I will come back only because of how amazing Xiomara was as a hostess. She knew the menu. She recommended the best things. She made us feel at home in a new place I’ve never visited. I will come back so many times thanks to her.

Yes. This place is amazing. Super cute location and vibe and delicious food. My cousin and I ordered the fried cauliflower (they actually fry the cauliflower without batter - which was delicious), the babaganoush (amazing!), and their Hanger Steak with roasted brussell sprouts. Everything we had was so good. But the standout for me was the Hanger Steak and the Cauliflower. The steak was perfectly cooked and all the flavors and textures were there. The service was also top notch. They were so attentive and on top of things the "sipping" soup once you sit down was also a nice touch. Also, and most importantly, do not miss the kunefe/knuafeh. I've travelled to Turkey, Egypt, and Greece so I've had a lot of this dessert in my time and I can say that their take on the dessert is so unique. I loved it! It's lighter than others I've had but just as delicious. I can't wait to come back!

Food Ambiance Service First time here, definitely coming back. Food was amazing. We had the babaganous, beef kabob ms, cast iron chicken and flank steak. So much flavor packed into every bite. Our server, Brian, was like our own concierge making sure we had a fantastic meal and great experience. The patio was awesome, loved the lights and the music. Five stars.

Bowery is a perfect dinner spot. It has delicious Mediterranean flavors with a twist. When I came, we enjoyed the tabbouleh, beef tongue gnocchi, and kanefeh, to name a few. The beef tongue was actually so delicious and tender. Game-changing and unique dish! And I'm always a fan of kanefeh and thought theirs was very well done. The patio was also super vibey!! Can't wait to return.

The photo is the only fish we had that we didn't vibe with. Was just not very flavorful. The corn itself was bland, so if you didn't take a bite with the beautiful display of sauce/cheese, it just wasn't good. OTHERWISE, the Hummus bi Tahini was amazing. I LOVED the chickpeas. They were so crispy, and the gravy was amazing. The beef melted the moment your fork touched it. The rice pudding was also very delicious and not too heavy! Service was great. Atmosphere is so peaceful. Definitely plan on going again to try the lamb!

We tried BB for my partner's birthday dinner and came away thrilled. Among the veggie openers, which are larger than tapas, I recommend the babaganoush with shishito peppers, spicy potato with harissa (hot!), and roast beets with pistachio. For our main we had the cast iron chicken, subtly spiced and perfectly cooked. The cardamom rice pudding is a refreshing dessert, and chocolate lovers must try the pot de creme. Wine & beer selections perfectly complement the menu's complex flavors.Kid-friendliness: It's a romantically dark, cozy space with unusual dishes... not recommended for young children

**HIGHLY RECOMMEND**- Food - Absolutely delicious! All the plates were sparking clean post meal. I'm serious, everything was fabulous. Fattoush - not your standard Fattoush and believe me, I've lived in the Middle East for several years. It was light, freaking, had a nice crunch, not soggy and it was a delight. Beef kebab - the meat was so tender and juicy! Baba ghanoush - creamy, delectable goodness with shishito peppers. It was one of the best baba ghanoushes I've had in a long long time. Konafah - not too sweet, just right and did not feel heavy as Konafahs typically do. - Ambiance - Cute! There is a small outdoor, garden area with heaters as well. - Parking - We found parking on the side streets.

Went on a Tuesday early evening. A nice little bungalow. The inside had a cool bar, but I'd recommend the outside as it was nicely lit and a bit eclectic. First time ever trying beef tongue and it was superb. Can't go wrong with ordering that dish. Service was quick and attentive.

This place is a converted bungalow-turned-restaurant and has quite the vibe. Great place for dinner with friends in the dining room or out on the patio, or a meet up for drinks at the bar. The tahini toast is a must get! The crispiness of the sourdough in combination with the mild sweetness of the dates and the refreshing bites of cucumber make this dish outstanding!
