Adonis Market, a Lebanese restaurant located in North Brunswick, New Jersey, is proud to bring these bold, mouthwatering flavors to the community. 

At Adonis Market, we strive to deliver the most authentic Mediterranean experience, offering a wide array of dishes that are deeply rooted in Lebanese culinary tradition. Whether you're enjoying a simple lunch or celebrating a special occasion, our carefully crafted menu is designed to satisfy every palate.

From savory pastries to refreshing beverages and indulgent desserts, our offerings capture the essence of Mediterranean cooking at its finest. 

Signature Dishes: A Symphony of Flavor 

One of the standout features of Adonis Market’s menu is the variety of signature dishes that exemplify the best of Lebanese cuisine. Each dish is prepared with the freshest ingredients, including handpicked vegetables, locally sourced meats, and a harmonious blend of herbs and spices.

Let's take a closer look at some of the must-try dishes you can find at our restaurant. 

Manakish: A Lebanese Classic 

If you're looking to explore a quintessential Lebanese dish, Manakish is a great place to start. This traditional Lebanese flatbread is often referred to as "Lebanese pizza" due to its similar appearance, but it’s so much more than that.

At Adonis Market, we serve Manakish fresh from the oven, topped with a variety of delicious fillings that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. 

Our Manakish is typically made with a dough base that's soft yet crispy, and topped with ingredients like za'atar (a mix of dried thyme, sesame seeds, and sumac), cheese, or minced meat. The warm, flavorful topping melds perfectly with the dough, creating a satisfying, aromatic experience.

It is a popular choice for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, and it pairs beautifully with a cup of refreshing Ayran, a traditional yogurt drink also available at Adonis Market. 

Kishik: A Hearty Delight 

Another must-try dish at Adonis Market is Kishik, a Lebanese comfort food that’s both nutritious and flavorful. This dish consists of a blend of wheat, yogurt, and a variety of spices, which are combined into a thick, creamy consistency.

The result is a rich, hearty dish that is typically served warm, often with a sprinkle of olive oil, a dash of dried herbs, and some fresh bread on the side. 

Kishik is a popular dish in Lebanese households and is cherished for its wholesome nature. It's perfect for those looking for a healthy, filling meal that doesn’t sacrifice taste.

At Adonis Market, we serve Kishik with our signature seasonings to bring out the authentic flavors of Lebanon, making it the ideal choice for anyone seeking something hearty yet satisfying. 

Spinach Pie: A Flaky, Savory Treat 

If you're in the mood for a savory pastry, our spinach pie is a must-have. Known as "Sfeeha" in Lebanese culture, spinach pie is a flaky, golden pastry stuffed with a delicious mixture of spinach, onions, and spices. The combination of fresh spinach, aromatic herbs, and just the right amount of tanginess creates a burst of flavor in every bite. 

Spinach pie is a staple in Lebanese cuisine, often served as an appetizer or snack. It’s perfect for any occasion, whether you’re gathering with friends, enjoying a family meal, or simply craving something light yet flavorful.

The flaky pastry and savory filling make this dish an unforgettable experience, and it's sure to become one of your favorite menu items at Adonis Market. 

Fresh Juices and Beverages: A Refreshing Experience 

To complement the rich flavors of our Mediterranean dishes, Adonis Market offers a variety of refreshing beverages that perfectly balance the spices and savory ingredients in our meals.

Our freshly squeezed juices, including classic orange and pomegranate, are made with the highest quality fruits to ensure you enjoy a vibrant, natural taste. Pomegranate juice, in particular, is known for its health benefits and is a staple in Mediterranean diets. 

Additionally, we offer traditional drinks like Ayran and Laziza. Ayran is a refreshing yogurt-based drink that’s known for its cooling properties, making it the perfect accompaniment to spicy or hearty meals.

Laziza, a sweet and fruity soft drink, is another customer favorite that pairs beautifully with our savory dishes, adding a sweet touch to your Mediterranean meal. 

Indulgent Desserts: Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth 

No meal is complete without dessert, and at Adonis Market, we take pride in offering some of the best traditional Lebanese sweets.

Our Nutella Banana dessert is a favorite among our guests, combining the rich, creamy taste of Nutella with the natural sweetness of ripe bananas. This indulgent treat is served in a soft, flaky pastry, offering the perfect balance of sweetness and texture. 

For those looking for something more traditional, we offer a variety of classic Lebanese desserts like baklava and ma’amoul. These pastries are filled with rich nuts and flavored with rose water and orange blossom, creating a sweet, fragrant treat that perfectly caps off your meal.

Whether you prefer something chocolatey or nutty, our desserts are the perfect way to end your Mediterranean culinary experience at Adonis Market.
