After having gotten hooked on Turkish food in Germany for a couple years, I was curious to try a…read moreTurkish restaurant that had come to the town where I was born and raised. I have to say that it was just OK. They did not have the signature Döner rotisserie, which I have grown to expect. Maybe they have it at select times. So, I got the kofta. It was basically just three pieces of meat with lots of filler. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't outstanding either. The ambience is relatively clean and bright. Service was fine. You just order from the counter and sit down. I don't think I'll go back.

It's a casual place...you order at the counter similar to a chipotle and then find a seat. With…read morethat in mind, the ambiance is very adequate (simple, pleasant and clean). Service was friendly. I ordered a felafal sandwich which I customized with various sauces/vegetables/etc. It was truly delicious and a breath of fresh air compared to so many of the dry felafals I've encountered lately. The sandwich was huge so I saved half for dinner when it was still enjoyable. Purchased a small container of baba ghanouj for my aunt which she later said was good. They had fresh squeezed orange juice which I also enjoyed.

Food was just okay. I got a bowl with chicken and falafel. the chicken shawarma meat was extremely…read moredry like it had been around for a while. The falafel was pretty decent they cooked it fresh so it wasn't lying around. The service was okay not very friendly. Ambiance was sort of like a that of a bagel shop. The really big kicker for me besides the dry chicken was the price. $27.00 for a chicken shawarma bowl with some added falafel and a can of seltzer. Would not eat there again.

When my boyfriend and I decided to try out Marmara we weren't expecting anything as great as it…read morewas... It's in a fricking mall! We've been there once every week for the last month...... I've enjoyed the Branzini very much ( fillet it to avoid bones) Their balloon bread is amazing with the Tapenade they serve. We always get their hummus. And their grape leaves. The Shephards salad which Is mostly tomato &cucumbers w a flavorful dressing (we put on side) .. there's just something about using their balloon bread to scoop up your salad and dips... Yep, we always get a second order of the bread... It's very light and thin and doesn't feel as gluttonous. Everybody is very courteous... It's like going to a restaurant in the city... A belly like dancer surprised us on a Friday night which was fun. I don't really wanna recommend this too much because I don't want it to get so busy that I can't get in when I want to lol but seriously it's a really great experience. They do have wine, but we bring our own and they are happy to fill a glass! Enjoy

The food is delicious, 10/10. I've been here about 5 times and have never had a bad meal…read more The service on the other hand is very slow. Consistently. It takes about 30 minutes to get your food and even longer to get a check after the fact. Which is crazy because my table was only one out of 3 other tables in the restaurant. A 20% tip is automatically applied to your bill, and then still asked if you want to tip ON TOP OF THE FACT so pay attention to your bill! Part of me thinks the reason the service isn't as good is because they know they're automatically getting that tip, but another part of me hopes that isn't the case. Ambiance is nice, very beautiful and great place for pictures.

We both ordered the lamb and chicken over rice, naan and a side order of stuffed grape leaves, 2 sodas. Food was good, but more rice than meat. It was lunch time so very busy, we sat by the door since seating at tables were full, but it wasn't bad. We ate for a while and enjoyed it, but we took the rest home. It does a brisk business and the prices are average so it's a good deal.

Every time I finish shopping at BJ's, I pass by this place on my way out. I've been wanting to give…read morethis place a try for a while. We finally made it here one night for an early dinner. The place is pretty big, with white walls, a super high ceiling, fake grass plastered to the top of one of the walls, and mounted TVs showing menu items and regular TV. Black tables and chairs make up the front of the restaurant while booth seats make up the back area. It is fast casual where you place your order with the cashier and find a table. They'll bring the food to you when it's ready. We ordered the following: Sabich- Hubs and I liked this a lot. It's been a while since we had this and the moment I saw it on the menu, I knew I had to have it. Hubs loved the Israeli salad on the inside. Sabich reminds me of Miznon, which is great. I loved this and would order it again. Beef kufta skewer with rice and beans; fried zucchini sticks- It's beef kuftas on 2 skewers. Daughter liked this and thought it was soft and good. I loved the fact that the beef kufta was served in a skewer. I had it like this one other time in Canada and this brought me back to that time. Hubs wished it was lamb. LOL.The zucchini sticks were nicely fried. Be warned that there is an 8% service charge here. We didn't get the receipt but I saw it on the cash register screen. The entrance is a little tricky to get in. You can only get in as if you're going into BJ's/Starbucks. I didn't realize that until I passed the entrance and had to make a U-turn. Once you pass that entrance on Route 9, that's it. The strip mall only has an exit onto Route 9. Overall, service was friendly and quick. Will return when in the area to try other items on the menu.

