"I had a fantastic Roman veggie breakfast and will definitely be going back. The service was great as well. That was my experience eight months ago. However, I've returned several times since then, and the food has consistently rated about 8.5/10. Unfortunately, we've had the same server, Phyllis, on multiple occasions, and her service has been rather disappointing. She comes off as a bit careless and often forgets things, plus she doesn't acknowledge the generous tips we leave. I think it might be best for her to take a break."

"Overall, I had a great dining experience at this restaurant. The goat karahi was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. However, both the puri and meat samosa were quite greasy. The meat samosa appeared to be overcooked, resulting in a dry filling and excessive oil on the outside. The menu was extensive and impressive, with a variety of options to choose from. While I frequent Indian restaurants in the USA, I found this restaurant to be delicious but a bit too oily and heavy on the stomach."

"I had a reservation for 9:30pm, but arrived at 9:35pm to find a long line. The waitress entered us into the system at 9:45, but we continued to wait standing. Whenever I inquired about being seated, I was told we were next or that we could sit outside for a fee of $400. This was a place I used to frequent and recommend to others, but I was extremely disappointed with the service. We finally got a table at 11:45pm, but by then I was ready to leave, as most other restaurants would have been closed. I will not be returning."

"The menu is limited in buffet but the taste to each of its item is superb. All items both veg and non veg are awesome. Taste is just a replica of actual Indian food. Service is outstanding and members are polite. Will definitely recommend and ll come again."

"Jordan?s is always a great idea. I?ve been going for years and ordering their chicken cutlet sandwich for lunch; solid choice???????? I?ve also ordered their chicken souvlaki platters with fries on the side. The way they prep their fries is justaddicting and I can?t not finish my serving. Staff is wonderful, location is conveniently on the main road, and there?s enoughparking in the back ????????"

"The food is great but they often forget to send the Persian bread for which they charge a good bit extra (it is not included for to-go or delivery items). They did this to me again today and it just annoyed me. I am a regular customer, and I will go back, but they really need to correct this re-occurring issue!"

"We had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The food was top-notch, with a wide variety of vegetarian and vegan options available. We particularly enjoyed the hummus, fattoush, and the sea bass baked with fragrant herbs and spices. The service was friendly and the wine selection was impressive. Overall, it was a delightful neighborhood gem, conveniently located across from Symphony Space."

"The food is delicious and filling, and a great bonus is that you can get a lot of food for a relatively cheap price. I highly recommend trying the falafel pita combo with tahini on the side (it can get messy) and the crushed lentil soup. The fried cauliflower is also delicious and vegan-friendly. Please be aware that the smoothies contain honey, but they may be able to accommodate a request to omit it. They also offer vegan-friendly juices. Overall, a great spot to grab a satisfying meal."

"This is the second time we have eaten at Darya and we live 4 hours away. The first time we were looking for Armenian food on Open Table. It was soooooooo delicious and fun, we wanted to take our daughters. We finally got to come back and bring our daughters. They loved it as well. It is not overly seasoned. It’s very authentic. It is Persian food, rather than Armenian, but it is very similar. The portions are also very large. There was a guitarist on Friday night. They have different music on the weekend. We loved the ambiance the food and the service! There are white table cloths but it’s not a stuffy environment."

"I recently dined at Hummus with my team for dinner. The restaurant had a very nice decor and atmosphere. Our group of five found a suitable table, but I wouldn't recommend it for larger groups. We ordered at the counter and received our food quickly. We started with a sampler platter as an appetizer, which included 3 falafels and various dips. There was an abundance of dips in comparison to the falafels, but they were tasty and great for pairing with our main dishes. We also enjoyed some delicious tea to warm up on the cold night. I ordered the chicken kebab plate, which came with two skewers of chicken, salad, tzatziki, pita, and plain rice. It was filling and tasty, especially when paired with the dips from the sampler platter. Overall, everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. Parking was easy to find on a weekday night, right in front of the restaurant. The cashier was also friendly."

"I visited oozi (em karam) with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchild. The restaurant offers a fantastic variety of dishes and caters to all tastes. My daughter-in-law, who is more familiar with Mediterranean cuisine, helped me navigate the menu. We started with delicious Hummus-Eggplant Dip and a Mediterranean salad as appetizers, followed by a large and tasty sharing platter. The portions were so generous that we had leftovers to take home. I am already looking forward to my next visit!"

