    Pretty bad experience. I said I had a gluten allergy and they brought bread to the table without even a comment. I asked for hummus as a side because the other sides were not gluten free… the hummus was frozen! I asked both of the waiters about the very cold hummus that I couldn’t eat… and they replied, well is a cold appetizer. The food was below average. Won’t be coming back here.

    We were pleasantly surprised by this cozy Mediterranean spot we stumbled upon while visiting New Brunswick. They have takeout downstairs and dining area upstairs. We shared a few dishes: eggplant salad, feta plate and falafel platter with creamy hummus. The tangy feta was served with slices of cucumbers, tomatoes and olives. The smooth humus was served with four falafel placed on top. The eggplant salad was seasoned well. The fresh baked bread definitely elevates the dishes. Everything was incredibly flavorful and clearly made with fresh ingredients. We didn't finish so don't over order. The service was another highlight. Our server was genuinely sweet and attentive as busy as it was. We didn't have room for dessert, but the baklava looked absolutely delicious - definitely something to come back for!

    Went to try this Turkish place after reading the rave reviews.The place really is beautiful, clean and lively.We went at the lunch hour and there was an amazing crowd. The complimentary bread was very fresh and comes with two dippings.Vegetarian selection was not very good.Ordered Mucver(fried zuchini) which was too oily.For entree we ordered Falafel sandwich and Spinach Manti Dumplings which were again just okay. But must try once.

    These guys are awesome, very professional and caring. I gave them a negative feedback 2 days ago and I am surprised to see them take an immediate action and fix it. Best restaurant in Central Jersey area.
