    Brunch special!
    Amanda L.

    We were drawn in by the colorful and cozy atmosphere, and wow--we are so glad we happened to find this place! The mint tea was refreshing, and everything we tried was so fresh and perfectly balanced. I ordered the special brunch and was stunned by how much food was on the platter. My husband enjoyed the combination of pomegranate seeds with the beef shawarma; there was ample pita bread included. This was one of the best Mediterranean meals we've ever had, and we look forward to coming back when we are in the area!

    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 !

    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.

    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.

    Monk Baba Ganoush
    Bessie T.

    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.

    Homemade Hummus

    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!!

    Pomegranate chicken

    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.

    Baba Ganoush and Eggplant Sandwich!! Amazing!!

The pan seared calamari was naked which is more healthy than fried! The miso aioli made the big difference with the squid! It was different and delicious. The squid was tender and not chewy! For dinner I ordered the beef shish kebab. It came with two kebab. The beef tasted delicious with the Turkish style marinade. I think it would have been more worth if they added another kebab stick. The pistachio rice was good. It was a different taste with nice almonds slices. The only negative were the kebabs and rice were cold like the onion salad. And I loved the onion salad. We also ordered the salmon artichoke. The pan seared salmon was over cooked. They should have seared it in a shorter time. And it lacked seasoning believe it or not! The artichoke Brussels were a little on the burnt side. The spicy tomato sauce tasted more like ketchup. We will not be ordering this in the future. We also ordered a side of fries and Tahini brussels. The fries weee very tasty and I savored every piece. The Brussels were tasty as well. For dessert, we ordered rice pudding and baklavas. Both weee very good.

Its English name comes from a Greek legend: Zeus had an affair with a beautiful woman named Io. When Hera, his wife, discovered his infidelity, she turned Io into a cow and created a horsefly to sting her on the rump. Io jumped clear across the strait. Thus, "bous" = "cow" and "poros" = "crossing place": Bosphorus = "crossing place of the cow." Located off of busy Franklin Avenue in Nutley, my partner, our friends, and I have decided on our dinner at this family-owned-and-run BYOB establishment, which has been open since 1995. A reservation was made for a party of 4 by calling their restaurant. Upon arrival after three years, we were welcomed by Nora, the owner, and made our way to a table by the piano inside, evoking a cozy, thoughtfully designed, upscale vibe with music playing softly. Their menu features Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. For starters, we decided on the Puffed Rill Pastry and Grape Leaves. Our main meal consisted of all lamb dishes (Lamb Shish Kebab, Beyti Kebab, Lamb Chops, and Lamb Sauté). Our food was fresh, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection, accompanied by a beautifully presented dish. Everything was authentically made with love here. Wish we could have stayed for dessert, as they looked amazing, but some of us were in a rush. It's definitely on the higher end cost but worth the taste. Our visit ended with a hug and a piece of candy.

The olive oil didn't seem to pair super well with it though. Got the Adana kebab and mixed grill to go (sampled all the items at the restaurant while still hot). Chicken shish- fairly tender. Slightly charred. Good flavor Lamb shish- cooked ~ medium with a little pink. Good flavor but could be a bit more tender. I do prefer my meats medium rare so it could just be that. Adana kebab- Tender, good flavor. I think it could've been a bit juicier? Burger- super tender and full of flavor. Best meat by far. Veggies and rice- both very good. I appreciate the attention to the sides. Service - 10/10 Food- 8/10

    Beautiful, Fresh, and Worth a Visit…read more I stopped by this cute, beautiful, and very clean restaurant a few nights ago, and I'm really glad I did. My wife tried the branzino, while I decided to go with the dorado. Both fish were fresh, perfectly cooked, and very well flavored. The ambiance is also fantastic--warm, inviting, and a place where you can actually relax and enjoy your meal. To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised by the prices. The portions were generous, and the prices felt very reasonable for the quality. I definitely want to come back and try some of their other dishes, especially the shish kebabs and lamb kebabs. I highly recommend giving this place a try. You won't be disappointed!

    Disappointing and Overpriced Group Dining Experience…read more A friend organized a dinner for six at Mishmish, expecting a quality dining experience. Instead, we were told upon arrival that parties of six could not order from the regular menu and would receive a special chef's tasting menu. We were also informed that gratuity was automatically included. The service got off to a poor start. When I requested still water, the server responded, "So, tap for you," later explaining that the tap water was filtered. Two guests received their drinks promptly, while the rest of us waited at least 15 minutes--before the first dish even arrived. The food was served family-style, but the portions and presentation made little sense for a table of six. Most dishes came on only two plates, with one small portion intended for three people to share. We received items such as a small bun with sauce, a modest salad, a piece of smoked trout, and buttered boiled potatoes--the best dish of the meal, although hardly an impressive accomplishment. Most absurdly, two chicken legs were served for three people to share. How exactly were three guests expected to divide two chicken legs? A tasting menu for six should be properly portioned, not presented as a series of awkward, undersized servings. There was also confusion about the menu. When one guest pointed out that two listed items on our special menu had not been served, the server consulted the chef and returned to say that we had received everything we were supposed to receive. If items had been removed from our menu, we should have been told at the beginning of the meal--or the menu should have been corrected. Following this we were provided A dessert consisting of an extremely bitter artichoke-based liqueur and one small scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream for every three guests to share described as "a gesture" based on the menu confusion. The presentation for a table of six was virtually nonexistent. Dishes were simply placed on the table, and we sometimes had to ask what we had been served. The service was mediocre at best, the portions were poorly planned, and the overall experience felt disorganized. At $130 per person--$780 total, including the automatic gratuity--the meal was nowhere near the quality or value expected at that price. Needless to say, I will not return.
