High end restaurant, good food selection. Only 3 steaks on the menu are halal and 3 more are Kosher, but they are delicious in addition to the many sides and appetizers. It\\\'s quite an expensive restaurant (the cheapest halal steak is over $70) but a good restaurant for special occasions.

Where else can you get halal wagyu steaks? Excellent striploin! 16 ounces of greatness. Crispy on the outside and so tender on the inside. Three steak options plus chicken and lamb chops are halal. Creamed spinach was also excellent. This will be a go to spot each and every time we are in Manhattan

My husband and I went here for the Halal Restaurant Week special. We both ordered the Caesar salad, the 8 oz ribeye with a side of broccoli rabe, the chocolate souffle a la mode, and virgin strawberry mojitos. The meal came with a complimentary bread basket. Our meals were excellent all around. Our steaks were beautifully cooked and rich without being overwhelming. The broccoli rabe was garlicky and a perfect accompaniment to the steak. The Caesar salads were a bit lackluster, mostly due to the croutons being quite salty. The souffle (really more like a chocolate lava cake) was the perfect portion size and a delicious end to the meal. The mojitos were refreshing, albeit pricey ($10 each!). Not including the drinks, the whole meal was $50 each during the Restaurant Week promo, which is a truly amazing deal for the quality of the food we got.\r\n\r\nThe restaurant itself is a nice space, although the lights were a bit too dim. It was upscale without being stuffy (we wore business casual clothing and didn\\\'t feel underdressed, and there were other diners who were dressed even more casually). There is a special section on the menu that lists the available halal steaks, and there are seafood and vegetarian options. Be warned that there is a large, prominent bar in the front of the restaurant. For drinks, we asked if there were any non-alcoholic options and the server gave us several options beyond the standard water/soda. \r\n\r\nWe would come here again, but outside of Halal Restaurant Week the menu items are expensive, so this is definitely more of a special occasion spot.
