“I’ve never done a review before, but me and my partner had an amazing time here tonight. Just stopped by to have a couple drinks and a snack before heading home. The server, I’m not sure of his name but he was a server in the front section by the bar Wednesday around 8pm. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the wine list and knew all the details about the food we were served. The food runner ran thru each item on the food. Just incredible service. The server picked a fantastic wine I wouldn’t usually go for. The atmosphere was fire. Food 10/10. Recently moved to the area and we’ll be regulars now. Couldn’t rate this place higher. Oh and I also want to mention my partner called ahead and didn’t catch the host, but they called her back in like 1 minute and managed to squeeze us in. You’re running a tight ship!”
“What an amazing experience! The most delicious food! Each dish had its own special mix of spices and flavors. The service was also friendly and exceptional! Can’t wait to go back!”
“We started off with some tasty cocktails: A Japanese twist on a margarita and an amazing whiskey-based pink one (the name escapes me but it was truly unique and delicious. We had their rendition of a Caeser salad, which was enormous. The deep fried burrata was also quite big… and truly unique and scrumptious. I could have drank the cheesy broth all night. The fried hen was nice. The black cod was as well. The sticky pudding with lime ice cream dessert was massive, but the two of us managed. Also - get the potatoes…. A great compliment to everything.”
“such a cute little brunch spot. classy cocktails and great food. quiche was fantastic and everything on the menu was served impeccably. coffee is bottomless is you get drip. they make some mean cocktails too. anything on the menu is a treat and service is amazing.”
“After having enjoyed Bersi's eye-poppingly large platters that feed 3-4 people for $20-60 in total, not even Ras's lunch special ($18 bowls) seemed like a good deal. I did prefer the collard greens at Ras over Bersi's though. (Too bad I didn't try the injera at Ras for a comparison.) All that said, I did enjoy the Bole Bowl: the crunchy soy crumbles were a fun textural element, and the avocado injected creaminess into the mix. FYI, they have a couple of beverages with honey: honey wine and hard kombucha. Updated from previous review on 2024-04-08”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“First, the great: order the chilaquiles for brunch. It’s a great non-traditional “elevated” take that retains all the beloved parts of the dish: the soggy-crunchy texture, the fried egg. The twists made sense, from the creamy non-spicy salsa to the hearty beans and mole crunch. It appeals to Americans’ preference for creamy foods. Also, if you can handle a bit of heat, order anything with salsa macha, a slightly spicy smoky-nutty chili oil.The bad: temperature and texture. It felt like most of the food sat at the counter for a long time before they got delivered to our table, or they didn’t even bother to cook the food. The tuna tostada and spring pea tlayuda sat on a soggy, leathery base. The chilaquiles did not touch the stove, just a bunch of chips tossed in sauce. The tacos arrived pretty close to room temp. Flavors were pleasant, but I expected something more intense or interesting from a Michelin place.Overall, the food’s pretty darn good for the price despite the flaws.”
“The atmosphere far outclasses the food but with the bar set so high, the food had a long way to go to match the setting.Enjoyed our meal all the same but not moved by the pork belly. The fluke appetizer was, however, top tier.”
“I LOVE Ishi so much... This was my favorite omakase experience in NYC! Brought my parents here for their anniversary and their first ever Omakase.The ambiance is lovely. The interior is warm, inviting and intimate. Staff is very welcoming.The food is AMAZING and high quality. Every single piece was delicious and we were so impressed. I will definitely be back. There are so many great omakase places in NYC but this was the first that made me want to revisit even without a special occasion to celebrate.Thank you to the team at Ishi for such a wonderful experience!”

“My son took me here for Mother’s Day. He’s vegan. I’m not. But I could be because the food was absolutely delicious! Loved the food and the very friendly staff. I’ll be back!”
“Out of this world creative Indian cuisine. The atmosphere is perfect setting for friend, couples, and families. With a diverse bar selection you can find amazing mixed drinks and local brewed beers on tap. From Fermented Dosa to Lamb Chapli Kebab the starters are brilliant. As you make your way to the main courses the Sea Bream Ssam is so tasty, if you’re in the mood go for the seared prawns or maybe even the Mushroom Uttapam. To finish off the night they have a nice selection of desserts like cashew baklava or the ganache cake is amazing with warm chocolate sauce, rose ice cream, and cardamom salt. To top off the experience the staff are warm welcoming and very kind! Come on by, right on 7th Avenue in the heart of Park Slope, Brooklyn NY!”
“The Four Horsemen never disappoints. Sampled many dishes and all were perfectly composed and the quality and flavor was excellent. Superb wine list that is paired well with the staff favorites.”
“Great take on Lu rou fan (minced pork and rice), excellent scallion pancakes and awesome dessert (Tian miantuan) that was like a sandwich of sweet fried dough, golden sesame ice cream and condensed milk (plus cilantro and butter dried peanuts)! Great beverages as well such as the slightly sweetened Jasmine iced tea and Sanzo (lychee & calamansi) sparkling water products!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Freshly made warm pita and flatbread from the oven! Nice dough and crust. Dishes were generous but under seasoned. Generous shwarma pieces on flatbread were overcooked. Rice with almond slivers from ouzi lamb was very fragrant and tasty. Comfortable seating. Light and airy. Attentive service. ”

“Ok but not my favorite upscale Mexican in Brooklyn. I really like the tuna tostada (came with tuna, grapefruit, avocado). Got a vegetarian main that was ok, nothing special. Mezcal menu looked good so I’d come back for a drink. Was able to get walk-in seats at the bar by coming right at 5:30 when they open.”

“Hidden Pearl is a true Brooklyn oasis. With tropical Japanese vibes, records on the turntable, and a top-notch staff, there's not a better date spot in Greenpoint—especially when the sun is still streaming in through the skylight! The cocktails are vibrant and refreshing, packing a flavorful punch I have been craving this summer. Highly recommend!”
“I loved this place and would definitely visit again! I should not that I had a late dinner here after a day of traveling, so I didn't try as many dishes as I would normally try.Food: I savored the Eggplant and Whey Dip, a symphony of roasted eggplant, crispy onions, cured whey yogurt, and mint oil that danced on my palate with exquisite flavor. The Roasted Cauliflower, adorned with a tantalizing tomato & chili glaze, shallot yogurt, pickled vegetables, and pistachio, offered a delightful journey through contrasting textures and bold flavors. Lastly, the Medjool Date & Lentil rice transported me to the heart of Persia with its aromatic Basmati rice, infused with raisins, lentils, cinnamon, saffron, and crispy onions—a comforting embrace of authentic flavors.Service: The service at the restaurant was top-notch! The staff were so friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. They really went the extra mile to make us feel welcome and taken care of. It definitely added to the cozy vibe of the place and made our dining experience one to remember!Vibe: The vibe of this place was just perfect – laid-back yet inviting, with a clean and comfortable atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. It had this effortless charm that made it feel like a home away from home. The simplicity of the decor combined with the casual ambiance created a relaxing environment where I could truly unwind and enjoy my meal.I can't wait to get back to New York and try more items at SOFREH!Date of Visit: 15 March 2024”

“Couples or parties of 2 get ready to cozy up to your fellow patrons. If you need to get up tables will have to be pulled forward to let you out. Larger groups definitely have more room and spacing, but nonetheless the experience will be intimately loud. We came for the highly reviewed Coniglio (braised rabbit) which did not disappoint, but the Spaghetti Neri is a must try. The octopus was perfectly cooked and enrobed in a peppery sauce whose "slow burn" made it hard to put my fork down or prevent my partner from eating out of my plate. Their oxtail and cuttlefish appetizer is an "interesting" experience. The texture was heavy on the creamy and soft with flavors that channeled childhood memories for me, but were in conflict with each other for my partner. Thankfully, the Primitivo Orion was sublime on the palate in all the ways. If you're in the mood for a light dessert that isn't heavy on the sweetness, their panna cotta with wine infused cherries and almond biscotti is the perfect end cap. This place gets packed, so make a reservation. Our 6:45 pm booking was the sweet spot where the turnover from earlier diners gave us a little space for hand holding across the table and a mini lull to shout my man a happy birthday.”
“Wonderful experience all around. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive. It was very helpful when it came to suggesting pairings. The wine and cocktail list is great. The food was really excellent. I recommend the Amberjack and Hamachi collar. Dessert, we had the mezcal flan. 10s across the board.”
“The chicken broth hot pot is very good but very expensive and it’s one of a kind. I would recommend being VIP so you can get discount. In order to to be a VIP member, you have to purchase their gift card for $100. But you can’t use the gift card on the same day of purchase, you have to use it next time you come back. But you can still use your vip Discount on the same day, for example the chicken broth soup is 78.99 and vip pays $39.99, the watermelon juice is $5.99 vip pays 4.99. The menu there has 2 price , one listing for regular customer and red letters listing is for VIP members. VIP members gets Almost $1 off on most dishes. And you get to choose a welcome free gift for being a VIP.”

“Simply the best every single time we go! Super friendly with kids, outdoor backyard spaces, beautiful, and feels inside but open… And the pasta is amazing.I’m still remembering the mushroom special pasta I got months ago.Also, the wine list is great and good price points for quality.”

“In all food is perfect! Amazing food, everything tastes good. I’ve been there 10+ times all very good experiences, only literally only one time the waitress ( didn’t look familiar to me) was a bit rude, other than that the food and deco and hospitality are all amazing! ??”

