The quesadilla and fries were good - neither were greasy like you'd get from other to-go orders. The meals were all reasonably priced. Eatery Cafe Kitchen is not located on Route 46, but just off Bloomfield Ave where the road splits so it's kind of off the beaten path but worth it! It's women owned and think I heard her say it's certified Halal as well. I was shocked to see that the place was empty but maybe people come here more for take out than dining in?

I got two meals out of mine. I got the gyro platter and it probably was one of the tastiest meals I've had in a long time. I thought the chicken was seasoned and flavorful. But by far, the best part was the white sauce. I would pair it with the mango lassi and it was such a great explosion of flavors - both savory and sweet. I will say they ask whether you're okay with onions and raisins in your platter. I liked them but I know raisins might not be what most people prefer to add to their rice. Service was fast. You can either order at the front table or at your seat. They got the food in a reasonable amount of time. The place looks small from the outside, but when you walk in, there's a back room worth of 30 people worth of seating. It's extremely cozy inside. There's also a parking lot right next to the restaurant and also across the street. The lot right next door is kinda small though, so you might need to loop around. Parking shouldn't be a problem and you can get a really good stop if you're lucky.

But then, the food itself was also prepared extremely well and with care. I got the chicken shawarma accompanied by baba ganoush and the freekah soup. I was delightedly surprised by the freekah soup and its warm, rich cardamom flavor. The chicken shawarma was also very juicy and savory. Our server was excellent and checked in on us quite a bit to ensure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed the calm atmosphere and pleasant music playing in the background. Upon packing our leftovers, we were even given some additional pita and olives to-go, which was an extra friendly touch to our wholesome meal. Would highly recommend this place, and we'll be back again soon!

I have to say, this is by far the best Shawarma in NJ! The ingredients were fresh, and the portions were generous.

I ordered the chicken shawarma and fried fish platter, falafel balls, and banana pudding. I basically judge a place based on their falafel and these were SO good! The platters were giant portions and I ate the food over 2 days. The service was great, the woman running the front was honest and said the food would take a while because they were really busy, but she made it within 15-20 min so it felt just right. And whoa, that banana pudding is one of the BEST I've ever had! Small eat in area as well, but probably more of a pick up/takeout spot. Either way, Amin's is a win!!

Its English name comes from a Greek legend: Zeus had an affair with a beautiful woman named Io. When Hera, his wife, discovered his infidelity, she turned Io into a cow and created a horsefly to sting her on the rump. Io jumped clear across the strait. Thus, "bous" = "cow" and "poros" = "crossing place": Bosphorus = "crossing place of the cow." Located off of busy Franklin Avenue in Nutley, my partner, our friends, and I have decided on our dinner at this family-owned-and-run BYOB establishment, which has been open since 1995. A reservation was made for a party of 4 by calling their restaurant. Upon arrival after three years, we were welcomed by Nora, the owner, and made our way to a table by the piano inside, evoking a cozy, thoughtfully designed, upscale vibe with music playing softly. Their menu features Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. For starters, we decided on the Puffed Rill Pastry and Grape Leaves. Our main meal consisted of all lamb dishes (Lamb Shish Kebab, Beyti Kebab, Lamb Chops, and Lamb Sauté). Our food was fresh, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection, accompanied by a beautifully presented dish. Everything was authentically made with love here. Wish we could have stayed for dessert, as they looked amazing, but some of us were in a rush. It's definitely on the higher end cost but worth the taste. Our visit ended with a hug and a piece of candy.

We got the dumplings, basil fried rice, and drunken noodles - it all came out to $32 which is an incredible price for the amount of food we received! The dumplings were okay, not the greatest I've had but not bad. The basil fried rice and drunken noodles were both good, they have a decent amount of chicken and vegetables, and the spice levels were true to what they said! We ordered the rice as spicy (level 1) and the noodles as very spicy (level 2) and they did not disappoint!
