“WOWWWWW WOWWWWW WOWWWWW WHERE DO I START FROM. I was here last night with my friend for the New York Knicks vs San Antonio Spurs game 4 watch party & OMG THE PLACE WAS GOING WILD after that comeback & even though I was jetlag, this place woke me up. The food here is delicious & very special with very nice & professional staff. Shout out to Noya & Danielle our waitresses for their excellent, friendly, hardworking professional service. It felt like wow THIS is the place to party & when the staff ran out of something we ordered & they closed the kitchen, the desert was on the house which also speaks volumes of the service here. There's something veeeery special about this place from the Food, Staff, Atmosphere, & the crowd. If you ever find yourself in the area & want professional service & great food & Atmosphere THIS IS THE PLACE TO COME. I'll definitely want to come here again & this was one of the best nights of my life & one I'll cherish & never forget ❤️ ♥️. THANK YOU VEEEERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING HERE & KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB. DEFINITELY DESERVES THE 5 STAR RATING.”
“Our family enjoyed a lovely Mother's Day lunch. The food was delicious. The atmosphere inviting. Our primary waitress NOYAH was patient, polite, with a strong work ethic. She was eager to please and and especially made our experience "child friendly" with our toddler member. The other two waiters were knowledgeable and friendly. I am sorry I did not get their names. I highly recommend this restaurant and in fact my family members and I are already talking about our next visit.”
“We had such a wonderful experience here! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality in every dish. The staff was attentive and welcoming without being overwhelming, which made the whole meal feel relaxed and enjoyable. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to!”
“Came here for my birthday and it was SO MUCH FUN! When you walk in, the guys at the front door are ensuring safety for the restaurant by checking reservations, ID’s & providing stamps to come in and out. The staff are moving dishes and drinks a million miles a minute while still providing legendary service. We started off with wine(Pinot Grigio) and it was refreshing. Then we had A LOT of Arak shots to prepare our stomach for the feast we were about to enjoy followed by our own selection. I had their margarita, so good i had to order 2 more after this(with a side of water to balance it out if you know you know). Then came meal time: The fish was delicious and well seasoned. The salad/hummus is top tier, super fresh. The schnitzel alongside the mashed potatos is their absolute gem of an item to try, really really good. The chicken sausage was peppery and flavorful, delicious in every way you can imagine. After the meal(and even throughout the course) everyone in the restaurant is dancing and enjoying the vibe. I mean, it IS and Israeli restaurant so they will be vibing here by any means(Ack Shelli Ata Khayav le'nasot!!) 🇮🇱 Service so good even the workers will stop what they’re doing to join in on the Dabke or Hora hahaha By means of decent I am 🇩🇴 🇪🇸 & i love this culture. Glad I chose Malka for my birthday.”
“Stumbled upon Malka while looking for a bar/lounge to end the night and was truly impressed! They were very welcoming from the hostess to the bartender and manager. We weren’t really hungry but did get some tahini, hummus, focaccia and challah for bar snacks. The ambiance was so sexy. Would be a great spot for date night! Thanks to Elle for her amazing bartending skills, hospitality and recs! It was truly a great way to end the night in Dumbo!”
