    Walked in at 10:30 on a Sunday and there was no wait for a table, but it filled up quickly. I tried: + Chicken sausage egg and cheese + Babka French toast + Espresso + Pistachio white chocolate latte Everything was excellent, but the service was weird/rude. Prob will not be back considering this place is pretty far from my apt, but it's a solid breakfast option if you're in the area.

    Egg sandwich and chicken sandwich

    Pretty tasty.. prices for the items were good. Chi latte was bit watery but still tasty.

    Stumbled upon this place while scouring Yelp for breakfast spots so we decided to check it out. There's no reservations required but keep in mind that this place is a bit small inside so if it's busy there may not be seating. We arrived by 11am and still found a table. We ordered: - bacon egg and cheese sandwich - traditional eggs breakfast plate - cortado - almond milk latte The dishes were simple but packed with a lot of flavor! I devoured the sourdough toast and eggs but couldn't quite finish all the potatoes because of how full I was. My friend also mentioned that the bacon egg and cheese was SO good. There's quite a few other things on the menu I'd try if I come back. So glad that we stumbled upon this gem.

    Keeping in tradition of trying places with the names of dead relatives, I'm here at Golda thinking of my grandmother. Golda is a cozy, cute gem of a place found on a busy street. My Jewish grandmother would give it 5 stars too because the food and drink we had was perfect for the start of our day in NYC. We split the Golda n Pancakes and the Spiced Home Fries. I was appreciative of the pancakes because they didn't taste gf and my reality is if I want pancakes I have to make my own so I loved being able to share them with the teen. The spiced home fries were reminiscent of a potato dish we had the night before at a French place the night before. Both were good. If I lived in the area I would be a regular. The guy taking our order looked stressed however he appeared to be slaying the onslaught of customers with finesse.

    Spent my first breakfast of the year at Golda Was near by and saw it was open!! First was planning just on a latte then got tempted for the breakfast. Had a regular Latte served in a beautiful handmade cup And the breakfast plate. Enjoyed both!! Really friendly service, in well a decorated and cosi space.

    I'd been eyeing Golda for awhile now and finally made it here a few weekends ago for brunch on a Sunday. The place is well-reviewed, and I thought the food was good, but agree with some other reviews that it's not a place worth going out of your way for. I live nearly an hour's walk from Golda and don't think I will be coming back based on my experience. They do not have much seating at all for outdoor dining, and the menu is a bit limited as well. My friend got a breakfast sandwich that looked good but heavy, while I had the chia seed oatmeal. Prices are reasonable.

    Excellent breakfast sandwich. Friendly staff....nice sidewalk seating that I could enjoy with my pooch! I'd return and definitely recommend.

    Lebneh Parfait
    Lindsey O.

    Came here for the labneh parfait and it didn't disappoint - a nice combo of sweet and tart. The service is friendly, they've got a couple of tables outdoor, and a good assortment of pastries up front. I'd definitely have the parfait again as it was a well portioned breakfast for when you're not looking to get overly stuffed. Truth be told though, I imagine I'll be updating this review fairly soon - I'm dying to return for both the fried chicken sandwich, and the smoked trout sandwich. Stay tuned!

    Great food and looks/taste as advertised! Great service and felt welcomed when I walked into order. Great music selection and I would absolutely come back to start my Saturday morning at Golda.

    Breakfast Signature Egg Sandwich
    Christina B.

    Golda is a dream for pickled veggie lovers and spices. Order their breakfast sandwich which is packed with middle eastern flavors also please do yourself a favor and add bacon and avocado. Surprisingly my favorite thing we tired here was the avocado toast, they add tons of pickled celery, olives, pickled carrots and tomato. Just YUM. Hummus also really good but I prefer a smoother consistency, still very flavorful though. Will be back because the coffee is also excellent and the staff was super nice.

    Natalee D.

    I enjoyed eating here overall! I thought the service was good and helpful in avoiding my food allergy. I thought the food was tasty but nothing like outstanding. I had the carrot ginger soup and my friend had a sandwich. She said it was good! I was a bit unprepared for how small the restaurant was and felt a little bit cramped but it was manageable. Pricing was a bit high in my mind for what we got.

