Golan Heights 7.6
Washington Heights (North)
Vibes: Comfort Food Classics Late Night Legends Quick Bites Champions Solo Dining Sanctuaries
Golan Heights is a long-running kosher counter near Yeshiva University where shawarma, schnitzel, and overstuffed pitas serve students and night owls until around midnight most nights. It’s more about big portions and late hours than finesse, but remains a default for fast Israeli-style plates in Fort George.
Must-Try Dishes: Shawarma platter with salads and fries, Falafel pita with all the salads, Mixed grill plate over rice
Scores:
Value: 7.9 Service: 7 Consistency: 7.1 Food Quality: 8.1 Atmosphere: 6 Cultural Relevance: 8.2
What makes it special: A student-favorite kosher counter where shawarma and schnitzel run late.
Who should go: Hungry night owls near Yeshiva craving Israeli platters.
When to visit: Weeknights after 9pm when most nearby kitchens close.
What to order: Shawarma platter, falafel pita, mixed grill over rice.
Insider tip: Ask for extra salads and pickles packed into your pita or platter.
