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.

Let me tell you as first off that the Zalim Burger is absolutely delcious 8.5/10. I think this…read moreburger is one of best I've had in a while and would go just for this. The other option i got was butter chicken it was okay probably a 7.2/10 wasn't anything over the top, im indian so I've had a lot of butter chicken in my life and I know when it stands out. The fries are frozen fries which aren't anything unique like a 5/10 they should get some curly fries or waffle fries just a thought for them to stand out more. The people and atmosphere are great so for customer service and everything overall is top notch. Just a few thoughts tho from my experience.

Wow. They really do deliver "ruthless" flavor combo as their in-store mural would suggest. My wife…read moreordered the Nashville chicken sandwich with fries and I did the same in rice platter version and they were legit! 1. ATMOSPHERE (5/5) - Clean, no non-sense vibe that leans utilitarian but hey, you're here for quick bite! 2. FOOD (5/5) - Chicken was juicy, well-seasoned (not too salty!) with right amount of heat (I ordered medium spicy and taste was bolder and better vs. wife's mild which felt a bit bland) and their pickle gave a nice counterbalance. Fries were slightly "old" but full of potato flavor with that peanut oil, and the rice, the RICE in my bowl... together with the mild coleslaw (not too sweet, heavy-sauced, or acidic) was just... making symphony in my mouth. It was seriously delicious... rice... like what?! It had like that subtle halal flavor, gentle bite, and carried sauce well. So while I thought I'd never say this, I enjoyed the rice platter version of the Nashville hot chicken over the sandwich version. Sandwich version was ever so slightly dry in comparison as well. 3. SERVICE (4/5) - Only docking point because it took a bit long (15 min) for this type of food, but my man at the counter was very nice and hooked me up with free soda. He also mentioned royalty program which I misheard as telling me to pick any beverage (wife told me later), which was a nice touch. (Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude!) All in all with leftover to spare for next lunch, this was a surprisingly great meal. I'll definitely be back to try the smashed burgers! I never knew they were here though the guy told me they've been here for a few years at least... Well, now I know! Show Zalim some love ya'll and enjoy some GREAT Nashville hot chicken RICE BOWL and sando!

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.

Red can't have the onions and the attendant faithfully picked out the meat and packed her gyro to the hilt, and then a couple of generous scoops on mine. We both ask for some white sauce.

The sandwich is so full we need the provided forks to pick up all the meat that falls out. There is just no easy way to eat it, and that is what makes it great. Fair price for a full sandwich. It's my fault I didn't get ketchup and other sauces to enhance the flavor. Definitely worth a try. I look forward to returning.

Top tier customer service!…read more Ordered online ahead of time and food was ready on-time and well packaged. Had their food once before but this was first time going to pick up food myself. Place was bustling on a weekday afternoon. Most pick up experiences are pretty mundane and not memorable, you get your food and go. However, the staff who serviced my order was so gracious that I was honestly taken aback - I had never been treated so special for such a quick interaction with just a few kind words. All this to say that the smallest moments do make a big difference in the food space and because of this staff, Fluffies has earned my deep loyalty. I did not get his name but if he ever gets a chance to read the reviews, I know he would know it's him, I hope he has a good day and gets a raise, for real. It's very rare to get this type of service anymore. Thank you.

They're open late-ish and the dining room has a throwback 1990s KFC feel. The chicken is always orange, fried crisp, and sort of flavorless. But the texture is right, and hits the spot on a late night. The fries are nothing to scream about and I honestly haven't tried any of the other sides. The service is also as expected. Not particularly 'nice' but not disgruntled either. One night I went somewhat late, around 10:30. The didn't have the chicken pieces I wanted, so made them specifically for me. As per chicken spot standard, the place does look a little run down and dated. It feels like they could stand to run a mop across the floor, or slap some new paint on the walls, but that's aesthetics.
