Mediterranean Breakfast Brunch.
Letty C.

On Sunday mornings the windows are opened and this place is packed. We visited for my birthday brunch. Classic Mediterranean decor including cushioned seating and music builds an extremely intriguing atmosphere. I had an homemade Sangria to start for drinks. The Sangria is daytime friendly, subdued and light. I had an "Frittata" eggs that's similar to an omelette, quiche, or scrambled eggs. This Mediterranean Omelette (Frittata) includes mergues, black olives, cherry tomatoes, sesame seeds, parsley, and feta cheese. The omelette was hard scrambled and thick. I loved the seasoning with lemons and olive oil. We absolutely enjoyed the well seasoned, lightly fried sweet potato home fries. Brunch also includes Shepherd salad with finely chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, long green peppers, onions, and flat-leaf parsley seasoned with lemon and olive oil. I've never had this salad before, it was cut thick and crispy. Nice place for Brunch, great customer services, and right here in Bed-Stuy.

Dips and falafel

The best! Always so, so good. Took some out of town guests there and they loved it too. The service is 5 star ;-) can't wait to try the new location in bed-stuy too

Beautiful corner restaurant. Pleasantly surprised. I ordered a chicken rice bowl and my niece had the kale falafel salad. We both enjoyed the scrumptious food!! So damn flavorful and gratifying with every forkful. The gentlemen gave us a little surprise dessert that was also heavenly. I will definitely return. Had such a great encounter here. They offer happy hour daily from 12pm-7pm. $5 Draft $7 Sangria 1/2 off bottle of wine. They also have a brunch menu. Stop on by if you're ever in the neighborhood you will not be disappointed.

Menu

Stopped in here for a quick lentil soup because the reviews were good and I am pleasantly surprised at the 1) price point 2) quality and love of the food and 3) the cute space and ambiance. The inside is small, but they have a bar for single diners with beer and wine and great coffee and tea. The lentil soup was big for the price and I got a chicken shawarma platter ($20) and lamb kibbeh ($10) to go. No dish, including entrees, is over $20. I will definitely be back to try all the mezze and tapas as some of them were very unique variations. They also have a delicious looking brunch menu on weekends 11am-4pm. The staff was super prompt and friendly and the house made hot sauce is bomb!

Muhamara

Dar 525 is situated in a great location within Williamsburg and Greenpoint. From the outside, the exterior is really inviting - kind of like your neighborhood restaurant spot. The staff were friendly to us and attentive to anything that we might have needed. Dar 525 had outdoor seating and indoor seating - we opted for indoor seating just because of the current heat wave. Food wise, I like how the menu isn't too large. A menu that isn't too large makes it easy to order and everything on the menu looked authentic and like something I'd want to order. We decided to order a mix of dishes - to start out we had the Muhamara, a dip made up of spicy roasted red peppers, cashews, olive oil & spices. The muhamara was tasty and definitely something we could just get a tub of and indulge in for days. Additionally, we ordered the bowls which were packed with flavor and a really good portion - my favorite bowl was the meatballs & bowl.

Kale & Falafel Bowl
Vignesh S.

Dar525's food exceeded my expectations! Every menu item my group tried was a hit. I was especially a fan of the cheese filled Syrian rolls and the kale and falafel bowl. If you're a vegetarian, this place is perfect. The restaurant was a little small, so maybe call in advance if you have a party larger than 4. It's a cute date spot with a cozy ambiance. There were moments where service felt a bit slow, but there was also only 1 server the night we went. He was super nice and worked with our dietary restrictions.

Baklava

Lebanese and Syrian food is a favorite of mine so we stopped into Dar 525 for lunch. After trying an assortment of dishes, I can confidently say this is one of, if not the best Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurants I've visited. From the hummus to the baklava and everything in between, it was delicious. The service was attentive but not overbearing and the outdoor patio had a much needed heater. I'll be back the next time I visit.

I've always passed by this place as I walk to the K bridge. This was always a restaurant that I've been wanting to check out. There are two locations just in case someone gets confused, but this one is in Greenpoint and the other one is in Williamsburg. They take reservations only if you have 6+ pepeople. There are two menus during the weekend which is the lunch menu (11am-3:30pm) and brunch time (11am-4pm). They have an all day menu too during the week (11am-11pm). I chose the lunch special on a weekend and got the Kafta Kebab. The kebab is all meats mixed together and formed into a kebab. You can either get a platter which comes with 2 pieces or a wrap which would be 1. All meals come with bread. I ate their za'atar bread and it was an interesting combination. According to the server it is a staple bread for all Mediterranean people. It is a spiced pita bread with olive oil, spices like oregano. If I'm ever in the mood for Mediterranean food again I would go back here.

Assorted Mezze Plate
Joshua S.

I ordered delivery recently from Dar 525 and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the assorted plate, which comes with five cold mezzes of your choice. I chose muhamara, labne, mousaka, stuffed grape leaves, and chipotle humus. The mousaka for me was just okay. Not really my taste. The rest were super delicious, especially the muhamara. It is a must buy. I also ordered the falafel platter. The falafels are pretty tasty. It also came with hummus and babaganouj, which I really enjoyed. The included salad is pretty good too if you enjoy pickles. It is heavy on those. I definitely look forward to visiting in-person and trying more muhamara and other dishes!

Muhamara ($6)

Went here after Italy beat England in Euro 2020 finals and it was 5 adults and our 22 month old. At around 6:30 pm the place was relatively busy and outdoor setup is pretty good. We sat outside in one of the exclusive outdoor booth. From seating perspective, my only suggestion is I wish they do something about mosquitoes which constantly kept biting me. For Tapas and Dips, we got the Muhamara ($6), Batata Harra ($6), and Pan Fried Cauliflower ($6). For mains, I got the Veggie Pita Wrap ($9). Food overall was absolutely fantastic and is perfectly priced! The Pita wrap is on a slightly thicker side, that's my only criticism. Special shoutout to Elsa... one of the cutest hostess/staff we've ever seen. A single dude in our group totally fell for her! Service was excellent and our excellent food arrived within 25 minutes of ordering.

Beyond average entrees but pretty decent appetizers. Really standard ordinary fare. Don't expect to be blown away but does the trick.

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.

I felt like everything here was very average. The schnitzel was good, not great. It was a little…read moredry. 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.

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.

Absolutely loved the food. Tried it from a catering order and in particular I loved the labneh and…read morethe falafel. Food is fresh, delicious, and authentic. Definitely recommend!
