Three stars but don't let that deter you…read more COVID-compliant! No indoor or outdoor seating however. One staff member. Everything is neat and clean, if a little outdated inside. The TV playing a PBS program is from 2003, but it's more about the food right? Good selection of menu items, from salads to soups sandwiches and smoothies. Pricing is based on weight of the salad, so I was a little taken aback that two salads (add avocado), and two seltzer's were just short of $30. The place is nestled in the plaza close a bookstore, coffee shop, and several delis of varying flavors. So they do have some competition and without any outdoor seating available I think it's a rough time for them. However, right across the way is a little park with benches and a few tables, so you can sit and eat safely. I imagine they handle a lot of delivery and takeaway orders. Bottom line is the food is fresh, flavorful, and I'll be back for a good salad.

During my visit, I experience good customer service; employees are kind and helpful with navigating…read morethe menu. The Lentil Soup is a calm soup, not too salty, not too spicy, carrying natural lentil bean flavors, earthy and warm. The Naan is soft, savory, and like a tender fluffy pita bread with light seasoning. Aside from the meal, I think double checking utensils is so important in kitchen environments (where utensils are put to re-use). Thanks for being patient and understanding with my request to change spoons (the first time, in the photo, due to a food like stain, and the second time due to a dry dishwasher soap/milk like stain). Also, I think, if possible, replacing the fogging/smog-stainful-looking plastic like cups (for free water) with paper-like cups or by way of glass cups and metal-like pitchers may contribute to the eatery's ambience well. Down-to-earth vibes. The eatery has indoor and outdoor seating. The establishment accepts different forms of payment.

Stopped at Sweet Kitchen one evening after having dinner across the street. They have indoor…read moreseating, as well as some outdoor seating. There was a lack of friendly service. I saw the good reviews so I was disappointed when I received my desserts. Most of the cake slices were around $7, but when I asked for a cheesecake or pistachio one, one slice was $13 which I found to be expensive so I did not get that one. My friends and I decided on 3 cakes: strawberry, Oreo, and chocolate. I don't think I will ever be returning - the cakes tasted old. The best way to describe it was a like it came from a chain supermarket - lacking flavor and not up to fresh quality. The only one that was edible was the chocolate slice. We felt so bad to have to throw away the other two cakes, but they were not good at all. It was a waste of money to pay so much for a slice and not eat it.

This is a great spot to go because they have outdoor seating and I can eat with my dog in peace…read more I ordered the Cobb salad, which my fault but I should have asked for dressing on the side because it was definitely overdressed for my liking. The fries were nicely cooked and salted, but $8 was a lot for the amount given. $4 would have made more sense. And then yes, I'm even going to mention the iced tea. Because there are not very many restaurants I go to that offer a freshly brewed iced tea, which is one of my favorite drinks. It really makes the meal perfect and I appreciate a freshly brewed tea vs a canned one. Staff is nice and brought water for my dog too.

My daughter and I split the French toast which was excellent and the Eggs Benedict (with salmon instead of Canadian bacon) also excellent?!

It was soooo loud in the dining room that we had to yell at each other and repeat ourselves to understand each other?! The coffee was forty forevers coming to the table after we ordered....and then our meal as good as it was took forever to come out. A couple seated next to us came in after us but had their food and finished and were leaving when ours FINALLY came out of the kitchen :( IF we go again we will eat outside and only in good weather.

This establishment touts themselves as a healthy food restaurant, which they definitely have…read more However, they also have not so healthy items like an array of fried foods which are mostly on the kids menu. We tried a mango pineapple smoothie which is only made with almond milk. Unfortunately, with an almond allergy we asked them to use water only, so the consistency was different, but was still tasty. We also tried the crispy chicken wrap, Caesar salad wrap, grilled protein bowl, and a Dubai chocolate cheese cake. Everything was ok to good. It was all very fresh, but the steak in the protein bowl was chewy, some things lacked a little flavor, while others were very flavorful. So just a bit inconsistent. Service was friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself is intimate and cute. I would return if in the area, and try something different.

Stumbled upon this place from an instagram ad, and noticed it was close to my job. I came here for…read morelunch. Street meter parking is available. I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap, fries, and a soda. Everything came out to $20. The food came out relatively quickly. The wrap was good but the chicken was under seasoned. I wish it had more flavor. Other than that, everything was just ok.

Have been to zeugma on twice already, I am surprised I didn't write a review after the first time!…read more Our most recent trip did not disappoint either. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We had reservations on a sunday and due to unforeseen circumstances, we arrived 30 minutes early for our reservation. Despite this, we were seated immediately and our waters were filled as soon as we sat down. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, albeit a little dark in the evening. They do have a wine menu but they are also BYOB. Food: Started off with the grilled zataar pita bread and the hummus, and boy it did not disappoint. The pita was grilled but still so soft in the middle with a beautiful aroma from the spices and it tasted delicious. The hummus was also beautifully done and complemented the pita well, my only negative is i wish the pita was unlimited because it was SO good. Entree: Truffle Goat Cheese Wagyu Burger - Delicious, VERY rich but definitely a must have if you like goat cheese. Thankfully also with caramelized onions which give the burger a good sweetness. Beef Manti: These are so good that my wife and I tried to make them at home afterwards, but did not come out quite as delicious as they are at the restaurant. Definitely a must have. Would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an excellent dinner, date night, or an evening to spend with friends.

