Cold Appetizers Platter
Meghann A.

Food was great! The decor was very cute. Service was slow but I believe there was only one waitress for a large area. My friend and I shared the cold appetizer platter, falafel, and Turkish pizza which were all delicious. I would recommend coming at a time when they're not too busy.

The place is very clean and bright It was crowded but large enough that we were not packed in The menu is very large with something for everyone We got the mixed grill for 2 I think 3 people could have eating The coolest thing is they served it with dry ice then poured water over very cool not sure why but very cool A little pricey but food was great We will be back

Went here with friends for dinner, had to try it out. It's BYOB and has plenty of parking. It's just off then service road, you can't approach direct from 46 East. Our server Atahan was very attentive and Helpful. We were definitely not rushed. The place gets very loud from being busy and I feel that's always a good sign. Everything we ate we enjoyed and was delicious. The onion kebab was piping hot and the Coban Kavurma was especially tasty. If you want delish food in a great atmosphere this is the place to go! Our sever recommended the Antep Katmer for desert and that was a great suggestion. Will return... The decor was nicely done as well.

Visited this restaurant for the first time. I will say that the food was good. Everything had good flavor. We were a group of 6 and we had 2 onion bowls, a mix grill for 3, kiymali pide, findik lahmacun, phyllo scrolls, and some drinks. The service overall was good but we were visiting at the end of eid so it was busy. So the food temperatures were not the same. Everything came out hot except the mix grill which had the most food and food variety. We also had ask about 1 dish that we ordered and never received, which they thought was given to us. The restaurant itself is large with seating to accommodate, the decor is done nicely. I would visit again because the food tasted good. But advocate for yourself if there is a problem.

I have multiple customers in the area so I'm consistently in Wayne, NJ and recently discovered Dervish. The staff is outstanding and the food supports the amazing staff they have. I've been here multiple times in a short span. I love mediterranean food and dervish is one of the best restaurants in this category. The prices are completely fair restaurant is very large. Can host multiple times. I tried my whole things on the menu and I will continue doing so whenever I'm in the area. A great find!

Wow, my husband and I have been putting off coming here and finally decided to come one day for lunch. We weren't having high expectations but the food, ambience and service all 5 stars. We ordered babaganoush and ezme for mezze which came with bread, chicken adana, and shepherd's salad the first time. It was so good and fresh. It was so good we had to come back the following week for lunch again and ordered mezzes, ottoman salad, and branzino. We looooved the ottoman salad more than shepherd and everything else! We will def be regulars!

Walking into 100% instagram vibes might give you pause because how could the food possibly be good? Well, it is. I got the lamb chops cooked medium rare and they were so tender, juicy, and flavorful. Cooked perfectly and no gamey-ness at all. Spicy onion salad and rice completed the experience. Wonderful hummus with veggies for dip as well as cucumber tomato salad. Love that they label gluten free items and also have a large drink list (including mocktails like virgin mojitos).

Chicken Shish Kebab

My second time reviewing this fantastic restaurant but I just had to add more. This time we ordered all our food through DoorDash. Despite the drive the food was hot and fresh as if we were eating in person. The chicken Adana kebab was so flavorful and juicy, along with the Turkish meatballs. Another 5/5 from me.

Hummus, Tabouleh, Lebni and Phyllo scrolls.

Visited 04/17/2025 Great ratings and love of all things Mediterranean brought us here and I'm sure we'll be going back. We have a couple of great Mediterranean restaurants near and far. Dervish is new, so we just had to try it. Our server (Muhi) was very friendly and informative. Sold us on a dessert that we didn't need... but was pretty wonderful. Everything we had and shared was very good. The hummus, Tabouleh, Lebni and the mixed grill were all dishes we would order again. The Pistachio Kunefe that Muhi talked us into was pretty amazing. (after googling what was in Pistachio Kunefe, I still don't know what the recipe is, except to say it was amazing.. Topped with a 'firm/chewy' kind of 'ice cream' that will have me wanting to order it again next time we visit. Yes, it is a BYOB.