“Came into this place with high expectations and just about everything lived up to the hype. Unmatchable atmosphere and design. Incredible cocktails, tasty snacks.The only negative was our service. Our server did not have a lot of interest in helping us and her attitude didn't seem to match everything else. The bartenders making the drinks seemed a lot more personable, to the point where I wished we were sitting at the bar being helped by them. Either way, make a reservation and get in here!”
“Great food and staff went above and beyond for a special request. We jokingly asked if they could make onion rings for a friend at our table. We had the best onion rings ever, along with my favorite pork dish in a LONG time. Great night, don’t sleep on Gus’s.”
“Order: broccoli, brown butter, buffalo mozzarella, rigatoni, olive oil + pistachio ice creamVerdict: first and foremost, just an awesome waitstaff. Effortless but nice. The pastas are totally fine, but honestly one note. Felt similarly about Lilia so no real change. The gelato was Excellent though. Only thing I'd come back for is the desert.”
“A fantastic Mexican/seafood fusion spot!We came here for my husband’s birthday and everything we ordered was divine. We started off with the salsas (you’re going to want to love spicy food if you order this) and got 2 aguachiles (both superb), shrimp tacos (I could have eaten 5 of these), and the whole fish (perfectly cooked, so flavorful and tender).Will definitely be returning soon!Vegetarian options: It’s a heavily seafood based menu so not sure I would recommend for strict vegetarians”
“A great place. The atmosphere is just what you would expect in Williamsburg!The cocktails are excellent, A knock out. Don’t forget the oysters: they are delicious.”
“If you happen to be around Brooklyn and have about an half hour or an hour to spend, I would definitely recommend this place.It's close to the subway.This is a very eye opening place to visit if you are interested in dashi in general. The store has variety of dashi for you to try (also vegan options) and also allows you to create your own, which is super fun and educational.They have a lot of imported japanese products + meal, which could be a bit pricy; however, consider you dont have to fly to Japan to get them, they are acceptable and worth try at least once.The atmosphere is super nice. Nice lighting/furnitures and everything. The staffs were also super informative and could help you in a lot in making decisions toward unending dashi ingredients.”
“I think this place is great. Especially for a date night too. The Temaki they serve is great for a 2 bite situation, making it really easy to share between 2… if that’s your thing.To be honest, coming here and getting the classic & signature is just as $ as getting delivery sushi, maybe a bit more expensive but it’s worth it. High quality ingredients & thought out flavors.Personal favorite temaki is the XO scallop.The whole entire restaurant is gluten free by the way, so that might win a lot of people over.The interior & vibe is definitely for a certain demographic and will become aged out within maybe a year or two. The interior is on the same note of that Tend instagram dentist place, and that’s not a compliment. The music they play reminds me of what they would play at like a retail store.Dietary restrictions: The entire restaurant is gluten free & can help gluten intolerance with their meal.”
“ngl good food and ambiance, but they charged an extra $10 to my card and never responded to my messages and email (they don’t have a phone number), so be careful and check your card statementsupdate: they got back to me after i wrote this review (1 star), so i’m bumping this back upupdate 2: i went back and wasn’t charged extra, the oysters are solid”
“5 stars are not enough to tell you how good this place is. We've been staying in the Franklin Guesthouse (hotel adjacent to Madre) for a couple of nights and decided to give Madre a shot - boy were we in for a treat! Firstly, shout out to Armando, who made us feel immediately welcomed with his warmth and energy! For food, we got the Frutti di Mare, Croquetas, Brussels Sprouts, Cornbread Madeleines (compliments from chef) and Chicken - massive MASSIVE props to Chef Bryan and his very talented team. To say that they cooked "well" would be the understatement of 2022. They absolutely blew our minds with top quality medley of ingredients, depth of flavor, and masterful execution in every way. Cocktails were fun and delectable, which added the perfect "pop" to the culinary rocket ship that Madre served up. Just when my wife and I were ready to call it a night, Chef Bryan and Armando were kind enough to bring out the Pot de Creme for us, which was the bow and ribbon on this very special dinner. My only regret of the night was not having enough stomachs to enjoy more of what Madre could serve up. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Madre!”
“Such a lovely low-key friendly neighborhood eats. They've just been opened for couple weeks. Liquor license is coming soon. Love all the dishes we had. Very fresh ingredients and herbs being used, including micro greens and edible flowers. Drinks served now are only soft drinks but like I mentioned earlier; their liquor license is being issued right now. They should start serving alcoholic beverages in couple weeks. What we had today for three of us: Drinks - Raspberry Lemonade - Very refreshing beverage with a perfect combination taste of sweet and sour. Perfect for the hot summer day. - Thai Iced Tea - Typical signature non-alcoholic iced tea from Thailand. They made it perfectly - not overly sweet like most Thai places. - Thai Iced Coffee - Another signature Thai styled iced coffee. And again, perfectly made. Appetizers - Chive Pancakes - Big portion enough to share as a starter. Soft in the inside and crispy on the outside. Love it! - Thai Dumplings - Thai styled steamed dumplings with chicken and shrimp. - Fruit Salad (Special of the Day) - Mixed fruit salad bowl mixed of red apples, green apples, mangoes and grapes tossed with mixed of lime juice and other fresh ingredients of herbs and mints. Perfect for the summer. Entrees - Pad See Ew - Very tasty sautéed noodles with sweet soy sauce and flat noodles and Chinese broccoli and eggs. We chose to have it with fried tofu. - Duck Basil - Love, love, and love how they cook the duck with fresh Basil leaves and bell peppers. The duck meat is there - not dried out - still juicy and tender. Perfectly cooked! - Seafood Pad Cha - Again love the fresh ingredients and herbs used for this dish; especially, peppercorns, fingerroot and fresh lime leaves which they used in the dish. Dessert - Fresh Mango Sticky Rice - Not overly sweet for the Sticky Rice. So it was perfect for a hot day like today. Thank you, Glin for a lovely meal and very friendly attentive service. It was very enjoyable. We do appreciate the way you cook and use lots of fresh ingredients in your dishes. Stay true to your way of cooking. ***Love*** We'll be back soon and will try other dishes. Once again - Thank you. **The Uthairungsri Family**”

“This little bar is a gem. It's too clean to call a dive bar, but it has the lack of pretension you look for in a dive bar. It is a place to drink with a friend. Not a "see and be seen" place and I mean that as a compliment.”
“The staff is very friendly and courteous and that for me is a plus. Is a little pricey but you can find about everything you need is very clean they have a second floor. No complaints so far”

“Great Steak Tostada. Loaded with meats beans and veggies. Good deal for $4.They don't have a menu so you have to ask. They have Chicken, Steak, and Chorizo. You can have them make Quesadillas, Tortas, Tacos, or Tostadas. Possibly other things, just ask.”
“This is one of the best car food in New York. Every day after work, I come to take my lunch. Different from any car. I recommend anyone to try the food. I expect you to love it.”

The friendly atmosphere and efficient service make every visit enjoyable. It's a go-to spot for a delicious and comforting meal. Special shout out to the cashiers! They’re super cool and are very kind.”
“The best bodega in New York. Willy is the GOAT. I moved away for 4 years and when I came back, he not only remembered who I was, but remembered my regular sandwich order. You don’t get that anywhere else in the world.”
“I buy their bread at the McCarren farmer’s market on Saturdays. The best sourdough I’ve had outside of San Francisco! Their long Pullman loaf (their most sour) is my favorite.”

“I recently had the pleasure of trying the sandwiches at INDULGE GRILL GOURMET, and I have to say, they are hands down the best in town. The quality of the ingredients and the flavorful combinations make for a truly satisfying meal. What's more, the staff is incredibly friendly, accommodating, and respectful, which adds to the overall enjoyable experience. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices, making it a great value for such top-notch food.

“Probably the only hot dog I’ll eat in NYC. Absolutely delicious. snap, crisp, juice, pop, crackle, YUMMY. They nailed it. And the owners, Jay and Joe, are mad cool. 10/10 ”
“This is an iconic Brooklyn staple… one of the best pizzerias around. They’re famous for their Square/Sicilian Pies, and they now have a Square Vodka Sauce Pie as well. You can order any kind of pizza and I guarantee it’ll be delicious. There’s indoor dining as well and you can order delicious Italian dishes as well as Italian Ices for desert. There’s ample seating outdoors and indoors and a small parking lot. This location is wheelchair accessible and there is metered parking on the street, across the street, and there is free parking on the local streets surrounding the shop.Parking: The parking lot isn’t huge and may be shared with a neighboring restaurant. I’ve typically always been able to park my car here. If not, there’s paid meter parking on the street or you can drive up or down local streets to find free parking spots.Kid-friendliness: You’ll mainly see families sitting outdoors with their kids or even organizing a birthday party indoors. The Italian ices are also a great treat for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: This is all one-level, so there are no stairs or ramps necessary. There’s parking right next to the pizzeria and ample clearance for a wheelchair.”
“This is the best pizza I have ever had, nice crisp, light crust with just the right amount of toppings, no grease at all. I live in CT and thought no pizza was better than our New Haven ones, boy was I wrong!!! Looking forward to returning……soon!”

