Alexandria Restaurant and Fish Market Write a Review
537 West Side Ave. Egyptian, Seafood $ Jersey City  
This is the sixth seafood restaurant coming out of Alexandria, Egypt to appear in the metropolitan area, slinging whole fish blackened over charcoal (called "barbecue" here –– you must remove the skin before eating), or by deep-frying, the latter with a kooky spice coating that includes salt,... More>>
Ali Baba Write a Review
912 Washington Ave. African, Indian $$ New Jersey  
Offering an expansive combination of Syrian, Palestinian, and North African fare, Ali Baba provides a handful of dishes unavailable in the usual restaurant of this genre. Any of the homestyle lamb stews ––which come in with a big plate of yellow rice––are totally dope,... More>>
Boi na Brasa Write a Review
70 Adams St. Brazilian, Portuguese $$ New Jersey  
It's like a vacation to Brazil. Boi na Brasa ("cow on the coals") is an authentic churrascaria located in Newark's Portuguese-speaking Ironbound, and the price alone makes it worth the trek. Skip the salad bar and go right for the meat, which comes with great black beans, rice, fried yuca and... More>>
Brasilia Grill Write a Review
97-99 Monroe St. Brazilian $$$ New Jersey  
The appearance of this excellent churrascaria corresponds to an uptick in Brazilian immigration to Newark's famed Ironbound neighborhood, which still retains much of its Portuguese small-town feel. The mile-long buffet has good stuff and mediocre stuff, and it's your duty to distinguish between... More>>
Dosa Garden Write a Review
323 Victory Blvd. Indian $ Staten Island  
Directly across the street from two Sri Lankan cafes, and on the same block as the towering Albanian mosque, Dosa Garden is the first south Indian restaurant in Staten Island. Not only does it dispense vegetarian dosas, iddlies, and utthapams, it supplements these with flesh-bearing dishes from... More>>
Dosa Hut Write a Review
777 Newark Ave. Indian, Pakistani $ Jersey City  
Not to be confused with establishments featuring various spellings of the same name, Jersey's Dosa Hut is a yellow-hued greasy spoon with cheap, excellent, and strictly vegetarian South Indian fare. The list of 30 different dosas makes for interesting reading, but the butter masala dosa is a... More>>
Grand Apollo Fast Food & Grocery Write a Review
472 West Side Ave. Grocery, Philippine $ Jersey City  
Go on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon when this sunny storefront is hopping with customers, and the steam table is groaning with the full range of Philippine standards. First, grab one of the smoky beef satays, each morsel shaped like the blade of a shovel and annealed with a sweet marinade, then... More>>
Ibby's Falafel Write a Review
303 Grove St. Middle Eastern $ Jersey City  
We're afraid this humble Middle Eastern café puts our own Mamoun's to shame, serving exceptionally fresh-tasting mezze, whipping up the lightest baba ghanoush on the planet, and twirling an amazing shawarma, which shatters into salty, smoky fragments as it's heaped over rice. A further... More>>
Island Roti Shop Write a Review
65 Victory Blvd. Trinidadian $$ Staten Island  
The island is Trinidad, and the goat roti is probably the best in Staten Island, a Christmas package of curried meat, potatoes, and chickpeas wrapped in a festive dal poori –– a Bengali flatbread with crushed yellow split peas between its flakey layers. Pour on the scotch bonnet hot... More>>
It's Greek to Me Write a Review
194 Newark Ave. Greek $$$ New Jersey  
IGTM showcases the meat-bearing cuisine of the Greek mainland—specifically the eastern region of Thessaly, on the Aegean Sea, and partly reflects Turkish culinary influences. There's a sage-inflected gyro, zucchini balls called kolokithokeftedes, large cheap salads, and a sumptuous pork... More>>
Krishna Cuisine Write a Review
795 Newark Ave. Indian $$ Jersey City  
This strictly vegetarian—and mainly vegan—restaurant in Jersey City’s Little India is one of the first to offer a pan-Indian vegetarian menu. South Indian standards like dosas, iddlies, and uthappams are rendered with panache (in particular, check out the massive “family dosa” if you’re eating... More>>
LaRocca's Write a Review
489 Midland Ave. Italian $ Staten Island  
Founded in 1987, LaRocca's is a youngster in pizza years, and its reputation is overshadowed by nearby Nunzio's, which was the victim of a recent, rather unfortunate facelift. LaRocca's pies are every bit as good, including the whole-wheat Neapolitan, the Staten Island Sicilian, and, especially,... More>>
McWhorter Barbecue Write a Review
104 McWhorter St. Barbecue, Portuguese $ New Jersey  
Ensconced in a corner bar in one of Ironbound’s dark side streets, McWhorter is a Portuguese churrasqueria, not to be confused with a Brazilian churrascaria. That means that, instead of guys running around in little gaucho pants flinging meat at you, you’ve got a chill back room where... More>>
Morgan Seafood Restaurant Write a Review
2801 Kennedy Blvd. Egyptian, Seafood $ Jersey City  
Just a few blocks south of Journal Square, Morgan is an Egyptian seafood restaurant in the style of the ancient port of Alexandria, home to a flock of literary figures that includes Constantin Cavafy, Lawrence Durrell, E.M. Forster, and Naguib Mahfouz. And while there might not be much literary... More>>
Sri Ganesh's Dosa House Write a Review
809 Newark Ave. Indian, Pakistani $ Jersey City  
While most southern Indian spots offer only a handful of dosas, at Sri Ganesh's—named after the handsome Hindu elephant god—the roster runs to 66. That means you can freak out and order pessaratu, its wrapper turned verdant green with herbs, or spring dosa, filled with sautéed... More>>
Suez Canal Write a Review
117 Tonnele Ave. Diner, Egyptian $ Jersey City  
This Egyptian old-timer specializes, somewhat obsessively, in fish. Whole fish (sea bass, red mullet, and porgy) are dusted with whole wheat flour, grill-blackened, then doused with salt water—you must peel off the skin to get at the succulent flesh. Then there are red-sauced stews of squid... More>>
