    Friday Shnitzel
    Yi X.

    Came here for brunch and was honestly impressed. Fortuna feels like a cozy neighborhood spot rather than a trendy hype place, which I really liked. The mezze are great for sharing. The roasted eggplant was incredible, and the schnitzel was the standout--thin, crispy chicken with hummus and pita, super satisfying without being heavy. Shakshuka was flavorful and came with challah instead of the usual bread. Everything tasted fresh and well thought out. Service was friendly and the backyard seating is perfect for a relaxed brunch. This is now my go-to brunch spot in the area.

    Came to order the Friday sandwich to go. The interior here is welcoming with a comfortable looking bar and well spaced tables and a backyard seating as well. The staff were welcoming and took my order in a timely manner. The Friday schnitzel sandwich was delicious! It has all the fixing of the shuk. If your looking for some delicious food come give them a try

    This place is so good and fresh that I want to gatekeep it. You MUST get the hummus. I recommend the mushroom one. You can tell they use quality ingredients and is run by a family who's from the region. The sauces are also delicious and range from nonspicy to spicy so everyone has something they can eat. You can even ask for some to go :)

    What a gem reasonable find! Friend and I got a hummus, sandwich, and falafel side to share and end up paying a little over $30pp. - mushroom hummus: extremely creamy, do NOT skimp put on it. - snitczel sandwich: huge, comes in amazing challah bread and goes great with all the sauces they provide you with - falafel: the best vegetarian chicken nugget cravings, just the right bite size and delicious with their red sauce Lastly, the best is their server/bartender. They really took pride in the noms they serve. They also made the experience really fun. The restaurant also has a cute patio in the back, great for small parties. The indoor is also super cute.

    Great lunch spot to walk in if you're craving mediterranean food - liked all the plate options which give you your main dish as well as the sides

    Mushroom Hummus
    Jasmine B.

    The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and quick. The matbucha and eggplant dips were delicious and tasted like being in someone's home in Israel. My husband had the schnitzel sandwich and loved it too. The mushroom hummus was good too but a little different than I'm used to with the mushrooms kind of roasted instead of sautéed with onion and oil.

    Fortuna's Spicy Fish Plate
    Ellen L.

    This has become one of my new favorite restaurants! The staff, the food, the setting were all perfect. We got the Spicy Fish Plate, the Lamb Kebab Plate, and Falafel to share. Each plate comes with half off hot appetizers which is why got the falafel. The lamb kebab was my favorite. The hummus was so smooth and creamy and the lamb was juicy and cooked perfectly. The pita was warm and soft, one of the best pitas I've had! The spicy fish plate had a deliciously spiced sauce and the fish was tender. The challah it came with was nice and toasted on the outside but still soft on the inside. The falafel was also crunch on the outside but soft on the inside and flavored well, it wasn't dry at all. Overall, would reorder every dish we got! The staff was so sweet, always checking up on us without being too overbearing. They were very welcoming. There's bar seating, indoor table seating, and outdoor patio seating. It's an open kitchen concept, so it's also fun to see them making each dish fresh.

    The waitress Becca was incredibly polite, attentive, and professional. The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be coming back!

    Falafel sandwich and French fries
    Rani A.

    I want to go back here so bad the food is incredible! Delicious, fresh and authentic. The place itself is beautiful designed. We also stocked up on some Israeli snacks, what a clever idea. Service was wonderful and warm. Seriously can't say enough good things, wishing the owners and staff best of luck, I'll be back on my next trip to NYC!

    Rachel G.

    This place is incredible! Every dish is bursting with flavor--savory, fresh, and consistently delicious. I love coming here with friends, and my kids absolutely adore it. There's always many options on the menu they enjoy, no complaining when we're here Easily a 10/10.

    Lamb Kebob Al Haesh Sandwich

    First time here I ordered the lamb kebab, fast service and it was loaded with tahini sauce, fresh veggies and of course a generous portion of chopped up lamb, however, I think next time I'm gonna try it with the amba sauce on the side. Now, as you can tell from my picture, the presentation is casual yet appealing, with and indoor/outdoor style patio, I got to pretend I was escaping the city for a while. Now. What you don't see is the service and communication about the menu from Noah! And that was what really got me to not only leave a review but also boosted my opinion from 4 to 5 stars. Finally, I am interested in seeing what their Sunday brunch has to offer. Highly recommend, bring a friend.