“Also packed with a line outside the door for late lunch - but the interior is spacious with also outdoor seating! We got the Hell Boy and Mutz, which was a lot flavorful than a typical white pie with a great oomph from the garlic. We've tried the Hell Boy slice at MSG but getting it fresh and hot here is best - the sesame dough crunch is unreal!”
“I usually don’t step foot in Brooklyn but when you’re here, might as well try what is heavily recommended, and that came in the form of Ugly Baby! We were instantly welcomed and you’re treated to a cozy little place that is so colorful! It instantly cheered up my cold wet self since it was raining outside. The waiters were so patient with explaining the levels of spice, and so so sooo attentive with everything! The food was amazing, we had the Panang Nuer (Beef shank and cumin red curry) and the Gai Nor Mai Dong (Chicken thigh, pickled bamboo shoot, red curry) this was their fabulous winter menu! Endless amount of refillable rice, since I had a lot of them, was a must for all the meat we got in the Panang Nuer! Gluten free is also marked clearly on the menu with an asterisk. Highly recommend coming here! A short walk from the train station!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free clearly marked!”
“One of the best meal I had in NYC. The place is cozy and the atmosphere is really great: nice music and dimmed lights. The food was amazing (see pictures below).”
“When I walked in the restaurant the delicious aromas let me know I made a good choice. The food was absolutely amazing with vegan/vegetarian options and even a complimentary gluten free appetizer. The staff was welcoming and the service great. The prices were reasonable, but the best part was the delicious food!!”
“This was one of my most pleasant dining experiences in the NYC area. This little spot located in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn is worth the trip out of the city, and certainly a trip down the street.Let's start with the atmosphere and decor. It is such a refined and beautiful room. It isn't overdone, but right up to the edge of perfection. While I was sitting there, I kept thinking that I'd like to create an interior like this.Then, the staff greeted us with such kindness. I can't tell you the times that I have entered an establishment and wondered if someone even saw me. This staff was so quick to welcome us. It was almost like they wanted us there.The food was so well-plated. Before I tasted the food, I was enamored. It was almost too pretty to eat.I had the papaya salad. I loved it. It was the perfect balance of sweetness to heat. There was perfect texture. Some peanuts added with fermented fish sauce, shrunken shrimp and had a little heat, for those sensitive to that. Then, I had the duck meatballs served in a beautiful green foam on sticks. Next was the pad see ew with pork belly. I forgot the actual name and couldn't find it on the online menu. But, I didn't forget the wonderful flavors. I also had the crispy purple eggplant. It was prepared with green and yellow bell peppers in a chili pepper seasoning.This would be a regular stop if lived anywhere close, and will be must stop on my return.”
“Bunna Cafe has some great Ethiopian food and is exclusively a vegetarian place on top of that (I don't know about most people but I personally love my meat). However, despite not serving meat, Bunna Cafe still delivers flavor at great prices and portion sizes. My favorites were the spicy lentil and mushroom one but I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. The hospitality was exceptional as well. No complaints here!”
“In all food is perfect! Amazing food, everything tastes good. I’ve been there 10+ times all very good experiences, only literally only one time the waitress ( didn’t look familiar to me) was a bit rude, other than that the food and deco and hospitality are all amazing! ??”
“A great place. The atmosphere is just what you would expect in Williamsburg!The cocktails are excellent, A knock out. Don’t forget the oysters: they are delicious.”
“The atmosphere is very pleasant and the service correct and efficient. It has a Michelin star but it does not force you to order set menus or any specific dish. The duck is super delicious and I would say it is the star dish of the house, the quantity is abundant, it is enough for 3 people. The pastas are also very delicious, the bucatini amatriciana comes in a good quantity, but the ripiene is a small dish. You have to book in advance and in general it is a very worthwhile experience.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Really nice place to hang after work. Love the atmosphere and the bathroom tip box and the feet only sink. Also love the blueberry crepe thing - I've never had such a dessert in my life. Got whatever wine the server recommended and it worked out well. The music was really good - chill but fun.”
“Fine Uruguayan cuisine. The best empanadas I've had. A laid-backambiance. Staff friendly and corteous. Prompt service. I have to try the rest of the menu. Highly recommended.”
“Really great spot with delicious, high-quality middle eastern food. Try the hummus – it's super buttery and delicious.Vegetarian options: The hummus and market mezze are next level”
“A true delight! I never thought I could have a premium Onakase experience in Bay Ridge. The chefs and staff are wonderful and the sushi is amazing. Book your reservation early for this culinary experience.”
“"WOW! Just had the most incredible dining experience at Yakar Steakhouse! The Cowboy Steak was absolutely INSANE - cooked to perfection, tender, juicy, and packed with flavor! The atmosphere was electric, upscale yet rustic, and the service was top-notch! Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations. The management even stopped by to ensure we were having a great time. The attention to detail was impressive, from the beautifully presented dishes to the extensive wine list. I can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious offerings! If you're a steak lover like me, do yourself a favor and get to Yakar Steakhouse ASAP! 5 stars isn't enough - I'd give it 10 stars if I could! ?"”
“I had the pleasure of spending my 50th birthday at Piccoli Trattoria with my family. Wonderful food and great atmosphere. I felt like such a birthday queen, thanks to the staff! Can’t wait to travel from Kansas to Brooklyn again so I can visit this wonderful restaurant. Thank you so much for a beautiful experience and meal!”
“I visited this indian restaurant at Myrtle ave and i ordered one veg thali the plate was filled with delicious food and the service was really good.Must try if you are around Myrtle ave , Brooklyn.”
“I have celiac, so I have to eat gluten-free. I found this place because of the reviews and wow it didn't disappoint. I got the Margherita pizza, and it was the best gf pizza I've had. I didn't have a reaction. The waiter was so friendly, and the customer service was A+. Music was great, too. Definitely coming back.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free”
“This is one of my go-to spots. The poke is delicious and fresh every time. Great portion size and variety. Fast, easy, and convenient to pick up on the way home or after the gym. The staff are always friendly and very kind.”
“Very clean, food was great. If you dine in they bring your food to you on a plate. no paper boxes and trays. The food was very flavorful I enjoyed the experience very much! definitely coming back again.”
“Asea Fusion has been my go-to spot for a while now, but they always surprise me with their latest overhaul. This time, it's all about their sushi, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer! Their Ootoro sushi is just out of this world - each piece is like a flavor explosion in your mouth. But what really sets Asea Fusion apart is their presentation. They know how to plate sushi like no other, turning a simple dish into a work of art. The colors, the arrangement - it's all so visually stunning. It's like they've taken your favorite Asian dishes and given them a sushi makeover, and let me tell you, it's pure culinary magic! And it's not just sushi they nail. I recently tried their baked lobsters and a fusion dish with beef short ribs, and both were mind-blowing. The beef was so tender, and the condiments they paired with it were just perfect. So if you're looking for a sushi experience that's a cut above the rest, Asea Fusion is the place to be. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!”
“I win here October 15 for my birthday. My granddaughters were there madman son, was doing even Magnússon in a wheelchair. He offered him something to drink, even though he couldn’t drink it, but it was nice that they thought about him they took our pictures for us. it was very fast with bringing out the food and I enjoyed. Definitely will come back”
“An excellent store. They KNOW how to retail properly. Even when there is only one person ahead of you on line and the boss is sitting down in back, he gets up to serve. No one waits long here. Store is always very clean. Staff is always very personable and friendly. They even managed to do Covid right, with a line outside. I love a place where you are treated as if you are valued.Vegetarian options: I guess. It’s ice cream.Dietary restrictions: Kinda toughParking: It’s worth the search.Kid-friendliness: Very friendlyWheelchair accessibility: The store is accessible”
“This is a Gravesend staple, a longstanding once cream store with a friendly staff and delicious products. I’ve been a customer here most of my days and I’ve never had a disappointing experience. There are some vegan flavors, which is nice, but I would call ahead and ask what’s in stock first. There’s a medium sized parking lot and metered parking in the street and the store is large enough to accommodate a few customers that are ordering for take out.Vegetarian options: There are a number of vegan (dairy-free) flavors available, but give the store a call to see what’s in stock or if the soft serve machines are functioning. These flavors may rotate seasonally.Dietary restrictions: There are a number of vegan (dairy-free) flavors available, but give the store a call to see what’s in stock or if the soft serve machines are functioning. These flavors may rotate seasonally.Parking: There is a private parking lot behind the store and street parking that is paid/metered.Kid-friendliness: There are always many families present at this location buying ice cream together, and there is beautiful artwork surrounding the building if you look at it from the outside. There are kids birthday cakes and fun toppings/toppers available as well.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs in this establishment and a single walkway/aisle where you can browse the menu or look into the freezers to see what’s in stock. The only limitation to a wheelchair is reaching out to the top of the counter which would be slightly above the waist-high freezers beneath them. There is a parking lot in the back.”
“I think this place is great. Especially for a date night too. The Temaki they serve is great for a 2 bite situation, making it really easy to share between 2… if that’s your thing.To be honest, coming here and getting the classic & signature is just as $ as getting delivery sushi, maybe a bit more expensive but it’s worth it. High quality ingredients & thought out flavors.Personal favorite temaki is the XO scallop.The whole entire restaurant is gluten free by the way, so that might win a lot of people over.The interior & vibe is definitely for a certain demographic and will become aged out within maybe a year or two. The interior is on the same note of that Tend instagram dentist place, and that’s not a compliment. The music they play reminds me of what they would play at like a retail store.Dietary restrictions: The entire restaurant is gluten free & can help gluten intolerance with their meal.”
“Antidote Restaurant totally nails the Chinese food scene! The vibes are cool – a mix of old-school and modern. The menu's like a journey through China, and everything tastes spot-on. The staff is friendly and knows their stuff, making the whole experience chill and tasty. Whether you're into casual eats or something fancier, Antidote is your go-to for legit Chinese grub.”
“I didn’t end up coming here for brunch but I heard that’s the best. Came for a birthday dinner and had very creative dishes. The atmosphere is very simple, calming, and nice!”

