“Craft cocktails in a cozy colorful outdoor patio. The perfect place to relax after a long week!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“SO SO GOOD. I went here a few weeks ago and am still thinking about it . A hidden gem. Very experimental Thai, and WOW, so tasty. Incredible service. Owner was clearly passionate, talented, humble, honest, and kind.”
“Amazing food for a great value. We spent $25 less than the $100 I thought we would. We had 2 dinners, 3 appetizers, a cocktail, and a sangria.
The food was phenomenal, the prices were mind blowing.”
“Wow! Had an outstanding night at the Roxy and I think it’s been my best bite in JC.
Service was incredible, friendly, and attentive. We did go at an off peak time, so we got extra special service. However, I think at any time the service would be top notch.
The cocktails were excellent. Extremely balanced, delicious and amazingly seasonal.
The food was soooo good. I had the short rib special and I highly recommend it while it’s available. Absolutely delicious and the best short rib dish I’ve had.
I can’t wait to return!”

“The service and the food were absolutely amazing. I ordered the ricotta toast and the melon salad. Both were exquisite full of flavor. Then we ordered two pasta dishes that were magnificent. We were fortunate enough to be seated in front of the chefs. The head Chef was so kind and making jokes all night which made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. Thank you! We will certainly be back.”
“This is our and our friends’ favorite brunch spot — the food, the service, the interior, every detail perfectly reflects the spirit of this place. The owner puts his heart into it, goes above and beyond to deliver top quality, and has built a deep connection with the neighborhood over the years. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a place with soul and real dedication.”
“I grew up in NYC so I’m no stranger to halal carts. Since I’ve moved to JC (which I know is only across the river, but the food scene really is different), I have yet to find my go-to halal spot… until now! I paid $10 for a chicken over rice. The chicken was so juicy and they were very generous with the chicken and sauce. So delicious but also so dangerous that I’m so close by”
“I honestly can't remember the last time I visited a restaurant and gave it a perfect 10 across the board, but this place truly deserves it. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. I needed the restroom right away, and the bartender, Orlando, kindly escorted me to it, making me feel so welcomed. Once we were seated, the food started arriving, and I was blown away. The chef here is absolutely amazing. Her dishes are not only delicious but also incredibly well-prepared. The unique flavor combinations and creativity are outstanding. It's honestly some of the best food and service I've had in a while. I left feeling like I spent my money very happily. I truly hope this hidden gem and the talented chef behind it get the recognition they deserve for their incredible work."”
“This cute little "hole in the wall" is truly a hidden gem! While in reality, it's no hole in the wall at all. You actually feel like you're in a small shop in India when dining-in with the colorful decorations, background music and overall setup of the restaurant. Not to mention the food, which was absolutely amazing! Very tasteful chaat and small dishes, each with it's own little twist. I got:
-masala chai
-mango lassi
-Chinese Frankie (get it on a paratha)
-Chili Cheese Corn Grilled Sandwich
-to top it off, get their Chocolate Pan - it was bomb!
EVERYTHING was 10/10. I loved the food so much, I get went again the next day.
Ask for Ajay or Shubham - very friendly folks who'll take great care of you while there!”
“We ordered takeout for the first time from this place, and it was fantastic! We had been wanting to try it for a while. We ordered the paneer timepass, dabeli, butter locho, pav bhaji, and cold coffee. The food was amazing—great portion sizes and a traditional taste in every item. The prices were very reasonable, too. We’ll definitely be back!”
“DomoDomo never disappoints! The sushi is incredibly fresh and beautifully presented, and the hand rolls are next-level delicious. The atmosphere is sleek yet cozy, and the service is always on point. A standout spot for sushi lovers in Jersey City!”
“Excellent food and great customer service. Overall an amazing experience”

“Probably the coolest vibes outside of the West Village—and it’s right in the heart of JC. Frankie’s is an effortlessly stylish Australian spot that feels like a hidden gem but delivers like a destination. Whether you’re trying to impress out-of-towners or a date, this place hits the mark.
