    Such a beautiful ambiance. Sammy was very inviting and prepared a beautiful dessert spread and tea time for us. Very relaxing afternoon and all the desserts were delicious, especially the Baklava and knafeh!

    A unique hidden gem in a bustling area of Montclair. It is small and cozy and easy to miss but definitely worth the dining experience ! My husband and I went here for Valentine's Day and we were pleasantly surprised! It wasn't overly crowded and we loved that there was no price fixed menu / extra charge ! We ordered Muhammara dip with pita to start and falafel. Both were fresh and delicious . For main course we had the beef shawarma and chicken kabob . It was wonderful, seasoned well , and even the salad was fresh . We also tried their house hot tea which took a while to make but it was flavorful and delicious ! The price is very reasonable, you can tell they make everything fresh and it is authentic . The menu has a lot of gluten free and vegan options which we both loved ! They play nice music and the vibe is relaxed . The server was sweet and even let us change our spot to a more comfortable couch like setting . They are very accommodating and friendly and the food is delicious ! I highly recommend for anyone trying / craving Mediterranean food !

    Stale and tasteless Falafel Waffle

    One star for cozy decor and another for friendly service, but unfortunately food fell short and didn't deliver. For appetizer we had beet salad, portion was microscopical and it lacked flavor. For main dish we ordered falafel waffle, which didn't look like waffle rather like ordinary falafel balls. It had stale taste, like made from frozen package and not freshly made. Our overall our experience with Le Souk was very disappointing.

    Yes I do, I do recommend this place. The energy in Le Souk is amazingly positive, and the middle eastern decor is fantastic. Hummus: best we've ever tasted. "Monk" Baba Ghanoush: fresh, smoky and brilliant Falafel Sandwich: baked, sauced and seasoned perfectly If you don't know that NJ is the USA's middle eastern cuisine capital, now you know.

    This place has amazing middle eastern food, and I highly recommend it! Everything I tried was so fresh and delicious, and the owners are the friendliest people. The monk baba ganoush with pita bread was really refreshing and the green peppers added a nice crunch. My friend and I tried the pomegranate chicken and homemade beef shawarma, both were super flavorful, and the hummus served with each dish was also really good. For dessert we got baklava, which was also amazing and not super sweet either. There's outdoor and indoor seating available, and the decor is really cute. You can definitely count on great service too.

    I have been passing this place for years and never noticed this delicious gem! Small but an absolutely one of a kind Mediterranean cafe! They have a great variety of menu options, drinks/teas and even authentic handcrafted bags for purchase. We tried a bunch of appetizers, Baba Ganoush, Stuffed Grape Leaves, traditional Hummus and Falafel! For the entree, we got a Chicken Kabob (which was definitely a great portion for two people). We also got Moroccan Hot Tea, which was so refreshing! This will be my go to local spot moving forward! Must try!!

    The owner was so welcoming and inviting as soon as we entered the restaurant. The food was perfectly portioned and tasted home made to those who grew up eating Syrian meals. For those who want a good lunch/brunch it is the perfect place to stop by.

    Tiny place with really cute decor. Super friendly service and great menu. Had four appetizers (Mezza) for $20 which was a great and very affordable way to taste a selection of the dishes.For main courses we had vegetarian moussaka, eggplant and beef (fetteh) , chicken pomegranate and another beef dish, (shawarma) Everyone loved their meal. Nice, generous sizedportions (but not enough for leftovers/takeout which was fine!!) They seemed a little unprepared for any sort of crowd on a Saturday night but it was fine because you weren't in a hurry. Only complaint was that it was super quiet when we came in at seven pm-- almost felt like we were intruding. Music came on only after we requested it -/was a wonderful addition to add to the ambience. Music should be on all the time! BYO but they don't have ice buckets so come prepared. Free parking after 7pm. Will come back!

    a variety of food items

    Oh. My. Goodness. I ordered take out from le souk and cannot wait to dine in person. The food is so fresh and full of flavor. I loved every single bite. They even included a little dessert with our order which was also delicious. I can't wait to go back.

    Falafel Waffles!!!!! :-)
    Derrick H.

    I was craving something filling and fresh that wouldn't leave me feeling sluggish and I'm so glad that I came here!! The interior vibe is so nice and the falafel waffles were great!! I appreciated their packaging for to-go items and the service was excellent. It was easy to order my food over the phone and it was ready super fast. Would definitely be returning! Helpful tip: If you are using your GPS to get there, it's right on the corner (on a diagonal entrance). The GPS made me think it was on the block.

    Staff was super friendly and food was excellent. BYOB was a nice option. It was a nice night to sit outside.

    Baba Ganoush and Eggplant Sandwich!! Amazing!!

From the moment you step into the enclosed entrance, the vibe is calm, cozy, and immediately promising. You can tell it's designed for outdoor seating when the weather's nice, but even during the colder months, it holds up. The menu has a solid selection with seasonal drinks mixed in, so there's always something new to try instead of defaulting to the same order every time. Shoutout to the merch by the register because it's genuinely funny and dangerously tempting. I showed restraint. Barely. The seating area is where this place really shines. There are plenty of options, great natural light streaming in through the windows, and just the right amount of quiet. It's perfect for getting work done, catching up with a friend, or simply sitting there enjoying the peace like the responsible adult you pretend to be. All around, a great spot with an easy, welcoming vibe. Already looking forward to coming back, especially when it's warm enough to see what the outdoor seating is all about.

I came here on a Wednesday afternoon and ordered the Sandy - chai with maple spice foam and I got it hot. Boy, did this hit the spot! I also got a chickpea blonde which was sensational. I was so pleased with both that I plan on becoming a regular. The price was $15 with tip for both which seems to be the standard rate for things nowadays. They have a nice drink menu with a decent selection. The store has a nice selection of stickers, cards, and other adorable take homes. I will be back here and highly recommend!

    If you are looking for an Italian gem in New Jersey (Montclair) Cafe Giotto is a must-visit…read more Before we tackle the amazing food, the first impressions were great. The lighting is warm and cozy and beckons you to dine in and enjoy every bite. The service at is excellent, from the moment you walk in. Everyone is very friendly and on a busy night we didn't have to wait long. It is BYOB, so we brought a red, white and orange wine that paired well with our meal. My friend eats at Cafe Giotto often so he's of a regular and the staff treated us really well which made our experience even better. We started with the Insalata di Mare, which was very fresh. The handmade pasta is really great and I had the Seafood Linguine, with lots of scallops and shrimp in a broth, and extra spicy. i tasted some of my friends' dishes too, which included flat bread pizza, ravioli, salmon and some other delectable dishes. I ended the night with their Tiramisu. It was the perfect finish, to the meal. Not too sweet and nicely presented with fresh fruit. Though I'm not in Jersey often, I'm sure to return to Cafe Giotto later this year.

    I had no idea this place existed for so long and I was really missing out…read more It's located on the cutest street and at first you think it's just a tiny coffee shop but then you realize they have an entire back room seating area and so much to offer. When you enter, there are an assortment of pastries so we had to get the egg custard tart, the caramelized onion and potato tart, and the were very kind to give us a chocolate tart for free. We also ordered a margarita flatbread and an eggplant parm sandwhich. The tomato sauce on the sandwhich and the flatbread is unbeatable. The eggplant parm sandwhich was probably the best one we've ever had. All of the pastries were amazing but the egg custard tart was my favorite. It had a hint of lemon and was super creamy. The owners were so kind and welcoming and I would definitely go back for a small coffee and pastry or for a full meal.
