"There are so many reasons why I go to Mariners Cafe almost every single day. The coffee and lattes are so amazing here, and they have some of the best banana bread that I’ve ever had! I also had my sister come out to visit, and when I took her to Mariners Cafe, she mentioned that the breakfast sandwich here was the best breakfast sandwich that she’s ever had too!Everything is made fresh and tastes absolutely amazing. I also never have to wait long at all for my coffee or food. I often put my coffee order in online as I’m walking up to the cafe, and it’ll be sitting and waiting for me on the counter by the time I walk in the door! The pizza is another favorite of mine, and they have lots of delicious salad options to go along with it.The amazing coffee and food is one thing, but the staff here is absolutely phenomenal! Rosa goes so far above and beyond! She always remembers the names of my kids, and goes out of her way to say hi to us and make us feel so special whenever we come in. Rosa even surprised both of my kids with gifts one day at the cafe after she heard that my daughter was born. That meant so so much to me!And no matter how busy they are in there everyone makes an effort to say hi to us and ask how we’re doing. I can’t thank the staff here enough for how special they make my son feel just by saying hi to him and remembering his name.I highly recommend Mariners Cafe, and getting to know the staff here is an added bonus. Everything from the food to the customer service is the absolute best! And a huge thank you to Mariners Cafe for all of the amazing coffee, food, and wonderful hospitality!

"Visited Sigri for lunch with a group of friends from work. It is one of the newest restaurants around in Newark at Rutgers campus and has become pretty popular in short time. The restaurant can be dubbed as an Indian Chipotle serving awesome food with great ambience, quick service and reasonable pricing. The staff was very friendly and suggested me the choice of sauce for the meal. It may get a bit crowded during lunch hours, but the lines move pretty fast and there is ample seating as well. They also have an open bread kitchen where one can see live Naan making in the Indian ovens called tandoor. The menu was very simple and had great choices for each course of the meal. I found the place pretty vegetarian friendly. For each order you can choose between bowl, roti or platter type. For platter pick a choice of rice, protein, sauce, naan bread, kachumbar (salad) and chutney. It also comes with a Samosa on the side. This may seem a lot of things to pick but it was simple and definitely worth it. Vegetarians can choose between Grilled Vegetables (vegan option) or Paneer for their choice of protein. I wish the amount of sauce served could have been a bit more, found it a tad less for the entire meal. Overall, I have found the food very flavorful and tasty. Recommendations: Rice bowl Rice: Sigri Rice Protein: Paneer Sauce: Butter (Rich tomato and onion based sauce) or Vindaloo (Spicy sauce option) Naan: Garlic Naan Kachumbar/Salad: Cucumber and Radish (Light, refreshing and pairs well with spicy curries) Chutney: Mango Cilantro Sweet and tangy sauce to cut the richness of the meal) Lassi: Mango Lassi FYI, one can also order the food online on their app and skip the line to save some time. Summary: A must try place in Newark area close to the Rutgers campus for some great Indian food and quick lunch."
