    Really great spot , it's pretty casual and not very expensive . However the food is amazing , portions are generous , and the price is very reasonable . They have excellent Mediterranean food and the servers are very attentive / pleasant . It's a smaller place , easily missed but definitely worth coming to !

    Tahini Salad
    Marta T.

    Overall an okay meal, but nothing that to shout about. The garlic butter is way too garlicky. The chicken was soft but needed more flavor. Just ok. The service was good, but the lighting in the place could use a dimmer.

    Great home made taste. Small dining room, and a large take out business. Ordered the Rose's mixed plate, lamb, steak and rice. I would east there again next time I am in town.

    Mixed Grill Combination
    Steph C.

    Parking was a but confusing how to enter. There was literally just two tables occupied and the service was terrible. Received on the house pita bread. Wanted to order hummus but the waiter took forever to come to table, we ended up finishing the bread. We all ordered the Mixed Grill Combination (kufta kabob, shish tawook, & shish kabob) . Small portions compared to other restaurants i've been too. The food was mediocre. I wont be returning.

    Went here , after looking at google reviews but wasn't impressed much. Firstly , there is construction in the front and no parking space . Had to go around and park elsewhere . The location isn't really friendly. Secondly, the waiter - no smile and doesn't come to u asking if u need anything . Had to call him thrice for hot sauce and yeah - they don't have hot sauce he also got our order wrong ordered Sheek kabab and he got us some chicken stuff.. Coming to food - it was good and decent portions but very bland . No spice at all. That's why we wanted spicy sauce but we had to just eat sweet chicken hummus tasted really good and the eggplant stuff was good too.. price wasn't cheap but wasn't too expensive too . Overall a very average experience

    Yearning for Middle Eastern food than then look no further. The restaurant is an oasis, peaceful and immaculately clean. Arabic music played on the sound system low enough to have comfortable conversation. The dining room glowed from the sunshine filtering in. The TVs were off and really unnecessary. Our server was super sweet, warm and funny. Definitely made us feel at home and never kept us waiting. Now as for the cuisine, it was delish! Authentic Lebanese cuisine and so savory that you are guaranteed to finish it all (and the portions are generous). The spreads are incredible, especially the Toum (lookout though it is VERY garlicky). My absolute favorite was the Kufta with Tahini however the Shish Tawook Platter was out of this world! To my absolute delight they prepare orders for pickup! I am truly looking forward to returning soon. Parking is tricky because of their location...but you'll figure it out.

    Foul Madamnes. Excellent.

    I was here a long time ago originally and I had a bad experience due to the air conditioner there not working but with Covid, I figured I might as well try it as I could eat at home. I was glad I did. Sure there are cheaper places in Paterson and related before the area the prices for the portions wasn't bad at all and the food over always excellent. Food was ordered for 3 and there was enough for leftovers. Along with the dishes ordered, they also gave us a rather large serving of pita as well as the usual spicy pickled turnips and olives you tend to find at Lebanese places along of a couple extra sauces. Appetizers: Foul Madammes: Fava beans w/lemon, garlic, and olive oil. Also spelled Ful medames, this is a hearty appetizer found that a lot of Arabic places (primarily Egyptian.) The large version here had a nice amount of garlic. Spinach pie (Fatayer?): Chopped spinach w/onions in pastry shell. There was a nice sour flavor in there also along with the spinach though I found the pastry a bit under cooked compared to other places. Still good Mains: Kabob Halaby: Spicy broiled kabob served over grilled tomatoes and onions. I ordered this as my main. It was quite a large portion and the meat (lamb and beef mixed I guess but I'm unsure) was very tender. The spiciest thing in here was the pita bread (spiced ma'noushe?) on top which was delicious. The meat which had more of the spicy sauce on it was on top of rice which was cooked fine. Overall the dish was excellent and worth it for the price One of the other two people got a chicken kebab wrap which was pretty large. I tried the chicken which was good. The other person had a beef shish kebab platter which was also well portioned. The beef was nicely tender as well. Luckily for me, this place has my favorite Middle Eastern dessert, knafeh. Knafeh (which is spelled Knefe, Kanafa, and a bunch of different ways depending on surrounding area is cheese topped with semolina (or shredded phyllo dough in most Turkish places) along with honey and rose or orange blossom syrup as well as some crushed pistachios. I opened it up and recognized something very familiar due to the smell/vivid color. I would almost bet money that they buy theirs from someplace in Paterson (Most likely Nablus, Nayef, or Al Basha judging by quality) and to be honest I'm perfectly fine with that. Overall the place was excellent and I would go back at least to get takeout.

    Teribali Tawook lunch $12.50
    Stefan H.

    So here's my first experience at Rosa's place! I arrive at 11:35 a.m. on Friday the 13th and place an order for seven lunch platters. I walk out with my food at 12:25 p.m.! 50 minutes to get a small order prepared is longer than I would ever spend anywhere, and I think way too long for anyone that have to spend waiting for food. The fellow at the counter, who seemed to speak next to no English, said " we're busy ". Now on to the food! So liking spicy food, I ordered the Teribali Tawook for myself. I'm thinking it's going to be some nicely marinated spicy chicken. What I get is a piece of unseasoned grilled chicken with some completely tasteless and non-spicy sauce smeared on top! It's a decent size piece of chicken, maybe 6 oz, it's grilled, but dry and basically tasteless! The hummus was fine, and the salad that came with it somewhat bitter. I'll give Rose's another try in the future. If you haven't been, check it out!

    Falafel & French Fries with Garlic and Cilantro
    Catherine V.

