The ambiance on the back patio was relaxing and the service was good. We loved the cheese and parsley roll- it was absolutely divine. All of the appetizers were great but I could have ate an entire plate of the beets. Would recommend! read more

Came here faded and got a chicken pizza. The interior was very cool, there was a lot to look at while I waited for the pizza. Service was kind and quick. The pizza itself was delectable ‍, all the flavors paired perfectly with one another. I would recommend and I will be back. read more

Came here on a Saturday during lunch time and was seated promptly. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, however outdoor seating wasn't available yet. The indoor seating has 7-8 tables. Service was homey and attentive. Started with a Fresh Mint Tea, very refreshing. For appetizers we ordered the Labana and the Beet Salad. Both were very good and a large portion. For entrees we ordered the Chicken Platter w/ Hummus and the Lamb Platter w/ Basmati Rice. Both dishes were very flavorful, and again large portion. read more

I ordered delivery from this outpost of Badawi in Park Slope the other night. I absolutely love Mediterranean vegetarian sides, and when I saw the option to get a combo plate, I was very excited. The flavors on a lot of the components were absolutely amazing although I do think overall salt was a little bit lacking in some. The hummus was nice and a good texture, but could be a little thicker and creamier, I found it a little bit to be on the runnier side. The chickpea and spinach salad was my absolute favorite and the crispy onions on top really added an amazing, sweet and crunchy umami layer. I really think it needed a little bit more salt, but otherwise the flavors were absolutely 10 out of 10. I really also enjoyed the beet salad, it was bright and tasted good. A little little bit more olive oil on the beet salad would be really great. I absolutely loved how fresh tasting it was and the seasoning was on point. The bedawi salad needed a little bit of olive oil I think or some sort of light dressing. The feta cheese on the salad was not salty enough like how fresh feta usually is. I didn't think much of the pickled eggplant, it was my first time having this dish and I didn't like the texture of the eggplant. I thought it was a little tough on the outside and there was not enough filling on the inside. It tasted like it was straight out of a jar and not homemade. I think with some slight improvements the food at this establishment is really good. I can't wait to try their chicken Shawarma sandwich down the line. If you are in the neighborhood, definitely order from here. read more

Dined in for lunch recently and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. We shared the 5 cold appetizers option, the beet salad babaganoush and chickpea spinach salad were stand outs for me. I tried the falafel sandwich and lentil soup and they were sooooooo good! The table shared the leek pizza and it was a hit. Very kind service, we loved it! read more

I just had the best beet salad of my life. 10/10 would eat the beet salad again and again and again and again ad infinum. The other food is great too. And the service and interior. read more

The food was WONDERFUL. Like we were so surprised based on the price point! It was like luxury food, nice ambiance, very sweet servers. Would definitely recommend. We got one pizza and one platter - the pizza crust was delectable, the meat on the platter was succulent AF read more

For my birthday I wanted to try somewhere I had not been but that had been on my to try list and Bedawi fit the bill! Having fallen in love with Arabic food in Jerusalem many years ago, I am picky about where I eat it. Bedwai did not disappoint! We ordered a Merguez (ground lamb) Platter and a Chicken Platter. Both the lamb and the chicken were perfectly grilled and flavorfully seasoned. The accompanying baba ghanouj was exceptional and the warm, freshly baked Jordanian style pita bread sealed the deal! The cafe is small and nicely decorated giving patrons, along with the arabic music being played, a sense of being in the middle east. Portions are generous and prices very fair. Highly recommend but get there at an off hour because they fill up quickly! read more

After checking out reviews online, I decided to try Bedawi Cafe. The food was decent for the price but the salads lacked flavor. I even added my own Sumac and lemon. The Tabouli salad was three stars. The baba ganoush eggplant dip wasn't bad but had a slightly bitter aftertaste. I also tried one of the pita sandwiches. I was actually surprised by the lack of flavor, especially after reading so many glowing reviews. When I looked more closely at the reviews, I noticed some similar opinions about the blandness of the food. I guess if you prefer bland or non spicy food, this might be a good choice. I love Middle Eastern cuisine - I've eaten lots of it over the years - I enjoy the tahini, garlic, lemon, parsley, sumac etc. There were no side sauces included with the sandwich either. That might have helped out with the flavor issue - another restaurant I frequent always includes a small cup of hot sauce on the side. read more