“Saw this not too long ago on NBC. It did not disappoint. Lucky we got reservations for the weekend we were in NYC. The staff is nice and knowledgeable. Most have worked there for a loooong time. Our server worked here for over 20 years. The cocktails were terrific as were the steaks and sides. Perfect beef, melts in your mouth. No credit cards for dine in.”
“The food here is impeccable. Just wow, I can’t stop raving and talking about this dinner.I went for the fall menu of 2023 and it was everything and more. From the service to the playlist to the open kitchen everything was perfect.Each course told a story, each bite was bursting with flavor. Sure it is very pricey but it was the best meal of my life, no regrets.”
“Favorite restaurant, delicious food, sublime wine, amazing chefs Robbie & Sam , friendly and welcoming owners, Clement & Simone go above and beyond to make your experience of their gem of a restaurant simply the best! Love this treasure in our neighborhood, make your reservation and try as much as you can on the menu, every mouthful is just wonderful!!”

“Came to NY for work and stumbled upon this GEM in downtown Brooklyn. Carlos is running an incredible Chef’s Table experience, better than any Michelin star restaurant I’ve been to in Chicago.My S.O and I had a romantic evening paired with hand picked wines from Carlos himself and an exceptional tasting menu. First time I left a fine dining experience FULL. The food was not only a work of art but an educational experience created with the highest quality ingredients available!”
“This is the epitome of a fine dining experience and establishment. Chef Victoria and her team delivers exceptionally curated dishes with each and every bite. Each one packed with bold flavors, textures, and aroma. The open space itself was the perfect setting. From the beautiful ceramics to the perfectly curated music. **Highly recommended**”
“Love love love this place. I found it off Google and decided to try in last June for my bday dinner with my friends. 1st off, it’s, one of the prettiest restaurants I've been to, the dance floor in the middle was awesome! Dj and singers were great! They played and sang all genre of music, which kept us on the dancefloor. The menu is quite big.I ordered the lamb. Everything we ordered was really, really good. The drinks were small but good. Then we stayed for the show, which is an extra $25 per person. It was definitely not a waste of our money. The show was out of this world. I would definitely visit again.I highly recommend this place!!”
“The alcoholic pairing blew me away. The food, not so much. I can only recommend Restaurant Yuu if you love wine. For $180 you get to try 12 wine and sake with wildly distinct characters. Most of the bottles were priced above $85, with some being in the $250-300 range. Usually wine pairings are pretty bad value because only one or two stand out. The pairing here felt fully worth the money. Almost everything tasted amazing. Frankly, the drinks far outclassed the food in complexity of flavor and aroma.The food was much more about aesthetics than taste. Half of the food arrived lukewarm, perhaps from too much tweezer work. It was frustrating. Things were either not hot enough or not cold enough. There were glaring execution mistakes. It often felt like they were adding more and more components for quantity’s sake, but it did not translate to deeper flavors. The truly delicious dishes (asparagus, bread, sawara, squab, signature pithivier) were the ones with the simplest presentations that arrived piping hot. Though, looking back, the second half of the meal was really strong. It’s just that I sat through the first half hoping the food will get better at some point (which it did).In short, the drink pairing felt worth the $180, but it’s hard to justify $250 for the tasting menu when half the dishes were executed sloppily.”
“Good omakase place. Shari preparation is above average, good amount of rice, good temp, good tightness and vinegar combinations. Very few choices of hikarimono here, and Aji was just ok. Since I am a pure edomae enthusiast, an offering of Wagyu sushi (an extra price, of course i did not order bz it is not a pure edomae tradition) was disappointment to me since smoke smelling of wagyu beef spread all over the sushi bar. Services were excellent and a very nice, spacious atmosphere inside. I may try this place again for the second time. Overall reasonable to good omakase sushi.”
“Absolutely great food and its presentation amazing. The views, ambience and live piano music wonderful! The service was impeccable. I am a true New Yorker and difficult to please - I am not a tourist - and this is definitely a 5 star must experience restaurant. Thank you The River Cafe for making our dinner truly special and memorable!”
“The experience at this sushi restaurant was truly exceptional! Sylvia, our waitress, played a crucial role in making it so. Not only was the sushi of the highest quality, but Sylvia's attentiveness and knowledge added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal. Her warm demeanor made us feel welcome and valued throughout the evening. A dining experience elevated by both exquisit food and outstanding service.”
“Easy 5 Star for this place - one of the better steaks I've had in New York up there with Keen's for me. The place is really cool with a solid 1920s style and vibe and I definitely understand why they're getting more hype these days. Our wait staff was super accommodating - a friend was slightly late but they sat us, served us and didn't skip on anything. Started with the bread, chicken pate and the mushrooms, which were solid, shared a couple salads that were gigantic and then our steaks all came out great. I skipped on the charred lemon thing they do, but my friends were hype on it. Even on it's own, it was great. One thing that was kinda funny was the drink list. For some reason a Weller Special Reserve was $60/pour at 2 ounces, while Weller CYPB was like $24? Stagg was $19. Whoever runs the drinks program might want to read up on current market values, or if they do know then I love what's going on here, lol. Solid, solid wine list, too.”
“Just ate out there with my wife and in-laws and had a great time! The new sizzling steak was delicious and the flatbread was AMAZING, but coolest of all was the sparkstick on the dessert! Great experience!”
“When I walked in the restaurant the delicious aromas let me know I made a good choice. The food was absolutely amazing with vegan/vegetarian options and even a complimentary gluten free appetizer. The staff was welcoming and the service great. The prices were reasonable, but the best part was the delicious food!!”
“Couples or parties of 2 get ready to cozy up to your fellow patrons. If you need to get up tables will have to be pulled forward to let you out. Larger groups definitely have more room and spacing, but nonetheless the experience will be intimately loud. We came for the highly reviewed Coniglio (braised rabbit) which did not disappoint, but the Spaghetti Neri is a must try. The octopus was perfectly cooked and enrobed in a peppery sauce whose "slow burn" made it hard to put my fork down or prevent my partner from eating out of my plate. Their oxtail and cuttlefish appetizer is an "interesting" experience. The texture was heavy on the creamy and soft with flavors that channeled childhood memories for me, but were in conflict with each other for my partner. Thankfully, the Primitivo Orion was sublime on the palate in all the ways. If you're in the mood for a light dessert that isn't heavy on the sweetness, their panna cotta with wine infused cherries and almond biscotti is the perfect end cap. This place gets packed, so make a reservation. Our 6:45 pm booking was the sweet spot where the turnover from earlier diners gave us a little space for hand holding across the table and a mini lull to shout my man a happy birthday.”
“Bunna Cafe has some great Ethiopian food and is exclusively a vegetarian place on top of that (I don't know about most people but I personally love my meat). However, despite not serving meat, Bunna Cafe still delivers flavor at great prices and portion sizes.

