Description
Tucked away on a hidden Soho street, this small venue packs its 10 to 12 tables closely together, favoring close-quarters dining over private conversation. The kitchen turns out generous portions of dishes like eggplant-stuffed pita, schnitzel, and roasted chicken and potatoes. The service is notably fast, though the quick tempo means you may feel pressure to vacate your table shortly after finishing. If you want the room to yourself, the space can host private gatherings of up to 50 people.
