The trio of dips was great, and I can see myself ordering this repeatedly for girl dinner. The zucchini chips with feta were also fantastic. Not pictured because we ate it too fast was the spanakopita; excellent spinach pie. The service was fast, the staff was so pleasant. The seating area was generous, and nicely decorated. Will be coming back for more!

Why, yes, I did get the vegan gyro platter just so I could have a new thing to review and take a…read morepicture of. It was better than it needed to be, but even with the more obvious appeal of beef-lamb gyros, the platters here are kind of a group effort. The JC/Hoboken region has an array of new Greek spots. At the risk of making enemies I'm going to comparatively mention the key players. The pork gyro over at Tros in Hoboken is my favorite specific meat and Efi's Gyro in JC is probably my sauce favorite. I'd give the platter edge to Ela Greek Kitchen for the excellent salad; they include a lettuce-less horiatiki here. And the fries are top-notch too. I liked the playlist also: Wheatus, Jimmy Eat World, My Chemical Romance.

I'm glad it didn't though. I did the build your own bowl and it was a ton of food. Great value. I got two chicken skewers, with lemon fries and the Mediterranean garbanzo salad. For my spreads, I got hummus and paid extra another side of spicy feta. Everything was tasty. I wish I had also gotten some tzatziki on the side since the chicken was dry otherwise. I mostly dipped the chicken in the hummus and used the spicy feta for my pita. The fries got a little soggy the way they were packaged, but they reheated nicely in the air fryer. It was so much food, I had leftovers for lunch the next day. I am a fan!

Listen... I walked in here like "lemme see what the hype is about " and walked out like *okaaaay…read moreCARGIANO'S, I see you* First of all -- this place has been holding it DOWN since 1919... like WHAT?! If you been rocking since 1919, mi amor, I **have** to come see what's going on. That alone made me wanna pull up And let me tell you... I walked from Jersey City Heights down to downtown -- not a bad walk at all, un chin de cardio before breakfast . Real "treat yourself, mi amor" type of morning. Soon as I walked in... BABYYYY I felt like I got teleported straight into a little Italian market Shelves full of Italian goodies -- pastas, oils, snacks... I was like *yo quiero todo esto* It was giving *ciao bella, benvenuti, mangia mangia* vibes all day. The staff? Súper nice. No attitude, no rush -- just good energy. I told them it was my first time and asked what they're known for, and they really put me on No gatekeeping over here. My husband got the #7 (on a roll) I got the #8 (on a bagel) We sat outside and did what married people do... switched sandwiches halfway Now listen... mine was good -- turkey, egg, pesto... she was cute, she had flavor, estaba bien ‍ BUT HIS?! Ese sándwich estaba otro nivel. I don't know if it was the roasted peppers or what but *Dios mío*... delicioso, chef's kiss Only thing? Next time I'm switching my bagel for a roll porque ese pan estaba hitting different. The roll? Soft, fresh, perfecto. Also... let me tell you about the BACK They got frozen pastas, little Napoli-style dishes, a whole meat section that looked crazy fresh, and you can order cold sandwiches too. Esto no es solo un deli -- it's a whole Italian experience, okurrr. And yes... it's a *little* pricey, no te voy a mentir. Pero honestly? You get what you pay for. Calidad, sabor, vibes -- todo está ahí. I skipped the coffee porque estoy tratando de behave con el budget but next time? And I'm coming back for that banana pudding porque I'm obsessed no shame. They got a little patio if you wanna sit, or you can take your food to the park and have a whole picnic moment. Real main character energy. Ponte linda, grab your sandwich, and just vibe out. Overall? 5 stars Good food, good vibes, buena gente. CARGIANO'S said "treat yourself" y yo dije... say less

This place is basically a Turkish restaurant and not necessarily Mediterranean at all. If a…read moregeographical region needs to be associated with it then it should be a called mix of Aegean / Anatolian, as I am originally from that part of the World. Unfortunately, there is something very common in these type of Turkish restaurants and I am surprised not many people mention this. Most of the time the dishes, particularly the mezes are way too salty. The amount of salt they use is too much that it overwhelms the expected flavor of the dish and personally makes my tongue feel swollen. I am not sure if they do this partially on purpose to extend the shelf time as almost all cold mezes are prepared beforehand and not to order. They might be trying to keep the dishes from spoiling for 3 days or so. In any case and whatever the reason is it ruins the flavors for me. I'll try this place one more time then re-review with an update in the coming weeks.

