The food was really good. I especially enjoyed the lamb chops. The chicken salad was also bursting with flavor and was super refreshing.

The food was really wonderful! It was fresh and done right. Everything was SO good and super authentic! I live in town and wish I found it sooner. I highly recommend this place, do not pass it by! read more

Met up with some college friends when one of their husbands suggested this place. Every place that I've been to in Montclair has never disappointments and seeing this place didn't have TOO many reviews, I'd thought I'd kick start this a little! Off the main Valley Road, we got lucky to find parking right in front of the restaurant. There is additional parking in the back as well so a lot of people do enter from the back entrance, which leads them to their outdoor seating and then to the inside of the restaurant. One of my friends got there first and went in to get seated...in which they were told that we didn't have reservations for 6. Frustrated after spelling out the last name of the reservations it was made under and repeating the name several times, the restaurant refused to seat us without reservations...even when the restaurant was close to empty. The friend who had made the reservations arrive and went in and was told the reservations were available and seated us right away- not sure WHAT the deal was where they couldn't find the reservations, but this was didn't make us very happy... especially after repeating the name and spelling out the four letter name. Ignoring this little mistake... we followed the hostess to the back where we were seated in their "garden" area. The back area had a very nice set up of tables lawn tables and wooden benches with strings of round light bulbs that run along the tops of the table umbrellas and trees. The menu is extensive in my opinion and it was very hard to choose what I wanted to eat without ordering too much. A plus for this place is that it's BYOB, like most restaurants in Montclair. Our group started off with the hummus and babaganus (not sure if I spelt this correctly) which was served with freshly baked bread. Everyone ordered different plates that consisted of ground skewered beef, chicken, lamb, chicken with yogurt sauce, and a vegetarian dish that was made up of potatoes and tomatoes. I ordered the skewered ground chicken which came with 2 big pieces, a small side of rice, one piece of broccoli, a carrot, and half a tomato. The dish was cooked very well with the ground chicken NOT being dry at all. The spices and the juiciness went really well with the chicken and the amount of rice given was more than enough (about palm size). I wish they had more veggies on the side, but I'll take it! My husband ordered the combination platter which was a chicken kebob and lamb kebob which he enjoyed, but the lamb was a little undercooked for his liking. The service was great. Our waitress was waiting for all the parties in the back, which wasn't too many when we were dining, but she managed to keep up and make sure we were satisfied with the meal. Parking right in front of the restaurant at night isn't a good idea because they piled on the trash right on the side of my car with no regards to whether or not their trash can scraped my car. I walked out to my car and all I smelt was trash and seeing the trash can rubbing up the side of my car did not make me very happy. I recommend parking in the back, away from the trash and the main road. I probably wouldn't come back any time soon with so many other places in Montclair, but it's worth a try. Just make sure you make reservations, otherwise they won't seat you even if the place is empty... read more

A little off the beaten path that is Bloomfield Ave, Toros (in Upper Montclair) was a surprising gem to find! Spent a friend's birthday, and they accommodated our large group with ease, especially for a Friday night! You will eat your weight in carbs, but the dessert selection is a must. Once you go baklava, you'll never go bak! read more

Food and service are fine. Love the outdoor dining in a private, quiet area behind the restaurant.

We came for lunch on a weekend day and were extremely happy with our meal and the whole experience. All of the tables are very well spaced out inside of the restaurant and I felt comfortable eating inside, which I have only done one other time during covid. After a warm greeting we were given menus for the lunch special, there were several choices of appetizers and main courses to choose from, but no prices on the menu. I had the Labneh appetizer and branzino with shepherd salad and my fella had the cold spinach and yogurt appetizer and the salmon with lentil soup. Each entrée was served with a choice of soup or shepherd salad. A basket of delicious Turkish bread was served with the appetizers. I liked my appetizer more than the cold spinach appetizer. The fish main courses were served with a reasonable sized portion of rice and a green salad. The green salad was complete unnecessary as you will be rather full if you finish the fish. If choosing between the branzino and the salmon, get the salmon which was the taster choice. All of this lovely food came to only $16 per person, left us completely stuffed, and was really good. The Turkish coffee was also a nice treat. read more

