Wow. Great experience! The food, the service, the ambiance - it was all so good. We had a little taste of almost everything and nothing disappointed. So happy to support an Israeli business and will definitely be back!

The food was absolutely delicious & what I loved the most is that every dish is full of flavors. They also have a huge variety of drinks including refreshing mock-tails and coffee. It's a hidden jam. Will definitely come back again .

My friend and I had dinner at Kubeh last weekend and really enjoyed our meal. We shared the fried pea kubeh (sweet pea, dill, potato and garlic) to start. She had the sabich pita (eggplant, hummus, hard-boiled egg, amba, cabbage, tahini, served with paprika fries), which she enjoyed. I had one of their kubeh soups (you gotta order the namesake, right?). Kubeh is a family of dishes (many varieties) of Jewish Iraqi/Assyrian origin, consisting of filled dumplings in a broth. The most common variety I've had is a semolina dumpling filled with meat in a beet broth/soup. So that's what I ordered at Kubeh - their Kurdish Siske (dough filled with slow cooked beef) in their Selek broth (beet, celery, cilantro, beet greens). (If that's not your thing, they also offer Iraqi Vegetable kubbeh - filled with mushrooms - and two other broths. Their Hamusta broth is made from swiss chard, zucchini, lemon and their Persian Chicken Rice Soup from chickpea, carrot, cardamom.) I love the kubeh: delicious, warming, filling! We had a couple of glasses of wine as well (their wine list is varied and interesting), and we enjoyed the ones we ordered. The service was good, and the restaurant is beautiful and comfortable. Overall, it was a meal I really enjoyed and would be happy to repeat.

(Overall: B) - Kubeh is a new discovery of mine from the Michelin guide, and I was quite pleased with the quality of food overall, although perhaps there could be some minor fine tuning to elevate these dishes to five star worthy. I found the atmosphere to be rather quiet and of reasonable comfort, and the staff to be of reasonable demeanor as well. (Muhammara: B) - This roasted red pepper dip shines with elegance and is paired with a little bit of oil, walnut, and pomegranate to elevate. A $12 for a pita and dip, this does speak to the west village pricing for food, but I do appreciate that there is progress toward flavor development. I wish the pomegranate flavor was a little more pronounced, and perhaps some flake salt would elevate the taste a long way. (Lamb Shank: B) - This lamb shank is braised well and incredibly tender, and the sour cherry adds a nice contrast to the dish. I do feel that the sauce was rather sugar forward and could benefit significantly from additional saline, acidity, or even some textural components. The basmati is nice and fluffy, although I found it to be a bit undercooked. Food: +1 Presentation: +1 Price: -1 Atmosphere: E Service: E Menu: +1 Overall: 4 stars Insta/Yelp/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats

I went there hoping to get an "ol' reliable": hummus and gluten free bread. Imagine my delight when I saw the Holiday Lunch specials - several variations on GF potato latkes! Latkes, apple sauce, labneh and mint tea! All were excellent. What a treat!

I needed a brunch spot in West Village but wanted something more flavorful than the dime a dozen Italian/American egg spots that litter the hood. Enter Kubeh. It's all the yums and all the vibes. We shared the delicious Fried Kubeh to start. I got the Norwegian Potato Latkes & Eggs (yeah, I know, eggs....but with spices!), which was a huge plate brimming with all the good stuff the USFDA tells you to eat. For drinks, the Rimona is a nice antioxidant concoction to get your nutes in, and the Call Your Mother will cure your hangover with more fruity, fizzy ethanol.

A really nice restaurant e great Israeli food ! We decided to come for brunch on a Sunday and tried a few dishes : 1) borekas - it was ok. One medium size unit for 8$ seem pretty expensive to me . It was just an ok cheese borekas and was lacking the required crispiness. 3.7/5 2) halumi cheese with honey - a really nice dish . Again fairly small but the cheese was excellent and the combination the honey was pretty good . 4.1/5 3) shakshuka- really loved it ! It was spicier than usual which I loved and also came in with two types of schug (red and green) which was also yummy. It was served with one small Israeli pita (ideally should come with challah) . 4.2/5 All together the atmosphere was great and the decor is really nice . The menu has other interesting options like malawach or jachnun. We will be back to try our other options from the menu .

Kubeh serves amazing Middle Eastern dishes refined to a fabulous fine dining experience without loosing authenticity. They offer a three course prix fixe which is an excellent opportunity to taste a selection of dishes at a great price. Highly recommend the shawarma. The chicken was incredibly juicy. There's a nice selection of cocktails as well, with the Walnut Manhattan being a particularly good spin on an old favorite. The staff is exceptionally friendly (very single one greeted us walking in!) and very attentive with their service. There's bar seating towards the Avenue at the main entrance and the main dining room opening onto 11th St is spacious and not very loud despite the open layout.

Wonderful middle eastern option within the west village! I came here in a Saturday night and was incredibly happy that I did! Food: we got two Kubeh dishes- one as an appetizer, which was the pea kubeh! I loved it! The tahini it came with was delicious. We also got the mushroom kubeh in the vegetarian broth which was very unique and good. The squash and feta was my favorite dish- perfect for a refreshing appetizer. We got the chicken dinner special which was a chicken leg with a pomegranate sauce and rice! It was good but not a taste profile I enjoy. Drinks: we got the flight for our drinks! It was fun to experience the spirits from the different regions. I do not love the anis - so these were not to my liking, but if you do - this is a fun way to try a few different options Price: reasonable for quality Ambience: I loved the vibe! It felt elegant and peaceful! There is also outdoor seating which is nice Service: decent, I found one of our waitresses rushing us but overall good