Drinks? Solid across the board. The Lovely Creature—served in a whimsical frog mug—is a spicy mezcal punch that feels tailor-made for a boat cruise or summer rooftop hang. But the standout is Let’s Stay Together—an unbelievable old fashioned that balances depth, smoothness, and just the right twist to make you rethink what an old fashioned can be.
Food-wise, don’t skip the kimchi fried chicken. It’s crispy, punchy, and totally worthy of main dish status. Sit at the bar if you can—it’s the best seat in the house to soak in the atmosphere, the music, and the laid-back but elevated energy.
Frankie’s isn’t just good—it’s one of the best spots in Jersey City, full stop.”
“After two visits in the past six weeks, I have had a very consistent positive experience. The food is great. Cocktails tasty. I like their background sound track which appears as a mix of 80s new rock.
Had the sunflower linguini most recently- what a great marriage of flavor! Pesto based heavy on the garlic which I loved. We started with the whipped ricotta with flat bread- nice consistency and the thinly sliced grapes add a pleasant texture and taste.
Service was awesome. Very attentive- helpful with menu suggestions and prompt.
Overall this has been a nice find as I’ve only been to Jersey City twice. It’s right next door to White Eagle and a great opportunity to combine dinner with live music.”
“Ondo was exceptional! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. While the layout and vibe of the restaurant are more casual than upscale, the quality of the food more than makes up for it.
Chef Brian Kim, the owner of Ondo, also created the Michelin-starred Oiji Mi in NYC—so it’s no surprise that this spot is just as impressive. Ondo offers a tasting menu that’s a more affordable yet equally delicious alternative to Oiji Mi. It’s a fantastic way to experience elevated Korean cuisine without the Michelin price tag.
Chef Brian also owns other restaurants, including Domo Domo, and Ondo is a wonderful addition to his portfolio. The restaurant is co-owned with his wife, who leads the pastry program, adding a sweet finishing touch to an already amazing meal. Definitely worth a visit!”
“I've been looking forward to trying this restaurants menu items. yesterday was only the 1st, for sure. I had a shrimp po boy, perfect, packed with shrimp, just the right sauces, really good. I took home a container of their vegan lentil soup which is better than my lentil soup. that's not a small thing. beautifully balanced flavor, really delicious. I can't wait to go back and try everything else.”

“I've been here so many times I've lost count. My favorite dish is the oil spill noodles. I typically also order the delicious homemade yogurt to soothe the heat of the spice.”

“I happen to walk by and saw this spot and I thought it was brand new so I decided to try it out when I saw their outside advertisement for halal Moroccan tacos. I didn’t know what to expect but it was absolutely delicious. The sauce was perfect, it’s unlike the hot sauce or white sauce that you would get on the platters. It’s something different and really nice. Not spicy but flavorful. It’s kind of Ike a quesadilla/taco/burrito mixed together. So delicious. The chicken was perfection. Also.. the fries were great. Crunchy but soft inside! I was truly impressed with this meal and I think it was about $12 with a drink. Inside there’s plenty of room to sit and the atmosphere is very laid-back. I like how they had all the flags up and some Moroccan decor. They even have hot coffee. I’ll be back to try their platters and see how that goes but they definitely got me with the Moroccan taco!”
“Delicious Dominican food, the place is small but the attention and the food is great I have no complaints and the prices are average 🙌🏼
Delicious Dominican food, the place is small but the service and food is super good, I have no complaints and I love that the prices are affordable 🙌🏼”
“Navin is the best employee EVER! Amazing customer service, very attentive and respectful. He remember my orders. I have my family come here and the say that same. He definitely should be Employee of the Year and get a nice raise. I’ve been coming here for 3 months and not one complaint. He is fast and effective!! Keeps everything nice, clean and organized. 100/10!! I recommend it!”
