It took me awhile to go over my options but I eventually settled on this place, and in a seemingly endless sea of choices, this is a very good one.

I ordered the Two Skewers (I had the kofta and the marinated chicken) and both of them were fantastic, super juicy and flavorful and served piping hot with that fantastic harissa. I was not a fan of either of the salad options and the person behind the bar was able to substitute in an order of the pita and hummus instead, and I wish this was one of the normal options to accompany the meal since their pita and hummus is delicious.

The Rose Cardamom Pistachio Pastry was delicious, layered with delicate mixture of rose and cardamom flavor, and sprinkled with plenty of crushed pistachio. It was sweet, lightly flaky, and slightly crunchy. For my entree, I chose the Truffle Fondue with various types of sausage. The Truffle Fondue was served on top a small flame to keep it warm. It was satisfyingly melty, full of true truffle taste, and quite yummy. It came with pieces of white sourdough bread, which were nicely chewy. The sausage also came with purple grapes, as well as a piece of carrot. Sausage was succulent, juicy, and well seasoned. It was a perfect dipper for the fondue. I would have also liked to have potatoes with it, but each additional ingredient were priced a la carte, so would have to pay more. I wasn't really a fan of that set up and think that each fondue should have included more than just bread. Service was solid. Our waiter was personable and helpful. We were well taken care of throughout. Prices were reasonable, though fondue can get a little up there, depending on what you order with it. I would be open to returning to try the Cheeseburger.

Nevertheless, I have had so much pleasure over the years their cheeses in my local shops and restaurants, now called Mitica (meaning "myth") here in the US, that I want to give them a shout-out here. What prompted this was a small sliver of Campo de Montalban I picked up from the "odds and ends" bin at Whole Foods, that happened to be perfectly paired with a bourbon-barrel aged heirloom cider I also bought there, it was a lot like the Spanish cheese Mancheco but more rounded for me with a little funkiness in addition to the nutty taste. Anyway, it was one of those peak cheese moments. Several other Mitica cheeses are on my go-to list, so all I can say is Thank You!!!

Murray's Cheese remains a standout and a true New York City institution. Founded in 1962 in Greenwich Village, it has evolved from a popular neighborhood shop into a nationally recognized destination for artisanal cheese, charcuterie, and specialty foods. What really sets Murray's apart is the staff--consistently knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They're always happy to guide you. The selection is exceptional, with a wide range of cheeses and high-quality salumi that's hard to beat. Beware, the shop can get crowded, especially during holiday seasons. Beyond the retail experience, Murray's goes the extra mile with unique offerings. Their cheese classes and tastings on Bleecker Street are both fun and informative, covering everything from mozzarella-making to wine pairings. Behind the scenes, their Long Island City cheese caves are where they age and develop exclusive "Cave Aged" varieties, adding another layer of craftsmanship to their products. They also make it easy to enjoy their offerings from anywhere with nationwide shipping, including curated gift boxes and monthly cheese clubs. If you're in NYC, it's a must-visit. If you're not, it's still worth experiencing from afar. read more

love cheese. Love, love, love cheese. I do. I always have. I always will. This place is FANTASTIC. They have everything. All the staff members are super knowledgeable and want to help you get the product you really want. A friend of mine works here and while he was extremely patient with me and let me taste test pretty much every type of cheese they have, when I have gone to pick up cheeses without his being there, everyone else is just as helpful. I always leave here with bags filled to the brim. The beauty of cheese is, it stays in the fridge forever so I never feel too guilty stocking up. The prices are a bit high, so I really try to only go here when I am trying to get some nice snacks for people to nosh on when I'm having company. As always, with high prices comes a high level of quality and Murray's is no exception. It's also a very convenient location in midtown, easy to run in, get what you need and jump right back on the subway. Friendly, knowledgeable staff...Check. Amazing selection of cheeses from around the globe...Check. Opportunity to test the product before you buy...Check. Easy location...Check. Five stars is well deserved. read more

