★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I was absolutely famished and didn’t even stop to take a photo of the main course before devouring it — but trust me, the food here is delicious. The portions are generous, the service is immaculate, and the staff couldn’t be more hospitable. Everything was fast, smooth, and done right.You’re greeted with a huge, fluffy, piping hot bread (careful, it really is hot!) that sets the tone. I ordered the Adana kebab, and it was fantastic — juicy, flavorful, and authentic. It came with rice, salad, grilled vegetables, and two sauces, making it a complete and satisfying meal. Truly great value.The place itself is very nice inside, but I chose to sit outside and enjoy the sunny afternoon. Loved the experience, and I’ll definitely be back soon with more pictures — it won’t be long 😁
September 02 · Moti KahiriAntioch Restaurant is an absolute local gem! From start to finish, the experience was flawless—warm and prompt hospitality, cozy ambiance with beautiful photos and scenes from Turkey, and food that’s unforgettable.We started with the Fried Calamari—crispy, golden, and perfectly seasoned. The Avocado Salad and Antioch House Salad were fresh, colorful, and full of flavor. For mains, the Chicken Alfredo was creamy and rich, the Fettuccine & Salmon in Vodka Sauce was delicate yet decadent, and the NY Strip Steak was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Pairing everything with a smooth glass of Merlot was the perfect touch.Desserts were showstoppers—the Warm Chocolate Brownie Cake with Ice Cream was indulgent and comforting (all time favorite warm brownie ever!!!) , the Kunefe was new to me and was crispy, cheesy, and sweet in the best way, and the Tartufo was a refreshing, elegant finish.Every dish exceeded expectations. Eugene and his team go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and satisfied. Antioch is a must-visit for anyone who loves great food and outstanding service. We can’t wait to return! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
September 05 · Mia JosephinaVery good food! We went with a group of 10 and the service was great and so was the food. I enjoyed the lamp cube pizza. the filo dough filled with feta was great! the balloon bread was key when u first sit down. Shish kabobs had lots of flavor! Definitely a good deal and byod. Highly recommend
August 04 · bob mThis was some of the best food, and definitely the best Mediterranean food, I've ever had. My fiance and I stopped at this place late one night since it was one of the few places in the area open past 9:30pm, and we were really blown away by how incredible the food was here. The food was authentic, very high quality, and prepared with care and attention to detail. We ordered the shepherds salad, falafel entree, adana kebab entree, and had bread as an appetizer. All the dishes we had were incredible. Great preparation, great use of spices and fresh herbs. The falafel I had was by far the best falafel I've ever had, so crunchy on the outside and smooth and moist on the inside. We both loved the rice which was perfectly cooked and had a delicious buttery flavor, and the salad was incredibly flavorful and refreshing. The service was also wonderful and the 2 people tending to us throughout the meal were very friendly and prompt. The prices were also extremely reasonable, especially considering how beautiful the restaurant was and how incredible and high quality the food was. Highly recommend checking this place out, and we definitely plan to make it a regular spot for us!
May 12 · Nikki RossGreat food and service. Also ambiance is fabulous. It’s a BYOB Bar so we are able to have our cocktails with our alcohol and more affordable.
