What a beautiful gem I found after a day at the spa near edgewater in NJ. The owner/chef really accommodated although it was near closing. He gave us such recommendations and great attention. We had the split pea soup (my fav) definitely dip their fresh pita bread in it. We got the fresh hummus and calamari and it didn't disappoint. For dinner we had the Bronzino which is filleted with couscous that were good and the steak kebabs that were tender and tasty (he even explained the process). Although they were finishing their night we were served with smiles and patience and the even some extra dessert. If you're in the area definitely stop in. I'll be sure to be back to try more. They also had a beautiful dinning decor and they offer hookah. read more

We hadn't heard about Tosun before, making our find even more special. They've created a clean space with good value. The employees provided remarkably attentive care. This represents top-tier dining experience. I'm impressed by this spot and you'll be equally impressed. read more

Finally got a chance to stop by this place for lunch, and I can tell you that it's an authentic, Turkiye-cozy, and delicious restaurant with lots of vegetarian options. First of all, the interior is warm and inviting with elements of Turkish designs and makes you feel at ease. Menu is pretty straight-forward, with a long list of appetizers separated by cold or hot, which I found was thoughtful, especially for ladies who may want to know if an app is cold or not. Some oven items, pita sandwiches, and of course, main courses. We ordered lightly since it was a lunch: 1. Muhteber (Cold App, $8.5, 3/5) - We love babaghanoush and order it all the time so figured we'd try something else. This is char-grilled eggplant w/ aged feta and walnut (tree nut allergy warning!) which was rather ... bland though had interesting bite texture. We ate it with their hot & chewy pita bread and while it felt wholesome, it wasn't as tasty as good ole babaghanoush. 2. Mixed Pide (Entree, $22, 4/5) - Basically a large flat bread pizza from oven, it was quite delicious w/ smoky cumin flavor permeating the mouth-watering spicy sausage & pastrami. It was a satisfying savory & crunchy bite that was filling. 3. Chicken Shish wrap (Entree, $17.5, 4/5) - A bit smaller than what I'm used to, it was well-balanced in meat & veggie ratio, and the sauce they use was delicious. Came with pipin'-hot fries! We also enjoyed their fresh squeezed OJ and Turkish tea which was served in the authentic tea cup w/ base. We also had a nice chat with our waitress who was from Izmir, Turkey which we recently traveled nearby on our cruise, so that was rather nice. I saw locals walk on over for a meal, which made sense since it's surrounded by condo complexes and does not have a large parking lot. However, they do have a side street so you can still find parking there. We enjoyed our meal and will be back to try main courses as well! read more

What a lovely find What an absolutely lovely find amongst our travels. The ambiance makes one feel tranquil...think spa with food. The staff is warm and welcoming, and so attentive they know what you want/need even before you do, I believe. And last but not least, the food! OMGOSH, amazing. We have not had Mediterranean fare like this in so long. Fresh, authentic, and mouthwatering. Truly an experience as well as a meal. I cannot advise you strongly enough that you absolutely must visit as soon as possible. read more

I came to Tosun on a Tuesday night a few weeks ago. It was fairly empty with only 2 other tables with people. Starting with what I liked, the food. The food here is was excellent to say the least. Appetizers were very good and I liked the hummus. I had the beef kebab and it was honestly one of the best I've had. My mother had the salmon and she liked how it was prepared. We had the Balkava for desert. It was good, but a bit too sweet for me. One thing I do want to note is this restaraunt does not serve alcohol, so make sure to come with a bottle of wine, if you drink. Overall, I would say the food here is 4/5. The service here was shockingly bad. Getting the waiters to serve us was like pulling teeth and they had a bad attitude. My son came first and he asked for water for everyone. The waiter brings a closed bottle of poland spring and didn't pour it for anyone. When I arrived with my wife and mother, we brought a bottle of wine and the waitress hands us a bottle opener instead of opening it and pouring it. I then tried to get a waiters attention and they were just roaming around to help open it for us. After about 5 minutes of trying to get a waiter over, they came and opened the bottle. It took a long time for the waiter to come and take our orders even if we tried to get their attention. As we were dining the waiters did not come once to our table. I understand if the restaraunt is full but it was practically empty. After we ate, the waiters disappeared somewhere we had to wait for 10 minutes to ask for the bill. Even then, they didn't want to walk over to us. I have never seen such poor service and was shocked that a good restaraunt has this issue. Service was 0.01/5. Finally, the bill. The bill includes tips and I would have left half of what was computed given how terrible the service was. The bill was much more than I expected and I didn't like how expensive it was. Overall, I had a great meal here but the service I received was just terrible. read more

