Saffron has a wonderful lunch buffet that we would recommend to anyone looking for a great escape in the middle of a hard work day, and we also love coming in for dinner with a group of friends and family. We absolutely love their chicken tikka masala, and the mango lassi is also amazing. The service here is really wonderful, and that high quality also extends to the staff in the back of the restaurant. They really know how to craft these amazing dishes, and as the customer you get to reap all the rewards of that. You'll love the cozy atmosphere too. Some think that you can only get good Indian food in NYC, but Saffron is Zagat rated, so you know it's good. Come in and find out for yourself.

Something Sweet Dessert Cafe is a real essential in Middletown! We love the fact that they have chosen to focus exclusively on desserts, because that's clearly their gift! This establishment has been gracing Middletown with its presence since 2004, and we just love the cute decor. It's so nice to come in and grab a delicious coffee, some cookies or cake or whatever your favorite dessert may be, and just relax. We are big fans of their brie appetizer, and we also love their french onion soup! The chocolate tart is just ridiculously addictive, so much that we have come in for it several times and grabbed an extra to go for later! Be sure to try it when you come in. One of our highest recommendations goes to Something Sweet.

Nina is rumored to be the very best restaurant in Middletown, and we are inclined to think that rumor is fact! We absolutely love their selection of liquors and spirits here, especially because they've always got Hendrick's Gin. We've been here several times for their delicious brunch on Sundays, and the french toast with bananas and chocolate sauce is one of the major reasons to turn out for that! Way too good. They've got wonderful appetizers here too including a seafood crepe and wonderful calamari. The cajun chicken pasta is an excellent choice for your entree, and for a brewski you can't go wrong with a belgian pale ale. They've got everything that you love here and then some. Great service too.

El Tapatio is THE place for authentic Mexican food in Middletown! It's very traditional and true comfort food. If you're used to the more "chain restaurant" type of Mexican food, this may be a change of pace for you. It's not so loaded with cheese and sauce because they don't have anything to cover up here. Everything is delicious all the way through. The restaurant is always packed with happy customers enjoying their chicken flautas, shredded beef tacos, and of course that amazing cactus salad and the fresh guac! We can't get enough of all the fresh offerings here, and one of the perks that we especially enjoy is that jukebox that's filled with traditional Mexican music! Gotta love it!

Famous Deli-Licious Italian Pork Store is fit for foodies and then some! Everybody that we know goes wild over this place, recommending it to everyone they know, and now we know why. You can go bargain basement with a simple ham and cheese sandwich, or opt for something like the veal and really find out what true quality is about! Whether you go cheap or luxurious though, everything here is excellent. We can't seem to come in without spending a huge chunk of change on a ton of good stuff to take home! But then that's what we're there for. Pricey? Yes. But totally worth it. A huge hero sandwich can set you back almost fifteen dollars, but you won't regret it!

El Bandido is an awesome Mexican restaurant where you can get amazing food, including superbly fresh guacamole that's worth even a long trip, and delicious sangria that will really make your mouth water. The prices are a bit high here, but you definitely get what you pay for. Some say there's too much cheese on everything, but we are cheese lovers so we disagree--however you may want to tell them to go light on the cheese if you're not as big of a fan as we are! We love the dark vibe and the art on the walls, and the live mariachi music is very cool too! Even though so many complain about the high prices (and they ARE high), we really love this place and think it's worth it. Use your own judgement.

Blue Finn is an absolutely irresistible sushi bar that we have been coming to for quite some time now. They've got a lot of delicious offerings beyond just the sushi, including delicious fried pork dumplings, fresh soups, delicious Asian fish and chips, and even fresh cod with carmelized garlic and spinach. Now those are some flavors that are worth writing about! The tempura calamari is a very nice starter too, and the spicy tuna rolls are one of our favorite things to get here. They've got a very unique roll that combines tuna, apple, and cheddar (sorry we can't remember the name of this one!) that we would recommend very highly. The white dragon roll is another one of our favorites. Reasonable prices here too!

Cheeseburger in Paradise is a part of that famous Jimmy Buffet chain of restaurants of course, and we always love coming in for some of their famous food and  drinks. The cheeseburgers, ironically, have never really done it for us here and it seems that a lot of people feel the same way that we do. The rest of the menu, though, is stellar. Tthey've got a lot more than just cheeseburgers here! The conch fritters are a very nice choice for a starter and we also enjoy the spinach and crab dip. The island quesadilla is one of our favorite items too, and paired with a nice pina colada, which is rich and creamy like a milk shake, you'll really feel like you're living it up on an Island somewhere. Gotta love it!

Planet Wings is all about... you guessed it... wings! They've got a wild variety of other foods here too though, including a philly cheese steak sandwich that will make your mouth water. We recommend ordering it with "extra everything" -- grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms, and melted cheese -- and it'll really be an extra juicy and delicious cheesesteak. Try the chicken variation of that too, it's wonderful, and it makes sense since the focus of this restaurant is chicken anyway! The curly fries are perfect to pair with anything, and they go well with all 24 flavors of wings. The honey barbecue is irresistible, and everybody seems to love the medium. Try them all!

You You Restaurant is a great little Chinese restaurant with Americanized portions for those hearty appetites. The moo shu pork is one of our favorites here, and everyone that we know really loves it too. Try the sweet and sour pork too, that's always a nice choice. The pu pu platter is a nice choice when you are having a lot of guests too because everybody can grab a bite of something. It seems like almost all of the restaurants in this area are chain restaurants, and we're happy to say that's not the case with You You. There's only one of these, and we love it. Try the pork buns and the sesame chicken too! Everything is just so good here, including the service. Very comfortable place to dine anytime.
