Oti - New York Menu
About the Menu
The menu at Oti offers a carefully curated selection of Romanian-inspired small plates and drinks, perfectly suited for sharing and savoring in a cozy, intimate setting. This is not a heavy, traditional spread but rather a thoughtfully composed lineup of bites and cocktails that invite relaxed conversation and discovery.
Guests often find themselves enjoying these dishes as part of a casual evening out, pairing them with distinctive cocktails like the Nigori or the Oti Dirty Martini. The small plates—featuring items such as zakuska, sarmale, and roasted pickled peppers—bring forward familiar flavors presented with a subtle, modern touch. These are ideal for those moments when you want something comforting yet light, perfect alongside a glass of wine or a well-crafted drink.
Sweet offerings like Ciomadul provide a gentle finish, complementing the earthy, smoky, and savory notes throughout the meal. The overall feel of the menu aligns with the restaurant’s inviting atmosphere—a blend of tradition and approachable refinement that encourages both quiet dinners and lively gatherings.
The menu’s approachable style, combined with attentive service, creates a setting where enjoying a variety of shareable dishes feels natural. The thoughtfully balanced flavors and casual plating make it easy to explore multiple tastes without the pressure of a formal dining experience.
