Stumbled into Boni and Mott with friends for drinks and apps and left OBSESSED! The croquettes were to die for, and the octopus was unreal... seriously some of the best I've had. The cocktails were perfection too. I mean really the whole vibe is just so cute and inviting. Already planning my next visit! read more

Boni and Mott - Chicken Croquettes - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

My husband and I came here for brunch a few weeks ago. It's comfortable and inviting, great for people watching! That said, I think they were significantly understaffed that day because it took quite a while for the waitstaff to come over, and our food was cold by the time we received it. Despite that, the food was delicious. I got the Algerian pancakes and he got the lamb wrap. The pancakes were light and I'd definitely recommend! I would definitely go back and try the other items on the menu. read more

My friends and I stopped by this place for drinks on a Tuesday evening. It was not busy so we were able to sit at a table and order a bottle of rosé. Friendly staff, nice ambiance, and quick service. The rosé was light and refreshing. Would come back to check out their dinner. read more

Short review/best dishes- Slow Roasted Chicken, Mussels, Sprouts This is a small new Mediterranean spot which I recently went to with a group. The staff was friendly and the inside is minimal and nice with the biggest issue being that the main dishes took a notably long time to come out but with the quality of the food, I didn't mind. The drink menu is sparse mostly consisting of almost entirely wine with several by the glass along with three seasonal beers consisting of an IPA, lager, and cider which were each $10. Best of the small plates was the Boni's Mussels for $15 (or $19 with bread) with green apples, chorizo, and spice. The mussels were cooked well and they were fresh with all of them being properly open without there being any grit. The chorizo added a notable small bite to the dish and was a highlight though there wasn't really much green apple of note and I wouldn't have even looked for it if it wasn't for the menu listing. The broth itself was nice and savory with some richness and some saltiness and in winter, it would be very comforting. This was excellent and one of the highlights though I do think the bread should be automatically included or they should offer it with frites. Another small plate and less notable was the Hamachi Tartare for $19 with herb emulsion, pomegranate gel, crostini bread. The hamachi was good quality though the flavors were overall a bit light without much of an herb or citrus note. This was fine. For larger plates we ordered two which were both similarly priced. My preference of the two was the Slow Roasted Chicken for $32 with ras el hanout, Castelvetrano olives, and capers which is surprising as I usually prefer red meat. The chicken which was deboned and was extremely tender and the sauce had some light sourness to it along with some spices such as cumin and otherwise (as it's rather hard to pin down everything within ras el hanout as it's a wide mix) which paired nicely with the chicken. It was very tasty and I would recommend it heavily. The other main dish was the Citrus-Glazed Lamb Chops for $36 had an amba marinade and green fried herb crust. The three lamb chops per plate which were properly cooked had some sourness from the amba and a slight crunch from the herb mixture and they were overall good though the chops themselves were not the biggest especially compared to the colossal ones I had the previous day at Opto. The side salad with chickpeas and lettuce was basic and wasn't too flavored and I would suggest perhaps pomegranate molasses or something similar to add to it to add a bit of a pop. This was good but not amazing with the most notable thing being the lamb's crust which was a fun spin. We also got a side dishe which was the Brussels Sprouts for $12 with strawberry vinaigrette and lemon zest which was an unexpected highlight. On a side note, this was apparently made with the more common pomegranates before but I loved the strawberries instead here. Anyway, the sprouts were roasted well with the vinaigrette being a very nice touch adding some citrus as well as some sweetness from the actual pieces of strawberry. I think a bigger portion of this would be an excellent appetizer especially with summer upcoming perhaps added to an endive salad or spinach or something but I would recommend it currently as a side dish. The food overall here was good. It's not the best Mediterranean food but the portion sizes are good enough and there are some excellent dishes and the prices are overall pretty reasonable especially for places nearby the Bowery and in Nolita. Upper 3/low 4. read more

