Really a 3.5, but I'll always round up. The branzino was good, not great. The salad wasn't very flavorful and was quite small. The rice was tasty. Other food: the seafood soup shouldn't be half full. Tasty broth but too much fake crab and the rest of the seafood was chewy/rubbery. Not worth close to $10 and definitely not recommended. The humus has too much tahini in it. Very surprised there was no bread.

Amazing food and even better hospitality. We went when it was 9pm and they were just about to close the kitchen but ended up allowing us to dine anyways which was so nice. All the food was perfectly seasoned and everything came out to perfection. Everyone there was so nice !!

I was looking for a place to eat, and then I read Dong K's review of this place about the baba ghanoush and hummus, I was sold by such a review, and OMG, my wife and me decided we're never getting Trader Joe's or any store brand hummus again. Staff was super nice, and I didn't even know it came with pita! Will be returning for more, only got those two items but 100% repeats!

I haven't dined in here in years, but I have been getting hummus and baba ganoush take out consistently on my way home past several months. THE BEST HUMMUS AND BABA GANOUSH. I get 2 small containers of each (quarter pound) and I SLAY THEM IN 2 DAYS!!!! SOOOO FREAKING GOOD!!!! I just eat it out of the container with a spoon like a freaking häagen-dazs!!! My only regret is I can't taste them uninterrupted/unmixed in my mouth all at the same time like a twisty cone. I am freaking addicted to this place!!!

Really delicious and authentic. Nice waitstaff and overall calm environment. A good place to simply enjoy good food. Very no frills. The calamari was one of the best I've ever had. Very light breading! The branzino was very fresh and well seasoned.

I ordered takeout over the phone and got the Grilled Brazino Meal. Food was ready in 35 min, but by the time I got there it was still being prepped. The Brazino came with a salad, pita, tahini sauce, and brown rice. It was a pretty big portion, a whole fish (with bones in) plus all these aides! Fish was tender, and the meat was juicy. The skin was coated with herbs and was crunchy. There was a kick to the fish, since on think peppers were added. Note that it looks like online takeout prices look to be different than what you can get when you call in. This was a nice little hidden gem in the neighborhood I hope to come back to try some of their other seafood dishes.

Time: it took about 30 minutes from the time I ordered to the time the food was served. Quality: the quality of the food was definitely fresh. medium to High. Quantity: will definitely leave you full. First date: definitely not, very casual not the type of place you want your date to experience for a first impression. Overall: good place to hang out with friends, and have some Egyptian seafood (rare to find). Special note: I would definitely try the teheny and fried fish (snapper). Would I recommend: yes

Great find!!! I saw pictures of the grilled fish online, and knew I had to try it. As recommended I called well in advance, and was told they needed 35 minutes to prepare my food (grilled branzino fish). The first time, I ordered the meal. The meal comes with their cucumber/tomato salad, hummus (?), brown rice, and pita bread. Only the salad is worth having. Note that the prices you see on here are not accurate. Meal ended up being approx. $24. Fish alone is $15.00. This is authentic Mediterranean food, so it's difficult to understand the staff on the phone. After I learn Spanish, Arabic is up next. The fish is Fantastic. Full of different spices, but not hot spicy at all. And with a great Smokey flavor as well. It's an entire fish, so beware of bones. Most of the time, I'm unwilling to deal with bones, but it was worth it. Last, the staff is nice. Smiles are universal, and they smile back when I do. Not a given in Jersey City. HIGHLY recommended.

Another hidden Gem in Jersey City that is easy to miss considering it is tucked in a busy street filled with street vendors and several other retail stores. Family owned, and absolutely delicious food that sticks to the basics (oven baked or bbq'd) with a good selection of local fish like black and stripes bass. Got the grilled shrimp with came with an orgasmic sauce and also got a striped bass baked. Both were fantastic and did not break the bank. We left happy !
