Mesiba is one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time. I took friends who were visiting from out of town here and we had the best time—we didn’t want to leave. The food was delectable, the service friendly, the ambience funky and cool, and the vibes immaculate. When I visited it was the fourth night of Hannukah and the whole restaurant sang together, which in these trying times was very healing for my soul. This is a new favorite of mine that I plan to return to again and again.

A wonderful find in SoHo. We ordered the falafel platter and hummus to start which was so good. It was a perfect amount for four of us. The lamb was perfectly cooked and the ravioli was super yummy. Kate was our server and bartender and she was great! Very attentive and made a mean espresso martini ❤️
