I stopped in with a few women I know. When I arrived I parked in the private lot. I walked in and was greeted and sat. The restaurant was spacious and I liked the decor. We were served by a nice young lady. I ordered the pinot nior which I enjoyed. The girls ordered the Babaganaush and Hummus for appetizers and they liked it. For entrees the chicken and the lamb and okra. I liked the lamb and okra! All in all a good experience!
I enjoyed dinner at Toros on a weekday evening. The menu has a wide range of options, and the service was great. For an appetizer, I enjoyed hummus. It tasted fantastic and was well complemented by the warm bread served at the table. Although a selection of wines by the bottle and glass was available, I opted for the mint lemonade, which was super refreshing. For my entree, I had the grilled chicken kebabs, which were served with a tomatoey bulgur and white rice. The chicken was very tender, and the portions were generous. All in all, I enjoyed a tasty meal. Also, Toros has a private parking lot, which I am sure fills up quickly on the weekends.
Loooove this place so much! Their meat is always seasoned and cooked to perfection, and their complimentary bread is amazing. One of my favorite middle eastern restaurants around the area.
From the moment I stepped inside, I was struck by the atmosphere -- warm, immersive, and unmistakably inviting. The service was impressively prompt without ever feeling rushed. One of the unexpected highlights? The bread and butter, deceptively simple, yet executed with such care that it nearly stole the show. The chicken salad, dressed generously in oil and vinegar, was flavorful and well-balanced, allowing each ingredient to speak for itself. Prices were astonishingly reasonable given the quality of presentation and portion size. And the Turkish tea? Undeniably the best I've had outside of Istanbul -- bold, fragrant, and perfectly steeped. However, for a restaurant that delivers such a thoughtful dining experience, the attention to cleanliness was disappointingly uneven. The restroom, in particular, fell short of acceptable standards. In my view, a restaurant's bathroom often mirrors its kitchen -- and this lack of upkeep raises concerns. And while the kitchen's execution is assured: plates arrive thoughtfully composed, flavors well-balanced, the ingredients themselves could use a touch more vibrancy. Nothing egregious, but if the kitchen wants to lean into the ethos of freshness it gestures toward, a shift in sourcing could take these dishes from very good to top tier. No wonder the place is packed for lunch on a Monday!
Excellent Mediterranean/Turkish food with mouthwatering dishes. Lamb is always fresh and delicious.
So good! Great Turkish food, can't go wrong coming here. They serve wine, with Turkish food it was so good. Big basket of fresh brad, begs one to get dip appetizers. We got 6 dishes, large is enough for dinner. Lebni is best, all the eggplant dips were great. Also got Shepard salad, combo plate and bronzino. Good god, bronzino is amazing. Get the whole fish. Great service, nice Turkish wines. They had a full bar, not BYOB. Nice decor, with parking lot.
Although Paterson and Clifton area are filled with Turkish restaurants and Middle Eastern Restaurants, this Toros location stands out by having excellent food and a great ambiance. The interior is unique and makes you feel like you're in a fancy restaurant. My favorite items are their Sheppard salad with feta, iskandar (fresh sliced donar kebab with tomato sauce over fried pieces of Turkish bread and a whole lot of yogurt), and manti (Turkish ravioli mixed with yogurt). The portions are generous and prices are reasonable. Highly recommend.
Came here because of the high reviews and we were not disappointed! You'd think that this small place with barely any parking (though you could park next door in the diner parking lot) may not seem like much but once you step in, the decor and atmosphere is perfect for bringing family and friends. I usually don't care for interior much but wow, it was almost like I was transported to a different country. The customer service is amazing as we were seated quickly, we had our orders taken quickly, and all of the staff were so attentive that our bread and water was refilled constantly throughout the night! As for the food, the complimentary bread was genuinely soft and chewy. It was the perfect starter! As for the main course, I ordered the lamb and doner combination platter and my girlfriend ordered the grilled shrimp kebab. Normally, I'm reluctant to order lamb but I took a chance and WOW, it wasn't gamey but rather, tender and juicy. The doner was plentiful and amazingly enough, I was able to taste the spices in each bite that had me wanting more! If they sold this by the pound, I'd probably buy a good 5 pounds just to eat over the next few days and MAYBE share it with my girlfriend. As for the rice, it's no ordinary rice, it's not plain white rice that one would expect, the rice is flavorful, savory, and it just complements the meat so well. As for the grilled shrimp kebab, one thing I noticed was that the shrimps are HUGE. They're not some skimpy, rubbery, baby shrimps. These were so big it took at least two bites! They're juicy, firm, moist, yet soft. I was so happy that my girlfriend couldn't finish all of them and I could help her hehe. All in all, if I'm ever in the area, I'd come back just for the wonderful experience that we had!

