Afiyet Restaurant

OMG this place is amazing! Just like a lokanta in Turkey which offers lots of options. We got an eggplant dish and another one with well seasoned white beans. Both were super delicious. Each order also came with either a salad or yogurt with dill as well as Turkish rice (pilav). Even the bread was great as it was warmed up. Super hospitable service too from the staff who offered us Turkish tea just like in Turkey. They also had lots of authentic desserts including candied pumpkin but I was too full to try. Can't wait to come back!

Incredibly authentic Turkish cuisine that truly stands out in the local food scene. I had the lamb wrapped in roasted eggplant—the meat was exceptionally tender, literally falling off the bone, and perfectly complemented by the sweetness of the roasted peppers and tomatoes. A one-of-a-kind find if you're looking for the real deal.

We ordered our food to go, and it was delicious — just like homemade cooking. Everything tasted fresh and comforting. The people were very nice and friendly, making the whole experience even better. Great place for a tasty meal! P.S. sorry about the picture, we very hungry.

Afiyet is such a welcome addition to Cliffside Park. The food - buffet platter style - is flavorful, fresh and homemade. We had stuffed peppers, okra and eggplant. Desserts are also homemade and I especially enjoyed the pumpkin.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Afiyet Restaurant in Cliffside Park. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, and the service was exceptional. Our server, Eda, was incredibly attentive, kind, and knowledgeable about the menu—she made the whole meal even more enjoyable. The food was outstanding. The kuru fasulye was rich, comforting, and perfectly seasoned—exactly the kind of traditional flavor you hope for. The lahana dolması was another highlight: tender cabbage rolls filled with perfectly balanced spices and a delicious, home-cooked. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommended.
