NORTH JERSEY — New restaurants have sprouted around North Jersey since fall began, with a slew of new choices opening.
If you’re trying to sneak in some outdoor dining, leaf peeping, or hiking in the Garden State before winter comes, here are five area restaurants to try that either opened or made a major change in the last several weeks.
Mishta Restaurant, Hillsborough
Mishta Restaurant, an upscale Indian restaurant, was set to open at 220 Triangle Road in Hillsborough on Oct. 18.”Get ready to indulge in an evening of mouthwatering dishes, vibrant ambiance, and memories that will last forever,” wrote the eatery. Owner Parthiv Buch has switched gears from a pharmaceutical career to open the eatery, with spices and food prepared in-house. Find out more here.
The Address, Morristown
The Address, a Greek and Mediterranean restaurant is Morristown, soft opened over the summer, but held its grand opening celebration on Oct. 23. Dishes include braised lamb shank, seared Maine diver scallops with white truffle oil, and grilled chicken souvlaki,and appetizers like Spanakopita and grilled Mediterranean octopus. They’re located at 20 South St. Find out more here.
Byrd, Hoboken
Ehren Ryan, the Australian-born chef at the new restaurant Byrd in Hoboken, said he never intended to serve brunch at the eatery when it opened in June. But customers started asking, so as of early October, they’ve added the option on Sundays. Their spacious spot alongside Hoboken’s 9th Street light rail station — making it convenient to anywhere in Hudson County — has already gained a devoted clientele. Ryan also owns the popular restaurant Common Lot in Millburn, which doesn’t serve brunch. So if you want to try his breakfast offerings, head to Hoboken. The brunch menu includes Cilbir eggs (Turkish eggs), smoked salmon and potato cakes, avocado toast with egg, chicken and waffles, prime skirt steak with two fried eggs, and gluten free pancakes. There’s also a kids’ menu and a drink menu. Find out more here.
Sigri Indian BBQ And Wing It On, Newark
You’ll now be able to order “authentic” North Indian dishes and traditional chicken wings under one roof in Newark, as Craveworthy Brands has brought a new Wing it On! location at 155 University Ave. It’s a “co-branded” concept sharing a space with Sigri Indian BBQ. Find out more here.
Miznon Kosher, Holmdel
Celebrity Chef Eyal Shani opened Miznon Kosher, his Mediterranean street food restaurant, about a month ago at Bell Works, the shopping
and event space at the former site of Bell Labs in Holmdel. Shani, a chef on “Food for Thought” and Israel’s “Master Chef,” opened his first Miznon in Tel Aviv in 2011. He can seat up to 65 guests at the new spot. Find out more here.
Closings
Milk & Cream Bar, a dessert shop in Jersey City, closed a week ago, and Jerrell’s Betr Brgr in Hoboken also closed, although the latter says they’ll reopen in Jersey City.
