This establishment touts themselves as a healthy food restaurant, which they definitely have…read more However, they also have not so healthy items like an array of fried foods which are mostly on the kids menu. We tried a mango pineapple smoothie which is only made with almond milk. Unfortunately, with an almond allergy we asked them to use water only, so the consistency was different, but was still tasty. We also tried the crispy chicken wrap, Caesar salad wrap, grilled protein bowl, and a Dubai chocolate cheese cake. Everything was ok to good. It was all very fresh, but the steak in the protein bowl was chewy, some things lacked a little flavor, while others were very flavorful. So just a bit inconsistent. Service was friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself is intimate and cute. I would return if in the area, and try something different.

The Bosphorus, the 32-kilometer (20-mile)-long north-south strait, has been a waterway of the…read morehighest importance since ancient times in Turkey. Its English name comes from a Greek legend: Zeus had an affair with a beautiful woman named Io. When Hera, his wife, discovered his infidelity, she turned Io into a cow and created a horsefly to sting her on the rump. Io jumped clear across the strait. Thus, "bous" = "cow" and "poros" = "crossing place": Bosphorus = "crossing place of the cow." Located off of busy Franklin Avenue in Nutley, my partner, our friends, and I have decided on our dinner at this family-owned-and-run BYOB establishment, which has been open since 1995. A reservation was made for a party of 4 by calling their restaurant. Upon arrival after three years, we were welcomed by Nora, the owner, and made our way to a table by the piano inside, evoking a cozy, thoughtfully designed, upscale vibe with music playing softly. Their menu features Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. For starters, we decided on the Puffed Rill Pastry and Grape Leaves. Our main meal consisted of all lamb dishes (Lamb Shish Kebab, Beyti Kebab, Lamb Chops, and Lamb Sauté). Our food was fresh, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection, accompanied by a beautifully presented dish. Everything was authentically made with love here. Wish we could have stayed for dessert, as they looked amazing, but some of us were in a rush. It's definitely on the higher end cost but worth the taste. Our visit ended with a hug and a piece of candy.

The brunch menu has all the classics but with a Lebanese twist. They also feature their entire regular menu too so you will find something. I tried to the Middle Eastern eggs which came with fried eggs, humus, labne, salad, and a pita. It's pricey at $16 but it was a well balanced and flavored meal. My husband got a granola bowl with honey and fruit and it was a very generous portion with some amazing fresh fruit! Overall, give it a try for both brunch classics or to try something new!

I make mention that there are 5 empty tables. I confirm they close at 9pm and he states this is correct. He then proceeds to say they are running out of food and only have enough for the people who made reservations. It is hard to believe that 15 people are coming at the last minute to order large quantities of food. Another Black family was walking up and we warned them they would be denied service as we were.

Service was…read morefantastic, the server took my umbrella for me and the chef came out to greet me and asked me how I was doing. The bread served was super soft and had great taste. The olive oil didn't seem to pair super well with it though. Got the Adana kebab and mixed grill to go (sampled all the items at the restaurant while still hot). Chicken shish- fairly tender. Slightly charred. Good flavor Lamb shish- cooked ~ medium with a little pink. Good flavor but could be a bit more tender. I do prefer my meats medium rare so it could just be that. Adana kebab- Tender, good flavor. I think it could've been a bit juicier? Burger- super tender and full of flavor. Best meat by far. Veggies and rice- both very good. I appreciate the attention to the sides. Service - 10/10 Food- 8/10

Beautiful, Fresh, and Worth a Visit…read more I stopped by this cute, beautiful, and very clean restaurant a few nights ago, and I'm really glad I did. My wife tried the branzino, while I decided to go with the dorado. Both fish were fresh, perfectly cooked, and very well flavored. The ambiance is also fantastic--warm, inviting, and a place where you can actually relax and enjoy your meal. To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised by the prices. The portions were generous, and the prices felt very reasonable for the quality. I definitely want to come back and try some of their other dishes, especially the shish kebabs and lamb kebabs. I highly recommend giving this place a try. You won't be disappointed!

My favorite entree is the vegetarian platter for two, called Vegan Strong, which includes freshly prepared tofu, hummus, delicious bread, and a variety of vegetables. The spicing is tasty and distinctive without being overwhelming. The desserts here, mostly different varieties of healthy cakes, are also top notch. The smoothies are excellent; my favorite is the protein bomb. The atmosphere includes many local people enjoying a break from their jobs or school assignments. The people here are friendly and you can often enjoy a conversation with someone you didn't previously know.

Service was great and wonderful, the young lady always checked up to make sure everything was great. Food was so tasty & had flavor to it! I had ordered octopus with hummus, it was very well cooked & I had to have pita on the side. I also ordered shish kebab filet mignon & as well very well cooked, not overcooked or dry at all. The rice was plain, which was okay for me. The onions definitely made up for it to combine it together. To top it off I also got fried calamari, it was a little bit chewy overall still had flavor to it. My go to drink was a mint lemonade that they make it into a slushie. I never had a mint lemonade so the taste to the drink was new to me but I loved it! You could bring your own liquor becusse they do not sell that. Overall amazing place for a quick lunch or dinner!

A special shout-out to Rola, the owner, who personally came out to check on us and make sure everything was going well, which really shows how much care goes into the experience. It's also BYOB, which is a nice bonus and makes the night even better. Definitely a spot worth visiting again for great Mediterranean food, a fun vibe, and an energetic atmosphere.