Looking through the reviews here, the consensus seems to be 4 stars, but I'm gonna rate it 5 stars…read morebased on the 1 experience I had. Usually not something I'm overly comfortable with, rating a place 5 stars based on 1 experience...a food delivery experience as opposed to a sit-down dine-in experience, at that...but I was stuffed at the end of my meal, the price was more than fair, and the food was pretty damn tasty! At work, a friend/co-worker recommended this place, which I had never heard of. Usually, I can resist entreaties to order food to be delivered when I'm working, but I was coming off of a bad migraine, a negative reaction to the medication I have to take for it and was feeling pretty famished. I decided to give Tastee Platters a try. Looked at their on-line menu and gave my co-worker my order, which he was gracious enough to place (I detest the whole rigamarole of on-line ordering). The food arrived pretty quickly. I ordered the chicken platter, which was a large aluminum container of grilled chicken over basmati rice, served with lettuce, tomato, sauteed onions, a slice of pita, all of it slathered in white sauce. Maybe I was even hungrier than I had initially thought because I gobbled everything down to the last grain of rice. I also ordered the banana pudding, which was unusual for me. I like vanilla or rice pudding, and will even order chocolate pudding in a pinch, but I don't think I've ever had banana pudding. And I've got to say-- it was really, really good, smoothly textured and creamy. Maybe too good, as when I had finished everything, I belatedly became aware that I had consumed way, way too much food. Still, I think the 5 star rating is merited. The food was good and plentiful, I didn't pay a lot for what I ordered, and the ordering and delivery process was relatively trouble free (even though I had nothing to do with that process, other than telling my co-worker what I wanted and handing over my money). Personally, I can't eat like this too often. I'm still dieting (or trying to), and a repast such as this is DEFINITELY counter-productive to that endeavor. But I certainly can't blame Tastee Platters because I fell off the wagon when it came to dieting. And I can't say that I won't fall off the wagon again at some point in the future. Not too often, hopefully...but I'm a fallible human, after all! Recommended. Good food for a good price.

I had heard great things about Seven Valleys and wanted to give it a try…read more I stopped in for a late lunch and ordered with chicken kebab plate with an extra beef skewer plus a cherry soda. The cherry soda was presented beautifully and had a tasty flavor, but there was way too much syrup. It was very sweet. The plate comes simply with rice, a small dish of cucumber tomato salad, your protein and a lime wedge. You also get hummus or a piece of baklava. I chose the hummus that came in a very small ramekin. When I order a mix grill or Persian food, the plate usually looks a little more exciting and robust. This seemed paired down. I could have used a charred onion or a pickled vegetable. The cucumber tomato salad was good, the chicken was moist and the beef was tender. The rice was a little disappointing. The hummus tasted a bland, like it needed more tahini, garlic, salt and lemon. I know I was one of the last people in for lunch, maybe my timing was a bit off. I've heard rave reviews from other people!

Since it was a weekday in March, it was quite dark and chilly; while the staff did their absolute best to keep us comfortable, the outdoor heaters couldn't quite beat the early spring cold. There were a few hiccups with our orders being mixed up, but honestly, I think that was mostly due to our group's size being a bit overwhelming for the space. I have a feeling the service would be much smoother for a smaller party, but the food more than made up for the wait. I had the chicken breast kebab with a side salad, and it was fantastic--the flavors felt truly authentic to Persian cuisine. I'd definitely come back, perhaps with a smaller group next time to stay inside where it's a bit warmer!