This was my first time at Toros and I'm glad I stopped in! The restaurant has a warm, homey and inviting vibe; I particularly liked the lighting and wall art, it made the space feel very authentic. Toros only serves wine, so plan accordingly (they do have a non-alcoholic lemonade on the menu, which my dinner date loved). Our server was friendly and took time to describe each item on the menu. For my meal, I tried the Bamia, which is a traditional, thick Turkish stew with okra and lamb, served with basmati rice. The stew itself had a sour taste but our server did give me the heads up before ordering. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Toros and I'm looking forward to coming back! read more

My wife and I ate here for the first time a few days ago. The restaurant was comfortable and warm. The staff was super attentive but not overbearing. The food was fantastic. I had a sampler platter. All of the meats were good but the chicken kabob was unbelievably good. The next time that we are visiting this area, we will have a meal here. And I will get chicken kabob. read more

We decided to try Toros for our Saturday lunch. We arrived around 15 mins after the opening hours, and were the first group at the restaurant. Walking in, there are many awards and accolades at the entrance, that sets up pretty high expectation for the place. I was mesmerized by the interior of the restaurant, very well decorated, created a perfect Turkish environment within the restaurant. I was surprised to see them offering Lunch Special during the weekend, as most restaurants only do it on weekdays. But, upon request the do hand out the full menu. The full has some special Turkish Dishes, that are not listed in the lunch menu. Lunch special items do come with an appetizer and an entree, with side of soup or salad, plus tea or coffee. All that for only $15.99, really impressive. We tried the several of the dishes, and all were super impressive. Really enjoyed the eggplant appetizer, the salad had a kick of vinegar, lamb was super tender, with tiniest Okra I have ever seen, and the chicken Kabob was also note worth. Their are many servers at the restaurant, but seems to me, tables are not assigned to them. So, it creates confusion, and either we get asked same question multiple times, or at times no one shows up at our table for a long time. We also notice the person working at reception had no interest in guests walking in and leaving, as she was very occupied with her IG on her phone. So, they have some room to improve in their service. Food taste - 5/5 Food prep time - 5/5 Service - 3/5 Price - $$$ Items Tried: Etil Bamya (Lamb with Okra) - 5/5 Patrician Salatasi (Eggpalnt mashed) - 5/5 Kiymali Tavuk Adana - 5/5 Grilled Bronzino - 5/5 read more
Excellent Turkish food! Even the tea and coffee tasted different (maybe some Turkish brand?). Prob the best I have ever had. Decoration inside is very colorful and antique ish. Definitely impressive. $15.99 for soup or salad/appetizer/entree/coffee or tea. SUNDAY TO MONDAY! Highly recommended! read more
I went here for a Pharmaceutical dinner . Immediately loved the place ! I felt like i was transported back to Instanbul in the Sultanahmet ! The decor is culturally tasteful as is the food ! Great portions for price . Authentic cuisine . I love that the majority of the staff and patrons are natives of Turkey. Will DEF go back . Who knew there three Toros near my home !!! Clifton , Montclair and Patterson . If you go before closing there is a AUTHENTIC bakery across the street Taskins read more
Solid choice for middle eastern food in Clifton. We had a celebratory lunch with their prix fix menu. Soup or salad, multiple choices for appys and entrées. Definitely love their salads, although soup was very good. Everyone ordered something different. Hummus very good, babaghanoush not my favorite. Overall, a solid meal with great service! Easy parking. Nice restaurant in area. read more
I'm very surprised I never wrote a review for this wonderful place as I ordered from there twice if not three times(for some reason I recall another kebab of some type.) There's a reason why I find it difficult to recommend Turkish restaurants in New York and that's because Northern NJ exists whether it be this spot or a few others (as well as my favorite spot having been closed due to Covid.) I've never eaten here directly but back when I was in NJ more, I ordered through various sites though primarily through Ubereats as for some reason; they appear to have a bigger delivery radius for some places. Outside of the Uber advertisement, they have an amazing lunch special for 15.99 consisting of either a lentil soup or shepherd salad, another appetizer, a main dish, and a drink which comes with fresh tasty bread in case you are somehow not full (and also to help with the appetizers.) It also comes with a wet wipe unlike other spots and some other stuff (props to their takeout packaging.) Of the first course, I've only personally tried the Çoban salatası/Shepherd Salad which consists of the following: Chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, tender long green peppers, red onion & parsley tossed with extra virgin olive oil & vinegar. The salad is very fresh and as per the rest of the dishes was large and it makes a good break from the richness of the rest of the meal. I once ordered the Ezogelin/lentil soup for someone else which they liked a lot. Of the appetizers, I've ordered a couple; the yogurtlu ispanak and the soslu patlican. Yoğurtlu ıspanak/Yogurt and spinach- Spinach sautéed with onions and tomato served with yogurt. This is a very tasty mix. I found some places to be a bit heavy-handed with the yogurt but in this case the spinach blends well. Overall I would recommended it especially if you want something a bit richer. Soslu patlıcan/Eggplant with tomato sauce- Fresh eggplant, tomatoes, red peppers, garlic, green onions, tomato & parsley. This is also very tasty as per most other things here. The tomato sauce has a wonderful spice blend. Overall it's a good version. In terms of main dishes, I've ordered the izgara kofte and the sarma. Izgara Köfte/Turkish meatballs- Minced beef & lamb blended with onions, garlic, parsley & our own special spices. As with the other dishes, this had a nice spice blend. The meatballs were very tender and I would recommend it. Sarma/Stuffed cabbage roll-Cabbage leaves stuffed with rice, meat, pepper, onion & herbs with tomato sauce. For some reason the current menu online shows Lahana sarması and it shows smaller cabbage rolls but when I ordered it was two large pieces as can be seen in the photo. Outside of this confusion, it was also quite tasty. As per the eggplant, the tomato sauce had a good flavor and even after being delivered, the cabbage roll kept most of the texture. I preferred the meat but this is also quite good. Overall I really can't find much wrong about this spot. Everyone I know who lives around there and knows the spot loves the place for a good reason. They have a very reasonable tasty lunch special which leaves even me with leftovers. I would like to go back just to get dinner there and I definitely plan on doing so. Upper 4. read more
Beyond words, but you know I'll try my best! We decided to finally dine in again and couldn't have been happier with Toros. I just wanna say that our server was fantastic, he took the time to explain everything to us, especially since there were a lot of things on the menu were unfamiliar with. I really appreciated that. With our servers suggestion, we got the dip sampler which is not on the menu but they do offer it. It's 6 different dips that you enjoy with their delicious perfectly fresh bread. My favorite was the lebni. It is so so ridiculously good. It's a yogurt dip with lemon and walnuts. Their hummus is exceptional too. Their eggplant dips were great. I was super happy with the sampler. We decided both on getting kabobs. I got chicken and they were perfectly cooked. Crisp and done right on the outside then tender and juicy inside. Paired with that delicious buttery rice. Can't go wrong. My boyfriend got lamb chops and he loved them too. We were so full from the appetizer and entrees but of course we had to try dessert. Again, not on the menu but our server suggested the trio sampler. It had baklava - which was delicious, a wheat pastry with honey and a delicious pudding. All presented on a beautiful plate. I ended the dinner with some Turkish coffee, which I had never tried and it was great. Overall, the place is beautiful. The decor in here makes you feel like you're definitely not in clifton- heck not even in Jersey. They have a parking lot as well which makes things easier. Check them out! read more

