The New and Improved GURRA Cafe came nothing short of perfection. My wife and son were amazed! The spicy smashed burger stole the show for me however everything was delicious! Best food on Arthur ave.

I was really open-minded and eager to try a new cuisine, but objectively, the food I had was mediocre. It is only a fraction as delicious as the Turkish restaurants I've been to in NJ and NY. The service was gruff and not attentive - the waiter seemed surprised that we were there at all. Based on the reviews, it seems like we got them on an off night, but I wouldn't go back or recommend it. PS the meat is not halal.

Great little Albanian cafe in Arthur Avenue ! Mixed grill with beef sausage was so flavorful and served with red pepper sauce that hit the spot! Came with delicious fresh bread. The salads are great and the goulash was well seasoned and lovely. They serve wine and beer. Enjoyed the experience. They have coffee and espresso but no desserts.

Stopped by for a quick bite with my family and everything was delicious :). We had both burgers and the grilled meats 10/10

Very mixed feelings because the burger’s sauce was very overwhelming to the point of ruining the burger… but the fries were some of the best I ever had. Server was very nice and attentive.

Delicious Albanian food in this nice little corner of little Italy with decent prices, good collection of dry meats and dry meat inspired dishes, a decent amount of seating and a nice ambience and good music.We got the mixed grill, pasul and the Gurra burger and all three of them were pretty good. The burger with a nice sausage like patty was actually quite nice and a nice twist from the regular burger. The dried beef also made the pasul quite good.Vegetarian options: Not a lot sadly.

Absolutely disrespectful and unprofessional. It's called a cafe and yet kicked me and two others out because it's not a "cafe". Apparently only nice if you look and speak like them.

My first time here. Food was exceptionally good. Get their mixed grill for sure. Their soup was really good too. Will definitely come back.
Probably my 15th+ time coming here and decided, my review is long overdue. I LOVE Gurra Cafe! their burgers are very unique and menu items are all delicious! For a somewhat “smaller menu,” they actually have a variety of options for each section. I am albanian myself and can say this food is AUTHENTIC and full of flavor. The qebapa are actually the best in the area, in my opinion. My favorite things to order are the qebapa, the albanian burger (ajvar… yum!) & the Maz with suxhuk/speca, paired with their warm fresh bread. The interior is elegant and classy and the outdoor area is so nice! Love the cute lights, especially on summer evenings. The waiters are also very nice, professional and attentive. I will keep coming back here! reminds me of home♥️

So amazing! It was our first time trying Albanian food and we didn’t even know what to order. Our server recommended the trout and the mixed grill, which were just fantastic. Tasted very fresh and the seasonings were perfect. Even the salad and the bread were delicious. We will be back soon!

Absolutely delicious. We wandered in after a day at the zoo and we were really happy about finding this place. I’m going to be dreaming about the grilled trout. Scraped every little piece off the plate it was so good. The salads and mixed grill were also great. Finished with some espressos and cappuccinos. Definitely recommend.