Very tasty! Ordered the done kebab with a side of vegetables Instead of the rice and they were able to accommodate. Also ordered the baba ganoush as a starter and ordered the baklava for dessert and turkish coffee. read more

Amazing Turkish food. The flavors were sublime, the savory, perfectly ethnic, spices danced on my tongue, the way a belly dancer moves in the night I think (my wife reads these). This was a recommendation of a Turkish friends as the best authentic Turkish restaurant - great choice. Food: The food was delicious. Service: promptly greeted and seated. Ordered as soon as ready, received the meal on time, and got the check when asked- exactly what I want at every restaurant. Ambiance: Turkish music, Turkish decoration. It's obvious this place is Turkish owned and operated. Quality: Entrees range from 15-18$ for meals that could easily be 40-50$ in the city. read more

What a lovely evening! We love the ambiance of this place and can't wait for the patio area to open in warmer weather! The food is absolutely wonderful! Even the tomatoes and onions in the plate with the grilled octopus were heavenly! We really enjoyed meeting our server, Sezen! She made us feel welcome from the minute we sat down. She was warm and gracious and clearly enjoyed her role as our host! Sezen took such good care of us all through the dinner, anticipating our needs and sharing tips on the menu and chatting with us a bit when she had a minute. She saw us taking pictures of our main dishes and volunteered to take our picture! What could be better than a wonderful restaurant, great food and fantastic service! Thank you, Sezen and Toros for our special evening with you. read more

Very nice little Turkish restaurant with quaint outdoor seating and polite service. We started with a wonderful salad and babaganoush with bread and olives followed by minced lamb and salmon. All delicious. Very nice atmosphere and very pleasant outdoor dining made for a wonderful lunch experience. read more

I would go back because the atmosphere and the food were great. Service was okay but oddly unfriendly, to the point where it seems like they put some effort into letting you know that they aren't thrilled with the job and they are having no fun at all. Message received. But the food was served and we enjoyed it immensely. We had the combo appetizer, all of which was delicious and served with warm bread. We had the branzino fillet (that did have a lot of bones) and lamb kebab. Both came with rice and the branzino came with a large side salad. We had baklava for dessert, which was excellent. The dining room is beautiful and romantic. read more

The food is always good and consistently delicious. The lunch special is worth the drive. sit on the outdoor patio if weather permits.

(Safe Dining) An amazing enclosed but open air 'backyard' space behind the main facade was very inviting & extremely comfortable. Excellent service & really tasty items. Working off the brunch menu we sampled garlicky Lebni, Hummus, and the Toros Salata. I don't recall the name of the soup special but it was gone pretty quickly. The Branzino & Kebobs were toothsome & deelish but the Lahana Sarma (Stuffed Cabbage) STOLE the show. As did the atmosphere & the Turkish tea. Jonesin to go back ASAP! Check out the pics for some gorge presentations! read more

Great Turkish resturant in downtown Montclair, and it's BYO!! They have a lot of outdoor seating in the back area. There's a lot of options to choose from between the kabobs and entrees. I went with a group of four and we started with a combination platter. We got 6 small portions of the dips with a side of pita bread and Turkish bread. Of all the dips, the baba Ganoush and Patlican sosu were my favorite. For my entree, I ordered the lamb shank, which was really good. The meat was seasoned really well and fell right off the bone. read more

First time ordering and the food was really good. Only one minor thing - the salad I got could have had a little less goat cheese and more of the candied walnuts to be more balanced. read more

Nice portion sizes & quality food. Delicious bread!!Falafel was really good & the side of hummus that comes with it is delicious. Most meals come with a really good side salad which really is a great touch. The salmon was quality. Lamb chops also tasty. You really won't be disappointed with anything you get here. Super cute outside back dining area too, but bring a jacket bc it doesn't get much sun from the shade of the buildings. I recommend for sure. read more

We stopped here on our way home from the City. Quaint little restaurant. They have a lunch special: appetizer, soup/salad, entre and a drink for $17.99. We didn't even notice the sign when we walked in. We ordered the chicken soup and the red lentil soup. They were good. We had the hummus and the patlican salatasi, they were both very good. For our entre we had the Sis Kebab and the Levrek. They were both fantastic! We will definitely be back!!!! read more

Awesome Turkish/Mediterranean spot in upper montclair. My girlfriend and I went after it changed hands and didn't know what to expect (unlike me because I usually have to know everything about a place before eating there). Super happy we tried it. The service is impeccable, very accommodating. The food is fresh and flavorful, and big portions! Atmosphere is great, warm and comfortable, in the summer there's an adorable patio out back. Overall great place! read more

We had a birthday party in their new private room and were delighted - with the food, the service, the pacing. It was easy to relax and just enjoy a special time together. Highly recommend. read more

Everything here was delicious! The service was great and the staff is very friendly. I would definitely come back again.

