We start w/ Hummus, Labaneh and Green Tahini which is amazing appetizer options. Then I order Shakshuka Merguez, divine, and husband order BLT Khachapuri. Excellent attendance.
Karen KangFebruary 10, 2018
Mezze was delicious. HUMMUS, don’t leave without ordering it - it’s a must. Also had the spicy feta and eggplant - delicious. Eat the eggplant and spicy feta together on the flatbread.

Excellent food! Get the Hamachi crudo, eggplant, crazy feta, baboon sea bass and Sali for dessert. Appreciated the well curated Israeli music and the nicely crafted cocktails!

The wait staff is excellent. The food is pretty good (nothing to write home about). I very much enjoy the boozy brunch here. Good deal ($20 for bottomless brunch), good crowd & great atmosphere.

Good place for brunch and for dinner! Spicy feta is a must! For dinner I would strongly recommend the octopus as a starter, the salmon as the main course and the "silan" for dessert!
Michael Fox-RabinovitzMarch 22, 2016
Pleasant decor and atmosphere. Great octopus and humus, as well and house bread. Decent salmon tartar. Lamb dish not too exciting, although interesting presentation
Patrick BaskinJanuary 16, 2018
Beautiful ambience, lovely service, and great spot for dinner or brunch (get the shakshouka!)
Ms HeleneAugust 11, 2016
Creative & traditional Greek mezze to share-3 dips $20 (taramosalata best), fried artichokes with spicy aioli 5 pieces $15, saganaki flambé & best Greek salad. Skip fried cauliflower $13. Buzzy spot.

“Stylish” & “upbeat”, this “cacophonous” Flatiron Med lures “see-and-be-seen” “Gen-X” types with a “tasty”, “something-for-everyone” menu, replete with vaulted ceilings – that’s the star of the show.
Elvis RodricksAugust 25, 2019
Great trendy spot to catch drinks and food... attractive ambience. Probably the best hummus in the city .... their tres leches is an absolute!
Lisa FinnOctober 17, 2014
With how amazing the mezze and appetizer menu is, I could enjoy an entire meal of just starters here and be more than content. The Iron Skillet Shrimp were perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor.
Percy HolmesJanuary 23, 2019
Amazing brunch! The food is amazing and the presentation is top notch. I would definitely recommend that you call ahead and make a reservation.

Must order the spicy feta and iron skillet shrimp for appetizers! Must order lamb terracota for main course. Brunches are unlimited champagne for $18!
Autumn ChoiJuly 23, 2022
Great service, recommend the mezza and all the apps! Decent wine menu by the glass and a few unique cocktails. Outdoor roadside seating available as inside gets a bit loud
Yesenia VélezOctober 16, 2013
Eggplant and Hummus w/ bread made in Brick Oven fantastic! Scallops are small portion but is deli! If you are very hungry try the Steak or the Halibut! Dessert: Apple Vignette and vanilla gelato!*****
honeywhatscooking.comFebruary 16, 2016
The trio of mezzes was delicious with the Rosemary bread. Get the Hummus, Roasted Eggplant and Spicy Feta! Branzino was okay, not enough flavor, a good health choice tho. Lamb Kebabs were okay for me.
Halstead PropertyJuly 10, 2013
Pure pleasure in the first bite of the night – the humus and spicy feta dips are brilliantly spiced with a consistency that goes just right with the thick bread served straight out of the wood-oven.
Josephine SonAugust 11, 2014
Went with a vegan friend, so needed a place with options for us both. Ended up having my first vegan meal...hummus, falafel, tomato salad, fried cauliflower, and def get the bread!

Aside from the bathrooms, super baby-friendly with crayons, a yogurt bowl loaded with fresh fruit and even a waiter that poured water directly into her sippy cup with a smile.
Lindsay CaitlinNovember 21, 2014
best happy hour I've been to. Drinks are out of this world (get the Jalisco) and the hummus and bread are made fresh.
Kathy MatthiesenSeptember 15, 2015
Solid bread basket, lots of egg options, unlimited champagne cocktails for $20 - what more can you ask for? I got the crab Benedict which was amazing, but very rich!
Anna RMay 14, 2015
The lamb sausage, grilled octopus, and the mortadella and broccolini pizza was delishi. Great for groups or a table for 2.
Fred CaminoApril 20, 2015
A hidden gem: a Cheesecake Factory knockoff in the heart of Manhattan. Loud, obnoxious, gaudy and loud again. The food is actually quite good though. Get the Turkish Eggs.
Donna ChunDecember 9, 2012
Salads are big, split a chopped salad and try the Halibut which was cooked to perfection. Save room for pistachio white Chocolate cheesecake - so good doesn't begin to describe flavor and richness

