57. Fahfahena Limeade Smoothie
Kevin K.

Fahfakhina or Araisy. So yeah, have you ever tried to stress test the thin line between smoothie and shake? There's always this thin vaneer of "healthiness" hidden behind a smoothie, like if you toss an apple, a banana, 2 raw eggs, whey protein powder and peanut butter into a blender with a scoop of ice, somehow the contents of the dasher is now automatically healthy, and you'll get swol/ripped if you pound 3 a day, deadlift 230 on the press, and spend 3 hours at the gym. Well, the problem here is that you can easily spend 20 minutes working out and 2 hours 40 minutes posing, and then ingest almost 1000 calories on the wrong thing (whipped cream + ice cream + mango syrup). Me, I just go directly to the jugular, ignore the healthy swol muscleboy nonsense and go for the stuff that I like. And what do I like? Araisy. What's an Araisy? It's an Arab milkshake/smoothie that contains fruits and nuts, commonly served in places like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen or the UAE. Since I frequent Arab neighborhoods like the Upper Steinway section of Astoria and/or Bay Ridge, it's one of those things that I have an affinity for - of course, most coffee joints have a variant of that (like Selab served at Elkayam in Astoria), as does most good seafood places (Sabry's have their cocktail), but you know which version I like? The one at Hemo's. What do they have? Cold mango yogurt, chopped apples and mango, peanuts, dried dates and raisins, generously annointed with berry syrup. How much is it? 20 oz is about 7 bucks as of Summer 2022. Why should you have it here? Eeeh, I had it at other places, and they are either runny, flavorless not cold, doesn't have much nuts and fruits, or a combination of all 4. You want it to be thick, flavorful, cold with plenty of fixins'? Get it at Hemos. You know what's great? Walking along Park Slope, 3rd or 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge, or Upper Steinway in Astoria with an Araisy in your hand (yes, they have multiple locations). You know what's even better? Pay 2 dollars extra and spring for the Fahfakhina - which is an Araisy but with ice cream added. Know what's even better than that? The Hemo Special. A halal hamburger (a bit thin on the patty), fries and a freaking Araisy for 14 bucks (not available at Park Slope). Yeah, you can certainly give their juices and crazy sandwiches a try, or go next door for their coffee. Me? Araisy or Fahfakhina. Always.

(I'm going to update and preface my review by stating that Hemo's Spot spinach pies are the best I've had in my entire life. Loaded with spinach and so lemony. And that dough! Very delicious). Popular corner spot on 5th Avenue that has undergone a name change (possibly new owners). Whenever in the area, I drop in to have some kind of beverage, whether hot or cold. In addition to tea, coffee, smoothies and juices, it seems they've expanded with more food choices. Burgers and fries seemed to be the go to lunch today, but there were many Middle Eastern delights (my preference) such as spinach pies and a variety of breads--cheese, meat and my favorite, Za'atar loaded with all those delicious spices. It smelled delightful in there. I also saw Medjool dates and snacks/desserts available for purchase. Some necessary information: ample seating, restrooms, credit cards accepted (you'll be charged tax) and friendly/helpful staff. I ordered the #97 juice, super protein, which was kale, apple, pineapple and cucumber. Reasonably priced at $5 for 16 ounces. I also took home spinach pies and a Za'atar bread ($3 a piece). I like Hemo's Spot. Quick, delicious, clean and hits the spot for a craving (pun intended).

There are two Hemo's - one is a juice bar/cafe, and it's next door to their other spot which is... also a cafe, but with more food? Honestly, not sure. I just wanted coffee so I stopped in the smaller one (it's on 5th and not on the corner). They have lots of baked snacks, spices you can buy by weight, and of course, coffee. Got a latte, and it was pretty damn good.

This green juice: Lime, Kiwi, Apples, Ginger   Addictive!

So many options, healthy and comfort food. Had Chai here too on a rainy day, mm A welcoming place, attracts so many different types of people. I find it as a gem of a place to get work done with wifi, couches, and nourishment.

3arsi drink: mango smoothie with a syrup, don't know what it is but tastes so good.

I had the absolute pleasure of attending a bridal shower here this spring, and the experience was…read morenothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, the service was flawless -- warm, incredibly attentive, and perfectly paced. The refreshments were so great for a celebration. The Cocktails: Expertly crafted and sophisticated. It was refreshing to have drinks that were perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The coffee was served alongside dessert, it was rich and the perfect finishing touch to a wonderful meal. While the Filet Mignon was a popular and well loved choice among our group, and the Meatballs were universally raved about for being truly excellent, the real showstopper for me was the Chicken Parmesan. I don't typically order steak, so I was delighted by this choice. The cutlet was impressively sized yet elegantly thin, showcasing the high quality of the chicken. It was served with a side of creamy mashed potatoes, which was such a comforting and delicious pairing. It did remind me of visiting Germany believe it or not like a schnitzel style cutlet but still very italian if that makes any sense. If you visit, you simply cannot miss the fried eggplant appetizer with burrata. It is divine! This dish alone would be the perfect excuse to drop by for a casual dinner date or a "girls' night out" centered around appetizers, wine, and to try a dessert. I would absolutely return!

