Balaboosta - New York

The food we had at this restaurant was amazing! We tried the octopus salad, Israeli street fair (delicious!) and the skirt steak. The flavors were spot on! Our server wasn't the most attentive or friendliest, but it didn't affect our overall experience. We are looking forward to returning!

This restaurant is truly delightful. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was well-designed, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The unique dishes added an interesting touch, especially the pasta dish that I had never tasted anything like before. I have already recommended this place to several people and am excited to try the other restaurants associated with Balaboosta.

Absolutely incredible. The food was expertly crafted and delicious. I tried a variety of dishes and enjoyed every single one. The service was top-notch, with the hostess, servers, and bussers all being very attentive and accommodating. It was a busy night, but the staff were still incredibly efficient and knowledgeable. I will definitely be returning, thanks to Rachel for such an amazing experience.

Incredible food. The hummus was a religious experience along with the rectangle pita wedges. The fried olives and sesame ‘bagel were also stars. The highlight was the crispy cauliflower. Great attentive staff. We were seated right away. Vegan options available.

Absolutely loved our dining experience at their bar the other night. We sat for two and our bartender was Leah. We had some small bites to share and everything was exceptional. We loved that Our bartender knew all the dishes so well, made it easy to navigate the small (and thoughtful) menu. The mushroom dish was so satisfying. I loved the way the mushrooms were grilled perfection and served with all those delicious additions as garnish. We didn’t have a full meal but we tried a number of things. I recommend going here with people who would be willing to do the same. This is a great date night/ intimate dinner spot to order multiple things and share because I can’t imagine having one or two and being satisfied. The soup dumplings were amazing. Delicious eggplant dish and ceviche was well. Portion sizes are small for almost everything we ordered so be mindful if you are super hungry or looking for a big plate/meal.
