We went here for the first time for a late breakfast this morning. I had high hopes based on other reviews, but I don't think the restaurant delivers as well as it could.
We tried the avocado toast with lox and shakshuka. While they weren't bad, I expected more. With regard to the avocado toast, they did give a generous helping of lox which was nice, but the avocado on the toast wasn't seasoned at all so I added salt and pepper to liven it up. Also, for display, they slice and stack the toast against each other so the bottom gets soggy. It looks nice, but is messy to eat and loses the crispness.
The shakshuka wasn't bad, but was watery. The photos that others have posted are accurate and show what I mean about the display of the toast and texture of the shakshuka.
The atmosphere is nice, the staff is young and friendly but had to be found and flagged down later for the check and didn't make any eye contact after asking about our meal. When told the meal was "okay", they didn't seem interested in pursuing an...
Read moreThis place is such a welcomed addition to Westfield. The food is so fresh...and delicious featuring Mediterranean and American selections. The babaganosh is to die for; served with lightly toasted pita bread that's as equally delish. The avocado toast is filling and full of flavor...I've had it with the fried egg and the shrimp...can't go wrong with either. Tried the kofta which is like eating a gyro without the pita...also very fresh. My young daughter has had the chicken fingers and eggs from the kids menu...both a thumbs up from her...the hashbrowns are seasoned nicely. Save room...the baklava is to die for! The owners are very kind. Looking forward to enjoying many more meals here.
UPDATE: the breakfast here is outstanding. Met some family and enjoyed a wonderful meal. Eggs cooked to perfection, perfectly cooked home fries, falafel is on point and the coffee is delicious! The French toast specials are always...
Read moreI wish I could give them more than 5 🌟. The place is easily noticeable from a moving car, and tyne have free parking. This family owned business is one of the best local restaurants in NJ. Their home-made food quality is on top. Tyne staff (which some of them are the owners) are absolutely awesome. Prices are reasonable. They had an outdoor seating but it was off the day I went. From tyne specials menu, I ordered the Sphinx breakfast which was very good and my wife ordered the French toast that she said was very yummy. Everything tasted fresh, clean and like homemade. Ashraf (the owner) offered me an Egyptian traditional vegan dish called koshari that tasted amazing. I highly recommend this place and will definitely go back to try more items from their menu. Thanks for tyne...
