Korai Kitchen (NO DINE-IN WITHOUT RESERVATIONS!)

Such a great experience! The food was absolutely phenomenal- I ordered on Sunday for takeout- I ordered the chicken curry and the Sunday breakfast special, which was excellent. They were quite busy when I arrived to pick up my food and it took a little bit longer, but it was well worth the wait. Which stood up to me most with the hospitality, even though it was a carry out order- A handwritten note was left with my food, apologizing for the wait; and they shared an extra little bite of lentils, which were also delicious. To me, this is true hospitality. They also wrote a nice note on the outside the bag saying eat with your hands and to enjoy the food and thanked me for coming. I highly recommend dining at this restaurant which also offers a tasting menu on Friday and Saturday nights. I

The food was exemplary, reminiscent of Bengali and Bangal food back home in Kolkata and Bangladesh. I got the rui mach curry and plain rice and because it was my first time ordering out, they added a Dal as well, which was very flavorful and had a 'bhindi' masala aftertaste making it's flavor very different than home but novel. They also added a very sweet note for people ordering for the first time to make added memories for customers. Overall a terrific experience and I'd highly recommend this restaurant offering authentic Bengali food as the only authentic Bengali restaurant in and near Jersey City.

We had the 3-hour course meal for dinner and it was truly an unforgettable experience. It was such a pleasure meeting the chef and her daughter, who run the place so smartly and gracefully. I absolutely loved how Bangladeshi cuisine was introduced and presented — it's incredibly rare to find a restaurant that stays true to authentic Bangladeshi flavors without mixing in Indian dishes just to please the crowd. The chef’s creativity really stood out. As someone who’s quite picky and critical with food, I was blown away. It takes a truly talented chef to make you crave another bite even when you’re completely full — and that’s exactly what happened. The food was fresh, lightly marinated, and full of flavor. My husband was transported back to the taste of his mother’s cooking, and I left feel

Delightful DAWAT experience. Thank you so much. Mrs Korai is a very kind lady and consummate cook. Her daughter is a great host. Every dish had a story. Can’t wait to go back

I absolutely loved this experience! From the moment I walked in, I could tell this place was something special. The atmosphere was intimate and full of personality—but the real magic? The food. Every dish felt personal, full of depth and care. You could taste the heart and soul in every bite—so much love went into the cooking. The flavors were rich and complex, but still comforting and familiar. It was the perfect introduction to Bangladeshi food. If you're looking for something unique, genuine, and truly delicious, this is it. I’ll be thinking about this meal for a long time.