The food was flavorful. The different spices and sauces worked well together. Our server was very honest and helped us navigate this new to us cuisine. The restaurant is nicely decorated. The pink trees inside were lovely. I don't remember the names of everything we ate but it was delicious.

Dervish is delicious. That truly could be the whole review since the food speaks for itself. I've been to the cedar grove location but when the craving stuck but no reservations were available, we decided to try the Wayne location. This was just as great as the original location! The restaurant is beautiful and very well kept. A lot of thought went into this design. The food was outstanding. The Turkish pizza is also a must for me here. Crunchy, flavorful, and satisfying. We also split the mixed meat platter for 2. This is the move if you want to try a little bit of everything on the menu. Everything was tender and cooked to perfection. The best part is the piping hot bread they keep bringing out during your meal. And BYOB which is a major plus!

The spanakopitakia is outrageously delicious; the keftedes -- Greek meatballs with their special sauce defy explanations -- you have to have them!

Two of us had salmon grilled with some amazing spices and a side of spices; our other friend had the Moussaka! Everything was served hot and just delicious! One friend has a special table; you can sit either by the bar where there is "action" and lots of people. We chose the quiet side of the restaurant. Martin was an excellent server; he was attention, kind and most gracious. And Lambros checked on us -- and made sure that everything was running smoothly and we were happy and everything was just perfect. And it was . . .we look forward to returning soon!

I will not be back here anytime soon nor will I be ordering from them anytime soon.

I'm honestly a little mystified at the strong reviews this place is getting. I've been here twice…read morein the course of a week and don't plan on coming back. I came by most recently yesterday (a Sunday) in the mid-afternoon with two of my top-tier chums for a post-movie late lunch. As an aside, Sunday afternoon to me is pretty much dictionary definition Italian dinner so I would expect Popolari's best for that. I hope for their sake that's not what we got. This is a bit of an odd spot for a restaurant. This area of Little Falls is unrecognizable compared to a few years ago, and it's not really a walkable area - the downtown area is probably 15-20 minutes away by foot, and Popolari is undoubtedly benefiting primarily from the insane number of condos/townhouses that have cropped up across the street (which is making day-to-day traffic a nightmare, but that's not their fault - that's probably on Mayor Damiano and his aggressive building up of the town without doing the same for the basic infrastructure surrounding it). The parking situation here is pretty rough - there's literally four spots out front with seating for significantly more than that inside, so I would imagine most people are either foregoing sit-down and getting takeout, or just parking on the street within the block or so. Pretty cozy spot. I'm not trying to be insulting, but in a lot of ways this felt like a by-the-slice, calzones, etc. type of pizza place masquerading as a bougie Montclair Italian restaurant. It has an Italian car propped outside and some cool Euro 60s shizzle on the walls. It was pretty empty when we showed up and we had our pick of spacious booths to the side. My one chum who came with me both times commented that it feels more comfortable at night, which I would agree with. I opted for the Vodka Chicken Parm on the lunch specials menu (one of my fave dishes/specialty pizzas). It was just okay. Not particularly flavorful and it was clearly reheated like a slice of pizza would be, so the high temp overwhelmed the profile, which was a shame. I had some pasta left over and just didn't waste the calories on it. Worse than that though was the Creme Brulee I had for dessert. Honestly the worst I've had. From what I tasted, it was literally just Jell-O pudding (and it might have been the off-brand of that) with a very thick, cheap sugar layer on top. The temperature of the pudding (this was not the custard it should have been, for sure) varied dramatically bite to bite; it should have been cool but parts of it were randomly hot presumably from inexperienced sugar torching. I'm very surprised an Italian restaurant would push out a substandard product like that. The service was friendly but also not the best. Our waiter (we had the same one both times) was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. But - and this to me is likely on management more than him specifically - he didn't know to bring our food out at the same time, which is pretty much hospitality 101. This happened during both visits, where someone got their food and then awkwardly waited between five to 10 minutes for the other plates to arrive. And within this one specific meal, it happened for both the entrees and the desserts. It's a shame. The price point to me is pretty competitive, and it's a convenient location for me. But when the service and the food just aren't very good, it's tough to justify giving this place another shot. I have to assume the original Bloomfield location is significantly better.
