say this because it took forever for them to prepare this Skewered Chicken entrée and I mean forever! And this is on a Tuesday night with only two other people inside the restaurant, so literally this place was empty! (Not sure if the Cook made me wait for this dish out of spite for me sending back the first entree but that is my suspicion). Anyway, I got my server's attention and she told me if I could wait a few more minutes because they were plating my dish and that it will be out shortly. And that literally took another 10 minutes. To say that I was eager to get out of this place would be an understatement. I was standing up literally putting on my jacket when the dish finally reached my table. My server asked me kindly to return to my seat and to try her recommended entrée. So I gave her the benefit of the doubt and I did so. The Skewered Chicken entrée was a little better than the so-called Beef Shawarma entrée, but really nothing to write home about. What a letdown! I really wanted to give this restaurant one star, but my server really showed genuine concern about my dining experience. And I truly appreciated that. And so as for my take on Le Souk of Montclair NJ. I would caution spending your hard earned money at this restaurant. The food is mediocre at best and there are a lot of better options in the Montclair area for Mediterranean food.

Crystals, CBD infused everything, homemade soaps, jewelry, clothing, oils, vinegar and other condiments, cake & cookie mixes, ready to eat snacks, etc. Indeed, it's quite the eclectic collection. The owner, Kristen Zachares, seems extremely supportive of the local vendors who rent space in her store. She reached out to one of the makers, on my behalf, about a cookie mix without chocolate, took down my phone number and immediately contacted me once hearing back from the maker. In addition to the Buddha chip cookie mix, she is also making oatmeal raisin and sugar cookie kits! Kristen stated she will contact me and leave one to the side when it arrives. I'm sold before it even makes it into the store simply because of the overall exceptional customer service. Would highly recommend a visit to support/buy local. Great store for gifts or be selfish : )
