Solid Mediterranean spot in Brooklyn with a cozy ambiance. I got the falafel platter ($15) which came with a side salad, hummus, and a pita. Everything was delicious. Pita was light and flaky. Falafel was flavorful and well balanced. Service was excellent. Overall I would come back. Good value for $15. 7.83 / 10

My favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. The food is delicious with great prices. Highly recommend

Food was amazing! Pistachio pizza unique must get. Great friendly server Mazen. Def recommend.

Best brunch ever!!! Alah and Mazen were the best! So attentive and kept the drinks flowing! Will definitely be back.

When you step into this restaurant you feel the warmth of the Mediterranean culture. The staff is always kind and knowledgeable. The food is amazing. Such rich flavors. Some of the best hummus you'll have!

I've lost count on the amount of times I've ate here, but it's never a miss. I ordered delivery numerous times (their Syrian Bread SLAPS) before I ultimately went in person. Knowing their flatbreads were delicious, I had to go for their breakfast pizza which was spectacular. It was a large portion for just me, but as they have so many delicious options, I recommend ordering family-style for the table. Their Syrian Bread (don't get it confused with their Za'atar bread!) is by far my favorite thing from this place and it's sadly no longer on the menu, but I dream of it often. It included olive oil, sesame seeds, onions and Syrian harissa. I long to have the recipe one day... Until then, I'll keep going back in hopes of its return! All in all, it's not your typical Mediterranean restaurant as it's wildly more authentic than what most Americans are used to. The Lebanese and Syrian influences are very forward, in the best way possible. Couldn't recommend this restaurant more.

Super cute place with an intimate, laidback atmosphere. I went as a group of 3 on a weeknight and there wasn't any wait. The waiter was friendly and relaxing so the overall experience was pleasant. We ordered the assorted mezze and then got the assorted combo of entrees with chicken schwarma, falafel, and kafta. Overall very solid - my favorite was the cauliflower mezze - but otherwise nothing really stole my attention and stood out.

I've been ordering delivery from here for years, kabob platters, shawarma pitas, kibbe, fattoush, hummus, labne, muhamara, cucumber yogurt. All delicious! This weekend I went in person for the first time for bottomless brunch. The interior is cozy and has some homey decor such as cute and colored antique chairs and couches around it. Their brunch deal is for ~$40 you get an entree and an hour and a half of bottomless mimosas, bloodies, or draft beer. They come around generously with pitchers to refill you. Service was very friendly as well. My one friend got the french toast and said it was delicious, it came with fruit, one spun sugar, butter, and cream. My other friend and I each got the breakfast pizza, one with mergues sausage one with out. A mozzarella and feta pizza with mushrooms, onions, and zaatar topped with poached eggs. Incredible. Definitely check it out for brunch, lunch, or dinner.

I got to try their breakfast pizza with meat added! Its definitely enough for two people but me being the hungry hungry hippo that I am, I ate it all by myself....its a personal pizza right? Also, its not everyday where I think the music playlist at a restaurant is fire. I was legit shazamming every song. I appreciate the middle eastern deep house. Lastly, the service was so nice. They kept checking up on me and making sure I was okay.
