12 Chairs Café

Couldn't get a table at the SoHo location, so we made the trek from Manhattan to try 12 Chairs - and WOW, what a decision that turned out to be! This place absolutely exceeded every expectation. We ordered the tabouli, beets salad, hummus with meat, arayes, and sea bream a la plancha, and every single dish was phenomenal. The tabouli was fresh and perfectly seasoned, the beets salad had incredible depth of flavor, and that hummus with meat was next level - rich, creamy, and satisfying. The arayes were crispy and flavorful, but the real star was the sea bream a la plancha - cooked to absolute perfection with a beautiful char and tender, flaky interior. What I loved most is how healthy everything felt without sacrificing any flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients and prepare eve

Centrally situated in Williamsburg and a really cosy Israeli cafe with inside and outside patio seating (covered and heated). The food was very delicious and reasonably priced. We ordered 4 small plates - babaganoush, falafel in tahina sauce, Labneh and Matboucha (tomato and garlic with hot green peppers) which came with fluffy Pitta. Arayes was a lamb main. The staff were super hospitable and attentive. The main took long to come out but the staff more than made up for it by giving us a complimentary hummus and pitta and half off the main dish. Definitely recommend this place.

I was incredibly excited for shakshuka! The food was really delicious and had an abundance with the additional sides. The water glasses were really small and the volume of the music was way too loud for a breakfast meal. The staff was friendly but a little more aloof than most places.

I didn't plan to have brunch at 12 Chairs but because the place I went, was too hype and ridiculous waiting time so I decided to walk around and I found this restaurant. I'm glad I eat here, I feel like I hit a jackpot. Food is great, nice cocktail, good service. I enjoy watching bartender making some interesting cocktails and the vibe of the restaurant is so welcoming. I saw that they have a section that can fit a big group so it is good for partying too.

Probably the best Israeli restaurant outside of Israel! The food at 12 Chairs is incredible, the atmosphere feels truly authentic, and the whole experience was perfect. Huge shoutout to Adir for the amazing service, so friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to come back!