    Golda'n Pancakes
    Rohit K.

    We ordered Golda for delivery and were very disappointed. We found the portion sizes to be tiny for entrees and the flavors to be incredibly bitter. The gold'n pancakes were near inedible. The eggplant menneman was spicy but the mustard sauce made no sense. The chicken sausages were fine but again very small for what they are. The delivery was good and well packaged. I'd like to stop in an give this place a try in person but will not be ordering delivery again.

    Egg sandwich

    I love me a good all day cafe. Breakfast or dinner food any time of day? Check. Beautifully plated dishes that demonstrate the culinary aptitude of the kitchen and give me a justifiable reason to spend way more than I would at a diner for similar food? Check! Gluten-free kale and walnut muffins? You bet. The menu promised a wide array of sweet and savory pastries, which is music to my ears. Unfortunately they were sold out of most by the time I arrived, save for the aforementioned gluten-free kale & walnut muffin, which wasn't really the vibe for me at the moment. My hanger concerns were quickly quelled when I spotted the eggplant menemen on the menu. Crispy egg, saffron yogurt, jerusalem artichoke, and urfa biber. The internet tells me urfa biber is essentially black pepper, but it's smart of them to make it sound fancy. I inhaled my dish. The two slices of bread on the plate were perfectly chewy, lightly toasted, and had a gentle drizzle of olive oil. This was great for dipping into the saffron yogurt, grilled eggplant and fried egg mix, which was a light and ideal meal for me. Even after chasing this with an oat milk chai latte I wasn't as full as I would've liked, but I also just spent $25 on lunch so I didn't order anything else. I like this place for a mid-week treat yourself meal and can't wait to return for those savory pastries.

I highly recommend getting an assortment of dips and small plates - 2-3 dishes per person was just right for us. I can't pick a favorite item of the evening: The Israeli Salad Hummus was some of the best/most flavorful hummus I've had, the Whipped Ricotta was perfect and so fluffy, and the Matbucha & Labne are also great additions to the table. They make a really good Falafel here, and the Crispy Cauliflower were perfectly crispy and well-sauced. The Chocolate Babka dessert is a great way to end your meal, and they do make a solid espresso martini for those wondering. The only thing I was not a fan of is their drink menu - all of the cocktails are spicy or smoky. Although you can sub out different alcohols, it would be nice to have a few other options.

The best food here is definitely going to be the local specialty and I was correct! We came as a group of 6- made this reservation a month in advance. They were super patient with us and took our orders pretty quick. The wine selection is magnificent I had such a great orange wine and tried their refreshing rose secco and they paired really well with the seafood. We ordered the tilefish ceviche, the famous sourdough, maitake and yellow oyster mushrooms and grilled corn to start. They each came on their own pace so it was 1 by 1. We got to focus on each dish and share it. It felt like tapas style! Amongst these starters I definitely really loved the ceviche athough my friends felt like it was lackluster. The oyster mushrooms and corn was interesting but not as amazing as the sourdough. We ordered two dishes for this and I felt like it wasn't enough. The ricotta is just so creamy and definitely left me wanting more. For secondary we ordered mackerel toast and the shrimp! These were definitely one of the most memorable and the mackerel was raw which was so fun and interesting play on texture with the cream cheese toast. Definitely something I would like to eat often for breakfast as it's similar to lox but not smokey and just super fresh and neutral. The shrimp was absolute star of the show. I don't have much notes on that other than it was spectacular. The way they grilled it or cooked it was just love! For the mains we shared the half chicken and the tilefish local specialty dish! I think the chicken you can skip but I definitely think the fish was one of the best fish I've eaten recently! I love the tomatoes and way they flavored it. For dessert I know my friend said the chocolate cake was the best but I digress I actually think there's better out there. Instead we also ordered their recommended lemon possett and this one was actually super worth it. I'd recommend this for sure! It's so tart but not too tart and light and airy it's definitely more my vibe. Our total was pretty crazy for a six person group I ended up paying around $80 pp for these dishes. I had a fun time having dinner with friends but we were also rushed out after we finished and it was time to give other people their spots. It definitely feels like you're only going there to eat and not to stay for a long dinner and chat.