“Dunkin' has really impressed me with their delicious food offerings, from freshly baked donuts to flavorful breakfast sandwiches. The staff here is always friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a quick bite. Highly recommend for a satisfying meal any time of day!"”
“There was no vanilla with sprinkles (my favourite)but they worked hard to make those donuts and the atmosphere was very clean and good and my friends enjoyed the donuts but they wanted more.
Kid-friendliness: The kids loved the donuts and they wanted some more but mom said "Only one donut per kid.".”
“We came back here twice, the food was so good! The first visit we ordered the duck and it was so tasty and good value. During the second visit we ordered an assortment of dishes including seafood noodles, kung Pao chicken and braised beef with potatoes. They are all great! Would come back again if we are ever in Jersey City”
“Great food and super friendly staff who couldn’t do more for you. Had such a lovely evening here. Highly recommend!”

“We have gotten take out from here several times and have loved the food. We go here for our Kerala food fix and the flavors are spot on. The food feels homemade and the spices are just right. My personal favorites are the banana leaf fish pollichathu, kerala chicken fry, chicken roast, chicken curry and fish curry with the tapioca. The owners are lovely people too!”
“I’ve been wanting to come here for the past 2 months here. Last night, finally I was able to come. I am shocked that they’ve been in business for more than a year and I just found them now?Being an avid bubble tea lover along with my kids, I can’t say enough good things about this place. It is a hidden gem in the heart of JSQ. The owner is very down to earth and a people person. You won’t step out of that place without a smile. She will make your drink according to your preference. You can make as many adjustments as you’d like and she will do it with a smile.
We ordered 2 Oreo shakes and a latte bubble tea. I ordered them in M size, but she gave me in L size? and still charged me for M. My kids loved their Oreo shakes and I very much enjoyed my latte. I can’t wait to go back and try the other bubble tea flavors and the waffles and crepes.
I pray that their business thrives and expands!”

“I live in the area and attend college out of town so getting to the library on my off days is tough. I've been looking for a place with a chill ambiance, wifi, good tea, and coffee. Well, look no more for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Great rustic look, comfy seating with back support, loads of outlets for laptops, and the second-floor space are super cute and cozy too. Oh and there's a small little outside area that's pretty cool as well. Shaquille (hope I spelled it right) was AMAZING! So down-to-earth, friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She made me the Tumeric latte for me and I all but licked the cup clean. I had the hummus & cucumber on sourdough toast and it was divine. Also, a great option for vegans. I totally recommend this place if you have similar needs or just want to hang out with some friends. I will surely be going back.”
“I ordered takeout from Kulchay recently and had a positive experience. The woman working there was incredibly friendly and helpful while I waited. I tried their signature naanizza which is a fusion of naan and pizza. Both the chicken tikka and super supreme naanizzas were delicious. Even though I got stuck in traffic and had to reheat them at home, they still tasted great although I imagine they would be even better fresh out of the oven. I also tried the halwa naan for dessert which was decent but not something I would order again. All the food here is halal and I definitely plan to come back to try more items from their menu.”
“We discovered Mathew's just yesterday and enjoyed a great lunch with their extremely pleasant staff. We'll be back.”
“They are rescuing Newark Ave. Absolutely the finast dinner. Those in the CourtHouse neighborhood should make Yub's 78 a regular stop.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Each meal I’ve had to date at Next Door Provisions has been consistently wonderful, and the casual and chic decor there (bonus points if you’re a plant or comic nerd!) married with friendly and efficient service always bring me, my family, and friends back again and again. We’ve celebrated many birthdays, reunions, and last-minute meetups at NDP, and I have never been disappointed by the food or the service. This is likely one of Jersey City’s best-kept secrets, and can rival any Michelin-starred or trendy restaurant across the Hudson. In a way, I’m glad NDP is still pretty low-key neighborhood food purveyor, but would be more than happy to see them really blow up and get the recognition and following that the extraordinary Chef Ruby deserves. Five stars, ten snaps, and five forks from me and my crew!”
