I originally found this place on Uber eats as I was craving a little something more than just some takeout. Little did I know this would be the biggest gem I could've imagined finding! Alkofeia is a Palestinian operated restaurant (with one Jordanian) in the heart of Bayonne. As it's the middle of Ramadan I decided to go there in person and order myself a very traditional dish called Mansef. The staff were extremely busy and yet they gave me their full attention. It was just past the time to break fast, and they offered me some fresh Arabic coffee and dates to break my fast. As for the location itself, the seating is a bit packed but they will accommodate bigger parties with advanced notice. Also, the aura and atmosphere really takes you away from the city and suddenly you feel as though you are back in the street markets of Palestine with all kinds of art and patriotic memorabilia. If you are looking for delicious, original, and traditional food -- don't waste your time anywhere else.

The menu is extensive and they newly added some gyro loaded fries which sound delicious. Don't miss out on this delicious authentic Greek restaurant in Bayonne. Also- if you pay with card you get charged a surcharge fee. Just an FYI.

My husband and i both had leftovers which never happens. I was surprised to see some Egyptian drinks in the fridge and indulged in an apple malt beverage that tasted like non-alcoholic apple beer. Super tasty! Service was also great. The owner even gave us samples of pita chips and hummus. Both were delicious! I think they make the hummus there. We'll definitely come back to try more apps.

Gypsy Grill was my go-to for a quick, satisfying meal without having to think too much - consistently great over the years and a source of comfort and flavor for me and many others. My go-to order was the chicken shawafel sandwich. They offer three spice levels and the garlic sauce is amazing. I've had shawarma sandwiches at many places across the country and this one is among my top favorites. Their kofta sandwich was great too, the gypsy fries are well seasoned and crispy, and their baklava is delicious. Good value overall. The restaurant is family run and the people are incredibly kind and courteous - a couple of times they got my order slightly wrong and went out of their way to make it right. A true neighborhood gem and I hope it's still thriving.

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.

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.
