Best delivery in the neighborhood . Really can't go wrong with anything here, but the chicken pitzaa with lentil soup is the go-to.
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
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 ).
Not so hidden gem - had some bad old reviews but got their groove back. Food was great and staff was so amazing!
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.)
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
Definitely the best Za'atar Bread in Brooklyn!
A lot of these reviews are for the old Black Iris. They relocated in 2022.
Medhat is the nicest waiter in Brooklyn! Love the lentil soup , assorted salad plate and the veggie pizza . It's also BYOB .
Good clean chicken kebab sandwiches , good lentil soup , and probably the nicest staff in all Fort Greene. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Tired, sloppy spot but cheaper than the hipper alternatives. They got half our orders wrong etc. Nice folks and OK food.
The best food amazing
I love this place!! Best hummus and pita I've ever had. Byob
Fills a worthwhile niche. Unfortunately, the quality isn't there. Wish they would up their game. I'd eat there all the time!
yummy, fresh, friendly and plenty of vegan options .
Amazing Mediterranean food ! Loved it
if you are in Ft. Greene you have to check it out. great food at very reasonable prices. owners are super nice...
BUOB. Friendly . Solid. A neighborhood most.
You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Perfect spot for BK celeb sightings, too. Read more
Falafal sandwich is tasty and big. Friendly service .

Good food, great value . Fast and close to my digs. Family loves the M.E. Food.
Solid falafel sandwich . Big for the price. Want to have a love affair w/ their hot sauce .
Awesome beet salad . So tasty and healthy!
the black iris pizza is the best. Nothing like I've ever had. Its big enough for one person or share it as an appetizer .
Not BYOB anymore :( got cold apps and homemade pita ???? was delish
combo plate of cold mezes $9.50
Falafel platter . - 5 stars!
The hummus and pita are amazing!! It's also BYO so take advantage.
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
Chicken Kabob & Lamb chops are tops!
Best lentil soup & falafels !
Get the kabob . Any one dish will do. It's fantastic. And try the zaater bread .
Chicken gyro ????
Simple and great food
No cash no problem. They're on Seamless ????
Black Iris is BYOB
Make sure to stop at the ATM first - CASH ONLY .
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
Probably the best value middle eastern food in brooklyn
Btw, the nicest folks on Dekalb.
Got the lamb sandwich , a bit disappointed, was smaller than usually
The blond waitress is the worst.
Best homemade pita !!
Whipped feta Mezze, lamb shawarma, and the chocolate volcano is so molten-y. Highly recommend - Scy DV
Perfect place for a casual, healthy-ish, weeknight dinner. Neighborhood-y spot. Go for the assorted 5 salads for a little bit of everything you want. - Emily Wilson
reasonably priced grilled chicken kabob platter with great flavors and a generous amount of yummy hummus. super pleased. - chris brown
Beautiful, hilly, with a few great climbing trees! Nice views too. - L. T.
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
