This place has some very delicious drinks but I didn't like the attention of the waiters towards me very much, one of my drinks arrived all spilled dirtying the whole table and the waiters left them like that, thinking about what to order they started talking to each other and making faces, the terrible music, I can't communicate with my colleagues or spend a pleasant moment without murmuring

Our experience at Aura Lounge was absolutely AMAZING! From beginning to end, everything exceeded our expectations. Max and Tatiana were exceptional! Their professionalism, attentiveness, warmth, and outstanding customer service made our evening truly unforgettable. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed, comfortable, and taken care of. You can genuinely tell when people love what they do, and Max and Tatiana are the perfect example of that. The atmosphere, the service, and the overall experience were simply phenomenal. 100/10 — without a doubt! Thank you, Max and Tatiana, for making our night so special. Aura Lounge is lucky to have such incredible people representing them. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend! ❤️✨

Hookah was great and the drinks we had were very extravagant in presentation. When we sat down, a cockroach started crawling across the wall next to us and my husband had to remove his shoe to kill the roach while our server watched. Staff did not offer anything to try and remedy our experience.

Had an amazing experience at Aura Lounge celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday last night! Zeynel was absolutely fantastic and made sure we had a great experience from start to finish. His service was exceptional, he was attentive, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make the evening special. It’s always nice when someone takes the time to make an occasion feel memorable. We truly appreciate Zeynel’s hospitality and will definitely be back. Highly recommend asking for him if you visit Aura Lounge!

I don’t usually write reviews but I need to for this place. DO NOT waste for your time on coming to eat here. I came here to celebrate my 25 birthday after I found this place on instagram. I was disappointed, entree I got was mid asf, tasteless even. Service was fine but like I said I came to celebrate my birthday, when they brought out the birthday dessert they just handed it to me. No celebratory birthday song was sang to me, no sparkles like I saw other customers receive etc. When I questioned my dinner party they said it would be another $90 charger on top of our already almost $300 bill. Just for them to sing to me?? Mind you they added a 18% “service fee” that they claimed wasn’t included tip, (so the expected another 20% on top for their tip) ridiculous. The place itself was nice and the vibes were there, drinks were good and so were appetizers but as for the main courses that was a no. So if you looking to celebrate something here with good eats and a celebratory gesture, go somewhere else :)

Gorgeous establishment. Wish I was more hungry to try more food. They even played good music. Vibes were immaculate but the check came and our server Esteban then informs us that there is a mandatory 18% service charge and none of it goes to the waiter only the busboy, bartender and hookah attendant (basically saying we have to tip more). I didn't realize we're in NYC or Las Vegas or had a large party, it was only 2 of us. I would have been fine with the 18% auto-grat but however why did the server feel the need to basically tell me the customer that? What am I, in charge of payroll? I worked in restaurants too.... it's standard that the tip gets split between the team members of wait staff usually. But to tell me, you as the server, collect my money, give it all away and keep none for yourself sounds like a lie. I hope this isn't the standard practice at this place because I had a really good date and I would like to go back.

It's a fantastic place. Mr. Zeynel is a wonderful waiter. The wet baklava and Turkish tea are amazing. It's a very nice place. Oh my God, why didn't I see this place before? The hookah is very good.

when we first walked in there was already a situation with our seating. we were 5 and we made a reservation for 5. they wanted us to sit in a 4 people table and went back and forth with us that it would fit. the girl with the long black thin hair was the rudest ever. smacked the table next to us to ours and threw the card for how many people at the table and then told us TWICE we have only a limit of 2 hours. MIND YOU she said in-front of us there were people there for 4 hours and they couldn’t tell them to leave and it was OUR table. the food was so mid honestly save ur money. service was bad and management was bad. not only her but the rest too

We had our Miss Ukrainian New Jersey brunch at Aura Lounge, and it was such a wonderful experience! 💐🇺🇦 The space was absolutely beautiful and elegant, making it the perfect setting for our event. The food was amazing—everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. The staff was incredibly professional, attentive, and warm, making sure our group was taken care of throughout the entire brunch. They were so accommodating and helped everything run smoothly from beginning to end. We truly appreciated the hospitality and attention to detail. Thank you to the entire Aura Lounge team for helping make such an important day for our Miss Ukrainian NJ contestants feel so special and memorable. We would absolutely recommend Aura Lounge for brunches, celebrations, and private events!

