    Chicken bowl
    Rebecca S.

    Grill Point is so delicious! I am sad I have not come here sooner, but happy to have found my new go to lunch/dinner place. Don't sleep on Grill Point- they're my new FAVORITE middle eastern restaurant in Manhattan! You choose your protein (lots of options for vegetarians and meat lovers!) then choose if you want a sandwich (pita or laffa) or as a bowl. Bowls can have a base of salad, rice, cous cous etc., The green falafels smelled amazing so I chose the falafel bowl. My friend had the young chicken shawarma , she said she doesnt even like shawarma but loved theirs after trying it off of her husband's plate. While your protein cooks, you choose your salads, The vegetables are also SO fresh and very well seasoned. There is no limit on how many you choose and no extra charge- so try them all! My favorites: fried eggplant, cabbage, beets and the Israeli salad! Bowls come with a fresh warm bread- choose between homemade laffa bread or pita. The falafels are very good, with a perfect garlicy flavor. It was a huge portion and I will definitely be back for more. They have a cooler with drinks to choose from, water, soda, juice and tea. I appreciated that they had peach snapple both diet and regular. While there are only two counter tops for bar seating inside, they also have an outdoor cabin and additional tables out front for outdoor dining. I will be back to try the chicken and laffa! I will say I had enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow and the flavors taste just as delicious cold as they so warm and fresh! Every bite was better than the next, my actual question is where are they sourcing their produce? Seriously the freshest sweetest tomatoes and onions I've had in a loong time. Really kind customer service, the owner Albert came by to check to see how everything was! When he thought I hadn't been given bread, he rushed to grab me some so quickly I barely had time to tell him that I has wolfed it down warm! Will be a struggle not to come back tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday - can already tell this falafel bowl is about to become an addiction.

    Grill Point on Lexington is very new. I went in to check it out one day when I saw someone sitting in the window. It turns out she was the receptionist and she immediately got up to greet me. I told her I wanted to photograph and check out the menu and she was receptive. This place has everything modern and sanitary. There's a unisex restroom and modern check out registers. You can sit at the windows on a stool or dine in the outdoor enclosed shed on the street. I found the menu moderately priced. There's plenty of variety and they are family conscious offering a kids menu. I thought the kids menu was pricey. The food is fresh and the cooks hard at work. They're not busy in the morning during the week. While I'm not familiar with many of the food items I intend to return to experiment. Until then I'll stick with the Avocado Smash and side salad.

    Had a bowl with schnitzel and some really delicious sides - like hummus, grilled vegetables, israeli salad. I was pretty impressed. only thing i didn't live was the laffa, which seemed kind of bland. I'd go back if i was in the mood for shawarma. probably wouldn't get the schnitzel again.

    Delicious! So much fun to eat at and the staff members are the sweetest! The chicken was crispy and the pita was warm and fully! Highly recommend if you're in the area!

    I have never had such a delicious shawarma before... Grill Point on Lexington has an amazing Mediterranean Israely food. I truly felt like being teleported to "Shook Hatikvvah" The food here is amazing. Every Pita is loaded, generous portions, great ingredients, fresh, delicious. Couldn't have enough of it. Totally and whole heartedly recommend

    Israeli Salad

    So funny story... I was on my way to college and a random man on the street gave me a menu for this place. A new Middle Eastern and Kosher restaurant close to my college? Was intrigued and had to check it out. So glad that I did. Overall, I was impressed! The restaurant is set up like this. You order your food at the counter and hand them your ticket afterwards. (Though, I was not aware of this until after I waited a while for my order. Service could be improved). Then you can request as many toppings as you'd like in your meal. There's some seating inside, but there's nicely decorated outdoor seating as well. They also have a kids menu. Something for everyone! Feeling hungry for lunch, I ordered myself a Chicken Shawarma with laffa bread and requested hummus, tahini, diced tomatoes, and cucumbers to be added inside. The shawarma was so delicious!! Hands down, one of the best I've ever had in NYC. The meat was flavorful, cooked perfectly, and all of the ingredients went so well together. Everything was served warm and tasted freshly made. Now I'm craving some more laffa bread! The price was a bit high, though the huge portion made up for it. I also ordered an Israeli salad on the side, which complemented the food well. Awesome addition to the Upper East Side and I can't wait to come back and try more items on their menu. Thank you to the random man who gave me this menu :D

    Sorry, but $17.50 for a shawarma pita sandwich at a take-out is ridiculous. Pass.

