Being it was our first time here, we asked them to surprise us with whatever their best dishes are. There are 3 of us. They brought this amazing platter of rice with a variety of beautifully roasted meats, 2 side salads and the "topping" of carrots, raisins and almonds. Every single bite was delicious.

Do not order sushi here!

Our recent visit to Bella's was good. They offer beer and wine here with a very limited selection…read more I almost wish they didn't have a liquor license... 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.

Greek City is still in my rotation and not going anywhere. It's still BYOB, they give you amazing…read moreolive oil and kalamata olives at the table and the food is good. We had the octopus appetizer this time and a large Greek salad with grilled calamari. Such a refreshing, delicious dinner to share. Lots of chargrilled octopus, sliced up to eat and dressed with parsley, capers, lemon and olive oil. Ugh, so good. Drizzle more of that awesome table EVOO for even more yumminess. The large Greek salad is...large. It's well balanced, has mild feta and we got it all topped with grilled calamari (for an added $9). It's a good value as you get plenty of calamari (vs ordering an app of calamari). Dinner ends with complementary Greek cookies - kourabiedes. Bring cash app they charge a credit card fee (my only gripe here). We bright home a gyro platter to go and our server timed the order perfectly so it came out right when we were about to leave.

Everything on the menu is vegan, but my family truly could not taste any difference when we visited. We ordered the Oreo protein pancakes, blueberry pancakes, penne with vodka sauce, and a breakfast burrito. Since I turned vegan, I've been craving pancakes so the food really hit the spot. The pancakes were so fluffy and tasted incredible. The penne was also so flavorful and was maybe our favorite dish. The breakfast burrito was also filling and tasted great. Overall, I'm very impressed with the quality of food and would come here regularly if I lived in the area. Additionally, the prices were super reasonable and are definitely more affordable than the average restaurant in the area. Chelsea was our waitress and I want to give her a special shoutout because she was particularly helpful and friendly to us. She did an excellent job answering our questions and even was willing to share general tips on vegan cooking. She really went out of her way to help me out after I mentioned that I recently turned vegan.

Best thing to happen to this food strip in AGES ! Fresh…read moreingredients and tasty recipes . The price is appropriate for the type of food you're getting, but even more so-the portion sizes and flavor are top notch . We've already stoped in multiple times so here are some of our take aways : -dolmades : honestly, the best I've ever had. And I try them EVERYWHERE. Not cheaply portions either - solid roll and you get 5 in an order. WORTH IT. -pita chips : clearly homemade and SO delicious . They're softer than the ones people are used to getting, but firm enough to really hold some hummus Bowl/Wrap ingredients : BASES -med couscous: light and fluffy, not porridge-esque -warm garbanzo beans : Held their integrity during cooking so you're greeted with big pillows of seasoned goodness -farmers mix : more than just Romaine-reminiscent of a garden mix (arugula, kale, etc) SPREADS -zesty Feta : no words can do this justice. Chunky and full of love -roasted eggplant hummus : brought an almost Smokey flavor as opposed to regular hummus -Kalamata olive hummus : recommended by the young man making my dish and WOW so glad he did. I'm not a huuuuuuge olive fan and this was just a nice essence of kalamatas . I was afraid it would be too potent and take over the dish. QUITE THE OPPOSITE! Will never look back from other options ! -tzatzki : mild flavor and perfect accompaniment to anything it touches PROTEIN First off, they offer the most GENEROUS protein portions. You 'get 2' so they let you do a full scoop of one and a full scoop of the other. Falafel is about 4 balls per serving so you can mix and match with another protein -Moroccan steak : nice sized slices/bits of spiced meat -lemon chicken : you can taste the citrus without it being overpowering . Also in nice sized pieces -chicken shawarma : insta classic ! The meat is almost buttery it's cooked so well -falafel : my personal favorite . You can taste how fresh they are ! No dryness here! Great Big Crunch surrounding a little pillow of happiness . And if you choose this as your protein, be prepared to be AMAZED at how much you get! TOPPINGS Unlike other stores of this kind, the toppings bar is unlimited !!! And that doesn't speak to the quality of the ingredients. Again, everything is so fresh and taken care of properly. Most of this part is self explanatory so I'll just touch on the parts we found interesting: -chickpea croutons : not nearly as hard as expected to be so that was a plus. The shell has a crisp but you won't worry about breaking a tooth -dolmades : if you're afraid to commit to a full order, here's your chance to try it ! You won't be disappointed -tabbouleh : such a lovely addition to the meal you just created . Adds flavor with the mint/parsley/onion heavenly goodness -cabbage : tried both the white and red at different times and both were tasty. Felt that the white took in more of the flavor around the dish while the red just added crunch DRESSINGS -any tahini option is the right answer . If you're not familiar with the taste of tahini to begin with (earthy if you will), then I would recommend a flavored one -roasted red pepper tahini: a gift from above ! There is a slight sweet yet smokey flavor that wraps everything together -garlic jalapeño tahini : not as spicy as you'd imagine so it just gives a nice lil zest to your dish -lemon & olive oil : depending on what you put in your order, this will help with overall texture. If you opted out of wet stuff (tomatoes, lettuce, etc) this is your choice ! Lastly, The Earth Burger : like a big ole falafel and WOW did not disappoint . Maintained the integrity of the falafel (crispy outside, soft inside) while giving you the satisfying big bite you're looking for . Only complaint is since it is such a hearty size, maybe a size of tahini or tatziki should accompany it . I'd say on the burger but it's cooked so perfectly that I don't want to risk it getting soggy . Basically, this is a great asset to the area. Kind staff, smiling faces, clean sitting area and portion sizes that will have you stuffed all day !

Solid fast, casual Mediterranean food in Paramus…read more Despite Hummus Republic apparently having multiple locations in NJ and across the U.S., I shamelessly admit that I had neverrrrr, everrrrr heard of Hummus Republic prior to finding them on Yelp recently. Whenever I think of fast, casual Mediterranean food, popular spots like Naya, Cava and Eons come to mind and it was nice to see yet ANOTHER option in Hummus Republic. As they say, the more the merrier! Hummus Republic's menu looks eerily similar to those aforementioned competitors. They serve your ever popular Mediterranean-inspired custom bowls, wraps and pitas that comprise of a base/carb/salad, protein (e.g. chicken, falafel, shawarma, etc.), hummus and spreads, toppings and dressings. One thing was for sure after I brought our takeout orders home - it will satisfy any large appetite because the employees absolutely PACKED our bowls to the gills. There wasn't even enough breathing room for an ant! My wife and I both ordered custom bowls with chicken shawarma and falafel and various toppings. As favorable as the serving size was, unfortunately, the flavors were no Naya, Cava or Eons. Don't get me wrong, it was decent, but something was definitely lacking. The ingredients were fresh, but something about the mixture of it all didn't gel. It was one of those "when you know, you know" type of situations because, after taking a few bites, we both agreed that its competitors were definitely better overall. STILL, with what I said about the flavors, it was solid. By far from something terrible, but a rung below the best of the fast, casual Mediterranean spots. There is no doubt Naya, Cava and Eons are at the very top, but, if we were in the area, would I drop in again? Sure. Absolutely. Custom Bowl with halal chicken and falafel
