Amazing cafe. The food is stellar and it is located conveniently next to the train. We have lunch from this place every time we’re in Brooklyn. We order the cauliflower shawarma hummus bowl every time (vegan). It’s a perfect lunch portion, delicious and flavorful. Comes with cauliflower, cabbage, pickles, hummus, and warm, delicious bread. It’s a 10/10. Last visit we also tried the crispy cauliflower hummus bowl. It is also delicious! The cauliflower is deep fried and is tossed in a yummy sweet glaze. It’s spectacular but because it’s a bit more indulgent we wouldn’t get for lunch every time but is a must have if you like crispy, sweet fried cauliflower. We also tried the falafel (not vegan, has feta cheese) and it was good too.
It’s pricey for a bowl (around $40 for 2 bowls) for sure but we enjoy the food every time, it’s consistent, and high quality. We will go back again and again for our usual cauliflower shawarma bowl.

Delicious BEC, the pita is a good touch. Coffee also really good. Only downside is the croissants/baked goods weren’t fresh so I ended up abandoning the croissant after one bite. Everything else very good though

Their sweet potato hummus has redefined my hummus expectations. The warm, earthy sweetness of the sweet potato is perfectly balanced with the classic hummus notes, resulting in a dip that's both comforting and exciting. I can't get enough!

Watched the customer behind me add 2$ tip to my bill as I stepped away from the register and the cashier was complacent. Nice work team! It was only when I went back up the cashier made an excuse for the customer and said “yea, he was on a rush.” Gross
A little gem right outside the subway station! The coffee was fantastic, and the pita breakfast sandwiches were amazing with just the right portions, The staff is very friendly and attentive. The background music set a relaxing vibe that truly added to the experience.

Portions have become very small. Just ordered the chicken shwarma ($16) and salmon ($27). There was no labneh on the salmon, as we've had in previous orders and is shown in photos. The chicken had minimal hummus and chicken, extremely small portion.
Skimpflation is alive and well at Nili. Very disappointing, as Miss Ada is great, but clearly this location is capitalizing on $$, not customers.

As I walked in and was standing at the counter, the people behind the bar were chatting (3 of them) and instead of pausing the conversation and taking care of the customer, they looked at me and continued their conversation. So I decided to leave without saying anything because I was in a rush. The lady behind the counter shouted “byeee” followed by laughing. Wasn’t under the impression that your cafe was a catty cafe where teenagers worked. These were grown adults, I just wanted a pick me up before I picked up my child from school. Looks popular in the morning, shame people are so nasty
