    Delicious food as always. We have been long time fans of Cinar and we’re sad when the West Caldwell location closed. We love to order in but decided to visit today for lunch. We got 3 lunch specials of chicken shish with lentil soups and one shepherds salad. We also go the lamb kebab, Turkish tea, and baklava to share for dessert. Our server Yigit was super friendly and provided excellent service. He comes from the Cliffside Park location which we plan on visiting next! We ❤️ Cinar!!!!

    Worst food ever. I ordered the mixed kebab for two and couldn’t eat it. The taste was terrible, and the meat wasn’t even cooked properly. Extremely disappointing experience and a complete waste of money. I would not recommend this place at all.Only good thing was the rice rest is trash.

    We ordered a mixed grill, soup, and fries and honestly, the only thing that was even enjoyable were the fries. The meatball, Adana kebab, shish kebab, and chicken Adana kebab all tasted like they had been reheated in a microwave! They all were overcooked! The shish kebab was not fresh at all, you could tell it wasn’t freshly cooked! We tried two different kinds of soups and chicken soup was a disaster! They just put whatever they can find and boiled it with chicken! I can’t believe I’m saying this, but even the tea wasn’t drinkable! Seriously, it just a tea, how simple could it be! I’m really disappointed, especially since a friend had recommended this place!
