I was surprised that it was as good as the mezz platter at my favorite middle eastern restaurant. My table also had the Lahmacun which was a hit, and I had the vegetable pide which I didn't care for.

I went with eggplant salad and lamb adana. The bread they put on the table was fresh, warm, crisp on outside and soft and chewy on the inside and was a great accompaniment to the eggplant. I could have used a little more seasoning but it was fine. The lamb adana was very good, but I was disappointed with the tomato and pepper that came on the side.

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.

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.

Absolutely brilliant. Two words to describe what has easily become my newest favorite traditional…read moremiddle eastern restaurant. 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.

In fact, we were the only people inside until another couple nicely showed up as we were on our way out. Hoboken's changed a lot during the years and decades. However, it's quite evident why Ali Baba's hung around for more than 40 years. It's all about the consistency. We ordered the Spinach Pie and Fried Halloumi Cheese as starters. Both tasted very well. I just added a pinch of the hot sauce to both and it added a perfect bounce to it. I stuck with the falafel sandwich for dinner so my fiancée could eat a chicken sandwich. It was a generous portion. So much so that the sandwich itself pretty much came apart so I had to eat it with a fork and knife. That's okay for me. I also added a little hot sauce to this for extra flavor, but the fixings are pretty standard. Anyhow, we got our satisfaction for Mediterranean food in the area. Can't ask for more.
