Best Mediterranean & Turkish dishes
in Freehold

An absolute gem at Freehold Mall! I had an amazing experience at Marmara, located across from Old Navy in the Freehold Mall. I’ve been coming here since they first opened. I can’t say enough about how delicious their food is. My favorite visit so far was last night. I had no idea they had entertainment. What a fun ... Friday night out. The atmosphere was warm and lively, and the belly dancer entertainment made the evening extra special! It’s BYOB, which is a great bonus. We started with the Shepherd Salad with feta, Labne, and Spicy Ezme, all served with their complimentary balloon bread and a delicious olive tapenade — such a great start to the meal. For the main course, the Chicken Adana and Turkish Ravioli were both bursting with flavor — perfectly seasoned and not overwhelming, just truly delicious. I finished with a cappuccino and crème brûlée, my favorite dessert combination, and it was the perfect ending to a fantastic night. Highly recommend this spot for great food, warm service, and fun entertainment — I’ll definitely be back again! Read More

One of the best Mediterranean food places I've ever been to. Complimentary fresh oven bread with garlic dip is a big hit. We ordered their dip platter to try all their popular dips, all of them were really good. Dinner plate portion size is big. We ordered mixed meat platter for one person and it was good for two. ... Definitely a recommended place to eat while you shop at the Freehold mall. Read More

This restaurant is located in the Freehold Mall right underneath the carousel. We visited for lunch and had the place to ourselves. There were three employees that we could see and I don't know how many more in the kitchen but everything was astounding. We would definitely return here. The bread was amazing and they ... brought out even more after we ate the first loaf. The salad was very crisp and delicious. The fish was very good and had beautiful presentation. The decor is absolutely gorgeous! Read More

I stopped in this restaurant to get appetizers and when I arrived I parked in the mall lot. I walked into a really nice restaurant! I was greeted and sat and served by the manager and he was nice. I ordered: Lemonade Mixed Appetizers (Hummus, Babaganaush, Pink Sultan, Marmara, Spicy Ezme, Labne) Bread with Oil Red ... Lentil Soup Calamari Kibbeh Tea The food was great! I really loved the Lentil Soup and the Kibbeh the most! All in all a good experience! Read More

Today my mother and I visited Marmara Mediterranean Cuisine for the first time. A very nice place. Everything we ordered was delicious. The spices did not drown out the taste of the meat, and the desserts were not cloyingly sweet. For which many thanks to the chef. The service staff is very good. The restroom is ... clean. I recommend Marmara Mediterranean Cuisine to everyone. Many thanks to the owners and employees of Marmara Mediterranean Cuisine for their respect for people. Update. We visited this place again yesterday. Delicious, delicious, and even more delicious! 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Read More

This was our first time dining here. We reserved a table for 6, celebrating my 60th birthday. Great atmosphere and very accommodating with any requests. Our waiter, Bogukan was very pleasant and attentive to our table. The food he recommended was delicious. We ordered the appetizer sampler with different types of dips ... and spreads. So many different flavors and spices to explore. It went great with the hot pita type bread which they brought to our table. I had the lamb shank dinner. Everyone was also happy with their meals as well. Dessert was brought out with the staff singing happy birthday. 🎉🎂 We had the cold baklava and chocolate mousse cake. Enough to share for the ones who weren’t stuffed from their meals. Definitely going to be coming back again. Read More

Marmara is hands down my husband’s and my favorite spot for Mediterranean/Turkish/Armenian/Greek food! Whether we’re dining in or grabbing takeout, it is ALWAYS a 10/10. The staff is incredible — they go above and beyond every single time. Thank you all so much… you’ve truly earned customers for life!
