Restaurant Details

  • Eltana’s bagels are hand-rolled for “chewy deliciousness,” wood-fired for “more handsome”-ness, and smaller than most—along the lines of the bagels found in Montreal. Eltana’s “culture and brand is based on the practical interpersonal wisdom developed by Jewish philosophers and teachers over thousands of years,” with aspirations to “a popular, delicious and inclusive experience”—oy! But culture/brand aside, the bagels taste good, and the cafes are pleasant. Also: soups, spreads, and sweets “from Syria, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, and all across the Levant,” along with regional wine and beer.

Come for the bagels, stay for the crossword

The bagels are little guys, perfect for you carb-avoiders out there, barely enough gluten to do whatever it is gluten is supposed to do to you. Try them with the spreads, really good stuff. The fig and the minted fava bean are very authentic and middle eastern, as is the shakshuka, which is the middle eastern version of huevos rancheros. Cookies and deserts are nice to munch on while working on the humongous wall-sized crossword. The service is efficient and about as friendly as a place where you order at a counter can be. So, what's not to like?
