The entrees we ordered: the vegetarian moussaka, the lamb ("Bifteki") platter, and the chicken souvlaki platter. We were very happy and very satisfied. Portions are ample. Timing of the 2 grilled meat dishes with the oven-baked casserole was perfect: everything was hot. Our thanks to the chef of a well managed kitchen. The complementary butter cookies were a delightful way to end the meal. Our server was attentive and professional. The interior is spotless, with minimal decoration, so nothing distracting. The restaurant is in a mixed residential-small business neighborhood. We're happy to recommend this restaurant to others.

I walked in and the place was very clean and put together and the guy behind the counter was nice. I ordered the falafel platter and it was only $8 and the platter had a lot of food.

There are sports on the television, but it's all from broadcast and regular cable, nothing is from a satellite. I went there on a Sunday to watch the 1pm NFL games, and the only game on was the one being shown on local t.v. Fortunately, it was the game that I wanted to watch, so I stuck around and watched the 49er game. I ordered a Bitoque burger, which has ham, a fried egg, and of course the burger on what looked to be a brioche bun (or something like it.) It was delicious and everyone else seemed to enjoy their food. There is also plenty of parking, with spaces in front of the bar and an overflow parking lot next door.

I fell in love with Moroccan cuisine and culture during my 2021 trip to Marrakesh, and every so…read moreoften I crave those bold, comforting flavors. I'm so glad I found this place -- it did not disappoint. The decor and artwork instantly transported me back to the riads and vibrant streets of Marrakech. It genuinely felt like a piece of Morocco right here in New Jersey. The food was authentic and beautifully prepared. I even got to try dishes I hadn't experienced before, which made it that much more special. The service was great and genuinely pleasant. I was attended to efficiently from start to finish and felt truly welcomed throughout my visit. Whether you've never tried Moroccan cuisine or you're longing to relive your time in Morocco, this spot is absolutely worth visiting.

We first got the combo appetizer, the hummus was simple, but I also liked the two other dips (I don't know their names). I wish the naan was fresher, but it was still warm. It was my first time having falafel and it was delicious!! Very warm and crunchy which paired well with all three dips. I also ordered the mixed platter, it came with chicken, beef, pork, and more meats that I'm not familiar with the names. Everything was delicious but what stood out to me the most was the lamp shank!! It was so juicy and soft, very well cooked. I would next time have it alone as is! Overall, I have a great time here, food is great and I would definitely come back to try more of this culture.

The appetizers are delicious and pretty large (without jeoparding quality). My favorite are the horiatiki salad (a refreshing salad with feta) and the midia axnista (steamed mussels with broth). If you're a pita bread kinda person, you can't go wrong with their pita and dips! For entrees, you cant go wrong with their grilled fishes (I liked the lavraki branzino the most). Their hirini brizola (grilled pork chop) was delicious too! The service is good here and the wait staff is friendly. One time, we were running late for our reservation, but the staff was very accommodating and still sat us down.

The restaurant was warm and inviting and we enjoyed sitting and waiting for our food. We received pita and hummus while we waited, which was delicious!

We shared the chicken souvlaki platter for dinner and were completely stuffed by the end! I regret not having room for the dessert, so next time I'll make sure to save some.
