Came for the 8pm Saturday dinner, could not recommend more. The food, hospitality, and general environment are simply unmatched. Come hungry, and be prepared to take lots of food home. There’s no better place to experience Bangladeshi food, you truly will be immersed in a cornucopia of flavors and dishes that span everything that they have to offer. Unrivaled experience but be ready for it, dinner lasts 3 hours and is 10 courses minimum. Not for the faint of heart, or spice.

The food is delicious and excellent service. It’s a 40 minute drive for me but absolutely worth it. They even gave us extra aloo bhorta for free.
Amma’s Dawat was a warm, delicious experience. The food was exceptional and Nur-E’s descriptions throughout the night were educational and made us feel welcome. Would recommend the Dawat dinner (if you can get in) or the takeout because the Bangladeshi cuisine is so flavorful.

I had very high expectations of Korai Kitchen’s food, and it exceeded them effortlessly. Ordered the cauliflower/mixed veg and chicken curry, and they sweetly added a daal because it was my first time ordering. Everything was fresh, delicious, and cooked to perfection! Will be going back repeatedly!

Overall a decent Bangladeshi restaurant. People are definitely happy to find a Bangladeshi restaurant in Jersey City. Food wise, the fried rui fish was a little dry, and the bhorta’s are a little watery. Usually in Bangladesh aloo bhorta and daal bhorta are not watery.Flavor wise everything hits the mark.

Oh man, this experience will go down in history for me and my partner. May this story serve as warning for all to come. It was a cold Saturday evening, we live in NYC but we were passing by Jersey City on our drive home so we planned to stop here and excitedly revolved our day around it. We made it to JC around 4pm, looked around and killed some time till the restaurant opening at 6pm. It was a fridged evening so we were relived to finally find parking near the restaurant and enter inside, only to be greeted by a very nice yet stressed host saying that they are not doing dine-ins. What?! The host was apologetic and said you can do takeout if you want but it will be at least an hour or more. According to the website Friday and Saturday accommodates walk-ins and we were one of the first to arrive, it was empty. It was a total waste of time, nothing short of a hungry tragedy. I don't know if this place went Tiktok viral or what but I have never experienced such a thing. Moral of the story, make a reservation!

Loved the food... Must try. The place too far from our home. We travelled almost 1.30 almost just to taste the authentic Bengali cuisine. And the food is amazing. Just one thing I want to add that the fish curry is little bit oily. Otherwise, it's yummy. The price range is too reasonable. Just give it a try. You will not regret it.

I was very skeptical at first not having tried Bangladeshi food before but took the leap and my I was so surprised and enchanted. This food is magical, you can taste the love in every bite and it really touches your soul. My new favorite hotspot in my hood! I'm so proud thank you for the experience and many more to come Korai family.

Had dinner at Korai Kitchen on a Saturday. It is a BYOB place, so feel free to bring your own wine. It was a lovely experience overall. However, there are nuances. First off, it was a dinner date for me (an overwhelming majority of people dininig were on dates). Starting with a dingy, dim-lit neighborhood of Journal Square, to a very spartan vibe of the restaurant, it was falling short of a proper date experience. The food was delicious, definitely one of the best comfort foods I have ever eaten. At the same time, at the price point of close to 100 dollars per person without alcohol, if you factor in tax and tip, I was expecting more.
Amazing cute little restaurant with the biggest heart ever. food was amazing full of flavor. beef curry was full of meat and amazing flavor. the lady that helped up was the sweetest one ever.
Korai kitchen has set the standard for me when it comes to South Asian cuisine . Bangladeshi cuisine is often overshadowed by the extra unnecessarily spicy Indian Food (not all of them tho but most) that is available here in NYC/NJ but @koraikitchen is soaring high even being amongst all of that. Loved the food, loved the flavours, loved everything to be precise.

Great place to eat with variety of Indian food, fresh and tasty. Prices here are VERY resonable as i was here on a sunday and paid less than $100 for 4 people in the afternoon hours. Hope to come back here in the near future, please check it out!!
I was introduced to Korai Kitchen by a friend. When I went there for the first time and tried their buffet spread—dal, aloo bhortha, mutton curry, rohu curry, eggplant fry, mishti doi, and other dishes—I simply couldn’t forget the taste! It instantly transported me back home. The authenticity of the flavors and comfort of a home-cooked meal was what came to me. It was elevating for my senses in a way that it truly felt like food for the soul! Couldn’t have been happier to find this place. Once you eat here, there’s no going back!
Amazing quality authentic Bengali food. I love Bengali food because of its usage of many veggies and fishes which work really well for a healthy and fulfilling diet. Plus it definitely Satisfies home cooked cravings away from home, truly a gem of a restaurant. Worth it ?❤️?
