Best Israeli Restaurants in Hudson Heights

It's always great food. We had top notch servers last night.

Lola offers a cozy atmosphere with delicious, fresh dishes that never disappoint. The real highlight, though, is bartender Marrisa, whose friendly service and skillful cocktails elevate the entire experience. She’s attentive, knowledgeable, and always ready with a recommendation, making every visit feel special.

Bustan is one of our favorite restaurants on the Upper West Side- always a pleasure. Food is fresh , delicious and well executed. The service is great and the space is comfortable, and designed .

We had exceptional service at brunch, our server went above and beyond for my friend who doesn’t drink making special mocktails and gave us many recommendations while also being super personable! We enjoyed their salad full of fresh herbs and a nice vinaigrette, the sourdough with harissa and fried eggs (thick sourdough and spicy harissa- yum), and the pita egg sandwich (cheese in this is so good and has a fresh cucumber tomato salad all in warm pita). All were great options! The only reason I did a 4 for food is due to menu availability, we tried to order two dishes the kitchen wasn’t able to make the day we went. I think they’re transitioning into a brunch from a place that was utilized for nightlife as a rooftop in a boutique hotel but their food and service are both exceptional, they just need to work out product availability and prep. Menu is Mediterranean/Israeli/tapas so very fresh and some fun and unique flavors. I will happily return as they go through their growing pains due to our service alone!:) the mimosas were also really great, I enjoyed a passionfruit and a mango option.

Just attended Shabbat - Hanukkah celebration at the Lobby. What a wonderful experience!! Great ambiance with the first hour open bar and mingling and then dinner, music and dancing. Head cheff, Neil Strauber did a wonderful job with the traditional Israeli cuisine and warm, family style inviting manner! Crispy Hanukkah latkes with sour cream and the sugared donuts were a highlight for me, but also the delicious hala bread with homemade humus and other dips, the fish and chicken schnitzel, yum!! Will definitely go again!!
