My husband and I had our first date here, got engaged here and then had them cater our wedding. The food is always on point, and working with the manager for coordination of the food and the delivery to the venue was effortless. 100% would recommend Toros! Kocam ve ben burada ilk randevumuzu yaptık, burada nişanlandık ve sonra düğünümüzü ikram etmelerini sağladık. Yemekler her zaman yerinde ve yemeğin koordinasyonu ve mekana teslimat için müdürle çalışmak zahmetsizdi. %100 Toros'u tavsiye ederim! read more

Very tasty! I had the Adana kebab picked up with a few other orders and some lebne and like an eggplant side. LOVED the walnuts in the eggplant and the sliced almonds in the fragrant rice. The kebab was tender and flavorful. Will definitely come back for more! read more

Toros Restaurant - Adana Kebab - Mediterranean Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

One of the good Turkish and Mediteranean food where you can enjoy also don't forget to taste their mezes

I have been to the Clifton location a few times. My lady put me on to Toros and I've never left disappointed. We decided to try out the Paterson location last night. They certainly did not disappoint. We got quite a few things. I'll start with the lowlights. The spinach feta pie lacked textural contrast. The dough was soggy and it was a lackluster dish, both of our least favorite of the meal. The falafel app, while good, is something I'd skip next go round. The shepherd salad is a must. The hummus is also very good. We got the Toros combination platter. These three dishes, along with their bread, are just delicious. Get them and then dm me a nice "thank you". Paterson location is BYOB. Just go. It's bangin! ENJOY!!! read more

Toros Restaurant - Toros combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

I have been dining at Toros Clifton for years. Toros prepares the best Turkish cuisine around! We decided to try the Paterson location for a change. We ordered our usual favorites hummus, shepherd salad, bread, and a toros combination platter. These dishes are a must and work well together! The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. We also tried for the first time the spinach feta pie. I would skip that because it was soggy and unappealing. We also ordered the falafel. It was good but it's served with salad and hummus which was unnecessary. The service was good and it is BYOB!! However, the decor and ambience was mediocre in comparison to Clifton. If you want more of a take-out feel then dine at the Paterson location. If you are looking for an attractive ambience then the Clifton location is the way to go! Either way the food is excellent at the both locations!! Enjoy! read more

First time for Turkish food and we all loved it. We got the mixed cold appetizer but I guess there's a few things not included like dolma and the bean salad. We ordered the dolma as well with a mixed shish kabob platter. Everything was so fresh tasting and delicious. The bread was amazing and different than pita bread that you get at every other Mediterranean restaurant. Some of the meat was a little dry, but I still give it 5 stars for the service and overall experience. read more

The atmosphere is very impressive with a cultural twist presenting Turkish antiques. The service from staff is timely and impeccable. The flavors from the six dishes we had were well-blended and absolutely delicious. From Coban Salata (Cucumber/Tomato salad) to Icli Kofte (wheat bulgar stuffed with Ground beef) to Sigara Boregi (filo dough stuffed with herbs and feta cheese), and ending with Tavuk Sote( sautéed chicken and vegetable in tomato sauce). All incredibly "rub-your-stomach" tasty!!! read more

I've only been to the Toros restaurant in Paterson (there is a Clifton location and one in New Milford). A friend took me and my boyfriend here for a meetup, and we've gone back to Toros since. One of the things about Turkish cuisine is that it's known for its meat-based dishes. However, it's possible to eat vegetarian and you can do this at Toros. What we did was order a bunch of appetizers, bowls of Ezogelin (red lentil soup) for each person, and we rounded off the meal with some Turkish Coffee. Below are the apps that we order usually - - Coban Salata (Sheperd Salad) - ask for Feta - Babagannush - Lebni - Hummus - Patlican Soslu (Eggplant Sauce) - Acili Ezme (Spicy Vegetable Salad) - Yalanci Dolma (Stuffed Grape Leaves) - Ispanakli Borek (Spinach Pie) You'll be in store for an amazing meal in an intimate and welcoming atmosphere at Toros. Highly recommended! read more

