    It’s a shame we don’t live closer - this restaurant was excellent. Melissa, the waiter, was extremely nice and friendly, especially to our preschooler :) Melissa was also helpful in offering to provide kid-friendly dishes and utensils. Another employee (who I assume was the owner) was helpful and very sweet to our child. We got a mixed grill combo for 2, a meat cigar appetizer, baklava, and Turkish iced tea and coffee. Everything was delicious and clearly fresh. The portion sizes were ample for the price. We fed two hungry adults and one somewhat hungry child and STILL had leftovers. The space indoors was clean as was the open terrace seating. They really earned the five stars. What a great experience!

    My husband and I had an amazing experience at Bridge this past week. We had never been To this type of restaurant before and we didn’t know what to expect. From the minute our salads and bread were brought out, we were in for a real treat. The bread was warm and soft, the salads were fresh and tasty, and our mixed grill meets were Perfectly tender and delicious. The baklava and Turkish tea were the perfect topping to a delicious meal. We will definitely be back again for more delicious, authentic Turkish food.

    Loved this restaurant! They have their own parking lot in the back, which was a great help on the busy street. Service was excellent, as was the food! Try the mixed grill and vegetable flatbread, it was delicious! Our waitress recommended the lamb and pistachio, which was also tasty, and unique. Definitely going to be going back here the next time I’m around.

    Delicious authentic food & good portion sizes! We got several appetizers and an entree (the appetizers themselves are so filling!) Staff is very nice & food came out quickly. Some non-veg entrees were pricey but overall they have an extensive menu to choose from. Would definitely come back!!

    Went there for the first time yesterday and was so impressed! We ordered the Bridge Mix Grill for 2 people and it was excellent! All the meats were cooked perfectly and were delicious and the portions were great! Quick service too! (We haven’t gone out in forever since a lot of times nicer restaurants have tiny portions or the food takes ages to come out, so we were really happy with their food and service!) Will definitely go back there! Highly recommend!

    Not your typical kosher grill restaurant. Real Turkish flavors on the menu. Crisp pita. Picant tomato sauce. A great new addition in Highland Park

    Very charming place.... Gentle harp music, beautiful Turkish decorations . It is the best restaurant we ever been! . Bridge grill mix had 4 different meat varieties all full of flavors. It would be a place for us to go. And don't forget to try Russian Salad. Taste like "Olive". Thanks a lot.

    So far I have been there just for lunch and that's the reason one might think that the portions looks small, but sometimes quality matters over quantity. And the taste is delicious too, it has a very upscale look and the decor is beautiful and also has plenty of parking spots behind the restaurant. No matter what food you get just make sure to try the rice pudding, it's amazing!

    We like a lot to go out. Last night we found this magnificent place which friends told us about. We passed a delightful evening there with superb dishes and a professional crew and a great chief cook. We added this place in our list and we will no doubt come back very soon. Highly recommended.

    Bridge is a fun, different and yummy restaurant! The service was phenomenal and my wife and I loved the food. Would highly recommend for anyone who’s looking for a good and different meat experience!

  • 5/5 Dovid L. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious Turkish Cuisine. But most amazing service ever. I'm sorry I didn't get our server's name. She took 12 orders with appetizers drinks etc. never wrote anything down and got ever order perfectly right. Young cute woman who did an outstanding job. For my taste the food could have been a little spicier. But overall an excellent experience. We'll definitely be back when we're in town.

  • 1/5 George K. 2 years ago on Google
    Went in to get a soup which was before twice the size and came with their full roll. The price did not change but you get only 1/3 roll and half the soup. I also ordered a felafel which on the menu said came with salad. I had to argue to get bread and got literally 1/2 Small roll with virtually no salad and felafel. The food given was nowhere near the money paid. Think twice before you eat here for take out.

  • 5/5 Chayale S. 1 year ago on Google
    Such amazing service. They have great quality food. My husband and I enjoy being out here. The warm bread is a meal on its own, and all the food is so delicious! Thanks for giving us a nice night out!

  • 5/5 Marcia S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best kosher dining-out experience I've had in a long time. The waitstaff (Ilkay was our server) was pleasant and efficient, the menu had plenty of options, and the food was delicious. The interior of the restaurant was lovely, and we appreciated being able to eat outside as well. Looking forward to going again.

  • 5/5 Scott L. 1 year ago on Google
    The food at Bridge is always delicious, and the service is always amazing. We bring our children (6 and 4) for dinner to celebrate special occasions - we plan it a week in advance, and they look forward to it all week! Considering the quality of the food and service, we also feel that Bridge is very reasonably priced.

  • 5/5 Isaac L. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely scrumptious. Our server, Melissa, was delighted to help us with anything we needed for our meal. The interior is aesthetically wonderful with Mediterranean style dishes and swords on the wall. The chicken and lamb were delicious and was a very satisfying meal. Overall amazing experience, would come back to eat here without a doubt.

