Short Rib bowl featured great hummus!
Edward K.

I headed out for a Tuesday night dinner with a couple of friends. One of my friends chose Bella's Kitchen, it rates very well on Yelp so I was happy to try it. Place has a pleasant casual vibe. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. We selected appetizers to share. The dolomades melted in our mouths. The beef cigars were crispy with a nicely seasoned filling. The three dip sampler was tasty (baba ganoush, labneh, and tabbouleh) but a bit on the smaller side. The beet salad was nicely prepared. I enjoyed the short rib hummus bowl quite a bit, the hummus was high quality. The chicken shawarma hummus bowl and lamb shank entree were enjoyed by my friends. Definitely glad we tried Bella's!

Mediterranean food at its best
William D.

Ok, wow!! This place doesn't need any help with its reviews and I can see why. I haven't even gotten my main course and I am impressed with the flavors and textures. Got the soup of the day, squash purée, and they brought me out some pita with some kind of reduction that is amazing. I got the Barrette (spelling?) salad with figs and added the salmon on top, everything is done to perfection and tastes fresh and amazing. Really interesting dressing. There's lots of it on there and it's totally not overwhelming. I think the best way to ruin a salad is too much dressing. I'm making an exception in this case. Truly my praise does not reach the level of this food. What a great place, I highly highly recommend it.

Falafel Pita with waffle fries
Jeri L.

First time to try this lovely restaurant, our friends sang their praises because they told us the food was amazing and the service was excellent! Well they were 100% correct! We absolutely loved our appetizers but an emergency arose and we could not stay for our entrees. The waiter was so understanding and packed our meals for us to go. First, they gave pita with baba ganoush, delicious. We started with grilled octopus salad which was absolutely amazing, so tender you can cut it with a fork. It was even better than the grilled octopus at Varka which sets the bar quite high! The homemade butternut squash soup was phenomenal and the best we ever had. We ordered chicken shawarma pita and the falafel pita for our entrees which we took to go. We also ordered homemade Rice pudding which was absolutely delicious, we would go back just to have that! The entrees were delicious even reheated the next day. Now that's THE SIGN of fantastic meal. Bella is a must a try! It will be part of your favorite restaurants rotation. As a note, the Restauraunt is no longer BYOB, they serve wine and beer now.

Came here again just to make sure I wasn't dreaming the first time around. I even dulled my mind with an ipa... Result you ask? Wowza is all I can say!

Wings
Anna S.

Was exploring the neighborhood and decided to visit this joint. We sat in the outside section that had a chill and relaxing atmosphere. Their wings were really good, so were burgers. I had a Moscow mule which I enjoyed but barely tasted alcohol. Even though it was our waiter's first day, she was supper nice and made sure she found out all information for us. Her coworkers were also very helpful and attentive helping her out. Definitely will be coming back.

Short Rib hummus bowl, Chicken Schnitzel, Lemon Chicken hummus boel

Another amazing meal at Bella's Kitchen! The most consistent restaurant I know. Food was excellent, as always. We had the steak hummus bowl, lemon chicken hummus bowl, and the shawarma pita. Everybody loved their food. Appetizer was our regular, the 3 dips & pita, a can't miss. For the finale, the dessert special, Ricotta Delight...fried ricotta with chocolate sauce, wow! We had our favorite server, Angel. He is the best! Thanks again, Bella's!!!

Raspberry Lemon Cake & Ricotta Cake
Mymyr

Food was amazing, had a wide range of healthy options, and the staff were accomodating for all kinds of allergies or food sensitivities. The food itself was perfectly garnished, expertly prepared, and was delicious and sensual to eat. The ambiance definitely takes the "hole in the wall" aesthetic and flips it on its head with a clean, well maintained and modern interior. The price range for two people including a couple appetizers, two meals, and two desserts was within the range of $100 or less, making it well worth the price! Definitely goes above and beyond standard expectations, so I'm giving it 5/5.

Hummus and Chicken Shawarma
Brittany R.

We love Bella's kitchen! With the variety of hummus bowls and delish apps like the beef cigars, my boyfriend and I frequent this location regularly and rave about it to friends for their next visit to Pearl River. Great for take out or dine in! The staff is friendly and I love how they have transformed the place from the last diner that was located there. I was a bit surprise to see no gyro in the menu but the chicken wrap and variety of spreads make this place a must try!

Is this a byob?

It used to be, we always brought our own wine. But I understand now that they have beer and wine, so no longer BYOB. You have to definitely go, the food is incredible!

