This is my third time at The Kasbah Café, and it keeps getting better. Everything was exceptional: the bourek was perfectly crispy, the rechta was comforting and full of flavor, and the mille-feuille was light, flaky, and absolutely delicious. The Hamoud drink was the perfect match with the meal.
What really makes this place special is the hospitality. Every visit feels genuinely warm and welcoming, and the owners are truly wonderful. If you want authentic food made with care and great service, this spot is a must. I honestly wish they would open the same café in Florida!

I discovered this restaurant thanks to an Instagram post, and I’m so glad I did! Everything was excellent. We had the couscous and the rechta—both were absolutely delicious and full of flavor. My niece ordered a French tacos, and it was surprisingly light and really tasty.
For dessert, we tried the pistachio flan and the almond tart—just perfect. I usually don’t like overly sweet desserts, and these were perfectly balanced. Special mention for the tea: truly excellent.
The owners were incredibly friendly, the service was flawless, and the atmosphere felt very welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!

The most incredible experience! Amina and Halim not only make unbelievable food, but are also the warmest hosts. I felt like I was visiting family. My jme in NY was limited, but I’m so happy I got to visit this amazing place. I really hope to visit again! Love from Scotland

On a very cold day we experienced the warmest welcome from Amina. The food was great, nice Algerian music, and Amina even gave us a pack of Rechta to take home with us! Best way to keep customers coming back

Food, service and atmosphere is 10/10. The food was incredible- just wow! I really felt so much nostalgia with each dish- one that brings me back home. The service was top- I met both the pasterie chef and owner who were so kind and welcoming. This is my new spot!

Food was absolutely delicious, Amina was the loveliest host and my friends and I had a wonderful time here — the chickpea soup will be on my mind for a while, as well as the branzino and the french kofta wrap. Chackchouka was also great. will def be back!!

The owner makes everything hand made, even the buns for the burgers, which taste amazing. He makes everything perfectly and to satisfy his customers. He uses only the best quality of produce and anyone who comes into this cafe to buy his food will see that his food is authentic and very tasty. You can get a tender&juicy lamb shank that comes off the bone You can taste the food not just spices… Can’t recommend it enough. You have to try it!!!

Introduced by Algerian friend and it was my first time trying Algerian food- apparently the best place for Algerian food in NYC (based on native Algerian feedback).
One way to describe this is it feels like “homemade Algerian food made by warm-hearted family”- sentiment difficult to experience in typical NYC restaurants. Chicken and beef were so tender and cooked to perfection, and the large portion pointed the chef’s generosity and hospitality. They also have books & arts on the wall to educate customers about the Algerian culture, which added extra flavor to this cute cafe.
Highly recommend for all new yorkers who want to try Algerian food for the first time and those from North Africans who reminisce about their country and crave home-style meals. It was truly a warm, flavorful experience!

Superb experience at Kasbah Café, the staff are lovely and the food is excellent, I had couscous and usually I’m not a fan of couscous in restaurants, but this one prepared by Abbes was incredibly good, better than you could eat at home, the semolina was super melting, the millefeuille prepared by Rayan was also really delicious ! Amina and her husband are very warm and caring, they take an interest in their customers and share a lot with us, making us feel right at home. I won’t hesitate to come back the next time I’m in New York and recommend it to everyone !
