    It's a cute cafe with a nice area to dine in. They have good hummus and falafels!! Loved the falafel bowl that came with hummus and pita, pita was so soft and so tasty. I also tried the chicken bowl, the rice was great and the chicken too but I liked the falafels way more than chicken and also their hummus more than the rice. Ended with their banana bread, and it was so yum. The pecan cake was also so good!!

    Lamb Meatball Shakshuka

    Just a heads up- it's called something else. Like something bakery I forget. But WOW. That food was amazing! Felt somewhat healthy and fresh. I forgot about pictures the food looked so good. Sorry for the half eaten goodies but everything tasted amazing. I tried the lamb meatball shakshuka for the first time ever, very delicious. This place reminds me of a fancy middle eastern starbucks. It has drinks, to go food but also a sit down area that you can get served the food you order at the cash register. I would definitely go in again with some friends, it's a very casual, nice coffee shop vibe.

    Chose this restaurant from the many high reviews on Yelp. The reviews were correct and we had a casual and excellent meal at Mishmish. We dined here on Labor Day and although indoor dining had recently opened in NJ at 25% occupancy, there was only outdoor dining available. This was perfect as it was a pleasant evening and at the moment I am more comfortable with the outdoor dining option. Service was very good all night. Servers wore masks and gloves and the tables were set a good distance apart. The food was great also and the pita bread warm and the Hummus creamy. We enjoyed all our dishes but I especially liked the Lamb Meatball Shakshuka. This was packed with rich flavors and just tasted great. We would definitely go back to Mishmish and recommended when in Montclair.

    Healthy Mess Salad Lunch

    We were planning on going to Mesob (which is our fav place in Montclair) but they were closed for lunch so decided to come to Mishmish instead as per yelp and friends recommendation. We love love love this place, the ambience the service the food everything. We ordered garlic fries, falafel hummus bowl and healthy mess salad bowl and chicken shawarma bowl. The garlic fries were really fresh and amazing, the falafel bowl was so so good with fresh falafel, chickpea, cucumber and tomatoes sitting on a bed of freshly made hummus. Also the pita was warm and so so soft that you could eat it plain without anything. The salad bowl was very healthy and since this one had a yogurt based dressing was very creamy and not too many calories. I would definitely come back once they are open for business after this corona pandemic.

    Okay, finally tried Mishmish and have to say I'm very happy I did. What a great little spot in Montclair. On to the details... Location - a bit small but with enough accommodations to cycle through a crowd I feel due to how quick the service is. Parking is kinda tough though, but when isn't parking in Montclair tough? Service - these guys are great. They constantly checked on us to make sure everything was okay, made good suggestions on the food, and were quick. Food - man, gotta say I really liked my dish shakashura (did I spell it right?). All the flavors on my plate were just right, might be a bit strong for delicate palettes though (and if you have a delicate one, Mediterranean food might not be your best option). I couldn't get enough of the lamb sausages, and if I wasn't currently eating keto, I would've used the bread that came with my dish like a sponge to wipe up and eat at the stewed tomatoes! - the fried cauliflower was really good, liked the crunch on it, but could've used a bit more flavor in my opinion. - definitely need to come back for the salad, saw a few orders pass our table that made me absolutely envious! All in all, would definitely come back here!

    I've been wanting to come to Mish Mish for a long time and finally stopped in on a weekday afternoon for lunch. What was I waiting so long for? The menu had so many different options to choose from it was hard to select one option. The service was nice and attentive. On the specific day there was both indoor and outdoor seating and it was hard to decide which way to go. The inside was decorated very nice with different areas of seating to choose from. My friend and I both ordered from the lunch menu I got the shakshuka with lamb sausage and she got one of the hummus bowls. My meal was very tasty and very well-made but I fell in love with my friends meal a bit more. I can't wait to go back and try something else from the menu I would definitely return soon.

    Hummus, Turkish Cigars, and Fried Cauliflower.  A great start to our meal.