“Welcome to Birria island. Delicious well seasoned marinated beef Birria. I had the grilled cheese and dumpling. It was E V E R Y T H I N G!! What a immaculate taste. Service was amazing. Ashley took her time while assisting me and Evenin recommended her favorite dish. She was super sweet. Overall I'm extremely satisfied that I gave this franchise a try. It was very clean, spacious and organized. Thank you to the amazing chefs and wonderful staff.”
“One of my favorite pizza spots in Brooklyn. They are known for their Detroit style square pies. Excellent soft dough with delicious sauce & cheese. The inside is very electric & creatively put together. My first Detroit style pizza experience & I loved it.Parking: Paid street parking available outside but can be a bit difficult to find an available spot.”
“My all time favorite taco place in the city. Los Tacos No.1 was my favorite until I tried this place. Honestly you can't go wrong with any of their tacos but their pastor is my favorite. Whenever I am in BK, I will always make a stop here. Also try Tako Sando and Mallard Drake (al pastor hamburger) which is right down the ”
“My wife and as New Mexican natives have searched far and wide on our travels for “real New Mexican food”. Santa Fe BK is unquestionably the best we have had. John and Melissa, the owners did their research and it shows in the food. The place itself is charming, especially the outdoor patio with “Betty” the apple tree anchoring it. Owners were very friendly and knowledgeable. Their Chimayo red and Hatch green chiles (the heart of New Mexican cooking) were excellent. We’ll definitely be back on our next NY trip.”
“A perfect establishment—solid breakfast food, kind servers, and a vibe that reminds me of going to breakfast with my dad as a kid. Other diners in the city are at least twice as expensive and don’t provide half the warmth or charm of this place. Thank you thank you Mike’s!!!”
“Excellent place lunch in Brooklyn, I love the chicken shawarma plate, and I always have some falafels on the side. Their falafel is some of the best in the area.”
“Really good bagel. The place is quite small but you have some chairs in order to eat there. You can always order to go. The place is not in manhattan so you will need to travel 30’ on subway in order to reach the place. The service was really good. The only thing to mentioned is that you need to go early because if not some of the bagels are not going to be available. Great food quality.”
“Had a great time enjoying dinner at Lohi Rooftop. Came to enjoy a late rooftop view as summer was dying down. The menu is limited but has tasty options. We ordered the double smash burger, the salad, and the chimichurri steak. The smash burger was the highlight for me. Lohi also doubles as an event space as well. Have been to a couple of parties here during the summer which were always a good time. Make sure to tip the Bartenders”
“food: fantasticatmosphere and service: top notchfast paced and festive... friendly and welcoming... the owner was there making sandwiches and greeting customers!make this a stop when in the neighborhood”
“Kudos to the bartender super fast super quick nice guy. The crowd on the other hand a little bit to Hipster for me, but drinks are strong enough to make you forget their here”
“Being possessed of a very childlike palate that only enjoys extremely sweet and soda/juice/candy-type beverages, I used to hate beer and had never had one In even remotely enjoyed. However, trying some of Evil Twin's sours, I'm definitely a beer convert (well, Evil Twin's sours and similarly sweet beers, at least).”
“Wonderful experience all around. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive. It was very helpful when it came to suggesting pairings. The wine and cocktail list is great. The food was really excellent. I recommend the Amberjack and Hamachi collar. Dessert, we had the mezcal flan. 10s across the board.”
“5 stars are not enough to tell you how good this place is. We've been staying in the Franklin Guesthouse (hotel adjacent to Madre) for a couple of nights and decided to give Madre a shot - boy were we in for a treat! Firstly, shout out to Armando, who made us feel immediately welcomed with his warmth and energy! For food, we got the Frutti di Mare, Croquetas, Brussels Sprouts, Cornbread Madeleines (compliments from chef) and Chicken - massive MASSIVE props to Chef Bryan and his very talented team. To say that they cooked "well" would be the understatement of 2022. They absolutely blew our minds with top quality medley of ingredients, depth of flavor, and masterful execution in every way. Cocktails were fun and delectable, which added the perfect "pop" to the culinary rocket ship that Madre served up. Just when my wife and I were ready to call it a night, Chef Bryan and Armando were kind enough to bring out the Pot de Creme for us, which was the bow and ribbon on this very special dinner. My only regret of the night was not having enough stomachs to enjoy more of what Madre could serve up. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Madre!”
“Saw this not too long ago on NBC. It did not disappoint. Lucky we got reservations for the weekend we were in NYC. The staff is nice and knowledgeable. Most have worked there for a loooong time. Our server worked here for over 20 years. The cocktails were terrific as were the steaks and sides. Perfect beef, melts in your mouth. No credit cards for dine in.”
“Savoury meats and falafels. Tried the lamb shank and the mixed grill, and both were delicious! Falafel was super crispy yet deliciously soft on the inside. Staff is great, there is seating outside in the shed and room for strollers too!”
“Also packed with a line outside the door for late lunch - but the interior is spacious with also outdoor seating! We got the Hell Boy and Mutz, which was a lot flavorful than a typical white pie with a great oomph from the garlic. We've tried the Hell Boy slice at MSG but getting it fresh and hot here is best - the sesame dough crunch is unreal!”
“If you happen to be around Brooklyn and have about an half hour or an hour to spend, I would definitely recommend this place.It's close to the subway.This is a very eye opening place to visit if you are interested in dashi in general. The store has variety of dashi for you to try (also vegan options) and also allows you to create your own, which is super fun and educational.They have a lot of imported japanese products + meal, which could be a bit pricy; however, consider you dont have to fly to Japan to get them, they are acceptable and worth try at least once.The atmosphere is super nice. Nice lighting/furnitures and everything. The staffs were also super informative and could help you in a lot in making decisions toward unending dashi ingredients.”
“Came here for my girlfriend's birthday and it was an amazing experience. The food was phenomenal and since it was our first time there, the staff were very helpful helping us pick items.We ended up getting the whipped ricotta dip, babaganoush, salmon belly skewer, hanger steak, and shaksuhka. Everything turned out amazing and we actually ended up getting a total of 3 extra pita orders as we were eating.Would highly recommend their whipped ricotta dip, that was the highlight of the night”
“Hidden Pearl is a true Brooklyn oasis. With tropical Japanese vibes, records on the turntable, and a top-notch staff, there's not a better date spot in Greenpoint—especially when the sun is still streaming in through the skylight! The cocktails are vibrant and refreshing, packing a flavorful punch I have been craving this summer. Highly recommend!”
“Everything was perfection - from their service, to their drinks, to their food. We got the escargot to start, followed by the steak frites, pappardelle, and scallops. Everything was very yummy but the scallops were my favorite, and I will be ordering them again the next time I come!”
“Great food and staff went above and beyond for a special request. We jokingly asked if they could make onion rings for a friend at our table. We had the best onion rings ever, along with my favorite pork dish in a LONG time. Great night, don’t sleep on Gus’s.”
“A great, old school, Italian restaurant! Crisp service by waiters in tuxedos. Veal dishes are outstanding, especially the Veal Parmigiano. Safe room for dessert and a perfect espresso. Try the cannoli.”
“Love the soft and fluffy pita! They came out puffy and were perfect to eat with labneh and salt cod & eggplant dip. Don’t forget to save some for the lamb meatballs. The roasted kale was surprisingly tasty too. Great service ?!”
“Went to Meadowsweet restaurant for dinner with my family. We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff were so attentive, helpful and nice. The food amazing!recommend this restaurant! We will be returning soon.”
“Scottadito is a cozy restaurant with seating in the front and back of the restaurant. If you want a more intimate setting, opt for the front. If you're okay with a bigger room and dont mind some louder background conversation the back is a lovely choice to sit as well. My fiance and I started off complimentary bread and dipping sauce. We followed that up with the katerina salad which comes with a tart dressing and generous amount of cheese. My personal favorite of the night was the tagliatelle with speck and brie... absolutely cheesy, creamy, heaven. The saltiness from the speck balanced out the creaminess from the pasta sauce. The noodles were thin and almost reminded me of egg noodles. Definitely a one of a kind tagliatelle. My fiance ordered the penne with spicy vodka sauce and spicy sausage. The sausage was broken up into nice chunks and definitely came with a kick. The portions were generous and we left the restaurant stuffed. Scottadito also offers small backyard seating, which I can see it opening up to perhaps a micro wedding for the fall/summer. Will definitely be back for more pasta and to try more dishes. Yum!”
“I usually don’t step foot in Brooklyn but when you’re here, might as well try what is heavily recommended, and that came in the form of Ugly Baby! We were instantly welcomed and you’re treated to a cozy little place that is so colorful! It instantly cheered up my cold wet self since it was raining outside. The waiters were so patient with explaining the levels of spice, and so so sooo attentive with everything! The food was amazing, we had the Panang Nuer (Beef shank and cumin red curry) and the Gai Nor Mai Dong (Chicken thigh, pickled bamboo shoot, red curry) this was their fabulous winter menu! Endless amount of refillable rice, since I had a lot of them, was a must for all the meat we got in the Panang Nuer! Gluten free is also marked clearly on the menu with an asterisk. Highly recommend coming here! A short walk from the train station!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free clearly marked!”
“We had just dropped off our bags at the hotel and were hungry and came across this place. We shared the pizzas and we were not disappointed. The servers for very friendly. This spot was simple and had music playing in the background.”
“This is my favorite Italian restaurant in NYC. And they have the best pizza in the city in my opinion. I’m Italian and it’s very hard to find true Italian pizza!! But you can definitely find it at Aromi. You can also chat with the owners and the staff, they are really kind and the service is awesome. Also they have real delicious mascarpone and every time I ate that I wanted to cry because it reminds me of Italy! Really recommended!”
“i took away one star for the salad - please i am begging you, reevaluate the salad. otherwise a perfect meal. great wine, crazy olive martini.Vegetarian options: good bread, salad, interesting mushroom dishes, pasta etc”
“Great seafood spot in sunset park that doesn’t feel like u in sunset park but drinks are on point and Jonny knows how to keep a good vibe goin, plus decoration here are ”
“The lamb haneeth is so succulent, tender, and delicious. The opening soup, a spiced lamb broth is a great way to awaken the palate before the haneeth. Quality accompanying bread.”
“The servers at Casa Ora are super friendly, focus on their customers and are very attentive. My server Freimar, took time to answer any questions that I had, pertaining to some of the items on the menu .She had such a wonderful personality and really made my dining there, all the more enjoyable. The food I ordered was well seasoned, I should know that, as I am a cooking school grad, and worked at Port Authority of NY and NJ ,four different facilities, in their kitchen and dining room/cafeterias for 20 years and six months. I am also a Veteran of the US ARMY,served for 17.5 years. I totally enjoyed the Pastelito,, The Brisket was most excellent, had a very nice flavor,.There was a mild garlic sauce that I put on it,made it taste even better. I just loved the sweet plantains, which came with sour cream I had a glass of Mongarda Brut Prosecco,, which was very good. I ordered a cup of Cappuccino, which was very good. I really enjoyed this meal and most definitely will return. I plan to bring a very special friend of my family, who is from Peru,the next time that I dine at that restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant, I give them 5 stars and as far as Food Presentation, they get a 10 from me.......”
“A fantastic Mexican/seafood fusion spot!We came here for my husband’s birthday and everything we ordered was divine. We started off with the salsas (you’re going to want to love spicy food if you order this) and got 2 aguachiles (both superb), shrimp tacos (I could have eaten 5 of these), and the whole fish (perfectly cooked, so flavorful and tender).Will definitely be returning soon!Vegetarian options: It’s a heavily seafood based menu so not sure I would recommend for strict vegetarians”
“Neighborhood gem. Great decor, homey, comfortable but well appointed. I have dined here alone and with family, both times it was a good atmosphere. GM Michael is really good and runs a good staff. The food is delicious- good for all types of diet restrictions. Fresh ingredients well prepared. Last but not least also great cocktails. Host and server were friendly and attentive. I will for sure be coming back here!”
“This was one of my most pleasant dining experiences in the NYC area. This little spot located in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn is worth the trip out of the city, and certainly a trip down the street.Let's start with the atmosphere and decor. It is such a refined and beautiful room. It isn't overdone, but right up to the edge of perfection. While I was sitting there, I kept thinking that I'd like to create an interior like this.Then, the staff greeted us with such kindness. I can't tell you the times that I have entered an establishment and wondered if someone even saw me. This staff was so quick to welcome us. It was almost like they wanted us there.The food was so well-plated. Before I tasted the food, I was enamored. It was almost too pretty to eat.I had the papaya salad. I loved it. It was the perfect balance of sweetness to heat. There was perfect texture. Some peanuts added with fermented fish sauce, shrunken shrimp and had a little heat, for those sensitive to that. Then, I had the duck meatballs served in a beautiful green foam on sticks. Next was the pad see ew with pork belly. I forgot the actual name and couldn't find it on the online menu. But, I didn't forget the wonderful flavors. I also had the crispy purple eggplant. It was prepared with green and yellow bell peppers in a chili pepper seasoning.This would be a regular stop if lived anywhere close, and will be must stop on my return.”
“This place combines food, drinks, shopping, and scenic views, making it perfect for indulging in culinary delights and beverages. The architectural design of this place is very unique, offering different perspectives of New York's landscape from various locations, ideal for photography. Additionally, they have a food and drink museum with walls adorned with texts and photos about food and travel, making it suitable for those interested in understanding the culture behind food.”
“Delicious BBQ in Industry City, Brooklyn, NY. The brisket and cornbread were too die for!! So good. The pastrami, thick cut bacon ? was very flavorful but super rich and filling, so please share!! It’s a self-serve place, so if you’re looking for table service you won’t get it. Be the food was very good.”
“This restaurant was fantastic and we are so happy leaving there. They went out of their way for us, especially Monzu who went especially above and beyond to meet our needs. I had a weird request that they didn’t normally have on the menu and he made it with such pleasure and utmost hospitality. The food was fresh, delicious and plentiful. We will definitely be returning. Homey, cozy vibes and comfortable atmosphere. Quality food and amazing service- can’t ask for more. GO HERE!”
“The best cocktails I’ve had in NY. Kashke bademjoon was so good. Mast musir and whipped feta so good as well as Barbari nan. Mushroom Kebab very good. I didn’t like the Tah Dig (Krispy rice) it was like Tah Chin without chicken in a sauce. Will I go there again!? Hell yeah!”
“Very Friendly service really appreciated it , takoyaki squid balls r very nice , pork belly buns r allright , seared tofus r good too , light fries tempura things r not bad , main dish Ramen's Broth I've with pork belly is really rich broth really nice , little bit on salty side, noodles r not me favorites, had yellow ramen noodles , used to like Chinese ramen , Lao Being Fein in Queens , have good noodles but broths r d best , more meat , more broth :/) honest opinion, sincerely,,”
“Relaxing and delicious restaurant in a cute area in Brooklyn. We wanted to get out of the usual flavors and dishes you see at many restaurants in NY and we accomplished it here. The food was very authentic and delicious, we felt like we were back in Spain. Highly recommend it for a nice weekend dinner.”
“I will actually get all hoity toity food reviewer with this place. It was sublime.The thing I won't be able to stress enough is how well every thing I tried had the most perfect balance of flavors. You tasted everything, nothing was overpowering.For starters we had the seminola bread with oil, the broccoli rabe, the tuna and red pepper corsitini and the ricotta and honey crostini. The ricotta and honey crostini is a really strong recommend.For the main dish I had the maltagliati with pork sugo Bianco. The pork was excellent. My kid though, they hit the jackpot. They ordered the cavatelli with hot sausage and brown sage butter and it's literally their favorite pasta dish they've ever had. Which is saying a lot because they've been a fiend for spaghetti and meatballs the majority of their life.Our server Nicholas was an absolute pro. Very attentive and quick. The atmosphere is great. As always though, that star rating is affected by size. It's a tight fit between some of the tables, but the ambiance is wonderful.”
“Really just the Platonic ideal of a Brooklyn restaurant - the kind of place you want to come back to again and again. Great food, great service, perfect environment!”
“Had my first dining experience this evening. My friend and I split the tuna tartare - honestly I could easily ravage that plate solo and order another! Then I had the pappardelle….talk about scrumptious! Probably the best pasta dish I have ever had! Then the ricotta cheesecake for dessert. For my cocktail I sampled the Mercutio ( huge plus that they’ve all got Shakespeare names! Love love love ! ) I shall return!!!!!”
“We went to Tanoreen for a second time. It is fabulous. This place is legit. I bought the cookbook. Fabulous wonderful. Just go here and enjoy.Vegetarian options: Veg family members had no challenge and enjoyed very much”
“we sat at the bar tonight (sunday). our server/bar tender danny was so knowledgeable of all the dishes and how to space out each corse. also made the best old fashioned— and we have a high standard for them. will 100% be coming back with our friends.”
“Quality Food, Service and Ambience! If you want a Great tasting steak, cooked to perfection; You have to go here. Family friendly atmosphere. Whatever your preference, it’s all Good. Definitely a place you’ll wanna go back too. Can’t wait to go again!”
“A full 5 star review for many reasons! Dim Sum was AMAZING. Buns were filled with meat, airy, hot, and very tasty. The vegetarian in our group ordered dry noodles with vegetables which seems to contain three different types of mushrooms, and tasted heavenly. Tea was hot and filled often. Service was impeccable. GREAT experience. And one of our group is Asian and has high expectations! We can't wait to return.”
“The food here is impeccable. Just wow, I can’t stop raving and talking about this dinner.I went for the fall menu of 2023 and it was everything and more. From the service to the playlist to the open kitchen everything was perfect.Each course told a story, each bite was bursting with flavor. Sure it is very pricey but it was the best meal of my life, no regrets.”
“We order take out from here often but dined in before too. The things we order most often are the Larb Salad, the Tom Kha, the short rib either in Khao Soi (as pictured here) or the curry version, Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, basil rice. I like how they have the options of crispy pork belly and crispy duck but after trying it 3-4 times, it's almost always overcooked and dry. Almost like it's been refried several times and becomes tough. Instead I'd recommend the rib since it's pretty tender. Definitely get Khanom Tuay if you like coconut, mochi-like, dessert.”
“Mussels and fries are the way to go :) The chicken dish looked delicious too but I didn’t try it.Great ambience and service. The passion fruit dessert was tasty + tart.”
“Cafe Mars is truly out of this world! The food is delicious, exciting, and fun — the Waves pasta dish is our favorite in the city. They have excellent wine and amaro/grappa lists and are eager to find ways to introduce you to new tastes. The ambience is one of bright, upbeat, whimsy, with a number of surprises that I won't spoil here. But the star of Cafe Mars is the staff. Everyone you encounter from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave makes you feel like a beloved guest at their wonderfully wubulous dinner party. They are all warm and welcoming with just the right amount of weird, and they've mastered the art of authentic hospitality. Can't wait for our next visit!”
“Went with a friend before shuffleboard at Royal palms. Amazing cocktails to start, friendly bartender service at the bar. We went with a wings starter which were crispy and delicious. Buddy had beef bulgogi, I had the spicy pork. Both were delicious. Spicy pork ended up being messy with the lettuce wraps but that could be a me problem. We ended with the beignets. Incredible, felt like I was back in New Orleans.Recommend.”
“literally everything was perfect here. the food was TO DIE FOR and the staff were so friendly & kind! i’m already looking forward to the next time i come back!”
“A restaurant that has been on my list for too long! Tried their winter menu and it was so good! The ricotta gnodi has the most fresh red crab. The tuna toast was so flavorful. The yellow cake is so simple yet so delicious. A good restaurant can really turn simplicity into perfection. Bar Bête really did it! The service and ambience were outstanding too! The only thing is (not the restaurant’s fault at all) I wish the party of bros were not there yelling. I think they might have some misunderstanding about the restaurant’s name. It’s not a bar. It’s a perfect spot for date nights and friends gatherings but respect other guests’ experiences first.”
“Pecking House had some of the best fried chicken I have had in recent times. It was elevated and you could tell there is an extra level of sophistication to their chicken. Different flavors, different techniques and some Asian fusion aspects that pair so perfectly well with the classic American style fried chicken. Cornbread was excellent, dirty fried rice was also superb and the chili chicken sandwich really hit the spot. Can't wait to return to Pecking House in the future! Service was also excellent; super attentive and next level for a more casual place like this one. Don't sleep on the Peanut butter pudding!”
“Iconic Williamsburg brunch with a divine menu. The pancakes were deliciously fluffy study syrup that didn't overpower. Sandwiches looked great too. Quality of food and unbeatable location are the highlights of this venue for me. Excellent coffee.”
“There are not enough stars for this place!! It’s beyond any expectations! I will start with the atmosphere. It is cozy, European, comfortable, and like home!Food- I tried more different things, and honestly, I don’t know what I could recommend here; everything is so delicious, and I enjoyed every piece!Drinks- unique, fantastic mix, gives you an even better experience of all I already mentioneddService - people who work here make you feel comfortable, and they are ready for all your questions about food and drinks. Just ask them if you are not sure, and they will give you the best recommendation!!All in all, I suggest you to try this place! From my heart, I recommend this restaurant!”
“best meal i've ever had. every single menu item is delectable, all perfectly balanced. transports you right back home and i'm not even Taiwanese. all love to Mama Lee ”
“I had to share about my recent experience at Outback, thanks to the outstanding service provided by Nouha. It was hands down the best dining experience I've had there!Nouha's kindness and attention to detail truly made this visit stand out. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel right at home. Her genuine care and hospitality enhanced the entire dining experience, making everything taste even better.Not only was Nouha incredibly attentive to my needs throughout the meal, but she also went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect. Her friendly demeanor and efficient service made the ambiance even more enjoyable, adding an extra layer of comfort to the dining experience.I can honestly say that Nouha made this trip to Outback more memorable than any other visit I've had before. Her exceptional service has set the bar high for future visits, and I can't wait to see more of her in the future. She's truly an asset to the Outback team!If you're looking for a dining experience that's not only delicious but also accompanied by top-notch service, I highly recommend asking for Nouha. You won't be disappointed!”
“Been meaning to check this out for a while now and finally got to it, and now I’m kicking myself for not going earlier. Everyone’s right about the Mussels, they’re not to be missed. Burrata and Pork Shoulder Pasta were also a hit. Drinks are creative and tasty! This is definitely a restaurant where you’ll want to go back to try every item. Staff was very friendly, kitchen bar is a fun spot. Loved!”
“This is easily one of the best dining experiences that I've had in NYC since I moved here eight years ago. Before coming in, I had never had Georgian food before and didn't know what to expect. Every single item was absolutely delicious and the service was even better. I was curious about the amber wine and the server was nice enough to give me a taste before pouring a full glass. Even the Georgian sparkling water was tasty. Not to mention, the actual decor and energy of the restaurant was so great. Everybody in there seemed happy and it was pretty packed for a Wednesday night but still intimate. Before we left, our food was boxed up and we got a handwritten note with our receipt. I'll definitely be back sooner than later!”
“A true gem of Sichuan delights sending tingling sensations straight to your taste buds. A sultry and classy atmosphere perfect for a second date or surprise visit from your step-mom — the vibes here are top notch. Recommendations are the Ma Po Tofu (best in NYC) and Diced Chicken with Chili Pepper, both providing a one-way ticket to tingle town.”
“While the restaurant has closed they are operating as a food truck. Please check their Instagram to see their daily location. Lately they have been in bed stuy.This review is for my visit over the summer. We went on a Sunday and received the following: seafood mac n cheese; hot honey oxtail sliders; blueberry cornbread and the Cater 2 U which has salmon, shrimp and crab cakes. No complaints on the food, the portion size or the customer service. Everyone is always nice. I've only met the male owner during my visits and he is the best! Sad to see the restaurant go but happy to see that they are still making food. Definitely check them out when you can.”
“Never disappoints! Fausto is not just a community gem but should be a destination for everyone in NYC looking to experience fine Italian cuisine with an excellent and approachable wine list!!”
“This place provides an amazing and intimate dining experience. The staff, especially our server Luis, we're fantastic. We drove all the way from the Connecticut/Massachusetts border to try the food after reading the reviews. Everything was better than expected.My husband's birthday was made all the more special by this visit.We tried the Mezze Plate, Salmon Kebab, and Chicken Ouzi. The flavor combinations were excellent, portions were extremely generous in size...I just wish I lived closer so I can try different things on the menu more often.I apologize for my photo quality, I didn't want to use a flash and ruin the ambiance for the other patrons. The photo is the Chicken Ouzi.We definitely plan on visiting again.”
“ask around and people were telling its like been in Japan , been open less 3yrs and I was impress the entire area has moved up in style , can't wait to see all thats still coming .”
“One of the best Steaks I eat in Brooklyn , “brooklyn Steak”was Fabulous , don’t hesitate on visit this Gem place in Brooklyn, very near the museum of transit , lovely area!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I recommend everything about this Restaurant....The food was amazing and so was the service.....The menu was simple and elegant. A nice selection of wine. My favorite was the chicken liver mousse with pistachio for appetizers. In addition, I like that they continue to follow Covid-19 protocol. We chose outdoor dining and felt safe and we really had a wonderful time.”
“I truly love this place. Everything is perfect there. Great food and atmosphere but mostly is the people. I always feel welcomed and appreciated. The biggest thanks to Andres who is always taking care of each customer making sure we are all feel good! Thank you guys and see you soon! You’re the best!”
“Love love love this place. I found it off Google and decided to try in last June for my bday dinner with my friends. 1st off, it’s, one of the prettiest restaurants I've been to, the dance floor in the middle was awesome! Dj and singers were great! They played and sang all genre of music, which kept us on the dancefloor. The menu is quite big.I ordered the lamb. Everything we ordered was really, really good. The drinks were small but good. Then we stayed for the show, which is an extra $25 per person. It was definitely not a waste of our money. The show was out of this world. I would definitely visit again.I highly recommend this place!!”
“what a sweet little spot! the staff were welcoming and friendly and the restaurant is gorg inside. we came for brunch and had the çilbir to share between 2 people, which comes with several sides. the meal was refreshing, light, and so, so tasty.”
“Their aged burger is a flavor-packed delight, while the Eggs and Mayonnaise dish offers a unique twist on a classic. And don't miss their comforting fish pie. With cozy ambiance and attentive service, it's a dining experience you won't forget!”
“Just a perfect Spanish experience. Wines are sublime and different , food delicious, Silvia the Chef is outstanding, service quick, polite and friendly, atmosphere and music very authentic. An oasis in Brooklyn, a must to visit!!!!”
“Everyone is right, the service is very good! All the seafood was large and fresh. Meats were good. Even the drinks were part of the AYCE and I feel like they rarely are at these types of places. Totally worth it! Go early as it gets crowded later at into the evening.”
“I saw this place on instagram and added it to my bucket list. My husband and I traveled from Atlanta just to try The Monkey King. The atmosphere is comfortable and laid back. Our waiter was accommodating and made us feel like we were seating in VIP. We met the owner Mike. He was professional and was grateful for us traveling to Brooklyn New York to try his restaurant. The taste from each dish blew us away from the concocted herbs and spices. We will definitely return.”
“I love everything about this place. The food is a bomb and the staff are all great.I personally think all the pho in NYC is so mid. For NY standards, the pho is pretty good. But what Di An Di does really well is the rest of the menu. So good.Please just turn the music down!!! It’s so loud.”
“It is always to come back to this great place. I love stuff there and the atmosphere they are making there. Unique drinks, with great flavors you'll never think off. Amazing food, always tasting delicious. Highly recommended to visit while being in Greenpoint.”
“Amazing! beyond expectation! Wonderful! Recommended to everyone! This hotpot restaurant is definitely my favorite in the city! The ingredients are fresh, the variety is rich, the service is attentive, and the environment is comfortable. You can enjoy delicious hot pot every time you come here, and create wonderful memories whether you are with family or friends. Highly recommended to all friends who love hot pot!”
“This was the best Mexican I've had in Park Slope. I had the chicken and my girlfriend had the steak. Both meals were delicious, but I'd say the chicken was the best chicken I've had in years, hands down. Juicy with crispy skin and delicious sauce. The service was slow (took 40+ minutes to receive our food after ordering), but that's probably because we didn't get drinks or apps. Both looked great, but not for us. The vibe is a little loud, but great decor with very pleasant energy. Looking forward to bringing my parents here when they visit next time.”

