Port Sa'id

“Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. You can really tell the kitchen cares about quality and presentation. The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional, making us feel comfortable the entire time without being overbearing. The atmosphere was just as impressive: clean, warm, stylish, and relaxing with great energy throughout the restaurant. Everything about this place exceeded expectations. One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!”

“Had such a good time! Food was lovely and all the staff was really nice. We definitely will be back in our next visit in NYC ❤️”

“If you want that fun, laid-back vibe, Port Sa’id is it. Great music, packed tables, amazing shareable food, and nonstop energy! Come hungry, stay late, and expect to order “just one more dish” at least twice. Best vibe and setup for birthday’s dinner celebration for big or small groups.”

“Amazing decor with a custom-made sound system and live DJ that sets a great vibe. The Middle Eastern sharing plates were very tasty: the beetroot carpaccio, bread salad, fresh tahini, and hummus were absolute highlights. However, the roasted sweet potato was a bit of a low light, and the meal overall lacked the final finesse for a full five stars. Still a great spot for a special night out with very friendly staff. Highly recommend.”

“Not sure I am 100% sold on this ultra-trendy place packed with Millennials. There definitely was a vibe between the DJ spinning, hustling servers, packed bar, crowded waiting area, open kitchen, crammed tables, etc. However, we could barely hear ourselves and have a proper conversation over the extremely loud music. My favorite part of the food was the presentation. It was so well thought out. We found the food to be either too salty, too buttery, too bland or over kill with tahini. We were a table of three and ordered based off the servers suggestions. Hummus Gargarim (standard), Leeks (bland), Lima Beans (mush), Pencil Asparagus (butter bath), Minute Plate (spicy), Chrime Branzino (actually liked this dish but neither of my friends cared for it). We were hoping to try the eggplant but they were out of it. The dishes are served as they are finished not together as a meal. Service was good except we had to keep asking for serving utensils. Surprised to receive the bill with a 20% gratuity already added since we were only 3 people. However they consider that a large party. Reservations are a must and time slot is not guaranteed. We waited an extra 20 minutes or so past our time. There were other tables who had to wait longer. I would give the place a second try for their Jazz brunch as long as the music is at a reasonable level. They have a side listening bar which is small, intimate and seriously a great vibe with stellar cocktails. That I would give 5 stars.”
