Dagon

"The dining room is loud and airy at Dagon, whether or not the windows facing the sidewalk are open. Grab a seat at the bar and order the mezze collection with items like Japanese eggplant confit, marinated beets, Moroccan carrots, chicken liver mousse, labneh, and muhamarra. Don’t miss the breads." - Eater Staff

"A menu that shows off latkes is available for Hannukah: Choose from three or six latkes for $27 or $47, with three sides, such as horseradish yogurt, smoked salmon, ginger-apple sauce, harrissa, and more." - Eater Staff

"The Deal: $24 for 1 hour of unlimited mimosas with purchase of entree It's surprisingly easy to get a table at Dagon on a weekend afternoon, when the bright, plant-filled space reaches its full potential. This UWS restaurant serves upscale Mediterranean food, including thick labneh and well-spiced shakshuka. Be sure to order the big, pull-apart kubaneh. If you don't, someone at your table will file a complaint." - neha talreja, bryan kim

"Dagon is a Mediterranean spot that’s useful when you need to impress your in-laws or a few friends you haven’t seen in a while. We technically prefer the hummus and shakshuka at nearby Miriam, but Miriam doesn’t have Dagon’s patterned tile floors, hanging foliage, and beachy pastel color scheme. Entrees start around $30 and include things like crispy roasted lamb, chicken schnitzel, and salmon with braised cabbage. Be sure to start your meal with the pull-apart kubaneh stuffed with feta.

"Inspired by the cuisines of Tunisia and Israel, chef Ari Bokovza’s buzzy restaurant showcases eastern Mediterranean fare in a breezy indoor-outdoor dining room as well as a outdoor dining patio seating 30, where diners are transported to a garden with lots of plants, green leather benches, and ornate chandeliers. Don’t miss the flatbreads and mezze to start." - Eater Staff
