Malka

What an amazing restaurant! From the ambiance to the location to the food. Enjoy authentic Israeli food while being serenaded by a magnificent atmosphere. After dessert enjoy a nice walk on the piers in dumbo. Congrats to a job well done!

We loooved Malka!! It wasn’t over rated!! We felt like we were sitting at an israeli shabb table! Delicious food and super warm and fun atmosphere! Also shout out to Adir and Jesus, they should get a raise! Amazing attentive service! Highly recommend this place! I can’t wait to go back tonight!!!

Honestly one of the best restaurants out there. Tamar was really outstanding with her service. The best kosher and fresh (VERY FRESH ingredients) - restaurant in dumbo ( I think the only kosher one in dumbo) If you are in for good food and good time this is the place to be!! Thank you Tamar and everybody else that made our experience beyond!!

Great food. Not as great as the UWS location, but still worth it. The schnitzel is easily the best in the world. Also the pistachio cake dessert was sneaky good

Can't recommend this place enough! The beef tartare was absolutely perfect - beautifully seasoned with just the right balance of richness and brightness. The crudo was equally impressive, so fresh and clean with delicate flavors that really let the fish shine through. But the food was just one part of what made this such a great experience. The whole vibe is relaxed but polished, and everyone working there seemed genuinely happy to be there, especially our hostess Tamar who really went out of her way to make sure we felt welcomed and taken care of.

I have been to malka for dinner multiple times. Each time it has been a supernatural experience: the staff is kind, the food is delicious, and the ambiance kindles a torch in my heart. The selection of dishes is excellent. It covers a wide variety of international options with an excellent twist. The schnitzel is to die for, the best in the US. The hummus is bold and creamy, it will transport you to the desert in the Middle East. The drink selection is superb. One of the best restaurants in the US and a hidden gem in NYC.

Really good! Loved their creamy hummus and tahini so much, reminds me of the simple goodness of Israel. Delicious focaccia and very good schnitzel. Prices are high but I’m happy to support this Israeli restaurant and their fresh dishes. Big fan of their sister restaurant Miznon, led by the same chef. Cozy yet lively spot that’s perfect for a date. Welcome to the neighborhood! 5 stars!!!

Malka blew us away — especially with their signature mashed potatoes–filled schnitzel. It’s one of the most creative and satisfying dishes I’ve had in a long time. The schnitzel was perfectly crispy on the outside, but what really sets it apart is the rich, creamy mashed potatoes tucked inside. It’s comforting, surprising, and somehow still light despite being indulgent. The flavors are nostalgic but elevated, and every bite feels like a hug. If you’re going to try one thing at Malka, make it this dish — it’s a true standout. The atmosphere was cozy and fun, service was excellent, and the rest of the menu was just as thoughtful. Can’t wait to come back!

My friend and I got to try this place for an early lunch after a workout next door. The menu consists of many classic Mediterranean and Israeli dishes with fresh ingredients. The falafel was served with the perfect crust and was very filling, without feeling too oily. All the vegetables we tried were incredibly fresh, hitting the spot on a warm summer afternoon, and paired perfectly with their hummus, my favorite thing I tried, along with their warm focaccia bread. I'd definitely love to come back here and try the rest of the menu but do wish it were expanded a bit.

Our kids gifted us meals at a special wine pairing dinner held in conjunction with Israel's Castel Winery. The food served in 5 small plate courses was matched to white or red fine wines. The food & wine were excellent, service was attentive with explanations of each item. The ambiance is Brooklyn industrial near 3 Brooklyn bridges. I'd say this elevates NYC kosher dining with a new concept. Based on this experience, I would recommend Malka Dumbo. Yes, the prices are high, but this is true in any upscale kosher eatery in a high rent district.

Malka is a lovely spot in DUMBO! Great ambience and space -- upscale and dimly lit vibes in the evenings. The Malka Schnitzel is divine and a must-order. The skin is so crispy and seasoned well and encases a creamy potato filling. It came out warm with small sides and dips and was great to try. I am a big fan of their menu, which is almost like a riddle! It's a fun way to interact with the waiter as well to clarify what the dish entails. Our service was great, fast and friendly. It got surprisingly busy for a Monday evening, around the holiday season. I also enjoyed how everything is made to be shared! This allowed us to try lots of different dishes, including focaccia, hummus, tomato farro, and green beans, which were good. I was not as into the lamb ragu, which tasted slightly gamey. Overall, I was a fan of my experience here!

Absolutely loved the food here! Had a small group dinner, family style place with made to order items. We had focaccia, a mixed platter, lemon/garlic green beans, schnitzel, some raw fish, and cocktails. Everything was so fresh! Cocktails delicious, and great music and ambiance. Attentive service and overall great experience. Great kosher option, as I have a friend that is observant.

This was an bad experience across the board. We made a reservation for 5 people and they crammed us into a 4 person table in the bar area where people kept knocking us as they walked by. The menu is weirdly cryptic and i guess they are expecting customers to ask the waiter to explain everything - i think its supposed to be playful and fun but actually felt dumb and annoying. Food - we ordered a branzino which they offered to de-bone, but it seemed like the servers had no idea how to do that and the fish was borderline inedible bc of all the bones (see pic, which is from just 2-3 bites of fish). We also got the schnitzel which was very meh but somehow costs $46. We ordered a bottle of wine but they were out, and the waiter tried to replace it with a bottle at 2x the price without flagging that for us. Its not even about the money, its just bad service. We ordered the hummus for more than $20, itwas fine but nothing special, but somehow the hummus didn't get served with pita or anything that we could eat it with. It looks like a cool spot from the outside but not worth the time or money.

Service is terrible food come so slow. We order salad at 8 o'clock and we got it for dessert. Food comes in different time you cannot eat all party in the same time food luck of seasoning very disappointed. Expensive for no reason.
