Taste of Akko — Restaurant in New York

I recently revisited this gem and felt compelled to update my previous review because words alone can't capture the sheer culinary delight I experienced. Their food is authentically fresh, bursting with flavor, and transports you straight to an Israeli eatery chef's kiss.

When they sing "Ooh Heaven is a Place on Earth," they must be referring to this restaurant. You know that sensation when something is so delectable your eyes close to fully appreciate each taste? Imagine flavors pirouetting on your palate; each bite is a dance of taste that leaves you craving more. I challenge you to try their knaffeh and not feel that way! (And that's coming from someone who typically isn't a cheese fan.)

It may have a cozy, homestyle ambiance, but their dishes pack a flavorful punch. This is undoubtedly one of Brooklyn's finest hidden Middle Eastern Kosher gems. Here, you won't find oil laden dishes. Instead, you'll savor homemade deliciousness infused with love in every bite.

Don't walk - run to this place and indulge in a piece of heaven! We had the shakshukah and knaffeh, and I'll definitely be...

Had been wanting to try this place for a while. I’d been to the city of Akko in Israel shooting a food show and had a fantastic time, so when I saw the name, I knew I had to try it. The food immediately took me back. The hummus, pita, shakshuka, everything was delicious and amazing. I went for a quick bite with my wife, but next time we’re making sure we’re going back very hungry. The staff makes you feel like part of the family and it’s a very authentic experience. As soon as you sit down, they start bringing you complimentary “salads” and dips. Then as we were paying the bill, they gave us each a falafel, because “you have to try this” (if was one of the best I’ve ever had!) I felt like I was actually...

This was my second time here. I live out of state, was visiting my mom and told her we must go back! Today we had the Falafel Plate, a Greek Salad and a Mango Nectar. First even before we ordered we were given pita, pickles, hot sauce and hummus. The Greek Salad was super fresh and seasoned perfectly with the best middle eastern spices and really good olive oil. The falafel balls were perfection and came with Israeli salad, cabbage, marinated carrots and beets. The owner is very generous and gave us a delicious almond ball dessert and a tea with mint on the house! It’s a tiny place with the most delicious food reminiscent of the places I remember from israel. Run don’t walk! You won’t be...