“We drove right past it but THANK GOD we were able to turn around and get to it the food was heavenly juicy hot and suuuuper tasty the cook we spoke with was amazingly patient as he could see we wanted the entire menu but didn’t know how to order it lol the man was a saint and got us exactly what we wanted we were in such disbelief that such amazing tacos came from such a small spot but it’s clearly a top shelf establishment and will continuously recommend this place”
“I thought this was a decent, casual Vietnamese restaurant. The pho was good, warm and satisfying just like you would hope for. Not the best, I've ever had, but it will fulfill a craving if you have one. The only downside is not the food itsself but a lack of wifi for patrons. Also be prepared to pay in cash lest you will be charged a small fee for using your card. But otherwise, it was an enjoyable meal”
“I live in South Jersey went to Jersey City with my wife and daughter. Saw posting about Carmine’s had to give it a try. The food was outstanding 3 sandwiches and the eggplant rollotnie. The flavor , sauce chicken cutlets , Prosciutto was the best. It’s a 2 hour drive but worth it!!!”
“world class JC institution and a bread-lover mecca. bread product is next level. sandwiches, cinnamon bread, standalone bread. all good. we try to come every few weeks. friendly owner.
i always reheat the bread when I come home. i don't know how he does it, but the bread still stays moist in the inside and crust gets light crispy on the outside (my guess they retain more moisture bc he uses a brick oven as opposed to an electric oven).
cash only.”
“i come here often, either to dine in or take out, i'd say at least once a week as a treat. this is my favorite sushi place in jersey city, everything's always super fresh (the salmon and tuna are both amazing) and the service is great. prices are very reasonable, their teas are to die for and are so refreshing. i have no complaints!
overall worth it, they also do all you can eat sushi if you dine in but i have yet to try that.”

Fine Dining
“I've never tasted anything more disgusting in my life. My salad had so much dirt on it, I had to send it back. They offered to wash it and bring it back. 🤣 No! How about follow basic kitchen prep guidelines with like water and such. Place should be shut down for healthcode violations.”
“LOVE this spot!! The staff are the most accommodating team of people you could ask for. The food is DELISH and the vibe is exclusive and upscale. The music whether it’s live or a DJ is always on point. Hookah and Valet parking available. A STAPLE in JC!! get in while you can you WILL NOT regret it!”

“Absolutely loved this cozy little café! ☕🍰 The staff is incredibly sweet and welcoming – they make you feel right at home 💛 The food is fresh and made to order, and you can really taste the love in every bite 🥪🥗 As for the coffee and tea... wow! 🌿☕ Each cup feels like it was crafted just for you – rich, flavorful, and full of personality. A perfect spot for good vibes and great sips! 🌟🍵✨”
“New to the area and wanted a beer and burger so I Yelped this place. Drove past and wasn't sure I wanted to go in as the area around was very seedy, and the tavern had no sign out front and was really run down looking. However, I decided to go in with my boyfriend. The food was awesome and the service was great!! A must try, but bring Cash, it's a cash only place. Chili and Pastrami were great too!”
“El Ranchero is my favorite taqueria in the bayshore. The tacos are the best in the area and the mole is delicious. The food is fresh and the service is fantastic. I recommend this to anyone! A wonderful place to practice my spanish! El Ranchero es mi taquería favorita. Los tacos son los mejores de la zona y el mole es delicioso. La comida es fresca y el servicio es fantástico. ¡Yo recomiendo esto a cualquiera!”
“Cangiano's is a delightful gem of a find for all things Italian in Jersey City. We found this Deli to be an excellent source for Italian groceries and cooked meals, including sandwiches and pastas. There is an enormous selection of options,and the staff is super nice and friendly. We had the Penne Pasta in Vodka Sauce as well as a Grilled Chicken sandwich and both were excellent. We are excited to come back for more!”
