Fortuna NYC — Restaurant in New York

Food

The dishes look pretty. I got a fish plate with a side of lemon potatoes. The fish needed more salt and dipping the bread with the fish sauce definitely highlighted how there wasn’t much flavor.

The bread was probably the best part of the meal: soft, nice chew, and crisp and thin crust.

The lemon potatoes were a bit too sour. I know it’s in the name but it was just bowl of quite sour mashed potatoes. Not crunchy like roasted potatoes nor as creamy like american mashed potatoes. Maybe I ordered wrong but I did not like this. The saving grace was there were some sauces I could use to add more flavor.

Service: Solid, no real comments.

Atmosphere:

My table for two was in a cramped spot blocking some foot traffic but fortunately everything else was nice. Really like the interior and that’s why I visited the restaurant. One minor reason I have this 4 stars rather than 5 is that sometimes in the open kitchen some very loud noises were made by the pots and pans.

Value:

At $26 before tax for my meal this was very reasonably priced, maybe...

If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, this Israeli restaurant is it. From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with the warm aromas of fresh spices, sizzling meats, and baked breads that transport you straight to Tel Aviv.

Every single dish is a masterpiece — the hummus is insanely smooth and rich, the falafel is crisp on the outside and perfectly seasoned inside, and the shawarma? Just wow. Juicy, flavorful, and carved to perfection. Don’t even get me started on the fresh pita — warm, fluffy, and straight out of the oven.

The attention to detail is incredible, the staff treats you like family, and the vibe is just electric. Whether you’re here for a quick bite or a long meal with friends, it’s the kind of place you’ll be dreaming about long after you leave.

Do yourself a favor: come hungry,...

I had such a great experience at Fortuna NYC! The Mediterranean food was phenomenal. Fresh ingredients, bold flavors, & beautifully plated. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor. The hummus was silky smooth, the grilled meats were perfectly seasoned, & the pita came out warm & fluffy. The atmosphere is cozy but vibrant, perfect for a relaxed dinner or date night.

Our server, Eric, really elevated the entire evening. He was friendly, attentive, he was incredibly warm, & knowledgeable about the menu. His energy brought a warm and welcoming vibe to our table.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for quality Mediterranean cuisine & top-tier service in the city. Will definitely be...
