    First time having Turkish and I will be back! Great food and great service! Mom and pop spot.

    Chicken Sish kebab lunch
    Ozlem G.

    The lunch portion came with plenty of food. The red lentil soup was delicious. It was full of flavor with a slight kick to it which made it very enjoyable. The chicken shish was amazing- full of flavor and cooked well. The rice and salad were the perfect side dishes, however I could have done with not as much dressing in the salad, but still tasted great. Definitely enjoyed this meal and will be ordering from them again.

    Mixed Grill Plate
    Merve Ç.

    Incredibly amazing!! I wish I can give 10 stars for this place. Me and my boyfriend just walked in and taste their mixed grill and mixed appetizers which both of them were extremely amazing. Highly recommended!!!!

    Turkish tea on the house!

    After having lived in Totowa for 8 years, my brother and I stopped into this gem of a restaurant for the first time today. The lady at the counter was so sweet, made conversation with us, and even offered us a delicious cup of warm turkish tea while we waited. The tea was so inviting we actually ended up switching our order from take out to dine-in, and they kindly accommodated that as well. We both ordered platters, chicken gyro for me and beef/lamb shish for my brother, and the portions were sizable. I took half home for dinner while my brother finished his entire plate on the spot. The chicken was tender and savory, the rice buttery and flavorful, and the pita soft and warm. Would definitely recommend! Knocked down a star simply because I found it to be a bit pricey for a casual lunch in town (~$29 for the both of us).

    It is tempting to say that this place has one of the better Doner sandwich (/ platter). But that might steal the thunder from the excellent & authentic Turkish Tea that this small casual establishment serves. Likewise saying anything about the near perfect cup of tea might rob the spot light from the most amazing home made Ayran, made from home made Yogurt, that I have had this side of the Atlantic. Go there for the Ayran drink, go there for the tea, go there for the Doner, for the rice pudding, for the humus & grilled eggplant, for the slow passionate cooking by a husband-wife team. They cook, they serve, they make comforting small conversation, while serving delicious home made food. .

    Dear lord this food is amazing. Without a doubt the best hummus I've ever had. Literally, every.single.item I was was so tasty. Their lamb kebab is very tender and extra flavorful. I can't say enough about this place. Such a gem!

    This place absolutely AMAZING! I was curving for gyro and we decided to come here with my friend. I had the best lamb gyro ever. The stuff is very nice and they offer us a free baklava which was also very delicious. I highly recommend this place l. You should definitely try. They also the best chicken shish in the top of Mediterranean salad So delicious

    Adena kabob wrap with lettuce, tomaro and onion.  White sauce is served in the side.

    I have had this establishment bookmarked on my list of places to try for a while. While running Saturday afternoon errands in the area, decided to stop by with my daughter to give it a try. What a fantastic find! From the second we walked in the door, the husband and wife owner team were super friendly and inviting. My daughter chose the Gyro and I chose the adena kabob wrap along with a side order of fries. As we were waiting for our food to arrive, a few other customer stopped in and they seemed to have favorable past experiences. We noticed baba ghanouj in the service counter and the owner encouraged us to try some - since it was homemade. When I asked for a small sample along with their homemade hummus, she obliged with a nice size sample plate. It was so good, we decided to take a container home with us for the rest of the family to try! Looks like they do a lot of takeout, having three tables for those who wish to dine in. We decided to stay there to eat in the restaurant and glad we did. This great restaurant it's worth a stop if you are in the neighborhood or even driving by on interstate 80. It's just a few minutes off the highway and the neighborhood is very safe. Give them a shot - you will not be disappointed!

    Tavuk Doner Plate
    Amit M.

    One of the best Turkish restaurants in Totowa, NJ area. It's a nice and cozy family owned restaurant. The food is authentic and everything is made from scratch. We order Salata as the appetizer which served with Pita bread. For main course we ordered Lamb Adana gyro and Tavuk Doner plate (chicken gyro platter)served with the pilaf style rice. The tatziki spice was nice and consistent without mayonnaise . Loved the food. Would definitely recommend the place.