“If you are looking for a salad shop, that’s not crazy expensive…..Got here around noon, on a Friday. The line was busy- so the wait was a little long. The staff wasn’t so happy but I guess they were over it lol. I ordered a salad, was good.”
“I ordered late night UberEats from here because they had a BOGO Free promo on the pita sandwiches. Oh wow… I was too hungry to go to sleep which is why I got late night delivery (hungry but too tired to cook) - I couldn’t even finish one falafel sandwich! The servings are generous for the cheap price. I also got the potato patty. Both items were incredibly aromatic and flavorful (my cat even tried to steal a bite of this vegetarian dinner!), and now I can go to sleep happy and full. I’d absolutely order from here again!! (Quick edit: I forgot to mention the pita!!! It was sooo tasty)”
“Amazing amazing place!!! Just made a bar mitzvah for my son there. The owner is very nice and answers all questions immediately. The food is top notch and the place is beautiful!!! I would give it 10 stars if I could! Highly recommend this restaurant for any event!!”
“Had dinner here with a friend and really enjoyed the meal. Saag Panner and chicken Korma were especially terrific. We ordered on appetizer that wasn’t what we expected and the owner and the chef came over and explained the dish and suggested an alternative which they gladly swapped out. Service was terrific. Personal and attentive. Definitely recommended.”
“10/10 I love the pizza it’s very good and cooked well. I order from here all the time when I just don’t know what to make in my house and my whole family is satisfied with the delivery and I always remember to tip. I will keep ordering from La Casa Mia the best pizza ??”