Had a wonderful breakfast at this Turkish restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and there was so much of it—we couldn’t even finish half! The place was very clean, chic, and welcoming. Our server, Umut, was super nice and attentive. We also appreciated being able to pray there, which made the experience even more special. At one point, the windows opened and gave us the lovely feeling of being both inside and outside. Overall, a beautiful experience and we’d definitely come back! The only suggestion I would make is to find a way you keep the tea hotter!

Exceptional!!! Aura Lounge is a beautiful restaurant that delivers both style and substance. The decor is absolutely stunning, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere, and the large, comfortable dining room makes it an ideal spot whether you’re planning a casual dinner or celebrating a special occasion. We ordered two of pasta dishes and both were outstanding, perfectly prepared, full of flavor. The beverage selection was equally impressive. We tried two of their many lemonades, which were refreshing and unique, along with a hot tea and one of their mocktails. Every drink and mocktail was thoughtfully prepared and complemented the meal perfectly (they are BYOB) From the elegant ambiance to the quality of the food and drinks, Aura Lounge offers a well-rounded dining experience that feels both relaxing and memorable. It’s definitely a restaurant worth visiting if you’re looking for great food in a beautiful setting.

Aura Lounge is truly one of the best restaurants I’ve visited in Clifton. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the beautiful décor, elegant atmosphere, and warm hospitality. The ambiance is upscale yet comfortable, making it the perfect place for any occasion. Whether you’re planning a birthday celebration, private event, family gathering, date night, or simply looking for a great spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Aura Lounge is an excellent choice. The restaurant has a sophisticated and welcoming vibe that makes every visit feel special. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of amazing flavor. You can really tell they take pride in the quality of their ingredients and the care they put into every meal. The service was attentive, friendly, and made our experience even more enjoyable. One of the biggest surprises was the pricing. Considering the quality of the food, the exceptional service, and the luxurious atmosphere, the prices are very reasonable and offer great value. I highly recommend Aura Lounge to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Clifton. It’s a place you’ll want to visit again and again, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Five stars without a doubt! ★★★★★

I recently visited Aura Lounge in Clifton, New Jersey, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The restaurant has a beautiful, modern atmosphere that feels both upscale and inviting. Whether you’re planning a date night, celebrating with friends, or just looking for a great place to enjoy dinner and cocktails, the ambiance alone makes it worth visiting. The music, lighting, and attentive service created an experience that felt elevated from start to finish. We began with a couple of cocktails, and both were expertly made and beautifully presented. They paired perfectly with our appetizers, especially the Crispy Zucchini, which was light, crunchy, and served with a delicious dipping sauce that added just the right amount of flavor. The Crispy Calamari was another favorite crispy without being greasy, tender inside, and seasoned perfectly. For the main course, the Shrimp Linguine was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The shrimp were fresh and cooked perfectly, while the pasta had a silky sauce that wasn’t too heavy. We also ordered the Steak Aura, which arrived cooked exactly to our preference. It was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, making it one of the highlights of the meal. The Truffle Rigatoni was another standout, with a creamy sauce and a balanced truffle flavor that complemented the pasta without overpowering it. To finish, we couldn’t skip dessert, and the Milk Baklava was absolutely worth it. It offered a unique, creamy twist on the classic baklava while still keeping those traditional flavors everyone loves. It was rich, satisfying, and the perfect way to end the evening. Overall, Aura Lounge delivers much more than just great food it offers a complete dining experience. The combination of delicious Mediterranean-inspired dishes, handcrafted cocktails, exceptional service, and a stylish atmosphere makes it one of the best restaurants in Clifton, New Jersey. If you’re searching for a restaurant in North Jersey that offers amazing food, beautiful presentation, and an upscale lounge vibe, I highly recommend giving Aura Lounge a try. It’s definitely a place I’ll be coming back to.

Went with a large group and ordered various items off the menu, most of which were quite good. Food presentation was creative and fun! Service was good, various staff members checking in with us throughout the dinner (we were a fairly large party). Music could have been a little better to suit the atmosphere. Overall a fun place for a group dinner with friends!

