Danielle Davis: The Mothers Triple Decker Club with pecan smoked trout is to die for. And get the fried chickpeas!! Great vibe here too!

Janae PIerre: I usually get the 'exact' same thing every time I go here b/c I'm pescetarian-vegetarian. The curry tilapia w/ rice n' peas, cabbage, mac n' cheese, plantains, candy yams, and sometimes the red cake:)
Santia Valerio: You get a bang for your buck. The oxtail is solid and the rice n peas are almost like my grandma's! A great authentic Jamaican spot !

john ratcliffe-lee: Stand outs for us were the green pea and goat cheese kulcha, paneer chili, papad thali and butter chicken with a side of naan. Hope they bring the lights up and music down a bit. A few service kinks.
Emma Cramer: Definitely get the pea and goat cheese kulcha, the potato tikki, and make your own large plate out of the chicken 65 and the cauliflower 65.
Ben Mackey: Upscale Indian restaurant. The dishes are all amazing and full of flavour. Potato tikki, Cauliflower 65, Green pea and goats cheese kulcha and the lamb shank are all amazing.

Mediterranean Restaurant · Chelsea · 10 tips and reviews
Missy Mackey: One of my favorite new restaurants in the city! Get the spicy tahini, chickpea, and whipped ricotta dips, our manti and the Moroccan fried chicken. Large portions, good for groups!
Tristan: Chickpea burger is a real delight. Ask for the sweet / spicy sauce on the side. No regrets.
Paige C: The shared platter of mezze dips was perfection. And they might have the best fries I’ve had in a long time.
Savannah Petrick: the smashed peas and the baked beans are both great (neither dish is sweet). pleasant atmosphere for weekend brunch but be prepared to wait for awhile- try shopping @ steven alan around the corner!
Sofia Figueroa: Smashed peas & brussel sprouts salad w/ poached egg are delicious! Very vibrant for an AM spot!
PureWow: There’s more than just avocado toast at these Aussie spots (their version is pretty delicious). Try smashed peas with prosciutto and ricotta on sourdough, or banana bread with espresso mascarpone. Read more.
emily chen: best szechuan restaurant in NYC. soft opening this week and already hour + waits. get the beef and tripe appetizer, spicy pickled fish stew, spicy potato strings, and pea shoots.
Maccha: Ma-Ma hot fish, stir fried pea shoots & Fu-Qi special
Carolyn F: Everything was great! For me the best dishes were the red chili pepper chicken and the red chili whole fish.