“Got the lunch special with the boneless spare ribs, chicken with mixed vegetables and wonton soup all for 20$. The wontons were actually decent was very surprised. Everything is good.”
“We sailed from RYC for an overnight into sheepshead bay and were searching a good Mediterranean or Turkish restaurant. Had a few ideas as we walked down Emmons avenue. Saw Lokum and decided to check it out. Decor was modern and elegant, our waiter Fort, was knowledgeable & helpful and they had a fantastic3 piece jazz trio playing! We ordered the goddess salad to share with lentil falafel and plates to share, grilled octopus, zucchini pancakes, halloumi & avocado ganouj. Everything was so tasty & superb! We had luscious baklava for desert. We would haves lived to longer longer but had to catch the 9:15 launch back to our boat. We will definitely be back for another sublime meal next season!”
“Holy wow!! I stumbled upon this place by accident. I was at the kings plaza mall but wanted something that wasn't mall food. This was the shortest half block away! So close! But not only is the location close, it’s so very worth it!! I Had the smash burger, and let me tell you!!!! Every bite was juicingg! The flavor was all there. Forget shake shack and come by here! And the prices are very fair! Limited seating for now. But the more of jimmy’s (the super nice owner) business you support who knows what we’ll have in store. They also deliver, and have uber eats available ! Plus theres a location in the city as well!”

