    Place was an average Mediterranean spot. It was very busy on a Saturday night and ordered way too much food. Everything was classified as "small plates" but nothing that came out was small. I don't like when servers don't tell you that you ordered too much. It feels sneaky and deceptive. Just thinking about the food taste here, it was average and nothing was memorable.

    Like an oasis. Located on the (upper) UWS, this lovely restaurant is worth the trip. Well decorated with very attentive service. (Water glasses continually filled which is always a plus in my book). Tasty, creative dishes. Great restaurant week menu. Lots of choices and ample portions.

    We were a table of four dining for brunch and had a reservation, so we were seated right away. The restaurant was busy but not overcrowded. It felt family-friendly, with several tables of parents and kids enjoying their meals. The interior was beautiful, especially the bar area, with bright, vibrant colors that gave off a distinctly Mediterranean vibe. The menu was well-rounded, blending Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Levantine influences. I ordered the goat cheese omelette, which they kindly prepared with egg whites. It was filled with a light layer of goat cheese and baba ghanoush -- an interesting and flavorful combination, definitely more exciting than your average omelette. It came with za'atar potatoes, which were extra crispy and delicious. My husband had the halvah French toast, which he loved -- the sweet shavings on top were a great touch. Our friends ordered the chicken schnitzel and a Benedict. The schnitzel was a generous portion and came with Israeli salad and fries. Overall, I'd say the food was very good -- this is definitely one of the better Mediterranean spots on the Upper West Side. It didn't completely wow me, but everything we had was well-executed, and the flavors were bright and satisfying. Service was excellent, and our food arrived quickly, especially for a busy Saturday brunch. Would I return? Absolutely. It's a great place to bring friends or out-of-towners for a lively, flavorful brunch in a pretty setting.

    Delicious. We came here on a Saturday night with no reservation. We were quickly seated at the table and the food was so good. Hands down one of my favorite places I've eaten at all year.

    Kubaneh  French toast

    Came here for brunch yesterday and had such a good time. Definitely make reservations as it gets busy over the weekend. Really cute decor inside. Service was good, our server didn't come around as often but I didn't mind that. We got the shakshuka, kubaneh, and french toast. Everything came out promptly and tasted delicious! The bread with the shakshuka was so fluffy and seasoned well. The kubaneh was so good, just wish they served it with labneh but that's only the large portion. The French toast was the highlight - crispy around the crust. Just wish it has more strawberries. Overall great place and would definitely come back!

    A friend and I walked in on a Saturday without a reservation and were able to be seated immediately. The restaurant was pretty full so we were happy about that. The waiter was attentive by not pushy which I always appreciate. We split the Greek salad as an appetizer, it was a nice size but it was salty for some reason. I didn't add any dressing or salt to it myself. My friend had the branzino which was REALLY good. She let me taste it. :) I had the lamb which was OK, but a little tough. Overall, it was likely a 3.5 Stars for me.

    Dinner at Dagon was one of my favorite dining experiences as of late. (Speaking of late) my friend ran 30 minutes behind for our reservation and the staff still treated me very kindly as I waited at the bar for her. To eat, I started with the Caesar salad and it might have been one of the best I've ever had. Then my friend and I split the roasted beets, eggplant, and green tahina. Everything was outstanding. Every aspect of this restaurant feels well thought out from the decor to the menu to the service provided. Dagon is a wonderful dinner option for Mediterranean food a seductive setting.

    Shakshuka, comes with that delicious bread.  Very good.  2/18/26

    Lunch. Service was very good, very friendly. Larger portions. Food beautifully presented. Marinated beets. Extraordinary. Hummus. Great. Levantine "Caesar" with salmon. Terrific. Shakshuka. Very good but not as stellar as the other items. Bread served with most of these dishes - amazing. Totally loved it. Place was clean and looked nice. Mid-level on noise at lunch. Could imagine it being noisy at dinner but that is a guess. Enjoyed lunch a lot so for sure will go for dinner soon. Clean restroom on the main floor (did not use the rest rooms in the basement).

    Tasty Mediterranean food in a comfortable room The Sahara Old Fashioned was a pleasant start to the meal. We enjoyed a selection of small plates with warm flatbread. The Ginger/Silan Chicken was also good. The service was attentive.

    Gorgeous ambiance and great service. However the food was a let down. We went during the forgotten foods festival. The lamb fritter appetizer had too much dill and was not a balanced dish. The oxtail was not tender and the egg tasted strange. Wish the broth was thicker and more of a sauce. The chicken was over cooked. I appreciated the amount of olives though. The sauce was great. The bread was not the challah bread I know and was disappointing. The dessert was too sweet and the tahini left a bitter and strange taste in my mouth. As you get towards the middle with the ice cream it did get better. Overall was more excited to try this restaurant than how the food ended up tasting. At least the service was great.

    Israeli breakfast (without bagel)
    Stephanie A.

