    Really good food, large portions, friendly wait staff... What more could you want? I went with a group of 6 for lunch on a Sunday. Luckily they were able to seat us immediately. A few other tables were occupied by large groups as well. This is my second time trying Turkish food so I'm obviously not an expert, but everything we ordered was delicious and I would get it again. One of the friends I was with used to live in Turkey for a few years and knows the language/cuisine very well so he ordered for our entire table and we shared everything family style. We got 2 shepherd salads, a mix dip platter with babaganoush and 2 other appetizers (I don't remember which ones), 2 Saray Mix Grills, and a side of fries. This was wayyyy more than enough for our group of 6... we probably could've gotten away with just ordering 1 mix grill to be honest. I took home some of the leftovers and it was just as good as when it was freshly made! If you're craving Turkish food, try out Saray Cuisine!

    Octopus
    Frances U.

    This is my second time coming here and I remember having a better experience during my first visut. Must be a factor of the food we order. Octopus was supposed to be a hot appetizer but the octopus itself was cold when served. Mixed platter is tasted dry - my favorite in the platter is the adana kebab. I probably should have ordered tzatziki as a dip to complement the platter. I haven't tried their desserts but it looks delicious! Will try them next time we come back. Free parking is available right outside the establishment. Service is great, they are attentive and always pleasant across the board. There's ample seating and generous spacing in between.

    Appetizer cold platter
    Disha S.

    Great customer service, lots of seating space, and delicious food! Everything was made to order. Burrata salad was okay, however the cold appetizer were delicious especially the ezme and falafel were so crispy and vegetables so fresh! Ordered baklava and Turkish custard- loved the Turkish salad. Tasted like crème brûlée but custard form Would highly recommend!

    Menemen
    Alan S.

    Excellent Turkish breakfast worth the long bike ride to get here. Our favorites in the kahvaltı were the delicious crema and honey, the fluffy poğaça, peppery menemen, and of course unlimited çay. My guess is the owners here hail from Trabzon given the menu's inclusion of kuymak (which I'll be back to try) and hamsı tava. If only the view from the outside seating were of the Bosphorus and not suburban Cliffside Park!

    I've been to @saraycuisinenj many times for dinner but have you ever tried Turkish Breakfast? Me neither until yesterday! Wow what a spread of goodies! I didn't know what to expect but we were blown away by the quality of the food and the variety of Turkish breakfast foods @saraycuisinenj has to offer. Turkish breakfast has everything from savory to sweet but the key is to get Turkish coffee and fresh squeezed OJ to wash it all down. 10/10 would recommend! Have you ever had traditional Turkish Iskender? @saraycuisinenj makes it the best with layers of gyro, fried bread with butter and light tomato sauce served with yogurt. @saraycuisinenj is one of the best Turkish restaurants in the Tristate area! They serve traditional Turkish breakfast, lunch and dinner with a homemade touch! They are also BYOB and the service is amazing. I love their indoor outdoor patio that is heated! Insta: @thehungrysw

    Babaganoush
    Christine G.

    What a great Turkish restaurant! I'm sad I found this place so late. Their outdoor patio is a great option during the pandemic. We felt comfortable the whole time and service was on point. The manager was constantly around checking in on customers. Food was delicious and everything was seasoned perfectly. The meats grilled well with great char and stayed juicy. Byob available and Turkish tea and coffee available with scrumptious desserts. I can't wait to go back before the cold weather sets in. Keep them in mind for outdoor dining and a delicious meal.

    Saray Mix Grill
    Kevin W.

    Great overall experience across the board. Not sure about the odd 1 star review with the comments on the portions. From what I experienced myself, one thing I'd say is there is absolutely no issue with the portioning whatsoever relative to the price you pay. The price to value ratio here is definitely not nearly as challenging as some other similar restaurants I've dined at in the area. We decided to go all out and try the Saray Mix Grill. The chicken shishkabob, meatballs, chicken adana and lamb were all extremely tasty. No sauce needed here as the meats were extremely tender, flavorful and paired nicely with the rice and bulgar. For $38 you can pretty easily feed 2-4 people with this giant plate (depending on your appetite), which is a pretty solid deal IMO. The stuffed grape leaves appetizer was also delicious, fresh and light. The grape leaves themselves were a highlight of this dish. The babaganoush appetizer was also immense and had a refreshingly light texture. It pairs nicely with their excellent bread. On top of the great food, the service was also top notch. The staff was extremely friendly, highly attentive and really went above and beyond to keep folks happy. Masks were always on and they were very considerate of spacing in the outdoor dining area - which had ample distance between tables and was also situated in a nice, relaxing atmosphere. I can see why this place was pretty busy even on Sunday morning. They are one of the few Turkish places that open early (before 11am or noon), which is great for early risers and families looking for an early lunch or breakfast options. The manager here was very kind and definitely seems to care a lot about the customers. No doubt I'll be back here again. The comfortable environment, safety protocols, reasonable prices and great food makes it a great choice for folks looking for dining options in the current environment.

