Kebabs are a bit too chewy, but hummus and falafel are easy to gum. Spin one of the star shaped hanging lights for a captivating show.

Wayne Bennett

The leg of lamb sandwich here with mint mayo is simply one of the best sandwiches created in New York City . You will go home dreaming about it. Go at lunch for the freshest cut.

janelle gunther

for lunch : get the falafel sandwich to-go. rolled neatly and narrow for mess-free consumption. the sliced gherkins set it apart . you're out the door for under $5 & in under 5 minutes.

Luke

The falafel is some of the best you’ll find in this hemisphere, but stick to that

Wayne Bennett

The leg of lamb sandwich with mint mayo is like no other sandwich in the world. Have with lentil soup and Turkish coffee .

Janie S

By far the best restaurant of all time. Great prices, great food, and lots of fresh, healthy options . Plus I like the no-frills vibe (and the backyard garden is adorable!)

Stacy Bo Bacy

The chicken with the garlic sauce is what really shines here. Cash only .

Robin Fuller

Garlic bread pita , grape leaves , and Turkish coffee are to die for! Check out the bathroom - mirrored on every side. It's enough to give you an acid flashback!

Wayne Bennett

Good basic cheap , Middle Eastern fare. Love their lentil soup and cucumber and yogurt with steaming bread . Yum!

Stephanie M

Falafel is awesome - crunchy outside, fluffy inside, not dried up like so many other takeout places.

Joanna Flamm

This is a weird thing to be excited about, but the lentil soup here is incredibly good.

chris brown

reasonably priced grilled chicken kabob platter with great flavors and a generous amount of yummy hummus . super pleased.

Staff Pick! Lidy (Development): Hummus is generously doled out & comes with a hot puffed-up pita , straight from the oven. Turkish salad is like salsa on steroids. Lovely garden & family friendly .

Lina Nguyen

No longer BYOB but a glass of wine is only 6 bucks. Get 5 of those and share a combo platter!

BrooklynMuseum

Staff Pick! Caroline (Design): Reasonably priced, quite tasty with plenty of veggie options . Their lentil soup can’t be beat and their pitas are always super fresh. It's BYOB . Nice decor, too!

If you sit in the garden , BYOB . Bring Your Own Bug-spray. The mosquitoes are hungry too! =)

Howard Shih

The grape leaves are really yummy here!

Wendy Qiu

Tasting platter of 5 dips .. Red pepper one is the best

Koven Smith

Love this place. Everything's reasonably priced, and super-tasty. Nice garden seating in warm weather. Oh yeah--they're cash-only, so be sure to have a few dimes on hand.

Tommi Hurme

Falafel plate and lentil soup were both great choices

Pirtzas are great for carbo loading for long marathon training runs. Not too much cheese , a little protein....just right.

Fred D

Really great Mediterranean food :-)

Antonio Luna

Get the chicken shwarma plate!

Lebabb

The pita and hummus are amazing! Wonderful place. Get chicken platter ir schwarma !!

Philip M

Agreed with the other tip re mosquitoes. The garden is nice but thanks to having lush community garden right next to it the mosquitoes are more than elsewhere. They'll light bug candle if smell is ok.

rabi

Lentil soup is the way to go.

Tim Campbell

GO 'ROUND BACK! For a lovely garden setting.
