Chef Einat Admony opened Balaboosta to share her vivacious personal food, full of sun-drenched inspiration from Israel and her family’s Persian and Yemenite background. A reboot of the original Balaboosta, this new incarnation (now at 611 Hudson Street) is the next expression of Admony’s modern Israeli concept. Partner and husband Stefan Nafziger presents a curated list of top-notch wines from the region’s most ambitious winemakers. Beginning with Taïm (serving arguably the city’s best falafel at their five locations,) and now with Balaboosta and their new North African couscous restaurant Kish-Kash, the couple brings the best of Israeli spirit from their hearts to your table.
Imaginative takes on Middle Eastern home cooking fill the menu at this popular storefront space.

Great atmosphere and friendly service. The whipped feta starter was incredible. Very helpful with gluten-free options for one of our party. Thought the mains were delicious, but maybe not quite as much food as I’d hoped for. Got the skirt steak and chip, and boy did it come with one (beautifully presented) chip. No complaints on taste, but just not a mind-blowing 5 star experience. Still very worth trying out.

Came here for my birthday dinner yesterday evening and left quite satisfied. The venue was cozy with unique interiors & modern design. The food was delicious and quite distinctive from traditional ethnic cuisines – I loved the fried olives, the whipped feta with complimentary pita, which was really fresh / chewy and not stale like some more casual joints. The *complimentary* cauliflower had a great flavor and texture. The star of the night was the brick chicken (flavorful / tender) although I wish I tried the branzino with the veggies on top. Next time, I will get the branzino and the tahini creme brulee! I would be so excited to come back.
Shout out to the Yalla cocktail and the Yarok mocktail which were both really refreshing.

A high end restaurant in the west village featuring mainly meditteranean dishes. Started with good hummus & bread, great cauliflower & artichoke, tender skirt steak and split a crispy tahdig rice.
The only dish I didn’t like was the Yemeni soup dumpling, while it looked ok, could already tell something’s wrong when I grabbed one; skin is thick like a bun, very little soup and lacked flavor.

All the food had tons of flavor. There were no dull bites.
Our server mark was , patient , enthusiastic and all around phenomenal. He suggested some items to which we bought all of them and were extremely satisfied. Thanks Mark
The calamari was probably my favorite with its unique touch of bacon
Bacon.
Fried olives 10/10, mind blown. Must get
Oh the pita comes out very fresh and is a must get with the hummus. Usually hummus is ok for me but this time I was addicted with its touch of spice.

Exceptional dining experience here. My friends and I shared the whipped feta, fried olives, eggplant, dumplings, pappardelle pasta and wagyu kebabs. You can tell the food is made with love and some serious flavor. I hope to dine again and try more. Thank you for the incredible service Tommy and Meredith.

If I could leave 6 stars I would. The food was so amazing. Fried olives and labneh, hummus, and chicken shawarma. They also gave us extra baharat seasoning which was amazing!! Vibes were great, service was fast and we will definitely be returning for dinner!

Everything was wonderful. This is a bustling and hip local restaurant with big city flair. The menu was fun and the wine list interesting in a very good way. Each and every dish we tried was perfectly balanced and super tasty. We had 3 appetizers and 3 small starters to share and 4 entrées so most of the menu. Our favorites were the whipped feta and hummus with the best bread ever. The sea bass, pasta and short ribs were all excellent as well. The inside can be a bit loud at the bar but conversations were not hampered and everyone was having a great Saturday night.

Amazing vibes and food in an awesome neighborhood with quality personable service that makes you feel at home! Don’t sleep on the hummus or feta both of which come with amazing home made pita bread. 4 people? Get both along with 2 orders of the kebabs and an order of the soup dumplings and you’ll be ready to wrap up with a skirt steak cooked to perfection. Don’t judge if you think that’s too much food – we all skipped lunch – no regrets!

This spot has such cozy vibes. It’s small in the inside but has unique dishes and AMAZING dessert!
For apps, would definitely recommend their eggplant! Unlike anything I’ve had, it’s sweet and sticky with a harissa glaze, topped with crispy shallots, and severed on a generous bed of thick tahini sauce (that tastes so nutty and creamy!).
Their dessert offerings are also amazing but their special, the Baklava Bread Pudding hits the spot! Crunchy, sweet with honey, and moist- this cake is the PERFECT way to finish off the meal!
