Spread across two continents and made up of seven different geographical regions, Türkiye is a…read morecountry of diverse and delicious culinary delights. Plateaus and plains of fertile soil formed by now-extinct volcanoes, snow-covered mountains, and fast-flowing rivers lend themselves to a rich and varied table. Influenced by Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Central Asian, and Eastern European food and culture, Turkish cuisine is distinctive, as varied as the country itself. Located on busy W Palisade Avenue in downtown Englewood, my partner, our friends, and I decided on Antioch Restaurant for a celebratory dinner before a show at the nearby Bergen PAC. We made a reservation for a party of five via Yelp. Upon arrival for some of us as first-timers, this BYOB establishment offered a cozy yet modern vibe that felt both welcoming and elegant where we were seated immediately. The dim lighting sets the perfect mood. A well-balanced menu features plenty of choices for everyone. We decided on Antioch House Falafel, Turkish Meatball, Chicken Gyro Plate, and Classic Fettuccine. We began our meal with complimentary huge balloon bread (Balon lavaş), but it became hard like a cracker once it cooled. The food was fresh, well-executed with a distinctive combination of traditional and contemporary flavors, and delicious. Every dish we tried and tasted had been cooked with the utmost care, authenticity, and the presentation was amazing. The owner, Ugur, was a pleasure to talk to--friendly, welcoming, and professional. Definitely one of the better restaurants we've tried in the area, and a place that represents Turkish cuisine very well.

No pita bread for $43. I also got the mixed cold appetizer which has 5 different spreads and that came with only 1 pita bread cut in half for $24. How ever the appetizer was good flavor just needed more bread. Ground meat pide was pretty good. For dessert I had the khanefe. I'm used to it being a little more crunchy and syrupy but I guess that's just a personal preference. Overall food was good. They don't give you enough. Portions are small for the pricing.

I wasn't very hungry, so I just ordered the lentil soup--which was exquisite-- My husband and I shared a mixed platter featuring chicken and two other types of charcoal-grilled meats, served with rice and some raw white onions seasoned with a soft special blend. Everything was delicious and soft for our stomach For dessert, we ordered the Baklava; it was delicious and served nice and warm! I give the food, the venue, and the customer service a 10/10 Our waiter was attentive and very cordial. Ambience: super relaxed and low noise on Saturday at 2:15 pm Prices: $$$ ( fair) We will definitely be back. God bless you, and thank you for everything!

We ordered appetizers, sides, and entrees. As well as drinks. Everything we tried was delicious and fresh. We'll definitely be back again if we're in the area and are looking for a good meal!

Rated 5/5 This was…read moremy first time ordering delivery from this place. -I ordered a Bakhtiari (chicken and beef) for my husband and a Fesenjan. Meats were tasty and soft. Amazing flavor!!! -I chose the Fesenjan because it contains ingredients like pomegranate and walnuts--it sounded really interesting. The order comes with Basmati rice. The star of the dish is a chicken leg--apparently slow-cooked for hours--which was truly delicious; the flavor wasn't spicy or overly spiced, but a balance of sweet and savory--leaning more towards sweet--and it was aromatic and tender. Overall, it was delicious; the rice was simple but incredibly tasty. The dishes are priced a bit higher than usual--arguably a little expensive--but it's worth it because you can see the fresh, high-quality ingredients. The cousin and flavor are excellent, and as I mentioned before, the portions are generous. Kudos to the entire team behind this restaurant; keep up the excellent work. I will certainly be ordering again or visiting in person soon.

Inside the restaurant, it was even more nicer, with modern cozy dining space and full service bar. We started with the grilled octopus that came with plenty of well cooked octopus pieces, with some delicious mix of onion, peppers and red wine vinaigrette. For entree, I ordered the braised lamb benedict, a rare dish I haven't seen anywhere else. It came with two pieces of bagel base, topped with decent tasting braised lamb and perfectly poached eggs. The side of salad and potato has were good too. I also got the Lefkes Shrimp Tempura roll, which was the best dish of the night for me. It was a big roll, filled with ingredients and topped with massage. The virgin mojito a tasty drink as well. The service was okay. Our waiter did his basic duties. The dishes seemed to be coming out slow, though were one of the only four parties in the restaurant. Overall we had a nice family lunch, but the experience fell far short of being upscale, since the dishes were priced that way.

