Popped in for Lunch on Sunday and was seated right away with a highchair. I was dining alone with my toddler but was greeted by friendly staff that make us feel welcomed. We ordered the falafel platter with veggies and dips and a chicken kabob plate. Everything was very fresh and delicious. While I was there I witnessed the bartender come out from behind the bar to assist an elderly guest who was struggling to remove his coat- such a beautiful and simple gesture of hospitality! Thank you for the yummy lunch and the kindness from each person who came to our table.

We went to Meme for brunch, almost accidentally, after being shut out of our first choice and in a bit of a rush before a Sunday matinee. What excellent luck for us! The food was excellent, the service speedy and nice, the space lovely and not too loud, and the atmosphere convivial. We’ll definitely be back on purpose!

Food was incredibly expensive and not tasty at all. At least either be cheap or good. A small vegetarian tapas plate was $18 and had no flavor. Wouldn’t recommend

This is by far the worst service I have ever experienced.
I am in the service industry myself and have been for more than 20 years. I go out to eat frequently and this was awful……TERRIBLE!!
My friends and I went there last night to celebrate one of the girl’s birthday. We got seated at a table with 4 chairs. We got seated outside. The restaurant was half empty. The birthday friend was running late due to train delays. The server (with the match stick earrings) can over to us after 10 mins. We ordered and appetizer while waiting for our friend. She asked us when is our friend arriving. I said she was on her way. She leaves the table. Then she comes back and tells us if our friend doesn’t arrive in the next 15-20 mins she will move us to another small table in the corner with only 2 seats. She said they had reservations coming. I said she is on the way. She takes off without any comment.
Finally our friend arrived in the next few minutes. We had to wave for service. We ordered more food. She didn’t even explain the menu or if they had any recommendations or specials. They never came over to ask how was the food or if we needed anything. We had to wave them down every time.
When we were done we had to ask for the check. She comes over with the hand held credit card machine.
We left close to closing time and there were not any reservations that needed a 4 chair table. There was a lot of empty tables inside and outside. The could have easily moved the other 2 chair seated tables together if needed. The pressure of us having to rush eating and felt we needed to hurry and leave was terrible. The food was not very good as well. We did not enjoy the whole experience. That was our first time there. We will never go back there again.
I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.
The food is not this good. The pita bread was cold and hard. The combination platter was not very good. The portions were very small we had to order 2 of them. Not worth the price you pay. There are so many good restaurants in the city with much better foods and potions.

Went here for brunch as I was craving shakshouka but I have to say that I was a little disappointed. Serving was generous but the sauce was minimal and not overly tasty. I also didn’t like the pita served with it and would have preferred toast. We also had a share plate of dips and falafel. The falafel was very tasty. The service was satisfactory and I liked being able to sit outdoors. I would recommend it, but I’m not sure I would go again - unless perhaps to try some other dishes , as the food coming out for lunch looked good.

Disappointing experience. Came with a party of 3 — I was the only one drinking and asked for my wine to be charged separately(mind you I got a bottle). Still, 20% gratuity was automatically added to both my food and wine tabs. Their menu only mentions auto-gratuity for parties of 6+, so this felt sneaky. When I questioned the auto gratuity on the wine, the server scoffed and said, “Because you’re being served,” even though I poured most of it myself. Worse, I overheard him talking badly about me in the restroom. Totally unprofessional. We were considering coming back for brunch, but after this? Definitely not. A 10% discount text was received afterward doesn’t make up for being disrespected. Won’t return, and can’t recommend.

This is very racist place depends how you look you are inside and I will talk you all why? I just stop today like 4 pm seem I see people there eating I said let myself to have a table and try .. I live in the area many years let’s try this one... the first sentence by Jose idk if he's real name but I took i picture of him he said I can't. Because that’s not the clothes to go in and my availability to talk probably i speak in English .. I'm Latino very proud from Venezuela I work at the post office and I am a membet at National guard reserve and this is the treatment I have cause I'm Latino ... from another Latino .... No way .. and no more about this place in Hell's Kitchen
Been here several times in the past two years. Food quality has been consistent. Services are always good. I would say this is a solid spot for Times Square area. I’m a 11 years New Yorker and I hate TSQ lol, but if I’m in the neighborhood for Broadway show, this is my go to. (The pan fried salmon with saffron rice is my all time favorite)

One day I had their baked meatballs ($18.00), which were satisfactory. On a different day I tried their meze combination platter ($26), which I expected a lot better of. They offer a pleasant sidewalk dining area. On a Sunday I ordered their hummus topped with lamb. The menu did not state that the chopped lamb topping was spicy, which it was. I did not enjoy it because of the spicy lamb topping. I followed that with the lamb burger, it was not spicy because it had virtually no flavor, and was dry. Although the hamburger was about an eighth of an inch thick, it was not cooked the way i ordered it, medium.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The food here is absolutely amazing! I had the couscous with chicken and lamb, and my husband ordered the tagine—both dishes were full of flavor and cooked to perfection. For our appetizer, we had the hummus topped with ground lamb, and it was delicious. We finished with the apricot bread pudding for dessert, which was incredibly soft and melted in our mouths—it even felt like it was made with babka bread. Everything from start to finish was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Nice and cute neighborhood Mediterranean spot. Overpriced for the quality of food and service but good if you want to try out tagines.

The food was really good- the gnocchi was exceptional. Kenny was very helpful throughout and his service made the experience even more fantastic. Went on Valentine’s
