" Lisa's Mediterranean Cuisine is a top-notch restaurant for enthusiasts of Turkish and Mediterranean fare! I was particularly impressed by their grilled octopus; it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The service was prompt, and we never felt rushed, which allowed us to enjoy our time there. For dessert, we savored the kunefe, which was an indulgent treat. The ambiance was pleasant, making it easy to chat without raising our voices. Despite the prices being a bit higher, I felt the quality justified it. Overall, an amazing experience I'll be telling friends about! " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon Lisa's Mediterranean Cuisine while exploring Ridgewood, and I must say, it was a delightful surprise! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and offered us the specials of the day. We ordered the lamb kebabs and they were grilled to perfection—tender and bursting with flavor. The side of saffron rice complemented the dish beautifully. I can't forget to mention the baklava for dessert; it was the perfect sweet finish to our meal. Overall, this is a hidden gem worth checking out! I can't wait to come back and explore more of their menu. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is an absolute delight! The food is authentic and bursting with flavor, evident in their amazing kofta and chicken skewers. We shared a variety of appetizers, and each one was better than the last. The service was friendly and efficient, ensuring we never felt neglected. The ambiance was lovely and really enhanced the dining experience. Lisa herself came to greet us, which made us feel special. The only slight caveat was the wait time for our food, but it was worth it. Highly recommend for anyone seeking wonderful Mediterranean cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" tried Lisa's during a family reunion and thoroughly enjoyed it! The shared platters encouraged a warm atmosphere. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the manti and kofta, and each was delicious! The only small drawback was that the wait for food was a bit long, but we weren't in a hurry.

" Had a wonderful dining experience at Lisa's. The flavors are truly reminiscent of what you'd find in Turkey. I ordered the chickpea stew and grilled eggplant, which were both delicious and perfectly seasoned. The service was top-notch; our server was attentive without being overwhelming, and made excellent wine and meal pairings. The ambiance is cozy yet elegant with beautiful Turkish decor. The only slight downside was that the portions felt a bit small for the price we paid, but the flavors made up for it. I would absolutely return for another meal and would love to bring friends to share this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Lisa's Mediterranean Cuisine with a group of friends on a Saturday night. The ambiance was bustling yet intimate. The service was friendly and quick, but we did find it slightly challenging to get our server's attention when we needed to request additional drinks. However, the food was delightful! I particularly enjoyed the lamb shank, which was tender and richly flavored. The accompanying vegetables were perfectly cooked too. For dessert, we enjoyed the Turkish delight; it's a must-have! Overall, a great night with good food and friends, just a little patience was needed for service! " (*Curated Review*)