    Hamsi Tava
    Selena Y.

    Delicious Turkish food! I love the ambiance here - the restaurant is spacious and filled with simple yet beautiful Turkish decor, making this spot feel both casual yet also refined. For lunch, I shared the off-menu item Hamsi Tava (fried anchovies, freshly imported from Turkey), the Adana Kebab (minced lamb skewer), and the Turkish milk pudding. Everything was so flavorful! The anchovies were lightly battered and fried in olive oil; I loved how the dish didn't feel heavy or greasy at all. The kebab was juicy, aromatic, and wonderfully seasoned. And although I was ridiculously full by the time dessert came around, I still managed to enjoy and finish all of the Turkish pudding. Can't wait to come back to try more dishes. And on the plus side, there's parking right outside the restaurant!

    Unlike few other reviews here about the management, this review is regarding the food itself. I didn't experience the management and their racism/rudeness when I was there. Now, first thing is first. They charge you $1.75 for a bottle of water and they don't offer tap water either. We ordered the lunch menu and the lentil soup was quite good. This set us to be excited about the meal. 1. Falafel, as an appetizer, was burnt and tasteless. It comes with humus when the menu says tahini sauce. What? 2. Entrée, both chicken shish and gyro, were underseasoned. Same thing with the onion on the side, very dull. 3. Rice, no taste. Q. Would you go back? A. It was too dull for me, so I don't think so.

    This guy has been giving me issues for so years ! asked for a simple special request to modify my Saray Breakfast Plate!   UNREAL !

    Ordered: 3 Mixed Appetizers (~$19): hummus, babagannush,…read moremuhammara Mixed Kebab Platter for Two (~$55): combination of lamb shish kebab, lamb adana kebab, chicken shish kebab, chicken adena kebab, and lamb meatball; served with rice, bulgur, and plain salad Aya's take: There are a number of Turkish restaurants in Cliffside Park and we found ourselves at Cinar for dinner. It was 5pm on a slow Monday so we were seated right away. The interior is cozy, quiet, and clean. We started with 3 Mixed Appetizers along with their complimentary warm bread. The 3 dips were all solid but nothing out of the ordinary. Good flavor, smooth & creamy texture, and great for sharing. I love ordering dishes like the Mixed Kebab Platter for Two as we get a taste of everything and it's family-style. The presentation was beautiful, the meats were tender, and I like that they paired it with rice, bulgur, and some salad. All the meats were tender and well-seasoned but could've been hotter in temperature. I particularly enjoyed the chicken & lamb adana kebabs. My other minor complaint was the sides were not enough to share and the ratio compared to the meats was off. We definitely could've used more rice with the meats. The staff were super kind & friendly the entire time. Decent try overall!

    We went there with my friends-spontaneously and really enjoyed the food. The karnıyarık had a super…read moreauthentic, traditional taste--so yummy! The only thing is, as Turkish people, we would have liked the portion to be a little bigger The ambiance is cool, but the servers forgot a few times to bring us water. Still, overall it was a great experience!

Velvety with great mouth feel and lovely smokiness this was so good w/ their table bread Turkish Ravioli (Manti) (APP, 3/5) - Chewy little nuggets w. yogurt filling, it was pretty enjoyable though my colleague gave ma "Meh" since she makes them at home and probably has high bar. It was good for maybe the first 3 or 4, so perhaps better ordered for larger groups. Shepherd Salad (APP, 4/5) - Fresh, bright(as in vinegar), and herbaceous, we added feta cheese to it and it was perfect balance to our entree. Kofte Kebab (MAIN, 4/5) - Not too dry with packed flavor of all the herbs & beef, I really enjoyed my dish. Went great with all the other accouterments such as slightly cinged wedge of tomato and onion slices, all frolicking on a bed of warm rice that had a nice bite. Adana Kebap (MAIN, 4/5) - My colleague had this one, and I tried a piece. It was juicy and had no hint of gaminess which is always a plus for lamb. 3. Service (3/5) - This being a mom & pop store, I think they're short on staff. Usually they're all in the back cooking, so you do need to be a bit patient to flag someone down. But I'm sure they're more attentive during busy hours. (We went during weekday) Overall, Hakki Baba is a solid turkish mom & pop shop that delivers on great authentic flavor at a reasonable price. In the sea of turkish restaurants in Cliffside Park area, this one is one of my favorite. Pay them a visit!
