Kashkaval Garden

Went on a cloud and blistery night and was blown away when I was walked to my table. It was in a lovely corner, all decorated, low lighting and beautiful ambiance. I felt like i was in a ski chalet. Not a large room but our table was situated in the corner where it felt intimate.Ordered a glass of lovely wine and an appetizer sampler. I have to say that we were in heavy debate on whether we should do the fondue instead but then decided we must come back and try the fondue. We ordered the hummus, babaganush, sweet potato hummus and one other. The pita bread was huge and came out warm . So good! We all loved it.Next came the main course and as a vegetarian felt like they had amazing options. I got the king oyster skewers, falafel skewers and mushroom bulgar. My friends got the octopus and falafel skewers and my other friend the grain bowl. We all loved what we had and were stuffed and couldn't finish our meals or order dessert.Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Such a unique + cute spot! There aren't many restaurants around the city that specialize in fondue, so its definitely worth the visit for a fun and different meal experience! I made a last minute reservation for a friday night at 730, but we got there a half hour early and they were able to seat us right away which was such a nice surprise! Our waiter was so nice and enthusiastic and really contributed to the great experience we had! He brought us to this really nice cozy back room which made for such an inviting ambience. We ordered the truffle fondue & the classic fondue, along with baquette and crudites to dip into the fondue. We finished every last bit of the fondue and enjoyed every bite. The truffle fondue was definitely our favorite and would recommend for all truffle lovers! I didn't think that this would fill me up for a whole meal, but it actually did! We also both ordered wine, and I loved that they had 3 different serving sizes to choose from; you don't see this very often, and was a nice alternative from having to order 2, especially since the 9 ounce pour was almost equivalent to 2 glasses! Lastly, we ordered the baklava which wasn't my favorite, but I think it was because i was expecting your traditional baklava. Their version was definitely different and was a lot fruitier tasting.

The cheese was delicious, perfectly stinky and not too salty. The Veg was not that fresh, I saw brown spots on the cauliflower and the broccoli looked like it hadn't been washed. The grapes with cheese were an interesting combination and I was pleasantly surprised. For the grilled skewers, stick with the chicken. The lamb skewer was dry and tough. The side dishes with the skewers were not very good.Ambiance was cute. I went with 3 others and found that it was challenging to speak with those seated across the table and ended up speaking mostly with my friend directly next to me.Service was fine.

The ambiance is quite nice, welcoming and rustic here!There are good vegetarian options.We went with platter, tapas (choice of 6) and garden skewers.The peppadews are amazing!!! So fresh and flavorful - the best! We liked the boreks and stuffed grape leaves as well. The stuffed grape leaves were one of the best I have ever had.The dips in tapas were great too - spinach feta is so fresh! Beetroot dip had a bit of sweetness so it was balancing the other dips.The service is great too!

This is such a cozy place that feels like a true neighborhood gem- the vibe is just so friendly and welcoming inside, and we had a really great, friendly server. The food was all really good and very reasonable. Our favorites were the peppadews (SO delicious- we ordered the tasting plate but specifically got another full order of these) and the lamb kofte kebabs, which were incredibly flavorful. I would not recommend the falafel kebabs- they were so hard it literally hurt my teeth to chew them, and I couldn't bite into one of them because it was too hard. Definitely a cute pre-show option!

Their new menu is posted below!!Loved the regular cheese options and just asked to try their most popular dishes. Dessert fondue was great too! We asked our awesome young waiter for recs and he was super helpful. Highly recommend!

We have such a dearth of fondue restaurants in NYC (I know, right?) that I think people's expectations are just lowered. Kashkaval ain't all that.I'm tired so I'll keep this short. The Truffle Fondue lacked truffle flavor. The Assorted Veg & Fruit plate and Charcuterie plates both came with grapes, which was annoying, and cauliflower/broccoli that was way too big. Plus, the meat selection (roasted kielbasa, loukaniko and soujouk) left a lot to be desired (too similar and chewy). And don't bother with drinks--watered down nonsense.

came a few weeks ago on a Saturday for brunch to catch up with a friend and she recommended this spot since she was a regular a few years agowe came at 3pm but they still had their brunch menu so it was nice to have plenty options. we got the hummus sampler to share and i loved this the most. we got an asparagus hummus that was so savory and delicious but truly all were incredible. plus it came with plenty of pitai got the falafel as my main - it was a little dry and bland but i asked for some hot sauce + ate w the hummus and pita and the flavors really helped make it betterwould def recommend!

We had a wonderful lunch of delicious Mediterranean food here! We sat outside in front of the restaurant since we had a dog with us. The waitstaff loved our dog (who is appropriately named Baba Ganoush), and even wanted to get pictures of him to post on social media!Food-wise, we had delicious baba ganoush (of course), beet hummus, dolmas, fresh warm pita bread, skin skewer, and seafood. Everything tasted wonderful. Will have to come back to try the fondue sometime, seeing how other reviews are raving about it.

My rating = 82 (food 63/75, ambiance 7/10, service 12/15). Balkan/Bulgarian restaurant serving small plates, skewers and fondue in Hell's Kitchen. Named after a yellow cheese common to the region. Food was very good, atmosphere was festive. Good for groups. Cocktail and mocktail menu. We had:1. Peppadews (unique-tasting sweet-spicy peppers filled with goat cheese)2. Mini Boreks* (spinach and feta filled pastries) 3. Dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) 4. Kashkaval cheese 5. Hummus with pita 6. Classic fondue (with potatoes, carrots, bread, and kielbasa, loukaniko, and soujouk sausages for dipping)7. Chicken skewer8. Grilled octopus skewer* 9. Baklava* = our favorites (or so I'm told, I don't eat octopus anymore after octopus-teacher movie, even though it's delicious).