“Great little neighborhood spot… we watched their regulars be welcomed in with a genuine greeting and smile, and as first-timers, we were impressed with the owner’s friendliness and time spent getting to know us. Everything we ordered was fabulous… Savory comfort food and affordable. Will definitely be back to this charming restaurant next time we visit NJ. Outstanding! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”
“The New England Clam Chowder with crab added to it was TO DIE FOR….. Got a container at The Herald Square Market to eat when i got home and I was in Heaven with every bite! Fresh and creamy, awesome taste and the crab meat added just intensified the experience! I’m visiting New York from TN and it was one of my best meals so far! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“The eggs are incredibly soft. I recommend the sausage jalapeño sandwich as it gives you more flavor vs. the bacon sandwich.
Americano is delicious.
Service is great.
It gets busy quick and even after morning rush hour there’s a line but that’s about the only negative thing of this place.”
“I'm posting this after my second visit to 87 Sussex and I have to say I will continue to come back.
Quality, service and environment are all excellent.”
“They have amazingly tasty food 😉 food 🥘 and specially love their buffet”
“My new favorite coffee shop! Excellent service and product! Highly recommend to all coffee lovers.”
“The curries are my fav! Dumplings are yum, and if you are a meat eater try Korean bbq short rib, it’s beyond! 😋”
“Amazing Margaritas! Great staff and food. A MUST in Jersey07302!”

“Solid sports bar with good wings. We ordered three traditional wing flavors: buffalo, O'Hara's special sweet and spicy, and parmesan garlic. The O'Hara special flavor was by far the favorite of the group. I would not order the artichoke dip again as it was quite watery and tasted about the same as a frozen option from the grocery store. Although they have a great beer menu I was disappointed that my two preferred beers were unavailable to order (Blue Moon and cold snap). All things considered, I'd come back for the wings and the sports bar atmosphere.”
“The food drinks and views are excellent… can’t wait to go back and bring friends!!”
“Food is excellent, staff is very attentive and friendly - atmosphere is very romantic. I highly recommend.”
“The omakase is good for the price. The service was friendly and attentive. The only issue is the decor and music felt like I was at a party instead of a nice omakase restaurant. This took away from the nice experience we had during our visit.”
“We ordered so many incredible signature dishes. The lamb moussaka was 5 stars! To really test them we ordered one of the best lahmanchoun’s we’ve tasted in NY! Cozy atmosphere, attentive waitstaff, Momo JC definitely exceeded our expectations!”
“I had the most phenomenal dining experience at Kings Pride, a Nigerian restaurant in Jersey City. The exceptional customer service by the owner, Veronica, truly made it stand out. Veronica went above and beyond to bring the essence of Nigerian cuisine to our table, even taking us behind the scenes to demonstrate the traditional preparation of the dishes. Her passion for sharing the culture and flavors of Nigeria was truly inspiring. The Jollof rice with stewed goat was an absolute standout, bursting with rich, aromatic flavors that left a lasting impression. The Ogbono soup was a true staple of Nigerian cuisine and paired perfectly with a side of fufu. The classic homemade Zobo drink was a refreshing and delightful complement to the meal. Veronica's warm hospitality and her dedication to showcasing the authenticity and rich cultural heritage of Nigerian cuisine made our experience truly memorable. Kings Pride is more than just a restaurant; it's a place that brings people together through the love for great food and the celebration of Nigerian traditions. I highly recommend Kings Pride as a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic and enriching culinary experience. Veronica's commitment to preserving and sharing the intricacies of Nigerian cuisine deserves the utmost support to keep this remarkable restaurant thriving.”
“this place is a must go to. the food is amazing as well as the service and drinks. Definitely on my top 10”
“Everything was fantastic. Very tasty and authentic. The tiny desserts were an excellent addition to the dinner. The person who came quickly set up the chafing dishes and plastic dinnerware. Couldn't ask for more.”
