    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

    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.

    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!

    Ambiance: (5/5) Loved the vibe. The music was good and the decor is great. Seats are a bit close but nothing different than other restaurants in NYC. Price: (4/5) Prices are average for the area. Leaning a bit expensive because the portions are on the smaller end. Food: (5/5) I loved the food. The shakshuka was the best I've had in a long time. It has a great layer of spice and sauce on the sides eggs were perfectly cooked. The short rib with the puff pastry was also great. The beef was perfectly cooked and it was ubi Service: (5/5) They come back and check in often even when they are busy.

    Everything about 19 Cleveland was remarkably great. From the food to the service to the ambience, this was a fantastic spot to visit for lunch, and I imagine that dinner would be just as great. Located in a fun part of Soho, I would recommend this spot to any local or tourist looking for a place to stop in the area!

    I'm so glad my friend recommended going here because it's one of those restaurants that pique your…read moreinterest but you never really know how to navigate-- but lucky me, I had an Albanian friend to show me around. First thing you'll notice upon entry is how absolutely decorated it is. If you're a fan of Witcher, it's like walking into an an old-timey tavern. If you have no idea then-- it's like an old-timey tavern. I wouldn't be surprised of they had bard Fridays and homemade mead. It's also a big space. Reminds me of one of the last remnants of the bygone era that was the Obama-era glow. Like peak millenial where restaurants were starting to get viral but not to the point where they have to hyper compete with a gimmicky dish. The prices are a bit steep and was making me consider dropping my rating down a star but fuggit, I like their food. I played it safe and got the mixed grill meats but that's because I lack reading comprehension and thought the main dish (I don't know what it's called, it's just the 1st entree listed) was a baked meat pie situation, it was more grilled steak on a bed of mash potatoes but these mash potatoes were savory like gravy. I wish I got my friend's dish. The mixed grilled meats were a lot closer to doners or skewer meat. Different cuts but also different flavors. What they had in common was a sort of spice-forward sizzling taste. My friend got two appetizers (which I also don't know the name of) but were definitely the most beautifully presented foods I've had in a long while. They were both creams but one had a pepper in it (not the spicy kind). The pepper one was a light refreshing sourness and the other was a heavier but not heeeeavy savory one. Both great to dip your bread in. I wanted to try the lemon cookie for dessert but my friend got us all Tres Leches by accident. That was great but I would say the most non-novel out of everything we got. Delicious, just not something out of the norm-- which is what I go for when I'm trying a new cuisine like Albanian. I wouldn't say this is normal day-to-day Albanian (I have a few friends), it's more like the Americana equivalent, an upscale where Albanians go out to eat.

It was a little hard to hear and converse at times as it gets crowded, but the food was delicious and there are really unique items on the menu. Food: The duck shawarma was one of our favorites! The lamb and scallops were also flavorful and tender. The dips were delicious with the pita, but I wish the serving size for the dips were bigger. The fries were great - well seasoned! Also recommend the milky pudding, it was a nice refreshing way to end the dinner.

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.

We could not have been happier with what we got for a place that we picked totally randomly.

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.
