“Very classy place to conduct a business dinner and the food is great and plentiful. I had a business dinner meeting here and was 100 percent happy with the surroundings as well as the service and food. The sushi was first class as were the specialties“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“Casual, friendly atmosphere,eclectic menu, looking forward to my next visit“

“The best Albanian food in NY😋👌“

“interior was. ute, service was great and the food was amazing. they actually live up to the hype and it has now easily become a fave restaurant of mine! the mackerel toast was top tier and that’s coming from someone that doesn’t eat mackerel like that.

we also enjoyed the black miso cod a lot. it was very soft and had a nice smokey flavor when you’re taking a bite. highly recommend ordering it.

the hiramasa was also a favorite. the flavor profile was 10/10 but i wish they gave more slices of fish cause 4 pieces feels like JAIL. minimum should be 6 imo

we got the chicken and their striped bass special as well and while those are good i think they’re not MUST orders though still very delicious. my top 3 would be mackerel toast, hiramasa and the black cod“

“We came here on a Sunday early afternoon and had one of our best recent dining experience. We live close by so we went in hoping it would be a gem and it absolutely didnt dissappoint. The garlic naan might just be the best we’ve ever had. The mussels were very fresh and not sure if it’s the season but the flesh was super fat. The sauce it was cooked in was also very very good. Dipping the naan in that sauce was straight heaven. We also ordered the rotisserie chicken, which we thought was a bit pricey at first but man, it was cooked to absolute perfection. Crispy skin, JUICY all throughout, with grilled lemons and a decent sauce. The service was also phenomenal. Our server had great energy, and provided us the perfect balance of attentiveness and space.
The vibe of this place is also top notch. The modest exterior is only hiding the spaceous, modern, and elegant interior.
Overall, we could not be more thrilled about this find and will definitely be coming back to try their drinks and sea bass dish! Highly recommended for an absolute treat.“

“Amazing food and warm, friendly staff.“

“Came here for brunch a couple weeks ago and loved everything about it. The food was delicious, portion sizes large and quick service. I will for sure be back to try the entire dip offering but truly you’re not going to go wrong with whatever you order here.“

“Cozy atmosphere and fine dining“

“Delicious food and cocktails“

“Melissa and James create soul food with modern twist -- with big flavors! I visited P&C multiple times already, with family, friends and work colleagues and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to eat modern American with a lot of love. 🍷🍸🍹Their cocktails are equally amazing and delicious, they also have a fantastic wine selection and their freshly baked Pita is a MUST! Please do go and visit P&C to also support the local restaurant community -- they deserve it! 🥰🍾🥙“

“Everything was great! The lamb chops are fantastic!“

“This is gem of a restaurant in west harlem. Chicken with hummus is exceptional comes with huge tasty bread rating 4/5…,.,Lamb with rice is just okay 3/5..,,Potato veggies also 3/5

Adani chai 4/5.,,, black tea with cardamom and mint is good too.

Yemini rice is just okay, I believe Indian biryani is far superior!

Service is good here. For the high prices they charge surprise to see plastic plates and plastic utensils 😊

Fasha(spelling) is also one item our waiter recommended. Stew with meat, comes with huge bread.“

“Part of me wants to guard this restaurant's excellence. These dishes maintain presence in memory. Staff delivered our order promptly and politely. We look forward to catching up with people here. I've expressed what's important.“

“Best Turkish place in the city!“

“Every dish exudes the flavor of sunshine and sea breeze, and the soul of the Mediterranean is perfectly presented!😄😄“

“Nice Mediterranean spot, might want a reservation as it is a bit small. Excellent dessert selections and pastries. We enjoyed the calamari, hummus, and the mixed grill and decided the lamb chops were the best part. All of it was delicious but I would order just lamb chops next time, the mixed grill is a nice way to try several meats. The hummus and pita were very good as was the calamari and the sauce it was served with was very nice as well.“

“Acadia is my go to today, when meeting with friends from past employment. You want ease, reliability and comfort in equal balance. I'm so happy knowing that my friends feel Acadia is such a able venue. And the wait-staff feels as friendly as those with whom I am reconnecting. Thanks!“

“We had the pleasure of dining in your restaurant last week, We instantly loved the mediterranean style atmosphere of your place. We had the best server we could have asked for named, Martina, she was friendly and had a great sense of humor, Her menu knowledge was excellent, She recommended the Duck and Short Ribs, which were excellent. Full of flavor. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience with great food and nice, friendly staff. Lloyd Hartford“

“Good food, great service“

“Delicious and friendly. Been coming here for years and bringing friends who visit from out of town.“

“This is a great find. Their lunch special is a real value with excellent food and service. Restaurant decor is very pleasant and not noisy you can enjoy your food and talk to your friends in a very relaxed and fun atmosphere. I just chose it randomly and very glad we did.“

“I’m glad I got to try this restaurant. Located right next to the S train, Hart’s is a seafood, olive oil, simple menu focused eatery.

