Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Phillipsburg, New Jersey

The food was incredible! Our server, Abigail, was great. The service gets a low rating because of how the older man whose role I still don’t know, inserted himself and treated her. Upon checking in, Abigail was taking us to our seats when he quickly snatched the menus out of her hand, walked my wife and I back to the front of the restaurant, and said “she doesn’t know what she’s doing, you wait for me to seat you.” It was an absolute shock to witness and experience. After a few minutes, he then proceeded to sit us where Abigail was set to sit us, and right in front of us, he told her “now I have to sit them because of you.” It was an absolute embarrassment. He has no respect for the employees or guests.

Great meal. A welcome addition to the Ave. Good service

I have dietary restrictions (no garlic, onion, etc. This being a mediterranean restaurants most items have garlic. After explaining my situation, they were very accommodating. Bronzino with no garlic, special rice, plain salad. The food was delicious and good size portions. My daughter had the braised beef and my husband has the kofte. Family run, warm and welcoming. Do make a reservation as the restaurant is quite small and seating could be limited particularly o the weekends.

Very friendly staff. The specialty rices are excellent and the kebabs are seasoned and cooked wonderfully. I have never had such a moist, flavorful chicken kebab.

We will be sure to stop in here next time we are in East Brunswick. This is great food - seriously, I'm not exaggerating - which we didn't expect to find in this area. We just stumbled over it, were just looking for decent food at a good price near our hotel. What a find! We will be back next time we come down from Boston, which should be no later than Thanksgiving.
