I've been here a few times over the years. Starting with a place to get food to my dad who had issues with traveling and then just for myself and Lovey when we were in town. It's a lovely restaurant and the owners are friendly and happy to chat. Seeing as I grew up in this town, it was kind of weird to see such a great Middle Eastern place take hold - back in the day it was Chinese or Italian and that's IT. We've tried a fairly extensive range of their offerings, appetizers to entrees, and they're uniformly well made and well presented. Lots of parking in the lot in back and other than the longish walk around the block to get to the front door, nothing to criticize about access. read more

Great atmosphere, great service. I personally found the food mediocre but all of it tasted fresh. I had the lentil soup & my wife had the chicken soup, both were bland in our opinion & the lentil soup was a really light consistency which was not what I was expecting, calamari was really 10/10 fresh with good light breading but sauce was bland & did nothing for it. I tasted piece of the chicken in the chicken salad & it was really good & well flavored so it was kind of puzzling to me that The chicken thigh lacked flavor even though the chicken itself was fresh & delicately grilled, vegetables was great especially the baby potatoes, rice was meh! But it came with no kind of sauce. There were at least 3 tables celebrating their birthday which I took for a good sign & place appears child friendly without being annoying so it seems like a great neighborhood spot. With good atmosphere & great service, & fresh ingredients, I was somewhat disappointed in the lack of flavors in several dishes but I would still cautiously recommend this place if you live in the neighborhood but I would not go out of my way to get to this restaurant. read more

Great experience and delicious food at one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in New Jersey! Service was friendly and responsive, although it was late afternoon so pretty empty inside. I'm sure it can get pretty busy during regular dinner hours. I usually have an aversion to lamb since it can be pretty gamey but the server convinced me that the Monti had only such a small amount that it would not really be noticeable. He was right, although the dumplings had probably too much dough for my taste. I would have preferred bigger dumplings with more ingredients inside rather than these tiny portions, but it was nonetheless tasty because of the sauce. The sautéed seafood platter was very good in a tomato base which wasn't too strong and just right. Very nice generous mixture of different seafood, including calamari, shrimp, and scallops. I'm not much of a bread eater, but the pita offering at the beginning was a nice touch although not very tasty even with the olive oil. The highlight for me was certainly the grilled octopus appetizer. Grilled just perfectly where it was not too chewy and with ample amounts. This was probably the best grilled octopus appetizer that I've ever had! My only issue with the restaurant was it's on a busy corner with very limited street parking. There is a parking lot in the rear, but it's reserved for other retail establishments and not this restaurant. I'm not sure if they would actually tow the vehicle but it's still a risk to find parking. Definitely will be coming back to try other menu options, but certainly will have the grilled octopus again! read more

Looking for a full meal, great service, and excellent pricing for lunch? Go to 460 Bistro in Orange,NJ. We went for lunch with 7 other church friends while in town at our district conference. We enjoyed a 3 course meal that was tasty and prepared with excellence. Soup, various dipping dishes, hot pita bread, and grilled salmon as the entree. The ambiance was nicely decorated in Mediterranean flair and clean. Service was great as the waiters attended to our every need. And did I mention the sangria! Great place to visit in NJ. read more

Ate here this evening after flying in from Phoenix. Street parking in front, pretty easy. Sat quickly, waiters very friendly, attentive, professional, and patient to explain the dishes. We started with Falafel--best we've ever had. Ever. Perfectly cooked, excellent flavor, not overly dry, sitting on smooth hummus, and salad with balsamic. We followed that up with Stuffed Cabbage and Greek Moussaka. Both just knocked out of the park. Unbelievably good. And extremely fairly priced! Finished with Kunefe which was just heavenly. Spoke with owner, very nice, professional, friendly, and truly interested in customers having a great experience and meal. This could not be any better! Thank you! Nice quiet restaurant, but very easy to talk to your fellow diners. read more

We stopped in on a whim last night. I called to see what the wait would be for 2 people, we were given seats at the bar which was fine with us but the hostess could not have been more accommodating to make sure we we seated at a table. The drinks were good. We ordered tzatziki (delicious), pita, falafel (amazing) and the grill sampler to share. The chicken was some of the tastiest and juiciest chicken I have ever had. The rice was perfect and seasoned phenomenally. I don't usually eat/ like lamb but these were perfect. The meatballs in the sampler were also quite good. We did not have dessert. The wait staff were all attentive (without hovering) and the hostess checks in on all tables. Overall a great dining experience in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. read more

Grilled dorado was good. Chicken adana was ok. Grilled octopus appetizer was dry & chewy. There was more salad than octopus.

