Looking to chow down on some Middle Eastern fare? A new spot has you covered. The new arrival to Midtown, called Lamalo, is located in the Arlo NoMad hotel at 11 E. 31st St.
Lamalo is the latest opening from restaurateur Gadi Peleg, who owns Middle Eastern restaurant Nur and the local Breads Bakery chain of babka bakeries.
This new casual eatery specializes in fresh-baked Israeli flatbread called laffa, which it serves family style with a rotating assortment of mezze — savory spreads, salads, dips and veggies. Daily mezze spreads are available for $25 per person. Other dishes include grilled whole fish, grilled octopus and slow-roasted short rib. The drink list includes beer, wine and cocktails. Lamalo also serves Israeli-style breakfast seven days a week.
The new spot has gotten off to a solid start thus far, with a four-star rating out of 29 reviews on Yelp.
Jenny W., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on July 3, wrote, "I'm a huge fan of the concept here. You sit down, and before you even get a menu, you're presented with a spread of mezze and the awesome bread."
Yelper Michelle A. added, “The food here is amazing."
Head on over to check it out: Lamalo is open from 7–11 a.m. and 5:30-10 p.m. daily.
