Simple fast casual - Edit
I had the curry over coconut rice and it was very good. The baklava is excellent. I didn’t call ahead but would recommend doing so because the trip was worth it, but if they are closed the neighborhood is otherwise a bit of a vegan desert. Next time I’ll also order the kofte because it looked really good too.

Closed without explanation - Edit
Just arrived at the restaurant and walked in, only to be turned away by a confused sounding gentleman with an accent. He told me to come back another time. I asked whether the restaurant was open today and he said "30 minutes." Unfortunately, I am on my lunch break and don't have 30 minutes. Now I have to scramble to find an alternative. Guess I'm headed to Trader Joe's. I am not a happy vegan and I won't be returning.

The food is GREAT but.... - Edit
Their food is delicious and it’s wonderful that everything is vegan!! However, during a Pandemic, cleanliness and hygiene shouldn’t be a second thought. The server making our wraps had a his personal cell ring, he answered it, then almost started our wraps without changing his gloves. I had to frantically stop him and kindly ask him to change his gloves. He continued to touch other surfaces with the gloves he used to prepare my food (after he was done), wrapped my food in all this plastic and styrofoam, took my card, touched then iPad to receive payment then moved on to make someone else order after he was done with mine without another glove change. This completely killed the vibe— I will return in hopes they talk to their employees. But please look out for that if you decide to check them out.

Cons: Use Saran Wrap , Uses styrofoam , Not conscious of their hygiene

Turkish delight - Edit
Stopped in here on a toad trip and had a fantastic meal, never in a million years could have imagined a vegan Turkish restaurant in New Jersey. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the chickpea wrap and the chickpea turmeric/garlic rice- wow, those chickpeas were cooked to perfection with delicious spices. For dessert, we were overjoyed to have our first baklava since going vegan and it was fantastic - crispy phyllo dough, nutty & sweet filling without being cloying. Will definitely stop by again on our next time through the area!

Nice Find. - Edit
Very good food. my 1st time trying and even hearing of Kofteh and I thought it was great. Had the Kofteh Wrap and tye Vegan Baklava which was very good as well. Nice small place with good food. Gentleman behind the counter was very nice and let me taste the Kofteh before I ordered it. They have a mild and a spicy option which I still didn't think was spicy enough but I like spice so it may be spicy for some people. I will definitely be back to try some of the other dishes.
Read morePros: Full Vegan menu, Healthy food for a reasonable price.

Great food, even better service - Edit
This place has an all vegan menu and has all the options I would want. The gentleman working gave us a sample of kofteh which tasted delicious and was very nice and happy to be there. We ended up getting chickpea wraps because it was easy to eat and they were fresh and made there right in front of you. We also ordered the baklava. I wanted to take the whole tray home. The gent

Great wraps and baklava - Edit
I had no idea what kofteh was before coming here, but now I do. I came for a mid-afternoon snack and got a lesson in kofteh and how it's made (it's RAW by the way!). The wrap I bought was excellent and the vegan baklava was out-of-this-world.

Old nefista restaurant - Edit
This restaurant is the old nefista. Except now they have more vegan options. So yummy! Their kofteh is amazing but they offer a Turkish milk drink.

Very good - Edit
I ordered from Nefista on ubereats and received food from this company. I'm guessing the name was changed? Or maybe another location. This one is in Clifton.Regardless, the vegan cig kofte wrap was outstanding. Very savory and delicious. I've ordered 3 times now. The menu says the baklava is vegan and it's amazing. Highly recommend this place. The address on the menu says its in Clifton NJ.