    Decided to try all the Lebanese/middle eastern restaurants I can find within the last month or two. Sadly, Rose's Place was the least enticing. The falafels were immensely dry and the dipping sauce was lacking flavor. The Lebneh dip was mediocre but the fries were DELICIOUS. If you're looking for a good fries spot, this is it. Other than that, everything else was less than mediocre and dry. Informed a few others about this location and they agreed that this was NOT the spot for good Middle Easter food.

    The tahini salad was very good. Combination of tomatoes and cucumbers in a tahini yogurt dressing. The mixed grilled combo was awesome. Enough for two people. Comes with an amazing garlic sauce. Would definitely return to try other dishes.

    Taboulé salad
    Gino B.

    This ordinarily quaint and unassuming restaurant is located inside an old small house. It is hard to find but once you do, there is ample parking around the lot during off peak hours. We were seated immediately and the dining room was cozy and well lit. The Spanish speaking first waiter didn't understand English very well and he quickly stated that the waiter will be right there to help us At first glance, The menu appears very appetizing with Lebanese specialties. The second waiter came up to our table and while very efficient, lacked the courtesy, friendliness or desire to describe the menu when asked questions about ingredients or presentation. Clearly it is "you order, we serve" The starter labneh dip ($5.95) was fantastic, as was the halloumi type cheese stuffed in a grilled pita and cut in triangles ($5.95). Thé tabouli salad ($7.50) was nicely presented, however it lacked tomatoes (below the few diced morsels used as garnish) and lemon juice and it was on the tasteless side- it was mushy..:clearly; it wasn't assembled as you go but came in a previously prepared container; not good. I also indulged in a bowl of lentil soup (3.95) which tasted great, especially when I squeezed a few droplets from the wafer thin lemon wedge garnish, well done! The grape vine leaves ($7.50) appeared made on site but just like the taboulé, they are adequate and not fresh but better than the canned variety. With all this food, we decided to share a vegetarian main which consisted of diced eggplants with onions, tomatoes and garlic served with a fire grilled tomato wedge and vermicelli rice ($11.95). The waiter didn't describe the dish well, we didn't understand the small container of liquid sour cream that accompanied the plate, probably something no amount of Zantac, tums or pepto could appease if consumed as suggested. The presentation of the platter was great but the eggplant cubes tasted like they were deep fried in fish oil residue and emitted a disgusting nauseating smell, we didn't eat any of it We still decided to go for dessert and the piece of baked baklava ($3.50) appeared by its hot crust that it just came out of an oven, it was delicious and not too sweet; the milk custard ($3.50) came in a plastic Tupperware type container but was adequate tasting...nothing we would order again. Very nice touch when it came down to the hot tea; it didn't come in a kettle, but the clear glass contained a Lipton tea bag and at least 5 fresh mint leaves which gave the tea a very nice flavor. Rose's has a lot of potential for serving adequately priced good Lebanese dishes in this part of New Jersey. Sadly, the style of the "you order we serve" service cheapens the entire experience. The food is hit or miss but above average for some of the appetizers hence the three stars. #Tums #Pepto #Next

    Kufta Kabob Platter | $10.50
    Marissa N.

    The lunch special at Rose's Place are a great deal - Wraps and Fries ($6-8), Wraps and Salad ($7.50-9), and Platters from ($9.50-12.50). The platter, which includes rice, salad, and hummus, is a steal. Complimentary pita and pickled vegetables/olives were also served to the table. BYOB is the best part! However, the mains are average. I've been here a couple times and have had shish kabob, kufta, and shawarma. The shish kabob could have been more tender and the kufta, more flavorful. The shawarma was dry. I found myself enjoying the drippings-soaked, rice pilaf and fresh tomato/cucumber salad as much as the entree. Even the water was off. Unfortunately, there's just too many other Middle Eastern restaurants in the area to come back.

Whether it's a roast turkey with endless sides, spicy meat stew, a seafood extravaganza, or even no-frills Kentucky Fried Chicken, there's no holding back when the season for feasting rolls around. Located on busy Broadway in Elmwood Park, we decided on our Christmas Eve dinner at this family-owned establishment. The reservation was easily made via OpenTable. Upon arrival as first-timers, my partner and I were greeted by the owner at Taverna Mykonos and got a table for two right away in the corner where the tables are close to each other inside their cozy, very dim-lit, and elegant dining room with Christmas music playing throughout. There's a full bar with an extensive selection of Greek wines, with approximately 80% sourced from regions across Greece, as well as other excellent choices from California and Spain. The menu featured both authentic traditional Greek dishes along with many other options. The restaurant bakes all of its bread as well as its desserts. Traditionally, the meat of choice served during a Greek Christmas meal is lamb and pork. For starters, we decided to share Keftedes (Greek-style seasoned meatballs served with tzatziki dipping sauce). For our main meal, we opted for Baby Roasted Lamb with roasted potatoes and Lamb Shank with tomato orzo. Complimentary bread started our meal, and we washed it down with a sparkling spring water product of Greece. Complimentary cookies were given to each table at the end of the meal. The food was fresh, using quality ingredients, tasty, and well-presented. We enjoyed the keftedes very much, as they were moist and complemented well with the tzatziki dipping sauce. The portion was reasonable. However, we were disappointed with the Baby Roasted Lamb, as it was mostly bones with only some pieces of edible meat. Service is professional, friendly, and fast. The cost is comparable to the area. Exchanged a few words with the owner, George, about the old neighborhood in Astoria. Opa!
