Aspendos Mediterranean Cuisine

A Taste of Halal Fine Dining in the Heart of Princeton: Aspendos Mediterranean Cuisine Nestled on the quaint Nassau Street in Princeton, Aspendos isn't just another Mediterranean restaurant. It's a portal to a culinary adventure, where vibrant flavors intertwine with elegant presentation and attentive service to create an unforgettable dining experience.... and yes its Halal! We stopped by a couple nights ago after randomly searching for Halal fine dining in the area and were swept away by the experience. While everything looked amazing in the menu, we ordered Crispy Octopus and Crispy Troya Liver from the appetizers section and they did not disappoint. For the mains, we went with the Smoked Rib with Jue Sauce , the Brown Butter Tenderloin and the Lamb Shank which were all testaments to culinary precision and cooked to perfection. My favorite was the Lamb Shank with the meat falling off the bone with the slightest nudge, enveloped in a rich and flavorful sauce that was both warming and complex. Beyond the culinary excellence, Aspendos shines in its service and atmosphere. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, their recommendations on point and their presence never intrusive. The ambiance is one of warm sophistication, perfect for an intimate dinner or a celebratory gathering. While Aspendos falls on the pricier end of the spectrum, the quality of the food, service, and overall experience ensures you get your money's worth. It's not just a meal; it's an investment in a memory that will linger long after the last bite. #Approved!

This place was an absolute surprise. Food was amazing and the restaurant has great ambience. They take great pride in what they do. You will not be disappointed.

Very good food and excellent service!

Wow - what a gem! This restaurant is a breath of fresh air. It’s a beautiful space with super friendly staff. The menu is very unique- lots of fresh veggies and marinated all-day meats and super fresh fish. My group started with the zucchini salad (sounded boring to me, but our waitress recommended it) - it was delicious!!! I had the chicken with lemon cream sauce…life changing!!! Everyone in my group loved their entrees. I can’t wait to return!!
