"If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. This small middle eastern cafe style restaurant sits hidden in an unassuming street of the city. I practically had to walk up to see it, but once inside, the cozy decor and friendly staff made me feel right at home. I stopped by hummus kitchen half starved on the day of a snowstorm. The waitress, a friendly young vegan woman, rushed to bring me water and a cup of hot spiced cider to warm me up. The menu is an interactive affair presented on an iPad. It has a large variety of Turkish-style dishes. Vegan dishes are clearly labeled. For $17 one picks 3 dishes, such as hummus, babaganoush, falafel, etc and they come in generous portion with an amazing whole wheat pita bread that melts in your mouth. I mentioned I was half starved, so I ordered 6 dishes and could obviously not finish them (Leftovers for dinner were almost as good as lunch). The waitress, who was incredibly sweet and attentive throughout—recommending dishes, asking if I was enjoying the food or needed anything else—recommended this raspberry and coconut cream dessert. However, I was pretty full and am not a big fan of fruit compote type things, so I declined and asked for the check. As I was signing a young man, who I take to be the owner or manager, kindly asked me if I had three minutes to spare. When I replied that I did, he brought me out a dessert he said he wanted me to try. This was a generous portion of the most amazing chocolate mousse—all vegan—I have had in my life. It was topped with whipped cream and shredded coconut flakes. Pure ambrosia! My only regret: discovering this place on my last day in New York City. Absolutely amazing! Just the service makes it worth it. Highly recommend."

"I wish I could say we had a 4-5 star rating but my sister, her daughter and I were outsiders who were unwelcome. When we got there, the host (on 6/24 at 8pm wearing a silver dangling earring on his left ear) didn't welcome us nor did he ask us for our name when my sister checked us in. He said, I'll just come outside when a table is ready (It was a rainy night and there were no umbrellas for shelter Maybe he had a photographic memory, I thought, but he took down everyone else's names; or maybe because we didn't have reservations he didn't want to write our names down, but he took the name down of a party of three who didn't have reservations. Nonetheless, my sister reassured us that we'd be seated and if we weren't called before the party after us then we should leave. You see, she had her daughter with us and she is the type to teach her daughter to treat others with respect until they show her they don't deserve respect. So we waited. But after the party after us was seated, she turned to her 19 year old daughter and said, If the party of three after the party after us without reservations is seated then we can leave Moments after she said that, the party of three without reservations was called BY NAME to be seated. So we left. In hindsight it was clear that everyone dining, and all those let in before and after us, were white. We weren't. (My niece is half white and my husbands is too. So having trust in this environment is second nature to us We were the only ones who walked in that night who were treated as if we were unwelcome poorly by the host wearing the silver dangling earring on his left ear (6/24 8pm). That host didn't want our names and made it clear that he had no intention of calling us to a table. We weren't welcome to be seated at Cucina Rustica and our journey to one of the most beautiful places we've admitted to seeing just before walking to this restaurant from the Hilton, just a stone's throw away from stunning red mountains, became untrusting and ugly. We felt defeated and we acknowledged that Cucina Rustica in Sedona casted a shadow on our trip. Thankfully, we were welcomed by Dellepiane further down in the plaza and the service was welcoming and warm. When we shared our experience with our hostess, her nonverbal response communicated it wasn't the first time she heard it. So, we resolved to leave big tips to our waiters during our trip who showed us just how beautiful Sedona could be. It's not just the scenery that graces us when we visit new places, but so too are the welcoming smiles and kind words. Sedona is filled with beauty and kindness, just not at Cucina Rustica. I should note that as we left, my sister was stopped by the host who asked with a smirk if we were sure we didn't want to continue to wait for a table. My sister replied that we wouldn't be staying as he had seated a number of groups who arrived after us before he had seated us. The host then feigned innocence by saying that each group had made reservations prior to arrival. The three of us recognized this to be a bold faced lie as we had overheard multiple (white) groups come in without reservations who had all been asked for their names and later retrieved by name by the same host who had refused to take ours. This lie solidified the fact that we were clearly discriminated against and were unwanted at Cucina Rustica. What was supposed to be a fun girls trip was quickly marred by the disappointing and dehumanizing treatment at Cucina Rustica. Below I have attached a screenshot of a similar reviews posted by people of color who have unfortunately been treated the same as us."
