    Very friendly and welcoming people. They put a drink on the house when they knew it was my first time. Excited to eat here more!

    What a unique place!! We decided to come here on a date night on Friday at the Clifton NJ location…read morearound 6:45pm. I made reservations on RESY and no issue during arrival. The place itself is beautiful and service was prompt and efficient - perhaps too quick. Since it's BYOB I brought a bottle of wine and they had wine glasses on the table already with bottles of water which was nice - not tap. We ordered spicey fries, avocado salad and chicken thighs platter, and spinach pies. The avocado salad was good but heavy on the onions. And the spinach pies were savory. Next time I want to try their borekas and halloumi. The chicken thighs were moist and juicy! We decided to order watermelon mint hookah after dinner which was my favorite part but realized we over stayed past the two hour limit as other tables were waiting, so we got booted out. Only criticism is they should be less transactional and give people time to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Also don't charge $10.00 for water.

I went to Yasmeen with a friend as he said it's one of his favorite restaurants and it did not disappoint. We ordered the calamari to share & salmon. The calamari was good but I believe the portion could've been bigger. The salmon was also great & I loved the white sauce that accompanied albeit my friend wasn't a huge fan. Do note that the sauce is a bit on the sweeter side so it's not for everyone. In addition to the food, we also had the slush lemonade which was refreshing (despite it being 20 degrees outside haha) & the hookah (albeit the employee there didn't seem sure on how to use it for some reason) which was fine. All in all, I can see why Yasmeen is quite popular in that area.

    This establishment touts themselves as a healthy food restaurant, which they definitely have…read more However, they also have not so healthy items like an array of fried foods which are mostly on the kids menu. We tried a mango pineapple smoothie which is only made with almond milk. Unfortunately, with an almond allergy we asked them to use water only, so the consistency was different, but was still tasty. We also tried the crispy chicken wrap, Caesar salad wrap, grilled protein bowl, and a Dubai chocolate cheese cake. Everything was ok to good. It was all very fresh, but the steak in the protein bowl was chewy, some things lacked a little flavor, while others were very flavorful. So just a bit inconsistent. Service was friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself is intimate and cute. I would return if in the area, and try something different.

    Grill and Greens kept popping up on my FYP, so I was excited to finally give them a try. For the…read morefood alone, I'd give them a solid 4.The dishes are tasty and well priced. But I'm giving them five stars because of the staff. They were incredibly friendly and so sweet to my toddler, who was definitely not on his best behavior. They even gave us a free drink to try. Their kindness and patience made me a customer for life, especially since I was juggling an indecisive human and a cranky toddler. We ordered the shrimp and salmon wrap, the tenders and fries, a Turkish soda, and a fountain drink. The wraps were flavorful and delicious. The salmon tasted fresh and wasn't overcooked. The Turkish soda was something I'd never tried before, and I was amazed by how light yet flavorful it was, all while having half the sugar of regular sodas. They also have parking, which is a huge plus, and they offer delivery themselves. Overall, such a great experience!

Service was great and wonderful, the young lady always checked up to make sure everything was great. Food was so tasty & had flavor to it! I had ordered octopus with hummus, it was very well cooked & I had to have pita on the side. I also ordered shish kebab filet mignon & as well very well cooked, not overcooked or dry at all. The rice was plain, which was okay for me. The onions definitely made up for it to combine it together. To top it off I also got fried calamari, it was a little bit chewy overall still had flavor to it. My go to drink was a mint lemonade that they make it into a slushie. I never had a mint lemonade so the taste to the drink was new to me but I loved it! You could bring your own liquor becusse they do not sell that. Overall amazing place for a quick lunch or dinner!

    Overall, an excellent experience. The food was amazing and the ambiance was top-tier.

The staff was welcoming and attentive, and the menu had great options across the board. Food-wise, I have zero complaint everything was flavorful and well prepared. A special shout-out to Rola, the owner, who personally came out to check on us and make sure everything was going well, which really shows how much care goes into the experience. It's also BYOB, which is a nice bonus and makes the night even better. Definitely a spot worth visiting again for great Mediterranean food, a fun vibe, and an energetic atmosphere.

Stopped in today after hearing the buzz for the last 2 years. The weather was perfect and so was the experience. We started off with a couple of mint lemonades and a cappuccino which really hit the spot!! They bring pickled veggies and pita to the table. We then got a bunch of dips which were all delicious. My favorite was the Muhammara Baba Ghanouj Baked eggplants with fresh diced tomatoes & onions $9.00 Lebneh w/ Garlic Yogurt spread with dry mint & olive oil $9.00 Muhammara Red pepper paste, walnuts, bread crumbs & olive oil $8.00 Hummus Chick peas with sesame sauce, lemon juice & olive oil $7.00 We also tried a few smaller apps Arayes with Cheese & Meat. Grilled pita stuffed with cheese & seasoned meat. $8.00 Think quesadilla with a Lebanese twist I loved it Falafel Finely ground chickpeas, onions, parsley, garlic & spices deep fried $6.00 The Best! I've ever had Cooked perfectly with crispy outside and delicious center. Sanbusah with Meat $9.00 Deep fried dough stuffed with ground beef, onions & almonds The filling inside of these tastes like it took days to cook. So good!! We will for surely be regulars. Thank you Kamil, you built a wonderful space and business.