The fried calamari could've been less oily, as this took away from the crunch; also slightly overcooked. Baked clams were decent. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Pizza was great! They reheated for us, since our group was too busy chatting. Desserts - phenomenal! Drinks- ehh. Brunch menu - French toast was decent. The salmon over hash brown , was lacking a touch of something , couldn't pinpoint what was lacking. Chicken and waffles, decent, wasn't the best I've had. Service- jonathan was our waiter during brunch and also our bartender. He's GREAT! During service dinner, we had a female waitress and I felt she lacked attention to details and couldn't flag her down when we wanted something. Overall, service is a hit or miss , I guess? If you're looking for an intimate dinner, nope. Love their vibes and music playing in the background. You might need to "shout"'to hear

The decor is over the top in the best way. Trains running around the ceiling, lights, signs, decorations hanging everywhere. Classic old school tavern feels all the way. The menu is full of classic bar food with great prices. They do use English muffin buns for the burgers which actually works, easy to get to the beef patty. I liked the char on the burger, gave it that smoky grilled bite that hits, but I asked for medium rare and got medium well, so the temperature was overdone, made it a bit dry and less flavorful than I wanted. The cheese slice was thin too, could've used more punch, but flavors still hit. Service was nice and attentive, but kitchen can be slow, so don't come in waiting super hangry.

Not because of how good it is but because of how it's served. Not on your classic bun but on something even more delicious: an English muffin. No other place I know serves a burger like that and you know what? It works. It is so delicious and juicy and just plain good! Been coming here for a long time and will definitely be coming more. It's one of my favorite bars in Brooklyn.

I pass this place daily, zoomin' by I'd see Philadelphia something. The video gave a full explanation and why I need to put Philadelphia Grille in my lunch rotation. Walking inside, I know what I want. Steak with white american cheese with the works (onions, peppers, and hot peppers) There's an option for mayo, I'm not sure who's getting mayo on their cheesesteak but hey, you do you! The owner comes to the front and I tell him I saw this spot on social media. Everything looks amazing, I can't wait to try my sandwich. How long have you been in business? I'm expecting 18 months, he tells me over 30 years?? Wow! Not only is Philadelphia Grille a sandwich shop but they're also serving pizza for decades. I must point out, Philadelphia Grille is a very small spot. Walking inside, you're faced with a small counter. Once you have your food, they have tables and chairs in a covered lanai. I'd be a chilly Billy eating my sandwich so I took it to go. Once I get back to my Brooklyn Fortress of Solitude I dig in. The cheesesteak my way? Dynamite. Italian bread from Brooklyn wrapping up a cheesy meat fest. Philadelphia Grille did everything right in Brooklyn! I can't wait to come back and try the roast pork. And then mix it up the following week with a grilled chicken sammy.

Open kitchen and limited amount of seats let us keep the place cozy and intimate, just like home. We make sure to buy from local purveyors, coffee roasters, and bakers." Home is where the heart is and there is nothing quite like a home cooked meal. I have to say most Bay Ridgians enjoy dining local and in our neighborhood. I love to support neighborhood gems because majority of restaurant owners here, love their clients, establish loyalty through cooking delicious food and provide consistent great customer service. I was in the mood for a " comfort food"breakfast, you know, eggs, avocado, mozzarella, tomato, deliciousness and I found it on the menu simply named "Breakfast Sandwich". Which consists of voila: Mozzarella, avocado, tomato jam, arugula, crispy bacon, dijonaise, sunny side up egg between multigrain toasts. I ordered this sans the bacon ( requested turkey bacon which they do not have). What arrived in my plate was this decadent open faced egg sandwich that looked delectable.. and was!! Let's first talk about the wheat toast: I tasted it naked and it simply melted in my mouth. The ingredients worked well together, perfect synchronicity. I used one half of the toast to sop up any fallen ingredients. Highly recommend! For a drink, I wanted something a bit different, thus, ordered the Mango Mint Peach tea, fruity with a hint of mint. Loved it and went well with the Sammy! There are lovely options besides breakfast sandwiches like quinoa, oatmeal, granola, pancakes, French toast.. breakfast is served all day and lunch is served @noon. I arrived before 12 and was told I can order breakfast or lunch. It has a cozy, intimate vibe which I love.. one where you can dine solo, or do work or read or just enjoy the fabulous food. I will make "The Common" my home away from home. Additionally, there are cooking classes in their Park Slope location; the courses look great: Italian feast, Moroccan cooking, Wine Pairing and many more. Check out their website for more info. More to come from me.. The Common is located on 9406 3rd Avenue

It took about 10-15 minutes for us to get seated and the service was so friendly. There was so many delicious dishes and I decided to go with the lebanese skillet breakfast and a cappuccino. My friend got the pulled pork bowl and we decided to get the pancake to share. The dishes came out pretty quickly and at the same time. It was so hearty and filling and wasn't heavy at all. The pancake also had a great taste and crunch from the skillet. It wasn't sweet at all so it was easier to eat. The portions are perfect! The staff and ambiance are so lovely and I'm looking forward to trying the other dishes.
