I really enjoyed my time here!! The shakshuka was a little less flavorful than I expected (in terms of the sauce) but it was delicious nonetheless. My eggs were completely hard boiled instead of poached, which was disappointing, but it was still good. Our food took a while to come out but the waiter was personable and accommodated us immediately. The drinks were phenomenal- I had the gingerita. This is a good place to go to after work to decompress and eat. It was very quiet and spacious.

We ordered to go breakfast and they forgot the side dishes and it took them wayyy to long to cook eggs and we where the only customers there,french fries taste bad and shakshuka is very salty . disappointing...

This spot is worth visiting. They serve large portions for convenient prices. Consistently well kept and with fantastic character. Highly recommended.

The best fries around. Perfect comfort food. Love the decor too. We had a great meal here. This was the best brunch place by far. Reasonable prices.

From the moment you step in that restaurant they give you a good feeling. Very hospitable stuff, it is a lovely place to pass time with friends and colleagues or with your date. Excellent cooking, creative chef, reasonable pay and professional service. Warmly recommended.

I agree with the other reviews: good food, bad service The brunch platter comes with a tasty spread of all that makes a great israeli breakfast. If you've never tried an Israeli breakfast platter, theirs is a solid one to be your first. Just lower expectations as far as staff. I'd also pass on their shakshuka. It's usually my go to, but this one arrived all dried up, with fully hard boiled eggs - what probably started as poached eggs must have sat under a heat lamp (plus cast iron pan) far too long. We were mostly ignored throughout the meal, and had to get up repeatedly to find the waitress - to order, to ask for water, to ask why one meal came out but the rest did not, and again to ask for the bill. The manager intervened eventually but overall not worth the trouble in a town with endless dining options.

Perfect brunch spot. My gf and I walked in around 1PM on a Sunday without a reservation and were seated at the bar within 10 minutes. I had the breakfast hummus and really enjoyed all of the flavor in it. I like that the egg was marinated (in what, idk but it was delicious) and that I had the option of dipping into the green sauce or the hummus. The falafel was crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside. I would definitely come back and try the platter next time to get a bit of everything (we didn't want to be overstuffed this time around).

Travelled from London, England and staying first time in the Bowery area of the Lower East Side in New York we had been recommended a visit to Little Gio’s Pizza was a must. This must rank as the best pizza we have ever eaten anywhere in the world. Simple vibrant flavours made with quality ingredients and served with care and attention. We ordered a whole pie to share, it defeated us easily. If your in NYC it’s worth exploring this hidden gem, round the corner from 2nd Ave subway station, and a stones throw away from the famous KATS Deli

Hands down one of my favorite local brunch spots!!! Service can be a little slow, but it’s definitely worth the wait. The food is always delicious, service is great AND they sell verve coffee! Highly recommend.
Super cool restaurant in a great neighborhood. Check out Two-Wheel Tuesday's if you're into motorcycles! Big fan of the Israeli Breakfast.

I like the salad here, they made their dressing in house so it has a lot of natural flavors.

I wanted to love this place because of the atmosphere and the other food looked so good, but I just wasn't so impressed with the service and my dish (the burger). Arrived around 1PM on a Sunday and was told that it'd be about a 10-15 minute wait. We ended up waiting nearly 45 minutes, which was absurd given the original time estimate. At a certain point, I was afraid they had forgotten about us, given all the other people that they sat before us and the lack of a permanent host (or proper entrance at all). Understandable given the rush and the fact we had three people unlike the other parties of two, but it would've been nice to at least been checked in with every once in a while rather than only right before we were sat. As mentioned, I ordered the brunch burger whereas my friend ordered the challah french toast. The french toast looked delicious, and he finished the entire dish, so I'm sure it was good, but the brunch burger, not so much. Brunch burger ($17): - Patty was SO DRY. It crumbled so easily when I cut through it and was like chewing overcooked ground beef - Other toppings on burger had little flavor and didn't really add to the overall flavor of the burger together - Bread was also very dry and a little too thick, which didn't help with the dry burger situation - Fries tasted good, but were a little too crispy for my liking. That's all personal preference though I think I'd come back and try something else, because the people working were very nice and the other dishes looked so good, but I would definitely not order the burger again. Maybe I'd come back some time when it isn't so busy.

Amazing and legit Israeli food. The brunch platter of "a little bit of everything" is SO good and comes with just that - a little bit o' errythang. Be sure to brunch here soon!

Simple cafe with good Kosher food. Good place to grab a coffee when your friends want a beer.
