Or'Esh

O’resh is the kind of new Soho spot that actually lives up to the hype. We started with the Big Bluefin Slice, clean and bright with garum, red onion, urfa chili, and lime zest. The Crispy Potato Pastel topped with golden osetra caviar was rich without being heavy. The Golden Halloumi Kadayif with fresh za’atar and hot honey was so good we ordered it twice, salty, crispy, sweet, and completely addictive. The Or’esh Market Salad with Greenmarket vegetables, stone yogurt, and Jerusalem bagel croutons somehow made vegetables feel like the main event. The American Red Snapper with English peas and lemon za’atar butter was simple and flawless. And the Cardamom Soft Serve with caramelized kataifi crumble, honey, lemon zest, and olive oil… I genuinely don’t have the words. It was one of those desserts you think about the next day. Every dish hit. No notes. The service was warm and polished, especially impressive for a buzzy new restaurant. We put our name down at 4:30 for bar seating and cancellations and were seated by 5:10, which felt like a win. It felt like eating at someone’s home, just more elevated. Can’t wait to go back.