    The food is authentic, fresh, and extremely tasty. It's an old world taste in a small modern setting with affordable prices. You will not be disappointed.......

    Do you ever have an experience at a place so bad that it ruins the trajectory of your whole day?…read moreThat was my morning at Jackie Smalls. I don't give out one-stars on principle unless the food is inedible or something egregious happens but I feel in this case it is warranted. This is my third time at Jackie Smalls. My first, I thought the avo toast was great. Second time I got a very bland breakfast burrito. My third, today, I brought my infant son and decided to dine in. I asked for a high chair and once seated was told by my "waiter" that he could not take my order but I had to order at the front. First issue was this high chair. Nobody knew how to adjust the straps including me, and it was some minimal little aesthetic thing that looked like he could easily topple out of. This is important later. Anyways no big deal with the ordering, front guy was accommodating and let me order from my seat. I ordered the Smalls Scramble for me and French toast for my son with the syrup and raspberries on the side, no pistachios or whip. Food takes a good bit to come out, which is no biggie either. When it arrives, they set down the French toast plate with a knife (a knife knife not a butter knife) on it in front of my son. Ok not great but I hand them the knife back. Then I try the food. Honestly, I'm not sure what to say about the food but...yikes. The eggs were certainly not soft scrambled, and the toast did not look buttered, and the weak potatoes were somewhat like a thick flaccid potato chip drenched in truffle oil and, by the way, not more than a speck of salt on anything. It looked pretty but that was about it. The French toast was deep fried or air fried and it was just not good. Sorry, no other way to say it. So I go to ask for two things: salt, and to inquire as to whether the multi-grain toast has nuts since I have an allergy and it looked concerning. I keep having to go up to these counters and leave my baby unattended in his unstable high chair because nobody will come to me and keep making me get up. I had to ask like five people about the bread until someone pulled out a binder and started looking for allergens. Everyone was just pointing me to the next person and many seemed to simply not understand my question due to a language barrier. I get my salt, and this is some COARSE salt. So I couldn't even fix the seasoning. Not flaky, but like coarse and pebbly for pickling or seasoning steaks, not for food. While I'm up and bouncing from person to person I keep gesturing at my son and nobody will come to my table. In the meantime, he smushed the raspberries and spilled the syrup and I'm back and forth between my conversation and keeping my son in his chair. At the end, I just didn't trust these people's knowledge of anything and could not eat any of my food but brought it home for my husband. It's one thing to serve food that needs a bit of work, but you need to at least offer normal table salt for folks to fix it. It's another thing to have the majority of your staff not know about allergens or how to navigate your high chairs. Also that food needed more than a little bit of work. I will say though those pancakes did look good. I will not be posting pictures for this review because I don't want to mislead with the pretty plating.

He immediately started barking at us about how we had made a reservation for four adults and one child, and that we would have to pay full price for the fourth adult which was $80 who did not show up. When we were seated, I had already apologized to the server that the fourth person could not make it, and the server -- who had otherwise been wonderful -- politely told us it was fine. I really thought this won't be a big deal like other establishments that are even more high end. I later learned that the individual's name was Tom. Describing his behavior as merely rude would be an understatement; his conduct was obnoxious, unprofessional, and unnecessarily aggressive. First, being charged the full $80 price for a guest who did not attend was extremely shocking and disappointing. More concerning, however, was the manner in which Tom approached and addressed us. In all my years of dining out, I have never experienced such poor service or such an inappropriate attitude from restaurant staff. Although I was eventually provided with containers to pack some food to take home, the entire experience left me feeling deeply insulted and completely ruined what was meant to be a special Mother's Day dinner. This Tom, who I was told aa a manger lacks a professionalism to be a qualified one. He needs a major attitude change.