One of the best brunch places in NYC (and sure to impress a ladyfriend), go here on the weekend for bottomless mimosas. PRO TIP: Bring your glass to the bar after you eat to keep the drinking going.
The Corcoran GroupJuly 10, 2013
A great Mediterranean style restaurant with an $19 unlimited champagne add on deal at brunch. Reservations are a must.
Sarah KimDecember 20, 2019
Solid restaurant I love frequenting. Not extraordinary, but pleasant balance of vibe, basic eats, and interior decor.
Paige CFebruary 17, 2016
Their pita sandwiches look amazing - next time I'll order that. The eggplant appetizer was so fresh. Service amazing. Come for brunch!
Elvis RodricksOctober 6, 2019
Few outdoor tables available and an intimate setting inside. Pretentious folks’ hangout spot. Branzino fish was good and here but so was their Tres Leches!
Mia AlicataApril 8, 2016
Table set up makes for waiters and other guests unapologetically bash into your chair throughout entire meal.
PureWowFebruary 23, 2016
If your brunch doesn’t include ground lamb, chickpeas, tahini and spinach (aka Turkish eggs), you’re doing it wrong. Read more

The hummus is amazing. Great happy hour deals. Gets super busy during it so get there early if you want a seat at the bar!

Great happy hour and extensive whiskey selection! Milosh is a top notch bartender! They also have aged cocktails in barrels, pretty cool
Lisa DOctober 5, 2011
Fun place to hang out in the bar and shared table area. Oder the mezze with taramosalata, spicy feta, and any other spreads you like - lovely accompaniments to a nice glass of wine or cocktail.
Kosha ShahOctober 15, 2014
Amazing place! Great happy hour deals! And the unlimited fresh right out of the oven can't even cut into bread they service is divine!
DoubleDeuceMarch 11, 2015
If you're early to brunch (be there around noon), there's plenty of space at the bar. But only if you're early, so plan like a Pro; no reservation, pick any seat you want.
Stephanie CesearMay 1, 2016
My go-to for a boozy brunch. Cheap bottomless brunch + affordable, good-sized meals! Plus they let you keep drinking at the bar until 4pm.
AllisonJanuary 6, 2019
Drinks are sooooo tasty (get the smoking fruit!!) But super pricy for not huge portions. Still delicious.
DesireéJune 1, 2021
French Toast and Mushroom Omelet. We were a big group and they said we HAVE to order for a fixed menu. We refused and asked for a full menu
Mari BFebruary 4, 2022
Food is very delicious truly. The drinks are SO expensive so a girls night out with minimal food and a bunch of drinks were $175 each. Again, tasty, but oof.

This Park Avenue Mediterranean provides a veritable smorgasbord of exciting dual-festivity offerings. For the main event: turkey thigh meat is served in a shawarma with roasted veggies,

Get the mezze with spicy feta! Favorite cocktail is the thassoloniki! The flatbread is amazing and you can't go wrong with the Greek salad!
Justin FerrantiJanuary 22, 2017
Great brunch spot with reservations through opentable, the hummus is a great starter and the Turkish eggs are divine!
Sujay ShahJune 7, 2015
Great spicy feta. Must have. Must also try the Silan dessert. One of the best desserts I've ever had anywhere.
AmateurConciergeMay 23, 2017
Elevated Mediterranean food in a grandiose setting on lower Park Ave. it's not ilili but it does the job. Spicy feta yes, spicy eggplant no.

Boozy brunch is so fun. Tell them it's your birthday and they'll blast a bday song on the speakers.
Nicolette RomeroNovember 2, 2014
A more sophisticated brunch spot. Come for the bottomless mimosas. The waiters are great at making sure your glass is always full!
Suzy TranFebruary 7, 2022
Lamb kofta was absolutely amazing. Drinks are really good too!
Kt LacasseJune 1, 2015
The ambiance makes you feel like you're not in NYC. Get the beet salad if you're going the salad route, but don't skip the pita
Jasmine BenunFebruary 20, 2013

Hummus,, burrata, seed crusted tuna are all yummy. Silan is a must for dessert along with the pomegranate rose tea. Amazeballs!