We came here for our anniversary dinner, attracted by the nice view and tasty looking food. They definitely did not disappoint! Food: This Turkish spot in Edgewater serves great Mediterranean fare. We ordered the calamari to start, and then followed it up with the Mixed Grill and Skirt steak which both came with their own sides. Wow these portions were big. One entree could probably have fed the both of us comfortable. We ended up having to take the leftovers away. Very tasty! Service: We got there around 5 pm on Saturday night without a reservation and were seated right away. The servers were very patient in explaining some of the Turkish menu items I was unfamiliar with. Ambiance: The decor of this place is definitely outstanding. There is outdoor patio seating with string lights which would be perfect for a warm night. Inside, they have very nice decor as well so there are aesthetic options wherever you end up sitting! read more

Small place, unexpectedly cute inside. Food and service were both great, and it's a bring your own!

Mediterranean/Greek/Turkish food - A selection hard to find in this area, but the food is decent and it's BYOB. Always a must get is : Shepherd's Salad (with lots of herbs!!!!!) Shrimp casserole (Tomato sauce) - Great for dipping with bread as if it's Shashuka ^^ Their dips are great !!!!Tzatziki, hummus, babaganoush, etc. Baklava & Kunefe for dessert !!!!! I am usually a big fan of Lahmacun, but this time, I wouldn't know why, but the meat smell (??? Lamb????) was unpleasant. Maybe we should opt for lahmacun at another Turkish restaurant at Cliffside Park. But, all in all, Marmaris is worth it. read more

Tosun - Pistachio Baklava - Turkish Near Me - Edgewater, New Jersey

The food is ok but can be better, portions are ok, the atmosphere, music and the decorations is nice, The service needs to be improved they need to hire more experienced wait staff, that means the owner of the establishment needs to pay the experienced wait staff the right amount and be generous if he wants to have a good waiters/waitress !! I can tell that the waiter he doesn't have a good experience in restaurant business!! We ask for tea after we finished our meal, the server told us that they just made a fresh turkish tea so it will be ready in few minutes, so we waited around 20 minutes!! And then he comes back with the check around 9:25 saying that they will be closing soon, without mentioning or saying anything about the Tea, That we were waiting for!! We paid in cash and tipped him anyway, make sure you pay cash because they charge %3.5 on your total if you use credit card!! I don't know if i will go back !! read more

Very tasty and authentic Turkish cuisine! Went here with my mentor who is from Turkey and we ordered a variety of appetizers/ finger foods. He surprised me and ordered in Turkish with the waitress, so I only knew what some of the dishes were but not all. The dessert was to die for and I really enjoyed the Lahmacun, the shepherds small salad, the Muhteber with the pita bread was also tasty and the feta in phyllo (sigara boregi) were super delicious. They had thinly slice liver (which I don't really like but, since it was very thin, I was able to have some pieces) would definitely recommend! read more

I come here for breakfast. I keep forgetting to take pics before I eat, so going to need people to trust me in my review. The omelette with sucuk (sausage) is very good. Platter comes with cut fries and sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. As for the desert, the pistachio puff pastry with clotted cream is really good; not to sweet for a desert. It has the right amount of sweetness. Staff is pleasant. Will recommend. read more

Delicious Turkish food in a very cool restaurant. Had several appetizers: Ezme - delicious with a little heat. So hard to find it this good; lebni yogurt appy;cigari boriak (sorry, I don't know how to spell it) falafel in a bed of a mint pesto and babaganoush . Their online menu isn't loading right now so I can't post the entrees that we had, but everything was excellent. Service was wonderful - our glasses were never empty of water and our kind waitress kept our pita basket full of their wonderful homemade pita bread. They must be doing well bc they're building a patio extension! Not my first time there and certainly won't be the last! read more

Love this place. My husband and I tried it out for the first time. For a Friday night there was so much space. Interior decorating was on point. I ordered Turkish coffee and Turkish soda.

