Kibbeh
Seelia Y.

It was our first time here and they were super busy. We stood inside to look at the menu and the owner is very friendly and let us know if we wanted to order, to go to the cashier. We ordered a large mixed platter, falafel and hummus combo and kibble to go. It was quite a long wait but they had a lot of orders and people were coming by to pick up their items. We got our food and went home. When we opened our mixed platter, we were a bit disappointed because there were no sauces. The sauces or condiments would have definitely tied the meal together. I'm not sure if we were supposed to order it on the side or tell the cashier staff that we wanted sauce, but it would have been nice for them to ask if we wanted any. The meat was a little dry but that might have been because we drove an hour home. Falafel was really good and the highlight of the order. The kibble was fine. Overall, I think we'd definitely give Al Aqsa another try if we're in the area and dine in instead.

Chicken Shawarma Laffa
Reema S.

Al-Aqsa is hands down an absolute staple in my diet. This small unassuming little Palestinian spot serves the juiciest, most delicious chicken shawarma you will get your hands on in Bay Ridge. The garlic sauce? Absolute perfection. Beautifully tangy, perfect texture, just the right amount of pungent. What's not to love? Everyone who works here is an absolute delight, you are always greeted with a small piece of falafel dumped in a little bit of hummus, and topped with sumac. I just know I'm gonna get a piece of falafel as I wait for my gorgeous shawarma to be wrapped. The place screams Palestinian pride, I'm not gonna lie. It's been a source of comfort coming here after every Friday prayer. Their hummus is creamy and dreamy. I always get mine topped with Shatta, which is a wonderful topping - appropriately spicy, and tangy. The portions are pretty generous, the hummus lasts me a couple of days. It's amazing as a side to kebab, or just on its own with warm toasted pita. This place is nothing short of a Palestinian institution on fifth Avenue, if you are in the neighborhood, please stop by here and sample some of their food. You will not be disappointed.

Menu board

Based on the reviews I've read about Al Aqsa Bakery & Restaurant, I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Falafel Pita sandwich and it tasted great. Fresh ingredients and the falafel was moist and tasty. The place is small with limited seating area. They were busy and it's worth the wait. One of the best falafel places in Brooklyn. I live in Maryland and nothing compares to New York. The employees are friendly and courteous. The place lookalike a hole in the wall, but don't let this fool you. I enclosed some photos to prove it. I've been in places with great atmosphere and the food and service could be disappointing.

Partial menu

Wow! This is a new-to-me favorite. They get busy in there so be prepared for a little wait. I've been twice now, and both times was very happy with the care put into the food. Their chicken gyro wrap is a great to-go grab. The chicken was flavorful and juicy. Their pickles are so good as well. I will be back. I'm trying to be on first name basis , ya dig?

Radio Bakery is a very popular bakery in Brooklyn. This has been my second time and each time there…read morewas a line outside, however it moves quickly and the space inside is very small. Even though there is a line, you do not feel rushed or pressured to order quickly. On this visit we ordered plain croissant, chocolate croissant-fresh out of the oven, rhubarb croissant, black forest pastry and brown butter corn cake. The chocolate croissant was amazing. It is triple chocolate and cocoa powder is in the dough. It is filled with milk and dark chocolate, so creamy. The plain croissant was flaky and light. The brown butter corn cake was crispy and caramelized on the outside and soft and moist. The Black Forest croissant is a seasonal offering. It is made with their Triple Chocolate Croissant filled with chocolate cake and sour cherries and topped with mascarpone cream , Rhubarb & Custard Croissant . It is tart and sweet. The rhubarb is roasted and complimented with sweet vanilla custard. They all were excellent. Each were about $8. Highly recommend and don't let the line deter you .

I came during a weekday at like 11 and there was still a line but it is what it is. Because it's so…read morebusy I feel a bit rushed when I go here. It's also difficult to see all the items since everyone is packed in a line even when you get into the store. The food itself: - cardamom bun was yummy, a bit too cardamom forward though. 3.5/5 - the pb and J croissant was cool, a bit too rich for my liking but I admire how different it was and I actually had to save this one for the next day and it was still good so 4/5
