A Yiddish term that means the perfect housewife and mother. She’s the fearless emotional center of her family, who makes sure her table is not only full of gorgeous food, but also full of friends, love, laughter.​ Chef Einat Admony opened Balaboosta to share her vivacious personal food, full of sun-drenched inspiration from Israel and her family’s Persian and Yemenite background. A reboot of the original Balaboosta, this new incarnation (now at 611 Hudson Street,) is the next expression of Admony’s modern Israeli concept. Partner and husband Stefan Nafziger presents a curated list of top-notch wines from the region’s most ambitious winemakers. Beginning with Taïm (serving arguably the city’s best falafel at their five locations,) and now with Balaboosta and their new North African couscous restaurant Kish-Kash, the couple brings the best of Israeli spirit from their hearts to your table.

Walked in and snagged a seat out front. Everything was delicious, service was friendly. The creme brûlée with halva was an excellent recommendation.
