    Spinach & Feta bread
    Sebastian H.

    I stopped in with my girl before dinner since there was a wait. The gentleman smiled over at us and came over. Immediately he grabbed a raspberry cookie and handed it to us. Delicious and super fresh. Not too sweet, which keeps you going back for more. Then we got a spinach and feta bread which was also delish. The friendly man, possibly the owner, gives the bakery and old world charm which makes you want to return. I will definitely be back to try his burek next time. Make sure you go. ENJOY!!!

    The man who works here is so nice - he gave us a bunch of pastries to try while we were deciding on what to get! Everything tasted fresh and delicious. My favorites were the pistachio cookie and the baklava!

    I am honoring Kuday Turkish Bakery with my 300th review because it's one of those special places that affirms my belief in the power of food to unite humanity. The kind baker behind the counter, tirelessly turning out fresh baked breads and pastries until 9 pm, says to me "I refuse to sell you anything you haven't tasted". He proceeded to give me a sample of EVERYTHING, and not just itty bitty bites but a complete serving. I was embarrassed when I walked out with only an $8 bill because it felt like I'd robbed the guy of $60 worth of dessert, but when I offered to tip him extra he smiled at me and said "You enjoy the dessert, that is reward enough for me". At Kuday, the variety is limited, but never before has QUALITY over quantity meant more. The first thing you'll see walking in is the baklava and khanafe, front and center: you MUST eat what might be the most flavorful baklava and khanafe I have ever had. The hints of cinnamon laced through the WARM layers of buttery filo, drenched with sweet syrup was to die for. Don't forget about the savory side of things! A freshly baked Spinach Bun was one of the most delicious things I've ever had in my life. Fluffy on the inside with a spinach filling full of so many amazing flavors I can't even identify or describe them, I almost went back into the store and bought every single one he'd just baked. May this bakery be blessed with prosperity for the sake of the kind baker who is every bit as sweet as the desserts he creates

    Very small place. Baklava is always fresh. Owner did not let me buy until I have a sample (free sample). I mentioned that I have kids and got some cookies as a bonus.

    Fresh baklava!

    Stopped by after having dinner next door. Bought a bunch of cookies, bread, pastries, and baklava. The cookies I have tried so far have been fantastic. They gave us samples of their baklava and hands down their baklava is some of the best I've ever had. I would highly recommend. I will definitely be returning.

    Turkish desserts. Prepare to be Turkish delighted

    3 Nov 2024. Ordered two of each of the baklava and one piece of the cream. They are all pretty good even though we are not dessert people.

    Brownie was sooo good i deliberately ignored the calories but seriously soo good…read more I will come back with my girlfriend again.

    Who doesn't love chocolate?…read more It wasn't until 1502 that the Europeans embraced the goodness of this yummy treat, when Columbus, on his fourth voyage to the Americas, seized a canoe filled with cocoa beans and brought them to Europe. It was bitter and did not catch on. People couldn't understand why the South American natives loved the stuff. It took about a hundred years until a group of friars added honey to the bitter liquid, making it sweeter and much tastier. With several locations in northern New Jersey, we went to Totowa right off on Union Blvd. Thanks to my partner's sister's recommendation, we arrived at Chocolate House as first-timers to satisfy our sweet tooth. My partner and I were greeted by the staff upon entering this clean and bright interior, who handed us a menu. It featured crêpes, waffles, cheesecakes, pancakes, shakes, and sundaes. We decided on the Strawberry, Banana, and Nutella Crêpe and Brownie Fudge Waffle. The food was exceptional, far superior to any other place we've tried in a long time. The attention to detail in presentation and taste elevates the experience. Seating is limited on a few tables. Price was reasonable, and the service was friendly and quick. We enjoyed our experience and can recommend this place.

He had tried it at a friend's mosque and he says he's been chasing that high ever since. We figured we'd try to get some at Mokafe. It wasn't too difficult to find street parking, but the cafe was surprisingly busy for a late Sunday night. We placed our order for Adeni Shai, Dubai Knafa Brownie, and a Lotus Biscoff croissant. Everything was delicious. I have never had Yemeni tea before so I didn't have a bar to measure it against. I really enjoyed the tea though my friend said it wasn't exactly what he was looking for. I feel like it could've done with more spices but it still tasted very good. The Dubai Knafa Brownie was excellent. The brownie by itself was nice and moist with the perfect texture for a brownie. The Knafa set it over the top with the crunch and pistachio flavor. I'd definitely get this again. The Lotus Biscoff Croissant was good, but I liked the brownie more. It was about an average croissant but the Biscoff spread added some nice flavor to it. I think it could've used more though. It was buttery and flaky; pillars a of what a croissant should be. However, I'd try another pastry before ordering this again. The place is clean, they play great music, and the service is prompt and friendly. Mokafe is a wonderful Coffee House and I'd love to come back.

    I have fine memories of eating chocolate helva from Helvaci Ali in the Kadıköy çarşı in the evening…read more- sometimes as dessert after a meal at Çiya Sofrası before catching a late ferry back to Eminönü. I would argue that Turkish helva is the superior form, better than its Levantine and South Asian counterparts, with a decadent superfine texture covered in oil, typically served with ice cream. The Turkish chain has now opened an outpost in Paterson, NJ, and while they use a bit more oil than I recall being necessary, it's such a pleasure to have access to this sweet again. The environs are a bit sterile inside, with an overuse of the color "mavi," so on a warm night, I'd instead recommend taking your helva to go for a stroll down Palestine way.

    I really enjoy dining and shopping in Paterson with family and friends. I enjoy acting as an…read moreambassador for Paterson amongst people that I know and meet. Part of that is staying up to date on the new spots in town. I had been watching them renovating and did a bit of research. I found that Helvaci Ali has a rich 100 year history and that this is their second US location. All of that was leading me to want to try it and then a coworker that I recommended Paterson to, returned the favor and told me how good Helvaci Ali was after he tried it. That was the push I needed to walk past my usual favorite dessert spot. (If you come to Paterson often, you'll have a favorite of everything) First things that hit me when I walked in with my daughter was the delightful air conditioning, followed by the stunning decor. Absolutely gorgeous navy blue, with decorative touches and great tables/seating. Next thing that we experienced was incredible service, super pleasant and accommodating staff. They provided samples of the helva and it was love at first bite! Pistachio is always a favorite. They made my daughter and I sundaes with pistachio helva, kunefe topping, and Turkish ice cream. So wonderful! The Turkish ice cream has a unique and lovely texture from a slight thickener that helps it stand up to the heat without melting quickly. That made it ideal for the sundae with the helva. What more can I say other than, add it to my list of Paterson favorites!
