 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 >> |

 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 >> |

 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 >> |

 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 >> |

 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 >> |

 We?ve become so accustomed to gritty, authentic, and mega-delicious southern Mexican cafes that we?ve forgotten about the gussied-up Mexican restaurants one finds in malls and strip shopping centers across the rest of the country. Founded by Pueblans, the Charrito?s mini-chain dominates Hoboken... More >> |

 Founded in 1913, this quintessential southern Italian deli clearly doesn't fit in with the franchised mix of crap on Washington Street. Fiore's makes its own mozzarella every day, and that mozzarella is fantastic??light and fluffy without a trace of the rubberiness that mars most mozzarellas. It... More >> |

An elaborately carved hunting clock surmounted by a stag head and dangling little dead animals is the main décor of this venerable Bavarian restaurant, founded in 1935.

Just off Newark Avenue in an industrial slough across from the fire station, and dwarfed by the turnpike extension passing overhead, Lisa's is an oasis of Guyanese cuisine, though you can also get the usual deli and breakfast sandwiches there. Opt instead for the goat roti—rich bony morsels... More >> |
