Fortuna NYC is hands down one of the best Mediterranean spots in the city. The chicken schnitzel is perfectly crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor—it’s easily one of the best I’ve ever had. The shawarma is just as incredible—tender, well-seasoned, and bursting with bold, savory flavor.Their hummus deserves its own spotlight: super fresh, smooth, and rich—exactly how it should be. You can taste the quality in every bite.On top of the amazing food, the vibes are unbeatable—warm, inviting, and full of life. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, Fortuna nails it every time. Highly recommend! - Dor Ben David
