Cheese Roll
Lindsay S.

There are so many positives to talk about when it comes to this restaurant. Frankly, I went back-and-forth on whether or not to get this place a four or five star rating. I love this restaurant and continue to go there after many years. The food is always delicious and the servers are always nice. However, expect to spend a bit of time there because the service is rather slow, and although the waiters and waitresses are extremely friendly, they are not the easiest to track down to your table. Other than that, and the fact that you can only order gyro after certain times on certain days... this restaurant is a five star experience. It's beautifully decorated, it can get a little loud, but it honestly feels like part of the experience.

We had a magnificent lunch at Mado on River Edge, New Jersey to celebrate my friend's 60th birthday. The interior of this restaurant is beautiful. Our server was attentive to all of our needs. We realized that they have lunch specials for $22 each in which you receive a Shepard's salad, an appetizer and a main course with a drink and delicious bread. There were many different options to choose from, but I decided upon the Shepard's salad, stuffed grape leaves and the chicken kebab with rice. We were served an absolute ton of delicious savory food. The chicken was perfectly seasoned! We ended up having a birthday tartufo with sparklers on top to celebrate my friend's birthday. It was a great lunch and I would highly recommend going to Mado's particularly at lunchtime for their $22 special.

The food, service, and ambience were all a treat. We had the muhamarra, lamb manti, mixed pide and halva ice cream--all delicious and satisfying. Our servers were attentive, and helpful with any questions and requests. The actual restaurant is so spacious and elegantly decorated. I love all the artwork and unique touches. I was particularly glad to enjoy it in spring when they have so many floral, fauna, and vibrant fruit accents. I look forward to coming back to Mado for more memorable meals.

The restaurant is easily located on Kinderkamack Rd River Edge with handicapped parking in front and ample parking around back. The restaurant is pretty inside with a bright and clean Mediterranean feel. The service was exceptional, quick and professional. The food was plentiful and delicious. We started with an assortment of dips served with a plateful of very light and warm pita, dynamite shrimp and an amazing chopped Greek salad. Several of us opted for the Bronzino, and a couple had kabobs. We ended with a bite of baklava and coffee/tea. The prices are reasonable and food plentiful and we had left overs to go! Definitely heading back to Mado!

Mado has been one of my go to places for amazing authentic Armenian cuisine. This place has been highly recommended by my in-laws and after going multiple times I've finally came around to writing a review. The restaurant is huge on the inside great for bringing friends and family. We've had parties here with up to 20+ people and they were able to accommodate. The food is always epic and I highly recommend the chicken shish kebab. The chicken kebab is by far the most tender chicken I've ever had. This place has always been a treat to go to when craving Armenian food.

Calamari

Exceeded my expectations! Been wanting to try here for a long time and finally got over here for a celebration dinner. Wonderful food and great service! Fresh bread - so light and warm! Calamari - tasty Baked eggplant with yogurt - yum!! Tilapia - huge portion. So delicious. Shepherds salad - wow! Must try!! Kunefe - amazing baked cheese dessert!

What a hidden gem! Great service and delicious meal! We loved having an early dinner around 5:30p Saturday night. Definitely got packed by 6:30p. No reservations though. We loved the appetizer we got. Cheese rolls were fresh and hot. I thought the cheese was a little salty but my hubby loved it. The dinner meals were great. We ordered Adana kebab and lamb shish with gyro platters. Both were fantastic. The sauce was amazing as well. All in all we were very happy with finding this place. The dessert was also amazing. We got the milk pudding to share. Will return!

Our second visit in couple of months. Everything was so good. Fluffy soft bread, amazing chunky liver, crispy calamari and amazing adana with yogurt. The baklava was a perfect sweet finish to meal. The restaurant had lovely Christmas decorations including a huge tree. Service was excellent.

I ordered take out and spend almost $100. Food was good. The lamb chops needed salt and pepper and…read morewere quite small. It comes, 3 lamb chops with a small amount of rice and a salad. 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.