Very nice and cozy Mediterranean restaurant in Nolita, NYC. I love open air seat during the summer and I pick this restaurant because I want to try new place that is not well known yet or too hype in the touristy area. Food is great, I have a glass of Prosecco with Hiramasa Tartare and Boni's Mussels for appetizers. Citrus-Glazed Lamb Chops and Butterflied Dorade are my main course. I get a surprise cake for my husband which is Brioche pudding and I secretly ask the restaurant to put a birthday candle on the pudding. They do it nicely plus singing Birthday song, that is wonderful. Service is very nice and I'm glad I eat at this restaurant. read more

So happy my friend recommended me to this new-ish restaurant on Mott street, not a far walk from subways. Beautiful inside, love even the plates and silverware! There is one wall with custom wallpaper featuring everyone who helped them get started, including neighbors. Too sweet! One of the owners Salim was the one serving us and he was wonderful. Great wine selection! The organic sauvignon blanc was DELICIOUS. 4 people and we shared food and all enjoyed what we ordered. Butter lettuce salad, beets royale special (not on the menu), hamachi tartare, octopus, mussels, fries. For dessert we had Lemon Pie with crème fresh ice cream Bread pudding with caramel sauce and crème fresh ice cream Mango sorbet Pear sorbet Love this place! read more

We were strolling around in soho shopping, and the wind started. Supposedly it's a thunderstorm. We walked by this restaurant and I dragged my friend in to get a drink to wait for the storm to pass. The best choice ever. Such a vibe sitting at the bar having a drink waiting to rain and people running. The lighting made it everything read more

If I could describe this place with one sentiment it would be this: Food good enough to match excellent cocktails. Actually, that's not entirely fair. Appetizers are excellent. Croquettes were great, and anything with crudo/tartar is rock solid. However, the entrees were slightly disappointing. Dorade lacked something, not sure what. Maybe salt and some spices? My wife had a noodles special which also seemed fine but also missing something flavor wise. Burger was great though, cooked to spec and with good flavors. Dessert was pretty good and made up for somewhat disappointing entrees. I definitely recommend you give Olive Oil cake a try when you are here. The highlight of the evening was the cocktails. I don't even know what we drank half the time, but the mixologist gentleman here (the one with Eastern European accent) was top notch. He would just ask us what we want in terms of liquor and make a cocktail with that. The most memorable one was spicy margarita-like concotion, and my wife's chocolate martini? was very tasty. One note on the staff: they are very efficient here. I only saw the owner (Mehdi) as both the waiter and the host + bartender. Yet somehow everything was moving swiftly with no delays etc. High marks for that. I highly recommend this place for drinks and maybe some food to go with them. read more

drinks were delicious, service was fantastic and prompt. Dan was fantastic would absolutely recommend

Ambience, amazing kind service and great food and cocktails. Good energy with the staff and space in general.

Fantastic experience in a little neighborhood spot. Strong wine selection, where owner steered us to a great, reasonably price bottle. Salads were creative and really yummy, especially the beet salad and a burrata preparation. Look forward to going back! read more

Everything was fabulous, including our seating in the back area. Food was outstanding and so was the natural wine selection, which we really appreciated. We split the Burrata special with roasted baby beets, Octopus à la plancha with sliced eggplant & herbs vinaigrette, and the half cauliflower with house pesto, Bazzini raisins and mint. The service was also terrific ... friendly, attentive, and funny! Atmosphere, location and music selection were all excellent. We were surprised that they have only been open for 5 months. There were zero kinks. We will be back! read more

I would definitely go back! read more

I found this restaurant on yelp. Had never been there before. It was a spontaneous dinner and I called to see if they could accommodate a party of three in 30 minutes. Not only did they accommodate, the restaurant is intimate and beautiful. The food is excellent. The service was divine. I will return. And recommended highly. read more

Loved my experience at Boni & Mott last night. The owners are so passionate about what they're doing and it shows from the moment you walk in. Started with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and their Butter Lettuce salad, which was so delicious (the feta was standout) as were the Brussels Sprouts with pomegranate. I can't wait to come back for a full dinner (I had to run to an event). This place is a stunner that's perfect for a catchup with friends, a date or birthday read more

