CZEN Restaurant Englewood

My husband and I have been here a few times before and have always enjoyed everything. Tonight we hosted a 15 year anniversary with friends and we couldn’t have asked for better service from CZEN. We were a total of 17 and I have to say our head waiter, Angel was phenomenal! From his timeliness, explanations, easy going manner and overall exceptional service, we were very impressed. He also had other tables to manage as well and we didn’t feel left out at all. The food was ah-mazing and the drinks were delicious! We will absolutely be back and our friends also commented on what a great time they had. I also loved the music they play which contributed to a very chill vibe. Thank you CZEN for a memorable night!

I had a 1:30 reservation and the host was kind enough to accommodate my party and I. I was greeted with smiles and a warm welcome, which is very important to have in an establishment that is fairly new, and thriving for greatness. This restaurant offers a breath of fresh air when it comes to quality customer servicing. We were then seated, where Nessa was our waitress. She was so kind and swift with taking our order. She was informative and had a great deal of patience if you are a picky person. The drinks are REAL DRINKS and the food was breathtakingly good. The complimentary wonton chips/fried plaintain chips were definitely a staple that MUST STAY! I had the Crab Cake and the Lobster W. Waffles (red velvet substitution). They were both tasty and the presentation was immaculate. The owner was attentive and ensured that my visit was well worth the time traveling to this establishment. Definitely would recommend. Music is decent and in the ceiling, so you can hear your loved ones talk while communicating.

It is very hard to find good Caribbean food in NJ. Czen got it right with the oxtails. You get a decent filling portion and they’re well flavored. They did skimp on the rice which is surprising. But it was still a very filling meal. Will be revisiting. FYI: i ordered the oxtails and my partner ordered the jerk chicken. Came with two pieces of chicken. Well flavored, as well. The oxtails are more of a bang for your buck.

My nephew decided to take me to this place. He felt that I would enjoy this place. Guess what? I did. The decor is beautiful, and the server was quick and professional. There was parking available, which is a plus.

The oxtail rice bowl was perfectly seasoned, with the tender meat melting in your mouth. For the first time, I indulged in fried ice cream drizzled with rich chocolate sauce and topped with a delightful mango compote. It was absolutely delectable! JA-Mal was exceptionally attentive, and his charm was truly breathtaking. Birthday vibes were in full effect!
