Had a great dinner here! Love the ambiance inside, very cozy and intimate. The noise levels were pretty good and it was easy to carry a conversation. We had the Rakakat, Charred Eggplant (a must eat!), and Sama Arnabieh (Trout). The service was welcoming as well and had an overall great time here! read more

Absolutely fantastic local restaurant serving fabulous Mediterranean food with Lebanese flair. Fresh unique shareable will definitely be back. Cocktails were beautiful and unique. It's a fairly small restaurant so either make a reservation or get there early. read more

Some of the best Mediterranean food in NYC. There initially was an issue with our server (which I won't specify here) but it was handled really professionally and the rest of the staff (especially the bartender) were great. The food was excellent and between the 5 of us, we tried a decent portion of the menu (sharing is the way to go here). Standouts include the stuffed grape leaves (may have been the best version of this dish I've had), Fattoush Caesar salad, lamb meatballs in this cherry sauce, and roasted cabbage. Don't pass on dessert-- my favorite was the tiramisu (the cream was soooo light and I liked the cardamom; wish it had a bit more coffee flavor), followed by sticky date pudding (great if you like sweeter desserts), and the olive oil cake (my friends liked this more than I did; personally found the lemon cream a bit too tart, coming from someone who loves lemon flavored things). Honestly there wasn't a single dish I disliked, which is rare. Wish this place wasn't so far from where I live but def recommend! read more

I really enjoyed the food at Huda. Everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully plated. The service was attentive and thoughtful, checking for allergies and keeping our waters full. We sat outside, which was nice but a bit noisy since it's on a busy road, and there were a few smokers nearby, so I'd recommend indoor seating for a cozier vibe. They started us off with a complimentary clementine, and we tried the Shamander, Shish Tawook, Kebab Karaz, and Charred Malfouf. All delicious, though portions were on the smaller side for the price. The Shish Tawook, for example, came with only two kebabs for $24, so I'd suggest ordering a bit extra if you're hungry. read more

Huda is an amazing place for Mediterranean food. Came with a group of four and shared 3 apps, pita, and two mains. All were delicious, but especially loved the rakakat. The honey paired so well with the pastry, definitely recommend. The shish barak and yabra2 were so goid. Beef was cooked so tender, and the pairing with yogurt was wonderful. Service was quick and great! They even fixed our table from wobbling, which was really nice. read more

Definitely a cool place with good food.. different flavors. The mezze was perfect for sharing

I met a friend here last night who I haven't seen in so long, we sat outside and enjoyed an amazing bottle of red wine while we chatted. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, happy and welcoming. Our waitress was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and pointed out a few must have items. We had Fattoush Caesar salad which was so good with some pita followed by the scallops over couscous and the flavors were divine with the scallops cooked to perfection. My absolute favorite dish was the Shish Barak (Beef stuffed pasta) I couldn't get enough. 10/10 recommend and will be returning. read more

Delicious Middle Eastern restaurant in Williamsburg! You definitely need to try! Everything was so flavorful. We tried a good bit of dishes and my faves were the pita (so soft & fluffy), kebab karaz, rakakat (so rich), smashed cucumbers & charred eggplant. Inside is beautiful & there's a handful of outdoor seats for when the weather is nice. read more

A cute, cozy spot tucked into a more residential part of Williamsburg -- the space is dimly lit, perfect for a date night or catchup with friends. The servers were great at making recommendations and super friendly! We got a bottle of red to split and it was delicious. IMHO, the price is a bit steep for the portion size but overall enjoyed the food -- there were plenty of vegetarian options. My standouts included the Muhamarra (with the Rakakat) and Charred Eggplant. The Ice Cream with Pistachio Butter was also delicious -- it had notes of orange blossom, super unique! read more

Good food, excellent vibes and atmosphere. I especially reccomend the kebab in cherry sauce, but a cool thing about this place is how the menu is seasonal so you know you're only getting quality ingredients. Do attend. read more

Huda has themed cocktails that are very smart. I liked the bar tender with his soccer jersey! Food wise, 3 out of 4 dishes we ordered were very good. They are the charred eggplants, phyllo + cheese, and the grilled calamari with the smoothest hummus I've tasted. I would say the beef stuffed dumplings needed some extra salt in the fillings. The ambiance is cozy and romantic. I would 100% come back. Service was also to the point. read more

