Visited Antioch during the holidays so it wasn't that busy. I'm sure on a Friday and Saturday it'd be more busy. The restaurant itself doesn't have much seating, only a few tables, I would say about 50 people occupancy so if you're going, make sure you make reservations. The place was nicely decorated and well kept and clean. The service was great, but this is based on 2 tables being served. I'm sure the service is just as exceptional on busy days. I love that they start out with table bread, I wished they asked us if the table wanted more. We ordered a few dishes for the table, everything was delicious. The dishes we ordered is the usual dishes that we'd order from any Mediterranean restaurant. The fries calf liver is definitely something to try. Massive amounts of flavor. The chicken kebab is very tender and the steak had a nice char flavor. Can't wait to go back again and introduce this little place to more people.

Our appetizers and the puffy bread that came with it were delicious. Naturally, we were excited for…read moreour entrees to arrive. After they did, however, I was not very thrilled. We had to ask twice for our rice we ordered for entrees to be brought out because our server forgot. Fine, that happens. But what really threw me off was when I questioned if the mold in my cheese was normal, the server assured me it was naturally occurring for the flavor. I felt gaslit because I have never had Parmesan with such questionable green growth on it for consumption in any restaurant in my entire life. The server said if it bothered me, he'd bring out fresh shavings with no mold. I have left pictures so you can be the judge of this. Aside from my minor issue with the cheese, the ambiance of the restaurant was nice and there's plenty of choices for meat and non-meat eaters alike

Kilim is a true neighborhood gem. This year, we celebrated my father's birthday here, and it was…read morethe perfect choice! The ambiance is very peaceful, with walls are covered in lush greenery and artwork that will make you feel like you are in the Mediterranean islands The food is traditional and consistently high quality--my personal favorites are the Kilim Salad and the stuffed cabbage. The service is equally exceptional. Haluk is the best waiter- he is kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making every visit feel special. The warm hospitality and outstanding Mediterranean food keep us coming back.

Friendly, attentive, and on top of everything without ever making us feel rushed. We started with the hummus, zucchini pancakes, and shepherd's salad with feta, and all of them were fresh and packed with flavor. For entrees we had the whole branzino, octopus, lamb shish kebab, Adana kebab, and fried calf's liver. Every single dish was delicious and cooked perfectly. And the rice... honestly some of the best rice I've ever had at a restaurant. Simple but unbelievably flavorful. Everyone in our group left happy and impressed. Definitely recommend giving this place a try and we're already looking forward to coming back.

Which was a bit of a shock at first but honestly as parents of a 2 year old, we welcomed the silent room (besides the Lebanese music). Ordered the dinner for 2, the cucumber yogurt dip, and a mint tea. We were so happy with this place. The ladies working were so sweet and everything came out quickly and fresh off the grill! Let me also point out that the grill master was a woman. Awesome. Can't wait to go back again for a casual night and BYOB next time. Just curious why the place was empty! And we didn't see one person come in to pickup takeout. What's the deal?

We sampled all 3 of the red wines they offered before deciding on one and buying a bottle. Bottle prices are fair enough, but these aren't high end wines. We ordered the mussels appetizer here again as it was awesome last time... And it was awesome again! So delicious. The hummus bowls were ok. We're generally not wow'd with these, but when combined with an appetizer and their complimentary dip with pita, it's all filling enough. The air felt a bit stagnant here again and then some customer must have said something because they finally turned on their house air conditioning. It felt so much more comfortable at that point, but we were already almost done with our meal. Service was great. They also charge a 3% credit card fee or offer a 4% discount if paying with cash. A mixed bag of penalty and incentive.

Best beef shawarma I've tasted so far as well.

5 Stars - The best hummus and mint lemonade in Jersey!…read more If you are in Paterson, Al-Basha is an absolute must. We had an incredible spread, but let's talk about that Signature Mint Lemonade first. It's iconic for a reason, bright green, perfectly frozen/blended, and so refreshing that it balances out the rich meal perfectly. We ordered the Falafel Platter, and you can tell they do it the right way here. The falafel was crispy on the outside, light and green on the inside, and not oily at all. When you pair it with their Hummus (which is hands down the creamiest I've ever had, especially with the warm meat and pine nuts on top), it's perfection. The Mix Mashawi (grill platter) was also fantastic, tender lamb and chicken that actually tasted like they came off a real charcoal grill. Great portions, authentic vibes, and the service was super welcoming. I'll be craving that mint drink until I come back!

Our server was attentive to all of our needs. We realized that they have lunch specials for $22 each in which you receive a Shepard's salad, an appetizer and a main course with a drink and delicious bread. There were many different options to choose from, but I decided upon the Shepard's salad, stuffed grape leaves and the chicken kebab with rice. We were served an absolute ton of delicious savory food. The chicken was perfectly seasoned! We ended up having a birthday tartufo with sparklers on top to celebrate my friend's birthday. It was a great lunch and I would highly recommend going to Mado's particularly at lunchtime for their $22 special.

The baba ghanoush was everything I love in a good eggplant dip and was a definite win in our book - seasoned, textured, and slightly smokey. We intuited this would be delicious by getting two containers of it, and this turned out to be a great life choice. Chicken adana is a fan favorite in our house, and it's done pretty well here. They're like elongated loaves of marinated and spiced ground chicken, and delicious with rice and a dollop of yogurt sauce. We preferred these over the chicken kebab, which were just as flavorful but quite a bit drier. Both entrees were served with a grilled tomato and pepper, which were still warm and charred from the grill. They also came with small side salads, with lightly dressed and slightly wilted greens. My husband appreciated the extra veggies with our meal, but I far preferred the warm and soft pita rounds.

Went to order today and it costs $12 more since we last ordered. Fine, we decide to press on. Food gets here and the portions are significantly smaller.

We're so disappointed and unfortunately won't be ordering again.
