Best Arab food in all of the tri state area. It doesn't get any better than Al Kofeia Restaurant. I highly recommend ordering the Al Kofeia Mixed Grill with the mint lemonade. Perfect for Friends and Family get together. So much food I always take food home. Abd is always attentive, making sure we get the best experience every time we come. Overall incredible food and experience. Must try Restaurant, you'll sure to return.
My first time trying Palestinian food and I was so delighted by how delicious everything was. The owner was so kind and welcoming, and the place had such a pleasant atmosphere. I will definitely be back and highly recommend it!
The food was excellent! The Branzino fish was absolutely delicious, and I really enjoyed the kebabs as well. Their signature mint lemonade was incredibly refreshing and the perfect complement to the meal. Highly recommended!
Wow, just wow is all I can say. From the moment you walk in the atmosphere screams authentic. Beautiful paintings and photos line the walls paired with wonderful decorations. Now the food, thats a step even further beyond. For me the chicken kebab platter was on my mind, and to tell you the truth by the end the platter had won. Such an incredibly generous portion packed with salad, hummus, babaganoush and rice. The chicken itself is tender to an unreasonable degree, it just melts in your mouth and brings so much flavor your way. The strawberry lemonade is also very rich in flavor and also home made, so enjoy a nice chunk of strawberry here and there. For just 16 dollars the platter packs on way more than you'd expect, and for 4 dollars the strawberry lemonade brings so much flavor in a perfectly sized cup. I would recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat, you will not be disappointed.
Delicious Authentic Food! Genuine atmosphere, taste, aroma and atmosphere. The food is made fresh to order, so expect to wait, but Worth It! Restaurant is small, so could get filled up, so make a reservation. But if you have to wait for seating, you'll be rewarded with the Deliciousness! 😋 Generous portions. Highly recommend the Ouzi, cooked in a covered dish. The meat melts in your mouth! Their Signature Mint Lemonade is fresh, home made, unique and So refreshing!
Delicious food with great service. People travel from all over. Huge portions. You can tell that there’s a lot of skill and care used. The mixed appetizer platter is massive and everything tastes good. The lamb shank is tender. The rice was different for each dish and tasty. The special Ramadan dessert was very good, especially the fruit and nut one. The ice cream was very tasty. They provided some yummy coffee. I want to try it on top of the ice cream next time! The Knafeh was yummy too! I only wish their location was more convenient. They said that it’s because of the high rent elsewhere.
Absolutely delicious! My first time trying Palestinian food and it was absolutely amazing. The food came out so fast and the service was great. I will definitely be coming back!
Feels like home cooked experience. Great food with great flavors, everything seems made with care and good portion sizes at reasonable prices. Great and unique ethnic food experience by a family run business. This is the real thing. PS. Lamb Ouzi is a perfectly made lamb shank fish with flavourful rice and veggies.
Visited on 06/05/2026. Customer service was excellent. Staff was extremely welcoming, and the decorations in the store makes you feel at home. The food was hot and fresh upon pickup, and extremely delicious. Lamb and chicken were extremely tender and flavorful. Definitely recommend the Mansaf, Zattar and cheese manakish, fried haIloumi cheese, and of course Muskhan pizza. Incredible portions for each dish as well. Overall experience was incredible MashAllah!
Absolutely delicious Palestinian food! I’ve tried many spots, but this is hands down the best Palestinian restaurant I’ve been to in the New York/New Jersey area. 🇵🇸✨Everything tastes just like it’s straight from Palestine — from the fresh, warm pita bread to the perfectly seasoned grape leaves, creamy hummus, and smoky, flavorful babaganoush. I ordered the mixed grill, and it’s incredibly generous — easily shareable for 2–3 people, maybe even 4! 🔥🍖The restaurant itself is beautiful, the service is amazing, and the entire experience left me very impressed. Highly recommend! 👏 mint lemonade was delicious too!
