We welcome you to our warm modern space with the largest heated patio in the Financial District! Our outdoor dining room is set up beautifully, and has the most romantic ambiance. Indoors, celebrate with us in our newly remodeled interior.

Our inspiration is that of the Mediterranean with its wonderful diverse cultures, cuisines and wines. The menu reflects flavors from South of France, Spain, Tunisia and the Middle East. Be sure to try our legendary Persian Tahdig, Spiced Beef Dumplings, and the smoothest, most delicious hummus you've ever had!

We look forward to welcoming you to Barcha!

Went here for a group event. Definitely a bit loud (v. popular) so I recommend sitting outside if you can but we had so much fun getting to know each other and eating family style. Everything was delicious and they had options for pescetarians and even non-meat folks, although don't sleep on their lambs or cows. Good drinks and quality service (although could be a bit hard to catch a server's attention - -they were def. busy). Loved that no one hurried us and we spent a full two hours there without ever feeling pressure to leave. my only real sad note is they didn't have baklava - -but their sorbet is so creamy it's mind blowing. Would be equally great for romance for sure :)

Barcha is quite simply one of the best dining experiences you can find downtown. Always consistent, I am a happy regular here. Excellent menu options, incredibly kind and welcoming team members (Talking about you Bridget! And all the servers), lively environment, beautiful interiors, indoor and outdoor seating options, I could go on and on. It keeps me coming back again and again, particularly for work lunches. The Fatoush salad with Shrimp and Avocado added are my go-to, but don’t sleep on any of their Shawarma dishes, Persian rice with either chicken or lamb/beef shawarma is so good! Go!

It's always challenging to find a place for large groups. Barcha was very accommodating. The food was incredible, the service very attentive and the atmosphere was perfect. Everyone commented how much they enjoyed the dinner. I highly recommend!

We had great service. Friendly, helpful suggestions, courteous! Thoughtfully brought a slice of olive cake with a candle for the birthday girl at our table. A very nice touch. Particularly liked the hummus & the shishito peppers. Everything was well made & tasty. Will definitely be back.