We booked Boni & Mott on a whim for a birthday dinner for my friend. He had mentioned walking by it one day. Very few reviews at this point, so had no idea what to expect. When we arrived at 7pm, it was empty - but by 8:30pm, all the tables were filled. It took a little while to get any food orders in because we unfortunately have notorious latecomers in the group, and they won't let you put in orders piecemeal. Once everyone showed up, it all went smoothly. Our server, Jacob, was so wonderful. Him and the rest of the staff were so attentive. Waters and drinks refilled asap. The food was quite good - interestingly, we all felt like our dishes were really clean and healthy, and we were craving a bit more fat haha (we went to a bar later and ordered more fries). I def recommend the little gem salad, Brussels sprouts, and lamb chops. We requested a birthday candle for the cake and the whole restaurant sang to our birthday boy - which was the best because he hates birthday celebrations. And they even brought out a complimentary bottle of Prosecco. It really made the night special. What a wonderful surprise. I hope to return soon. PS the lighting for photos is 100% read more

Two of us visited Boni & Mott for an early dinner on Sunday in January. We were seated right away with no reservation. The menu is oriented toward "shareables," but there's a "larger plates" section if you're looking for dinner. Our attentive server, Mehdi, promised that he'd tell us if we were ordering too much, then suggested a sequence for the items we chose: soup and salad specials, then a generous portion of the _best_ mussels we've ever had, then a half cauliflower in pesto-mint-raisin sauce. He did suggest that we omit the burrata, in light of our other selections. We added a nice orange wine from Chateau Maris, and we took his recommended chocolate mousse for dessert, passing up the tempting olive oil cake. We would love to return and try the brunch menu! read more

A cute restaurant, warm interiors, friendly service. The flavors were all good - except my mussels didn't seem fresh (the sauce was nice but the mussels were a mushy texture). read more

Recently went to this establishment for a birthday dinner. The service is great; the food, amazing. This is a good place for family sharing. The owner, who is a pretty cool guy, even recommended it. I highly reccomend the burger, if you are a burger connoisseur, like yours truly. I'd put it up there with some of the best in Downtown, up there with the Odeon burger. The burger is a simple dish, but it's probably one of the easiest to screw up. Our party had a fantastic time. Thank you Boni & Mott for the great service. read more

Great service, awesome food, and the vibes are immaculate. A daytime vibe with the windows open and also a sexy sultry vibe for the evening.

Amazing, cozy restaurant in the heart of SoHo. Staff is friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious, I suggest trying the chicken for a true taste of Mediterranean cuisine. read more

The food and ambiance here is impeccable. However, the host who seems to over see most roles here isn't pleasant!!! I've come here several times with my friends and coworkers. We keep coming back for the food!! He is always very short with his responses to questions and sarcastic. He can be pretty rude and not very welcoming once seated which is odd. Again I highly recommend the food but be prepared to be slightly aggravated. read more

Mussels are the best!!! Will try wines the next time. We only tried small dishes but four small bites should be enough for two people. read more

Great food and wine, enjoyed the octopus appetizer and broccolini with wine. Lovely place after shopping!

Boni & Mott is a mediterranean restaurant on Mott St. between Prince and Spring. It is rather new. It seems to have been open only a few months. It is owned and operated by an Algerian family who have obviously been in the restaurant business before. The food was excellent. The wine by the glass was excellent. And the service, by one of the owners, was spot on. The ambiance was more on the romantic side than most of the restaurants in the neighborhood. It was so nice to see that the restaurant was populated by local adults and not the overwhelmingly obnoxious tick tock youth and tourists that dominate the area. Right on! read more

Great new spot in soho. Loved the chicken and the bread pudding is a must. Service is also excellent.

This is THE spot for the summer. Many tables by the front with open French windows so you can enjoy your meal and people-watch. Service was attentive and kind. read more