I purchased Murray's "Greatest Hits" gift box on line (about $107) as a gift, and unfortunately it turned into a very frustrating experience. The recipient was home when it arrived, refrigerated everything immediately, and followed proper storage practices. Even so, most of the cheeses were already spoiled when opened, with visible mold that made them unusable. The only item that held up was the brie, and the stracciatella had a very short shelf life for a shipped product. We reached out to customer service and were asked to provide photos, which we did for two of the items. At that point, we were told replacements would be sent, so the remaining spoiled cheeses were discarded. However, only a partial credit was issued for the items that were photographed. That credit was then revoked with the explanation that replacements were on the way--but no tracking information was ever provided, and nothing ever arrived despite multiple follow-ups. So in the end, I'm out $107 on a gift that couldn't be used, even after trying to follow their process. Very disappointing experience with Murray's Cheese. read more

****This is a review of their Cheese 101 Class**** The lovely Karen G. organized a nearly complete takeover of a Murray's Cheese 101 class and I intrepidly signed up for it. Because a) I like Yelpers and b) I lurrrrvvvvvve cheese. When I arrived at Murray's I was greeted by a bright and cheery interior, the pungent and tantalizing odor of cheese and the prospect of trying some of these cheeses out in said bright and cheery atmosphere. The class was very informative, the cheese selection provided to us was diverse and hit all the right notes on the flavor spectrum of cheese. My partner-in-cheese, who I dragged along to this, was also quite happy with the cheeses and the class. They also had dried fruits, nuts, bread, wine and sparkling wine for us amateur cheese buffs to partake in. My only complaint was that the supposedly stinky cheese wasn't all that stinky. I've had muy stinkier. I recommend to all cheese buffs to take this class and then mosey on down the stairs and start purchasing some cheese! read more

Why does unhealthy food taste sooooooo good? At the recommendation of my daughter (who sent me a video of the cheeses used in the toastie - or "melt" as they refer to it here), I wandered off to Bleeker street. The whole area was buzzing and Murray's was full with a good healthy vibe of music and conversation. I sat at the bar counter and was able to admire the cheese cabinet in front of me. The menu looked good but I was here for one thing only - their cheese melt. It was accompanied by a very tasty smoked creamy tomato soup and cheese stick, but the cheese toastie was everything it was meant to be. The cheese oozed out and the toast was crisp and slathered in butter - that's why it was so good. One could get this melt as a take away (and a 1/3rd of the cost) from the cheese shop next door but they only offer it until 4pm. This was one cheese toastie to travel for ... but my arteries and waist line will certainly regret it!! read more

We had a wonderful experience at Murray's cheese. They have a great selection of cheeses and other products, and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. What really impressed me was how Prudence and Ian accommodated our dietary restrictions. We have some allergies and intolerances in our group, and they went out of their way to make a special board for us with cheeses and accompaniments that we could enjoy safely. They even checked the ingredients of everything and explained what was on the board. It was such a thoughtful gesture and it made our visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Murray's cheese to anyone who loves cheese and wants to try something new and delicious. Thank you, Murray's cheese! read more

I did 2 orders of our family's fav cheeses, prosciutto so we could remote celebrate Xmas with our traditional meal. The order was delayed a week so we all got them after Xmas. Not a huge deal. But the condition of the Taleggio, a soft cheese was disgusting. Long, hairy fuzzy mould over every piece. The hard cheese were fine and the prosciutto is vacuum-packed. The items were cold upon arrival, so the cheese must've just sat around wrapped somewhere for a week. Yes, they are replacing them, but we shouldn't have had to see this when we unwrapped our fav cheese. read more

They even had two different types of squid ink pasta (fettuccine and linguine)- we can't wait to cook with both of them! Plus things I honestly doubt you've seen before- chocolate-pumpkin pasta? Yum. Would consider coming back to buy one or more of the fresh homemade ravioli packages.
