Shalel Lounge

Perfect for date night or great conversation. Staff was wonderful; very polite and knowledgeable. Just had a couple of drinks, but the food looked and smelled fantastic. Ambiance, atmosphere and decor was awesome and very laid back. Will definitely be going back to try the food.

Cheers and Happy Dining

Wow what a great place! Really great atmosphere, refreshing drinks, and delicious food. Loved the Chilean sea bass with a really nice Shepard salad. Service a bit slow when we went, but everything else made up for that.

A perfect spot for an intimate night out on the Upper West Side that still remains somewhat hidden. Shalel combines beautiful, yet narrow spaces with dim lighting to evoke an ambiance that is ideal for a night out with great company and conversation. Ideal for parties less than three, perfect for date night.

Shalel uniquely combines an extensive drink list with great wine, cocktails, and top shelf offerings with excellent Moroccan entrees and mezze. The Mediterranean Spread Platter with pita and other finger foods like lamb cigars and Greek bruschetta are probably more convenient/manageable than entrees given the size of tables and set up.

Service is excellent and the wait staff can be beautifully distracting at times. Ladies should be prepared for wandering eyes from their men...at times.
