Messy - Review - Soho - New York - The Infatuation

"The Lighthouse team has a casual, counter-service spot in Soho for sandwiches and skewers. At Messy, they grill proteins like pork and chicken, as well as mushrooms, on sticks, and you can choose to get them as a platter or in a pita sandwich. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

Lighthouse, a Mediterranean restaurant in Williamsburg, looks to Japan for its new sibling Messy in Manhattan: ingredients like miso, wasabi, furikake, and togarashi find their way to kebabs, sandwiches, mezze, and more.

It is a good day when I have 15 minutes or an hour to stop by and have a quick lunch at Messy. Messy is a warm and inviting space that punches way above its weight. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Each time I visit I like to try something new and for the last few visits I haven’t been able to stay away from the tuna sandwich - I was told the tuna was sourced from Greenpoint Fish. Nevertheless, the kebab sandwich, pork sandwich, addictive cabbage, and various skewers have all been so delicious. I also love being able to have a sandwich and a side of cabbage and get right back into work without feeling lethargic. The portion sizes are great and the prices are even better. Go to Messy. If you’re lucky to secure the outside table - you’re in for a wonderful moment.

walked by this place in Soho ordered the chicken skewer platter. It came with rice, salad sauce, and one chicken skewer, which I didn’t think was enough so I ordered extra chicken. It was really good. super tasty salad, rice, cabbage, and hot pepper.

I had high hopes, but the skewers were really disappointing. They were extremely watery, likely because the salad was served on the same plate—everything just blended into a soggy mess. The flavors didn’t stand out, and the texture suffered badly. On the plus side, the staff was friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. The location is quite small—cozy, but also a bit cramped. Overall, not the worst experience, but the food quality needs improvement. I wouldn’t return for the skewers.

It takes not longer than 10 minutes to get a high quality fast food. Affordable, nice service and DELICIOUS! They use a wood fired oven so it tastes (and smells) sooo good! I highly recommend this place ✨

Great unique and delicious chicken sandwich (and definitely very messy)! Also love that they are on the InKind app. Will be back to try the other sandwiches!

My steak sandwich in pita was so good that I nearly forgot to take a snapshot of it… The pita us much mor convenient and tasty than any other form of a sandwich and the food stays inside the pita too! Here is a photo of a tuna sandwich, which I had just now….Enjoyed it very much!

The smoking here is perfection—no artificial flavors, no harshness—just good, old-school smoking done right. They offer some truly interesting options, like fresh tuna, kabab, and an unexpected gem: smoked labane. If you’ve never tried it, smoked labane is a thick, tangy yogurt cheese, and it was so incredible I had to take a jar home with me. They’re serious about getting every detail right. Take their homemade hummus, for example—paired with their heavenly Angel Pita, it’s an unbeatable combination. Naturally, I couldn’t leave without a jar of hummus as well. This place is not just about amazing food; it’s a fun spot with a welcoming vibe, great service, a friendly team, and fair prices. You’ve got yourself a new fan!

Such a great addition to the neighborhood! Went two days in a row for lunch and still craving it. I’ve tried the chicken pita, kebab pita, mushroom pita, steak skewers, salad, and addictive cabbage. Staff is so kind and friendly. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!

Hard to believe that this place , which exist more than 5 months hasn't got the attention. It's tiny but with seats and bar seats , it's with very small (but right) menu . The food is an excellent Mediterranean with Indian touch , skewers like kebab and chicken are fantastic , home made tahini and fresh salad are the exact addition. Great , friendly service . Definitely recommended!!!!

Absolutely fantastic steak sandwich, this place needs much more love. The perfect quick lunch, juicy, spicy, sauce combos and crunch. Staff was nice, cool wooden sitting areas in the restaurant and little decorations.