4.5 stars Zula Grill…read morehad been on my list for a while, and it had apparently been on my brother's as well. So, when he recently suggested driving a good deal out of the way in order to sample their food for a takeout dinner, I still agreed. As he drove, I called to place our order for a large family gathering, and the woman on the phone did not miss a beat. She captured all of our requested items and customizations, ensuring that our meal arrived as expected. I should note that Zula required pre-payment for large orders to make sure that the food was collected. Agreeing to the lengthy excursion was not without its challenges, namely having to drive back with the heavenly food smells tantalizing us throughout the entire journey. When we arrived back at the house, other folks were still chatting, but I tore into the bag and tried to hand out the meals as quickly as I could in order to then indulge myself. My Chicken Breast Platter included the choice of two side dishes, one pita, and a small cup of tahini. In terms of the poultry, the two breasts were on the smaller size, but were lean, thinly-sliced, well-grilled, and flavorful. For the first side dish, I had the Israeli Salad, which was fresh, bright, and, thankfully, not too oniony. Secondly, the Moroccan carrots were a bit oily, but offered a nice heat and spice level. The fluffy pita was soft, gooey, and melt in your mouth tasty. In terms of the tahini, I opted for the standard variety, rather than the tahini amba with pickled mango. The traditional version was rich, thick, and acted as a great topping for the chicken and the pita. Lastly, I shared some of the large quart of Hummus, which was creamy, well-seasoned, and simply delicious. In fact, someone at the table thought it might have even been the best they had ever had, and I agree that it was certainly close! Everyone adored their menu items from Zula Grill, and we all agreed that we would definitely order from there again.

The menu is tantalizing and there's plenty of familiar favorites along with a few new-to-me items that the server readily described when I asked questions. This time, I tried the pargiot sandwich. I had no previous conception of 'pargiot' but another reviewer had sung praises about this wonderfully marinated chicken thigh meat. Having tried it, I'm not convinced it's blow-your-mind good, but it was decently flavorful and tender. You can customize the salad type that goes in your sandwich, and I chose the Israeli salad, a blend of tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. Mine felt a touch overstuffed since it was harder to taste the chicken and made my pita soggy quicker than I would have thought, but it's hard for me to ding points for generous servings. Our server checked in on us regularly and even thought to inquire about any sesame allergies before setting down the tahini dip that comes with the welcome platter of bread. As the restaurant got full and our visit came up against a reservation, I appreciated how respectfully he asked for the table. Speaking of reservations, it might be a good idea to make one for your visit, especially if you're thinking of coming for dinner. My friend and I came on a random Tuesday afternoon and this space completely filled up. There are also some outside tables available for possible spillover seating, but if your heart is set on coming here, call ahead. Parking in Englewood is always tough, especially come mealtimes because there are so many restaurants here. Make sure you come laden with quarters for the older parking meters or have the ParkMobile app ready for the spots that allow mobile payment.

Worst experience ever…read more We placed an order through Uber Eats, and apparently the restaurant gave our food to the wrong driver. When our actual driver arrived, there was no food left to pick up. Instead of taking responsibility or trying to fix the situation, the restaurant blamed us and told us we would have to place ANOTHER order so they could get paid again. How is it the customer's responsibility when the restaurant handed the order to the wrong person? We asked to speak with a manager and were told there was no manager available. We asked them to contact Uber Eats, and they claimed they had no way to contact Uber either. Meanwhile, my wife is 9 months pregnant, we're waiting for our dinner, and instead of showing even a little understanding or trying to find a solution, they basically told us to pay again for their mistake. Absolutely unacceptable customer service. Mistakes happen, but the way you handle them says everything about a business. We will not be ordering from here again.