“WISP Rol delicious & so well put together! The guys on the truck are so friendly and accommodating & treat everyone with kindness even with long wait times. Order ahead & pick up when it says it’s ready and you will not be disappointed! 10/10 recommend”
“Just ate there for dinner. Was packed but they were so accommodating for us four, and I was dying for my favorites. I have been going there since 1984 and sorry to say, 90% of the time I get the same thing! And still always delish. The service is great, servers are great, I have bought many people there and no one has ever complained, always loved the food! And I will continue to be a customer for as long as they will be there!”
“First time visited Jersey City My goodness the food was so delicious, the server was amazing and friendly feels so much like home. Highly recommended for you guys to try.”
“I just found out about Cloud Wings and wanted to check them out. I got chicken & waffles, mild buffalo boneless wings, Cajun fries, and a biscuit.
The wings and chicken tenders are by far the best wings and tenders I’ve ever had and I’m definitely not a novice when it comes to eating good chicken.
The Cajun fries were perfectly seasoned and the waffles and biscuits were awesome too.
10/10 would recommend to anybody and will be going back soon to try more of their menu”
“Great food, great atmosphere and great service.. I’m coming back and bringing friends and family! I definitely recommend it!”
“Ed & Mary’s is a great hang out spot with semi neighborhood dive bar vibes and AMAZING food. I can’t get enough of those sandwiches 🤤The outdoor seating is also a really nice touch and I always appreciate a spot with a dart board!”
“On vacation as a joke, we searched for "the worst bar near me" which led us to this amazing little place. We had the absolute best food! The waitstaff was attentive, fun, and helpful. Prices & portions were fair. The whole vibe of the area was low-key & pleasant with the dog-friendly patio, next door local shops, and other patrons. If these Wisconsintes find ourselves in Jersey City again, we will absolutely make a dedicated return to the Wurstbar!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blue Anchor is an absolute gem!
From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. David, the manager, sets a brilliant example of leadership—he was hands-on the entire evening: taking orders, serving food, bringing drinks, and supporting his team every step of the way. He even made the best cheesecake I’ve ever had—rich, creamy, and unforgettable!
The staff was truly exceptional: – Ruben was warm and professional – Maria was gracious and extremely attentive
Their customer service was AMAZING—some of the best I’ve experienced in my life.
🍽️ Highlights from our meal: – Appetizers: heavenly crab cakes with sauce, and incredibly flavorful grilled octopus – Entrées: my salmon with mashed potatoes was cooked perfectly—crispy skin, moist center – My sister’s seafood platter was delicious and generous – My niece’s shrimp scampi with spaghetti was so good I couldn’t stop sneaking bites!
🎉 Ambiance was upbeat, cozy, and unrushed—we felt completely relaxed and cared for.
This was my first visit to Blue Anchor, and I can’t wait to bring the whole family next time. It’s a rare combination of spectacular food and world-class service. Highly recommended—don’t miss out!”
“Have enjoyed two fantastic meals at Ita. A perfect atmosphere for any intimate or casual gathering. The food is so fresh and the people are warm and welcoming. I will be back!!”
“Been coming by this place since I’ve been of age. It’s a personal family favorite: I recommend picking up a couple of buckets (large drinks ) here before heading out anywhere. Also a cute place to just lay low and have a delicious meal and cocktail.”
“Seeing Buddy’s from a tik tok made me skeptical but best Brunch I’ve had in a long time!
Chicken and Waffles best I’ve had to date! The seasonal pancakes were Cinnabon inspired and didn’t need a drop of syrup.