I came here to celebrate the holidays with a large group, and I’ll start by saying the space itself is beautiful. The interior is modern, the atmosphere is great, and the overall vibe is definitely appealing. The menu is extensive, which gave me high expectations going in. We came for an early dinner around 4 PM on a Saturday, so seating was easy to get, though I’ve heard it gets very crowded later at night. It’s clearly one of those trendy lounge style spots that are popping up in the area, great for photos, a more upscale alternative to a typical bar or club, and very much geared toward a certain social scene. Menu was confusing to navigate around and we were provided 2 iPads for our whole table so that was annoying. Unfortunately, the biggest issue was the food. Since we were a group of 10, we ordered a wide variety of dishes, and almost everything fell flat. The appetizers were extremely bland, borderline inedible, and the pizza was easily the worst of the bunch. The main courses were slightly better but still underwhelming, lamb chops were horrible too. What really stood out was that, despite having some big eaters in the group, hardly anyone touched their food. That says a lot. We ended up taking home around 10 containers simply because no one wanted to keep eating. The dishes looked good visually, but the flavor just wasn’t there. There’s also a $90 per person minimum, which is steep, though we ended up spending well beyond that anyway. The pricing overall is very high, but I understand the target audience, this is the kind of place people go to spend, impress chicks, and enjoy the atmosphere. In the end, while the ambiance was excellent, the food did not live up to expectations, and it felt like money wasted.

I went to lunch Friday at 11:45am and had a great experience. The service was always with a smile, staff is super respectful and the food was delicious. The atmosphere is beautiful, everything is clean, organized and well decorated. If you haven't been here, it's a must try. The restaurant comes from Dubai and is extremely interesting. The flatbreads, soups, egg dishes are all delicious. The manager also recommended coming back for live saxophone and BYOB. I haven't gone yet but look forward to checking out the night scene.

Aura Lounge is an absolute gem! From the moment we walk in, the sophisticated atmosphere and chic decor set the perfect tone for a memorable night out. The ambiance strikes a beautiful balance between high-energy and relaxed luxury, making it ideal for both intimate drinks and lively celebrations. The mocktails are masterfully crafted, featuring unique flavors and top-tier presentation. What truly stands out, however, is the impeccable service; the staff is attentive, welcoming, and ensures every guest feels like a VIP. If you’re looking for a spot with great music, stunning vibes, and a touch of class, Aura Lounge is a must-visit!

One of the best places for atmosphere and vibe, super aesthetic. The food isn’t as amazing as the place itself, but it’s not bad at all. The vibe alone keeps me coming back again and again, though a little improvement in taste would make it perfect. Still giving it 5 stars because maybe I just have higher expectations from this place.

An amazing night from start to finish at Aura Lounge. The DJ was fantastic, setting the perfect vibe and keeping the energy high all night—great music, great flow, and exactly what you want from a lounge experience. The food was just as impressive. Everything we tried was flavorful, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented—from the tender grilled meats to the comforting, rich dishes that felt both elevated and satisfying. The cocktails were fun and well made, adding even more to the overall experience. The hookah was excellent—smooth, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, which really completed the experience. Between the music, food, hookah and atmosphere, Aura Lounge absolutely delivered. Perfect spot for a night out with great vibes and great food. Definitely deserving of five stars

I visited this Restaurant with my wife over the weekend. On weekends, they have a minimum charge of $90 per person, so for two people we had to order at least $180 worth of food. If you don’t reach that amount, they still charge the full $180, which is something to be aware of(this is not something they have mentioned in their policy) That said, the food was very good and we really enjoyed our time there. The portions are generous—honestly, one dish can be enough for up to three people. The quality and taste of the food made the experience enjoyable. I would definitely go again, but I’d choose a weekday next time to avoid the higher minimum charge. Overall, a great place with good food, just better to plan your visit wisely.

Stepping into Aura Lounge is an experience in itself. The name truly says it all; the ambiance created here is absolutely perfect and immediately sets this spot apart. The decor is chic, elegant, and modern, blending beautiful design elements with warm, intimate lighting. It’s a space that feels both exclusive and welcoming, making it ideal for a romantic date or a night out with friends. The atmosphere is top-notch—it truly feels like a lounge experience. If you’re looking for a place with incredible food and exceptional hookah, the sophisticated and cozy aura is the reason you’ll want to return again and again.

Went to celebrate my sister in law birthday! We had so much fun and the food was delicious. One of the serves was very attentive with our group. At the end of the dinner we had some fruit as a restaurant courtesy. Loved it! Also this place well decorated and located. You can bring your drinks.
