Lemon Mediterranean Restaurant - Mediterranean restaurant in Freehold - 3475 US-9, USA

We made a reservation for an all gluten-free table at Lemon early on New Years Eve. Chef Ash called us before we our visit to assure us we would be handled by him and the staff. When we arrived, they seated us, and we opened a bottle of Rose we brought along (BYOB). We ordered a few appetizers, octopus, hummus, and they also made us some special crispy bread made from chick pea. It was delicious. For dinner, our waiter helped us order by marking up a menu. We ordered Braised Lamb Shoulder, Spanish Paella, and New Zealand Rack of Lamb. All were delicious and we enjoyed our dinner. For dessert, we had cappuccinos with Flourless Chocolate Torte and Mango Panna Cotta. The mango dessert was especially light and tasty. Overall, we had an excellent night and our members with a gluten allegy enjoyed the food and service. We will definitely be back.

2nd time here. We arrived at 4 pm- before anyone else on a Saturday evening. The manager welcomed us right away. We had the shrimp torte appetizer, and we bought our own wine. We ordered the Lamb Tajin, Shrimp and Long Island Clam. Absolutely delicious !! For desert, we had the bread pudding with ice cream. Lemon never disappoints, and the manager and staff always check in. Highly recommend.

After exploring various Middle Eastern restaurants in Atlanta & South California, we came across Lemon restaurant for our anniversary and decided to take a plunge. We booked a reservation for two. Unfortunately, we were late by 7 mins waited for few mins. The staff said the kitchen was closed. After explaining that we made a reservation a day ahead, we were let in. We ordered the starters and entrees at the same time. There was nothing to complain about food. Pretty standard. However you may have to note, the food cannot be expected to have Indian taste. Its a different feel altogether. If you haven’t explored different food culture, then this may not be for you. Quantity is a lot! The staffs are polite. The restaurant doesn’t serve any alcohol, so make sure you bring one for your dinner date. Prices are NOT AT ALL bad. If you are planning for any dinner dates, anniversaries or family get together, this is a must try restaurant. We finally realized that we were greeted by Chef Ash!

The best Moroccan/Mediterranean food in the NJ state. Absolutely loved everything from the kale salad, soup, rack of lamb and baklava! Superb! My compliments to the chef and the entire team. The manager however tried to be clever with me, he added the hummus which is complimentary but he added that in the price and the waitress sid that he said he told me that it was going to be added but when he got caught, he said okay i'll cut it. Really hope the owner takes action because it took away the extra 2 stars because of his actions. Waitresses were amazing nevertheless

Placed an order in door dash. Had a small issue with my order, the owner made good on it 100% means alot as a customer and shows how great and standup the owner is. 6th time ordering from here and every single time the food has been absolutely delicious. Next time my wife and I need to come in for dinner !

The staff was amazing and the food was delicious! Our server was so kind. We had forgotten our wine bottle at home and she made arrangements for us to hv wine with our food. We were so touched. And in the end, they even gave us dessert on the house. We are definitely coming back to this restaurant.

Wonderfully balanced menu where each bite is in harmony with all the other parts. Very healthy , vegetarian, gluten free options available. Lots of choices of foods and a selection of daily specials. The chef Ash has somehow melded that sweet touch of home cooked meals with professional techniques. We got the falafel, duck, and pappardelle. We got some warm pita and fresh hummus with our appetizer too. Everything tasted so fresh. My only complaint was the server was in a rush to take away our pita after we basically licked that hummus plate clean.... Probably so we'd save our appetites for the entree 😅 (thanks). The desserts all sounded heavenly as well. We had a mango panna cotta and it was 🤌🤌 They're BYOB!

We love going to Lemon!! It's always exciting to see what Chef Ash has on his menu- he's got a very unique way of preparing his dishes! The dishes are original, uncommon to say the least and absolutely delicious! Plus, great service!!! Friendly and attentive! You can byob too! I highly recommend you go hungry and leave room for dessert!
