Ada Mediterranean Grill - Fair Lawn

Great food and service. My wife and I loved the place.

Chicken shish was dry and without flavor. Rice also had no taste. Waitress brought check before we were done eating!! And then kept checking back to see if we took care of it. Very rude. Would definitely not recommend or return. We also ordered the manti presentation not very appetizing but flavor was ok.

I love the place. First, I was waiting for their opening and now I am there every few times per week. I love the food and people. Staff are nice and friendly. Kitchen is amazing. My friend fall in love with kunafe, so she is always asking me to join her at Ada in the evening. It is nice place to spend time with ur friends and family!

We have only been there a few times but so far they seem to be worth going back to. The food is very good. I would like to say outstanding but they are not there yet. I feel like they are still working out some kinks and have the potential to be excellent. My mother-in-law and I had fish the other night. She ate one bite and turned to me and asked do you like it cooked this way? I knew she was implying it was a little overcooked. I thought it was very good but she was right it was just a plain piece of bronzini that appeared to have been broiled perhaps but maybe just a minute too long. I however loved that it was a bit crunchy but thought it could have used some herbs and/or perhaps a bit of oil. The avaganoosh is excellent as well as the shepard 's salad which are what we ordered to start. My husband and father-in-law had the Kofta which they said was very good. My father-in-law said it was a bit overcooked. Again these are such minor things and also personal tastes. Kofta is usally cooked through but he did ask for medium pink I believe. Now I ordered medium-rare lamb kabob last time we were there and they brought me 4 very big pieces of rare lamb. I was happy it wasn 't medium so I ate it but would have preferred it medium-rare. That being said I don 't usually order lamb kabob because from my experience mediterranean restaurants rarely cook their meat anything but medium . So basically my main gripe for them to be excellent is to have a better handle on how the food is cooked. The flavors are there for the most part and the service is excellent. They bend over backwards to help you. I definitely recommend you give then a try.

There were 5 of us. Have to say the service was outstanding and the prices reasonable. All of us either had the chicken shish kebob or lamb shish kebob. I had the lamb, medium rare. Thought the flavor was off, possibly wasn't American lamb or possibly was not that fresh. Thought the chicken was well marinated, tasty and relatively tender, although I have had better. Ambiance was ok, but certainly not white tablecloth. Because the service was top drawer.... really friendly and quick... and the chicken was good, this may not be a totally fair assessment of this restaurant.