We tried the Antakya Hummus (Pine nuts, cucumber pickles, tomatoes, brown chili butter) and will be adding this to our list of favorite appetizers... So very good! The sea bass my wife and SIL were again, beautifully prepared and delicious as always, as were my lamb chops (Kuzu). While the lamb hummus was excellent, the miso calamari was.... not as tasty as I remember it. Different chef, different day... won't keep us from coming back soon.

The huge windows bring in so much natural light, and the cozy couch-style seating by the window made me want to stay for a while. The space is laid out really well--it feels open, comfortable, and inviting without being overwhelming. The staff was genuinely friendly. Order at the counter, someone checked in to make sure everything was going well, and another team member brought our food out. The service felt seamless, and I just felt good being there. I ordered the tuna melt, which was really good, and paired it with a chai latte. The chai had a stronger cinnamon flavor than I'm usually used to, but honestly, I enjoyed it. It paired really well with my meal, and by the end, I was glad I ordered it. The menu has so many options that I already know I need to come back. There were several dishes I wanted to try, and I also loved that they have pastries if you're just looking to grab something light with a drink or want a quick stop instead of a full meal. Another thing I appreciated is the location. It's surrounded by other businesses with a nice walkable area, so it's easy to make a morning or afternoon out of your visit. Even though I don't live in New Jersey, I'm already thinking about making another trip back. This feels like one of those places where you can meet a friend, get some work done, journal by the window, or have a casual meeting during a quieter time of day. The atmosphere is warm, comfortable, and welcoming, and their new space really reflects that. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

One word... WOW. The…read moreCorner in Upper Montclair has that rare mom-and-pop feel that immediately makes you feel welcome. It's cozy, genuine, and the kind of place where you can tell there's a lot of love going into what comes out of the kitchen. And speaking of that kitchen--you can see it from pretty much every seat in the house. Watching several cooks navigate what looks like an incredibly tiny space is almost mesmerizing. Somehow, they move around each other seamlessly, and the best part? The food comes out FAST. My wife went with the hummus, and it was creamy, flavorful, and delicious. But the surprise star on the side was the salted dried kale chip--such a simple little addition, but ridiculously good. Then came my pancakes. Out of this world. Small in diameter, but super thick, with a beautifully crispy exterior giving way to an interior that was fluffy, light, and airy. I've tried making this style of pancake at home countless times, and I still have absolutely no idea how to get that texture. The syrup and berries were the perfect finishing touches. Everything just worked. I've made and had soooo many pancakes in my life, and this is easily top 3 best. The Corner is the kind of place that makes you start planning your next visit before you've even left. I'll be dreaming about getting back to this Corner.

Unfortunately, something about it didn't sit right with my stomach, and the cheese tasted a little off to me. I also ordered a chai latte, but it was pretty plain.

Maybe the experience would have been different dining in, so I'd be open to trying them again and ordering something else next time.

Boorak is kinda like mozzarella sticks. It's has the crispy flaky skin of spring roll filled with cheese. Lahmajun is dough filled with ground beef, tomato and onion. The bread is soft and chewy. However a few bites in, I noticed the dough looks a bit undercooked. The filling has a bit sweetness to it and tanginess. Unfortunately, I moved too quick when taking the photo and I didn't capture the image of the Lahmajun. Fatayir is pie filled with spinach, lemon juice and onions. The lemon was a bit too overpowering for me. For the first entree, we got the Gyro Platter with side of Baba Ghanouj and Tabouleh. Baba Ghanouj is roasted eggplant with tahini and lemon. Indeed, it was very smoky in a good way. Tabouleh is parsley, tomato and onion. It's nice to pair it with my Gyro for some brightness to the dish. The second entree we got was the chicken sandwich. It was good. The sandwich is a bit heavy and dry because of the French fries. It didn't really come with sauce. I wanted to point out a few things. They never offered us water, but they did come to our table to see if we needed anything else. They have clean bathroom. There is free 1 hour street park. Overall, good experience and prices aren't too expensive.

Are you serious about your prices??? You don't even have the nerve to put them on your menus. I…read morewill NEVER patronize you! Update: Tiana: I never questioned the quality of your menus. What I have issue with is your lack of posted prices on your menu. I had to dig on the Net to find your menu prices. I shouldn't have to search for prices. I don't accept your excuse, it's not a valid reason for not being transparent with your pricing. Ninety-nine percent of restaurants publish prices on their menus or websites and their costs go up as well. But do they change their menus every time food prices fluctuate? NO! Since youre a franchise, perhaps your Corporate Office should examine their rationale for not showing prices on their menus. How would you like it if you walked into ABC Restaurant, ordered a chicken Caesar salad and got slapped with a $60 bill because the price was not listed? I'm sure you would have issue. In conclusion, your food looks appetizing, the prices are market priced; the only thing that prevents me from patronizing your restaurant is the lack of transparency on your menu. To me, that's a deal breaker.