The menu had a variety of dishes like appetizers, soups, gyro, kebabs, pasta, pizzas, seafood, wraps and sandwiches. In drinks section, they had the Turkish coffee and tea. We started with their complementary bread, so fluffy and light, we pretty ate the whole thing before any of our dishes came. I ordered my favorite fried liver cubes from the hot apps section, and it was fantastic. It was full of flavor, perfectly sized cubes and properly fried. Tasted so good with the complimentary bread (we requested a second one). For entree we ordered the Mix Grill and Karisik Izgara as it was a perfectly sharable dish for two and we got to try 5 of their kebabs that are lamb shish, ground lamb, chicken shish, ground chicken and grilled meat patties. Both ground kebabs were excellent, full of flavors. The shish and patties were also good. We got the margarita pizza too, but that one was disappointed, seemed like some sauce was just thrown on top of the cheese and wasn't baked long enough. Our server was really friendly. She always stayed on top of things. Our dishes came out in quick time, it was impressive. Despite the shortcoming of the pizza, which is not usually a Turkish dish, I was thoroughly impressed by the actually Turkish dishes, like liver cubes and kebabs. I'll for sure visit them again whenever I feel like having kebabs next time

Tried Lulu for the first time on Saturday. Excellent experience…read more It was right before the staff showed up for dinner service, so only a couple of tables were occupied. The menu is simple, but covers everything we love. Server came by with warm, fresh, fluffy seasoned pita and a dish of seasoned olive oil. Great start. Started with Cheese Borek and Fried Liver cubes -- The Borek was the best we have had and we order that anytime we dine Mediterrean. The 4 Borek were fat, fried to perfection, and their filling of Feta and spinach was hot, melty and super tasty. We love love Fried Liver, and Lulu does it to perfection. The portion was huge, and dressed with red onion and lemon juice, it sang. We decided to split an order of Manti, those delightful tiny lamb dumplings tossed with burnt butter and garlic yogurt -- holy holy. We ran some liver around that sauce, and were glad we saved some of the bread to sop everything up. So good. Ordered the Kunefe, as we always do. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the table -- so if you are thinking about it, order it before they take your dinner plates away. The Kunefe was good. We think they forgot to add to the syrup it comes in -- but maybe that's the way they do it. It won't disappoint, but I missed that rosewater sugar syrup we are used to. Different places, different recipes. In all, Lulu did not disappoint and we look forward to visiting again. Go, go go. And tip your servers well.

They have a section for hookah and belly dancing entertainment with a live DJ but we sat more intimately inside. Very nice staff, food took a minute to come out but reasonable.

Read about this place, wanted to try it, and today we were in town for a wedding and needed lunch…read more Ta-DAAAH! I had in my mind a superior dining experience in Israel, a similar schnitzel-in-pita storefront in Hod HaSharon. There, because it's Israel, every aspect was superior: fresh, crispy, assortment of salads, and super fast. I was hoping for something similar here. Orange and chrome mid-century modern decor. Simple menu. Good service. Clean. Super impressed at first glance. I got schnitzel in pita, spouse got same in laffa bread, daughter got schawarma in laffa. All delicious and fresh. Service was friendly. It took a few minutes to get our order and they were not particularly busy, luckily we were not in a rush. Once the food came, it was worth the short wait! Bottom line: it's not Hod HaSharon, but pretty darn good for Teaneck! Would definitely return here! The only negative is that parking seems to be an issue. We visited this restaurant at 12 noon on a Sunday and it was impossible to park. I don't know where the people in all these cars were shopping, I sure didn't see a high amount of foot traffic. I have a feeling people just parked and left their cars, maybe attending an event elsewhere. So if you visit: plan time to park and walk!

Both appetizers were excellent! The wings are hot and crispy. While the shish kebob was also really tasty, it has an elongated appearance that looks similar to a specific body part (hence the main reason for a lower appearance rating). While I was apprehensive about trying lamb, the green eggs & ham situation came into effect! As soon as I took my first bite, I was hooked as I devoured that platter! The shawarma sauce is really creamy and it goes with anything and everything! You can either have it on the side or on top of your meal. Some of the dishes, such as the chicken tikka and shish kebob, are cooked on the grill and it will take a few minutes longer. But it's definitely worth the wait! All in all, these Halal entrees are fantastic. The portion sizes are really large; in most cases, one serving will feed 2 parties. As I mentioned in previous reviews, come with an open mind and never judge a book by its cover. #dumontnj #gyroking #halal #shishkebob #chickentikka #shawarma #njfoodie #lamb #lambriceplatter #chickentikkaplatter
