    Focaccia bread
    Cindy L.

    This place is so cute and so delicious. The food is super fresh and tasty. We had chicken thigh skewer and focaccia and both were delicious with good portions. The staff is lovely although it wasn't very crowded and they hardly checked on us. The vibe is charming - good music + bright and well lit + lots of greenery. Definitely worth checking out

    Safta's Chicken Schnitzel - Dinner and  Chicken Shawarma

    We were surprised this spot was practically empty throughout our time. The food and services were fundamental! Everything was so flavorful and I was quite satisfied with what we had ordered.

    The dips were great and probably my favorite part of the meal We also got lamb bites which were delicious and had generous portion sizes Downside was that we ordered the vegetable dipping plate but did not realize it was an additional cost. The vibe inside was nice and there is lots of seating however the back of the restaurant where we sat can get a little crammed.

    Chicken Shawarma - did not enjoy. Chicken was a bit dry and too salty. Huge portion.

    Service was friendly. The appetizers were decent - tried the hummus with egg and it came with some hot sauces and pickles and pita - nice and fluffy. The Israeli chopped salad was nice but a bit salty. For the entree I tried the chicken schwarma and it was a huge portion but the chicken was dry and salty. I didn't want anymore after a few bites.

    This place was so fun! Good: - Pita and hummus was so good! Loved the tomato hummus - I really loved the duck tacos, they had this great crunch and savory taste - The beets were amazing too, loved the sauce they came with - Good service and attentive to our table - Olive oil cake was so good and not too sweet Bad - It's so loud. So hard to hear over each other - Pretty expensive for the food and bar vibes and ambiance more than catchup place Overall this felt like a fun party environment

    Fabulous spot for amazing Mediterranean / Israeli cuisine with innovative dishes & cocktails and fabulous service! Absolutely loved the brunch special latke with duck, trumpet mushrooms and a sunny side egg, and the beets with labneh are exquisite as well. The hummus came with a huge platter of diverse vegetables to accommodate a gluten free diet. The interior is a tastefully designed mix of old and new, though seating is rather packed.

    After our visit to the tenement museum I was looking for Middle Eastern food, and we found this place was nearby. At 4:30 we were the only customers. We just wanted a late lunch and the menu is pretty limited, but we found a Falafel sandwich that we loved and was big enough to share, but you have to be willing to cut the pita yourself and have it a little messy; there's also a spicy falafel burger, but we don't do spice very well so we thought we'd stick with this. And we're very satisfied!. They served a nice large carafe of water with mint and lemon which won me over. The place is cozy and the service is good and the staff is friendly.

    Finally got a chance to dine in since my last visit was a couple years ago and the takeout food was good but service was terrible. Dining it was a pleasure and the food was great. Would recommend here

    BEST FOOD IN NY! Omg I wish I could eat here everyday! The passion fruit soda AMAZING the tomato garlic hummus FIRE, the lamp chips that come with amazing potatoes and tzatziki MUST GET and there was a red snapper Schnitzel on the special today with a sauce SO GOOD. Amazing service, quick resy, gorgeous restaurant, 100000/10

    Mangal Chicken Skewers
    Anthony R.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in all of NYC. It's a very tight but lively space - the portions are big and the flavors are amazing! The Yemen Duck tacos are some of the best appetizers I have ever had and the star of the schnitzel is actually the mashed potatoes that go with it. One of my favorite dishes however is the pappardelle limone and it's tempura poached egg - never had a crispy poached egg before but it was so thick and yummy. Can't wait to come back here. It's one of the best Mediterranean spots.

    Mushroom Cigars (V) - Dinner + Grilled Halloumi Cheese - Dinner
    Monica J.

    Oh my goodness, the food is INSANE. It was definitely my favorite spot I went to on my trip-- and I ate at a ton of great restaurants! The service was standard- staff were present and quick once you got their attention. The vibes of the restaurant is very chic and sultry (mood lighting, tasteful decor, etc) BUT the tables are so close together that you are practically eating with the people next to you. Also, the restaurant's music was too loud, so everyone had to practically yell to chat with their dinner guest to hear a thing. If they adjust the music and space tables a bit more appropriately, it would be an amazing spot!

