Crema's Take
“Tucked in Sunnyside, this Algerian gem serves as a genuine gathering place where owner Amina and her team treat every visitor like family, transforming a simple café visit into a homecoming experience complete with traditional North African dishes like crispy boureks and comforting rechta. The kitchen honors authentic recipes with real care—diners rave about flavors that spark nostalgia and warmth—while Algerian music and unhurried service create the perfect backdrop for lingering conversations over coffee and pastries.”

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!
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😊
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!
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!
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
