Dagon

An Israeli IPA ? who knew ! We intended to order 5 separate entrees per normal, but the appetizers looked so enticing we couldn't help but order 4 of them, after that we weren't that hungry and only ordered 1 entree plus some wines and I had two of the excellent IPA's (look for the sloth) they let us eat everything family style and we didn't finish everything so took a little bit home for later, the portions were incredibly generous and we did not intend to eat (essentially) apps for entrees but we weren't really paying attention to how much food was coming. Anyway the bill was shockingly reasonable for a NYC dinner and us sitting for a long time. What a gem ! this place earns a "hidden gem" rating from me. Fun, wine, beer & food, family and a great price, thanks Dagon !

So read good things about this place is was so eager to try this place that I was willing to snag a resi for an outside table in 30 degree weather. As for the pictures it looked like enclosed area, thought they would have powerful heat lamps like other restaurants the heat lamps outside barely gave any heat anyways that is on me for not asking questions before hand.Menu looked interesting.Tried trio fo 3 appschicken liver mouseeggplanttakingcomes with flatbreadand sabich eggplantThose items were excellentThen it started to go downhillon to main course my gf gor schnitzel it was oversalted and nothing special. Fries were also way too salty.For me got the crispy lamb, it looked like a huge portion on the photos but I didn't realize there was a huge bone in the middle. The lamb was tasty but the rice with raisins underneath it was way too sweet and was kind of nasty. Unfortunately this dish looked way better than it tasted and fell short gor $45 it was not worth it.The halva dessert with the ice cream was fantastic For me i think it was ok for 1 time but fell short of expectations would not go back.

Israeli food is one of my ultimate favorite cuisines and Dagon has been on my list for ages - finally ventured up to the UWS to check it out. Ambience: went here for dinner and it's super pretty. Nice ambient lighting. Tables were kinda tight and the gaps were pretty narrow but it's a nice dinner spot (and I imagine a brunch spot too)Food: so good. What we got:1. 3 mezze: got the spicy feta, the beets, and the artichoke olive dip. Came with the flatbread. So good. The spicy feta was acidic and zingy. The beets came with a yoghurt labneh situation at the bottom and some tender beef tongue cubes. The artichoke olive dip was also good. The bread was killer. Warm with lots of zaatar2. Charred octopus: perfectly cooked octopus with some squid ink sauce at the bottom and these good rice cakes at the side 3. Cauliflower: love a good cauliflower dish and these were yum 4. Lamb: so tender. So good. The pilaf was killer with the dates and other dried fruit. Lovely. Overall; Dagon's probably one of the best Israeli / Mediterranean places I've been to in NY. Would come back to try their other stuff tbh

First time to Dagon. Enjoyed what I had -- although I will say it's a bit heavy on seafood (I'm allergic, so can't enjoy any of it).I had Agu's Tunisian Cigar to start -- big fan. Then I shared a side of the flash friend brussels sprouts. That was more than enough for me! Other folks in my party had main courses -- the beef brisket was a big hit. If I'm able to go back, I'll probably try the crispy roasted lamb, which another friend had and really enjoyed.Affirming what someone else wrote -- especially on the weekend, nearby street parking was found easily, and it's not far from the subway or bus stops. Enjoy!

Came here with my husband's family. Excellent for groups, sharable dishes - savory, impeccable flavors. Highly recommend the dumplings and pull-a-part bread with labneh and za-aatar you'll be craving it! Everything was amazing but those were stand-out dishes. Service was great. Cozy atmosphere.

I came for restaurant week with a friend and the food was great. The ambiance was also fantastic and the service was quick and attentive ( i dropped my fork twice whoops and got a new one both time although i did have to flag someone down). I started with the hummus which was a huge portion and pretty good but nothing to write home about. My friend got the fried cauliflower which was much more impressive. My main was the salmon which was suuuuper rare (just how i like it) - they did notify us that this would be the case. The flavors were also quite fantastic. Clean plate club. I was honestly sooo disappointed by the dessert listing on the restaurant week menu - they ran out of the kanfe which seems like a crime so we got the milk and cookies which were fine but on the website it says the restaurant week menu offers other greek desserts and they didn't have that available for us. :( . I was honestly so looking forward to dessert and was sad. overall really good food

The food is great. You will not go wrong with any of the mezze or the pull apart bread before your meal. The restaurant is full of bright colors from the artwork to the bottles and classes at the bar. The noise level is really loud so it can be hard to have a conversation at your table. They are often busy so it can be a wait for your order to be taken but once it is they do a great job of getting your food out quickly.

Was hoping to come for Restaurant Week that's why I made a reservation but unfortunately they only had it from Monday through Friday which is a bit weird because I thought Sunday brunch were included as well. Anyways, decided to still come anyways but I will say that I'm a bit disappointed about the brunch. I will definitely come back and give it another shot because of the excellent reviews, but definitely for dinner this time.- Chicken Schnitzel - Was not impressed with this dish. The chicken was quite dry and flavorless. Wish they had some sauce for the chicken other than ketchup and mayonnaise which was more for the fries. I will say that the fries was quite good and I appreciated the cucumber/onion salad as well.- Poached Egg Khachapuri - This was definitely my more favorite dish out of the two. I actually really apprecaited the mushroom ragout on top which went well with the bread that was a bit thick and dense. The poached egg melting all over it was heavenly as well.- Complimentary Bread - +1 star for the variety of complimentary breads they had. Although none of them blew me out of the park - they had cornbread, chocolate croissant, and bread rolls - the variety was awesome and they both came with butter and strawberry jam.Overall, not sure if I would come back again for brunch, but definitely for dinner and especially restaurant week.

Dagon has been on our list for a while and I am thrilled we finally tried it. The beau and I bellied up to one of the two bars and began our culinary adventure. The place was bustling on a summer Saturday night. Our server was so great, making recommendations and allowing us to sample wines before making a selection. We started with the figs (a special) amd neither of us loved them. The smoky, sticky, sweet preparation just didn't hit for us. Everything else we had was excellent. You must have the lavash which comes out piping hot and fresh. The Tunisian cigar was light and flavorful. I could have eaten two of these! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the pickled cabbage and apple butter really elevated this dish. We will definitely be back to try all the other menu items we wanted but just couldn't pack in. Great spot with a hip vibe!

Pretty good! The interior is chic and it has a good energy without being super loud.We enjoyed the mezze, although they weren't standout compared to similar restaurants in NYC. The fish main was very good and the cocktails were nice. It was also fun to try an Israeli wine and the wine list is overall well-done.A nice place to check out!
