    Steak Caesar Salad
    Marina F.

    Definitely not a huge fan of Holy. I have gotten sandwiches here including the shwanitzel which has shwarma, schnitzel, fries, and sauce in it. It tastes like a whole lot of breading and not much meat. It was also greasy. Since I did not like my sandwich last time, I switched to a salad. I got steak Caesar salad. The portion was nice but the steak wasn't great quality and I had higher expectations for it. Also the dressing didn't really have much flavor.

    Baguette about it.

    My sister-in-law is a doll. A doll who happened to grow up eating Spaghetti with Ketchup. No doubt you're thinking, 'ewww," as I did when I first heard this. But it's a thing, apparently, among some orthodox Jewish families. And right or wrong, this apathetic approach to cooking, if you can even call it that, has always informed my perception of kosher restaurants. Sure, I know they've evolved since I was a kid and I know that especially here in NYC, good kosher restaurants are not the oxymoron I've long thought they were, but still... So it was during a recent lunch here with my strictly observant brother, nephews and aforementioned sister-in-law: Anyway, wound up here after our first pick, Posh Tomato, a few blocks away, was inexplicably closed. The um... ambiance, or really, total lack thereof, didn't do much to boost my confidence. But you know what??? The food turned out to be pretty tasty! Was totally into my classic 'Holy Schnitzel' Sandwich on a Baguette, topped with the works, which included hummus, tahini, Israeli salad and hot sauce. Cajun Fries were good too. Sandwiches here run $10.99 and up. Not exactly inexpensive, but I could only finish half and took the rest home. And really, I have had pricier sandwiches in this town that were far less satisfying. Sad, but true. Enjoyed the Hummus in particular, and everyone else was similarly happy with their food picks, including Wings, Shawarma, Falafel, and various Sandwiches. Service was pleasant too. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd definitely return.

    Greeting- Yes Vibe- Cool Price- Expensive (kosher) Parking- challenging BR- only one Service- fast Food The holy Toast is a chicken shnitzel with pastrami. The pastrami sucks. $12.99 Lunch special includes fries(suck) those corn starch coated fries i hate! Why! Fresh fries people! And a coke. The shnitzel is tasty thin sliced chicken cutlet with the works. It tastes just like Shnitzl down the block. Same bread and dressings. But this place looks a lot cleaner! WIGB? Maybe

    HOLY SCHNITZEL! I've been to a lot of places that served food similar to Holy Schnitzel, but none of them were particularly close to me (mostly in Manhattan). I really like HS because it's pretty authentic. When I went, I was probably the only non-Jewish person there, which really enforces the authenticity of the cuisine offered. So how it works is that you step up to the counter, order, and wait for your name to be called. If it's pickup, they'll likely just hand it over to you. Once your name is called, you can just step to the back and pick it up. The entire restaurant is centered on a no-waiter experience, where after you're done; you clean up after yourself and all. We ordered their pepper steak sandwich, which honestly was a little dry and tasteless, but their shwarma platter was golden. I had it with Israeli Salad (although this Israeli salad was not that fresh or nicely chopped), the chicken was amazing. The fries were okay, not too great. Basically - get the shwarma with better sides. Another thing I really like about HS is that they have a lot of options - their menu is loaded with American options (which I'm sure are Kosher as well) like Buffalo wings, burgers, and a massive amount of wraps and sandwiches.

    Cornflake schnitzel is amazing. As as the onion rings. The different sauces on the side make the order!

    Some of the best kosher fast-food burgers in Brooklyn. Consistently great food. My favorites: the Crispy Ranch or the Holy Guacamole Burger.

Overall it gives upscale vibe and is priced accordingly. Mostly big celebrations on weekends with very mixed crowd. Couch as a seating arrangement was not too comfortable, possibly because of half moon shape, heat was in-and- out but because of entry door in first parlor, there's a constant draft, probably feels better in warmer weather. All staff were friendly, polite and joked around at all times making it welcoming. Service was great until 2 big parties showed up and pretty much took over most service in first parlor which led to delays for the rest of us there. With that being said, our waiter remembered I asked for a bday candled dessert as soon as we sat down and it was delivered at the appropriate time. Food was good, loved tartar, black mussels with amazing sauce (wish they gave more bread for it), rack of lamb cooked to perfection (wish it was cut before plating and thickened side sauce), beef stroganoff thinly cut with flavorful mushroom sauce, steak - was delicious and cooked as requested but lacked seasoning on meat but not garnish. Avocado salad and octopus were uneventful. Drinks were good as well as desserts. Overall I'd definitely come back for dishes we loved.

The items that have really stood out to me are: -Dry fried noodles -- the flavour of this is amazing. It tastes like a zestier cousin of your typical Cantonese fried noodle dishes. The meat, veggies, and oil all come together to hug the hand-pulled noodles in an addictive way. -Fried Eggplant with Sweet Tomatoes -- I don't know how they do it, but the eggplant stays crispy, even if it's in a takeaway order. This dish is by far their stand-out dish. Everything tastes fresh and light. -The Moroccan Tea -- really special tea that has a ton of fruits infused in it that give it a natural sweetness that you don't feel guilty about. The items that were meh are: -The chicken wontons -- just meh. The meat was a little dry. The "spicy sauce" on top didn't really add much. -Cumin Lamb -- the meat was a bit dryer than expected, and I wanted more of a cumin punch. I've now gotten takeout from here a bunch of times, and had in-house dining once. All experiences have been positive, with a few reservations/notes: - They have a cash and a credit card option for payment, but they don't know how to do math. Every time I've paid with cash, they either take all of it, or they run around the store like a chicken with its head cut off, looking for it. The last instance, they went into the donation bucket to retrieve dollar bills...maybe as a positive, they always round up when giving you change. Very strange. -The Moroccan tea is REALLY expensive; each cup was $15 which is the price of a cocktail. I guess it's worth it for the fresh ingredients, but I saw other tables that had whole pots and it seemed like we were tricked with paying the price of two mini ones. All in all, I'd come here again, but just to stick to my go-to dishes.
