Do not order sushi here!

"A slice of pizza should look a certain way. There's a bit of variance for and aft but when you…read moreverge too far from the original slice of pizza....well that just ain't pizza anymore." Allow me to paint the scene for you: my lovely wife and I were on our way back to her folks after a late-night jaunt to TJ Maxx. Apparently, her sister had tried on a terrific black number that she just HAD to have. As it turned out, their tastes were not completely aligned as we left the store empty-handed and returned to Monsey for a couple of consolation slices. We parked in the rear and entered through the service entrance. I love service entrances - I feel a bit like I'm better than everyone else. We saw a bunch of teenagers sitting in their respective "booths", if you can call them as such, which harkened back to high school memories with the wrestling team and girls who wanted to be seen with lettermen (I asked my mother-in-law if I should capitalize lettermen - she said no). The line for ordering wasn't as long as my dear wife remembered from her days of yesteryear, and it was our turn after a quick perusing of the shoppe's wares. I went in for a "vegetable" slice and the missus chose a regular cheese slice and a spicy fries. I immediately realized how wrong I was for using such a vague term as "vegetable" and asked the strapping young man for clarification. He told me he rang me up for a blizzard, and that I could change it but he sounded a bit harried in his conveyance. I told him no matter and summarily paid the $11 and change. Our pizza was ready in under 3 minutes and my wife, pregnant of 9 months, rose to the occasion and collected our order. After securing our own booth, not unlike the booths occupied by teens the store over, I began chowing down. The dough was a bit soft and so I employed the classic fold-your-slice-in-half technique. Rookie mistake. Obviously, to any innocent bystander, this was my first blizzard slice. Within seconds, oily sauce began pouring forth from every crevice. Allow me to explain the blizzard. Take a pie crust, cover it with mozzarella, diced peppers, onions and tomatoes, then top that with their signature house sauces - both sweet and spicy. The sauce overwhelms the slice. I enjoy a neat slice of pizza and I enjoy a true slice of pizza - the blizzard was neither. A slice of pizza should look a certain way. There's a bit of variance for and aft but when you verge too far from the original slice of pizza....well that just ain't pizza anymore. I summarily wolfed down my slice, the exact way my mother warned me not to for the first 27 years of my life, then got to work on the fries. The slice tasted fine, but it was a nightmare to consume. The fries were quite tasty, within a standard margin of soggy/crispy variance throughout. The missus finished up and then went to the counter for round two - takeaway for the in laws who were watching kid #1 at their home. I went to wait in the car. Within 5 minutes, she shoves her pregnant stomach through the driver's side door (I couldn't locate my license or wallet when we left for TJ Maxx all those hours earlier) with 2 boxes stacked on each other and proceeds to delve into this drawn out story with color photos and diagrams complete with circles and arrows on the back of each one explaining in detail what each one was for illustrative purposes to be used in the event I didn't grasp the gist of the situation. As it turned out, the young man behind the counter who, we'll call Elchanan to enhance the review, and also his name was Elchanan, asked my beautiful wife how I enjoyed my slice. True to form, she told him "it's totally fine, but he doesn't enjoy messy slices." Above and beyond the call of duty for such a station, Elchanan showed his true colors and rose to the occasion. The story transmitted to me went something like, "he quickly said, 'I know which slice he wanted!' And then he threw it in for free!" There's nothing like free pizza. Especially delicious vegetable pizza. But please, I implore you: don't order the blizzard.

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.

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.

RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = We were the 1st customers shortly after opening at 11:30 AM on a Saturday. Slowly other customers began trickling in, but there was PLENTY of space inside still.

OUTSTANDING Restaurant!!! A Must go-to spot. One-of-a-kind…read moreMediterranean restaurant. The food and the staff are amazing. Warm, friendly and so accommodating. BYOB and also has outdoor seating. Food has a turkish sensibility. We have gone here 3 times and here is our food review. Falafel is cooked to perfection, crispy outside and soft inside.NOT greasy at all. Filling is mixed with delicous herbs giving a green tinge. Oh-so good! Lentil soup is light, gently and perfectly spiced. Not thick, a lovely puree. Cold Turkish Salad. So fresh and refreshing. Served cold. It is a Turkish version of ratatouille of a sort. Vegetables are cooked nicely and still have a little bite to them. The spices are on point. Unique and special dish. Shish Twood (Chicken Kabab) The best we have EVER eaten. Large pieces of chicken that are so wonderfully spiced (but not spicy). So moist and tender. Rice is amazing. Again so flavorful! They sometimes have bulgar which is equally delicous (my favorite). A special item that is rarely found in restaurants. Chicken Shawarma. Similar spices to the Kabob, small pieces of moist and tender chicken. Not dry like is often found at other places. Kufta Kubob. Mix of minced lamb and beef, again perfectly seasoned and grilled. Moist and delicious. Great yogurt sauce on the side. Thick and flavorful. Kufta Kabab Pan with tomato sauce. Same meat mix as the Kabob except in is a large,round patty and is underneath a light tomato sauce. Lamb Chops. So delicous! Tender and moist and perfectly cooked to medium as requested. Generous serving. Another perfectly spiced dinner. Mixed Grill. Kufta kabab, chicken kabab, and steak. The steak was delicous..tender and moist. Generous serving and a nice way to sample everything. Pistaschio & Banana Pudding. Homemade and a "don't miss dessert"! Thick and creamy and oh-so-good! Not too sweet. Really special.

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.
