A new location of Cinar Turkish Restaurant opened in March—in Emerson—followed by a Cliffside Park reopening, this time as Cinar Pide and Bakery, in July. The bakery is located just down the block from the Cliffside Park restaurant location. Along with the West Caldwell spot, open since 2016, owner Tunc Ozlu has made a name for himself in Essex and Bergen Counties.
All three restaurants feature Turkish favorites and modern dishes, made from scratch on site. Cinar features an extensive menu of appetizers, entrees, and deserts. The Emerson location, which is spacious while remaining warm and inviting, also offers Turkish wines. If you are unfamiliar with Turkish food, fear not: the descriptive menu is super helpful and the servers are more than willing to help you decide which dishes to try.