    Miznon is always fantastic I was particularly impressed by…read morethe extremely warm, professional customer service at the times square location. Everyone from the cashier to the man behind the grill to the guy baking a fresh batch of tahini chocolate chip cookies for us were just SO kind. They even offered us a free taste of their lemonade which was incredibly refreshing. Mia and Fusy (maybe Suzy) should be acknowledge for their hospitality, professionalism, efficiency while still very warm. The steak and eggs pita was amazing as always- this and the baby roasted cauliflower are my MUST ORDERS- you will be sad you do not- but everything at Miznon is sooo good!! This mizon is very clean and speedy, but will not rush you if you stay a while!

    We went to Miznon 3 times (2x at this location, once in the Chelsea Market) during our trip and it…read morewas, without a doubt, the best food we had in New York. I got the mushroom pita and the whole roasted baby cauliflower, and both were insane. Mushroom Pita: Fresh, fluffy pita bread, with roasted mushrooms in an umami-rich tahini sauce. This was mouthwateringly good, and the mushrooms also had a great, fresh texture. Baby Cauliflower: It sounds so simple but the magic is in the execution. The cauliflower is both soft and firm at the same time; it almost melts in your mouth. There's a reason that two times we went to Miznon, they had already run out. Friendly service, and a chill ambiance. They have fresh tomatoes and long green peppers as a living decor, and they will give you a cooked pepper if you like. Take them up on their offer - the pepper is delicious (and spicy if you eat the seeds).

    Right, so I'm walking around this crazy city of Manhattan and im usually around or just around…read moreCentral Park. So I'm on 44th Street and I end up at this joint called Sen Sakana. They say it's "Kosher Nikkei Cuisine." Nikkei, right? It's Japanese and Peruvian I think. Just the thought makes you feel like you've got a window open, looking out upon two different countries, one on each side, it's that different. The whole thing is fusion, but it's not phony. Not at all. ​You should have seen the edamame, perfectly salted and green, not all soggy and gray like they make them in most places. The chawanmushi they served was crazy. Smooth as anything. It was in this cute little glass jar, which is kind of a childish thing to do, but it was actually pretty special. It had some kind of crazy salmon roe, ikura, floating on top, and those salty little orange balls just pop in your mouth and taste like the actual ocean. I swear. It really did. ​Then they bring out some steak. It looked just plain, you know? But it was actually A5 Wagyu. If you know anything about beef, that's as high as it gets. And the sauce? The menu said Huuancaína. That's Peruvian. So it's this crazy fancy Japanese steak dipped in this spicy, cheesy Peruvian sauce. It makes me want to scream, it's so unexpected, but it works. It really does. It was the least phony steak I've ever had. ​The Sen Sakana Omakase was something else, though. The chef, this Japanese guy who looked about as old as my grandfather, which made you know he was serious brings out twelve pieces of nigiri and this huge spicy tuna handroll. The fish was so cold and fresh and clean. The octopus, that's some crazy tentacle stuff, was chewy but not too chewy. The whole time, I was just eating this fish and watching all the phonies walk by outside on 44th Street. It almost makes you want to cry. It was about as close to real as anything I've ever experienced. ​You should have seen the place. The lights were sort of dim and yellow, and the wood was all clean and sleek, not all cluttered and phony. It felt almost like you were outside. If you have to eat at a special place, you should eat at Sen Sakana. The food is good, it's not phony, and you can just watch all the morons outside and not have to talk to them. It almost makes you happy.

    My sister is allergic to shellfish but wanted to try sushi so I found her a kosher sushi…read morerestaurant. The restaurant is pretty spacious and the service was very good. We started with mushroom and truffle empanadas and then had the sushi rolls - everything was fresh and delicious. One downside was the condition of the ladies room - to put it nicely it was disgusting. My sister changed her mind about using it after going inside. Other than that I would recommend giving them a try.

One would think how hard it is to make chicken soup, put chicken in the water, add salt, bring to a boil, cook for an hour. Done. Apparently whomever cooked chicken soup that I was served did not read that memo. The soup I was served was absolutely the worst soup I have ever had in my life. It got better with next coarse, but not memorable at all considering the price. $$$.

It lacked the bold Parmesan and peppercorn flavor that usually defines it. The fries stood out in a good way. They had great crunch and texture and were easily the most consistent item on the table. The ribeye was decent but not at the level you expect for a $90 cut. The temperature came out at a proper medium and there was a noticeable char, which added some flavor. However, it tasted like it had been reheated rather than cooked fresh. The bone was not hot and the fat was not fully rendered or caramelized, which took away from the overall experience. It was not bad, but it missed the mark for the price point. Service was good, which helped the experience. But, with so many solid steakhouse options in NYC, this is not a place I would go out of my way to return to.