    I visited here for brunch with friends and it was an awesome spot. The ambiance and decor is beautiful; very classy yet warm. Our server was a bit snarky, but more in a dry humor way than in a rude way, which was just a bit funny. I ordered the Israeli Breakfast because I really couldn't decide what I wanted it and it basically had everything on it. It was a TON of food, and I really should have split it with someone or taken home the giant bagel, but the bagel arrived warm! The potatoes were probably a highlight, in addition to the bagel. I'll note that my eggs did not arrive as ordered (I ordered over medium, and they came over easy), but I had already started eating when I cut into them and realized, and didn't bother telling the waiter and sending them back. Just didn't seem worth the hassle when I'm not an egg person and mostly ended up leaving them anyway. We ordered table French Toast when we ordered our savory mains, and he asked us whether we wanted it as an appetizer, with our mains, or as a dessert, which was nice. However, then it seemed like he forgot to put it in because he asked us about dessert menus later before the French Toast had arrived, and it took a while to come out. But it eventually arrived and it was delicious. Would recommend. My friend claims it's the best French Toast he's ever had, but I'm not sure I'd go that far. The espresso martini was also delicious; a little twist on the traditional, but not too avant garde--basically my favorite kind of espresso martini. The prices were on the high side, but this was a nice place, with great vibes, and the quality and portion sizes were there, so it would be hard to complain too much.

    YUM!!! the bread is amazing and they give you enough to enjoy all the dips :))) love when that happens. the place is fancy so they serve your food quite slow i was quite starving but it's okay because once the dips came i filled up within 2 seconds. the presentation was gorgeous and service quite attentive. personally i found it over priced but maybe i just don't understand the cuisine enough to appreciate the value.

    Near the bar lots of options

    An Israeli IPA ? who knew ! We intended to order 5 separate entrees per normal, but the appetizers looked so enticing we couldn't help but order 4 of them, after that we weren't that hungry and only ordered 1 entree plus some wines and I had two of the excellent IPA's (look for the sloth) they let us eat everything family style and we didn't finish everything so took a little bit home for later, the portions were incredibly generous and we did not intend to eat (essentially) apps for entrees but we weren't really paying attention to how much food was coming. Anyway the bill was shockingly reasonable for a NYC dinner and us sitting for a long time. What a gem ! this place earns a "hidden gem" rating from me. Fun, wine, beer & food, family and a great price, thanks Dagon !

Even the baklava, which should be a sweet highlight, was dry, lackluster, and honestly not enjoyable. The Turkish coffee was so bitter it was almost undrinkable -- if you like bitter coffee, maybe it's your thing, but it wasn't what I expected. They market themselves as Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisine, but what I ate didn't come close to what I'd consider good food in that category. My stomach was still growling afterward -- and not in a "I want more" way, but in a "why did I eat this?" way. The staff and service were fine and the atmosphere is pretty, but at the end of the day it's just not worth it when the food itself is so underwhelming. I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for authentic or tasty Turkish/Middle Eastern food.

The chicken Adana sandwich was also quite nice. The chicken was fresh and well seasoned in a good portion with some lettuce, onions, tomatoes as well. The bread was great. It's served with two wonderful, flavorful sauces: hot sauce and yogurt sauce (I much prefer the latter). Portion is incredible for the price. Then, I was initially interested in trying the fig pudding for dessert but they were out of it, so I went with the rice pudding. Again, a huge portion that is well worth the price.

It's a pretty small restaurant but doesn't get crowded early on. They were playing some Turkish music while I ate, and I really enjoyed it.

The falafel was perfectly crisp with a slightly smoky outer crust that added really great texture and flavor. A bit dry tho -- Needed the hummus and Mezze Platter to dress it up a little. Salad was refreshing, crispy and a great palette cleanser across the table. The combo platter + mixed rice was fabulous. Chicken was tender and came right off the bone (something I'm new to but it was good!). It came with a side of tzatziki and persian zhoug (?) - a minty and herby chutney that just added another layer to the aromatics of the dish. Although the rice was great, it was a really large portion even for the group of 5. It would've been nice to have the option to split to a half portion of vegetables or different grain to balance quantity. Overall 8.9/10 - Definitely worth a visit with a group for business dinner or catching up on a friend's night out.

We could not have been happier with what we got for a place that we picked totally randomly. First of all, the place is popular and we did not have resos, but the staff were super nice and found us an open table that we could eat at as long as we put in our orders quick so they could get the table ready for a later reservation in an hour. Then the food itself arrived and was really delicious and well presented, just look at those kebab plates and dips! They also gave our group free baklava at the end I think just because they felt a little bad they had to rush us, which wasn't even their fault and was super appreciated. Also, the interior decoration is fantastic. The restaurant feels super classy and elegant. Great vibes for a date, a business dinner, or just a fancy dinner. Overall, easy 5 stars. Great food and amazing service. Oh and the wine was delicious too.
