Best Authentic Restaurants in Newark

Food was excellent! We were there for lunch with an old friend we hadn’t seen in a long time and stayed over 3 hrs. There was no hint of wanting us to leave despite that we were the last. We only had salad and the lamb riblets which are always delicious along with wine that the waiter recommended. He let us try it before serving it. We also had dessert which was delicious chocolate cake with sour cherry ice cream and also hazelnut honey ice cream which was also delicious.

I really need to come here more often as it is a true gem in an otherwise less than stellar dining selection in Fremont. The food and the service are top notch. It is a small venue and so reservations are recommended. We dined for Valentine's dinner and between us we enjoyed the strawberry salad and lobster bisque soup, and a crab cake for starters, all of which were perfect. The steaks were tender and flavorful, cooked just right and I am rather particular so was quite impressed. Very nice wine selection, but I do wish they offered a cocktail menu. The topper for me was the chocolate raspberry cheescake. I normally prefer a very traditional and rich NY cheesecake, but this chocolate-infused variant was out of this world and I want to go back soon just so that I have enjoy that again. Il Porcino is a must to try in Fremont.

Excellent selection of authentic Turkish dishes, well executed and delivered with beautiful simplicity. Very gracious but efficient and professional and attentive service. Ambiance is lively and we loved the Turkish music at a level that still allowed for conversation at the table. Really enjoyed our evening and will be back!

Jaks Authentic Indian & Modern Vibe is a fantastic spot for anyone who loves bold Indian flavors with a modern twist. The food is packed with authentic spices and beautifully presented, making every dish a treat. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between business casual and cozy, and the Bar’s selection of whiskeys and craft beers adds to the experience. The service is attentive and welcoming, making you feel right at home. Whether you’re craving a classic curry or something innovative, this place delivers. Highly recommend!
