The food is amazing. We got the grilled salmon and lamb chops and both were seasoned to perfection. Get the mashed potato's as a side! There are two dining rooms, the front is quieter, less lively while the back has TV's on the wall and music playing. Loved the nicotine free hookah options. Its BYOB and they do have a $10 surcharge/bottle up to 4 people and we found a $26 "service charge" on the bill - we chalked it up to covid, but it still came as a surprise. My only concern was that as the night went on, the social distancing between tables became almost nonexistent and people were being seated less than 6ft away. That was my cue to get the bill and head out. read more

Awful the worst experience ever the chicken I received was under cooked and the beef felt like leather.. if you want salmonella this is the best place to go.... the staff is rude and unclean. The health needs to seriously pay the a visit. read more

Antika Grill - I can't believe I paid 14$ for a sandwich !!!! 3-4 Pieces burrito wrap !!! With weird white garlic sauce.... don't waste your money there ! - Mediterranean Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

Literally the worst place I've ever been to. And I mean THE WORST. The owner is terrible - we waited for 2 hours from our reservation and then she had the nerve to tell us that we need to pay more. I've never experienced such terrible customer service in my life with an owner who is not apologetic, humble, or service friendly. I don't write reviews but felt this is well deserved. read more

Not for vegetarians. The only saving grace was the falafel. Ordered vegetable kabob platter as our entree -- can only call it pieces of vegetables slurped in fat with absolutely no flavor. We ordered for extra tahini, which did not arrive until one of us had to walk upfront to ask for it. I'm a big, big fan of Lebanese, and hardly write any negative reviews, but this was an extreme disappointment. read more

While for the most part in this ear was ok I couldn't helped but feel they were using black American for the dollars. I had to pay $100 to make a reservation then we were kicked out by their bouncer read more

Celebrate your birthday wedding graduation party with them food delightful love the vibe we had the gyro platter with a Greek salad it was delicious and a friend had the grilled chicken platter with the homemade potatoes read more

Outside dining was nice. Enjoyed the calamari and when I went there BYOB. Liquor store across the street. Many good photo ops and local crowd. read more

The food here is pretty good. I got something simple which was a salad and salmon. The salmon was nice and moist and the salad was well dressed without being overdone. I came for a birthday dinner and it was a Saturday night so I expected it to be busy and tight. Busy, it was but it was enough space for everyone to not be on top of one another. On top of it being a weekend night it was also fight night and they showed the fight (which I appreciated a great deal). They also provide hookah which is a big thing these days but i cant speak to that since I do not partake. All in all, I would probably come back to this place on a slow weeknight without so much noise. read more

Service was very slow , it took is a whole to get a server who brought us menus, not to mention the restaurant was very slow. The waiters and owners seemed to be setting up for an event and not all of them were even wearing masks, which is inconsiderate to customers. They also kept taking the number tag from our table multiple times without even bothering to say excuse me and continued to do so 2 more times. The food was average. Overall, would not return. read more

I have been coming to Antika grill for 3 years now it's my favorite Lebanese food spot and hooka spot good vibes great music great service every time I go the food gets better and better my favorite is all the appetizers and mixed grill platter and the garlic sauce is the best garlic sauce I had in any Mediterranean restaurant ! read more

I have no idea why this is labeled "$$$$" because the food is reasonably priced .. it should only really be "$$". I came on a Sunday around 1:30pm for lunch- no one was in the restaurant. Sat outside because we were also going to smoke hookah ($20 for ceramic hookah). The hookah menu had a lot of options- but we chose mint mixed with watermelon. The hookah pulled well the entire time we were there (a little over an hour) and the coal was only changed once. We shared the hummus appetizer ($6.99), which was generously portioned and definitely enough for 3 people. I like that the accompanying pita was thin and pre-packaged. For my main dish, I ordered the Fatoush salad ($9.99). The portion was huge and the lemon dressing was so savory and tasteful. The pita crisps on top really made it filling! Can't wait to come back for dinner one day! read more

