★★★★★ 5.0 Helen Pogogeff · Mar 2026

We have been coming to Samdan for many years and it continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in Cresskill. The food is always consistently excellent — authentic Mediterranean and Turkish cuisine with wonderful flavor and quality ingredients. The grilled meats are always perfectly prepared, the salads are fresh, and the warm bread is delicious. The new ownership has beautifully elevated the decor, creating a more modern and inviting atmosphere while preserving the warm spirit of the restaurant. It’s wonderful to see such a long-standing neighborhood favorite continue to thrive. A great choice for anyone looking for authentic Mediterranean dining in the Cresskill area. Ps Didn’t add pictures because we ate everything already🤣

The food is solid. Hummus and Adan Kebab were the stars. Baba ghanoush and Lamb Kebab were also quite tasty. I thought the tzatziki was a bit mint forward for my liking (prefer the garlicky kind more) but it was good. Also loved the mixed pickles which is a nice balance to the richness of the other dishes. Had lunch, but feels like more of a dinner restaurant. Would be a good place to host a reception. Prices for lunch could be more friendly but otherwise I would recommend.

We had an amazing experience here! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, and the service was excellent. A special thank you to Aslı — she was so kind, attentive, and made our evening even better!

An excellent dining experience. We had not visited Samdan in many years, since moving to the Jersey Shore. The decor had changed, but the food, the service and the atmosphere were still terrific. And our waiter Harun did a great job of spacing out our meal as we ordered lots of small plates as well as two main courses. Love this place.