Ordered Chicken Kebab, the pieces were big, uncooked, hard and tasteless. Ordered Fried Calamari which was stinking the minute it got delivered. Calamari never stinks... The menu has changed completely from when it originally started. There is no Chicken Adana Kebab. We hated the food and will never order from here. Completely destroyed the Friday dinner. read more

We happened to walk by on a hot Sunday for brunch, seeing the nice shaded patio in the back of the restaurant. The service was good, and the food excellent. Definitely will come back for dinner! read more

I'm being generous with the two stars. It's been a year or so since we last visited and it's changed. They had a nice patio but it looked neglected. We had a table for 6 and arrived early, but they kept piling up tables close to us so there was NO room to move even though it wasn't busy. The service was not great; sure they provided bread and water and after that, it was constant reminder to take our order, or to clear the table for dinner. The waiter was hard to understand and hadnt been offered a welcome nor drinks to start. It was all about being ready to order otherwise we were left waiting. The apps for example came but no pita to eat with. I had the lamb chops and chicken; bland, undercooked lamb and dry chicken. The fat was barely rendered on the 2 lamb chop pieces. When I mentioned this to a different waiter she emphasized but still ended up paying for a plate I barely ate. It was hot day and barely felt the air on but at least the front glass was lowered which was a relief. The bathroom had a dryer where the plug was underneath the blower so any dripping water would touch the wiring! (No towels) Overall we shouldn't have to chase good service, we after paid for this meal. We've visited other Toros locations and sadly we will not be returning to this one. read more

Visited mid week. Comfortable Turkish restaurant along an area with varied food choices. Service was attentive. All staff looked authentic turks. Fairly busy, and with a decent touch of fine dining. Felt for some authentic Turkish kebabs so I took the Server's recommendation. Didn't disappoint. A lovely serving of skewered Chicken and Lamp pieces ( can't remember the name ) served with Turkish rice, veggies and a lovely sauce to compliment the meat. Plate was garnished with a healthy Tyme like looking herb that actually had an aroma. Prices are not bad, it's a fine dining venue. Would definitely go back when I'm in the Orange/Montclair area of NJ. Recommended for a Turkish Dinner. read more

Excellent outdoor seating area! We went with my parents this past weekend, and we had a fantastic experience. The seating was appropriately distanced and the food was amazing. I got a doner platter served over sautéed bread with yogurt, and the meat was so flavorful and the bread was soaked with the tomato sauce and the yogurt complimented it well. My girlfriend and mother got excellent moussakas, and my dad got the Hunkar Begendi. We were all super happy with our meals, and we got some great Turkish coffee afterwards. Would absolutely go back! read more

Food was delicious, the hospitality was wonderful, and the service was very attentive.

Food was great, service was excellent. I had the combination platter and shared it with my son which was more than enough. My wife had lamb shish and she loved it, we had the turkish coffee and the rice pudding which was also great. Highly recommended. read more

The food here was excellent but the waiter rushed my family. It is very pretty inside and it has a very nice ambiance.

we went for lunch. the lunch specials are nice and they have a nice patio in the back. The coban salata was fresh and it was a large portion. We also enjoyed the appetizers. The selection of the entrees was limited. I had an Adana which was underwhelming. The veggies on the side seemed like frozen mixed veggies and the rice bland. Overall, it was an underwhelming meal. read more

This is a fantastic restaurant. I have eaten there dozens of times and the food has always been absolutely delicious. The salads are unbelievably fresh, the lamb chops perfectly grilled, the salmon insanely tasty! I absolutely highly recommend! Thank me later. read more
