Talia's Steakhouse & Bar, a glatt kosher restaurant on Manhattan's Upper West Side, will serve Passover Seders and meals for the 2026 holiday, continuing a tradition spanning over twenty years. The strictly Orthodox establishment observes all Jewish laws and requires all reservations to be prepaid before the holiday begins. Passover 2026, known as Pesach, starts at sundown on April 1 and ends on April 9.
The restaurant will provide non-communal Seder meals on April 1 and 2, featuring all traditional required Seder items and foods according to Ashkenazi tradition, including haggadahs and wine. A fully stocked Kosher for Passover bar will also be available. Throughout the holiday, Talia's will serve holiday lunches and dinners and remain open with a regular à la carte menu during Chol Hamoed, accommodating both large groups and individual diners.
Talia's fast-casual sister restaurant next door, Shawarma Shabazi, will also be completely kosher for Passover. Adhering to Ashkenazi tradition, the menu will exclude items like falafel, hummus, and tahini. More information about Shawarma Shabazi can be found at https://shabazinyc.com.
Reservations for Pesach 2026 are already being accepted, with seats filling quickly, prompting recommendations to book early. For over two decades, Talia's Steakhouse has redefined the glatt kosher dining experience as a modern, welcoming venue for diverse patrons, including Chabad and Satmar Chasidim, Modern Orthodox and secular Jews, non-Jewish customers, and various ethnic groups. The restaurant has cultivated a loyal following and a reputation for excellence, described by one customer as "the best, most progressive-still-frum place."
Beyond Passover, Talia's offers a romantic atmosphere with dim lighting, candles, fresh roses on each table, and live music, blending American and Middle Eastern cuisines. It also provides prepaid Shabbat dinners weekly and meals for all major Jewish holidays. This announcement highlights the restaurant's role in preserving cultural and religious traditions while fostering inclusivity in New York City's dining scene, ensuring access to kosher holiday meals for residents and visitors alike.
