A few months ago, I visited Greens and Grains in Northfield and I've been hooked ever since…read more Although Shrewsbury is not the closest to me, it's close enough that I've found myself making some drives down there to get my fix. My favorite thing that I like to get are their breakfast tacos. The tacos are filled with tofu scramble and topped with chili, a cheese-like sauce, and a slice of avocado. I don't know what it is, but I smash these tacos every single time I get them. They are so good! I honestly can't speak on much else because I get the same thing every time. Also, I buy one or two of their pressed juices. They make these in advance and are bottled. For the summer season, they have a juice that consists of strawberries, basil, beets, and more that is so very good. If you're looking for a place to get your vegan fix, this is the one.

From the moment I walked through the door, I knew this meal was going to be something special --…read moreand that feeling was confirmed the second I met Zavia. Her warm smile and effortless professionalism set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The food itself was outstanding, but what truly elevated the evening was Zavia's remarkable service. She has that rare ability to make you feel both completely taken care of and totally at ease. Every recommendation she made was spot‑on, and she delivered each dish with genuine enthusiasm, as if she were personally excited for me to try it.

We went to Simply Greek a couple times prior and loved the freshness of the food, the decor and the Owner and staff. On 12-13-25 we had the party and had 38 people attend The owner (Theo) really did such a great job in taking care of everything. The food was a 5 plus !!! Everything was made fresh - from the hummus and pita, Calamari, zucchini chips, Greek Salad (appetizers) to the entrees - Grilled Salmon, Chicken Souvlaki, , Grilled Lamb Chops and the Gyro platter. At least 20 people (or more) raved about the food. (If you are thinking about planning a party, you really should consider this great restaurant) The deserts and coffee (including the Greek Coffee) was a delicious ending to the meal. The staff, including Faith (the head waitress) was extremely friendly and attentive. We couldn't ask for better service !!! If you're not familiar with Pier Village, it is located on the beach in Long Branch. The area is beautiful as your guests can browse the many stores if they get there early or want to stay a little longer. Thanks again Theo for helping to make Lisa's party one that we will all remember. Regards, Rich & Lisa B - West Long Branch

We ordered falafel pita sandwiches and they were good. For dessert we ordered baklava and my rating is low because of this baklava.

Not sure if it's a one time thing but I wouldn't get it there again.

Very unfortunately on an extreme cold Tuesday night there was little or no heat in the seating. Albeit people still came and filled up the space. Might say that that shows people like it enough to bear the very cold eating experience. Mgmt apologized and stated there was a pipe issue that came up. Service was prompt and friendly. We only ordered rolls, not realizing there was a ramen special that night. Sushi was fresh and tasty, miso soup and salad were good portions.

Mixed feelings. I used to rave about Good Karma. In fact, when I was still living in NJ, I would go…read morethere regularly. Since moving to upstate NY four years ago, I only get to Good Karma when visiting family in NJ. During our latest trip we stopped at Good Karma to pick-up dinner on the way to my parent's house. We ordered the Love Bowl, Gado Gado Salad, and the Live Nachos. Issues: 1) The Gado Gada salad was a big miss. It's supposed to include lettuce, tofu, cabbage, carrots, roasted peanuts, and a sesame seed mix. There was ZERO sesame seed mix and literally ONE roasted peanut. We had asked the tofu be swapped for beans, which did happen, but basically all my wife got was a salad with lettuce and beans. 2) Live Nachos: what a HUGE disappointment. I've had these a number of times in the past and was really looking forward to these. One of my favorite parts has always been the creamy cashew sour cream. THIS TIME, there was one small dollop of the cashew cream. We basically paid $15 for a box of seasoned lettuce with 8 nacho chips -- not nearly enough chips to even eat with our seasoned lettuce. The Love Bowl, fortunately, was on par with my past experiences. However, the experience still left me questioning whether it's worth returning to Good Karma next time.

Service is very friendly and has a local feel. Menu is extensive with multiple vegan options. 1. Buffalo wrap - not much buffalo but was flavorful and lots of veggies. Filling still and delicious 2.

My husband and I stopped in to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had visited once before and…read morewe're very impressed with the food and enjoyed meeting the owner and chef. This time we tried the fava dish, lentil salad, rice pudding, sausage appetizer and falafel. Surprised and delighted with how light and crispy the falafel was! We learned Egyptian falafel is made with fava beans and not chickpeas. The sausage appetizer came with a very flavorful tomato sauce for dipping homemade pita bread. Hummus was also very creamy and delicious. The evening was rainy and cold so we were the only customers making it feel very cozy. The owner and chef was accommodating and shared memories of growing up in Egypt. We enjoyed our time very much. Food is a step above typical Mediterranean. ​ p.s. updated review to add pictures from our first visit. We fell in love with the mint tea, lentil salad, French fries, and pita wraps with tahini dressing.

If you're craving good Mexican food and are tired after swimming at the beach, stop by El Rancho…read moreand get your fix! This hidden restaurant is around a 12 min walk from the shore and neatly packed with long tables perfect for bigger parties (4 to 6 people). The few times I've been there, there had only been one waitress manning all the tables, but she does a good job of keeping tabs on everyone. I haven't had a chance to try their other items on the menu yet, mainly because I keep going back for the grilled chicken chimichanga. Let me just say, it is heavy, cheesy, saucy and satisfying! Especially given the refried beans, hot rice, sour cream and salad, this is a hefty plate. Each time I order, it ends up in the to go box, ready for another meal (and I can't say I'm upset about that :) ) that's all from me, ty for reading!

We finally made it back -- and it was just as good as we remembered! I had the carne asada, which was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly (so many places tend to overcook it until it's like cardboard, but not here). My wife ordered the chicken torta, generously layered with lettuce, crema, and all the right fixings. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The food is not only tasty but also reasonably priced, and the warm, cozy atmosphere paired with friendly service makes the experience even better. We're so glad we rediscovered this gem -- still a favorite after all these years!

The bowl gave us the perfect opportunity to try a little bit of it all. Staff member was friendly and did not skimp on toppings. We did 1/2 falafel and 1/2 mushrooms for the protein - both SO good. And the zesty feta is a must! The tahini milkshake was the icing on the cake...

I chose Pita bread - they spread 3 types of Hummuses (I chose Harissa, Tzatziki, and Zesty) with beans, spinach, Chicken Shawarma, toppings (Onions, cabbage, Beets, tomato, etc...), and dressing... you can choose whatever you want out of their spreads, proteins, toppings, hummus - it's cool...mind it- their hat sauce can be really hot. Sweet owners, helping you to choose cause let's accept it, it can be confusing sometimes. Yes, it was so messy while eating - but I loved it. On a busy day, there could be a cleanliness issue - just ignore it. they are trying their best. The portions are generous and very satisfying, and the menu is all very fresh and healthy. This is a great take-out spot that I recommend to everyone.
