Best delivery in the neighborhood . Really can't go wrong with anything here, but the chicken pitzaa with lentil soup is the go-to.

Zach Aarons

Delicious and clean tasting chicken #kebab sandwich and soup . Some of the nicest and warmest people in the neighborhood . A great lunch option and also BYO for dinner . (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Scott Hueston

BYOB ! The whole menu is fantastic, but try the ZATAAR BREAD (pita topped with olive oil , sesame , thyme ) and GREEN PITZAA (leeks , scallions , fenugreek, with olive oil and light mozzarella ).

Holland Martini

Not so hidden gem - had some bad old reviews but got their groove back. Food was great and staff was so amazing!

Ian Spalter

Lentil soup here is usually very tasty - especially if you add a little hot sauce and fresh lemon . Inexpensive yummyness. (*not always consistent in flavor.. but 8/10 times it has hit the spot.)

Evan Anderson

Quite affordable Levantine fare. And it's BYOB ! Great for group dinners or take out .

Taste - The lambajin - piled atop the thin crust were lamb , onion , parsley , spices, and tomatoes . Its overwhelming sensation was meatiness and unadulterated savory protein. Read more

Keith Lea

Definitely the best Za'atar Bread in Brooklyn!

Nate S

A lot of these reviews are for the old Black Iris. They relocated in 2022.

Youngna Park

Medhat is the nicest waiter in Brooklyn! Love the lentil soup , assorted salad plate and the veggie pizza . It's also BYOB .

Zach Aarons

Fills a worthwhile niche. Unfortunately, the quality isn't there. Wish they would up their game. I'd eat there all the time!

Falafel is riding that line between pretty much fine and that was kinda gross.

Chicken kabab sandwich and lentil soup are tasty!

Just such a lovely place with great people.

Try the Lentil Soup ! It's cheap and amazing!

Yuck. I was so disappointed. It was bland and the service was just ok. It basically a takeout joint with tables. Nothing special

Yuck. Average mediocre food. Went on a Friday night at 8 and it was half empty. That should have been my first clue. Could also be cause it's cash only

Hopefully you have Tara as a bartender then it's a great night guaranteed. Creative, refreshing drinks, and seats turnover quicker than expected. Solid place for a date or small group together. - Jess Naldo
