    We had a reservation for 4 at 8:15pm but didn’t get seated until 9pm. It’s a tiny restaurant and really busy. Though the wait was long, the host gave us a glass of wine to enjoy while waiting. Once seated, we were able to order our food and drinks. The service was quick and attentive once we were seated. Definitely recommend getting the spicy feta dip and the grilled brochette. The potato gratin that came with the lamb chops was really good.

    I haven’t experienced such a delightful culinary journey in a long time. The flavors and presentation of the dishes were absolutely perfect. The warm atmosphere and attentive staff made me feel truly special. It’s a place that stands out, and I will definitely be coming back!

  • Review 3 (2024-09-23 - Rating: 5)

    We stumbled upon this restaurant and loved it! We came in around 10pm on a Saturday and were able to get drinks and appetizers at the bar without a reservation. The music was good and the food and drinks were great too! I recommend the seafood ceviche, it was delicious!

  • Review 4 (2024-09-11 - Rating: 5)

    Had such a lovely dining experience with a friend! We each got a passion fruit gimlet and shared two mezze platters (one with dips and one with skewers). The spicy feta dip was our favorite! Everything was so yummy and the vibes were very nice and relaxing. Would definitely go back!

    Amazing brunch spot! Went early on a Saturday and it wasn’t too busy. The waitress was very polite and the food came out very quickly. I got the eggs benedict with smoked salmon and it filled me up until dinner time.

    What’s not to love. Beautiful place, rustic, cozy, dimly lit, romantic. Tasteful music. Charming atmosphere with friendly people. Extraordinary service & staff Haans is the best! Great part of town. Truly delightful. Food was just as pleasing. I sat outside, there is plenty of outside seating as well as bar seating & large tables to accommodate many guests. Thanks again I’ll definitely be back 😉

    Balzem is a hidden gem that brings the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean to life in an elegant, intimate setting. The restaurant’s menu is a delightful mix of fresh, high-quality ingredients that are artfully prepared and bursting with flavor. From their perfectly seasoned grilled octopus to the tender lamb chops, every dish is a tribute to Mediterranean cuisine. The warm ambiance, attentive service, and thoughtfully curated wine list make it an ideal spot for both romantic dinners and sophisticated gatherings. Balzem strikes the perfect balance between luxury and comfort, offering a dining experience that’s as memorable as it is delicious.

    Andrés, the best in everything he does, how helpful and attentive he was with us, he would return to the place only for the good attention and hospitality of Andrés, thank you Andrés for the good treatment

    The food is fantastic, different seating options, service is great! Atmosphere and decor is ambiance!

  • Review 10 (2024-12-17 - Rating: 5)

    Grilled chicken sandwich and chicken Orzo soup were fantastic. This place delivers on the Mediterranean expectations. Tiramisu is really nice too. The service is not the fastest but I wouldnt complain about it, as it is faster than restaurants in this locality, which sometimes only one person facing the customers.Cons: Price might be a bit higher relativity.

  • Review 11 (2024-08-24 - Rating: 5)

    I recently dined at Balzem and it was an exceptional experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal. I ordered the steak, and it was absolutely amazing, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavour. Highly recommend this place for a delightful dining experience!

  • Review 12 (2021-07-25 - Rating: 5)

    We were food touring, so we were only trying a few small items on the menu. We had the shrimp artichoke dip, the branzini ceviche, and the crevette grill. The dip was rich and cheesy. The ceviche was light and fresh. The crevette grill was paired with arugula dressed in lemon juice olive oil and salt. It complimented the grilled shrimp well. Id go back to have a meal.

  • Review 13 (2024-06-03 - Rating: 5)

    I mean wow, I’ve been thinking about their food since I left there a few weeks ago. We went for my cousins birthday and it was just 5 of us, the staff was cool and accommodating. The food was out of this world!!! We did the spread sampler and the spicy feta and hummus was TOP TIER!!!! The pita was fresh and warm and the chicken skewer was insane. As it got a little later, the lights dimmed and the music turned up, such an awesome spot! 10/10

  • Review 14 (2024-03-24 - Rating: 5)

    First time here, really enjoy the vibe, the service, food and drinks. Their playlist music was really delicious.

