They have the board game, Trouble, at their tables, if you wanted to play something while you waited for your grub. The menu has lots to offer- coffees, teas, sweets, and savories. They also serve some Indian/Pakistani/Desi street food, which are worth a try. The staff has been very friendly and happy to answer questions. I have tried their crepes, the pistachio latte, pani puri, and some juices- consistently yummy stuff. The chicken wraps are good too- but be warned, they tend to season things on the spicier side. Give Kitchen Cuisine a try.

Grilled corn was also a miss -- barely ripe, small kernels, totally flavorless. The saving graces: coleslaw that was perfectly creamy with an unexpected kick, solid mac n cheese, and flavorful yellow rice. The sides did their job, but the mains did not.

This review is for when I dined in back in October. Portions were huge. Staff were extreme friendly, professional and very helpful with everything. Ordered the fried eggplant and didn't really enjoy it, the eggplant skin was not pleasant to eat with the way they fried it. I wouldn't order that again. Also ordered the mansaf since I saw it had good reviews and it looked good. I would give it a 3.5/5 though. The meat was not as tender as I would have liked it to be, I had to eat it with the sauce with every bite. It was definitely a large portion, should be shared. The best tasting dish was the chicken shawarma. 4/5

Restaurant itself has a great vibe with plants, tree, zaatar and olive oil on the table and the server was very polite. Will surely visit again!

Visited Al Badawi on Atlantic Avenue with a party of four. We had originally hoped to add a fifth…read moreperson to our reservation, but unfortunately they were unable to accommodate the extra person. Lesson learned: if you're going with a group, make sure you have your final number when making the reservation because adding someone later may not be possible. We started with the Mezzi Filistini, a mixed platter of babaganoush, muhammara, tabbouleh, salata, tahini and labneh. This was very good, and we tackled it with zest, devouring it with the accompanying pita bread. We also ordered the falafel, chicken shawarma platter and beef kebab platter. The chicken shawarma was decent, but I would have loved more chicken and bigger pieces. There was considerably more rice than chicken, which made the platter feel a little unbalanced. The beef kebab was better, with a good portion of meat and rice, and the accompanying vegetables weren't too bad either. One disappointment for me was the lack of a proper hot sauce. Something with a little heat and flavor would have paired really well with both the shawarma and kebab and, for me, would have elevated the meal. Overall, the food was good and the ambiance was pleasant. Service was also good for the most part, although I was disappointed that we weren't asked if we were interested in dessert before wrapping up the meal. Al Badawi is probably a place I would try again, but not one I'm in a rush to return to anytime soon.

The star of the show were the sides though - the mac and cheese had a bit of spice to it and was slightly tomato based, and the mashed potato salad I LITERALLY wrote home about and told my mom and my aunt immediately, some of the best I've ever had.

We attended a birthday party at Gosht and were seated at a table of 11, including four young…read morechildren. Gosht means "meat" in Persian, and this halal restaurant offers Josper-grilled steaks, burgers, and a range of regional dishes. It's in a heavily Russian-speaking area, and the staff is typically bilingual. The restaurant is well set up for families. It has a nifty little indoor play area and offers children's activities, including a "make your own burger" event. The burgers are precooked, so it's really an assemble your own burger activity. The instructions were entirely in Russian, requiring some of the children at our table to learn by watching. That aside, they all seemed to enjoy it, and some even ate their burgers and fries. We sampled fried pelmeni, bone marrow, the GOSHT Salad, lamb chops, and the GOSHT cheeseburger. The crispy pelmeni dipped in sour cream were delicious. I could have eaten an entire plate. The salad was also very good, with tasty, tender roast beef. The lamb chops were a bit salty but flavorful and very tender. And I also liked the fries which accompanied our burgers, they were hot and crunchy. The cheeseburgers were mediocre, and I wouldn't order one again. I didn't care for the bone marrow either, though others at the table enjoyed it. The supervised play area was a big hit and kept the children cheerfully occupied. There was enough toddler energy in there to power a city. Overall, Gosht is a very good choice for a family meal with young children, especially if you order the pelmeni.