We came with another family and essentially had the entire outside dining area to ourselves. It was nice and peaceful and well lit. Food was pretty tasty (not over the top, but as expected) and waiters were attentive. read more

What a pleasant surprise this place was! I'd passed by it oodles of times but finally got the chance to go in recently. It was not what I expected-- it was so much better! The interior is nicely decorated but not overdone. It's a very welcoming atmosphere and is fancy-ish (in a good way) comparative to its locations and the typical quick bite eateries in the surrounding area. I only had time/appetite for a quick bite, so I ordered the lentil soup and kibbeh-- both cooked to perfection. While it didn't need it, I did splash some lemon in the soup (comes with a slice) and omg, it totally opened up the taste. They serve it with Turkish pita bread, which was perfectly warm and soft! The kibbeh was delicious, NOT too heavy, not at all oily- as many places can tend to be- just really balanced and scrumptious. The surprise winner of the meal was the perrrrrfect lebneh on which the kibbeh comes served. Perfectly balanced in taste and brightly lemony. For someone who usually doesn't eat dairy, I'm sure I coulda fooled folks :) This is a family-owned business and, let me tell you, you are treated so well! The staff were so sweet and attentive. They were so hospitable and you could just tell that the every dish there is (Warning: corny alert ‼) cooked with love. (Yeah, I said it.) This is one of those places where you look for a reason to go back (not like you need one). Seriously though, with its family atmosphere and amazing food, this is a great place for small (4-6 ppl) groups, especially multigenerational family dinners. I literally gave the owner (count 'em, two!). read more

The red pepper and beet dips were very good as were the pita. The lamb kebabs had some flavor but were inconsistently cooked. The fish dishes were excellent. The popular desert was okay, and very unique. Service was very good and a coffeehouse covers relaxed and yet trendy ambiance. read more

Great spot for Turkish food. Apps: fried calamari, zucchini pancakes, beet and arugula salad, all excellent. Husband and I shared the mixed grill which was also very good. Nice that they have a bar; don't sleep on the pear margarita-great drink. BYOB with a corkage fee which is cool. Service excellent. All in all, a top spot. read more

Finally stopped in for brunch. Very friendly staff and nicely renovated, very clean. We started with the trio of Baba Ghanoush, Tzatziki and Hummus. All delicious and served with excellent hot puffy pitas. We both had the Lamb Shish, cooked perfectly served with veg, potatoes and rice pilaf. Very filling and tasty. Staff checked in on us as did the chef. We will definitely be back! read more

I enjoyed a nice dinner at 460 Bistro with my husband last weekend. This was our first time here after countless times saying to each other that we needed to try this place out. The inside of this corner restaurant is way more spacious than it appears from outside. We both commented on how we liked the decor of the place and liked the light fixtures. We were seated at a cozy booth by the host. All the staff at 460 Bistro were friendly. Food was very good. Pita bread was bought to our table, warm and soft. I ordered adana kebab and my husband ordered falafel. He loved his entree, saying that the hummus with his falafel was delicious. The vegetables with my kebab were fresh and tasty, and the rice was perfectly cooked. We rounded off our meal with an espresso and Turkish tea. Overall a wonderful dining experience. Recommended! read more

We are delighted about the menu, the service, the food and the atmosphere with customized decorations: three chandeliers, two post lights, and various mirrors. Also the four outside tables with orange-colored umbrella facing east will provide plenty of shade in the afternoon. The lawn is beautifully manicure. Upon talking to all three staffers, the restaurant opened since three years ago. The chef/owner and the staffers came from Istanbul, Turkey. Not only we will be back, we will rave to our friends and families. Our experience is truly remarkable and more than expected. read more

We had come here dozens of times for the previous restaurant, and this was our first time trying 460 Bistro. Everything was fresh & exceptionally prepared. The service was very attentive, but not annoying, and everything we tried was delicious. Our waitress was very helpful and suggested that we try the pink lady (which I did) and I did not regret it. The lamb shish was grilled perfectly. They even brought out a little birthday tray for our coworkers special day. Just note that there is a 3.5% fee for credit card use. We will definitely be back. read more

Went for New Year's Eve dinner. This place is so under the radar, because of the location. It has great food, great drinks, great tea. Nice decor. I think there's a small party room in the back.

My wife and I got two of the more expensive meals which was a mistake. She for the lamb chops and I got the grilled fish. Both looked tasty but had zero flavor. No sauce. No salt. No pepper. Just blandness and a high price tag. For over $100 we could have gone somewhere good....hell, even TGI Fridays would have been far better. Definitely not coming back. read more

I have left a previous review regarding catering being exceptional. Since I had a party catered by them, we have come back to the restaurant many times, including tonight. EVERY time the food is incredibly good, very attentive service, and a beautiful atmosphere. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and you must try their Turkish baklava for dessert... The absolute BEST we've ever had! read more
