Love this Port Sa'id! Amazing Israeli food, very authentic Israeli dishes. We absolutely loved everything we tried. Service was excellent. Would highly recommend.

To call it Port Sa’id, a beautiful location in Egypt and then try to pass it off as authentic middle eastern, cuisine is a joke. Reading some reviews comparing to Hamido is blasphemous. Middle eastern cuisine combines foods and flavors from Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria. This restaurant had none of that, reading the menu where one describes their summer in a certain location tells you all you need to know about this place. Food was sub par at best. For real middle eastern cuisine, go to Hamdio, Ayat, or Al Badawi

Not sure I am 100% sold on this ultra-trendy place packed with Millennials.
There definitely was a vibe between the DJ spinning, hustling servers, packed bar, crowded waiting area, open kitchen, crammed tables, etc.
However, we could barely hear ourselves and have a proper conversation over the extremely loud music.
My favorite part of the food was the presentation. It was so well thought out. We found the food to be either too salty, too buttery, too bland or over kill with tahini. We were a table of three and ordered based off the servers suggestions.
Hummus Gargarim (standard), Leeks (bland), Lima Beans (mush), Pencil Asparagus (butter bath), Minute Plate (spicy), Chrime Branzino (actually liked this dish but neither of my friends cared for it). We were hoping to try the eggplant but they were out of it. The dishes are served as they are finished not together as a meal.
Service was good except we had to keep asking for serving utensils.
Surprised to receive the bill with a 20% gratuity already added since we were only 3 people. However they consider that a large party.
Reservations are a must and time slot is not guaranteed. We waited an extra 20 minutes or so past our time. There were other tables who had to wait longer.
I would give the place a second try for their Jazz brunch as long as the music is at a reasonable level. They have a side listening bar which is small, intimate and seriously a great vibe with stellar cocktails. That I would give 5 stars.

Great service. The salmon I had was super fresh and delicious. Would highly recommend if you’re in the Brooklyn area.

First of all, these are ARAB DISHES. Second of all the name “port said” comes from a city in EGYPT. STOP STEALING ARAB FOOD CULTURE AND LIFE.

Amazing decor with a custom-made sound system and live DJ that sets a great vibe. The Middle Eastern sharing plates were very tasty: the beetroot carpaccio, bread salad, fresh tahini, and hummus were absolute highlights. However, the roasted sweet potato was a bit of a low light, and the meal overall lacked the final finesse for a full five stars. Still a great spot for a special night out with very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Port Said is just a really cool, well-designed spot. I ended up sitting in the side room, which somehow made it even better. Great drinks, great vibe, and the guy behind the counter was clearly on a personal mission to play the right music. Loved every minute of it.
We really liked the food- hummus, lamb kebab and steak were fantastic. However, the waiters seemed to be too busy talking between themselves and their friends to pay attention to the guests. As a result, service was mediocre at best.

I’m sure if you have been to hamido’s in Astoria this is pretty much the same thing, the fish looks really fresh and was cooked really well, try the snapper. The service here is good and the prices are fair. I would for sure come back here again and try more things on the menu.

Went here with a friend on a Thursday night. The food was excellent and the vibes were immaculate. There’s Vinyl DJ spinning records at the perfect volume to enjoy your meal while also feeling like you’re in Tel Aviv. I highly recommend the branzino which gets lit on fire. Staff and management is incredibly accommodating should you need anything. One of my favorite hidden gems in New York!
