As the Jewish New Year approaches, Talia's Steakhouse on Manhattan's Upper West Side is gearing up to serve its community once again with traditional Rosh Hashanah meals. The restaurant, which has been providing glatt kosher holiday dining for nearly 25 years, will be open for prepaid lunches and dinners during Rosh Hashanah 2026, starting Friday, September 11th, and concluding Sunday, September 13th.
The holiday menu at Talia's includes all the symbolic dishes central 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 and cleaning. In accordance with Orthodox Jewish law, no money is exchanged on the holiday, so all reservations must be prepaid. For those who cannot dine in, the restaurant offers delivery and catering options. Additionally, Talia's fast-food sister restaurant, Shawarma Shabazi, provides its own catering menu, which can be found at Shawarma Shabazi's catering page.
The Upper West Side's kosher Chinese establishment, West Side Wok & Konata Sushi Bar, has also recently consolidated its operations into Talia's kitchen, expanding the culinary variety available under one roof. More details can be found at West Side Wok's website. For specific information about Rosh Hashanah 2026 at Talia's, including menus and reservation details, visit Talia's Rosh Hashanah page.
Beyond the holiday meals, Talia's will also set up a large Sukkah for the Sukkot holiday, continuing its tradition of accommodating major Jewish festivities. The restaurant's commitment to providing a welcoming environment is evident in its diverse clientele, which includes Chabad and Satmar Chasidim, Modern Orthodox, secular Jews, non-Jewish customers, and various ethnic groups.
For over 24 years, Talia's has reinvented the strictly glatt kosher dining experience as a modern, hip destination. Its romantic ambiance—dim lighting, candles, fresh roses on each table, and mellow live music—combined with a fusion of American and Middle-Eastern cuisines, makes it a popular spot for special occasions. In addition to holiday meals, Talia's offers prepaid Shabbat dinners every week. For more information, visit Talia's website at taliassteakhouse.com.
