Went on Labor Day to pick up a late night snack; I placed the order online and it took about 15…read moreminutes for the text saying it was ready. Once I got inside, I was unfortunately waiting for another 10 minutes to even be seen as no one was at the front - one lady kept going in and out of the kitchen serving the one table they had, but she didn't pay me any mind -. Onto the food: the shawarma was alright, not great nor the best I've had in Jersey - the meat wasn't as flavorful as other places; it came with pickles which was very new to me as I've never had shawarma that came with it. The fries, though, were really good! Very well seasoned and crispy so I definitely give them props for that. The place seems fairly spacious if you do decide to eat in. My main concern and the reason why I'm giving them 3 stars (on top of the fact that the shawarma was only okay) is how long it took for them to address me. I think they should have a bell or a button for people to press so the people in the kitchen know there's someone waiting.

If you're anywhere near Montclair and haven't tried Chicken and Shawarma Express yet, you're…read moreseriously missing out. The hospitality here is phenomenal--the kind of genuine, welcoming vibe that makes you feel like family the moment you walk in. Now let's talk food: the portions are huge. Even as someone who loves to eat, I could've easily shared my plate. I had the chicken and lamb over rice--absolutely packed with flavor--and the steak fries, which were perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. Both were super, super, super delicious. No exaggeration. This spot delivers on flavor, quantity, and good vibes. Highly recommend. Open late which is always amazing around here!

We were not greeted right away, and it took a while for our order to be taken, which seemed inconvenient considering that when we walked in, there was only one other table . I order their make your own omelette, which was OK. It didn't have much flavor and the mushrooms were a bit hard. The toast was very buttery, which was in bad, but it did feel like they had put a lot more than one may want on it. The coffee was also OK, a bit bitter for my liking and they didn't have any milk just the creamer that comes in the prepackaged cups . They have a lot of seating and pretty good light as well as decorations near the window. Unfortunately, one of the glasses we were given, was very chipped and it looked dirty - thankfully it wasn't dirty, but it was still not great that we were given a chipped glass. Overall, I unfortunately, will not be coming back here as the quality of the food was not what I would've liked.

When I walked in, there were a few patrons and I was greeted warmly by the hostess. Since I was alone I got choice of seating in any of the 2 seated booths. I ordered the waffle but customized it and my waitress was very patient and attentive. Never said something wasn't available or couldn't be substituted. My food came and I enjoyed it. Didn't think I would like the lemon curd but it was quite tasty and the tartness balanced out the sweet from the strawberries and syrup. The atmosphere was chill as a diner has that vibe. I enjoyed my time. Only negative I would say is the addle wasn't as hot as I'd like it. Otherwise I would return for another Sunday brunch. Seems like some tasty items on the extensive menu.

Loads of chickpeas, carrots, cucumber, red onion, red pepper, and artichoke hearts all topped with a lemon thyme vinaigrette. So refreshing and delicious. I will crave this salad. My friends had a Cheesesteak Panini with Fries, and Eggs with Corned Beef Hash. They both really enjoyed their dishes. And again, the portions were ample. This is a really solid, affordable, and pleasant spot in Montclair. I will return.

Located in Montclair, this small breakfast and lunch spot is a local favorite. The service was really good, they were very attentive to our large group and my toddler. They had some books for him.

The sourness of the seasoning went really well with the plain bean and tortilla taste and complimented the eggs well. Everyone at the table was satisfied with their meal. My son had the oatmeal, he loved it and he's not an oatmeal lover usually!
