Cinar Turkish Restaurant 1

Went not to Cliffside Park but to 575 W.Mt Pleasant Ave in Livingston, located at the end of a small strip mall, a little “hole in the wall” great discovery!! 5 of us shared a truly fabulous dinner! We enjoyed the mixed appetizer platter, which had baba ghanoush, lebni, eggplant, etc with pita- every item was delicious!! Thoroughly recommend the chefs special Borden Colette with lamb, the eggplant in yogurt, the petite cigars of Borek with feta, the schwarma, and everything else we ate. The use of fine fresh ingredients and careful slow cooking of sauces with rich flavor enhanced every dish! We topped it off with the creamy rice pudding and outstanding baklava. Service was perfect. Run, don’t walk, to discover this secret gem of gastronomical delight!! 10 stars!!

The staff is very polite, very clean... good food, and they don't rush you out. Bring your friends, family and favorite wine...

First time at Cinar Turkish Restaurant and it did not disappoint... Yigit, our server recommended the perfect dish for first timer at a Turkish restaurant amd all the dishes were delicious. He even gave some Turkish coffee as a service for dessert. I would definitely come back here.

Cinar Restaurant truly feels like home. The food is authentic and full of flavor, just like in Turkey. The mezes are fresh and delicious, and the meats are tender and perfectly cooked. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel special from the moment you walk in. The cozy atmosphere and lovely decor create the perfect setting for a meal with family or friends. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to. Thank you for everything!

From the moment we walked into Cinar Restaurant, we were greeted with the warmest welcome by the owner, who truly makes you feel like a valued guest, not just a customer. The hospitality here is unmatched, it’s genuine, heartfelt, and sets the tone for an unforgettable dining experience.

A special shout-out to YIGIT and EYLÜL! Without a doubt, the best of the best! Their service was impeccable: attentive without being intrusive, friendly, and incredibly professional. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect from start to finish.

And the food? Exceptional! Every bite was bursting with flavor, fresh ingredients, and authentic Turkish flair. I’ve dined in Istanbul before, but somehow the dishes here were even better! Perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. From the appetizers to the main courses, everything was cooked to perfection.