How have I not reviewed this place all this time. Been coming here for over a decade with my then bf/now husband. This place has always been our favorite casual date spot with the wonderful backyard setting. The food is amazing and always so reasonably priced. I almost always get their mix mezze platter, which are fresh and flavorful. The sundried pizza is something you can't miss. For more heavy dishes the merguez platter is authentic and incredible. The staff here are ever so friendly and attentive. It was fun chatting with them through the pandemic and I'm so glad that the business has survived and resumed in person dining! read more

A few friends and I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon after seeing good reviews on Yelp. The restaurant was empty except for one couple. The outdoor seating in the back was very cozy and picturesque. We ordered the Spinach Calzone, Lamb Pizza, mixed medley, and the assorted salad with hummus, makdous, baba ghanouj, stuffed grape leaves and labana. The cold salad was refreshing but not very impressive. The spinach calzone was interesting but didn't have much taste. The best thing we ordered was the lamb pizza. It was extremely flavorful and satisfying. The worst thing was the mixed medley with chicken and lamb. The texture of the meat was dry and grainy. I would not recommend it. Overall, it was an interesting experience but won't be returning. read more

Update: I ate at the place finally, in the really nice charming backyard. Still good.

Amazing food and great vibes! Had such a fantastic experience at this Middle Eastern spot. The appetizers were fresh and full of flavor, and both the leg of lamb plate and shrimp pizza were absolutely delicious. The lamb was tender and perfectly seasoned, and the shrimp pizza was a unique standout with a crispy crust and bold flavors. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. Can't wait to go back! read more

We moved to Windsor Terrace last year and have been striking out with takeout which is partly why we never order it. But last night we decided to try Bedawi for the first time and I was THRILLED with the food. Every single thing was delicious. The labneh was perfectly tangy, the beet salad so yummy and vinegary. The pita was wonderful. The pitza fantastic (tomato and cheese and garlic bread). Bedawi salad, Spinach chickpeas. Can't wait to visit the restaurant. Chef's kiss! read more

Decently priced and delicious, with a few points that take this down a notch. Came here after a failed smorgasboard attempt in prospect park, just remember that event is almost always going to be too expensive and unimpressive. Decided on this spot since it was highly rated. Ordered the 5 mezze appetizer option, spinach pie, lamb pizza and mixed medley. Spinach pie is different from what I'm used to at Greek restaurants but still good nonetheless, it came almost calzone-like with fresh spinach baked inside, tasted fresh and well made. The 5 Mezze option was great and is an awesome way to start off a large group with a restaurant's offering, loved all the items, everything I sampled was above average. Lamb pizza was phenomenal, the lamb bit that they had was spicy and done well, paired extremely well with the cheese, peppers and other toppings. Would have been a 5 star if not for a couple of things. The lamb in the mixed medley was extremely dry, and had a crumbly dust like texture to it, did not enjoy it at all, immediately regretted ordering the item. The other issue was the restaurant was pretty much staffed by one server/waiter/cashier. Came on the weekend and the person seemed pretty disgruntled and inattentive, not the biggest issue but definitely made the vibe a little weird. Overall a great place for great tasting food at a great price read more

Tried this spot last night. And I can't stop thinking about how good the food was. The hummus, divine. The pita, and the definition of fresh. I'm not sure I took a breath once I started eating cause I inhaled it all. for sure will be back and will recommend to everyone! read more

Is a nice place with a back yard in Park slope, with reasonable prices. But the food varies from ok (the salads) to poor (dry falafels) down to horrible (stuffed vine leaves?!). I get it would be unfair to compare to more expensive places like al badawi or miss ada. But this doesn't even compare to takeout like taboonette or nish nush read more

Absolute best around. Always highest quality food in every aspect, and run by good, neighborhood caring people.