My husband and I shared the pepper dip and the baked cheese appetizers, which come with freshly baked bread. Seriously delicious. For entrees, I got the tava kosi, which is an egg dish with two pieces of lamb. Honestly I didn't love it. It's a LOT of egg. The lamb pieces were delicious, but I was already so full that I could only have one piece. I wish it had a bit less egg and a bit more other things, but I know this is their national dish. My husband got the qofte shari. It was perfect. Cooked so well, the meat was spiced uniquely, even the fries were great. I think I just ordered the wrong thing! I would seriously love to return and try another clay dish. We finished off the meal with Albanian coffee, which was like Turkish coffee, but smoother and better. All in all, left so happy and full. Service was so attentive, too. Go here for a unique meal in the cutest little restaurant.

The staff was extremely warm, kind and welcoming and a special shoutout to Irem who was amazing, gave us some great recommendations and took care of us throughout. I went for the $39 prix fixe brunch which is honestly such a great deal and comes with quite a spread. I had the muhammara, hummus, shakshuka and dessert and thoroughly enjoyed my coffee too. We also ordered the tuna Niçoise salad, which is by far the best I have had ever. One of my friends was accidentally served the wrong order and they immediately replaced it with the right one and made her meal completely complimentary, which was such a nice gesture and something we really appreciated. We also loved that nobody was rushing us and we could just sit, chat and enjoy our brunch. Great food, beautiful ambiance, wonderful hospitality and even the restrooms were spotless and very well maintained. Overall such a positive experience and easily a 5/5 for me.

We were lead upstairs to a table. There were 7 of us The seating was cozy but not cramped. We started with 7 family style small dishes: Hummus with Falafel Pops (chickpea purée, tahini, falafel, olive oil), Spring Burrata (roasted cherry tomatoes, toast, basil oil), Hamachi Crudo (passionfruit vinaigrette, citrus zest, cucumber, mint, sesame tuile), Scallops (carrot puree, serrano pepper, brown butter sauce), Tenderloin Skewer (zaatar chimichurri, fresh herb salad), and Shiitake Stuffed Grape Leaves (tomato coulis, yogurt foam, herbs). Everything was delicious. The hummus was well seasoned the falafel had a nice crunch. It went well with the warm puffy gyro bread that came to the table. The burrata was wasm and creamy. I love the vinaigrette on the fish. I ended up eating most of it. The scallops were the sweetest, most tender ones I have ever had. The tenderloin skewers were tender and well seasoned. I liked the grape leaves but the rice consistency was very soft almost mushy and you can barely tell there were mushrooms. There was barely any mushrooms flavor. Next we all chose an entree. I got the duck breast, my husband and daughter each had the beef tenderloin. The duck breast was smaller than i expected. The skin was nicely seared and very crispy but boy did it give my jaw a workout. It was done medium rare. It was juicy but tough. The small beef tenderloin was tender and smoky. The waiter poured the sauce over the tenderloin for added flavor. Finally dessert was a fruit plate with ice cream and pudding. The fruit was fresh and the flavors of the ice cream and pudding unique. It was a nice end to a good brunch. The price was a little expensive at $85 a person.

The birthday coupons are what had brought me in every year, but even though they stopped during Covid, I still enjoy visiting. My go-to dish is the Iskender Kebab - delicious slices of lamb with tomato sauce and yogurt over baked pita bread. I also enjoy the combination platter with dips - the baba ghanoush is delicious. The atmosphere is classy but down-to-earth. The cocktails are tasty. The service can be slow, but it means we are never rushed out. The prices are mid-high, but commensurate with the quality of food.

Then the food itself arrived and was really delicious and well presented, just look at those kebab plates and dips! They also gave our group free baklava at the end I think just because they felt a little bad they had to rush us, which wasn't even their fault and was super appreciated. Also, the interior decoration is fantastic. The restaurant feels super classy and elegant. Great vibes for a date, a business dinner, or just a fancy dinner. Overall, easy 5 stars. Great food and amazing service. Oh and the wine was delicious too.