It feels like you stepped into a rustic little house that a family lives in. We really appreciated that they were playing Albanian music. The food is so filling and heavy so pace yourself. My husband and I shared the pepper dip and the baked cheese appetizers, which come with freshly baked bread. Seriously delicious. For entrees, I got the tava kosi, which is an egg dish with two pieces of lamb. Honestly I didn't love it. It's a LOT of egg. The lamb pieces were delicious, but I was already so full that I could only have one piece. I wish it had a bit less egg and a bit more other things, but I know this is their national dish. My husband got the qofte shari. It was perfect. Cooked so well, the meat was spiced uniquely, even the fries were great. I think I just ordered the wrong thing! I would seriously love to return and try another clay dish. We finished off the meal with Albanian coffee, which was like Turkish coffee, but smoother and better. All in all, left so happy and full. Service was so attentive, too. Go here for a unique meal in the cutest little restaurant.

The staff was extremely warm, kind and welcoming and a special shoutout to Irem who was amazing, gave us some great recommendations and took care of us throughout. I went for the $39 prix fixe brunch which is honestly such a great deal and comes with quite a spread. I had the muhammara, hummus, shakshuka and dessert and thoroughly enjoyed my coffee too. We also ordered the tuna Niçoise salad, which is by far the best I have had ever. One of my friends was accidentally served the wrong order and they immediately replaced it with the right one and made her meal completely complimentary, which was such a nice gesture and something we really appreciated. We also loved that nobody was rushing us and we could just sit, chat and enjoy our brunch. Great food, beautiful ambiance, wonderful hospitality and even the restrooms were spotless and very well maintained. Overall such a positive experience and easily a 5/5 for me.

We were lead upstairs to a table. There were 7 of us The seating was cozy but not cramped. We started with 7 family style small dishes: Hummus with Falafel Pops (chickpea purée, tahini, falafel, olive oil), Spring Burrata (roasted cherry tomatoes, toast, basil oil), Hamachi Crudo (passionfruit vinaigrette, citrus zest, cucumber, mint, sesame tuile), Scallops (carrot puree, serrano pepper, brown butter sauce), Tenderloin Skewer (zaatar chimichurri, fresh herb salad), and Shiitake Stuffed Grape Leaves (tomato coulis, yogurt foam, herbs). Everything was delicious. The hummus was well seasoned the falafel had a nice crunch. It went well with the warm puffy gyro bread that came to the table. The burrata was wasm and creamy. I love the vinaigrette on the fish. I ended up eating most of it. The scallops were the sweetest, most tender ones I have ever had. The tenderloin skewers were tender and well seasoned. I liked the grape leaves but the rice consistency was very soft almost mushy and you can barely tell there were mushrooms. There was barely any mushrooms flavor. Next we all chose an entree. I got the duck breast, my husband and daughter each had the beef tenderloin. The duck breast was smaller than i expected. The skin was nicely seared and very crispy but boy did it give my jaw a workout. It was done medium rare. It was juicy but tough. The small beef tenderloin was tender and smoky. The waiter poured the sauce over the tenderloin for added flavor. Finally dessert was a fruit plate with ice cream and pudding. The fruit was fresh and the flavors of the ice cream and pudding unique. It was a nice end to a good brunch. The price was a little expensive at $85 a person.

The birthday coupons are what had brought me in every year, but even though they stopped during Covid, I still enjoy visiting. My go-to dish is the Iskender Kebab - delicious slices of lamb with tomato sauce and yogurt over baked pita bread. I also enjoy the combination platter with dips - the baba ghanoush is delicious. The atmosphere is classy but down-to-earth. The cocktails are tasty. The service can be slow, but it means we are never rushed out. The prices are mid-high, but commensurate with the quality of food. I recently came with a large group, including kids. Service was welcoming despite the chaos. Our bread was frequently replenished and our bottles of wine poured. On top of that, we were given tastes of dessert & liqueur - such a nice treat at the end of a long meal.

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.
