The food here is so so good!! You can certainly taste the quality, and the freshness of the ingredients. The service was stellar, quick and very accommodating. I loved the Moroccan inspired decor. The vibe, was so authentic, and I loved the wall decor and lighting accents. The outdoor seating was also very awesome!! Great spot to enjoy the views of a super busy Saturday night.
Just dropped by this spot and here's the lowdown: First off, the Fresh Mint Lemonade was a miss--totally watered down and lacking that fresh zing. But the Veltins Pilsner? Nice and crisp, reminiscent of a Modelo. Perfect for a chill evening. Now, let's talk food. The Hummus here is hands down the BEST I've had in a long time! That savory green herbs swirl? Absolutely divine. This plate is served with 2 pita breads but the garbanzo bean spread in it was so delicious by itself, that I ditched the pita bread and ate it with my fork. The Queen Burger was decent, but it could've used a bit more aioli to up the juiciness. The patty was thick and tasty, though those "crispy onions" were a letdown--soggy and tough, like sad onion skin. The fries were a tad over-salted and seemed double fried, but they were thin and flavorful, just how I like them. The real star? The Chicken Shawarma Plate. Wow. This dish is a game-changer. The chicken was so well-seasoned and tender it practically melted in my mouth. Paired with an Israeli salad, jasmine rice and a drizzle of mouthwatering tahini sauce, this plate is a winner. You can't go wrong with this one--great portion size too. Service was stellar--attentive and accommodating. We walked in without reservations and were seated immediately. The ambiance? Laid-back, dimly lit, with a small dining area and bar. Plus, you'll see lots of interesting people walking in.
Greek restaurant with consistently good food. Their falafel and hummus are always tasty. This time I had the chicken shawarma plate, which was moist, juicy, and boasted great flavors. Loved the pickled veggies, which served as the perfect refresher. Their fries are also crispy. Cocktails are mid, but not unenjoyable. I don't regret buying them and would buy again, just nothing mind-blowing. Service is always chill and attentive. Nice people and rarely a crowd. Great little outdoor dining setup. One of my go-to spots when prowling Bushwick, particularly the Bushwick Collective, for street art.
Got some food to go here! Falafel platter and fries. The food was quite good!! The falafel itself was great, herbscious, good crisp. Slightly mushy inside, but great. I was frustrated by the fact that there was only four small falafel in the platter though. Four small falafel balls, each half the size of a ping pong ball. TF! The salad accompaniment were yum though, and the fries I ordered were perfectly crisp and seasoned well. I'll come back to eat and scold them for the portions
Good tasting Mediterranean food on Starr and Wycoff. Lots of options on the menu. Everyone in our group really loved their meals.
Two friends and I came in for Saturday brunch. We did make a reservation beforehand, as it is small inside. Two of ha had the mediterranean brunch, which comes with two eggs, arabic salad, labne, hummus, and pita. This was a classic breakfast plate with a mediterranean twist was was super satisfying! Our other party member had the malawatch & eggs, a puff pastry topped with eggs, a side of arabic salad, and a side of tomato foam. The puff pastry was light and crisp and went well with poached eggs. We all enjoyed our meals. For cocktails we got the hibiscus margarita and the arnold palmer. Both were using housemadr teas, which had great flavor but were too sweet for our taste. Would definitely stop back in for brunch or order as takeout in the future!
Lovely restaurant, kind of small and intimate inside. We were able to walk in with no reservation. Our server was Roy who was very attentive and personable! The food was delicious. Not sure how long they've been open but would not hesitate to come back. Hummus was so good, we had to order a few extra pita. The chicken shawarma was also great-I do wish there was more chicken though as I felt like the other parts of the dish were over served.
Happened to be in the area and stopped by on a whim. This restaurant is tiny and can get busy. I will say I got lucky that I showed up without a reservation and was able to get the last table. Service is kind and quick. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The food: wow everything was delicious! I happened to try the hot chocolate and it was good. It's different, has a mild kick and isn't as sweet but it's good. It's not to typical hot chocolate. Not pictured is the lemonade which was refreshing!