Also coated in an anchovy sauce. The turnips/peas? Believe it or not, also in an anchovy sauce. Does Theodora owe money to Big Anchovy, or is there some secret anchovy agenda? Ironically, basically the only thing on the menu without a hidden seafood agenda were the oyster mushrooms. The service was quite attentive at least, well above average even for the price point. However, the drinks were hilariously small (I thought a cocktail at $20 was a decent deal, and then realized it was maybe 4oz of liquid in a lowball glass filled mostly with ice.

Service was incredibly warm, and our waiter gave helpful recs when navigating the wine menu, which featured mostly wines from Lebanon. For 2, we got: - baba ghannouj - muhammara - dips come with fresh, fluffy, warm pita - batata hara (crispy, spicy fried potatoes with garlic) - heirloom tomato (with garlic toum and sunflower seeds) - octopus - lamb chops Everything was delicious and extremely flavorful! The heirloom tomatoes were a standout dish: fresh, packed tons of flavor, and I loved how everything went together. The waiter mentioned they're seasonal and will be swapped out for something for the fall season soon. Dips and potatoes were excellent. Octopus was the one weaker spot. The skewer was a bit small and the preparation left the meat a little lackluster and chewy (I'm picky with my octopus!) The lamb chops were very tender with tons of flavor - char, mint, meat. A bit heavy but might just be because I don't eat a ton of red meat. I was VERY full by the end of the meal! I think we could have done 1-2 fewer dishes and still been very satisfied, but I'm glad I got to try so many things. The mains took a while to come out, though I enjoyed the longer, non-rushed, 'let's chat over delicious bites for hours' feeling of the meal overall. Great dining experience. The bill came to about ~$100 per person for the above + a drink (one wine, one mocktail) each. Between the fantastic ambiance, service, and high quality flavors, I found it to be worth the price and great for a treat yourself outing, date, or special occasion.

I asked if there was any way to fix this, and right away, the hostess brought us to another table with a much better view of that magnificent manhattan skyline and river. Then the food. Omg the food. We each ordered our main, after which they bring out an enormous tray of all these lovely nibble salads, pickles, dips, and pita. I don't eat wheat, and haven't my entire life, so I usually don't say anything about it if it seems to me the place doesn't cater to that sort of restriction. The server noticed however, and offered sliced cucumbers for the dips. Such a lovely detail, brava. Did I mention how deeeeeeeelicious everything was? Hubby had the steak shishlika which was perfectly tender and charred at once. I had the chicken shishlika which was good, but not the wow of the steak. Each and every salad, dip, pickle etc was perfectly spiced, cooked, presented. The nuances were just right. Nothing too precious or sideways. Just honest, well built yummy food. And the fries. You MUST get the fries. We ordered the tahini ranch along with the tahini catsup. In my opinion, that wasn't necessary. But if you're a ranch lover, go for it. Then the dessert! Soft serve with a cherry reduction and some kind of flourless chocolate brownie... I don't need to say more. The service was excellent. The food delicious.

Lesson learned: if you're going with a group, make sure you have your final number when making the reservation because adding someone later may not be possible. We started with the Mezzi Filistini, a mixed platter of babaganoush, muhammara, tabbouleh, salata, tahini and labneh. This was very good, and we tackled it with zest, devouring it with the accompanying pita bread. We also ordered the falafel, chicken shawarma platter and beef kebab platter. The chicken shawarma was decent, but I would have loved more chicken and bigger pieces. There was considerably more rice than chicken, which made the platter feel a little unbalanced. The beef kebab was better, with a good portion of meat and rice, and the accompanying vegetables weren't too bad either. One disappointment for me was the lack of a proper hot sauce. Something with a little heat and flavor would have paired really well with both the shawarma and kebab and, for me, would have elevated the meal. Overall, the food was good and the ambiance was pleasant. Service was also good for the most part, although I was disappointed that we weren't asked if we were interested in dessert before wrapping up the meal. Al Badawi is probably a place I would try again, but not one I'm in a rush to return to anytime soon.