  • Review 15 (2019-04-03 - Rating: 4)

    Great service. The mushroom and truffle flatbread pizza was the best thing. Octopus app and babaganoush were also really good. The Manti app was forgettable. Cocktails were tasty but pricey and not that strong.

  • Review 16 (2024-08-29 - Rating: 5)

    Balzem is a great place to have a lunch ! I really liked the service and food !!!

  • Review 17 (2024-06-29 - Rating: 4)

    First time here. Octopus was absolutely amazing! The lambs skewers were delicious, but just a tad tough and chewy. Love the old nostalgic decor.

  • Review 18 (2024-07-19 - Rating: 5)

    I have literally never left a review for a restaurant in my life… there are few places that can get this out of me… the grilled shrimp is SO AMAZING.. please give the chef a kiss! 🩵

  • Review 19 (2024-07-08 - Rating: 5)

    We started with the Manti which I had never had but will again. I had the pasta with mussels and shrimp and it was very good. My friend also enjoyed the seared tuna. Everything was very good, Ive been here before and will continue coming back.

  • Review 20 (2024-08-25 - Rating: 5)

    Food and service was excellent! We ordered the tuna sandwich and the mushroom and truffle oil flatbread. Delicious!

    Amazing origin Mediterranean food. The Lentil soup was just same as how its made in my hometown back in the days!

  • Review 22 (2019-04-07 - Rating: 4)

    The mushroom pizza is the bomb! Octopus and baba ganoush were not bad as well. A bit pricey for the amount of food.

  • Review 23 (2021-05-16 - Rating: 5)

    Vibe was great (outdoor tables). Service was great. Perfect fancy but not too fancy restaurant, prices affordable but for a menu more considered & elevated than most at these prices.Mushroom pizza AMAZING. Sautéed spinach — who knew it could be so good? Potatoes au gratin — divine. Shepherd salad super refreshing. Definitely coming back, merci everyone!

  • Review 24 (2024-10-28 - Rating: 5)

    Always love stopping by for their mushroom truffle flatbread and a lemonade! The atmosphere is great and the staff is friendly!

    We went for dinner with my friends! The drinks are delish and very well presented 👌The staff is very friendly and polite and very attentive! The food was good we got to share some of the plates as the portions are good sized.This guy was the star of the night! Everything we needed it was there! Thank you Leonard for making our night!

  • Review 26 (2023-11-26 - Rating: 5)

    I came in for a late night meal. Service was great from the start. I asked for an off menu mocktail. The bartender gladly obliged and made me the best beverage Ive had at a bar or restaurant. It was not soda based, as often these end up being, and tasted incredible. That alone is worth the visit, but the food was amazing; highly recommend the chocolate and pear dessert. I had such a great experience here.

  • Review 27 (2024-11-03 - Rating: 5)

    Yesterday I visited this beautiful restaurant, I really loved the cocktails and the service from the Bartender Hiko was excellent I definitely recommend it and I will go again

    We stopped in for drinks Friday night 4/19 while waiting for our table at another restaurant. I cant remember the name if the young lady who seemed to be the hostess. I believe the guys name was Hahn. Something like that. The service was top notch and had a the atmosphere was great. Wish we couldve stayed longer. I highly recommend it.

    I was here last weekend with friends and family and we all enjoyed the food and the service. Food was delicious and the staff very friendly and professional at the same time. If you’re wondering to have some quality time with your loved ones, this is the place to go! 👌🏻

  • Review 32 (2023-09-02 - Rating: 4)

    Really loved this place. Super cozy restaurant with great service and Mediterranean food. Nice wide selection of options as went with a groups of gals. My favorite was the different dips of feta and hummus so good as well as the tossed cucumber/ tomatoe Nice not heavy food- recommend

  • Review 33 (2023-10-22 - Rating: 5)

    I found my new gem! I took my dad here and we had a great time. The food was so delicious, I had the ribeye sandwich on a ciabatta and it was out of this world! Perfect flavor and texture. The staff were very friendly and the service was quick. My ONLY regret was not taking pictures.😊I definitely will be going again!

