Sadelle's New York — Restaurant in New York

Sadelle's in New York, a veritable temple to the art of the bagel, lox, pelmeni, and latkes, serves up a feast that is nothing short of explosive – in the most delightfully gastronomic sense of the word. Nestled in the heart of the city that never sleeps, Sadelle's elevates these traditional staples to heights that even the most jaded of food critics would struggle to scoff at.

The bagels, each a perfect circle of chewy, doughy bliss, are not just baked; they are ceremoniously presented in towering stacks that defy gravity. Here, the humble bagel is no mere bread; it's a canvas, waiting to be adorned with layers of silky, sumptuously smoked lox, each slice a testament to the craftspeople who treat fish with the reverence of fine art.

But to focus solely on the bagels and lox would be to ignore the other culinary delights Sadelle's has to offer. The pelmeni, small parcels of joy filled with seasoned meats or vegetables, are a nod to the rich tapestry of New York's cultural melting pot. Each dumpling, meticulously pinched at the edges, is a burst of flavor, a miniaturized homage to the vastness of Eastern European cuisine.

Then there are the latkes, a crispy, golden symphony of grated potato, fried to perfection. These are not just side dishes; they are the stuff of legend, served with a side of apple sauce or sour cream that complements the crunch with a creamy, tangy counterpoint.

To say the food at Sadelle's is "bomb" is to acknowledge the explosion of flavors, the craftsmanship of the kitchen, and the sheer joy of indulging in food that is prepared with passion and served with pride. It's a culinary experience that resonates with the vibrancy of New York itself – diverse, dynamic, and utterly delicious.

In a city famed for its endless dining options, Sadelle's stands out as a beacon of tradition and innovation. It's a place where every bite tells a story, every meal is a celebration, and every guest leaves a little bit more in love with the flavors that make New York,...

I have been trying to get a reservation for months and finally got one. I have never been more excited because I heard wonderful things. After having gone here, I cannot fathom how this place does business. If people enjoy this place, it makes me question what type of food they are used to eating on a daily basis and if they are mentally well. First, every single thing we ordered was cold. I got the highly rated French toast which first came with nothing (barely any powdered sugar and no fruit). Taking my first bite, I was suffocating in oil, exploding into my mouth and making me gag. It was completely soaked in cooking oil, not edible. The blueberry pancakes were the same, to the point that you couldn't even taste blueberries. The omelette wasn't even what I would describe as a omelette but rather an "egg pancake"; raw yet greasy (if that's even possible). The side potatoes were ice cold and also doused in oil. Lastly, the bagel is nothing special. I've had better literally anywhere else in the city, dunkin donuts included. The stench of onions was so potent that upon leaving, our clothes, hair, purses and even my sweater INSIDE my purse stunk of the most vile onion smell that lingered on my purse for days having made me risk it falling apart by putting it my washing machine to alleviate the stench. I was nauseous for 3 days after going here, having only had 3 bites of my French toast, a piece of the bagel, a bite of potato and 1 slice of bacon. Upon going to the restroom, we passed by the kitchen and saw that the "cream cheese" or whatever it was, was being contained in a rubber mate plastic bin. Everything looked unsanitary, dirty and vile. This is by far one of the most disgusting restaurants I have ever been to in my entire life. We spent a total of $167, ate literally nothing and came out smelling like onions. DO NOT GO HERE. If I could give them 0 stars, I would but I still feel like that would be...

I came here wondering if this place was overhyped as most popular social media spots are, but I was pleasantly surprised. We came in for brunch, and the place was packed. Reservations are definitely recommended if you want to avoid waiting for a long time for a table. This place has a cool rustic industrial look. I enjoyed seeing the sliced fish on display and the area where they make the bagels. The menu has a variety of Jewish deli staples such as sliced fish and bagels, along with your more typical brunch items like French toast and omelets. Our server was Enriquetta. She was awesome and gave us great recommendations! Despite how busy it was, she was very attentive and checked on us throughout the meal. We ordered a variety of items, including the fish tower with house salmon, smoked salted salmon, sturgeon, bagels, pigs in a blanket, French toast, grapefruit, and pickles. The quality of the fish was impressive. The fish was fresh and so flavorful, the house salmon and sturgeon practically melted in my mouth. The fish tower is popular not just because it looks good in pictures but is absolutely delicious and a must try if you come to this place. The French toast is probably the best I've had, and I'm not typical a fan of French toast, but this was crispy on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. A surprising favorite was the grapefruit. They added some brown sugar, and this enhanced the flavor really nicely. For drinks, we had the Sadelle's spritz and raspberry smash both fruity and refreshing. The espresso martinis were so good! I can not say enough about the quality of the food. Everything we had was on point. This place is pricey, but that's expected considering the location...
