Good Food, But Service So Bad We Were Ignored Repeatedly! Our party of six was ignored over and over by multiple staff members, even after repeatedly asking for basic water and glasses. This was not understaffing--there were plenty of employees walking by, simply choosing not to serve us. After chasing down five or six different people, we finally got minimal service, but by then the night was ruined. Good food can't outweigh being blatantly ignored, and I will never return. read more

Came here with a girlfriend of mine for a girls date night. First thing I noticed when I entered was the beautiful interior design. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and spacious. There was loud music when we entered, but it shortly was turned down/ off. Our server was quick to greet us and we placed our order. They give you bread and oil and we ordered the Mediterranean tour which contained hummus, eggplant and muhammara, which is made of red peppers. The place is BYOB, but the way. My friend got the chicken kebab and I got the Adana kebab, which is a mixture of lamb and beef. Our food was delicious and came out hot and the presentation was also beautiful! Throughout the night, the music would get super loud and I was unable to chat with my girlfriend right across the table from me. This happened various times through out the night, which was odd, but I was just happy it was not consistent. Otherwise, socializing would have been impossible. Our server also disappeared after a while, so I had to go up to the hostess to ask for our check when we were ready to go. Aside from that and the loud music, we enjoyed our dinner, overall! read more

This is a must visit!!!!! Beyond amazing! I went with 3 people who are pretty picky and don't explore too much out of their food comfort zone... let's just say they loved it. The place is decorated beautifully and they even have a rooftop. How cool!? Their tres leches Turkish style cake was the best tres leches I ever had in my entire life. The waiter knew how to answer all our questions, make suggestions, and was over al wonderful. I will be back!! read more

This restaurant was hard to rate because the food was so good but the service was so bad. They recently opened at Willowbrook mall so I'm hopeful that they have changed. We ordered the Turkish breakfast which comes with muhammara, baba ganoush, tomatoes and cucumbers, fries, waffles, cheese phyllo roll (this didn't come), jams, honey with butter, cheese and olives, eggs, and tea. We also added menemen, which is an egg dish with tomato, peppers, and spices. Everything was really good, the only complaint is the waffles may have been overcooked and of course we didn't get one dish. They even gave us unlimited warm bread and butter. I also tried the strawberry cocktail juice. It was really good, not too sweet surprisingly. read more

Saw a video on tiktok and figured we'd try it for a friends birthday. The ambiance has a modern fun feel. Perfect spot for a girls night out. The house made pita was delicious and brought to the table warm. Our server was very helpful with guiding us on what to order based on our taste. We started with the hummus dip trio, fig and feta flatbread, and zucchini pancakes. All were very good and came out in a normal amount of time. For our entree's mostly everyone got kebabs.. & each bite was better than the next. They also have a great selection for dessert but since we came mid week some options were unavailable. Overall enjoyed our time there. We'll be back for sure! read more

I've visited Blue Fig Garden a few times now and it never disappoints. The menu has a fantastic variety of options, including gluten-free. On my first visit, I was slightly overwhelmed by how many options I had to choose from, a welcome change. The service has been excellent each time, especially from Nuri. As for the food, everything tastes fresh and comes out hot, exactly what you want when dining out. This is also a BYOB location, and they provide a bucket of ice for the table if needed. I highly recommend the cheesy falafel; it gives a different spin on a classic dish. The prices are reasonable and what you would expect at most Mediterranean restaurants. The décor in the restaurant is also lovely, providing an authentic and warm setting to relax in. read more

I'll start by saying the food was delicious. We ordered lahmacun as an appetizer and our meals were the whole bronzino and Adana kebab. All of it was super tasty However, the service was really bad and extremely slow. The waiter could've have been any less attentive. We sat in their outside seating area and it was not packed at all. We could see him in the bar area right inside chilling on his phone. After we eventually got our food, we literally ate all of it before he even came out to check on us. When he did he goes "the bronzino is so good. Great choice" stares at my empty, stacked plates and just walks away. It must've been another 1+ hour before we even came back around and we still had to ask for the check even though the restaurant was literally closing and we were obviously done eating. Good food. Bad experience. read more

I had Greek salad, side ordered sautéed shrimp, and a latte. The entire meal presented well and was flavorful. On the negative side, the server was very nice but left the restaurant without saying anything, about who would take over. At checkout, I tipped her anyway, but didn't notice the 18% automatic service charge on the receipt and I thought my total payment only included my tip. This 18% was never verbally mentioned by the server, nor the person who took the payment. Not sure if I'll return... read more

Disappointed and Let Down I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I feel like this experience needs to be shared so others don't walk in with high hopes and walk out frustrated like I did. I recently visited Blue Fig Garden looking forward to a solid Arabic meal. Unfortunately, it was disappointing from start to finish. The service wasn't great. After placing my order, I waited around 45 minutes for the food to come out--and during that time, no one checked on me, gave updates, or even asked if I needed anything. That kind of wait might be understandable if the food was exceptional, but sadly, it wasn't worth it. I ordered a chicken shawarma and was given beef instead. That kind of mix-up shouldn't happen, especially when it's the main item I came for. Then I ordered a burger, hoping to turn things around, but it came out overcooked--dry, bland, and far from satisfying. The only thing I actually enjoyed were the fries. They were crispy, seasoned well, and fresh--but fries alone aren't enough to justify the visit. Overall, I left disappointed and feeling like I wasted both my time and money. I'm not writing this to bash the restaurant, but to give an honest account. Hopefully they take this feedback seriously and make improvements, because right now, I wouldn't recommend it. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back. read more