I appreciated the quality of the olive oil and the bread. The lamb burger was pretty damn good too. The tomato salad was one of the best I’ve had. A bit too pricey for the food and quantity, but hey, I’d come back again.“

“Hands down the best Persian restaurant in NYC. Forget Sofreh, you want real Persian food? Come to noosh. It’s a mom and pop shop with an amazing outdoor space, specialty cocktails and best part? Normal prices. Their Fasanjoon is out of this world. Literally the best I’ve had. Their sabzi is incredible, the Shiraz salad is as good as it gets with the freshest veggies and the koobideh kebab is amazing. What are you doing with your life if you haven’t been here?“

“Family owned and delicious Mediterranean food. Friendly service.“

“I love Mediterranean food. When I went to Cinar, I was so impressed with the food and service. Absolutely authentic flavors, and the hummus and chicken kebab were bursting with flavors and lip-smacklingly delicious!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!“

“The BEST place - I always order the 4 options of amazing tapas dips/ spreads with pita. Perfect when having people over, and always a hit at a potluck party. (And surprisingly affordable!!!) The atmosphere is romantic/ fun and yet still easy and casual.“

“Came here for $40 bottomless brunch on a Sunday morning at around 11:30. It was a divine experience all around. Incredible food, great atmosphere, quick and attentive service. I ordered the Mediterranean breakfast and my friend got the Mediterranean breakfast pizza both of which were delicious and we would order again. The bottomless brunch comes with 1 entree included and unlimited choice of mimosas, beer, sangria, and Bellini and I think it’s a good bang for your buck. We each got four mimosas in the 90 minutes the brunch lasts. We can’t wait to go again.“

“The Most Authentic Egyptian Food in NYC
If you’re looking for REAL Egyptian flavor, you have to try Falafel Bites in Brooklyn! I just went, and honestly… this is the closest taste to home I’ve had in the U.S. Every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and made with true Egyptian soul.

The falafel was perfectly crispy, the koshary tasted exactly like downtown Cairo, and the tahini sauce was on another level. The staff were so warm and welcoming, specially cherry it felt like visiting family.

I’m telling you — this is the best Egyptian restaurant in New York, hands down. If you want authentic Egyptian food that brings you back to the streets of Cairo and Alexandria, this is the place. Highly recommended! 🌟🇪🇬“

“Amazing food and very friendly! Our waiter was a hoot and made the atmosphere even more entertaining and inviting. Thanks for showing this Tennessee gal- your Mediterranean ways 🤤😄“

“I have been to Malka several times since their Dumbo location opened and each experience was amazing. The food is fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Good vibes all around -- highly recommend whether you're going out just for drinks or a whole meal.“

“This place is small but mighty! The food is absolutely amazing. I drove 35 minutes to get here, and let me tell you—it did not disappoint. Every bite hit all the right taste buds and more. The owner is so friendly and welcoming, and everything is fresh, balanced, and healthy. If eating like this is what it takes to lose weight, I’m definitely going to hit my goals!“

“Comfortable. Clean. Friendly staff. Good service.“

“We had a fiftieth birthday party here for two twin brothers. The patio out back is beautiful. The food was great and the waitstaff is wonderful. This is practically its own institution in Floral Park.“

“This is such a cozy place where you can really enjoy a good conversation — and the food is absolutely spectacular. Every dish is bursting with flavor, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The service is warm, friendly, and truly makes you feel at home.
Definitely a spot I’ll come back to again and again. Highly recommended!“

“Best Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant in nyc. You have to try it.“

“Our dinner was fantastic with Wancin , our server leading the way along with the cohesive kitchen which was entertaining to watch. We sat at the bar and Wancin made so many combination of cocktails. She was handling the busy crowd so well, she made our night memorable! Along with the view of the bridge and the city added to the overall ambiance. We will back to visit when we are back in the city from California.“

“Love this place so much. Love their Mexican food a lot the tacos, quesadillas, and burritos just name it. Everything here is a straight ten outta ten so far even though I haven’t tried the Mediterranean food yet such as shawarmas and what not. But once again their Mexican food is so good especially if you want 100% halal definitely come here at “Fatimas Grill”.“

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience at this restaurant. The food was spectacular. I will dream about it. Service was prompt and polite. Best middle eastern food I have had in a long time. If you are in the area, you must stop by. It’s worth it!“

“Amizigh Food Truck was hired for our company picnic and everyone loved the food! They had a staff of 3 friendly workers and the line moved fast. I had a combination Moroccan chicken, Shawarma, and Falafel combination bowl that was so good! The burritos also looked great, as did the vegetarian options. So glad my company chose them!“

“I recently visited Mira Mediterranean & Hookah Lounge and had a great experience. The ambiance was relaxing with a nice vibe, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, and the hookah quality was smooth and enjoyable. Overall, it’s a comfortable place to unwind with good service and a pleasant atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.“