We started an order of Mussels with a lime and cilantro sauce, Shrimp Torte (artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, shitake mushrooms, capers and green olives - in a white wine sauce topped with feta cheese), along with Octopus. Everything was terrific! Entrees consisted of a huge Cioppino consisting of shrimp, mussels, clams, wild cod, escargot, octopus and crab legs in a shrimp tarragon sauce over spanish risotto - way too big to finish! Branzino with oven roasted tomatoes over yellow corn risotto. Pistacio encrusted wild salmon with fingerling potatoes and butternut squash. Chargrilled Rack of Lamb with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes. To finish off a terrific dinner we ordered the Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Torte, Hazelnut Baclava and Banana Foster. As a remeinder, Lemon is BYOB.

My husband and I stopped in to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had visited once before and…read morewe're very impressed with the food and enjoyed meeting the owner and chef. This time we tried the fava dish, lentil salad, rice pudding, sausage appetizer and falafel. Surprised and delighted with how light and crispy the falafel was! We learned Egyptian falafel is made with fava beans and not chickpeas. The sausage appetizer came with a very flavorful tomato sauce for dipping homemade pita bread. Hummus was also very creamy and delicious. The evening was rainy and cold so we were the only customers making it feel very cozy. The owner and chef was accommodating and shared memories of growing up in Egypt. We enjoyed our time very much. Food is a step above typical Mediterranean. ​ p.s. updated review to add pictures from our first visit. We fell in love with the mint tea, lentil salad, French fries, and pita wraps with tahini dressing.

Didnt partake in $25 valet parking but was sorely tempted. The indoors are beautiful, white walls and pretty decorations, large bar. Service: Terrific. 5 stars. Julia was awesome, helpful and honest. I did tell her I cant eat spicy stuff although I enjoy lightly spicy stuff. Drinks: I tried the Lebanese red wine. Very nice medium body. My husband tried the old fashioned which he said were good. Starters: we had the salatim which is 6 different dips and two piping hot large pita breads. I liked 4 out of 6 dips while hubby liked 5 out of 6. We both loved the hummus, salad, lima bean, and eggplant ones. This kind of eating is always fun. The discovery! STAR: The star is the halloumi. Fried cheese with lightly sweet crispy crust honeyed and topped with a light refreshing salad and pomenegrate seeds. Our server charmingly apologized she forgot to warn me about the codfish chili being potentially hot but I ended up trying and enjoying it, although I felt the fish was slightly overcooked. Not rubbery but a little too crusty and not flaky enough. I did not complain though because her dessert recommendation for malabi, a custard with oat crisps, was lovely. Nice to share with hubby and cap off the night. Temperature control: we sat somewhat near the front so were hit with cold air anytime someone entered. My husband is recovering from back surgery so walking was difficult for him. I appreciate he planned such a nice outing for us despite his walking challenges. All in all, we would return and explore cocktails and other menu items.

As soon as…read morewe sat down a very large group came in - the two employees had to call a third person in from home to get the order done. And our order still arrived in great time, and with no issues! My chicken gyro was perfect in every way. It was is absolutely what I envisioned when ordering it. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the flavors were exactly what I wanted. The fries it came with had a nice crisp outside with a soft inside, as fries should be...without any weird seasoning or added starch like seems to be the popular thing these days. A dab of salt and pepper made them really pop! My partner got a huge salad and said it was delicious. Staff were awesome! They handled the group after us with ease and professionalism. I'd recommend this to anyone in the area!

Clean. Small with 4 tables. Well kept. Good service…read more We live in the area and have always wanted to try Samara but never did. Until tonight. We wanted it to be great and it was ok. To start, there's nothing going on in side the restaurant. They need a TV or some music. It's very quiet. You only hear sounds from the kitchen or the phone. As we sat waiting for our food my wife said "why's it so quiet in here?" I ordered a lamb gyro, my wife a chicken gyro and we hummus app to share. To start the hummus looked delish with warm pita. But it had no flavor. It was missing seasoning. On the other hand the gyros were good but skimpy. I'm used to street cart gyros that are overflowing with meat, lettuce, tomatoes and onions with heavy white sauce. These things were barely there. Honestly I don't know if we'll be back. We love to support small businesses but this was a miss.
