★★★★☆ 4.0 Lisa Zhang · Feb 2026

Came here for valentines and the service was great! They gave a rose to every female patron, how thoughtful. We ordered the manti and lamb Adana and shish combo. The manti was unique and flavorful I don't think I've have a Mediterranean ravioli before. The shish was a bit lackluster but the Adana was flavorful and tender. I think the portions sizes are a bit small for the price, it's nice they give free pita but they could give more protein. For dessert we ordered the kazandibi, which tasted like a smooth rice pudding. We don't normally get dessert but I've been wanting to try the kunefe and it did not disappoint. Crispy noodles soaked in sweet syrup and topped with nuts. The desserts are on the sweeter side but not unbearable.

I visited Namli today for a late lunch, and everything was amazing! The interior is super clean and beautifully done. The employee was incredibly helpful when it came to deciding what to order. For appetizers, we got the hummus, tzatziki, and falafel—everything was delicious. They also give you a side of “mommy’s sauce,” and omg… it was soooo good mixed with the hummus. It’s a secret family recipe made by the owner herself, which makes it even better! For the entrée, we ordered the mixed grill platter. My favorite meats were the gyro slices and the beef cubes. The beef cubes were perfectly seasoned—seriously next level. The rice underneath all the meat was also excellent and packed with flavor. Will definitely be back!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Amitabh Patil · Dec 2025

I recently dined at a wonderful family-owned Mediterranean restaurant, and it was an absolute delight. You can immediately taste the love and tradition in every dish—clearly rooted in their own treasured family recipes. The flavors are authentic, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. The standout for me was the kebabs. Juicy, tender, and seasoned to perfection, they’re easily some of the best I’ve had anywhere. Each bite showcases the kind of craftsmanship that only comes from generations of culinary passion. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and genuinely friendly service make the experience even better. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home while serving exceptional Mediterranean food, this gem is a must-visit.

We had an incredible first-time experience at Namli in New Brunswick! From the moment we walked in until the time we left, everything was beyond our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Our server, Sara, was amazing—attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. She really added to what turned out to be a memorable visit. This is truly a must-visit spot in New Brunswick. Great job to the entire team!
