"I have ordered and gone to mezah many times and I am always satisfied. today is the first time I was let down. The flavor was fantastic as always. However I built my own bowl and added extra meat and a side of falafel and this is my bowl (I mixed it up) I always add e tra falafel for $4 and get 4 today I got 2. the portion was half the sizes of my regular bowl yet I spent over $30. as mentioned it tastes amazing but just sad that I didn't receive my money's worth"

"I introduced Olives to my sister over the weekend. Big mistake! The secret is out. She won't stop raving about EVERYTHING she had. She said the egg sandwich (breakfast brioche) was THE BEST EGG SANDWICH she's ever had! And she's a big time foodie! We come from a long line of Italian chefs and all cook like them! So that's saying something. She also raved about their fries, which we stole from my husband (quick thinking!!). They also have the butter cookies of our youth. I love Olives and have been going there for years (specials, Caesar salad, rice pudding, ALL OF their Greek dishes, everything is wonderful!) but to see this new enthusiasm for someone trying it for the first time (which I'm honestly shocked she's never had it before through me) was so much fun. Try it. Enjoy it. You'll thank me later! 😉 OMG I ALMOST FORGOT!! She said the Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese was out of this world! The chicken was done perfectly, the perfect amount of Buffalo, the Mac and cheese perfectly creamy. I can't tolerate spice but I did try a small bite and it was definitely super yummy!"
"I was so disappointed in the Greek Salad. Both salads literally included only two cherry tomatoes cut in half, two slices of cucumber cut in half and four cubes of substandard Feta Cheese. The rest was Romaine lettuce. No wonder it was sold as "cheaper" than other Greek Salads in Princeton. We will not order from Olives again and we have been buying from them for twenty five years."

"The falafel salad was spicy, creamy and extremely flavorful. I loved the white, green and hot sauce. The falafel was savory and perfectly seasoned. The salad was extremely fresh. The pochakos were so deliciously seasoned and spiced. New fave!"
"This is the best platter spot ever everytime we get it's super fresh and hot. The proportions as always top tier giving us a lot of chicken and rice and the toppings.

"Every meal we've had a Franklin Park Diner has been delicious! With so many options, we always find what we want and love every bite! My chicken salad is delicious and so flavorful. My husband devoured his hamburger!!! I really look forward to our next meals at the Franklin Park Diner. "
"The fo is d here is generally quite good. It's typical diner fare, lots of options, reasonably prepared. The Cheeseburger Deluxe is always tasty, with a good sized burger patty and plenty of customization options. The Chicken Fingers Platter was also good, though I would have preferred it if the chicken fingers had some seasoning on them, but it'd be perfect for kids. The only thing I don't love as much is that they switched from thicker fries to thin shoestrings. They give you plenty, and they are well-fried, but I miss the fluffy potato insides with the crunchy exterior. I've been here many times, and I'll happily go back again. We didn't get any this time, but I want to call out their home-made cakes, pies and puddings. They are all really good if you're in the mood for something sweet after your main meal."

"This is the best halal place. The meat is great. They cust perfectly. I place orders a few times a week. Meat and chicken always fresh. "
"Here’s a clean, strong review you can post (you can copy-paste): ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Quality & Fresh Meat! Picked up ingredients here and prepared a full meal at home — goat mutton biryani, anda (egg) fry, and dry pepper chicken — and everything turned out amazing! The goat meat was fresh, tender, and perfect for slow cooking, which really enhanced the flavor of the biryani. The chicken boneless thighs were juicy and cleaned well, making the dry pepper chicken come out super flavorful. You can clearly see the quality in the final dishes — great cuts, fresh stock, and well handled. Definitely a reliable place for anyone looking to cook authentic, home-style meals. Will surely be coming back again!"

Home fries are excellent, bagel with turkey bacon isn't easy to find always and this was a very good one, generous amount of bacon, would definitely recommend giving this place a chance.

"This review is for breakfast. The portions are generous and filling. The breakfast sandwichs are filled with fresh ingredients. I would have liked to see the pork roll done a bit more so you get a bit of charring and extra flavor, but everything was hot and well-packed. "
"Pierre's is a staple of South Brunswick. Today we got an Chopped Antipasto Classic Italian Chef Salad, which was very tasty, but only comes with a tiny little container of dressing, so be sure to ask for more if you like dressing with your antipasto. The lettuce could have been chopped up more, though. The peppers were a standout. They are properly skinned and had plenty of flavor. The Roll with Butter was very good. It is a soft Kaiser style roll. We like that style compared to a typical hard Kaiser roll. The Cheesesteak w/The Works (Whole 14") was really good, though we would have liked a bit more cheese and meat than we got. The roll it was on was pleasantly soft and fresh. The meat was flavorful and well chopped. All-in-all, it was a good, freshly prepared meal. We'd certainly order from here again (as we have been for years)."
