A word from Roya's Garlic Garden

Roya's Garlic Garden is a European/mediterranean restaurant. We offer many items in our kitchen from French to Italian. We serve our food on an imported oak wooden plank from Sweden. We heat up this plank at 500 degrees in the oven to keep our main entrees hot. In addition to steak and fish, we… also serve pizza and pasta. All of our food is homemade and we use our own unique recipes. Continued

"My party of two was the only one at lunch. Service was, as you might expect, good. The lunch menu is short--not at all the extensive choices available at the dinner hour. I tried an eggplant cassarole dish topped with an egg and served with saffron basmati rice. While the flavors were excellent, the vegetables were mushy and the egg overcooked. My friend reported her chicken skewer dish to be excellent. The atmosphere is very nice and there are many nice vegetarian choices, so I will definitely try this place again."

"We had read excellent reviews for this establishment and chose to dine on Valentine’s Day. That was probably the mistake. Their regular menu was not available (I was looking forward to duck). Instead they offered only a choice of two prix fixe options that featured only salmon, chicken, or steak, rather boring fare for a festive occasion. The Mediterranean option was described as “French inspired”. Having lived in France, we didn’t find it to be French in the least. The food was just okay, comparable to what would be served at a convention for a big group. The saffron rose water ice cream was the best part, but one would have thought that since it was Valentine’s that it’d be accompanied by a cookie or a candy or something memorable. There"

"Our party size kept growing and they didn't miss a beat in accommodating us. The food was very nicely presented and delicious. The portion sizes are perfect to a little on the larger size. The menu has an extensive selection. There is something for everyone here. The service was outstanding. The wine list is more than adequate with a nice price range. We have been here before and we will be back."

"I have gone there with a group 3 times. The food was consistently good and the service was too. We were able to hold a discussion and to hear one another which I prefer in a restaurant. Overall, it is a nice restaurant, excellent food and something different to eat!"

"Roya, her daughter and staff are warm and welcoming. They are always involved in the special preparation and serving of very, very tasty dishes from soups to stews to grill.
It's a convenient location with ample off-street parking. Soft music allows for easy conversation. Be sure to try the "Creamy Ocean Soup" ~~ made fresh from scratch for each person! This is a great place to relax and enjoy a unique and tasty meal!"
