They don’t provide an itemized bill, charge a service fee, and still expect you to leave an extra tip. This is misleading and unfair to customers. I feel like they’re taking advantage of people. I would not recommend them

We came here to celebrate my best friend’s birthday, and it made the occasion even more special because this was a restaurant he grew up going to as a kid. Amazing food, beautiful atmosphere, and genuinely some of the sweetest staff! They surprised my friend with a platter of Turkish desserts and a birthday candle, completely unprompted. Turkish hospitality is no joke. Came for dinner, left feeling like family. 10/10 ❤️

We stumbled upon this place by accident and boy it did not disappoint. The staff was fantastic and the food was delicious. Everything we tried was amazing! We have been back a second time on our way to the AC/DC concert and again, everything was amazing! You absolutely need to give this place a try.

I’ve been coming to this place for over 10 years, and they never disappoint! The food is always fresh, and I’ve tried almost everything on the menu. I especially love their sweets! The staff is super polite and welcoming. I always bring friends from different states to try the Turkish food, and they always love it. Wishing them the best! Note: This applies to all their locations I’ve visited!

Food is unfortunately terrible. Clearly compromising on taste to make a margin. Doesn’t taste anything like authentic Turkish. Atmosphere and design of the restaurant is very lovely but won’t be going back.

Their food is beyond amazing. They season the Mediterranean food so well. I'm Egyptian, so I know what I'm talking about. My teta makes everything so much better, but their right underneath my teta. The kofta and the meat is so juicy. The decorations are awesome and they even have a downstairs for parties. I think that the bathrooms downstairs are a little too small because the ceiling is so low. I'm 6'3, so I have to bend down. Overall, I recommend coming here 100%.

Our experience eating at Toros was great. There's 15 of us and we were seated downstairs. Got there 15 min earlier but they let us sit at our table already. The ambiance is amazing, the people who worked there are all nice and accommodating. Food is good.While sitting at the table waiting for the rest of the group to arrive our waiter offered if we wanted to order some drinks. Our group decided to order the pre fixed dinner menu II for $45/p and it was a lot of food. Our waiter and the other guy serving us are very attentive to our needs. Nothing bad to say about this restaurant. Everything was on point. Thinking of going back with my family.

I stopped in with a few women I know. When I arrived I parked in the private lot. I walked in and was greeted and sat. The restaurant was spacious and I liked the decor. We were served by a nice young lady. I ordered the pinot nior which I enjoyed. The girls ordered the Babaganaush and Hummus for appetizers and they liked it. For entrees the chicken and the lamb and okra. I liked the lamb and okra! All in all a good experience!

Recommend the lunch menu for value and variety. Also good for a trial if you aren't familiar with Turkish food. Atmosphere is casual with higher-end decor.

“Absolutely amazing experience at Toros Restaurant! My wife had the Calves liver and I tried the döner — both dishes were bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The warm, welcoming atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable. Truly one of the best dining spots around — highly recommend to anyone!”

This was our first time visiting this Turkish restaurant and it definitely didn’t disappoint. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the beautiful decor and warm, friendly staff. As soon as we were seated, they brought us water and a delicious complimentary bread — a great start! We were a group of five and opted for the lunch special, which includes a soup or salad, an appetizer, and an entrée. I chose the lentil soup — it was rich, comforting, and full of flavor. For the appetizer, I went with the hummus, which was smooth, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. My entrée was the chicken with rice, and it was outstanding — juicy, well-seasoned, and beautifully cooked. Service was excellent; the staff made sure our water glasses were always full, and everything was spotless. Bonus points for having parking, which made the experience even more convenient. All in all, this place impressed us from start to finish. Can’t wait to come back!

We stopped here for the lunch special for 17.99...wow, the house salad with feta was delicious with just the right amount of dressing. I also got the humus and chicken kabob with two types of rice, both had amazing flavor and the fresh bread they serve is scrumptious. The portions were generous, I had to get a to go box. The baklava was a little too sweet for me, but still good. Our waitress, Anna was attentive and helpful with menu choices. If you're passing through NJ, give this place a try...you won't be disappointed!
