    When we visit our daughter, we very often will choose Mezza Luna if we can obtain a reservation. We prefer the BYOB option (wine store next door) and love the cuisine there. The staff is so friendly and welcoming!

    This was our first time dining at this restaurant. Murat, pardon the spelling, was very attentive, kind, and delightful. There was very nice background music of cover songs, and the place was clean and well decorated in the Mediterranean theme. The food was incredibly fresh, and the presentation was visually appealing. The menu was very unique and had a lot of options. The only downside was that the portions of protein were not very substantial. Other than that, this place was fantastic and we are looking forward to returning and would recommend everyone give it a try!

    This was our first experience a Mauryas - they opened 7 months ago, but we hadn't heard about it. The staff went above and beyond to set up a table for us to be in the main dining room, provided extras that were not on the bill like preappetizers , prosecco and a birthday dessert. The food was incredibly good - we ordered off the Elevated Indian menu. They are able to accomodate parties of two, five, or up to 12-15! They also have an upstairs private dining/reception area, and a second dining roo which could be private or not. The service was overall exceptional. It is a short drive from Princeton center to the Forrestal Village where Mauyas is located - and parking is easy and free!
