We brought their food to our welcome dinner the day before our wedding it was absolutely delicious and fresh. Simply a taste of home.Tony gave us more than enough food! He was amazing to work with, he is always so friendly and just a great person! We already went to his restaurant twice and you bet we will be back many more times.

Stumbled into here unexpectedly and decided to give it a try. They are more Israeli food which we were curious about as usually when having Middle Eastern we are more used to Afghani, Turkish, or so.

This place is phenomenal. Closest authentic Israeli cuisine to what I’ve had in Israel. I order catering for both work and personal events. Always a pleasure to work with them. Give them a try. You won’t be disappointed!

For my fellow vegans – the items labeled vegetarian are indeed vegetarian not vegan, so double check with the staff item by item if the particular item is vegan. I got a falafel platter and a side of baba ganoush. Everything tasted really fresh. The restaurant itself is quite big with ample seating and two restrooms. I don’t rate places serving animal products 5 stars but this is overall a good spot to grab a quick meal at. My only suggestion to the owners would be in addition to the vegetarian label to add a vegan label to make things easier for people.

Relaxing and homelike environment. Im always put in a pleasant mood when entering this place, and the food maintains this mood and raises it. I’m really into the chili sauce right now. It’s so good with everything! The Lamb and Beef kebabs taste and smell like great barbecue.

Whenever I’m feeling under the weather, my partner picks up a pint of their red lentil soup. It hits the spot every time. They have particularly excellent hummus and tahini — part of what makes their chicken shawarma taste so spectacular. Their pita is soft and fluffy, and their falafel isn’t too greasy. If you’ve ever walked past this place, you already know how irresistible it smells.

This restaurant is a must visit. Such yummy food and wonderful staff. Added to one of my favorite restaurants when I want to eat Hummus and Falafel. Pita was just amazing. Definitely visit again soon. Thank you for all the staff for a beautiful experience.

First thing first – the dining experience is not worth 20% gratuity. Be it ambience, cutlery or service. The ambience was a huge letdown, considering it is in Millburn downtown. The dining cutlery is also very basic.
