"All 15 of the restaurant’s employees were relocated to Peleg’s other businesses in the city, including the two-year-old Lamalo, multiple locations of Breads Bakery, and a forthcoming project from the team, which he declined to comment on." - Luke Fortney
"The spirit of this place has a casual, don't-mind-if-I-do vibe. Despite the laid-back ambience, reservations are advisable since tables fill early. The menu is designed for sharing. Go for the daily spread—a parade of numerous dips, like smoky baba ganoush, lemony hummus, charred cabbage, spinach and artichoke dip and even a cauliflower-based riff on tabbouleh—all served with traditional lafta." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Lamalo, a casual Middle Eastern restaurant known for its array of dips and spreads served with Jerusalem laffa, reopens on July 16, according to a restaurant spokesperson." - Bao Ong
"Modern Middle Eastern restaurant Lamalo will be launching brunch service this weekend. The $25 per person menu is designed to be tackled family-style, with classic dishes like shakshuka, muesli, and malawach." - Luke Fortney
"Peleg capitalized on that success — albeit sans chef Uri Scheft — by opening the lauded Nur in the Flatiron District with chef Meir Adoni in 2017 and then Lamalo, a Midtown hot spot highlighting mezze-style dips and spreads." - Eater Staff