    My friend and I decided to spend our monthly eating extravaganza in Montclair. I had previously enjoyed lunch at Mishmish and new that it would be a great place to share some small plates. Upon being seated, they provide bread and some quality olive oil, worth the carbs for sure. We ordered hummus, fried cauliflower, and the cigars as the three parts of our appetizer sampler. The hummus is perfect texturally and flavorful, the cigars were impossibly crisp with a great filling, and the fried cauliflower was perfectly breaded and tender and very good in the dipping sauces. For a second course we selected the shakshuka with lamb merguez sausage. It featured two poached eggs, an ample portion of sausage, and a sauce you won't stop eating until you see the plate. The service was pleasant and professional and if we weren't looking to eat our way through Montclair we would have gladly stayed for more dishes. Certainly worth returning to. (Also worth noting, it's a BYOB)

    Smoked Eggplant Dip and fall hummus
    Su L.

    This was a pretty good Mediterranean cafe that we stumbled upon while we were in Montclair over the weekend. We came here for a late lunch, around 1:45pm, and were seated immediately at one of the outdoor tables on the sidewalk. We were brought glasses of water and menu right after we sat down. We were quite hungry, so we ordered two appetizers, the smoked eggplant dip, and the fall hummus, in addition to our mains. The eggplant dip was good, but it didn't quite taste like baba ghanoush, which is what I thought it was supposed to be. The fall hummus was similarly good, but it came with pieces of roasted squash on top, which I initially thought was going to be mashed and mixed in with the hummus. The accompanying pita was soft and fresh. Our main dishes were brought out shortly after. My husband said his chicken shawarma was great. My lamb merguez shakshuka was good as well, but there was a small piece of eggshell that was in there. The pieces of lamb were thick and flavorsome. Staff were really friendly and we had no complaints about service. Staff are wearing masks, and masks are required indoors as well. They have several tables available for outdoor dining.

    Chickpea and Mushroom Tajin
    Heather L.

    Fantastic Israeli-esque food in downtown Montclair. Really a 4.5/5 than a 4. After years of having this spot bookmarked, a friend and I grabbed an early dinner here. This place is small and gets packed fast so go early or make a reservation. The place is warm and cozy though may be a bit too cozy as we were on top of the table next to us. Service was good throughout (attentive but not like hovering) and they even provided some recommendations on the menu as my friend is a vegetarian. I got the chickpea and mushroom tajin over humus ($15) that came w/pita. Great combination of flavors with really authentic tasting humus. Vegan too which is a big plus. I also tried the labne tzatziki ($7) alongside which was also flavorful and fresh. I had plenty to take home as the portions are good size. My friend got the sabich which she LOVED alongside fries w/feta. The place does live up to the hype so I have to come back and try the brunch!

    Marcel Egg Burrito
    Ellen P.

    I had Marcel Egg Burrito, delicious flavors with a good combination of eggs, Turkey bacon and other tasty flavors in a wrap. Salad was extra bonus. My husband had the lamb kabob. Delicious flavors in a pita. Highly recommend, will return

    Fish Delish - Shrimp Tortilla

    Fish Delish

    (66 reviews)

    I try to be the Nate Silver of Yelp popularity statistics, analyzing and aggregating the metrics…read more Ordering the highest-ranked item at any new restaurant has a 94% success rate. But the awesome Fish Delish offers a slight conundrum as the fish-and-chips is a great choice but they're also crafting some other offerings that can't be found anywhere else. The salmon dog is great for the palate and for the 'gram. Even as someone who controversially extends the boundaries of what counts as hand food, I had to use a fork for this epic sandwich. The fish is great, as are the bells and whistles. Wasabi mayo is enticing but my favorite component was the smoked mozzarella.

    I've been wanting to try Fish Delish, and yesterday was the day! The casual restaurant is bright…read moreand inviting. I was very warmly greeted upon arrival. I tried the Clam Chowder, the Shrimp XL Truffle Sandwich, and Coleslaw. You order at the counter, and the food is brought to your table. The Chowder was tasty, and really hit the spot on a cold and dreary day. I would say that it needs more briny clam flavor. Still a solid soup. The star was my sandwich. Five plump, perfectly cooked shrimp are on a soft bun along with cucumber, arugula, grana padano cheese, and truffle sauce. This sandwich was divine! Truffle that you can actually taste, really elevated the flavor. This sandwich makes me want to try all of them. The coleslaw- which was a huge portion- was a perfect crispy, creamy side. Prices were very reasonable for the portion size and the quality. I cannot wait to go back for the lobster roll. Highly recommend
