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.

First time ordering from here. I really like their online website, makes ordering super easy. And I…read morelike how you can get delivery through them rather than going through a third party app. There are coupons on the website too for pickup and delivery. We were able to get 15% off. Our food was delivered a half hour later but the delivery person was very nice and found our apartment quickly and dropped the food off at the door which was great. We tried the snapper and vegan platter ($30). The snapper was huge ($30)! Enough to share with another person. Was on a huge tray of rice. The flavor was good but part of the fish was overcooked and dry and tasted a little fishy. The rice was excellent. I enjoyed the vegan platter, the cauliflower was standout. I also liked the falafel, which had a good consistency, flavor and wasn't too dry. Their garlic sauce is good too, and we ordered extra. Our friend's chicken and meat shawarma platters looked really good (~$17 each). They also got the mint lemonade ($7) which they say is really good. It looked super green and healthy, and like a slushie. They make the pita there and the pita was warm still and had a flavor! Didn't taste just bland and doughy. It tasted a bit buttery and kind of like pizza dough. Only $1 extra for pita and they gave us a bunch. This place definitely gives big portions for a good price. I would try some other food again!

Honestly not bad. Good presentation. Meat was seasoned and cooked well. Nothing was too much. Well…read morebalanced "sandwich" or should I say SHAWAFEL!? hahaha overall the falafel in the sandwich wasn't overbearing. The sauce was light but everywhere. Veggies crisp. The lamb toasty. I'd give a 7.9 for sure. My only concern is if it's halal. I was asking locals about it and one guy said the only thing halal is the falafel which shocked me. Either he got beef with that restaurant or something else. Would come back so long as the drama is settled between this guy and the shop

It seems this 90s-vintage spot has added more combos over the years; tonight I enjoyed the Jordan Combo. Edit: I'm erasing the "This review is currently than most" tab by reviewing the reviews. Whether to trust the 1-star critiques is ultimately up to the American people but I've enjoyed Ibby's since my 90s era as a low-ranking political hack (cue up Gin Blossoms and Everclear for my bittersweet nostalgic flashback) and in recent times have had multiple in-person and delivery orders and always liked everything. The service is fine. As some of you know I'm not shy about mentioning surly service. No, they're not going to say "How was your day as a software-as-a-service consultant? That hat really accentuates your cheekbones." And for the price complainers, I'm curious where your lower-cost options are found if they aren't dollar pizza. I'm in no position to agree or disagree with the allegation that the fries are subpar as I haven't ordered fries in my nearly three decades of Ibby's awareness so I will suggest skipping them in favor of the known quantities.

Even the pita tasted fresh and warm instead of like something that had been sitting around. What stood out just as much as the food was the hospitality. The team was genuinely friendly from the moment I walked in, helped explain the different options without making me feel rushed, and took their time making sure the order was exactly how I wanted it. The restaurant was also spotless and well organized, even while they were busy. You can tell there is a lot of attention being paid to both the food quality and the customer experience here. Easily one of the better fast-casual meals I've had in Jersey City. I'll definitely be back.

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.
