Excellent place for a quick casual lunch. Super delicious and friendly staff. I haven't been downstairs for a show yet but recommend the cafe upstairs.

Amazing food and vibes!! The eclectic decor, friendly staff, and cleanliness are key highlights. There is also something for everyone as far as drinks, quiet café vibes,ive music downstairs, and a bar/lounge.

I adore this eccentric spot. They serve real food that hasn't been over processed. We order the salmon salad and couldn't believe how filling and hearty it was. The lady servers were polite and welcoming. We were allowed to sit with our dog inside a special area where other dog owners were enjoying their meal. I couldn't be happier with the food, the service and pet accommodations. This is truly a special place.

A truly amazing spot in Harlem, great for brunch, lunch and dinner as well as to go for the live music or comedy and just get a drink. We've tried just about everything on the menu and you really can't go wrong, but our favorites are the salmon salad, the falafel platter , and labneh.

Wonderful service and beautiful hipster ambiance. Very clean! Ordered the baklava and it was beautiful but a little too sweet for me.

Lovely food! Lovely service! Nice, cute feel. We stumbled upon this place after a nearby place had too long of a wait and I'm so glad we did. Lots of choice, and all reasonably priced. Only slight negatives were the long wait (it seemed like they were a little understaffed so might just be one of those days), and some of the falafel tasted a bit burnt. Would certainly return and recommend!

Delicious food & coffee with nice, accommodating staff. If you love a chill ambiance this is a great choice. One star off solely because the food takes a while to come out. Will be going back! Edit: Went today and the food came out quickly, so I have increased the review score

I have been coming to Silvana for years for live music but this was my first time eating there. Food - 3.5/5 in nyc it's tough competition for middle eastern. The cauliflower was AMAZING we ate it up. We shared the chicken plate which was enough for 2 people but hit or miss. The chicken itself was well-seasoned and yummy. The babaganoush was nothing to write home about and the fluffy potatoes were too greasy. Next time I want to try the Mujaddara because it looked really good. Drinks 4/5 - we got 3 cocktails total and they were STRONG, $15 but you get what you pay for. My friend returned the Arak Limonana (green drink with anise) because it was too strong. I had the spicy sababa tequila which was strong but palatable. They also made us a mojito. Later in the night I got the chamomile rose tea while we listened to music. I love that the bar serves tea even downstairs! They gave me honey as well. Service 5/5 - The service was excellent our waitress was super helpful giving recommendations and making sure our dishes didn't have cumin (food allergy.) Price: not cheap but reasonable for NYC.

The food is excellent, however, the service is quite slow and efficient, hence the reason for four stars. I think the best item here is their falafel plate, which comes with four big falafel Pattie's on a bed of tahini and several small salads and hummus, along with a choice of 2 sides. For $14, this is a great value for an absolutely delicious snack. We always get the fluffy potato chips which are really flavorful along with their fattoush salad. Another great item is the babaganoush. This roasted, eggplant dip is incredibly smoky, and the smoked paprika on top gives it great flavor. The pita they serve with it is extremely soft and fresh as well. We have tried other dishes in the past, like their cauliflower appetizer, but it just misses the mark. Honestly, just come here if you want the two aforementioned dishes.
