Loving Hut Vegan Cuisine Coming to Matawan

For those readers who are interested in such matters, Chowhound has an ongoing discussion about some new restaurants coming to our section of Route 34. You might want to have a look. I've discussed a few of them (the burger places) in this space before, but the following start ups are new to me. Let me know if you can confirm any of these.

Loving Hut USA is bringing its vegan cuisine to Matawan on Route 34 near Broad Street. I couldn't find any mention online of a Bliss Mediterranean Cuisine, but that's supposedly getting ready to open in the center on Route 34 in Aberdeen with D A Subs and the Doctor's Office. Someone commented that Matawan BBQ, across from the train station, is closed. Another person said La Mexicana in downtown Matawan is closed and/or under new management.

Chowhound is a great way to keep up with local restaurants. You might want to track their New Jersey board. I simply run a Google Alert for Matawan and new Chowhound discussions come to my mailbox.

    I've been to their NYC place. Excellent Vegan foods. A bit pricey though.

    Bliss Mediterranean Cuisine is open in the long white building across from Strathmore Shopping Center. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet. I hope the Loving Hut Vegan Restaurant is really coming to Rt. 34, becasue I'm a vegetarian and have been wailing over 30 years for a vegetarian restaurant around here! Anyone know why it hasn't opened yet and when it's opening?

    Bliss Mediterranean Cuisine used to be Bella Serra (sp?) at a different location. Same owners, updated menu.


    Loving Hut Matawan will be opening soon. Can't wait!

    The Matawan shop's website and Loving Hut USA's Facebook page both say the Matawan shop is not yet open. It often takes a long time to get the necessary permits in Matawan Borough.

    I talked to the Loving Hut people at Matawan Day today. They told me they expect to open in two weeks. Like I guessed last week, they are waiting for Borough inspections.
