“ We had such a great time here. It's small and intimate. Great to dine in or take out. The customer service is wonderful and the food is amazing! I highly recommend Alkofeia! ”
“ Alkofeia’s customer service is beyond unmatched. From the moment we walked in, the hostess made us feel so welcomed and took his time explaining everything on the menu since it was our first time trying Palestinian food. Every dish was packed with flavor and absolutely phenomenal. You can really feel the love and tradition in each bite. Can’t wait to come back again! ”
“ Fragrant, mouth-watering grilled or roasted generous portions of meat, smothered in flavors, with herbed rice, fresh salads and piping hot bread served with olive oil, herbs and green olives. The chefs prepare Palestinian dishes in mouthwatering tradition that is carried down from generations of lineage. Try the ouzi lamb or chicken. It’s like a present they open for you at the table, large enough for three people! The pita breads are hand rolled, and out of this world. Make room for dessert, the fresh honey-drizzled baklava and fresh mint tea are soothing for any time of year. The staff are super welcoming, kind, and offer a family atmosphere, safe and cozy. The colorful murals and gift shop alone were a draw. Everything is reasonably priced and beautiful. I’ll definitely be back with more friends! ”
“ What an incredible place! Food is absolutely exceptional and service is so impressive. When I called to make a reservation, they thoughtfully suggested ordering in advance so our food would be ready upon arrival—such a sweet and considerate touch! The Msakhan was bursting with flavor, the Ouzi was simply out of this world, and the meat kebabs were tender and delicious. We requested to substitute the rice and fries with a salad, and they were more than happy to accommodate us. I absolutely LOVE this place! It’s warm, inviting, and truly special, with an amazing atmosphere. The Palestinian vibes and hospitality are just perfect! ”
“ I visited this restaurant recently. The service was great. The girl was smiling and kind, and the food was very delicious. I don’t recommend sitting outside. Just sit inside. I ordered lamb kebab with salad i will leave you the pictures! ”
“ Came here with a group of 3 around 11PM. In a Friday night, everything was made fresh to order. We were served fluffy warm pita bread as we waited for our food. We ordered arayas for an appetizer, the mixed grill with rice and an extra side of fries. The mixed grill came with some babaganoush. Everything was delicious! This was more than enough food for the three of us and we had plenty leftovers as well. Service was attentive and friendly. Great experience and will be back again! ”
“ Hands down the best restaurant in Bayonne! Their Maqluba is absolutely amazing — saying it’s great doesn’t even come close. Whether you get it with chicken or beef, both are seriously next-level. They also have a kofta sandwich that’s totally unique and super delicious! It’s real value for money — high quality, generous portions, and a super friendly, respectful, and welcoming staff. They serve love, warmth, and a smile before the food even hits your table. ”
“ Great food that’s really well-seasoned. Did not feel heavy or greasy at all despite being rich. Excellent place to get a taste of Palestinian cuisine. I also recommend trying their Mint lemonade, very refreshingly sweet & sour. The Kunafa was very decadent. Will definitely come back for more! ”
