Chef Mediterranean restaurant in Cresskill, NJ, is an absolute culinary gem! The calf liver was a delightful treat, and the red caviar was simply the best I’ve ever tasted. I couldn’t get enough of the shepherd’s salad with shrimp – it was truly addictive!

A lovely Turkish food place that recently opened in town. So far we have almost tried all their dishes, their appetizers (mixed platters) are great and I believe they have the most delicious Donor (Giro) I ever tried in a Turkish restaurant in over 20+ years.

Ordered for the first time. We got the mixed platter so we could try a variety. All the meats were very tender and juicy. Rice was fluffy. Overall a great first experience and looking forward to trying more items from the menu. Many states food is halal.

We had a great lunch with friends and our kids at Chef Mediterranean. There are delicious options for everyone: vegan and gluten free options (I had hummus, baba ganoush, pepper walnuts salad, avoganush which is just brilliant – babaganoush with avocado, grilled vegetables, arugula salad and a farmers salad – and the best coconut sorbet for dessert);