Paid 22$ for a chicken kebab meal that came with 2 kebabs and a side. No tomato, onions, nothing at all like the pictures on yelp or their website. Literally two kebabs with french fries on a bare plate. I was totally underwhelmed. Music was good. Service was just okay. read more

Food, music and hookah is good. However a group of 7 women and I were chased down Bloomfield Avenue because the waitress Emma did not see the credit card in the bill envelope and assumed we skipped out on the bill! Her and her coworker chased us down the street and blamed us for not paying. How embarrassing ! Especially when we provided her with a credit card that she claimed she did not see and she failed to charge it. As soon as we went back inside she found the card exactly where we told her it was. In addition, instead of her apologizing for her oversight her response was "Well I didnt see it." DO NOT support this establishment! I am convinced she assumed that because we were black we skipped out on the bill! Racism at best read more

So happy I found this spot! The menu is halal, there are different areas to sit depending on your mood, the staff is super friendly and accommodating, and the food was on point! I found this place for my sister's bday dinner and so glad we came here. It was a party of about 8 and we were immediately seated in the room next to the outdoors area. It had a nice lounge vibe to it, different than the more restaurant looking area the main rooms have. There was some initial confusion about the menu and what we could order, but the owner of the place quickly settled it and allowed some in the party to order sandwiches (which they stop serving after a certain point to focus on their dinner menu). Very much appreciated the quick handling of this!!! Everyone enjoyed the food, from the sandwiches to kababs! The group ordered three hookahs, they were flavorful and pulled well. They put on those plastic hoses for each use so you don't need to use a tip if you don't want to. The coal was checked upon request and changed - which could be improved if it was checked automatically like most places I've gone to do. I brought a cake for my sister and the staff was very accommodating. They even put on two sparklers and a handheld one when they brought out the cake, clapped along to the bday song, and provided plates and utensils. All in all, fantastic place, great staff, super nice owner. Will definitely be coming back! Thanks Antika!!! read more

The lamb chops are my favorite, super flavorful, succulent and juicy. The hookah is a plus. The ambiance is nice as well.

I came here about 2 weeks ago with a gf and overall it was a decent experience. I ordered a gyro platter which was.....okay. Our waitress was not good but tried to understand as the restaurant was pretty busy. My main issue was asking her repeatedly for items only for her to come back empty handed. We asked for the check at least 3 times and it still took almost an hour (not exaggerating...we timed it). I'd come back because it's local, outdoor and an overall good vibe. FYI, this restaurant is BYOB but they charge a $10 bottle fee. read more

One of the few places that gets it right every time. The music, food and hookah are great, as is the ambiance.

Food tastes really good. My favorite Mediterranean restaurant. I ordered by phone and they made within 20 minutes.

Terrible experience. Place was overcrowded, packed, as if there was no pandemic. Not all staff was wearing masks. Service was chaotic and poor. Food was brought out so late that some had already finished their dinners. One person never even got any food. Swear to god. And the food itself was just ok. Will never go back. read more

YES PLEASE. I'm celiac so I have to eat gluten free - and there's finally a place I can confidently order from - knowing they take that seriously. Plus my family can get non gluten free food - because they prefer the gluten (for obvious reasons;) The burgers, lamb chops, chicken parm, fries, and desserts (strawberry shortcake, carrot cake, and cheesecake) -- all fantastic. And the owners are SO nice -- all around win on this one. read more

If you're going to this place, please be aware of the lack of customer service as well as the $20 "service fee" they include if you purchase hookah. I personally would not go here nor recommend anyone else to go here. Save your coins. There's a number of other Lebanese restaurants in the area that are better. read more

I try to come to this place at the oddest times in the week, but even on a Tuesday night, it is always packed. There's a reason to why it's always busy, Antika is so fun! Staff is great and attentive, and food is delicious. The crowd is lively, there's always a birthday celebration every 10 mins. I would recommend coming here if you want to have a great fun time with friends- not a date. It is always loud here (in a fun way). I definitely recommend getting a pitcher of the mint lemonade (great as a mixer for byob). I always come here and have a great time and never an issue with staff. Like any restaurant, don't be a dick to the people who serve you food!! read more

