Samdan Restaurant

Good authentic Turkish food.

This is an excellent Turkish place in the north of Jersey. We first had babaganoush, hummus, shepherd's salad and falafel, everything was great and tasted fresh. For main course, the kofte was really good, though the rice portion was perhaps a bit big for the dish.

Finally, for the best part, the dessert was outstanding. If you're gonna have anything at all, go for the baklava.

Service staff was outstanding and though the place was really busy, we were well taken care of. I must also commend Juan for never missing a beat and working hard to clear tables and serving water in a very pleasant and professional way. Busboys are not always commended for their services but our group was impressed.

I can't think of any reason to go to Jersey other than to go here. You won't regret it.

Good food well managed

The best Middle Eastern food in NJ!! Mezzes are fabulous. The service and the owner is also!!

portions are huge and can usually serve 2 - so beware on ordering - try to look at the other tables to get a guage. menu is poor in describing the menu items. recipes appear authentic and family oriented. cold sparse dining room. hard to find a restaurant serving this cuisine so its worth going back. service minimal so be patient
