Tula Restaurant & Lounge
New Brunswick

(East Brunswick, NJ)
Tula is reshaping the "other" part of New Brunswick. Located just 2 blocks from the Train Station on Easton Avenue (next door to Evelyn's), Tula offers classic ambiance and a light touch of elegance to lunch or dinner. Offering a full bar and wine list, including a dramatic 20+ seats at the long mosaic tiled bar, the food at Tula is exceptional for the price, and is significantly below its competitors on the other side of town (no names...). Featuring seasonal menu's, including steak, pork, salmon, shrimp, chicken, and pasta entree's, you won't want to skip any courses. With appetizers, salads, desserts, and other culinary delights, Chef Sam Fertik (CIA '09) and his crew are definitely succeeding with their new American cuisine with European and Mediteranean influence.
I have personally eaten there over six times for dinner, and sampled many of the dishes. They are also planning to offer prix fixe and chef tasting menu's this fall, and I will definitely be going back.
