What People Are Saying About Miriam

In Short – Moroccan ceiling sconces cast a soft glow over simple, streamlined tables and the long bar, which is lined with green and blue tiles. The menu spans the Middle East, but you won't find falafel. The inventive Mediterranean fare includes grouper baked in tahini, chicken shwarma with spinach and mango chutney, and lamb kabobs skewered on rosemary stems. Similarly adventurous items, like malabi, an almond and rose water custard, and goat-cheese stuffed figs, are offered for dessert.

tasty food

by miriam12

We ate there last night. The food tasted good, the decor is funky morrocan and the service was fine. They offered half price wine because it was a weekday. Overall it is well priced.

It is nothing fancy or expensive. The wine came and the waitress screwed off the top. I found this surprising . I expected at least a plastic cork.

We would go back.

  • Pros: lots of non-meat options
  • Cons: none really

Best Brunch on 5th Ave

by seesill

Miriam is the best place to go in the neighborhood for low-key yet interesting brunch and dinner. The wine list isn't so bad either, and the staff is great too.

  • Pros: Good cheap wine
  • Cons: Specials don't change often enough

bomb...

by SalahK

Mabye a week ago or so I stopped in at Miriam for some dinner and it was good. I had their specia, which was ground beef stuffed onions with a plum sauce and white rice w/ veggies. It was spectacular, the sauce was mild but added just the right complement. I had a botttle of Bordeaux "Cheatue Fage" which was reccomended and fit perfect. For an appetizer I enjoyed an Artchoke Salad that seemed to be short a few articokes but whatever it was still bomb. But dessert it where it was really at. I usually am dissapointed with dessert menus, but they had a apple and pistachio stuffed filo with vanilla ice scream, need I say more?

  • Pros: All good
  • Cons: All good
