“Smell this.”

“Oh my God.”

“Amazing right?”

I attacked the massive mushroom pita, sauce spilling down my chin. Charred, umami, wonderful.

This is Miznon, an Israeli restaurant with several locations across New York City. Founded in Tel Aviv by chef Eyal Shani, it produces some of the best Mediterranean food anywhere.

I ordered the “whole forest” of wild mushrooms in a pita. The cooks used a broad variety of mushrooms, a great way to build flavor in any mushroom dish.

Each mushroom was beautifully caramelized yet retained it’s moisture. I have no idea what the spicy sauce is, but had I been alone, I would’ve licked the tray.

The grilled scallions give the sandwich a little extra kick. It’s wonderful to see veggies given the attention they deserve.

My friend had the lamb kebab. She’s a bit of a picky eater, but the lamb disappeared in a flash.

No one can resist Miznon.

Her lamb came with beautiful grilled vegetables. An ideal compliment to the unctuous meat.

“So, you’re not going to eat that pita?”

“No, it has gluten.”

“Can I have it?”

Miznon’s pitas may be different from those you’ve had before. They are Israeli style – thicker, softer, and pillowy.

I like to fold them up like a slice of pizza and stuff them into my mouth. The tender bread’s mild flavor is also the perfect home for Miznon’s deeply flavorful meats and veggies.

The whole check for 2 people was less than 50 bucks. Good luck finding that anywhere else in New York.

We went to Miznon’s Hudson Yards location, on the mall’s fourth floor. Seating is plentiful and the environment quiet.

Miznon has 3 locations in New York, including the bustling Chelsea Market. Stop in if you want an incredible meal at a great price!
