If you are going to charge me more by being fancy, You had better be fancy and good. Fortunately Aspendo's delivers. * * * I was there on an academic lunch with an exciting scholar. That kind of thing can happen in a restaurant next to the Princeton campus. This is one of the dangers of eating in a college town. So most of my observational powers and intellectual energy were turned towards general issues of demographic processes and global welfare and the way that these could be re-positioned in the social sciences. There was elaborate stuff going into my mouth. I was paying more attention to the elaborate stuff going into my ears. What was going into my mouth seemed overly fussy for what it was. But it was not unpleasant. * * * Had the agenda been a romantic evening, There been a bottle of wine on the table and The goal being to make the dinner last forever, Elaborate interesting dishes could have been welcome. So this place has its uses.

My Albanian wife and I loved our lunch experience here. It was our first time…read more They had a special hummus with ground lamb appetizer. The ground lamb didn't overpower the already expertly executed hummus and added fantastic depth and richness. We also sprung for the grilled calamari tubes and the chef did a great job of not overcooking while achieving an excellent char. We shared the baked cod and the spice was delicate and perfect. Using cured lemon was a very clever idea as the sauce was not too strong but still had depth; the saffron and turmeric were well balanced. The fish itself was NOT overcooked and flaked perfectly. The vegetables were also executed well and cooked so they could be eaten with the same bite. The star of the show was still the cook on the fish with the wonderful sauce. The sever gave us some Moroccan mint tea which was also wonderful. We will be making the drive from the Maine Line to just to dine here again.

We chose the spot since it happen the be the "midpoint" between where my friend and I live. The service was friendly. The menu is has limited options; think Chipotle style create your own bowl, pita or platter. I ordered a chicken gyro wrap and my friend went with the falafel bowl. The chicken was very good, however, I wish they had warmed up the pita. A cold pita made the sandwich slightly less appealing. I also tasted my friend's falafel bowl. Overall, the falafel was good. The prices seemed high for what you get. We sat at the small outside seating area, since its in a corporate park, people were coming and going a bit. Midpoint is a decent place to stop by if in the area.

My partner and I went to Village Mediterranean one evening after our Costco run. I've been there…read moreplenty of times when it was being run by the previous owners and I knew it was a solid bet. I wasn't sure what to expect when I realized there was a new owner. We were tired and hungry so decided to stay. We were the only ones there and asked if we could eat in. A gentleman walked over to the register and replied of course. If you guessed he was the new owner, you'd be correct. He ended up serving us, and because I've somehow grown up to be that person who talks to the people, I asked a lot of questions. I'm sorry o don't remember his name, but he was very genuine and gracious. He's been redoing the restaurant gradually himself, while also cooking and doing all the other tasks necessary to run a new restaurant. Onto the food. We ordered a lot of it and it was all delicious. Fresh, seasoned well, and exactly as described in the menu. We started with some dips served with fresh pita and the dolmades. I then had the chicken gyro while my partner enjoyed the chicken shawarma platter. We opted for the Greek fries and the Greek potatoes as our sides. Suffice it to say we were eating of each other's plates. The flavors were bright and tasty. The potatoes were really out of this world. I really enjoyed my gyro, but the chicken shawarma seasoning was spectacular! The restaurant itself is also very welcoming with art by local artists on the wall, and for sale. We hadn't saved room for dessert, but the owner explained each one to us when I asked about the differences. Bottom line is that we will definitely be back again!

Not only was the color / presentation top notch, but the taste nicely complimented the meat. In addition to our wraps, we opted for the falafel bites. There are 4 generous pieces with a nice portion of hummus in the middle. The spicy sauce has quite the kick! We enjoyed an authentic Turkish lime iced tea drink. Loved selecting from the imported drinks- gives it a foreign and fun feel. My favorite was the ambiance and Turkish music. The booths are set in chic cages and it feels like you have more privacy. The servers also bring the meal to your table- added plus for a mall food establishment. My only critique is the price. It is reasonable, but I expected a larger portion for the price charged. If it was a buck or two cheaper, I think the size of the wrap would match the cost. Because of this, I'd rank it a 4.5 / 5 stars. Overall, wonderful spot. Highly recommend!

I'm used to Palestinian style middle eastern food growing up northeast NJ so I was a bit skeptical it was as good as the norm, but I have to admit... I found my new favorite spot.

Food was fresh and delicious; attentive and timely service-wise, too. Ordering delivery was a bit of a different story. Ordered two gyros and neither had tzatziki which was very disappointing. Tzatziki is what we live for and the shining star of a gyro--how do you forget that not once but twice?! Then there were the very greasy and droopy fries. Yes, fries are delicate travelers but these were hopeless. And at a $9(!!) price point, they should really find another way of transporting them to customers. Last, the lentil soup was not prepared well. It was bland and overly thick than many others I have eaten before by other chefs. All in all, not terrible but rather a bad lasting impression. Don't think we'll be returning.
