Shalel Lounge - New York

We hadn't been here in a few years, but the experience is the same. The Mediterranean selections were excellent. Everything from the wine to the desserts. Plenty of assistance is offered in describing foods and wines. I had the bronzino; the seasoning was amazing. The atmosphere is also very unique, private tables in the nooks and crannies of this romantic cave-like cellar. A great all-around experience.

The atmosphere in this mediterranean restaurant is very nice and melow. The place is designed as a maze which creates isolated tables throughout the place which is pretty cool. We had a light mezzas dinner. We had the Moroccan lamb cigars which were great. The halummi and cauliflower mezza is also nice but there were only 3 pieces of cheese in it. The cold mezza plate was just ok (other mediterranean restaurants in the neighborhood are doing a better job with these types of spreads). The chocolate caramel cake dessert was actually very very good and we enjoyed it a lot.

The food and ambiance were amazing. The service was great. Highly recommend a reservation

The experience at this beautiful and mysterious little hidden gem was impeccable. The food at this Mediterranean restaurant was truly lick your plate worthy. The ambiance is sexy, moody, private and intimate. The staff was sweet. Definitely would visit again and recommend to friends. Everything was great, but my top recommendations of the night were both the pizza and Mediterranean spreads for starters, branzino for entree, and ekmek kataif for dessert.

This place is a real hidden jam in Upper West Side. I didn’t know it existed, but I was invited here for dinner, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for something authentic and unusual. They serve Moroccan and Mediterranean food and have a good wine list. We took a couple of different dishes because the menu looked great, and we wanted to try them all. The food and service were great. Employees are very kind and will ensure that you have a good experience there. Anyway, if you want something unique and different, this is the place.
