Chicken over rice
The dish everyone comes back for. Generously portioned, sauced right, and made fresh — it's earned a following on its own.

Fresh every day
On JFK Boulevard, Jersey City
Coffee, a full meal, or something sweet to go — stop in whenever you're passing through.

Got to know this small corner spot because of my teens, very nice place the owner and the Ecuadorean girl that handles the food are great very attentive and hospitable they make you feel right at home. The food if you like halal the breakfast and pastries 🥐 are soft and delicious the seating is alittle tight but if you don’t mind it then you’ll enjoy the atmosphere I recommend for anyone in jersey city near Hudson community college and Saint Peter’s university. Definitely recommend🥰
