Gorgeous restaurant, but unfortunately the food is just ok. There's a ton of Mediterranean…read morerestaurants in the area that I would rather go to. I feel like the prices here are too expensive to justify the quality. My favorite thing was the babaganoush. Also, the service is not great. It feels like the staff haven't been trained properly. There were times that our waitress seemed lost and didn't know what she was doing. We had to ask other wait staff questions to get proper answers. Also, don't advertise a special menu on Opentable and give people the option to reserve the menu when you aren't offering it. Came here for latkes and caviar for NYE since it said it was on the menu when I reserved on Opentable. Got there and was told they only served it during Hannuka Hanukkah. Checked their IG and they were still posting they were serving it. Total let down.

The table-side hummus was very standard hummus, and the table-side experience didn't add much. The baba ganoush was pretty good, however. I didn't love the pomegranate seeds, but they kind of just got in the way and made it harder to eat. The prawn risotto was decent, but again, nothing really blew me away. The service was great, and the ambiance inside was great as well, but due to the food just lacking much personality, I will not be returning.

The space is intimate and inviting, with warm décor that makes you want to linger. There are both indoor and outdoor seating options, plus a charming open-air courtyard in the back that adds to the atmosphere.

If I'm ever back in town, I'll definitely be returning. A lovely little gem that I'd happily recommend!

I went back for a weekday lunch recently and the food and atmosphere both hold up fabulously, so it makes sense why they've remained a brunch mainstay at both their East Village and Williamsburg locations. I enjoy that they serve their hot moroccan tea in a glass as is traditional, so you can see all the fresh mint leaves in your cup. I had tea like this multiple times a day during my trip to Morocco a few years back so sipping on this here took me back in time. I ordered a short stack of their blueberry pancakes which were very fluffy and delicious. They're not the kind of pancake with crispy edges, which are my preferred kind of pancake but I still found them satisfying. The moroccan eggs, which are two poached eggs in spicy stewed tomatoes and served with zahar pita is a delight. The pita is very fluffy and the zahatar adds such a nice fragrant spice to the bread. They used to serve this with potatoes but now those come at an additional charge but are well worth getting. The Williamsburg location also has pretty good wifi and they let me work on my laptop through my brief stay there. Kitchen was speedy too.

The consistency of the sandwiches has stayed the same in all the years I've been getting them. That goes for the chicken gyro too. The sandwiches are jammed with fresh ingredients and drizzled with their home sauce. Either option, and you're good! Make sure to get the fries. Their fries are addicting. Perfectly skinny and salted. Better than Mcdonald's, and we all know those are crack fries, so are these! Remember to get a sauce or get them all. Their sauces are all great. The only bad thing is they need to do a better job hiring people to take the phone orders. The lack of attention and care is why people have items missing from orders hence negative reviews. After the first couple of times that I noticed the pattern, I stopped calling and will instead go inside to order. The place is small, and even though you rarely see many people inside, they are swamped with to-go orders. So do yourself a favor and go in and order too. The wait is short.

The Resek hummus was so good I could not leave a single bite behind and had to ask for more pita just to make sure I ate every single bite. Also the potatos and the artichoke were impressive and delicious. I honestly ate so much through just the apps that I didn't have any room for the actual meal. The wait staff was very quick and eager to give a good experience even though I was in a time crunch. The place was beautifully decorated and had beautiful plants all over. Definitely a place worth checking out the next time you're in Williamsburg.

This is an Israeli restaurant which there is another location in Manhattan. Friendly waiter, has…read moreindoor and outdoor seating. We came here on a Monday at around 11am with no reservation. We were not even planning on eating here but it has been in my list of places to try and our original final stop looked too crowded across the street. We sat outdoors, luckily we were able to use two tables because if not, one table would have been too small and not enough room for our dishes. We came when there were not many people here at all. For Food we had : Hummus and pita- my friend liked it but I thought it tasted kind of nutty which made me a little worried as I am allergic to nuts. As I told waiter before placing order. Pita was good. It was very creamy too. The Hummus came with a side of pickles. My friend does not eat them but I did. They were good but wish they did not come on same plate as olives as I dislike olives very much. So the pickles sort of tasted like the olives. We both got scrambled eggs that came with an israeli salad which was good. I got bacon which was good but sad to see there were only 2 pieces. My friend got this dish but instead of bacon she got avocado. I got the pirogies. These were very tasty and very hot ( in temperature which is great) as our eggs were warm but not hot hot. Drinks: I had an iced latte that was very tasty and my friend had a pomegranate mimosa I would come back here for the pirogies that is for sure. I am also pretty sure this place fills up quick for later brunch times and dinner times.

After waiting for more than 30 minutes, we decided to check on the status of our food and found out our waiter accidentally put in the wrong order for a chicken skewer, which took much longer to cook. As a result, they gave us the dip for free and the chicken skewer with a discount. The chicken skewer was very juicy and tender, but slightly lacked flavor even with the sauces. However, I liked the tomato flavor of the matbucha, and the pita bread was very warm and fluffy.

The restaurant was clean, ordering was fast, the price was affordable, and there was plenty of seating. Sold! We ordered a Chicken Kebab Bowl with "everything": tomatoes, romaine, cucumbers, pickled turnips, jalapeños, sumac onions, cabbage slaw, Lebanese pickles, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese, topped with lemon tahini sauce over rice. The order also came with a small pita (in sealed plastic). It is essentially a Middle Eastern version of Chipotle. I was happy with the freshness (except the pita) and quality. The only unfortunate part was that the olives were overpowering; I would leave those out in the future. Overall, it's a solid spot for a quick meal, even if it's "nothing to write home about." 3.5 stars. Fun Fact. I didn't realize this is actually a chain until I searched Yelp to find the right one to review. They have 30 locations, all corporate run!
