ABOUT Mosaica
Nestled in the corner of the Milburn shopping mall, Mosaica is a charming and cozy French Mediterranean restaurant offering a wide range of delicious and innovative dishes. The restaurant is named Mosaica for two reasons. One, for the cultural mosaic of 14 different countries bordering the Mediterranean and the influence of their cuisine. The other is that a mosaic has many tiles with lots of colors. Similarly, the restaurant’s food is prepared with many spices and colors.

The restaurant was taken over in April of 2006, by restaurateur Dalia Barness of The Orchid and Michel Toledano. They are determined to maintain the same high standards of former owner and chef Todd Aarons. All foods are freshly prepared and all meats are trimmed, marinated and aged to perfection. The restaurant’s sophisticated menu is based on seasonal changes and is a product of the Chef’s palate, Moses Wendel and his expertise. A lot of work goes into their selections and once you complete your meal, you will surely notice that. You are also encouraged to bring your own Mevushal wine.

The aroma and flavors of dishes that are centuries old and boldly modern will nurture your soul and please your palate. Experience the House Cured Merguez with Arugula, Chickpea Polenta, Red Onion/ Red Pepper Jam and Harissa Puree. Braised Lamb Shank is the real deal with Tahina Jus, Egyptian Spiced Fava Beans, Almonds and Golden Raisins. After dinner, end on the rich note of warm chocolate cake with pistachio/ coconut ice cream. They were recently written up in the New Jersey Star Ledger, where they declared, “you don't have to be Jewish to enjoy Mosaica, a high-style kosher restaurant featuring expressive French/Moroccan cuisine.”

[continued above, right]


The restaurant is in close proximity to Staten Island and Newark Airport and they’re a quick ride from the famous Paper Mill Playhouse and Short Hills Mall. When you come into this restaurant, you will be served in a setting and ambiance that makes you come back for more. If you enjoy fine, eclectic cuisine, you will most definitely be impressed with Mosaica. Planning a party or event? Mosaica will take care of all your catering needs with the same uncompromising quality and savoir-faire experienced in the restaurant.

This is probably one of the best fine dining Kosher Restaurants in the New York Metro Area. The Chef has a French Cuisine background that shows. Portions are generous. We have been going to Mosaica for many years now, and the place has improved significantly. I have dined in many of New York Kosher restaurants and I will rank Mosaica at the very top! 		0 person likes

I must say that the food is great and with a great presentation. Chef Moses makes every little ingredient count on your dish. I can assure you that any dish you ordered will be excellent.

Bon Appetit! 		0 person likes

Todd (who took down our 10th-anniv-dinner reservations) wasn't there the night that we dined (our first visit there -- we certainly hope to return), but he ensured that the server treated us right (a complimentary appetizer for us both and a complimentary slice of that heavenly choc. cake, adorned with a candle, for my wife). The server himself wasn't top-notch (he didn't mention the "special" entree that wasn't on that week's menu, and he was too enthralled with the kitchen goings-on and his conversation with the other server to notice that we were done with the entrees and looking forward to his continued service -- as part of visiting the WC, I clued him in on walking to our table), but the food was excellent!

Todd strives for a combination of tastes, and the dishes we tried were mostly successful in that regard. The foie gras appetizer was nothing to write home about, but the comp. appetizer of [duck?] liver and berries was delicious, as were our entrees, the duck with its polenta & potatoes and the lamb with its rice and beans. The choc. cake with pareve cream was, as I mentioned, out of this world! At this time, expect to pay on the order of $50/person (before any coupons you may wish to redeem ;-)), but you should receive a wonderful meal in return.

The menu we perused already is quite different from what's currently posted on this site, so even frequent visitors should never feel compelled to order the same item they previously savored. The restaurant itself is literally a hole in the wall, on the order of 10'x50', which hopefully will keep rental costs down and help Todd "make it" financially. The decor is understated, but as I didn't see any sound-absorbing elements (besides the entrance's hanging rugs), the place may be rather noisy if it's filled to capacity (which it definitely was not when we were there). Any questions, please reply to this message. Thanks! 		0 person likes
