I recently visited Fresh & Co. in Newark, hoping for a quick and tasty lunch. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory, leaving me with a strong feeling of disappointment. The food was simply lackluster, lacking the vibrant flavors I expect, especially considering the prices they charge. It felt like they were cutting corners on ingredients and seasoning.
My biggest complaint is the Chicken Shawarma. As someone who has enjoyed shawarma many times, I can confidently say this was the worst I've ever tasted. It bore little resemblance to authentic shawarma. The chicken was bland and seemed to have been seasoned with nothing more than chili powder and salt. There was no depth of flavor, no aromatic spices, nothing that even hinted at the deliciousness a good shawarma should deliver. It was incredibly disappointing.
Beyond the poor taste, the portions were also shockingly small for the price. I left feeling hungry and ripped off. The value for money is simply not there. When you combine the bland food, small portions, and high prices, it's clear that Fresh & Co. is not delivering.
If you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal, I strongly recommend avoiding Fresh & Co. in Newark. There are plenty of other options in the area that offer better food, better value, and a much more enjoyable dining experience. Save your money and your taste buds – go...

It tastes nothing like tahini. Last time I figured it was a mistake, so today I specifically mentioned to the server to make sure it was tahini, and the woman confirmed it was, but it sure tastes like Italian dressing to me. I guess I need to order something else next time; but I think I probably just won't be back. I used to get this salad all the time and it always had normal tasting tahini. I don't know...
Read moreExtremely Disappointed with Crispy Chicken Sandwich I ordered the Crispy Chicken Sandwich and was utterly disappointed. For $12.75, I expected the sandwich to be made as described on the menu, which prominently features sundried tomato pesto and artichokes. However, upon receiving my order, neither of these ingredients was present. Instead, I was left with a basic, and frankly underwhelming, crispy chicken sandwich. The advertised flavors that drew me to this particular item were completely absent, making the meal feel overpriced and a complete...
