Samdan Mediterranean Restaurant And Bar 178 Piermont Road, Cresskill, NJ 07626

"This place an absolute hidden jewel. Everything from the atmosphere to the food, was absolutely amazing and incredible. I felt I was at a fine dining restaurant, with amazing food and the service was like I was at my grandmothers, constantly feeding me and asking if I needed anything. We will be coming back, when you come seda welcomes you with an amazing smile and is ready to fit you in even if they’re fully booked, and mere the chef goes above and beyond with the food and it is soooo delicious. definitely order the khazandabi for dessert, and you’ll definitely be coming back again, like us! I wish I took a picture of the food but we literally licked the plate because of how good it was!"

"We decided to try this restaurant for mediterranean food and we ordered calf liver, cigar borek, their special octopus and Saslik. Calf liver was very tender and I think it was better than most places!! The special octopus and Saslik from the new menu are the best. The meat is very juicy and octopus is perfectly prepared. At the end of the meal, they served us apricot dessert. It was so delicious. So to finalize, we love all of the food, service and atmosphere. Will definitely be back again, thank you for everything!!"

"All around delicious food! Adana kebab is exceptionally delicious. Chicken shish was seasoned well and very tender. *** One big issue I had was the shepherd salad is not authentic. Since when is Italian dressing a part of Turkish Shepherd salad? Shepherds salad uses a lemon and olive oil dressing not this nonsense. It totally throws off the salad and the entire meal if you’re ordering it as a side for your kebabs. Please reconsider this . I hope management reads this review and stops adding Italian dressing to Turkish shepherds salad. Prices are a bit high and portions aren’t huge, but taste was very great. You could tell they use good quality meat . Toros in Clifton and Paterson make a dynamite Shepard salad and it’s not drowning in some ready made dressing that doesn’t go w the meal. This would have been a five star review if the salad was good. Ambiance is great, waitress was sweet and accommodating. We had a young male waiter who kept forgetting for the things we asked for “refills /straws, water” but when brought it was immediately rectified. Please fix the salad . Thank you !!!!"

"Came here with my wife to have a Iftar. The place is very welcoming. The staff is friendly and clean. I’ve been In Turkey several times therefore I’m familiar with their cuisine. This place is definitely reminds me the taste of Istanbul. Great job! Food was amazing!"