Definitely my go to Brunch spot going forward”
“This is one of the best places to have south Indian food and the restaurant is very authentic. The ambiance is very decent but the food is so good. Especially their mann soru was out of the world”
“My first trip to Jersey lead me to Tinos and I am so lucky to have found them! Their cute outdoor dining area was shaded. Menu has tons of options - I had the Margherita pizza, Pinot and a cannoli! All are delicious and I can't wait to return. The pizza is the best I've ever had - crispy but still foldable thin crust, flavorful sauce, and top quality mozzarella and EVOO. My waiter was kind and attentive, who informed me that Tino still comes in and does things like weeding the plants. He also said that they are terrific employers. Not many places today hit all the check marks, but Tino's hits it out of the ballpark.”
“Wonderful place with tasty food and best service. Will try again.”
“I highly recommend their famous pork spicy appetizer. It was our 4th times in this place. I would say their meat is high quality because you can tell from the flavor itself. This is our couples favorite Sichuan place. Tonight, we tried SeaBass Mala it was delicious but too spicy but we’ve finish it 😄😛😋”
“It's the first time I was there, because it was the restaurant with the best rating, in the area, I really recommend it, in 23 years in this country, I ate the best green noodles with steak, 😋 💯
And a parihuela, seafood soup, its delicious chicha morada, its portions are well served, I loved it”
“Performing at Maritime Parc was an absolute highlight for us! The venue offers a sleek, modern aesthetic with stunning panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and harbor—an unforgettable backdrop for any celebration. The layout is perfect for live music, with plenty of space for dancing and an energetic crowd. The team at Maritime Parc was fantastic to work with, making sure everything ran smoothly so we could keep the party going strong all night long.”
“Fox & Crow is the premiere Listening Venue in Jersey City. The music room is small, like a local jazz club from back in the day (think Coltrane or Monk at the 5 Spot), but that gives it a focused vibe and electric intimacy that you can't get anywhere else in JC at this time.”
“Food is pretty good large portions, cozy with a lot of activity going on, reminded me of cheers how friendly it felt. Monday jazz was so good came back for karaoke Tuesday. Red Sangria was my favorite. I will keep coming back. I had a lot of fun. I’m checking their events now. Owner Tommy told me “ I’m family now””

“Food was excellent but took a very long time to come out. We inly saw our waitress three times during the 1.5 hour visit; to take our order, to check how the food was tasting (after a 40 minute wait to get the food) and to drop the bill. Definitely expect to wait and plan accordingly.”
““Delicious food and great service, compliments to the chef!” 👨🍳 🙌🏽👊🔥”
“A great choice for getting some high quality Indian food in the area, especially if you'd prefer to not deal with the hustle and bustle of Little India in Journal Square.
I highly recommend ordering anything from the tandoor - the tandoori chicken was perfect! And the portions are massive. I did think many of the appetizers and main dishes were quite overpriced, however.
That said, I'd definitely come back and try the rest of the menu!”
“Great ambiance, cozy, great food, awesome cocktails, this place is a hidden gem in Jersey City. Loved the 100 yr version of the Old Fashion, loved the octopus appetizer and above all the service. Will definitely be back soon.”
“Authentic Italian deli with wonderful and kind owners who have operated for 40 years in this location. When you walk in, you will literally feel like you are in Italy. 🇮🇹
So cool. Excellent quality in cheese and meats and all the essential Italian ingredients.”
“I love this company because it's convenience of being close in NJ, the company sells to individuals customers most only sell to business. I bought Saba mackerel and tobikko it was better and fresh or as good as in any high end Sushi restaurant. I can't wait to order again and the minimum to order is $40 and close enough to pickup in Jersey City. ty Jorge Alonso.”
“Great little place to stop in and visit. Had the chorizo tacos which were 👄👌.
The jalapeño margarita had quite the kick. Sam, the gentleman who helped me, showed he the bottle with the jalapeño slices in the tequila bottle so you're getting a lot of heat from the peppers too. Good stuff!”

“Everything on the menu is delish! Great presentation, amazing desserts, impeccable service.”
