The Garden
Hookah and BYOB under the stars
When the kitchen quiets and the lanterns come on, the backyard Garden comes alive. Our covered open-air lounge is built for long, easy evenings with friends.
Settle in with a hookah, a bottle of your own wine or beer with no corkage, and a plate of warm kunefe. The Garden is open late, seven days.

“The most authentic Turkish food in North Jersey. The mixed grill is enormous and every bite tastes like someone's grandmother made it.”

Our story
A family table, now with a new name
For years, our family cooked for North Haledon as High Mountain Mediterranean. The recipes came with us from the Turkish table: charcoal grills, slow-roasted lamb, and mezze made by hand.
Origin is the next chapter. The same family and the same kitchen, now with BYOB, a covered garden lounge, and doors open late, every day.
