Wicked Wiches is preparing to open a new kosher restaurant in the 5 Towns, located down the block from the Hewlett LIRR train station. The concept offers a build-your-own sandwich and bowl format alongside chef-designed signature options. The restaurant focuses on bold flavors, premium proteins, and customizable ingredients to appeal to diners seeking fresh, made-to-order meals.

Customers then select one protein, with options such as fried chicken thigh, za’atar grilled chicken, premium grilled steak, double smash burgers, slow-cooked pulled beef, fried fish fillet, or falafel.

Choices include house-made shoestring fries, tomato, house pickles, Israeli salad, za’atar slaw, cucumbers, balsamic caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, pickled jalapeños, sumac slaw, lettuce, mixed greens, hummus, pickled celery and carrot salad, and pickled hot peppers.
