Hidden gem in NYC. The foot is like home cooking All the food was Fresh and flavorful. For the appetizers the whipped feta and hummus is one of the best I have had. The cauliflower was also excellent. The brick chicken with a couscous sauce was so moist. The short ribs melted in your mouth. Definitely want to go back soon. Small but good wine collection. The Israeli red was unusually good Definite would recommend

Great first impression when we were greeted by Meredith, and later when she came by to speak with us again the deal was sealed. A very lively vibe, delicious food and cocktails, excellent service by Michael. We are coming back and bringing more friends.

Good food, great service. Docking 1 star as the fruits on the French toast didn’t taste great, but the toast itself was quality. Hummus starter was elite

Loved the Fried Olives and the Hummus. Also an eggplant app. Brisket special and the Branzini were superb

A very good middle eastern restaurant. A relatively small menu of mostly small plates and some mains meant for sharing. Everything we ate was very good especially the whipped feta and the calamari. The dipping bread was also excellent.

Food was pretty good. Service was awful - I could not even tell you who are server was. We were never asked how our food was, and whenever a plate, cutlery, or a dish was set on our table it was pretty much thrown down and the human that dropped it left immediately.

Food was very delicious but portion to price ratio was not good. $19 for 6 cauliflowers. $29 for 10 pieces of calamari, 4 small lamb belly's? $40+ for entrees. Paid nearly michelin star price for an average dinner out in NYC. Would recommend once but done after.

What a true gem of a find! Read positive reviews of this place and decided to give it a try. Well worth the visit.
We sat by the bar and were taken care of by Tom. His service was prompt and professional. Drinks were well prepared and food was delicious! Everything was well executed. Dishes were so good, we didn’t have time to take photos.
