Setaara is such a beautiful and special restaurant! The atmosphere is warm, elegant, and incredibly welcoming, and the décor makes you feel like you’ve been transported somewhere completely different. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and prepared with so much care. The staff were kind, attentive, and made the entire experience feel memorable. It is the perfect place for a family dinner, date night, or special occasion. I would highly recommend Setaara to anyone looking for amazing food, wonderful service, and a truly unique dining experience in New Jersey!

So I'm a regular at AC, and I never knew this place existed until I saw a video on Instagram of them and of course, I had to check it out. From the outside, it looks like an average building, but once you get past those door it's like a whole different world. The inside is so beautiful, and I love the open middle concept, especially with the high ceiling, which lets the natural light in, so it makes everything look even more beautiful. It can also be intimate, as they have sections that can be a little private, so it's great for like dates or if you have a family get together. Also, they are close to the outlet as well and have parking too. I do recommend checking out their hours and menu before going, as they kind of have specific menu options that they offer on certain days. For example, on Fridays and Saturdays, they only have a prefix four-course meal, which each person has to pay $68.99 (we went on Friday). But they have a lot of great options, so you still get to try a variety of their fusion menu options. Especially, considering that if you look at the prices separately for the items that were included, I think it's a really great deal, since it comes with your starter brea

A Taste of Back Home: The Ultimate Afghan Dining Experience. Stepping through the doors feels less like entering a restaurant and more like crossing the threshold of a beloved family home in Kabul. The air is thick with the intoxicating, deeply nostalgic aroma of charcoal-grilled seekh kebabs, saffron-infused Kabuli Pulao, and piping-hot naan being slapped straight against the walls of a blazing clay tandoor. What makes this space truly unique is how it honors the past without feeling stuck in it. *The Welcome: You are greeted not just by a host, but by the genuine warmth of mehmandoostee (Afghan hospitality), where every guest is treated like royalty and a long-lost cousin all at once. *The Environment: Rich, hand-woven carpets and plush (toshak) floor cushions share the room with contemporary seating, creating a cozy sanctuary under the soft glow of copper lanterns. *The Spirit: As the gentle, acoustic strains of a rubab hum in the background, a steaming glass of cardamom-scented green tea is placed in your hand before you even ask. It is a beautifully curated haven where the flavors are fiercely authentic, the smiles are entirely effortless, and the bittersweet ache of homesick

Best restaurant service one could ever find :) food was amazing and we were overfilled with joy! They accommodated my new fiancé and I very well with the negative wind chill weather to make sure we were warm and comfortable. They did run out of their most popular dish, but we went with other options that were just as great! This basically felt like a 5-course setting. The best part is that they treated us with dessert on the house as a celebration and approved our request for a private dinner because of the recent engagement. One thing we were sad about was the poor bird they have that was fluffed up and sleeping in the cold. I hope they take much better care of it because as a 4-bird owner myself, negative degree weather and smoke from the food and kitchen pans burning is not okay for the poor thing :(

We came on a weekday in December and virtually had the place to ourselves. Which is a shame, because this was one of the most sumptuous meals we've had in a long time, in an absolutely magical atmosphere, lit up and decked for the holidays. The lamb kebab was some of the most flavorful and tender lamb I've ever had. And the service was immaculate: our server (a taller woman with blonde hair whose name I have inexcusably forgotten) was an absolute pro. She answered all our questions about the menu, effortlessly directed the staff when serving our dishes, and overall made this a magical experience. Location is convenient and slightly outside the tourist hubbub, between the train station and the Tropicana. We will absolutely be going here again, perhaps on a day when the prix-fixe is served, and will be recommending it to everyone we know that's coming to town. Setaara is an absolute gem in AC.
