Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in South River

Booked for a friend’s birthday and he was greeted with a handwritten birthday card. While ordering dessert we were torn between 2, ordered one but they provided us with both with a candle! Overall great dinner experience and would recommend for a special occasion. Great hospitality and would definitely return!

We and the misses have never experienced Lebanese cuisine prior to our Valentine’s Day (2025) visit, and Ilili did not disappoint! It was also our first time having caviar, truffles, tuna tartare and everything tasted simply divine. The courses were well paced and the choices were abundant, but not overwhelming.

The restaurant is exquisite and the service was fabulous. I highly recommend the breads & spreads, jibineh cheese, mushrooms, beets and eggplant to start. The octopus & steak skewers, the shish barak, the chicken and spaghetti. We had the cheesecake, baklava, and tiramisu. All ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was our second time to Casablanca. The food and the service are excellent.

Saying we had the best experience is an understatement. Jasmine went above and beyond to accommodate us. She helped me book my reservation, change it, and answered all of my questions as they arose. She added an additional person to the table at the last minute. When we arrived, everything was set up for us. She was patient and kind through the entire experience, ensured everything was accurate, and was very accommodating to our needs we had such as shutting the blinds so we could take pictures. Jasmine, thank you for all you did to make our experience with our grandmother so special. We will never forget today and we are so grateful for all of your hard work, patience, and kindness. I dine at Koy Grill often, but this experience was one for a lifetime.