Latest Reviews
“I always thought of this place primarily in terms of takeout but I had my daughter's first birthday there a couple of weeks ago and would be remiss not to share what a wonderful experience it was on all fronts. First of all, as other reviewers have noted the food is incredible. Every single person in our party raved about their meals--mostly pizza orders, but I had a hot sub and I could not devour it fast enough, it was so delicious. Quality ingredients and really authentic preparation. Beyond the great food though I want to highlight what a lovely experience we had at the establishment. The restaurant was so accommodating to our needs--they let us bring in our own decorations and cake, even let me come in early to set up, and it really made the day feel special and personal. Unlike most other places, they also let us relax and enjoy ourselves. We lingered for a while and at no point did they make us feel like we needed to wrap it up and leave. As the mother of the birthday girl it really meant a lot to me, and I don't think I would have gotten that experience anywhere else. Finally, I'd like to compliment the staff who took such good care of us--they were professional and friendly and continuously offered to help with whatever we needed. We were a party of 21 including four little kids so I'm sure at points we were a lot to take! But all we received from the staff were pleasantries and smiles. I'd recommend to anyone not just making this your go-to pizza place for takeout, but thinking of them for your next gathering as well. Or a meal out, it's not a frilly sceney place but it's got a cozy, homey feel that's perfect for intimate conversation and catching up. Thank you Rustique for making my daughter's birthday so special.”
“We reserved the private room on the lower level for a family reunion for 27 people. The restaurant was centrally located for our families in Westchester, Long Island, and Philadelphia. The kitchen and staff were amazingly friendly and the food outstanding. The price-fixed Saturday brunch menu was tailored to our Gluten-free, Vegan and vegetarian’s needs. The service staff were warm and friendly and delivered our food quickly and accurately. The bar (shout-out to Jr.) served excellent cocktails at a reasonable price. Alexa S., the manager, was very helpful answering all our questions organizing the day and was very attentive during our gathering. We all enjoyed the day and highly recommend Amelia's Bistro and will definitely return for other family events.”
“Great tasting Bagels. Its “Santa Fe" bagel is a meal on its own to get! Very friendly staff. Bri & person making the bread show experienced hospitality workers, taking a lot of pride and professionalism at this shop. Seating & atmosphere is convenient & comfortable, near the Newport mall.”

“This cute little "hole in the wall" is truly a hidden gem! While in reality, it's no hole in the wall at all. You actually feel like you're in a small shop in India when dining-in with the colorful decorations, background music and overall setup of the restaurant. Not to mention the food, which was absolutely amazing! Very tasteful chaat and small dishes, each with it's own little twist. I got:
-masala chai
-mango lassi
-Chinese Frankie (get it on a paratha)
-Chili Cheese Corn Grilled Sandwich
-to top it off, get their Chocolate Pan - it was bomb!
EVERYTHING was 10/10. I loved the food so much, I get went again the next day.
Ask for Ajay or Shubham - very friendly folks who'll take great care of you while there!”

“I stopped coming to this restaurant years ago because of an odd smell, but when a friend wanted to go, I decided to give it another shot—and I’m so glad I did! The place has completely transformed. The service was excellent, and our server, Yousry, was incredibly attentive. The drinks were spot on, and the food was fresh and delicious. I was truly impressed and will definitely be back.
As someone who grew up in Jersey City, I’ve seen this place change a lot, and it’s for the better. A special shoutout to the manager, Berta, who was so friendly and made sure I got my drinks quickly when there was a bit of a wait at the bar. Great experience all around!”
“This is our and our friends’ favorite brunch spot — the food, the service, the interior, every detail perfectly reflects the spirit of this place. The owner puts his heart into it, goes above and beyond to deliver top quality, and has built a deep connection with the neighborhood over the years. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a place with soul and real dedication.”
“The service and the food were absolutely amazing. I ordered the ricotta toast and the melon salad. Both were exquisite full of flavor. Then we ordered two pasta dishes that were magnificent. We were fortunate enough to be seated in front of the chefs. The head Chef was so kind and making jokes all night which made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. Thank you! We will certainly be back.”