    I highly recommend Bridge Restaurant!! I’ve been here multiple times with family and friends and their food and service is amazing! My personal favorites are the Rib-eye shish, the gyro and the meat rolls. But really everything I tried I liked a lot. The chef definitely knows what he’s doing. I also met the owner and his wife one day and they were very sweet to me and my party. And the servers were all friendly and attentive! Thank you so much for the amazing service and of course the food. I’ll definitely be back for another meal soon 😊

    Unique delicious kosher restaurant with nice ambiance. Service was attentive. A little pricey but portion sizes were plentiful. Great bread!!

  • 5/5 Neo_grasszennie 6 months ago on Google
    Some of the best food I've had in a while. Pricey but worth it. The bread is fresh and hot, the red pepper dip is the best thing I've ever had and tje food is outrageously good. The waitress was so nice and it was basically empty to it was nice and chill. Love it and would recommend to anyone who asked where to eat kosher in Highland park!

  • 5/5 Y F. 7 months ago on Google
    We loved our experience here. The food is fantastic. Service exceptional. Nice low key classy vibe. We would come here again next time we're in the area. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 jeff k. 5 months ago on Google
    Perfect lunch. The entrees were hot and served very quickly. The lunch menu was quite extensive and had many items that were on the dinner menu at almost half the price.

  • 5/5 Neil S. 4 years ago on Google
    What a welcome addition to the Central NJ kosher restaurant scene. The food is different (in a great sense) then any of the other kosher restaurants we've been to in NJ. The atmosphere and service is wonderful (special shout-out to Melissa) and the food is magnificent. I often get one of the many combo platters. The best of what they have to offer. And the desserts... SO good, and big enough for my wife an I to share one. Bottom line- you won't be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Steven V. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Tony A. 4 years ago on Google
    I celebrated my PhD last night in this great place. Well we enjoyed a sensational evening and the place was no doubt one of the reasons for the successful celebration. The stuff contributed in a graceful style, the cuisine was yummy and my friends were very overjoyed. We shall no dout visit again for more events. Thank you very much.

    After watching Turkish Series for a very long time going to this place felt like in Turkish!! Food just perfect, and the tea!!! Omg ? amazing.

  • 5/5 Lou E. 6 years ago on Google
    I've been to quite a few Turkish restaurants, but the Bridge is a step above the rest. The food is excellent. The decor is beautiful. The staff is very friendly. I'll be back for sure. The menu and prices are very good as well. It's in a very nice town also. There's plenty of free parking in the rear of the restaurant. It's close to Rt18 and New Brunswick. This is definitely a gem in Highland Park...

  • 5/5 Diana M. 4 years ago on Google
    My husband and I went to Highland park for the first time, we walked and just couldn't resist to try... What a big surprise, the food was really awesome, I ate lamp with pistachios... the best plate I had in a while, very good service and fair price. Thanks!

  • 5/5 K Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Yesterday was our first time we came to that good restaurant. But It is surely not the last time. We had great time with the generous service, with the finest cooking and fine drinks and with the honest pay. We will no doubt return there in a short time.

  • 5/5 Mathias W. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place. Very authentic. Interesting delicious meat dishes.

  • 1/5 Joshua B. 4 years ago on Google
    Food was over priced and the portions were very off. Additionally my friends and I sat with empty water cups for the majority of our meal. The waitress only showed up 3 times: to take our order, to bring the food out, and to give us the bill. The food was flavorless and the meat was dry.

  • 5/5 Jeffrey S. 4 years ago on Google
    The customer service is always swift, awesome mood, very kind employees. I will visit here again when I get nearby.

  • 5/5 Michael G. 4 years ago on Google
    When Bridge reopened as a Kosher restaurant I was excited to try it, being I am a foodie - so long as the food involves meat. I passed over the salads and soup to go straight to the cigars. The flavor that is packed in there blew me away. It was a taste bud explosion. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Little did I know the best had yet to come. I went for the Doner Kebab - the meat was tender, flavorful and not at all dry as some lamb could be. No salsa necessary. I wanted to actually taste the meat. Lastly, Although I was stuffed, the baklava had my name on it. It was absolutely decadent- sweet, nutty with the right amount of crispiness. You can bet I’ll be back!

  • 5/5 Pinchas Eliyahu S. 4 years ago on Google
    Very very good. We just got home from an excellent meal at The Bridge Turkish Grill. Excellent grilled meats (Beit Yosef). Luckily we brought a doggy bag home - and no dog!

  • 5/5 Linda D. 4 years ago on Google
    This is one of the best Kosher restaurants I have eaten at. Their Lentil soup is amazing. I ordered their beef shish kabab. The beef was fabulous. Seasoned perfectly and so tender. They told me they use ribeye for this. It is decorated so nicely and has a lovely atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Elliot D. 4 years ago on Google