Food and hookah is always good. It's always packed but they make room and space for everyone. Recent menu change but nonetheless it's still amazing food read more

Great delicious food ! Very nice atmosphere and everything we had was very fresh and amazingly seasoned. The bathrooms are very clean and the overall experience is great . Everything we had was very good and we are very picky eaters ! read more

See all

I was very disappointed to go here for the first time and being told that my guests and I had to spend $35 per person to eat in your restaurant. This was not a fixed menu meal and I do not like anyone telling me how I should spend my money. I just wanted to experience a new restaurant and try an appetizer. I did not stay there. I decided to go to TGIF which was10 minutes away. I hope you reconsider telling people how munch they need to spend to enjoy a new experience. read more

I went to celebrate my birthday on a Friday night. The service was great, the food was great and the hookah was good quality and lasted for an extended period of time without needing a refill. The music was pretty good. If the had a live DJ read more

Prob one of the best chicken shawarmas I've had ! Great service even for a takeout and very well portions they give ! I'll definitely be back to dine in ! read more

To be honest this is a pretty decent spot, and they recently renovated the inside and has a gorgeous patio that makes it great to sit outside to eat or smoke hookah! I was happy to see that they allowed hookah on the inside as well. Though we only received a hookah (i can't write on any of the food) i felt that the service could be a bit better. I also happened to notice that when the bill was Brought they charged me for a service fee for byob which no one mentioned.. and when the swiped my card and brought the iPad the tip amount was outrageously wrong (which would've gone unnoticed if i was i a rush and didn't actually look at whAt i was hitting. That being said those were the only reasons i lost the two stars read more

This was a frustrating experience. After making a reservation, we show up within the grace period then are told that "we don't take reservations" AFTER we made reservations. Then tell us it's an hour wait. To my knowledge, reservations get priority tables... if you're delayed or behind, you should contact your reservation to inform them. read more

The people here are nice and the service is great. They treat everyone good. Me and my husband always get the combo/ trio. It gets live on fridays, they also have a outside area in the back. Me and my husband like the ambience. Parking isn't always the best in Montclair and that's why my husband gets the car while I wait in the front read more

I had high hopes for this place based on the 4-star reviews. After going there for dinner for Father's Day, I was extremely disappointed-especially with the service. It took about an hour to get our food, and when we finally got our food (after asking two people to check on it for us), it was extremely mediocre. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap which literally only had chicken in it. My sister got the shrimp salad which was okay, but for $19 it's not worth it at all The wait-time for our food, coupled with the scattered, inattentive service was a let down. There was also a huge party in the back with booming music that made it hard to hear my family sitting one foot away from me. read more

Very expensive. Had orange hookah and paid $61. It's just a hookah for God's sake. I should've checked what the bill included - my friend and I only had hookah. read more

This restaurant has it all it, there is nightly entertainment, like live music or Arabic style Dancing. The restaurant also offers a mixed array of Mediterranean food, some of my favorites are Lamb chops and Shish tawook, but not only do they have Mediterranean food but a large variety of foods that can cater to anyone's. Also, there are plenty of options for gluten free people. Another great thing about Antika is the outside seating for when the weather gets nice! And finally to top it all of one of the best parts about going to a sit down restaurant is the service and Antika is no exception people who work they can always make you leave with a full stomach and smile! read more

Great for bigger parties ...kinda tight but the food is amazing and their hookas are not bad as well .service was a little slow but great nonetheless . Overall a must try .they are byob np hard liquor ,so perfect for a little fun, nothing crazy read more

We order from antika all the time. The food is always fresh, delicious, and fast delivery. We order greek salad, chicken shish kabob, and hummus. When they make a mistake, they correct it immediately and make it right. 5/5 stars read more
