This is an adorable locally owned and run restaurant featuring Mediterranean food that resembles Egyptian food. The place is very homey, which I personally loved. I believe it’s just one person running the entire place, which is impressive. That being said, service is slow – so plan to take awhile when you come.
The food is pretty good considering the options in the area, though it’s not an authentic taste (family is Egyptian and we just came back from Egypt so it’s likely our standards are a bit higher than most). The most authentic dishes (of the ones we tried) were the Moussaka and the Koshari. Though the Koshari was a bit overcooked, so when you add the tomato sauce it gets a bit soggy. The Molokhia was a bit bland and didn’t have the traditional tomato and salty broth flavor. Skip the Za’atar (bread was very hard) but don’t miss the Moussaka with beef.

Incredible hidden gem. Food is spectacular, every item I’ve had has been scrumptious. I always order the hummus to start. The cream of mushroom soup is to die for, but it was a special last night so it may not always be available, if it is, get it, you won’t be sorry. The vegetarian koshari is my favorite entrée, so delicious and savory. Be sure to save room for dessert, the baked rice pudding and bread pudding are my go tos. On the weekends they serve fresh rose water, which is a beautiful touch. BYOB also. I wish I could give more than 5 stars, this place is the best around.

Delicious from start to finish! Wonderful and welcoming atmosphere complimented by fresh authentically prepared dishes. Hidden gem in the heart of Ocean NJ. Reasonably priced as well. Be sure to get the falafel appetizer and delectable lebnah. Owner is kind and talented and holds passion for what he does. Will return every time I am in the area! Thank you.

Our dinner was delicious. We had the special, which was chicken breast with dates and also the hummus entree. The falafel appetizer was presented beautifully. The service 10/10, presentation of food 10/10 and the food 10/10. Amazing neighborhood restaurant!

Only by chance did I see an intriguing review regarding Cafe 28 that inspired me to give it a try, and wow, am I pleased that I did. After just a few bites, Cafe 28 became my most favorite restaurant in the area.
The owner/chef imbues each bite with such unique ingredients that conjure up such new and unique flavors, I honestly haven’t enjoyed a meal this much in a very long time.
Some highlights:
The falafel. What. Is. This. Magnificent. Flavor! It is light-years better than any falafel I’ve tasted before. Oddly, I didn’t think falafel, due to its ingredients, could taste very different but this was such a delight. And it’s shaped differently too, making us not only tasty, but easier to eat.
Apricot drink. Sweet, creamy, cinnamon-y, an intoxicating concoction inspired by the ambrosia of the gods that lacks words to describe just how terrific this drink is.
It’s tucked away in Cobblestone Village and has a very unassuming exterior that belies the hidden treasures of flavor inside. A definite must try.

I treated myself to the cafe 28 special for lunch. I’m so full but if I had extra falafel I probably wouldn’t stop eating. Delectable. Surprisingly scrumptious. I am thankful I live around the corner so the falafel will be mine.

Why are there only 5 stars! He deserves a 10!
He js the owner and chef of Café 38, hidden in Oakhurt’s Cobblestone Village. You might pass it if you just went by the plain, unassuming exterior. But the joy comes when you start to eat the food. He makes the food, greats and serves the guests, and loves talking about his food. Each item he makes comes 100% from his heart and that love oozes out of his food. He specially prepares everything by infusing his own spices.
For us, he served us fresh squeezed apricot with a cinnamon stick. Delicious! He also served us unsweetened ice tea but the spices he infused transformed that tea. He served his own Moroccan coffee. For lunch, I told him to surprise me. He made a falafel wrap with mint. I have never had such a perfect wrap in my life! For dessert, he served us rice pudding with Béchamel. Amazing.
As I melted in my seat, he thanked me for my appreciation. He said it was all from God. He said he used to pay for advertising but got nothing. When he handed everything up to God, the recommendations from guests brought in more than any advertisement ever could. He said his menu too is based on his conversations with God. I could tell! I felt like I was tasting love.
We caught this place on off hours, so we had him all to ourselves. But my hope is that my post will fill that restaurant up with people who also want to taste love.

What a gem! We had the most special dining experience. The owner greets you, reviews the menu and then cooks the most incredible meal. True dining experience. Food was outstanding. Can’t wait to come back.