Never felt such so uncomfortable In this restaurant. The past two times I went there I felt unwanted there. The blonde lady saw me looking at them so I can get a menu until I finally decided to request it. Since they came to take my order without a menu. Second time I placed an order for pick up the same lady gave her my credit card to pay and she didn't bother to give me the bag for the food just left it there on the other counter. Not sure if she likes Latinos in her restaurant. Won't be going there ever again! read more

Loved the lentil soup must east Wasn't too crazy about kebob But over all great experience read more

The food is fresh, the servers are friendly and eager to help. The taste is ok, not something a gourmet Turkish would be completely satisfied, it seems the taste may be adjusted based on American style a bit. The decor is amazing and the cleanliness is well maintained. It appeared to me the management of the restaurant is maintain high standards to keep up and I think it's beautiful. read more

Very authentic Turkish food. It's BYO but don't bring it during Ramadan. Good service as well.

Eeeew. Not sure if the food or the service is worse. Maybe it's bc I'm used to real Turkish, middle eastern and Syrian food. The food is mediocre and cold, and the service is down right chilly as well. read more

Great food ... place is small, good service Have Combo of Lamb & Shish it was very good Meat was tender and vegetables grilled to perfection read more

This place is the best Turkish restaurant I have been to. The lentil soup is very tasty and a great starter. I bought the lamb chops and chicken combo. They were both marinated well and grilled to perfection. It's a small mom and pop shop but they know what they are doing. I will definitely come back and bring friends. read more

Best middle eastern restaurant in the area. Excellent customer service! And the food is always fresh The waitresses are pleasant and accommodating. Thank you Gul, Amena. Ozlem, Sevgi and the rest! read more

This was one of the first restaurants I was introduced to in Paterson. I fell in love with this place. The home-cooked style buffet reminds me of home. The service was great, I remember seeing an lady behind the counter in the kitchen cooking, she reminded me of my grandmother, she had such a welcoming smile on her face, I still remember that after all these years. I haven't seen her in a while but unfortunately I haven't been back here in a while. The space, decor, and lighting is very warm and inviting. I will come back here and I recommend this location to everyone. The one on Hazel sucks so come to Paterson. You won't leave hungry, I can almost guarantee it. read more

A hidden gem in the sketchy part of Paterson, NJ. I was so surprised to find this local Turkish restaurant when visiting the local hospital. The food is tasty and the service was nice. I ordered lamb and it was cooked to perfection. Their bread is different - and exceptionally good - compared to the standard "pita" offerings. End your meal with the Baklava with Turkish coffee. Their lunch specials offer an extensive menu at a reasonable price. I was visiting the area only for the day but would highly recommend it. read more

Excellent customer service with happy face and great food, clean sitting area , the prices are affordable

I am trying to think of any excuse to return. They have a wonderful lunch special which includes a choice of a soup or salad, an app and entree for $13. The lentil soup should not be missed, it is absolutely delicious. I even ordered extra soup to bring home to share with my mother. The chicken kebab and lamb were also delicious. The decor is wonderful too, you won't be disappointed when you visit! read more

Excellent fresh Turkish food. I feel like I'm in Istanbul whenever I eat at Toros. An authentic Turkish dining experience and also byob, including typical Turkish service standards. Service can be different than American expectations, but be patient because the food is worth it. Must order patlican soslu (eggplant salad). I also love the keskul, almond pudding. Mixed grill is a great sampler for anyone new to Turkish cuisine. read more

This place was real yummy. Came here with a friend abruptly and we're seated immediately. I let my Turkish friend do all the ordering as I'll pretty much eat anything you put in front of me. All the food was hot and came out fast. A lot of flavor to every dish. The Hummus was especially good. read more

Small cabin-like feel in the middle of Paterson. It's very cozy, comfortable and family-based. Only about 15 tables so don't expect craziness or go with large parties (the Toros in Clifton is your better bet). But, I don't like being swarmed and surrounded by bottles of alcohol (as the other Toros is), and this setting was a definitely more my style and comfort level. The food was outstanding! The chicken is ALWAYS very juicy and its the safest bet for a food meal. I also really enjoyed their tomato-based lentil soup since its definitely the turkish style of cooking-- it was great! They put an assortment of different breads at our request which is nice for a table of 6, since each of us have different tastes and preferences. And we also loved that they served each dish with two types of rice, one tomato couscous type, and the other the traditional white rice. A FEW minor changes: the lamb chops had little to no marinade or flavoring... we definitely used regular table salt to add flavor. The traditional Turkish Salad had 3/4 tomatoes and 1/4 cucumber so it was like a tomato salad and none of our party like that. It also needed a bit more lemon juice and salt. The service was good BUT they forgot my husband's order and when we ordered two things to go while our waitress was on break, the other person told the waitress she didn't understand and so we waited another 20 minutes for our order since we re-requested it with our waitress after her dinner break was done. read more