This is one of our all time favorite places. We have been ordering from them for years. The food is delicious and always of high quality, just like the service. We LOVE Bedawi. read more

Fantastic restaurant that is incredibly underrated. Nice range of options & their lahmbajin pizza is one of the single greatest dishes I've ever had. For that alone gives it 5 stars! read more

Really tasty lunch special for ~$9! I got the chicken platter with baba ganoush. Very flavorful chicken and a good portion size as well. The baba ganoush was delicious! I'd definitely recommend it, although I'm sure the hummus is also good. Pita was freshly baked and warm, and the salad was fresh, too, with a good assortment of veggies included. A great neighborhood lunch joint for takeout during these covid times. Would love to try something else from here in the future! read more

Bedawi Cafe - Chicken lunch platter with baba ganoush, $9.25! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Great spot in Windsor Terrace. Prices are reasonable and the staff is very nice. Had the babaganoush, chicken platter and Merguez platter. Everything was so delicious and fresh. The people that work here are also nice and accommodating. The seasoning of the chicken was very memorable as there were so many great spices that were marinated in the chicken. The rice and salad that comes with each platter is tasty. If you do not want rice, you have the option of ordering a side of the hummus or babaganoush. The place is small, and I noticed that the delivery guy kept coming in and out with orders. So if you're in the neighborhood, this is a really good take out place. Eating in is even good, too. Would definitely come back. read more

I wouldn't order from here again. - super small portions - food had no taste, missing salt in everything Everything was very mediocre. The appetizer sampler (5) was a huge waste of $. The marinara and cheese pizza was very chewy. Chicken lunch platter with salad and hummus - mediocre. Parsley cheese phyllo roll - mediocre. Nothing was memorable... read more

Fresh and Healthy Menu. Personable Service Charming Atmosphere I always enjoy the experience! read more

Love this place. Highly recommend the lamb sandwich, the spinach and cheese pie, and the pita and hummus.

A hidden gem! This is our favorite restaurant in the Windsor Terrace...really, in the whole Park Slope area. The food is consistently high quality and tasty! My go-to's include creamy hummus, delicious spinach & chickpeas, and tabouleh, but we've ordered just about all the hot & cold appetizers and never are disappointed. The chicken pizza is fantastic--just like I had in Turkey, as are the falafel and mergeuz platters! The service is always excellent and the folks working there are simply lovely. Ambience in the cafe and during the warmer months, in the garden, is inviting with interesting decorations representing middle eastern sites and culture. This is a real gem and our go-to for lunch and dinner with family and friends! read more

I alway order takeout from Bedawi when I want Middle Eastern food. Tonight the ground lamb/spicey pizza was its usual delish. The 2 appetizer hummus and garden salad appetizer? Not so much. They both could use the zing of some lemon juice. Hummus could also use garlic. And you could have fooled me if there was dressing on the salad. The kicker was the packaging: Garden salad on top of hummus in one container! Come on, Bedawi. Splurge on one container for each appetizer or one that separates the items from each other! read more

Apps are a firm yes. Outdoor Garden in the back was nice when we ate there in the fall. Their hummus is very good. Reminds me of the hummus I had in the Middle East. read more

Rejects service animals even with paper work. Very discriminatory even though I offered to show them his certification and the nyc law that states he should be allowed to read more

Nothing was great that we ordered. Falafel was dry as the lamb platter my husband had. I was here a few years ago n the chicken pizza was delicious but tonite it was so off.Grape leaves were good n beet salad ok but nothing was special. Maybe it was an off night or maybe im spoiled by all the great places in Bay Ridge. Also they don't even give you lemon n twice I asked for it in my to go order. read more

Excellent food, service, and ambiance. Highly recommend for great labne, falafel, and baklava.

Stopped by here to get some items for a picnic in the park. Tried the bedawi pizza and the leg of lamb platter. The pizza was decent would have been better if we ate it hot. Good amount of veggie toppings and cheese. The lamb platter was great, really yummy lamb that was tender and juicy and we opted for the baba ganoush as a side which was super creamy and tasty and a great complement with the lamb. The side salad was forgetful and nothing special. It came with a pita which was nice and fluffy. We were totally stuffed and the price was very reasonable. read more