My husband and I ordered the specialties - lamb and the ground chicken. Huge portion sizes - we brought the leftovers home. read more

Quaint cafe with gorgeous indoor and outdoor seating! Right on river road in Edgewater, I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place. They halal some halal dishes that you won't find in typical places. We got the mixed meat pide that had sausage and salami on it with special cheese. The margarita pizza was simple and so delicious, one of the best things we had, it came hot out of the clay oven. The chicken Adana kabab wrap and the lamb shush kabab were okay, they came with very delicious fries as well. The chicken Caesar salad had a wonderful dressing but the chicken itself was a tad bit dry. Overall it was a great experience, staff was very helpful and kind, they all followed cdc guidelines. Will be back to try some things off their dinner menu, they're entrees looked very good at some other people's tables ! read more

So my friend Jocelyn K has been on a pretty heavy Turkish kick so she wanted to take me here, I thought my meal here was really good. The restaurant itself is located on a busy street with a little parking lot in front but the restaurant itself had a friendly staff and a warm feel. The decor is pretty straightforward but the food impressed. The food: Kuzu Tandir- Roasted lamb with eggplant puree. This was my fav thing that night, the eggplant puree tasted like mashed potatoes in a way and really went well with the lamb. I enjoyed the flavor of the lamb but I did wish it was a tad more juicy. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=OHg-ZOhiGbSsnrV6tV2DQw&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Icli Kofte- Fried Kibbeh. Fried crack wheat croquette stuffed with minced seasoned lamb. I really liked these, there were kinda like little round meat patties, I really enjoyed the texture of the crust and and the filling was flavorful and juicy. The addition of the the sour cream made the dish even better. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=U3S71a6Bd7jQlqAZr-BjOg&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Lahmacun- Turkish flat bread with seasoned minced meat. I tried the Lahmacun by itself and it was a bit plain, but when you add the parsley, lemon, red onion, and tomato it became so much better. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2QMdK9Hf9CeN4f87PYSrrA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA read more

I'm still pretty new to Turkish cuisine so I was really happy my friend took me here! Parking was easy and the restaurant has a large seating area with lovely Turkish decor. Service was rather slow, but the food more than made up for it. For dinner we shared a variety of plates: -Lahmacun - kind of like a Turkish style flatbread! This is minced lamb meat baked on a crispy dough and I looooved this dish. Very light and appetizing. -Acili ezeme - simple and freshly chopped tomato & pepper dip. The dish was rather underwhelming, but tasted better on top of the complimentary bread. -Icli kofte - crispy little football-shaped balls filled with seasoned ground lamb. It came with a side of yoghurt dip, but definitely didn't need it. -Kuzu tandir - a generous serving of warm juicy lamb over pureed roasted eggplant. There was so much flavor in this entree! It eventually got filling and heavy by the end of the meal, but I would still definitely order this one again. -Kunefe - a baked sweet cheese dessert. I probably couldn't eat too much of this in one sitting, but this was the perfect amount to share. Great experience overall here. I can't wait to try more authentic Turkish dishes! read more

I came here for a weekday brunch and it was pretty empty, considering it was almost noon and off of a busy main road. The interior is very vibrant, colorful, spacious and clean. If I could give this review 3.5 stars, I would. At first, it was pretty weird that we were ordering at 11:17 am and we had to wait until exactly 11:30 am to order off of the lunch menu, which includes the lahmacun... Thirteen... Minutes...? Our waitress was very friendly, but it didn't make sense. My sister and my cousin and I aren't very picky customers, so we just decided to shrug it off and laughed at how silly that was. The food was very tasty and savory. I like their plating, portions, and how easy it was to share the dishes amongst the three of us. Prices are reasonable and everything was fresh. Marmaris seemed terribly understaffed as our waitress was the only one taking orders, serving tables and also cleaning up (even though there were only two other tables of customers). I had to wait until the very end of our meal to get more water because she never came around or she was always preoccupied so I couldn't flag her down. At one point, we saw our waitress putting something in the oven while rushing to serve plates of food and I felt kind of bad because she was always frantic. Being that the meal was very carb heavy and on the saltier side, I was dying of thirst and was parched. Thank goodness my sister had some Turkish tea left for me to chug, which by the way was wonderfully fragrant. Overall, I would come back to try their dinner menu as the food was pretty delicious. read more

