Such a wonderful experience! Everything we tried was fresh, delicious, and prepared with great care. It was especially nice to find authentic Turkish flavors and that comforting homemade touch. The portions were generous, the presentation was beautiful, and the staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Between the quality of the food and the warm atmosphere, this is definitely a place I’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Turkish cuisine! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had dinner with my wife at Cinar Restaurant in Livingston. Upon the chef's recommendation, we first ordered lentil soup and then had the meatballs with butter on pita bread, which we loved! The service was excellent. We also really enjoyed the hummus and lebneh from the meze selection—I highly recommend them. You should definitely try the shepherd's salad as well:)
We heard from close friends that this location was under NEW OWNERSHIP (only 2 weeks or so), not a franchise but an authentic TURKISH family owned business just 2 towns over…..so, with Turkish guests visiting from Queens, NY 😁 last minute on a Friday night, this location was perfect.
FYI - bring your own special wine & be ready to enjoy this authentic TURKISH food with family and friends: CHEERS….. I plan to be a regular!

Ohhhh be sure to ask for their delicious dessert options that go great with the famous TURKISH TEA 😉

We had an incredible family dinner at Cinar Restaurant in Livingston! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and perfect for a family meal. The service was top notch, friendly, and quick without feeling rushed.
As for the food, everything tasted amazingly fresh and high quality. The cold appetizer platter with all the fresh mezes was a fantastic start, the garden salad was crisp and vibrant, and the grilled salmon was cooked to absolute perfection tender, flavorful, and paired so well with grilled veggies.
You can really tell they care about what they put on the plate.
Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for delicious, authentic food and a great family friendly environment. We'll definitely be back!

5/10 honestly. Food was very disappointing.
Service 5/5
Atmosphere 8/10
Food 5/10
Very underwhelming. I order a bowl and there were maybe 7-8 pieces of chicken with an entire bowl filled with vegetables and rice and sauce. I had a few bites and after the meat was gone it tasted too bland to finish. Overall 3/10 for that dish
The 2 lunch wraps were both the 2 different chicken wraps both were solid 7/10. Fries quantity were a joke like 15 fries lol. (Atleast they were crunchy and tasty)
No pics of wraps but were decent sized. Lentil soup was very good 7.5/10
Not sure if I’d come back
