The GoodWell the restaurant is beautiful. No doubt about that. Stylish in the middle of where you need to be?Looks very accommodating. Two floors sitting area and a really really nice view to the street.My gyro beef was good. Not excellent but goodMy wife chicken gyro was nice. If I would put it in stars, let's say that my beef gyro was three stars but my wife chicken gyro was two stars out of fiveThe bed? Everything else...The service was very coldSurprisingly.. Middle Eastern hospitality is famous for or very very generous hospitality and accommodation of the hosts. Here it was well. Quite the oppositeSour faces especially from our host which was very disappointing.The hummus was very bland and wateryThe falafel was horrendous. I never tasted something like this and I hope I will never taste it again. It was bitter really bitter. You went up your throat and just stay there. Took a lot of time and a lot of other stuff to take it outAnd that means for the taste.You ever try the falafel here and it's your first time you try falafel. Don't get discouraged. Just try it somewhere else. The falafel does not supposed to taste like thatThe baba ghanous on the other hand was great. Four stars out of five our bill was $74 which is a lot of money for just two people and not a whole lot of food.I wish they will improve because it is a great location with a lot of potential.

Went to enjoy a nice family dinner as a group of 7, and we were really excited to check this place out. We ordered, and the wait staff seemed really polite and were able to accommodate us. When we received the food there was an issue with the side order that came with my dish (I got the wrong one) so I let one of the waiters know since our waiter was floating around. The waiter I spoke to apologized and told me I could start eating so the food wouldn’t get cold and that he would correct the mistake, and I thought all was fine. Then, the other waiter who was responsible for taking our food came over and berated me. He raised his voice and told me that I did not order the side I wanted and he did not recall me ever saying it during the order process. He told me it NEVER happened and that I was wrong multiple times and raised his voice. I wish I was kidding because this was extremely humiliating and embarrassing. I have NEVER been treated like this before, and was embarrassed of causing a scene while everyone was dining in. I had a hard time trying to enjoy my meal with my family because it was so ridiculous. It was one literal side of my dish, but that’s all it took to get me yelled at and called out by the waiter. I can’t imagine what would have happened if the entire dish was wrong.

SO GOOD!!Honestly out of the thounsands of times I’ve ate here my food was always on point. I’ve never been disappointed. It always feels like a big family gathering whenever I dine in here! The falafel is really good & not only just that they have so many options & the food is super tasty! From the appetizers to dessert the food is always great!

The room are decent (even of a Little bit crowded and kitch) and the waiter was very kind. Appetizers were good. Maybe I was the unlucky One, but my Lamb casseruole was definetively not so good. The meat was too cooked, and the sauce/side untasty.Maybe you should Simply try something else...

Good food, fast service, fair prices - trifecta??

Nice Turkish spot in New Brunswick NJ. The food was pretty good and hit the spot. The inside upstairs was pretty nice too I love all the lamps and lights going up the stairs.The only thing that was kinda disappointing was the waitress wasn’t really good. She had a little attitude and didn’t seem like she wanted to be there working. I still left a $20 tip which I’m sure in these places are nothing special.Parking next to the restaurant isn’t that bad but the streets over here are very small. Kind of like a smaller version of parking in Brooklyn.Whenever I’m in New Jersey I’ll check this place out again. Hopefully they have better waitresses working.

Good food. Came here for dinner with a group of 23. Service was excellent as well. The surprising thing is in addition to good food the deserts were very nice as well. The New Brunswick setup seems to be the best in the area.

Was here twice in the past couple weeks. The first time dine in and absolutely great. The second time was delivery and an absolute mess.I ordered around 1:10pm online through the website. At about 2:30 I called to check on my order since it had not arrived. It turns out because of some mix up the food never got sent for delivery. Guy on the phone says no problem it'll get it right out. When the food arrives it's cold. The fries under the meat were soggy and felt like sponges of oil the salmon felt like an ice pack.I understand mistakes happen but for the $58 dollars we paid for a garden salad, salmon and gyro you should remake it if its been sitting. We also pre added a tip of $7 for food that came an 1hr 40 late. Completely unacceptable. You've lost a customer.

Got the cheese sticks and the eggplant app (the cheese sticks were feta in filo dough)I got the chicken yoghurt and my girlfriend got the lamb.Both were delicious and tender with nice tomato and chili garnish.The staff was attentive and friendly.I'm a big fan. Definitely going back for more!

I was there at this restaurant on Dec 18th to celebrate my wife's b-day with my friends. The main waitress/cashier Ms. Sarah and the owner of this place were very rude. I was unknowingly charged extra for sharing the platter (which was not at all specified in the menu as well as verbally at the time of placing the order). Additionally, despite confirming me at the time of making a reservation to allow a small cake cutting at the end of the dinner, they refused to do a small cake cutting at the end and told us to take away the cake. Very rude and very un-professional service by them. This just spoilt our mood and the celebration!!!