  • Review 34 (2023-07-28 - Rating: 5)

    Wonderful restaurant, the staff was very accommodating when some members of our party were running late. We were never rushed, our server offered a taste of wines we were considering, and even gave us a lovely treat at the end. I also loved that the food was so healthy and light, I will definitely be back again very soon!

  • Review 35 (2024-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    Came here for a last minute lunch and am so glad I did, portions were pretty large but didn’t leave me feeling sick full. The vibe is great too. Will be back for sure

    We had a wonderful experience overall, I would give this spot solid 4.7⭐️We went for lunch. Food was exceptional and great value for price-quality-size.Very polite staff. A bit of a European-family vibe in terms of service - but I do like it a lot, so no issues on my end.Cute-casual interior.

  • Review 38 (2023-12-11 - Rating: 5)

    Had brunch there with a few friends for the first time yesterday. Very laid-back, low key place which we all enjoyed. Nice service, great food, good music & delish desserts! Recommend!

  • Review 39 (2022-05-28 - Rating: 4)

    Amazing food and great outdoor dining. It was all of our first time and we really enjoyed this place. We give this one less star because we all did not like our waitress. She wasnt very nice and kept coming over interrupting our conversation (so American). Then she included a 20% tip without telling us! We almost paid more tip! Unbelievable. If they serve Mediterranean food maybe they should also have a Mediterranean mentality and let people truly enjoy their food and time there, and not include tip.

  • Review 40 (2024-03-17 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing service! Cool crowd. We had a nice bottle of Vermentino. We came for a couple of appetizers - the escargot and bouchettes. Really enjoyed them.

    Go for happy hour! Cheap drinks and snacks. Cozy atmosphere. Good service.

  • Review 42 (2020-07-14 - Rating: 4)

    Decent Mediterranean spot - the tapas are great, we had the breakfast platter, the fruit platter, the burrata, the spicy feta, the artichoke dip and the Mac and cheese. Barring the spicy feta, the dishes were delicious and fairly filling without being loaded. Servers are nice and welcoming.Went for their outdoor dining - great food and service. Highly recommend the octopus and the shrimp appetizers!

  • Review 43 (2024-02-12 - Rating: 5)

    I loved this place. The staff were very friendly. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was really joyful. I had a great time

  • Review 44 (2023-06-10 - Rating: 5)

    Service is always great, attentive and welcoming.Been here more than once & I enjoy coming back every time. The most memorable dish for me was the melon salad. It was simple, refreshing and outstanding in my books. And thats coming from someone that does not like salad, and definitely not a fan of arugula. In addition to that, My usual go to recommendation includes the burrata, grilled octopus, truffle mac and cheese, truffle mushroom pizza flatbread and the LEspice spicy tequila cocktail.

  • Review 45 (2024-03-14 - Rating: 5)

    This place is amazing with a great chill vibe and awesome staff. Ive been a pescatarian for 12 years and this was my first week eating meat again. This had to be the best steak I have ever had, cant wait to go back. The fries here are also amazing.

  • Review 46 (2023-04-07 - Rating: 5)

    The food was amazing. Each bite was another experience. Highly recommend the pear and chocolate dessert, curtesy of the bartender who was very generous and helpful. Would recommend this place to anyone who is in this area and need a great place for delicious food.

    Love the atmosphere!! This place is really good. They have a wall garden indoor and makes the place so interesting. Oh! Their music playlist are awesome (when we were there). Food have good portions with superb flavor. Also, good varieties of wine to choose from. Definitely good place for brunch or you can just go there & chill with a glass of wine or two or more!

  • Review 52 (2024-03-30 - Rating: 5)

    Loved this place! Food is delicious, service is great. A little pricey but worth it!

  • Review 53 (2021-07-01 - Rating: 4)

    Solid Mediterranean spot, but not the best in the city. Everything we ate was very solid and they make manti (Turkish dumplings) which is a pretty special item in NYC to find. Not a place I’d travel the city to eat at, but if I needed a reservation and the top spots were taken I’d happily go back and enjoy my time for sure.

