I'm I accidentally got the soft salami instead of the hard salami. It was more like bologna. The rainbow star cookies were amazing. Not too sweet and just like the ones I remember getting as a kid in New York. They also have discounted bagels at the end of the weekend. I recommend grabbing a bag to take home and the slicing them and putting them in the freezer. There is plenty of free parking and they do have a few tables in the front if you want to dine there.

Our child also really enjoys their "bullet train" transportation system for meat orders which speed down the kitchen conveniently to our table. All other food fare rotates around gradually with clear labels that advise how long to cook certain noodles, vegetables, and assorted ingredients. The restaurant is spacious and feels so even when bustling with high ceilings and adorable glass displays of collectibles. They have a sauce bar with all the necessary accoutrements as well as assorted hot foods and dessert. Speaking of dessert, while they have several to order in the menu as well as boba and other offerings, their seasonal desserts near the sauce bar are awesome. I've had herbal jelly suspended in a milk tea and a strawberry milk variation that were both so refreshing. Perfect palate cleansers. There's a small lot right to the side of the restaurant, some street parking, and parking on the streets nearby (to the back and side). Be careful to read the signage posted to ensure you're in a valid spot.

However, iam willing to give it another try because the dessert and drinks were calling out to me. Service was great no complaints! Place was nice and bright and theres a bit of a wait. Parking is horrible tho. Small lot beside the place and street parking. Not enough for how big the place is. Happy eating!

    I'm extremely thankful to have a friend who introduced me to this bagel spot. Definitely a top 2…read morefavorite of mine. I haven't been to the location but have had these bagels consistently for over 10 years. The texture and flavor of the bagel is everything a NY bagel is and should be. Fluffy on the inside, somewhat crispy on the outside, and oh so thiccccccccck! Their cream cheese?! Ugh! Don't skip on it, seriously everything about this place is perfect. My go to selection is the egg bagel with chive cream cheese. It's chef's kiss and hits the spot. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME!!!!

    If you're expecting this to be interchangeable with the franchised bagel places that have spread…read moreacross the country, recalibrate now. This is not that. I've been going to New York Bagel & Bialy for over 50 years, and places like this operate on a different clock, a different standard, and frankly, a different philosophy of what a bagel is supposed to be. Timing matters. If you show up after about 8:00 AM, your odds of getting bagels at their absolute peak--still warm, properly textured, with that slight resistance on the outside and softness inside--go up significantly. Earlier can be hit or miss depending on the batch cycle, but once they're in stride, this place delivers. The essentials are all here and worth your time: poppy seed, sesame, everything, and especially the bialys. The bialys alone are reason enough to make the trip--properly done, with the right chew and depth of flavor that you simply won't find in mass-produced versions. Don't overcomplicate it. Grab a dozen. On your way home, stop and pick up a couple packages of Philadelphia Cream Cheese and some smoked salmon a jar of capers, a Bermuda onion--whether here or even from Walmart--and you've got a meal that outperforms most brunch menus at a fraction of the cost. This isn't trendy. It's not trying to be. It's something better: consistent, old-world, and still doing it the right way. If you're going to call something a bagel, the standard is not branding--it's process. That's why New York Bagel & Bialy on Touhy stands apart. They actually do it right: kettle-boiled first, then baked in rotating ovens. That single decision--boiling--changes the entire structure. It gelatinizes the outer starch layer, locks in density, and produces that thin, glossy crust with real chew. Without it, you don't have a bagel--you have bread with a hole. The rotating ovens matter too. They deliver even heat, which means you get the correct balance: a slight exterior crisp with a dense, elastic interior. No puffiness. No sponge. No collapse under toppings. That's the difference here. Most chains optimize for speed and shelf life, so they steam or shortcut the process. Many local shops land in the middle. This place doesn't compromise. If you care about what a bagel is supposed to be--not just what it's called--this is the benchmark in Chicago.

I swear they don't even salt and pepper the fish, they just let that sit on the grill and do its own wonderful thing. Walking into to the restaurant, you might be a little taken aback. It's not the nicest dining area, even a little dinky. But if you are a real foodie, you know this is a good sign. The best places are the ones that look like this. The food comes out and you're realizing you've made the right decision. Admittedly, a lot of the business is takeout and delivery (which I've also done, and is also delicious) but if you aren't afraid of a pared down dining room, you can often have it to yourself while enjoying some amazing food.

We were parked, but we went in to try it and we were not disappointed with the dishes. Here's my review of the dishes: I loved the lentil soup, and we got warm bread to go with it; the bread was delicious. The falafel appetizers were yummy. The chicken kebab was great. I took half home because it was a lot for me. My hubby had the shawarma sandwich, but I don't have a photo because he ate it right away. He said something about the onions that made it taste so good with that bread. We also bought more bread to bring home. We will go back soon. Our waitress was very polite. The only thing I didn't like was the Tabbouleh salad. It was too soggy with the vinegar they add, I think. I like it more dry. I will add a few photos of the food items.
