Big fan of this place that is quickly becoming a rotational fav. I've been coming here since they opened last year and have made it a point to enjoy many a midday lunch, plus after work drinks in their vinyl forward side bar, and now dinners. Everything is delicious. I will say BRING BACK THE SAC DE COQ! It's my favorite salad with rotisserie chicken and heard it's no more. Sad Alicia showed up on Thursday once I heard that. I loved it! But there are so many other great dishes, tho, the fish shawarma in its place doesn't hold a candle to it. Love the burnt potato, lamb kebab, hummus from the gods, and those cucumbers with the EVOO and sea salt flakes are the perfect to the dips. So many good choices! I love it here! The ambiance with the DJs is super fun too. One other critique, the wine pours in the super bulby glasses look like you're only getting a tasting size portion - not the best... But I'll be back. Also, bring back lunch!

If you are only in NYC for the weekend you have to stop here. The food was next level. The drinks were unique. The desserts were transcendent. And the ambience was delightful. The only fault I could report is that the tables are small and close together. But this is on par for NYC. I have recommended this location to 3 different groups of friends and they all echoed my same experience: "they loved every second and would definitely come back!

A Tel-Aviv favorite found its way to New York City and makes me remember Saturday nights in jam packed Port Sa'id trying to find a table... The NY port Said is a bit more of a party scene with a DJ in the evenings - or at least on a Wednesday evening. I stopped by with a couple of people and I wanted them to experience the modern twist on middle eastern food. Absolute yes: fish shawarma, full lubina, eggplant with cheese, malabi Softer yes: the potato, ricotta pepper toast, hummus, tiramisu Not recommended: beet carpaccio, NY steak strips, Basque cheesecake Overall, I love the Tel Aviv port said more... but this will do. I will say this is NOT the place if you want to catch up with someone - it is pretty loud with the DJ!

What a wonderful meal and a great experience! Port Sa'id has been on my list for a while and finally got there. So glad that I did. The food fully expresses the flavors of the eastern Mediterranean. The food, cocktails and service were excellent. Will be back (soon)!

This place is an absolute PARTY when it gets late. Port Sa'id is an Israeli restaurant from Eyal Shani and if you've been to his restaurants, you sort of know what you're getting into. The menu is written humorously with jokes and quips but the food is fairly standard and simple. Expect lots of parsley and lemon. The favorite thing I ordered was probably the lubina chrome (served with a burning herb). What surprised us was when the servers started wheeling and dealing free shots for the various diners. The restaurant features a DJ spinning tunes and at one point, some diners elected to start dancing on their chairs. It's a fun spot. While I wouldn't recommend this spot if you're looking for some calm, I think this is a great choice before a night out.

This was the first time I tried Israeli cuisine and I absolutely loved it!! My friend and I just walked in on a Saturday evening for early dinner and we got lucky to get in without reservations. This place offers small plates and has a lot of options to select from. We ordered 4 Spicy instruments (our fav. Dish!), charred beetroot carpaccio, hummus, and Avocado Bruschetta. Everything was so so good, I am still dreaming about it. My least favorite dish was the beetroot one only because the beetroot's sweetness was very overpowering. The Spicy Instruments was really spicy, but we just couldn't stop eating it. The hummus was very fresh. We noticed that Israeli cuisine does not have a lot of pita breads but rather they serve most dishes with sourdough bread (which was again very fresh!) We also ordered an espresso and Mint Tea along with our meal and it was just perfect. Port Sa'id is a place where the flavors of the Mediterranean live in harmony with rich sounds from around the world. Do not miss out their huge vinyl record collection. They have amazing DJs play almost every evening and they even update their menu to share the details of the DJ who will be playing that particular night. I think that's an amazing touch and I haven't seen a lot of places do that. I will recommend Port Sa'id 100% for their hospitality, food, good vibes, and good music!

We were craving a visit for this place and we finally had a chance to give it a try on a Wednesday lunch time We walked in around 12 and the place was pretty empty - we ordered the hummus sa'id which was not great (a bit bland ) and the chicken liver which was exceptional . The lever dish arrived on a bed of green onion , potatos and tahini and was large and yummy - highly recommended Service was great and we can tell that the evenings in this place is probably a blast - they had a gigantic DJ stand ready to go! We will come back again to try more dishes !

I've heard good things about this place and we were able to get a 5:30pm reservation on a Friday the day before. Food 10/10: Their focus is on fresh ingredients and I can say you definitely can tell! Everything tasted so fresh and nothing was greasy. The food was actually so good and my favorite dish was the shushka peppers with the bruschetta. The waitress recommended we get 6 plates for a table of three and really emphasized that the plates were small. We ordered 7 plates but we were ready to tap out at 5, so the portions were bigger than what we had expected. The must gets are the babka, hummus, and the shushka peppers! Vibes 6/10: The waitress was nice but we were really thrown off when she sat down at our table to explain the menu. When she sat down suddenly, we were really surprised and slightly uncomfortable. They also forgot to put in our last order so we were waiting for our last dish for a while. Overall I would come back for the food!

Food 8/10 The bone marrow was really good. Pricing was solid for the amount of bone marrow we got. The asparagus was drenched in butter, so it was very flavorful, but a little too fatty for me. The lamp was a lot smaller than I thought, and the four spices bread dip was interesting, but it wasn't as spicy as I thought. Atmosphere 7/10 Very large interior. Bustling and very lively, even on a Tuesday night. There's a cool DJ set area and beautiful, very high ceilings too. Sitting at the bar was a little tight, but it was fine. Service 7/10 Good service, a little slow on taking away plates though.