  • Review 54 (2020-02-18 - Rating: 5)

    Always come from time to time... Chicken tavern and the lentils soup is the best

  • Review 55 (2022-05-02 - Rating: 5)

    Really cute restaurant! We got some appetizers and salads for dinner. The ambiance of the restaurant is great. The babaganoush was smoking tasting, which isnt my favorite but its pretty standard. The burrata was delicious and both salads were tasty. I got the quinoa salad with tuna and my friend got the Lazzoni Sea Shepherd.

  • Review 56 (2021-06-14 - Rating: 5)

    This place was great! Service, food, drinks, and vibe are great. We got hummus and pita, very good, along with the grilled portobello to start. They were cooked to perfection. Our meal was the mushroom truffle oil flatbread...let me tell you something...I would fight someone for that Flatbread. The truffle mac n cheese is the best Ive ever tasted. My wife and I will be back.

    Great serendipity! Chose it because of the number of high reviews and it was a thousand points that night taurant on an early summer evening. Open air view of the street, busy with good people and good conversation, flowers on the table, delicious chicken and steak brochette, wonderful service, and all in all a highlight! I highly recommend it!

  • Review 63 (2019-03-19 - Rating: 4)

    Very cozy place. Although the dinner menu ( small plates) wasn’t too fascinating(not many options to choose from). Def a unique menu. Liked their zucchini pancakes. The shrimp dish was a show stealer.. it’s a must do dish.They have a great wine list. The server talked very fondly of their desserts. We were all full so couldn’t try but I am assuming that their desserts are great 👍

  • Review 64 (2021-06-26 - Rating: 5)

    Balzem looked great right off the bat in that it was full. I noticed a table for two and snagged it immediately (with permission from the staff). Our servers were amicable and prompt. The wine selection was great and we had a fantastic Garancha Blanca and Melon de Burgogne. The babaganush was very tasty and the artichoke and prosciutto de parma flatbread was delicious and very rich. I liked that they cut it 4 ways and down the middle making it an easy finger food. Give it a whirl!

  • Review 65 (2019-12-07 - Rating: 4)

    Very tasty Mediterranean food with lovely intimate cozy ambiance. The service is very pleasant and friendly too. I wasnt as happy about the fact that most of main entrees seemed a bit overpriced to me (especially for Mediterranean).

    Hard to describe how much I love this place. The food is always so delicious, perfectly portioned, well-priced, seasoned to delight and ALWAYS consistent. (The octopus is the best in the city - crispy, grilled, seasoned. Their cocktails are great too!) Came here w the parents in 2016, came back for a birthday party w the girls a year later, have had great one on ones w friends and romantic date night dinners - and across all those different vibes the atmosphere here has always been warm, inviting, and the candles lit low. (Decor is great / lighting great for photos!) We met the owner (Harzam?) and his friends on our most recent Saturday night, and they even treated us to a round. Thank you! We love this place and hope it stays forever! Good places like this are hard to find!

    This review is only for the 2 amazing cocktails we ordered at this place, one with a scotch base and the other with Vodka. I dont remember the names of either, but they were listed as a daily special at the bar, and both drinks had lime and cayenne pepper in it. They tasted absolutely delicious and had some serious punch in it.

    After coming here with a party of 4, it was quite clear that the place offered an atmosphere that set the mood for a nice evening dinner. The octopus, mac and cheese, hummus and avocado hummus, as well as the shrimp were all well prepared and had sizable portions. The Greek salad however was exceptional. The main course option of the brochette also did not disappoint. All desert options looked very delicious, and we opted for the dulce de leche and tiramisu. Overall a great dining experience with ambient lighting, amicable service, and delicious food.

    Balzem in NYC is like discovering a Mediterranean treasure. The dining experience is simply wonderful, with dishes that truly embody the flavors of the region. The place has this inviting vibe that adds to its charm, making it a cozy spot for diners. Its a hidden gem worth exploring for a taste of the Mediterranean in the heart of the city.

    Hard to say how much I loved this place! Located in one of the nicest areas of SoHo. The atmosphere in the evening is so cozy in here, reminding me of some of my favorite spots in Paris. The service was amazing. Had the best rosé in a long time. Id described their food as Mediterranean-american fusion cuisine which does not lack creativity (try the Truffle mac n cheese).
