- DDanielNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoAmazing! I dined with a party of 7, although we reserved for 8 it was no problem seating us. We sat upstairs where it was a little tight space but you surely forget that when the water is distrubuted as soon as you are seated. Chandler welcomed us almost immediately as our server for the night and apologize for any delay throughout the night because it was just two servers on a busy X-Mas eve night. My partner and I had the Grilled Beef Kabab with the Honey Jerk wings for the starters and it was amazing. The presentation on the kebab was exuberant with the blue fire still managing to engulf the bell peppers and kebab. The wings had a kick but not too spicy, just the way I liked. For our entree we had the lamb chop with jollof and sweet plantains and the Jaimacan chicken and shrimp with sweet plantains. Both dishes were amazing. Chandler stood out by checking on us and bringing my girlfriend and our other guest who were celebrating birthdays together, both cheese cake on the house. Gratuity included makes sense for an establishment like this. They deserve the Gratuity. Being that my lady and I have been here multiple times, Chandler has always managed to be our server each time and remembers us everytime. We look forward to coming back each and every time because of the food and the service. Finally, for drinks, my Lady had the Beach party and I had the Brazilian Kiss. The Brazilian Kiss was soo good, I order more for the table. Overall, amazing experience 4.5 StarsMore infoHouse 157 Restaurant & BarPrice: Expensive• Creole / Cajun / Southern• Roselle Park•4.6

- BBenjaminNew York City •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 17, 2024We were a party of 6 (long-time - 50 years) friends who met at this restaurant for lunch for a first time as it is 1/2 way between our respective areas. Chose it from online reviews. Asked for a round table so we could talk more easily -- we got that Ordered an assortment of appetizers and some ordered from the lunch special and two ordered chicken parm. Everything was very good-- (one of my friends gave the host his suggestion of how to prepare chicken parm -- he said it was good but just too thick- maybe pound it more -- well, if you were to know my friend-- just ignore him !!) anyway -- we all enjoyed this restaurant and as for the waiter -- TOTALLY COOL and really did a GREAT JOB providing us with EXCELLENT SERVICE throughout our more than 2 hours there.. wish I knew this server's name (told to us but we were all talking too much and I can't hear anyway) but, if you go there for lunch this waiter will be outstanding in many ways.. all in all -- anyone living in this area has a great place for Greek (and some Italian) food! Enjoy!More infoLimani Seafood GrillPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Westfield•4.7
