Four of us dined there each having a different meal, plus delicious appetizers & balloon bread. Service was superb with a wait staff that is fully knowledgeable about all of the dishes on the menu.

If you are going to charge me more by being fancy, You had better be fancy and good. Fortunately Aspendo's delivers. * * * I was there on an academic lunch with an exciting scholar. That kind of thing can happen in a restaurant next to the Princeton campus. This is one of the dangers of eating in a college town. So most of my observational powers and intellectual energy were turned towards general issues of demographic processes and global welfare and the way that these could be re-positioned in the social sciences. There was elaborate stuff going into my mouth. I was paying more attention to the elaborate stuff going into my ears. What was going into my mouth seemed overly fussy for what it was. But it was not unpleasant. * * * Had the agenda been a romantic evening, There been a bottle of wine on the table and The goal being to make the dinner last forever, Elaborate interesting dishes could have been welcome. So this place has its uses.

We burrata salad. It was very, very beautiful and so fresh and delicious. For lunch my bff ordered the homemade noodles in a very delicious sauce from the soft cooked eggs. There were also artichokes and a crunchy surprise sprinkling of bacon bits. It was very delicious and satisfying. I ordered a salad with grilled chicken. It was very flavorful and I like how it had a very delicate amount of dressing. It was so colorful and so fresh. I loved it so much. I enjoyed my iced tea as well! Even the other guests in the restaurant at the time, we're very friendly and so kind. And I'm happy to hear from them about a blueberry farm. That's quite wonderful. It really was a wonderful afternoon here. Thanks to all the hard-working people who take care of us and nourish us. There's so many people. Thank you dearly.

There were no long lines, we immediately place our order Got 2 Shawarma plates one with rice and other with salad.

Baba Ganoush was nice but the quantity was so tiny. Not worth the money. If you want to eat something filling and decent this is not the place!

It is a busy downtown New Brunswick and I walk there so you might have some challenges finding parking. It was a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't very busy. I utilize the takeout which is on the main level, but it does look like there is seating on the upper level. Once I got back to my hotel and started to enjoy the meal, I realized that this was not the traditional Greek Gyro that I have been accustomed to. The flavor of the meat is not the same nor the construction of the sandwich. Overall, I would say it is decent, but if you are looking for the traditional Greek Gyro experience, this is not it.

It wasn't busy when we arrived, which was great because it was my first time there and I wasn't sure what to order. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and the place was clean. We started with the hummus and pita flatbread, and I was torn between the moussaka and the pastitsio. The waiter recommended the moussaka, and I'm so glad I listened because it was amazing. The wait for our entrees was a bit long, but it was absolutely worth it. The hummus and flatbread were okay, but the moussaka really stood out. It wasn't soggy or too salty, had the perfect amount of spice, and was very flavorful. I would definitely recommend this place and will for sure be back when I'm in the area.

I've been here a handful of times and they're always delicious…read more Small restaurant with a small parking lot right on route 1 next to a Dunkin. The restaurant owns a Turkish supermarket next door. All of the food is delicious. Warm bread and sauces are included (the red sauce is DELICIOUS but super spicy, the white sauce is minty and tart). Get the Mucver!!!! I haven't tried other appetizers but the Mucver stole the show. It's a zucchini vegetable fried pancake. If a latke was made of zucchini. Super flavorful. Not greasy at all. The chicken Adana is my favorite. It's a ground chicken well seasoned with herbs and grilled. My husband had the mixed grill of gyro (beef), lamb, and grilled chicken. The grilled chicken was delicious. Both are served with a salad and rice. Very good service.

She was pleasant , quick, knew the food and walked us thru their best seller options in the menu . The place is quite compact but looks larger with the wall of mirrors ! We got our complimentary bread with olive oil n zataar and waited for our quick order of the spicy chicken kebab plate large portion with 10 pieces . The bread was soft but not anything unique or fancy . Just dough cooked through in their wood burning oven It took about 10mins to get the entree and it looked colorful and beautifully presented . Reddish orange hue of grilled chicken kebab , resting on a bed of log he colored rice and side of green salad , it was an inviting plate of food . The kebabs were juicy soft , - flavor bomb that ti be les your taste buds . The rice was delicious and the side salad fresh and crisp . We relished every bite of our meal . Picked up the pistachio dream cake to go and tried it the next day at home . It was just meh... nothing to rave about . Chocolate mousse and ground pistachios with a creamy texture didn't make it very appealing Parking is a breeze at Spring street garage that is just opposite to the restaurant.

We chose the spot since it happen the be the "midpoint" between where my friend and I live. The service was friendly. The menu is has limited options; think Chipotle style create your own bowl, pita or platter. I ordered a chicken gyro wrap and my friend went with the falafel bowl. The chicken was very good, however, I wish they had warmed up the pita. A cold pita made the sandwich slightly less appealing. I also tasted my friend's falafel bowl. Overall, the falafel was good. The prices seemed high for what you get. We sat at the small outside seating area, since its in a corporate park, people were coming and going a bit. Midpoint is a decent place to stop by if in the area.

The place was nearly empty, which is…read moreeither a warning sign or a blessing, depending on your outlook and your tolerance for gastrointestinal risk. I ordered from a kiosk. It was quick, efficient, and mercifully free of small talk. A machine that doesn't pretend to care about your day is, in many ways, the most honest companion while still lacking the dismissiveness of the Gen Z stare. My sandwich arrived at the table shortly after, delivered by a human who didn't linger. We understood each other. I had the Pink Sultan. Chicken, mixed greens, red cabbage, pickles, and a sauce the color of a polite sunset. I read that the sauce involves beets, which explains both the color palette and the faint suggestion that I was eating something that once grew in dirt and had ambitions. The sandwich was good. Not life changing, not tragic. The chicken was tender enough, the vegetables crisp, the flavors balanced in a way that suggested someone had made decisions and stuck with them. I drank a bottle of Turkish Uludag soda, which tasted like citrus with a hint of optimism. It whispered, "I'm like Fanta, but regional AND foreign, which of course makes me better." The place itself is clean and modern, with that fast casual confidence that says we take our ingredients seriously but not ourselves. They make a point of using fresh components and well seasoned meats that rotate slowly on a spit, absorbing flavor as time passes, much like the rest of us. Everything I ate was pretty good. That is not faint praise. In a world where many meals are often either regrettable or unforgettable, pretty good is a kind of victory. Four stars. The kiosk asked nothing of me, and the food delivered something in return.

Started with stuffed grape leaves which was a delightful treat. We split the Falafel done right wrap and boy was it something special. Crunchy falafel with mixed greens ,hummus, pickles & peppers ,well rounded flavors and very addictive I asked for Hot tea which they served complimentary. Finally , how could I leave without trying their pastries ..... Baklava flavors that I selected to go were Pistachio and Walnut and both were delicious . We got the thin non traditional version. The Manager gave us a complimentary piece of their traditional baklava to taste . It was good but a bit too sweet for my liking They also have gelato right at the entrance. They have some unique flavors like baklava which we sampled. I would highly recommend this place for their fresh flavorful food and excellent service.

For the entrée, we ordered the mixed grill platter. My favorite meats were the gyro slices and the beef cubes. The beef cubes were perfectly seasoned--seriously next level. The rice underneath all the meat was also excellent and packed with flavor. Will definitely be back!!
