“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“

“The best Albanian food in NY😋👌“

“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.“

“Amazing food and warm, friendly staff.“

“Cozy atmosphere and fine dining“

“Delicious food and cocktails“

“Tried Sultan Mediterranean after finding a BOGO deal online and honestly… such a good spot for a fun night out with friends. The drinks were flowing (we had about 6 altogether 😭) and everything we ordered kept getting better. The Hot Blooded cocktail was one of my favorites, the mojitos were super flavorful, and the espresso martini was perfectly balanced.

For appetizers, the grilled calamari completely surprised me in the best way, the buffalo wings were actually REALLY good, and the shrimp with roasted garlic + toast was insanely appetizing. Portions were generous too, so you definitely get a lot for your buck. I’ve also had their falafel before and it’s so good it’ll genuinely make you question if there’s meat in it 😂

Overall, great vibes, tasty Mediterranean food, strong drinks, and a really good time with friends. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.“

“Arriving when it opens, you’ll likely get to sit down immediately at the bar. I’d say it’s a nice place for an evening out but it can be loud, the bar area is very busy and it’s really tight. The food is amazing so we would go back but just with reservations next time.“

“The staff was very helpful and the dishes were amazing“

“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! 🥰🍾🥙“

Service was warm and quick — friendly staff who explained the dishes and kept everything flowing smoothly. Atmosphere is cozy and casual: simple décor with welcoming vibes, great for a relaxed meal.
Perfect authentic Yemeni spot — great value and generous portions. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Middle Eastern comfort food in the city!“

“Hart’s has been one of my go to restaurants in the past couple of years. Love both of their sister restaurants in Manahattan. Food is always amazing and service is excellent. Their clam toast is delicious and their sharing plates are some of my favorite in NYC.“

“I came here with my family, we were a party of 15 people! The service was great - thank you Noya and all the other staff! The food was delicious and the vibes were vibing!
The timing of everything was great, the staff came around often but we’re not overbearing at all, it was the perfect balance of coming around when we needed them and giving us our space to enjoy ourselves. Definitely worth every penny. My family is very picky and not one complaint.“

“Stumbled into this place this afternoon and had easily one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. I can’t believe how delish the chicken schnitzel was and I’ve walked by this place so many times. Such a cute spot and the food really was that good.“

“I knew nothing about Bosnian food but once you enter this place you know it is the real deal. All customers but us were speaking their local language, which is the strongest indicator the place is legit. We had a banquet comprised of stuffed green peppers, meat cevapi (small ground beef skewers), spinach burek, Greek salad, and drink their national cola. If you can abstract the simple environment, you are in for a treat! The pita bread was among the best I ever had.“

“We’ve been loyal takeout customers for a long time, but dining in at Cinar was a completely different experience—in the best way. The atmosphere is refined and inviting, the service was attentive and professional, and the food was genuinely exceptional. A flawless 5-star experience across the board. We will absolutely be returning to dine in again and again.“

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

“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.“

“I’ve been in the restaurant industry for 6 years and have eaten at countless places, and rarely am I ever impressed. However this place blew me away. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful to the point I kept eating way after I was full. The service was also incredible and the staff was super sweet! The prices were also great. I’m unfortunately from NC but i would drive all the way back to eat from here again.“

“We had a great experience at Dar. The lamb was incredibly tender and literally fell off the bone, making it one of the highlights of the meal. The lentil soup was also very tasty—rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The paella was excellent as well, perfectly cooked and very satisfying.

Our server, Cece, was attentive, friendly, and helpful throughout the meal, which made the experience even better. The service overall was great, and everything came out in a timely manner. I would definitely come back again for both the food and the service.“

“I went to Ella Social for the first time on Friday, December 19, 2025. The food was superbly seasoned and delicious! The service was top notch and the ambience was great.“

“Ali is the greatest server! The food was incredible. The drinks were on point! Will definitely be back.“

“Yasmine made my experience so seamless and was very polite when taking my order. She took prepared my food quickly and made sure to ask about dietary restrictions and allergies. This is by far the best Cava location in midtown in terms of service and food.“

“food was simply delicious and well served👍❤️❤️❤️ the stuff was amazingly friendly and professional❤️❤️❤️will definitely go back there❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐“

“Fresh and nice food , and I am a chef ... I was looking for healthy choices at late night and I am very happy now that I found this place.. finally, fresh healthy food at least night and at a reasonable price and generous portions.
Thanks Marcos!!!!!!“

“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.“

“My favorite spot in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. Made with love. Absolutely delicious food, and everything tastes as if it’s homemade. I truly appreciate the staff too — everyone is always very welcoming. Thank you for all that you do, Dar 525!“

“We had a very tasty and satisfying small dinner which consisted of an appetizer of perfectly spiced lamb sambousek with a chicken shawarma wrap split between us. The one chicken sandwich was ample and more than enough food for both of us.

Our waitress Marcela was very elegant and explained all of our questions about the portion sizes, ingredients, etc. She was very accommodating, bringing sauces like gatlic yogurt sauce and red chili sauce to complement what we ate.

I thought the decor was very tasteful and calming with beautiful muted colors and Middle Eastern touches.“

“The food is good and service is excellent. We had the price fixe“

“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!“