Very good Turkish restaurant. Beautiful interior that is warmly inviting. Good service. Enjoyed my lamp chops with shish kabobs. Desert was almond pudding . read more
Beautiful restaurant! We came only for take out and definitely want to come back to eat inside. Got 3 of their lunch special combos to go. Which comes with an appetizer, entree, and a choice of soup or salad and a drink (coffee, or soda). Great deal. Even tho we only came for take out, we could sense how friendly the service is. The gentleman who took our order gave us the coffee to enjoy while we waited for our food. The food was generous in portion, fresh and good. The side salad was very yummy. They also gave this huge bread that was really good. I definitely want to come back and eat inside this beautiful restaurant. read more

I absolutely loved this place! The decor & food were delicious, although our waiter wasn't too friendly he was polite & offered good suggestions. It is definitely worth a visit, they have a wide variety of options & both meals that we ordered were delicious. To start they brought us soft bread & butter which I couldn't pass up! For the entrees I got the lamb kabobs which came with 2 small sides & my father also had the lamb but thinly sliced. I look forward to going back soon to try more food & some desserts! read more
The bread was delicious! They give each table a whole loaf of bread and it was probably the best bread I've ever had at a restaraunt. I ordered the eggplant and lamb. It was really tasty, the lamb was a bit dry. The restaraunt was so cool. Walking in with so many decorations and colors, it was really nice. The waitresses were very attentive and nice, she recommended a good dish to try. I reccomend coming here! It's a bit on the pricy side though. read more
