Absolutely fantastic experience tonight at Antika Grill. A very special shoutout to Shadi, his attention to detail was phenomenal and he really went above and beyond to make sure our table of 14 was taken care of.
We ordered mix grill and appetizers and three hookahs. Every single thing we ordered was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. The chicken kabobs and meat in particular were spectacularly juicy and the spices perfectly complemented the meat. The fattoush salad was crispy, fresh, and had just the right amount of flavor.
The hookah was something ELSE. We asked what was their specialty and the gentleman said "I can make you a mix". I don't know what the mix was but it was the most enjoyable hookah I have had in years.
Honestly, this place is a gem and well worth the trip from Brooklyn to get there. We recommend Antika Grill to anyone looking to have a good time, and we will be back. Thank you to the entire crew and Shadi again for making our first experience very memorable.
Absolutely incredible. Excellent preparation. Ordered the lamb chops medium rare and the gluten-free calamari. Pictures attached it came out excellent and the gluten-free calamari was awesome.
The service could have been better and include the 20% tip in your bill which I don't like because I'd prefer to do my own tip.
Food was delicious. The lamb chops was tender and side salad was nicely seasoned. Sweet potatoes fries were sweet and tasty. They didn't ask how we wanted the filet mignon but it was good.
We had Nick as our server He was pretty good The food was good too The only thing I don't like is that they automatically add in gratuity(Had party of 2) I always tip but I tip accordingly Give me the option to decide how much I want to tip Too many times I've gone places where the tip was automatically included and my service was horrible
The food here was amazing don't let the stars fool you there is a little more to this.
This place is in a good location there are not too many good hookah spots in this area unless your looking to go to La Ziza or one of the other spots in clifton. The hookah and service in Clifton is great but Antika's food is way better.
Usually you would think of a byob spot as cheaper than another resturant, but for two people who only ordered a main course each with no appetizers, 1 hookah, and a pitcher of lemonade to mix with our liquor, the bill became $200. I mean I understand a bottle service charge for 5 dollars a person, but then there was a service charge for $26 that I didn't understand. I would understand if it was gratuity but it was just my wife and I. For a service charge, the only time we saw our waiter was when he took our order and brought us the bill. I did leave a $30 tip on top to bring our bill up to $200, because a tip represents you as a person and not the service. Always tip well people, if you have complaints bring it up to management, but people have to make money for their family's.
The hookah was ok pulled well but no one came around to switch out the coals. I did see on the menu a charge if we wanted a refill but I hope that wasn't just for the coal.
This place has potential but I'm trying to figure out what this place is trying to be. I think this place wants to be a good hookah spot that serves great food but they have bad service.
