Toros Restaurant

I am trying to think of any excuse to return.
They have a wonderful lunch special which includes a choice of a soup or salad, an app and entrée for $ 13.
The lentil soup should not be missed, it is absolutely delicious. I even ordered extra soup to bring home to share with my mother. The chicken kebab and lamb were also delicious. The décor is wonderful too, you won’t be disappointed when you visit!

Had a great lunch here! We ordered a few appetizers and one entrée. Red lentil soup was fantastic as was the white bean salad. The entrée was grilled chicken in yogurt sauce. We ended with Turkish coffee. The food was so fresh, and everyone who works there is nice as can be. Prices are incredibly reasonable. I highly recommend and will be returning.

This is my spot to go to when craving Mediterranean food! They have the best food in town! Love the Shepard’s salad, and the Turkish bread is delicious! I don’t really like bread but this bread is delish! The chicken kebabs are tender and juicy! My boyfriend loves the appetizer liver and the lentil soup! Everything is in large portions definitely sharing size, but we always take the leftovers for lunch the next day! Must stop by if you’re craving Turkish cuisine!

One of the best Mediterranean cuisine.
Food, service, 5****
I been there too many times, every time I have never disappointed.
Always fresh and tasty food.

This was one of the first restaurants I was introduced to in Paterson. I fell in love with this place. The home-​cooked style buffet reminds me of home. The service was great, I remember seeing an lady behind the counter in the kitchen cooking, she reminded me of my grandmother, she had such a welcoming smile on her face, I still remember that after all these years. I haven’t seen her in a while but unfortunately I haven’t been back here in a while.
The space, décor, and lighting is very warm and inviting. I will come back here and I recommend this location to everyone. The one on Hazel sucks so come to Paterson. You won’t leave hungry, I can almost guarantee it.

Can’t go wrong here.
Toros kebap or Iskender is mandatory, try Baklava as golden shot!

Toros is conveniently located in Patterson (A.K.A little Turkey) and has its own parking space. Their doner plate as well as Iskender kebap are phenomenal. My friend and I fell in love with their cold appetizers such as hummus and eggplant paste. My only issue with this tiny restaurant is their service which tends to be a bit sluggish and should definitely be improved!

Turkish kebabs at its best. Days that I am really starving, I end up here. Combo platter is meat galore, comes with salad. Really tastyyyyy.

Toros restaurant has a great breakfast menu, breakfast plate is my favorite. Foods have real turkish kitchen taste and very delicious. The Staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a pretty big parking area and very easy in and out.

Terrible restaurant. The staff is very rude. Food is good but they can’t serve it well. The staff doesn’t know how to speak to customers. I hate this restaurant because of the staff. If they change the staff, everything will be good.

Came here on a recommendation from a local car dealer — we were waiting on a truck and he suggested we grab lunch here. What a great suggestion! We started with the Ezogelin lentil soup, which was seasoned so nicely and was absolutely delicious. Also had some Ezme with turkish bread — again, seasoned so well, i couldn’t stop eating! For our entrée, we shared an order of Adana Kebab, which they split for us onto two plates. The lamb was juicy and flavorful, overall a delicious meal. I’ll have to check out their other locations as well!

Great food, great service, nice place
Thank you guys

Decided to give this place a try considering it’s right by Arabian café and I’m glad I did. The interior of the restaurant is very cozy and relaxing. My friend and I ordered a combination platter, she had the chicken shish and I had the lamb chop combination. They first brought out bread and salads; the bread was very fresh and the salad was a great as well. Both combination platters were all flavorful and the portion was great for the price. The service was great and I even forgot my phone and they were kind enough to hold it till I got back. I’ll be coming back again for sure!

Toros has some of the best Turkish food in the area. Both the cold and hot appetizers are excellent. Great hummus and baba ganoush! The combination platters are delicious and large, enough for two people.

The food is pretty good. The spices create some great flavors, but I just felt it wasn’t worth the price. The restaurant was pretty plain in bad area so I’m trying to figure out what you’re paying for.

This is a nice Turkish spot. The food is great, I love the combinations platters. This way you can try multiple meat dishes.

Great little restaurant I like it that they have homemade lunch special The price is reasonable So if you looking For a good meal that is The place I am always happy when I leave.

This place is the best Turkish restaurant I have been to. The lentil soup is very tasty and a great starter.
I bought the lamb chops and chicken combo. They were both marinated well and grilled to perfection.
It’s a small mom and pop shop but they know what they are doing. I will definitely come back and bring friends.

Small cabin-​like feel in the middle of Paterson. It’s very cozy, comfortable and family-​based. Only about 15 tables so don’t expect craziness or go with large parties (the Toros in Clifton is your better bet). But, I don’t like being swarmed and surrounded by bottles of alcohol (as the other Toros is), and this setting was a definitely more my style and comfort level.
The food was outstanding!
The chicken is ALWAYS very juicy and its the safest bet for a food meal.
I also really enjoyed their tomato-​based lentil soup since its definitely the turkish style of cooking– it was great!
They put an assortment of different breads at our request which is nice for a table of 6, since each of us have different tastes and preferences.
And we also loved that they served each dish with two types of rice, one tomato couscous type, and the other the traditional white rice.
A FEW minor changes: the lamb chops had little to no marinade or flavoring… we definitely used regular table salt to add flavor.
The traditional Turkish Salad had ¾ tomatoes and ¼ cucumber so it was like a tomato salad and none of our party like that. It also needed a bit more lemon juice and salt.
The service was good BUT they forgot my husband’s order and when we ordered two things to go while our waitress was on break, the other person told the waitress she didn’t understand and so we waited another 20 minutes for our order since we re-​requested it with our waitress after her dinner break was done.

Searching for a place to lunch with my mom between my job in Paterson and my mom’s job in Clifton, I found Toros and decided to try it based on a recommendation from my colleague.
Toros is located in a neighborhood that seems to be Paterson’s Little Turkey, in a house on a corner of Main Street. Step into a space that could very well be your Turkish grandmother’s kitchen (that is if you’re Turkish and have a grandmother whose kitchen can seat around 40).
The very friendly waitress was happy to recommend some dishes, and she was extremely welcoming. We decided to try the soup of the day (yellow lentil), babbaghanoush, hummus, and stuffed grape leaves. A basket of warm pita and Turkish bread (sort of like a flatter Italian bread) arrived at our table. My mom couldn’t stop raving about the bread.
I loved all the food. It was fresh, flavorful, and simple. From our tables, we could peer into a little window that separated the dining room from the kitchen. An older lady wearing what looked like a babooshka was stuffing grape leaves with the delicious rice and currant filling. This food is truly homemade and filling. Better yet our bill came out to less than $ 20.
Some of the traditional Turkish entrees on the menu also sounded delicious, but they are rather expensive for lunch ($ 15+). However, after seeing some of the huge plates coming out of the kitchen to other tables, we decided that they could definitely be shared.
