Best WLM Reviews
Good brunch spot. Food was pretty good just felt very oily / made me super tired after. Really really filling. Don’t underestimate the sizes. The lamb hot dish was quite good. I liked the shakahula too. The Challah was a bit stale / dry and not warm. The pitas were 3.5/5.
It’s super clean, trendy, casual on the inside. Menu has an overwhelming amount of options with no clear winner.
Service was pretty hands off. It’s a bit loud inside. Indoor and outdoor seating.
Hummus is supposedly what they are famous for. I thought it tasted more like tahini than hummus. It was almost too nutty - needed the lime mixture to balance with acidity.
About $30 pp.
Had an amazing brunch at 12 Chairs Cafe. We had the sabich, schnitzel, & falafel appetizer. Everything was authentic and tasted amazing. Totally recommend!
this is the most fun you'll have at dinner in New York City. Aside from the absolutely delicious food, the service is prompt and the atmosphere is lit. They play track after track, fantastic music that you have to get out of your seat and dance to every once in a while. They handed out Tamborines to our group which just made things even more more fun. They didn't rush us out and we had the best time. Five stars all the way for 12 chair Soho.
The Palestinian hummus and Palestinian falafel was really good, especially the Palestinian salad? Oh my goodness it was so flavourful, almost so flavourful that it felt territorial. It occupied my heart so much. I definitely recommend this if you want food that occupy your heart.
Super nice and cozy place with very tasty hummus and falafel, we came for lunch at the weekend, and there was very busy, so I recommend to book table in advance
Recommendation: get a reservation and ask to seat outside. Inside can be super crowded and tight.
The food is pretty good. We had the israelí breakfast egg shakshouka (it came with a side of salad, small dishes with halva, harissa butter, bread, pickled pepper, chickpeas and tzatziki plus a glass of juice and coffee we upgraded the coffee to capuchino) plus serving of hummus with side pita and side olives. I will get the hummus again but probably skip the shakshouka since it was salty for my taste and the eggs were too cooked.
We had multiple servers. One of them went above and beyond and the rest were not as nice.
Regardless I will probably be back.
5. So exceptional here. Service is warm and attentive. The food is packed with flavour and the portions are generous. You can’t go wrong with this menu - there is something for everyone - with many vegetarian and vegan options. The vibe is fun and the atmosphere is inviting. Great for a group with lots of options for sharing, but also lovely for an intimate dinner.
The appetizers came out quickly and the pita bread was hot. The falafel was delicious and the Israeli salad was fresh and crisp! Also highly recommend the dips and the schnitzel!
Bathroom is accessible and on the main floor.
This location does not yet have cocktails- just wine and beer (but a nice selection). Also- patio seating is available.
I was very excited to try this restaurant. I had high expectations from all the positive reviews. I found the hummus and falafel to have an authentic Israeli flavor to it. The babaganoush was not my favorite but it was fresh and tasted pretty good. The arayes was by far my favorite. They had a delicious lamb flavor and it was well made. We also tried the borek, it was something different. I was not blown away. The chicken schnitzel was ordinary. Nothing wow about it. It was mediocre. I don't think 3 stars is worthy or 4 stars for that matter. If I could rate 3.5 that's what this is. Mediocre with some wow but nothing spectacular. If I go back I'd try a different selection of foods