Bedawi Cafe - Bedawi Pizza and Leg of Lamb Platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ahhhh...breathe in the fresh aroma of meaty goodness. What can what say? Only great things about this place. From the vinegary beets to the lemon juice filled dolmadas (rice stuffed grape leaves), I would say there are vegetarian options worth trying. I loved the herbs and spices used on my pizzas. I went with my two friends to battle Settlers of Cattan in their backyard and of course decided to eat first, but where? We chose Bedawi. First, there was an al fresco option. Second, did someone say pizza? Oh yes. We ordered the chicken and lamb pizza which were sooooo decadently good. Could describe how were they good? There was this addictive like quality to it. Maybe it's the level of fattiness in the meat selected and right amount of olive oil? Or just the right amount of natural light in the backyard and the fresh smell of autumn making its way over to our olfactory bulbs on this fine summery day? I am trying to put it into words but probably failing, but I will never give up yelping. Ever. Yes, to describe the pizzas as merely delicious is quite understating. One could tell that the pizzas were generously covered in so much topping that I could only less than half of it. And I was there for 4.5 hours. I eat slow. I know. Well, I need time to talk and then chew and then eat again. Keep that in mind if you get a garlic bread for it will come in pizza size. Lol. I found out the hard way, but I had dinner that night. Thank goodness for leftovers. I will upload some photographs so you can relive my temporary moment in pizza heaven which I visit quite often and it's always a fun time. What was super puzzling was how empty this place was. This is a super find! I will definitely revisit with another board game of course. Take that PokeGo! It was 1 pm on a Friday and not a soul except maybe a few people. There were so much better and more affordable things on the menu. I was severely disappointed at my pizza coma that I just nearly suffered. read more

I'm SO glad I stumbled on this restaurant!! Super quaint and intimate. The back patio has small mechanical waterfalls that really add to the vibe. Waitstaff was small, but attentive! Food was good, prices were fair. All in all, would definitely go back! read more

This is a fine restaurant with a nice garden in the back. I am not familiar with other restaurants around 15 street that also have this so its nice. In the garden here they light incense and have a lot of greenery. Occasionally you can see a cat walk across the fencing and you have a nice awning over you in case there is rain. It is quite relaxing though in the summer it can be hot during heat waves. Inside things are much more cramped compared to the garden though its still nice. You can see paintings and wall hanging of nice middle eastern fair. It is super dark though and I am not quite sure why that is. Food wise they have a bunch of entrees and middle eastern pizzas. The pizza here is pretty good though expensive. It took the staff here quite a while to make but the crust was so soft and the ingredients were so tasty I wasn't too upset about it. The staff here were very smiley and nice here as well so that helped. Overall Bedawi Cafe is a nice place to eat at. I would definitely come again if I want middle eastern food in a nice clean restaurant. read more

Let's start with the positive: The ambience is cute. Now let's move on... The first thing we noticed was a sticky table which the waiter informed us was just cleaned before we walked in. We ordered the 5 appetizer sampler with Hummus, the Bedawi salad, beet salad, potatoes and lentils. Well, things looked okay, and tasted like absolutely nothing. We never had a more boring and tasteless hummus. Ever. The various salads tastes like they chopped things up, marinated (maybe) but then washed everything off with water for an hour to make sure that absolutely no taste particle was left. The only thing which kinda-sorta tastes like anything were the beets. But only the very middle portion of every beet. Moving on to our thankfully last (forever) meal at the Bedawi cafe, we ordered the chicken sandwich. Better than the appetizers, but barely. We are trying to think of good things to say about it... The wrap inside aluminum foil was professionally done! The worst part of the whole thing is.....wait for it, drum roll....our clothes, our hair, everything stinks like the inside of this terrible place. read more

I LOVE this place! Food is amazing. Staff is very kind and warm. You literally can't go wrong with anything on the menu. One of my go to spots for sure. And covid has not changed the quality or quantity of the food. read more

Ordered from here twice. I hope this is just a miss... twice. Very nice staff, cute place, totally a place I want to support. But the food was flavorless. Hummus was bland. Lamb was dry. Chicken was meh. House salad was ice berg lettuce with a few things in it. Cucumber salad was just cucumbers and tomatoes. Baba was ok but bland. Beets are canned it seems (maybe that's not a big deal??). And pickled egg plant was just salty vinegar. I don't want to be a jerk but twice now it's just been meh. It must just be bad luck for me? It gets great reviews and by all appearances everything looks wonderful, but no flavor. I'll try again, and will happily amend this review but for now, I can't say it's very good. read more

Awesome awesome awesome food, I love their falafel, and especially the shawarma pizza is sooo good. I will be coming to this place soon!

Jordanian brothers Aladdin and Yusuf served me up a delicious ground lamb pizza and a combination of beet salad and babaganoush to go at 9:45 p.m. on a Tuesday. Wow. Delicious. And such nice guys! Glad I remembered this place. I don't often order take out but feel lucky to have this traditional family food just blocks away. Great value for the money, too! read more
