Best Kosher restaurant in Brooklyn, NY

Adam Hakimian

The kosher version of a 1950’s Italian supper club. Waiters in white suits cater to your every question & need (4 different waiters checked in on our table). Decor is open-hall old fashioned wood paneling, mirrors, and wall art (very classical vibe). A security guard opens the door for you at the sidewalk (you can ... barely find this restaurant on the street, because the storefront is so non-descript, and you need to squint hard to even find the name of the restaurant). Food is clearly made with care & doesn’t disappoint (only exception was the French fries, which were unusually dry & lacking taste). The focaccia bread basket they give you feels like a meal in itself (thickest, richest focaccia I’ve ever had). Prices are definitely elevated, but you’re getting served a different product here (it’s not your typical kosher restaurant). Not recommended to bring kids here. Menu is tiny (approx 30 items in total). Seating for approx 150 people. Reservations are highly reccomended (on a Tuesday night, the place was packed). Parking is difficult in this residential neighborhood. Read More

We felt like royalty! Our bartender was fantastic - creative, professional, and attentive. He whipped up amazing cocktails and helped us navigate the menu with ease. The service was top-notch, and we'd definitely recommend stopping by!

Castells is an amazing kosher dairy restaurant. The food is elegant, beautifully presented, fresh, and absolutely delicious—but the true star of the show is the cocktails. They are incredible. Every single cocktail feels thoughtfully crafted, unique, creative, and utterly spectacular. You can tell that so much care ... and creativity goes into every drink. The staff is just as impressive. After only a few visits, I already knew many of the incredible waiters and staff members, and they make every experience feel warm and personal. A special shoutout to the General Manager, Henry, who truly makes you feel like family. He’s also behind some of the best kosher cocktails I’ve ever had—and honestly, some of the best cocktails in NYC, period. Castells is a gem, and whether you’re going for the food, the drinks, or the hospitality, it’s an experience that absolutely delivers. Read More

I recently dined at Restaurant Castell’s and had a fantastic experience. The food was truly excellent – every dish was flavorful, well-presented, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. What made the evening even more special was the service, especially at the bar. A very big thank you to Giulia Rodriguez, ... who took such great care of us. She prepared excellent drinks for the adults and, most importantly, made sure the kids had excellent soft drinks as well. It’s rare to see someone pay that much attention to younger guests, and Giulia did it with a warm smile and professionalism. If you’re looking for delicious food and top-notch hospitality, definitely visit Restaurant Castell’s. We’ll be back! Read More
