As the Jewish New Year approaches, Talia's Steakhouse on the Upper West Side of Manhattan is gearing up to serve its community with traditional Rosh Hashanah meals, a practice it has upheld for nearly a quarter century. The restaurant, known for its glatt kosher cuisine, will be open for prepaid lunches and dinners from Friday, September 11th, through Sunday, September 13th, 2026.
The holiday menu includes all the symbolic dishes essential to Rosh Hashanah, such as challah, apple and honey, pomegranates, and even fish heads. This allows families and friends to celebrate together without the burden of cooking or cleaning up. In accordance with Orthodox Jewish law, no money is exchanged on the holiday itself, so all reservations must be made and paid for in advance.
For those unable to dine in, Talia's offers delivery and catering options. Its sister restaurant, Shawarma Shabazi, also provides catering services, with details available at Shawarma Shabazi's catering menu. Additionally, the popular kosher Chinese restaurant West Side Wok & Konata Sushi Bar has recently consolidated its operations into Talia's kitchen, expanding the culinary offerings from the same location. More information can be found at West Side Wok's website.
Rosh Hashanah is a time for reflection and renewal, and Talia's aims to provide a welcoming environment for all members of the community, from Chabad and Satmar Chasidim to Modern Orthodox, secular Jews, and non-Jewish customers. The restaurant prides itself on being a hip, modern place that respects tradition while embracing diversity.
Beyond the High Holidays, Talia's offers prepaid Shabbat dinners every week and hosts meals for all major Jewish holidays. For Sukkot, the restaurant will set up a large Sukkah, continuing its commitment to holiday observances. For more details on Rosh Hashanah offerings, visit Talia's Rosh Hashanah page.

The menu blends American and Middle-Eastern cuisines, making it a popular spot for date nights and family gatherings alike.
