Reviews for Pera Soho in New York, NY

Great place with beautiful outdoor seating. Better to have a reservation for busy evenings. We got grilled pita, assorted hummus... and herb fries. All of them tasted good, the hummus variety and taste was amazing. Very limited menu for lunch times and a biton expensive side. Read more

I tried- ???? caramelized apple French toast - so fluffy and perfectly sweet! ????spicy whipped eggplant yogurt dip and... Muhammara with pita chips - these dips and chips were highly addictive and we had to order a second round. The Muhammara wasbetter than the yogurt dip though ??????????? ???? shakshuka - this dish was not really “authentic” but I did like themelted cheese on top. I wish they served bread with it. This is a cute spot and their outdoor dining was lovely. A lot ofinteresting options on the menu and would be back. Read more

My all time favorite for summer months. They have the most beautiful outdoor, you get the view of the Empire State. And they are... very accessible from the train. We paid $580 for 11 people, so it’s kinda economical. The food is so good, especially theappetizers. For vegetarians I’d say they don’t have many options in entree, we literally ordered everything in the menu.I’ve been there a few times. They have very few cocktails more wine. I’d say read the menu before you go if you are a pickyeater or drinker Read more

Beautiful restaurant at with amazing ambience. If the weather is nice, I would highly recommend getting outdoor seating; it... feels like you’re sitting in a little garden, away from the city bustle. The dessert was the best part of the meal (the saladsare pretty small). Read more

The vibes on the inside/outdoor patio setup are amazing. I really felt like we were in Europe! I went here on a date but there... were lots of big dinner and birthday crews too. The drinks were great and 3/4 of the dishes we got were amazing. The gnocchi waspretty bland and very small for how much it cost, it didn’t taste like there was a dash of salt in the dish. However thephyllo rolls, wings and patatas bravas were out of this world. The peach spritz was so refreshing, as was the cucumber cooler.The margarita was a bit too sweet. Would probably come back for a birthday or something! Read more

I went here for happy hour. The place was busy but the ambiance was chill and not too loud. They have a great outdoor area which... I would highly recommend taking advantage of while the weather is nice. The drinks were really good, I am personally fan oftheir blood orange martini. Beware that during happy hour each person can only order one drink at a time and you must finishyour drink before ordering another one. For appetizers we tried a little bit of everything. The phyllo was delicious andreminded me a bit of mozzarella sticks. The meatballs were tender and well spiced (although there’s only 2). The fries are amust if you like french fries, they are topped with dried herbs. But in my opinion, the ABSOLUTE BEST was the smoked eggplantdip. I expected something like baba ghanoush, but their version was creamy and paired with the pita chips absolute heaven. Forthe main dish I had chicken skewers. They were well spiced, tender, and juicy. I really I would recommend this place. Be awarethat the staff is not exactly the warmest, but they are respectful and get your orders right. Read more

Pera is such a beautiful restaurant with great ambiance and service. I came for happy hour on a Friday. All of the drinks we... ordered were very strong, I really liked the margarita! The happy hour appetizers were great! Recommendations: margarita or thespritzer for drinks eggplant dip and the kofte meatball were my favorite appetizers. For entree, we got the cavatelli which wascooked to perfection. Great service here too! It was a little cold at our table with the draft, I’d recommend to grab a seatby the bar side of the restaurant, but other than that I had a great happy hour at Pera! Read more

I’ve come here a couple of times and had a great experience. The staff is helpful and on the ball. They have both indoor and... outdoor seating but we sat inside. When we came it was pretty quiet so we were seated immediately. Recommend getting areservation if you come in the summer cos they get pretty busy. We tried the sirloin shashlik, the salmon, the muhmaara andeggplant dips, and for dessert the kunefe and the chocolate mousse. Everything was excellently prepared and delectable- I wouldorder all of these options again. I will say service was a little slow but that may have been since the place wasn’t superfull and there were less staff. However people seem to fill others shoes so we really didn’t have much of an issue. The spaceoutdoors looks like it’s made for sharing - larger tables in the corners and some smaller ones in the middle. The inside hasmore seating for 2 and 4 people. Will be back for sure. Read more
