I have the sneaking suspicion that Kish Kash won’t be around very long.

And for no good reason!

I loved it.

The décor is elegant yet casual, the food is vibrant and rewarding and it wasn’t overpriced.

I do think it’s greatest strength will also be it’s downfall.

The menu is quite minimal – Kish Kash specializes in house-made (have you noticed that expression has all but vanished from NYC menus??) couscous dishes.

Not exactly something your average diner seeks out to soothe their aching hangover.

Also, there aren’t really more than 10 things on the menu.

While there is a vegetarian couscous option, there isn’t exactly an omelet or avocado toast to appease those hangry and slightly less than woke friends of yours.

That being said, the couccous is the star of the show. It’s the smallest I’ve ever seen, like beige snow. It’s glorious and a perfect compliment to the lemon and olive accented chicken tagine or the tomatoey meatballs.

Just ditch those annoying friends and come enjoy a meal that’s bursting with flavor before this place inevitably closes in like 6 months or whenever their lease runs out.
