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.

But this is the first two times that I've gone to their "NEW" sit down location' across from the original. The decor is really pretty and it pays homage to Palestine. The staff is great.

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

My main gripe about this was the fact that they called it the traditional wings combo and they added a picture of fries in the combo. When the order had arrived it didn't come with fries. Turns out all along, the combo only came with a drink and no fries. -1 star for being deceptive in their DoorDash images. Otherwise, the wings were pretty good.

Deliciously delightful menu with taste in every bite!! We were welcomed by a few servers getting us seated nicely and comfortably.

Then we had Zahr Ma Laban, Maklouba & Mixed Grill Plate for our main entrees. And to top off the evening we had Kanafa for dessert. Everything was perfect!!! Will definitely come back for more.

This place earned its spot at the top of my BBQ list--fast…read more I discovered Hometown Bar-B-Que while in the area for my son's soccer game, and let's just say... that detour turned into a game-changing decision. Sometimes the best finds happen when you're focused on family and stumble into excellence. The food is the real deal. Bold, authentic, and done with discipline. Every bite reflects craftsmanship and pride. No shortcuts. No hype. Just results. The open, spacious layout creates an atmosphere that's relaxed, energetic, and inviting--perfect for unwinding, connecting, and enjoying great food without feeling boxed in. It has that Brooklyn-meets-business-meets-community vibe that works. And the pastrami? Memorable. Elite. The kind of flavor that sticks with you and makes you plan your next visit before you've even left.

Hometown Bar-B-Que (Red Hook, Brooklyn)…read more If you're a BBQ lover in NYC, Hometown Bar-B-Que in Red Hook is an absolute must. This place delivers real smoke, real flavor, and that no-nonsense Texas-style authenticity that's hard to find anywhere else in the city. From the moment you walk into the rustic, warehouse-style space at 454 Van Brunt St, you know you're in for something serious. The smell alone will make you hungry. I ordered the brisket, beef rib, and jerk baby back ribs, and each one was perfect in its own way. The brisket melts in your mouth with that beautiful bark and smoke ring. The beef rib is massive, tender, and full of deep smoky flavor. And the jerk ribs are a killer twist spicy, sweet, and unbelievably juicy. Their sides are no afterthought either--mac and cheese, baked beans, and collards were all on point. The staff is friendly, the vibe is relaxed, and even if there's a line, it moves fast and it's 110% worth the wait. Red Hook might be a little out of the way, but Hometown makes the trip feel like a pilgrimage. This is hands-down one of the best BBQ spots in New York City. I'll definitely be back again (and again). Highly recommend. Five stars all the way.

I've visited this spot several times before finally writing a review, and it never disappoints…read more It's a well-known favorite among Central Asians, but you'll see a mix of cultures here, which says a lot about how good the food and atmosphere are. Service is consistently top-notch -- fast, friendly, and very attentive. If you're coming with a big group, definitely make a reservation. Even smaller groups should reserve on weekends or holidays because this place gets packed for a reason. Now the food... always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Their Gosht Burger is one of my personal favorites -- juicy, well-seasoned, and always cooked perfectly. Salads are chopped beautifully and come with just the right amount of seasoning and sauce. And don't even get me started on the desserts -- every single one I've tried has been absolutely delicious. Another huge plus: they have a kids' play zone, which makes it super convenient for families or large gatherings. The kids' menu is actually really cute and surprisingly tasty little ones always enjoy it. Overall, highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere for both adults and kids.

The owner is apparently cashing in on their popularity.