I have been going there for over 10 years. They always had good food and service. I must say since they refurbished the interior, the service has been disastrous, I never write a review after one experience because you have to be fair to the establishment. This has been my third visit in the last 5 months, the most recent one was today around 5pm when I visited with my family. The place was not that busy they had 4 servers: the food was par at best and honestly it was very frustrating just to get a water refill or pay your bill. Please do better. read more

Searching for a place to lunch with my mom between my job in Paterson and my mom's job in Clifton, I found Toros and decided to try it based on a recommendation from my colleague. Toros is located in a neighborhood that seems to be Paterson's Little Turkey, in a house on a corner of Main Street. Step into a space that could very well be your Turkish grandmother's kitchen (that is if you're Turkish and have a grandmother whose kitchen can seat around 40). The very friendly waitress was happy to recommend some dishes, and she was extremely welcoming. We decided to try the soup of the day (yellow lentil), babbaghanoush, hummus, and stuffed grape leaves. A basket of warm pita and Turkish bread (sort of like a flatter Italian bread) arrived at our table. My mom couldn't stop raving about the bread. I loved all the food. It was fresh, flavorful, and simple. From our tables, we could peer into a little window that separated the dining room from the kitchen. An older lady wearing what looked like a babooshka was stuffing grape leaves with the delicious rice and currant filling. This food is truly homemade and filling. Better yet our bill came out to less than $20. Some of the traditional Turkish entrees on the menu also sounded delicious, but they are rather expensive for lunch ($15+). However, after seeing some of the huge plates coming out of the kitchen to other tables, we decided that they could definitely be shared. read more

Came here on a recommendation from a local car dealer - we were waiting on a truck and he suggested we grab lunch here. What a great suggestion! We started with the Ezogelin lentil soup, which was seasoned so nicely and was absolutely delicious. Also had some Ezme with turkish bread - again, seasoned so well, i couldn't stop eating! For our entree, we shared an order of Adana Kebab, which they split for us onto two plates. The lamb was juicy and flavorful, overall a delicious meal. I'll have to check out their other locations as well! read more

Decided to give this place a try considering it's right by Arabian cafe and I'm glad I did. The interior of the restaurant is very cozy and relaxing. My friend and I ordered a combination platter, she had the chicken shish and I had the lamb chop combination. They first brought out bread and salads; the bread was very fresh and the salad was a great as well. Both combination platters were all flavorful and the portion was great for the price. The service was great and I even forgot my phone and they were kind enough to hold it till I got back. I'll be coming back again for sure! read more

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We had the mixed platter and loved everything that comes with it. We just felt the lamb shish was maybe undercooked, but honestly this was the first time we ever had shish so not sure if that's how it's made. They severed bread and salad as a complement. The bread was very fresh and soft. It was our first time and we will surely come again to try other varieties. read more

Stumbled upon their Main St location so i figured I'd give this place a try. The restaurant is small, maybe 10 tables, with traditional Turkish decoration on the wall. The menu was about 3 pages long, full of the traditional Turkish entrees. The service was good but a bit slow. I ordered the Sis-Adana combo (cubed slices of lamb and ground lamb). The plate comes w a surprisingly small spoonful of rice and same small spoon of burghoul and half of grilled tomato. I asked if I can substitute the rice for veggies or salad, they said they can maybe substitute with French fries. I didn't bother modifying the order and kept it as is. The food came out pretty quick. The Adana was very tasty and grilled to perfection but I was disappointed in the Sis kebab was way over cooked. I was hoping for a traditional medium done but the meat was very tough to chew, hurts your mouth after a while. Next time I may help to ask for Sish kebab medium or medium rare read more

Love this place, the food is delicious and fresh! This is my favorite Turkish restaurant in NJ.
