Comfort Food Restaurants near Bronx, NY

“I ordered the curry goat meal and the cow foot meal on UberEats. Unfortunately, they were out of cow foot but the food exceeded my expectations. I've ordered curry goat from Golden Krust and other restaurants and have been consistently disappointed. THIS is the one I've been looking for 👌🏾 The meat was tender, delicious and had the perfect amount of spice to it (not too much but not too little either) The rice and peas & veggies were perfection as well. Will definitely order from here again.“

The portions are generous, ensuring you get great value for your money.The service is friendly and efficient, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and is more than willing to make recommendations based on your preferences.Whether you're a local or just passing through the Bronx, El Antojito is a must-try.

“Very nice place, our waitress was super friendly with cute Irish accent. The menu does not have many Irish items but we could find two (Shepherd's pie and Irish breakfast) that tasted very good.

“I have enjoyed eating at Aurora many times since 2010 with my wife, friends and family.The food and service is always consistently good. But when I went this week, I found myself disappointed that they did not serve bread. The waiter told be they do not do it anymore with no explanation. It may be a small thing, but it was significant for me.“

“Absolutely delicious dumplings. Great variety. Excellent prices. (They even have frozen dumplings to take home and cook.) Super casual- a few shared tables and people rotate through quickly.“

“Randomly on a Saturday ended up at Hollybrook Lane. And so glad I did the food was exceptional the fried okra was top tier! And the drinks chef kiss. If you like classic throwback tunes paired with comfort food and good drinks. This is the place! Can’t wait to return.“

“Huge shout out to Rebecca! Incredible service and so friendly! Hope to see her again next time I visit!

Impeccable vibe; great decor, clean, classic 80s music playlist, and kind and attentive staff!

Selection of cocktails put a fun twist on classics without being difficult to understand. Food options have fresh sandwiches with an array of fillings and delicious entrees.

Had the hibiscus marg w/ mezcal. Fragrant and light smokiness, really refreshing. The Steak Frites was cooked really well despite some fatty pieces, crispy fries and great portion size. Salsa verde was slightly liquidy but still tasty.

Definitely recommend lunch here, bar seating is supreme.“

“Small place delivers a big tasting experience. Delicious drunken noodles in a perfect sauce with plenty of vegetables. I had shrimp and also ordered fried gyoza and a their house-recipe Thai tea that had an appropriate amount of sweetness and flavor balance. Very nice staff and quickly cooked to my table.“

“Foods and drinks are delish😋 Great ambiance and service!“

“Got the brand sampler. A meal for $19.60.
Here’s what I thought of each item
Har gow / shrimp siu mai - 3/5, hard to get wrong, just didn’t love it, even with the soy sauce.
Chicken siu mai - 5/5, was my favorite
Sticky rice wrap - 1/5, mushroom and sticky rice was not my favorite
BBQ pork bun - 1/5, wasn’t my thing
Crispy shrimp roll - 4/5, pretty good“

“Absolutely Incredible food and family Owned service“

“Phenomenal. I can’t get over how sweet the lady who attended us was. This is the first restaurant I’ve been to where i felt as if the food was truly made with love. The food itself was absolutely delicious, and the price was very reasonable. My friend and I ordered the fried chicken, tteokbokki, and bulgogi kimbap. The portions were perfect, we finished ALL of it (and licked our fingers clean). Their plates are also so cute if I may add. I will definitely bring all of my friends here when they visit Teaneck.“

“Love this neighborhood. Stumbled upon this gem. Atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, but what really stood out was the warm and friendly hospitality. Bartender Colm and another employee (female) went above and beyond—genuinely personable, attentive without being overbearing, and clearly passionate about making guests feel comfortable. He took the time to recommend drinks that perfectly matched my tastes and made the whole experience feel personal and special. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Hands down one of the best spots in Harlem. The Handpulled Noodle never misses — the noodles are fresh, chewy, and made right in front of you. Every bowl feels like a warm hug with serious flavor and spice that hits just right.

The lamb cumin noodles? Unreal. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff keeps things moving with great energy. Whether you dine in or take it to go, it’s always hot, flavorful, and made with care.

This place is a true Harlem gem — comfort food, culture, and craft all in one bowl. 10/10 recommend.“

“great food and ambience and quick friendly service“

“The food and the service was amazing! The short rib was soft as butter, the pork rib was juicy and flavorful and the fish was delicious! I highly recommend this place. 🙌🏾🔥“

“This place feels like coming home to your favorite cozy spot that always hits just right. I've been here for date nights and catching up w friends- a perfect place for both. It's such an ideal NYC neighborhood hangout- the food is ALWAYS outstanding, and the ambience (think cool jazz tunes, no tvs) is exactly what I need after a long overstimulated day.“

“Awesome location, stunning cozy decor and fabulous food! ✨✨✨✨✨“

“This place is an absolute hidden gem. Walked to it while taking my mom to an appointment. The breakfast sandwich was tasty and well cooked, the drink selection was huge for the space. Everything from Ito En teas, to Chi Sparkling water and Clearly Canadian.

The absolute star of the show was a super sweet lady that cook e the absolute best Japchae with shrimp I've had and I've been to quite a few places. Nothing like a home cooked meal at a restaurant. This was made fresh, not microwaved and made with love.

If you're in the Midtown Tunnel area by 39th and 2nd, even if you aren't close, you have to try this place. It is well worth the trip!“

“I started coming here every Friday for about two months and it's always a vibe. I really enjoy myself each time and sing and dance to the songs. The people and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I don't regret coming here at all.“

“The spicy chicken biscuit omg toooooo die for so my husband and I saw many people entering this spot plus it was our first time. We heard mac and cheese, greens, and fried chicken. So we got a bucket of mixed chicken, two sides of Mac and cheese, and some collard greens (they make them with black eyed peas and tomatoes; totally different from any kind of greens I ever had and I definitely was left craving more. Nice little spot and such friendly people. Heading back very soon“

“I celebrated my cousin's birthday last October at Lagos restaurant and Lounge was great“

“Excellent food and service.. love this place when we are in New York.. Defo one of the best spots for great food and drinks❤️“

“Wolfhound was hosting CraicFest25 on April 28. It was a brilliant time. The performances was first rate. It is friendly atmosphere with good management.“

“What a delightful little breakfast/brunch place!!! We went here straight from the airport on our way into town, luggage and all, and it was perfect! We sat in the little outside area with the fans because the A/C was broken inside. My mom ordered the Grey Dog’s Breakfast with her eggs scrambled, French toast, and bacon, and it’s served with home fries. I ordered the egg and cheese croissant minus the parsley (not my fave) and added bacon. I’m picky about my home fries, so the server offered me french fries instead. We had exactly zero complaints about our meal. The portions are big, the eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly, and the French toast had this sweet butter with it that I can’t even compare to anything because it was so unique and delicious. The home fries ended up being DELICIOUS. The French fries were also good. I enjoyed the seasoning on them as well. I’m not a big fan of the thing shoe string fries, but these were good! The three employees we encountered were all very friendly and I would be more than happy to eat here again any time.“