Went there on a Saturday 12/21 -- not too crowded - greeted pleasantly then served with freshly made chicken kebob and egg plant casserole and a pot of Turkish tea- the waitress was incredibly sweet and friendly, so is everyone who helped us at the restaurant; she brought us 2 pieces of baklava and said the baklava and tea were on the house - baklava was yum yum - I was craving Kunefe (holidays maaaan) and they did not disappoint with a hot and sweet Kunefeh. Overall a 5 star experience, the price was decent, the place was decorated nicely, food was fresh and tasty and service was excellent. I am fan of Turkish breakfast so will report back on that in a weekend or 2 read more

Marmaris is an excellent choice for Turkish food in the Edgewater area. Prices are definitely on the upper end, so you may be better served in terms of pricing and portions by going to Paterson. That being said, Marmaris offers a classic menu filled with taste and freshness. They offer classical Turkish breakfast, in addition to lunch and dinner. In the Edgewater area, you won't find a better option for halal Turkish food. They are also close to the waterfront areas and have a small parking lot. During COVID, they also offer outdoor seating. read more

The first few times I went to Marmaris were a few years ago and the food was spectacular. Recently, I went with a party of 10 for iftaar (Ramadan dinner). I was pretty disappointed overall. I got the ground chicken kebab (chicken Adana) which had a really weird flavor, nothing distinct just off. It was also extremely dry. I tried my friend's chicken kebab and it had the same strange flavor and was equally dry and chewy. The side salad was good and had a nice acidic dressing, but it was only a side salad after all. The waiter later told us we could only pay using 3 cards maximum, something the restaurant failed to inform us of upon making the reservation and the waiter failed to tell us before ordering. We made our case and he let us use five cards in the end. Altogether it was meh. However the decor is BEAUTIFUL and I'd possibly come back to try the breakfast! read more

Pleasant attentive staff. Wonderful food. We plan to return soon and also order take out to serve at home. Bravo!

We were in the area for Trader Joe's and Whole Food, we usually stop by Mitsuwa to grab something at the food court, but since it was closed for the night, I've decided to search for another place in the area. Marmaris was highly rated on Yelp, so we decided to check it out. I was not expecting such a charming restaurant when we pulled up, I thought it was the type of place where you pick up the food and head out. There is a small-ish parking lot outside the cafe, and an inviting outdoor space in the front of the cafe. We opted to sit inside, which was adorable with very pretty lighting and comfortable seating space. Each of the menu items was accompanied by a picture, I normally scoff at things like that, but this was super helpful as I am not familiar with Turkish food. We ordered a few dishes to share and they were all great, see details below. Hummus - the guy is a huge fan of hummus, and he really wanted to try their version of it. It was very good, but I don't think I've ever had bad hummus, I guess I don't really have a refined palate when it comes to hummus. However, the accompanied warm house-made pita really helped to elevate this dish. It was perfectly soft and chewy at the same time. Moreover, they were cut into bite size strips that allow easy dipping and eating. It's a small thing, but I appreciate the small touches Lamb Sac Tava - I love lamb, and I actually wanted to try the lamb shish kabab, but my guy was pointing to the picture of the Sac Tava, which confused the waiter and brought that out instead. I didn't mind the mix-up as this was a really good dish and I am glad we tried it. The dish consisted of bite size lamb with tomato and peppers. The dish was incredibly flavor and went well with the accompanied bulgur. Mixed Pide - this is a long flat bread baked with cheese, spicy sausage and chopped meat. It's like a Turkish pizza. I loved the cheese and the meat combination, and as I mentioned above, their bread baking skills are pretty on point. The servers were friendly and helpful. The cafe also had numerous dessert on display and I would've loved to try some if I was so stuffed from dinner already. I highly recommend the place, and cannot wait to come back to try more dishes. read more

I felt little suspicious for this place due to some recent negative reviews on Yelp, but overall experience was great. It was my first time to try Turkish food and I didn't know what to expect. It was packed when I walked in, but service was good and attentive. The food was fresh/ coffee & tea were strong and tasty. I wish I had ordered some greens with all these carbs though! The bread was soft and warm, I would like to come back for their breakfast plate, which seemed like what everyone else got. read more