"The food here is mediocre, at best. The quality has steadily declined over the years. Unfortunately, the staff is generally unwelcoming and often rude. We made several visits to confirm it wasn't just a one-time issue, but it turns out it's a consistent problem. There are far better dining options available in Birmingham. I would not recommend this place at all. Updated from previous review on 2023-07-26."

"There were two men preparing the food and one of them was unmasked which was kind of surprising and has resulted in a four, rather than five star rating. As of February 28th masks in Illinois are optional, but it is not that day yet. On the other hand, the work surfaces looked clean and neat, the floors were clean and the drink cabinet was clean and orderly. No unpleasant odors and no signs of insects was always appreciated! Our cheeseburgers and other food were very good. We will continue to have food from this restaurant delivered or we will pick it up ourselves when we feel safer being out among unmasked people."

"that is a great place for Mediterranean food. it is overcrowded during lunch. there are many seats in the open, but the restaurant fills up quickly for lunch. eating is phenomenal. I had the chicken salad that comes with two sides of her choice. I took hummus and lentil soup. it was delicious. the portions are quite large and a great worth. this restaurant also offers a good selection of gluten-free meals. they take gluten allergies seriously and they can be sure that eating is prepared without gluten."

"I came across Mazzat while exploring Red Hook and decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised by the entire experience! I ordered the grilled half chicken, which turned out to be the best chicken I've ever had and a major reason why I enjoyed the restaurant so much. The waiter's recommendation was spot on! The service was excellent – the waiter was quick, friendly, and knowledgeable, making me feel very welcome. The only downside was the diet coke I was served had very little soda in it. Other than that, everything was fantastic, and I especially enjoyed the open layout of the restaurant that created a great atmosphere. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of food. This cuisine isn't typically my favorite, but I left very satisfied. Vegetarians will also find plenty of options here."

"First reason of complaint and I'll get right down to it. The only reason we came Here was for hooka. Huge disappointment. We ordered watermelon mint and strawberry gum. Both taste like crushed tea leaves. After 3 attempts of changing the flavors. We just gave up and asked for the check. They charged us for a bottle of wine when we only ordered 2 glasses. They finally fixed that issue .... They also add gratuity. So if you come here the food is great, service is great once they get to you. They were very helpful changing the flavors for us but it's not their fault that the tobacco may be old? I'm not sure what is happening. But none of it has any flavor. : sad because we would have paid more if it was what was being advertised. My partner and I just finished celebrating our wedding and had friends from the Middle East visiting and they were not impressed by the flavor.... A little embarrassing. Btw. Just look over your bill before paying. They added an extra 30 for a bottle of wine when we only ordered 2 glasses. They fixed the issue. But this can be easily overlooked.... The gratuity would have been higher for their effort but since they tried to get us twice with up charges, we kindly paid the bill and had to leave because it was underwhelming to say the least."

"We visit this restaurant at least 3-4 times a year because we have a large family and we love their food. However, our experience this time was disappointing. I've never been treated like this before; I had to ask the waitress multiple times to take our order, even though she was just standing around. The bread, which is usually amazing, was cold today. When I requested fresh bread instead, she completely ignored me. We also asked for water, but it took a long time to receive it. The food took a long time to arrive as well. Normally, I recommend this place to all my friends, but the service today was terrible and we felt largely ignored. I'm really upset about what happened."

"This is the best place to eat near the Rutgers campus and Easton Avenue! The food is fantastic—fresh and delicious. The owners and staff are always friendly, and the prices are reasonable for such authentic cuisine. You really can't ask for more. I highly recommend the Gyro Sandwich; it’s not too gamey at all. The Sutlac is amazing—trust me, you have to try it! And don’t forget the baklava; those little pastries are delightful! Everything here is so healthy, too!"

"Great place for a date. Beautiful atmosphere. Best Mai Tai I've ever had. I loved the belly dancer!! The servers weren't very attentive. We had to ask twice for almost everything we ordered. And they didn't check on us once. Although the charcoal guy was on top of his game, keeping our hookah hot. My biggest complaint is that we weren't told gratuity was included so we ended up tipping almost 50% which they definitely didn't deserve."
