I really wanted to like this place, but the food was a huge letdown for the price. I ordered the leg lamb plate ($20) and the portion was small. The lamb came out looking dark/black and red in parts, and some pieces were so tough I couldn’t even bite through them. Other pieces didn’t feel fully cooked. Overall it was dry and poorly prepared.
The rice had basically no salt or seasoning, and it tasted plain. The salad was just some lettuce, tomato, and olives thrown on the plate, and even the olive still had the seeds like it wasn’t prepped properly.
Even the mint tea tasted stale/leftover (like بايت—old and just reheated), and that was the same feeling I got from the whole meal.
One more thing: while I was in the bathroom, someone tried to open/broke the door on me which they did since there is only one bathroom and I had an emergency. And when I came out the food was just sitting there getting cold/drying out.

Service was really nice and helpful, all the staff were super nice! But as an arab im telling you the food is not good; the meat was barely boiled? I dont even know i bet they boiled it (i got leg lamb plate= 20$) for the price i expect something better or more presentable at least, it both looked bad and sadly tasted 2/10 at best... atmosphere was cute and cozy very arab core but i cant get over the food like i bit into a part of the meat and almost threw it up into my tissue NO EXAGGERATION i promise...but loved the atmospehere and service! Thanks!

No longer cash-only! Try the Loomi. It’s incredible.

This place is so good especially for the price. I love all the pitzas and the lentil soup.

enjoyed a meal there recently with a friend who was performing at BAM. The food was good and the staff was wonderful. My only issue is everything was under salted. Otherwise, the place was great.

Awesome, cozy restaurant. Clean overall and the food was to-die-for. Whole staff was friendly and I couldnt have been more satisfied with a dinner in Brooklyn. We will be returning (and bringing my mom, its that good)

Disappointing. Hummus was very bland and watery. You could only taste garlic. Needs more tahini, lemon, salt, cumin, oil. Babaganouj weirdly sweet. Falafels not crispy just soaked full of oil.
Wouldn't recommend to anyone who loves authentic Arabic food.

This spot in on the border of Boerum Hill and Downtown Brooklyn provides an essential local feel with great food. We shared the assorted salad combination and the lamb plate which was perfect in amount and flavor. The baba ghanoush was killer and the lamb was so tender. We will be coming back here often.
Everything was good except I ordered my food from their on-line menu and when I went to restaurant and ordered my food to go they charged me different prices for the items I ordered. When I got home I double checked to see if I was wrong but the prices on the on-line their menu were different than what they charged me. When I went back to the restaurant for an explanation they said the prices on-line were outdated. Come on. I said well maybe you should do something about that and they said they were working on that. Unacceptable IMO.

This is a fantastic neighbourhood spot. Falafel is solid, baba ghanoush & hummus are also very good, as is the citrus / lime loomi drink. Prices are reasonable, and they have a cosy garden space.
