Korahi Kitchen Journal Square

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 feeling inspired to try making some of the dishes at home. This kind of authenticity and warmth is so hard to come by — I’ve already told all my NYC friends about it and will definitely be coming back. A beautiful, delicious, and heartwarming experience all around.

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.

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.