“Very good food and great service.I had the carpachio appetizer and a baby lettuce salad for dinner. Both items were very good. My friends had the pasta and they were pleased with their selections. I asked some other patrons about the wood fired pizza. They all agreed that the taste and texture of the pizza was excellent. If I return, I will try one of the specialty pizza dishes. The Tierra Misu dessert was some of the best my friends have tried. I understand that the wine selection is also very good.The views from the back picture windows are of the Brooklyn Bridge. An Especially attractive sight in the evening.”
“oh. my. god.Every single thing I ate from here was perfect. I probably could have eaten the whole restaurant! As someone who doesn’t always like mac and cheese or collard greens- the Mac and cheese and collard greens were AMAZING! Everything was cooked just right and had the perfect amount of seasoning. LOVE!”
“Absolutely great food and its presentation amazing. The views, ambience and live piano music wonderful! The service was impeccable. I am a true New Yorker and difficult to please - I am not a tourist - and this is definitely a 5 star must experience restaurant. Thank you The River Cafe for making our dinner truly special and memorable!”
“I went with my friends for Dinner. Our gorgeous , majestic, and vigilant server Kev. Made wonderful suggestions and made sure our dishes were to our liking. He also introduced us to the In-house Coconut Rum. Superb.”
“I love this restaurant, food is great atmosphere is awesome, staff are very welcoming! This was my third visit and was served by Charlene the only server I’ve experienced thus far but she is everything!!!!! Every time she over exceeds my expectations!”
“The staff member that served us (Stephanie)was friendly and lighthearted. Ordered several items which were all overall delicious. The jerk chicken salad was spicy but so beautifully arranged. Ambience was good.”
“I win here October 15 for my birthday. My granddaughters were there madman son, was doing even Magnússon in a wheelchair. He offered him something to drink, even though he couldn’t drink it, but it was nice that they thought about him they took our pictures for us. it was very fast with bringing out the food and I enjoyed. Definitely will come back”
“This was my first time here and Greg was the greatest. He was very attentive, professional and made sure we were good the entire time. He seemed to be the other one taking care of everyone. He also had someone shadowing him, so she will be great!”
“Drove 40 minutes to try this restaurant and let me tell you it was so worth it! Everything was delicious from the drinks to the food and most importantly the mango sticky rice! ( one of my favorite desserts). Definitely go check it out!”
“Love this place! The sushi is so fresh and tasty. And reasonably priced. Free green tea pudding with Yelp check in! The pudding is topped with a spoonful of sweetened red beans. A delicious dessert! My favorite is salmon and here, it's melt in your mouth fresh and yummy. My favorite dish here is the Salmon Lover. It's salmon four ways plus a side of kani salad with some roe on top. Thick generous portions of sashimi, also has sushi, salmon avocado roll, and a grilled salmon collar (when available, otherwise you get 2 pieces of salmon belly). This place is so good, in one week, I went 3 times and still not tired of it. Not crazy about the chicken kaarage. The pieces are too small so when fried, it becomes dry and loses its juicy tenderness. Tried some skewers. A tad on the dry side. I'd stick with the sushi. Though the skewers were very popular with the kids at the table. Service. Attentive. Tea constantly being refilled. Decor. It's a small place. Lots of wood decor. The space is narrow with seating to the left and right. In front, a few private mini booth rooms covered with a curtain, line the side of the restaurant. These can seat up to 4 people. There is also a small party room downstairs. In the back, you can sit in front of the sushi chefs if you like, at a high counter.”
“Вкусная еда, внимательный персонал. Чуток дорогой ресторан, но иногда можно))) игровая площадка для малышей большой плюс. Спасибо Алексу и Улугбеку за обслуживание сегодня)))”
“Went on a Tuesday morning at 7:55am before they opened and was second in line. Ordered a bunch of things to try everything. The highlight for me was the ham and cheese croissant which is more on the flaky, airy side and the Nutella and almond croissant but the raspberry croissant, pistachio, pain au chocolat and the tahini chocolate chip cookie were also memorable.”
“This is the best pizza I have ever had, nice crisp, light crust with just the right amount of toppings, no grease at all. I live in CT and thought no pizza was better than our New Haven ones, boy was I wrong!!! Looking forward to returning……soon!”
“I recently visited Juliana’s, and while the experience was not bad, it wasn't particularly memorable either. The place and the pizza itself didn’t stand out. I ordered the N1, and it was okay. There wasn’t anything that would make me want to come back again ( ave service, ingredients and flavors) There are better options in NYC (and actually cheaper). I don't understand the hype; perhaps it was my selection.”

“This place is an overall great time and great addition to the neighborhood! The staff were amazing with their service and knowledge about the region and menu, and the co-owner was making drinks at the bar! The cocktails and food are a must try!Drank: TI’ PunchAte: Salade Creole (loved), Camarons Coco-Vanille (loved especially the vanilla bean sauce)”
“The most delicious, freshly prepared lagman. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is very cozy. I advise everyone to have a delicious meal in this wonderful cozy corner.”
“Tonight, I ordered the fish maw chicken soup and the cold cucumber scallion salad. The latter was crunchy, refreshing, and satisfyingly well-balanced in its herby dressing with crushed peanuts. The soup was hot and rich, packed with silky fish maw, springy noodles, four kinds of mushrooms, lettuce, bouncy fried tofu, tofu skin, and tender poached chicken. Beautiful, fresh, comforting, delicious! The restaurant was basically spotless with cheerful vibes and prompt service. Other customers were either chatting happily or eating. 5 stars. I'm already planning my return to try the mala tripe soup.”
“The service was good as the food , also the waiter Muxammadsolih was so friendly and sweet? I’ll definitely come back again and offer everyone. Thank you ☺️”
“Update: Dinner was amazing too! I had their meatballs, minestrone soup, and their cheesecake, fantastic, Chef’s kiss, indeed.I usually have their pizza, with an iced chai or a cold brew. Their staff is so kind! Truly A+ it’s a new fave, highly recommend. Their parsnip soup is wonderful, and I’ve their salads too. all incredible!”
“Flavors that can only be melded together by a professionally trained chef, plating that is exquisite an amazing epicurean journey!The staff is knowledgeable, personable and professional.This is definitely a unique experience and a unicorn in the kosher culinary world.”
“I'd rate Formosa four and a half stars. Tawainese dumpling shop. We shared the signature pork dumplings and the chicken and cabbage. We had them pan seared and topped with their signature sauce and scallions. Nice sear on the dumplings. They were generously stuffed and held together well without being overly doughy. We also shared the fried mushrooms. These had a super crispy texture. If you're a fan of chicharrones, then you'll want to try these fried mushrooms. Service was quick and helpful. There was one gender neutral restroom. Atmosphere was casual.”
“If you feel like eating a burger when in Park Slope, this is da spot!! Stopped by for lunch today and I am totally happy about it! Ordered the Brooklyn burger and it was delicious! What a mushroom sauce!! Try, you won't regret it. Plus the service is exceptional too”
“I had a great wet sandwich (torta). The staff was the friendliest. The place just opened but it's already packed.I also grabbed some food to go and it was good, but less memorable. The fish in the taco was well cooked, but the tortilla itself was dry. The next was okay.”
“I have nothing but positive raving reviews! Mustafa and Islam are people’s people! They were very kind, open and just overall amazing. I will be continuing to bring my business here. The place is was spic and span, the kids love them, and most importantly the food was BOMB!I ordered the mango habanero wings w/ranch, seasoned fries & tenders w/ Garlic Parm sauce. Both sauces were GREAT! The wings were perfect and the fries —-my vice—- were to dieeeee for.”
“Loved the vibes and drinks here! A nice addition to the neighborhood. Friendly and quick service is appreciated. I didn't try the food but I wish they had more seafood options like a shrimp or salmon add-on option for the salads could be enough to diversify and appeal to all eating preferences. Either way, I still look forward to coming back and supporting this spot in PLG.”
“This is a great little Indian restaurant that just opened up on Fulton. The food is outstanding. The service is welcoming. Went here with the family recently. Please note Dawali is BYOB. Highly recommend and will be back!”
“If I could give this place higher than 5 stars I would. Hole in the wall with unbelievably good food. Cant go wrong here. The samosas were soooo good. Best mango lassi I've ever had too. And the service...amazing too!! Also very budget friendly! Will be back for sure”
“Good quality Halal food! Big chicken tenders, tasty burger and both high quality and delicious lamb in the lam gyro! Prices were fair too. Halal hot sauce was authentic and hot!”
“Freshly made warm pita and flatbread from the oven! Nice dough and crust. Dishes were generous but under seasoned. Generous shwarma pieces on flatbread were overcooked. Rice with almond slivers from ouzi lamb was very fragrant and tasty. Comfortable seating. Light and airy. Attentive service. ”