Small portions, tasteless chicken and vegetables. Don't come here if you're hungry. We were very disappointed and the prices are high for what you get. They also add a mandatory "service fee" aka a tip but don't discourage an additional tip. Ridiculous! Read the bottom of the receipt. read more

Tried the baba ghanoush and it was smoky and delicious. The fried calamari was light, crispy, and not at all greasy. We shared the Blue Fig signature dish. Everything was made fresh. Can't wait to go back! read more

Our appetizer was brought out at the same time as our main dishes and the restaurant was empty, maybe three tables total with customers. The service was poor and the place was empty! Food was ok. The lamb was good but the chicken in my wifes salad was tough. Not a good experience at all. We will not be returning. read more

Way too pricey. Crappy service. They added a 20% tip automatically. Food was just ok. Waiter was kind of a douche read more

Have been here a few visits after opening . This is my honest review, and I'm picky. Delicious ,fresh , A1 presentation. Amazing ambiance in and outside(patio) The fresh pita as soon as you sit with olive oil is a nice touch for me anywhere ,always. Ambiance on patio is beautiful during sunset as well , BYOB is always great, hookah is a cool plus also . The salad was insane , super fresh refreshing packed with crazy flavor. Calamari was perfect crispy, hope my experience was just as good for you as it was for me. read more

This place was a total surprise....it is an oasis amidst the messy food court at the Willowbrook. The restaurant is beautiful inside with upscale decor. The food is absolutely fantastic with many gluten free options. Everything is fresh. We had the hummus trio with pita and fresh veggies. Our entrees were salmon and chicken kebob. Yum! The lemon juice with mint is so refreshing. The waiter was not a native English speaker and there were some communication challenges but he was very kind and accommodating. I've been here 3 times and I wish them success. It is my favorite Mediterranean restaurant. read more

This place is an absolute delight--from the fresh food to the excellent service and inviting ambiance. My husband and I shared the Mediterranean Tour for cold appetizers, the Blue Fig Garden Signature dish, and the fried calamari--all of which were delicious! Our server, Can, was incredibly helpful and attentive. We'll definitely be coming back soon! read more

Very clean and contemporary ambiance. The service was excellent and every dish was delicious!

First time at Blue Fig and I was disappointed. Portions of appetizers are small and the fattoush salad IS NOT a fattoush salad. Mostly lettuce. I've NEVER seen a salad like that. They are not busy and considering that the server "forgot" about us for quite a while. Very dissatisfied. The bill only has what u owe. Shows absolutely nothing else. How can I see what they charged us for? Never again. I'll stick the Dervish in Verona or Wayne. read more

A wonderful spot with soft background music, comfortable seating, and soothing decor. Everything is cooked from scratch in-house using fresh ingredients. The food is exceptional--fresh Italian olive oil, top-quality meats, and generous, beautifully presented portions. The dessert selection is not only impressive but truly delicious. Perfect for any occasion--birthdays, meetings, or a relaxed evening. The restaurant is relatively new, and while some staff are still in training, the service was great overall. An awesome experience--highly recommend! read more

Just went there with my family for dinner. We should have gotten the hint to leave right when we realized we were the only ones there on a Friday evening around 6:30PM. Our waiter was not familiar with the menu when asked questions and kept disregarding the fact my husband is severely allergic to tree nuts. My husband ordered lamb chops, cooked medium. My child ordered the kids cheeseburger. I ordered the beef kebabs, cooked medium. The service was very slow and we had to constantly ask for water refills while patiently waiting for our foods. For being the only customers in the restaurant, it was hard to find a worker. Cheeseburger was okay, not worth $16 from the kids menu. Lamb chops came out medium rare and very bland. Beef kebabs came out well done, about 6 pieces, very dry. They did not even give me a steak knife. The waiter suggested I just eat the well done kebabs while they cook another. I did not as it was burnt. The new portion of beef kebabs came out very rare and only three small pieces. I asked the waiter again if the chef can cook this more and my husband asked if the chef understands how to cook steak at their requested temperatures. The waiter said this is not the first time this happened as if the chef always makes this mistake. The beef kebabs came back medium rare, but ended up just eating it as I was so annoyed and starving. We were off course charged, which I assumed we would pay the whole thing, but they did not even say sorry about anything. You would think they would inform the manager of how upset we were. We didn't argue, just paid. No wonder there is an automatic 20% gratuity added. Food, service, and atmosphere is just one star. Would be zero if I could. I was so excited to eat here, but I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT. Plus our waiter suggested we put our review on Yelp. read more
