I'll be in staying in Journal Square for a few days and am looking for a few recommendations for dinner. I won't have a vehicle so anything within walking distance would be ideal. Thanks!

Emma's is decent. First time I ate there it was really good. However, last time, the fried chicken sandwich tasted like nothing.

Freetown Road is excellent. Kind of pricey but very good. Wish the portions were bigger.

Korai Kitchen was good.

Rasoi in Little India.

ITA on Bergen Ave is excellent.

15 Fox Place for a special night out.

Tacqueria Mi Mariachi is good. Very authentic.

Mezcal is also very good. Haven't been or ordered from in a while though.

Morgans. Service kinda sucks, food makes up for it. Little pricey, but not nuts

Go to corner of Newark and Kennedy. Options galore in little India.

This is the correct answer. Newark Ave between Tonnelle and Summit. The whole 2 blocks is the best eating around.

ITA down in McGinley sq for Italian good, Mezcal Kitchen on Newark Ave for Mexican

If you like Indian and other similar cuisines, Little India on Newark, west of Kennedy, has a bunch of fantastic spots.

You now have me thinking about the biryani at Rasoi.

If you want something more American, Emma's has good food but to be fair, it often closes early if it doesn't have a crowd.

Besides the list from _homegrown if you want to try some New Orleans / Cajun food check out Krewe of McGinley Square - they are open Thu-Sun for dinner: https://www.krewe-restaurant.com/
