Ahi tuna nachos , beef borscht & truffle fries are essential for late night chalkboard brainstorms til 4am. The seats overlooking the Comedy Cellar are my fave spot for people watching . Love this place

The feta salad sandwich is my go to. The horseradish mashed potatoes are sooo good. Inexpensive and quick service . One of my regular spots in the neighborhood .

Lenny Gallo

Nice atmosphere and reasonably priced food for this area of town . Can't go wrong with their burgers .

Kevin Weise

It’s fun to draw with chalk on the tables and the comedy cellar is right downstairs giving the place a super cool vibe. The food was good too and not all that expensive . Glad I dropped in!

Marell Ellis

The wings !!! I've gotten them almost every time and they are my favorite in the city ! They have a really unique flavor that makes you want more

Amanda Rella

Fun spot for live music while waiting to get into the Comedy Cellar . The musicians are very talented and pull of some amazing cover songs.

TAMMY GIA

Mozzarella sticks and mac & cheese ! Yum! Everything on the menu is amazing, good sizes portions and well prices. Staff is super helpful :)

Jasmine Mehrabi

Good meeting spot before comedy cellar . Love the chalkboard table . But def don’t order nachos here, most of the cheese is melted into the plate.

Pooja Sharma

Best place to run into famous, infamous, upcoming comedian. Just ran into Aziz Ansari & Vir Das

Joseph Mwamba

I'm a fan of the Mediterranean food , and also a fan of seeing the Comedy Cellar talent come up for some food too.

Venice Fontana

I've been coming here for 35 years. They stopped making Shawerma .... WHAT? That's what everyone comes for. We ordered meatloaf , shish kabob & nachos . We were very disappointed for the first time

Falafel platter :-) just above the Comedy Cellar this restaurant is warm homey and it actually feels funny in here.

Naveen

Love this place. Great food, perfect place for cheap dinner before show around the corner at Minetta Lane Theater .

Sophia Liu

Hummus plate is finger-licking good! Just not your chalk stained fingers of course.

Alvaro de Souza

Waiters are awesome and orders don't take long. Fair price and good place to hangout with friends.

Murat Arslan

Get the mix grill, lamb and chicken , rice and salad ... Hot apple cider with a cinnamon stick to drink.. You wont be disappointed.

Luke Thorn

Great café above a great comedy venue. Good prices and decent food. Would go back there again.

Aida Ahani

Chaplin movie , lights and Hummus in Mediterranean dish ????; all f them were amazing

Julian Tamayo

I miss the shawarma , but the wings/bleu cheese combo is my favorite in the city .

Lily F

Nachos , lamb kebabs , and Israeli salad are classic delicious staples.

Great spot for Mediterranean food to cap off a night at the Comedy Cellar downstairs.

Buffalo wings , Charlie Chaplin, and mac n' cheese . Just try not to get too carried away with writing on the chalkboard tabletops!

Margot G

The chalk board tables are so much fun! The sangria is cheap and delicious! The Israeli salad is very good.

aurore quercy

Great variety of Irish/spanish/mexican coffee , best place to hang out on a rainy sunday afternoon

Elysia Mann

Classic comedy crew hangs out here. Oh and the falafel plate is excellent.

C O

Great atmosphere, our server was awesome, and the nachos are fantastic drunk food. Going to the bathroom downstairs was tricky.

Chelle ????

The chicken kabobs are super tasty. They are moist/tender and marinated in yogurt . The hummus plate is also pretty solid...

ƄƑıƞe

always good but even better late night to get your falafel fix!

Brian Konash

Beware going to the bathroom . The code to get downstairs is 137. You will exit onto a live set in the comedy club downstairs and have to brave taunts to get to the bathroom in back. Can be unpleasant.

Nancy Rispoli

Been coming here for 24 years - the best. House dressing should be sold in the market .

Namitha Gubbi

Best falafel and apple cider ! Order with your sauce on the side to avoid a mess :)

Kellan E

Slate tables with chalk and Charlie Chaplin on continuous loop keeps the toddler happy

Victoria Zinzalian-Smith

Ask for the Cold Borscht soup ! It's not on the menu but they have it and it is to die for!

Angela

Yummy foods and lovely people. Fill your belly then catch a great comedy show downstairs at the Comedy Cellar ... hilarious comics !!!
