Food Courts near Newark, NJ

“Dont understand the 1.7 star review average. Got a great salad here for a reasonable price that was quick and much better than the pre-packaged ones in the refrigerated section.

The store attendants were very helpful too. Great job EWR“

“This small-footprint gem delivers exactly what so many of us miss back home: quality, chatpata quick bites like spicy-tangy pani puri (with live assembly and multiple flavor options—sweet, savory, and everything in between), the iconic Mumbai vada pav layered with coriander chutney, tamarind, and that punchy dry garlic chutney (ek dam mast!), misal pav, ragda samosa, dabeli, grilled sandwiches, paneer tikka rolls, and more—all pure veg and bursting with genuine flavors.

What really sets it apart is the warm, welcoming vibe—the pleasant service and friendly owner make you feel right at home, unlike some other places around that feel rushed or impersonal. It’s cozy and fun, with that true street-food energy packed into a compact space, perfect for a quick bite or takeout when you’re in Journal Square/India Street area.

If you’re missing the real deal till your next trip to India, skip the average options and head here. Places like Desi Adda keep the quality high, the tastes authentic, and the desi spirit alive—definitely worth appreciating and coming back to again and again. Highly recommend for anyone chasing that homesick cure!“

“They got good cook foods.Love the kaldereta, pinapaitan and dinuguan. Seasoning is just right.“

“My eyeballs were bulging out at how much food chain choices there are at this food court! Bravo! So much fun to watch friends and families eat together happily at this place. Very clean and even though there’s a lot of traffic but it’s the good kind where most people interacts with each other during their meal and no drama. Just food and fun!“

“Wish I knew of this place earlier when more of the stalls were open. Visited today and only two were in operation sadly. IMO marketing could have been improved as I moved to the area (Hoboken) in 2020 and only noticed/heard of this place a few months ago while walking by as a new Jersey City resident. The name of it also sounds like just a restaurant instead of a food hall so it could probably benefit from a rebrand. If you look at the successful ones in other cities, e.g Chelsea Market in the city, Quincy Market in Boston, Union Market in DC, Reading Terminal Market in Philly, Ponce City and Krog street Markets in Atlanta they all kept it simple with the name. Those also are thriving either because they are in a high density tourist area or because they have dedicated parking available. This place would have done much better with dedicated available parking so people would have seen it as a destination. That said I get that perhaps, this was meant as more of a food court geared to catering to office workers like the Hugh in the city but there aren't nearly enough of these workers in JC for that. Hope it survives though and perhaps it will rebound when more of the development happening brings either new neighborhood residents or visitors (Top Golf rumored to be coming).“

“Great options, love that they had a self serve beer section and had lots of soju and sake to choose from! They also had 3$ beers! It was nice that there’s food and liquor at your own time and where ever you want to go I would come here again the food options are so good!“

“Love the fact that these restaurants serve authentically made food; and it doesn’t taste greasy or overdone at all. Wing Trip has been a a favorite between me and my partner, haven’t touched any other wing spot since finding them. I’d show a picture of the food I got, but it’s already finished😂😂.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had a great time at Little India in the mall, thanks to Faisal. He was welcoming, patient while explaining the dishes, and gave really thoughtful recommendations. The service felt genuine and attentive, which made the meal so much better. Definitely ask for Faisal when you visit—he’ll take great care of you!“

“Located in Court A Level 1 of American Dream mall, this H Mart is the cleanest and prettiest among the ones around the area. It is not as big as some of the other individual store locations, aisles and checkout lanes are thinner. The store is open all 365 days of the year.

They still got most of inventory of Korean groceries, vegetables, fruits, snacks, candies, kitchenware, small toys and all other things we see find usually in H Marts. They have the meat and seafood stations as well. The food court is separate, right in front of the entrance of store.

Lots of associates walk around the store to keep it clean and tidy. I went in to buy couple of drinks from the store. There were multiple checkout lanes open. Didn’t have to wait too long, was quick and easy.“