Naya is my favorite place in the area for a bowl of yumminess!…read more A bowl with greens or grains, topped with tasty proteins and a plethora of veggies, legumes and spreads. Try making a bowl here and you really can't go wrong. There are so many tasty things to put in it and everything always tastes fresh. The chicken shawarma is my favorite. I add pretty much every veggie option there is to my bowl and it's a massive pile of tasty, refreshing salad. The interior is clean and new/modern. There are a few tables outside and it's a pretty quiet spot in a generally busy area. Parking isn't difficult here either. The only annoyance is exiting the parking lot!

If there's one thing NAYA needs to improve on, it's to open more locations in NJ!!! The Montvale…read morelocation isn't too far of a drive for me, but I would love it if there was one even closer... I've been coming here frequently for the past two months and I'm officially addicted! If you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal... NAYA will not disappoint. It's a fast-casual franchise inspired by Lebanese/Middle Eastern cuisine. The menu is straightforward and follows the typical "build your own" food model. You can create your own bowl, pita roll, or salad. Then you add your bases, proteins, toppings, and sauces. The toppings are UNLIMITED, so go off!!! Plus, they give you free pita bread! They also have a small selection of hot & cold appetizers, desserts, and drinks. The prices are reasonable and they give you a generous amount of food. Depending on how hangry I am, I can usually split my food into two meals. My go-to order is the Naya bowl. I highly recommend trying these: *Chicken Shawarma (roasted strips of marinated chicken) - One of my favorite proteins! It's tangy and garlicky. *Falafel (fried chickpea croquette with herbs and spices) - They're super crispy and deep fried to perfection with a golden-brown exterior. The inside is a vibrant green color from all of the fresh herbs, spices, and grounded chickpeas. *Beef Shawarma - Tender, juicy, and savory! *Baba Ghannouj - A must try for eggplant lovers!! It's smoky with rich flavors from charred eggplant, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice. *Hummus - It's creamy, nutty, and earthy. All of the ingredients and toppings are fresh. Every bite is a burst of flavor! The staff is always friendly and packs my bowl to the brim, so I can't complain. They get busy during lunch rush hours, but you can order ahead to avoid a longer wait time. The interior is bright, modern, and welcoming with natural lighting and greenery. There's a good amount of seating. Add NAYA to your rotation of fast-casual healthy eateries!

Don't go there hungry because you have to wait a very long time, even if the place is empty. They don't give you complimentary nothing, not even bread or pita. I can only imagine how much they're trying to save inside the kitchen. The place screams cheap! Some of the lighting doesn't work, our candles were never lit even though it was nighttime so our area was too dark. The waitress will switch on you without you knowing and they will not get your order right. The place setup is super sketchy, I think the chef brings the finished plate to a little closet near the bathroom and I looked inside the closet, it was filthy. The process is questionable and risky in terms of hygiene. They took forever to make the soufflé, even though we asked ahead and wanted it to come out after dinner. The soufflé was too pricey and it was not made well. On top of that, the ac stopped working during the scorching heatwave and they didn't offer anything to compensate and instead provided a terrible experience. I don't see this place lasting very long. Terrible!!!

My Over all rating = Meh (Barely acceptable, but no huge complaints either) Service - meh Food - meh Facility - meh Protip: Greek Village in Northvale, NJ seems better rated although I haven't been there yet. That's my next stop for Greek. It's 15min north from PGK. If you go inside its furnished in modern industrial type of decor. Having said that, the restaurant wasn't well run. When I walked in there were very few customers, but few tables were left dirty with dishes and food bits still on them. The floor in similar fashion looked like it hasn't been swept for a bit. I can see paper strip from the straw, gum rapper, and some food. One table near the door had a completely dried out grains of rice. Yes, if you are Asian then you know. It's the kind of rice that hurts your foot because your son/daughter left on the floor the last night at dinner and didn't care to pick up. (Asian problems) Seriously, it had to be there for half a day. No one cared to clean this ? Given the amount of business it had at at the time (not much), it would have taken one person 5 min to fix the aforementioned problems. It showed me that the employees/managers didn't really care. Attitude of the employees that talked to me was consistent with what I saw about the facility. They weren't rude, but just seemed disinterested, disconnected and just blah. In terms of food, I got a a decent Pork Souvlaki in pita. I would rate it 6.5 out of 10 or C-. My pork was unevenly cooked. It had a nice char on one side and just light brown on the other. It was just short of being burnt on one side. I didn't love the Tzatziki sauce that was on there either. I don't know about Greek food that much, but I didn't think it was well made. Either that or it wasn't freshly made. Finally, the only veg that was in there was red onion and tomatoes. I usually see lettuce of some sort of lettuce at all other greek places. So....not too hip to go back, but I may go back if I really crave greek and I don't want to drive more than 10 min to get it.
