    My finished bowl, formerly of mixed super greens and grilled chicken..
    Scott W.

    My best friend and I have been coming here for well over a year. We come every time I'm in Jersey City (so maybe twice a month on average, weather pernitting.) I've (we've) never had a bad experience. Some days the food is better than others, but it's always great. I would be nitpicky to complain about the pita chips not being garlicky enough some days, but whatever. They're always good. Anyway, the store is always clean, the food is always fresh and the service is always nice. There is a worker there, I think her name is Kimberly, who I swear is ALWAYS smiling. People may not think much of such subtleties, but I, too work in customer service and I will say it does mean a lot. It's nice to see. The staff seems very professional. All are always working and working well together. Communicating, even have friendly banter with one another. They look like they like working here, and for me, it's plesant to see. Thank you guys for all of your hard work and keeping me and my friend fed. I would leave a better pic, but...I ate it all.

    A yummy bowl with my favorite green sauce

    Amazing food super tasty and always fresh thank you. I'll be back. Love the customer service and friendly atmosphere of the staff.

    You see all the freshness?!?!

    FRESH! Like every single item in here is fresh, and bright! It's another Jersey City Lunch, and today we had Cava! Oh what a delight The person behind the corner can see the shear confusion and overwhelm written all over my face. As I'd never been there before. He welcomed me, and told me I didn't have to rush. I opted for a pita, w/ red pepper hummus, white rice, roasted veggies and grilled chicken, tomatoes and cucumbers, corn, and red onion. The cashier was also super patient while I registered for the Lotality program. I barely sat down before taking my first bit out of the warm fluffy stuffed pita It was absolutely delicious!! Well deserved 5 stars, no questions asked I can't wait to return and try different combinations

Went here on a Monday afternoon with my boyfriend and we were absolutely delighted by the service and cuisine. They welcomed us with a basket of pita and bread with two dipping sauces. We got the cheese rolls to split which were amazing. "Better than mozzarella sticks" - my boyfriend. They were delicious so I highly recommend. I got the falafel and hummus as my meal and he got the falafel wrap. The waiter offered additional pitas for the hummus. I also got Turkish coffee which was delightful. It was strong and flavorful and came with a Turkish delight which was a nice touch. It was served on a beautiful plate. At the end of our meal, the waiter offered complimentary Turkish tea, which I had and really enjoyed. I just wish that they had cubed sugar for the tea instead of packets. The price was very reasonable and service exceptional. I really enjoyed the food and the overall experience. It was not busy at all while we were there so please check them out.

    A Little Unassuming Gem for Alexandrian Food in JC…read more I found this place on a Eater Jersey City list and wasn't expecting much but the food was surprisingly delicious. The space is small, about 8 tables, with dated, seventies decor, complete with plastic on the tables. Only one woman in the kitchen. We had the grilled Orata, which came with rice, salad, babaganoush and tahini sauce, side of eggplants with peppers in tomato sauce and the Alexandria style shrimp. Everything was fresh, the fish grilled to perfection and the shrimp well-seasoned. There is also a sandwich menu, but it was not available that day. This place as all of the elements I love in small businesses; no pretention, no gimmicks and no "fusion"...just authentic, simple, home made food, from kitchen straight to my stomach with no orchestra and fireworks. My only gripe is that the prices are high but given that food costs have risen so quickly in the last few years, I completely understand.

    Move over, Astoria--this unremarkable street block offers enough casual Arabic seafood spots to…read moremake any Queens resident take notice. And as a bonus, it has not yet been "discovered" by the Yelp Elite / food influencer crowd (besides yours truly). The Alexandrian Style Shrimp was huge and delicious, but the Grilled Branzino (and really, any whole grilled fish) is the big, belting diva of the menu and one you should not miss. Whole, ground spices are packed into every bite care of lovely marinade, and your teeth will rejoice at how tender the meat is. Entrees all come with generous, complimentary portions of salad, tahini and pita, as well as lots of fluffy rice, so you can't walk away hungry. The prices are on the higher side, sadly--it seems nowhere is immune to inflation these days--but at least you'll get a ton of bang for your buck.
