You can have a cost-effective lunch at $16.95. Choose lentil soup or salad as an appetizer. both are ok The bread before the meal was hot and delicious. The lamb kebab was also filling and filling. All the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is nice. Visited often
A wonderful atmosphere, the food is delicious. I would like to thanks Hakan for his interest, for service.
It was amazing, definitely the best Turkish Cuisine in New Jersey. Diversity could be increased a little more.

This was my first time trying Turkish food, and I loved it! The food came out almost immediately and was light yet satisfying.
I stumbled upon Samdan a long time ago when I was on the cross country team in high school.
Sat at the bar and Robert was taking care of us. He made amazing drinks for us. You MUST try one of his specials. The food was served quickly and was cooked perfectly. I will be back!

The Mediterranean dishes at Samdan are outstanding. The food is flavorful, particularly the freshly made bread and olive oil. I strongly suggest ordering the Chicken Chops from the grilled kebabs, and be sure to try the shepherd’s salad as well.
I want to commend the new owner, Yusuf, for the fantastic improvements he’s made to Samdan, including the introduction of a new menu filled with exquisite seafood dishes. One of my top picks is the Octopus Carpaccio, which boasts a Michelin-star level flavor thanks to its distinctive sauce. The talented new chefs truly deserve recognition. I used to order filet mignon takeout from another place almost every week, but ever since tasting Samdan’s Saslik, I’ve completely switched. The Saslik, featuring specially marinated filet mignon served with potato purée and a secret sauce, is absolutely irresistible. Now, my family orders from Samdan weekly for our dinners. The attached photo shows the takeout Saslik paired perfectly with a cabernet red wine. Here’s to amazing food and wonderful moments!
Takeout Review: I ordered lunch on a weekday to try out Samdan. Compared to other Mediterranean and Turkish spots I usually visit, this place was just average. The food was well-prepared, neatly packed, and arrived within an hour. I chose the eggplant with tomato and calf liver appetizers, along with the ground chicken kebab. The portions were generous and the food was tasty overall. However, I was a bit disappointed with the calf liver as it wasn’t cooked the way I prefer, and the chicken kebab could have used more seasoning.
Samdan Restaurant is the Best Turkish Restaurant ever!! I loved all of about there. They satisfied us with their hospitality and treats. You will never regret when you order your lunch/dinner. The best of North Jersey with its food and qualityservice..Thank you for all!! I can't wait to go and taste them again..
We loved our lunch! Very tasty food and great service. The hostess Yasmin was the kindest and warmest! She was very proud to show us the dessert she personally made that day. Poached quince with pomegranate juice, hibiscus and mascarpone. So delicious!We will come back just for that dessert alone... we found a recipe online so we will experiment at home. Thank you for the verynice hospitality and we'll be back soon!