Where to even begin... let me start by saying, this was the best meal I've had in 2025 so far. Not a single miss. Came here for my birthday dinner with my partner and while I sort of knew what to expect on the menu (I've been following Huda on IG), my partner didn't. He trusted me, though, and I'm so thankful for that. When we sat down, we received complimentary champagne and green almonds (which have such a limited season so, what a treat!). My partner ordered the Bunny Be Good mezcal drink and I had the Baskoot drink (loved the Gandour biscuit infusion, so unique) - both very good. We ordered a multitude of menu items at once and they coursed it out for us. Really fantastic service. Started with their pita with ramp butter, batata harra (think: fried potato hashbrown), and charred eggplant. Now, I'm Pakistani and grew up eating a lot of Middle Eastern food - I can tell you right now that Huda's pita was the BEST pita I've ever had in my life. Perfectly fluffy and soft, paired with the butter... just incredible. And both the batata harra and the charred eggplant were so amazing. Beautiful textures and deep flavors. Next, we had the macarona bil toum - little knudi pasta in a lemony garlic sauce. The pasta tasted so freshly made and the sauce was addicting - we almost thought about ordering more pita to wipe the plate clean. Then, to end our mains, we landed on the shish barak (think: beef dumplings with yogurt sauce) and arguably the highlight of our night: duck confit msakhan. We couldn't finish all the shish barak but the yogurt sauce was so rich and the filling was so flavorful - took it home. The msakhan, though?!?! My partner kept repeating over and over and over that the this was the best duck he's ever had in his life. I had to tell him that's a tall statement but he really meant it. Tender with a crispy skin, the onion and sumac flavor penetrated through the entire piece of leg, and the fresh taboon bread underneath it, soaked in the duck jus and more caramelized onion... wow wow wow. This is a MUST if you come here. Ended the night with their olive oil cake (made with Nabulsi olive oil) topped with a Meyer lemon whipped topping - a little dense as one can expect but the Meyer lemon was strong in a great way and the texture was lovely! Beyond food, service was so amazing. Everyone was so lovely and pleasant. We finished off the night with one more drink - we asked the bartender if we could take their za'atar N/A beverage and make it alcoholic. Of course they said yes and so I got it with tequila while my partner got his with mezcal. Absolutely delicious and fresh. The space is beautiful, full of ambient lighting and the vibe is just very well done. Everything was perfect. If you made it to the end of this, I hope this has convinced you to come to Huda. We had the best time and I can say for certain that the food was the best Levantine cuisine I've ever had. Thank you so much Huda team for a wonderful evening! (P.S. they gave us a beautiful sticker of Falasteen's flag with our receipt. Cherry on top!) read more

The favs: RAKAKAT: combination of flavor and texture was very good. BATATA HARRA: literally cube hash browns but who doesn't like hash browns! The okays: SHISH BARAK: filling was a bit bland, once cut the tortellini open, suggest to pour the sauce in before you eat. SMASHED CUCUMBERS: it was okay but could be better. Smashed cucumber on top of labne literally. The not loved: FATTET LAHME: this dish was very bland. Where are the flavors??? --- The appetizers came with a huge side of harissa or labne or something, full of dip and flavor. The entree could use some flavor as well, would be ideal if they served it all together or provide a sauce/dip side for the entree. read more

Is this worth a schlep to BK if you live in Manhattan? Probably not. But if you don't mind a field trip or just happen to be in the area, Huda is a better bang for your buck than most of the other buzz-worthy spots in Billyburg. Just keep in mind that Huda--as with most Middle Eastern / Levantine restaurants in NYC--serves more upscale, fancified, Westernized fare rather than the Maqluba your Jordanian grandma used to make. Case in point: Huda's Fattoush. Almost every version of fattoush I've had in NYC strays far from the original mixture of parsley, dill, other herbs and pita croutons. Huda's was no different. It had way too many red winter chicories and anjou pears, not enough parsley and other green herbs, and an overly tart and pungent dressing that made me gag as we neared the bottom. Grade: F The Mansef, thankfully, was better--served with a hugely generous chunk of perfectly cooked lamb, loads of fried onions/shallots and lots of springy rice. My one quibble--having had the real deal several times in Jordan and other Middle Eastern countries--is that the rice wasn't spiced enough. I should be able to SMELL the cinnamon a mile away. Grade: B The winner of our meal was undoubtedly the Msakhan, a gorgeous marriage of perfectly toasted handmade bread with perfectly roasted sea-caught branzino, with sumac, tahini and taboon acting as the flower girl, ringbearer and usher. I thought I was sick of branzino. Every restaurant has a branzino dish these days--it's the Taylor Swift of fish. But apparently I wasn't because I could've died happy if Huda's Msakhan was my last bite on earth. For libations, do yourself a favor and get the mint tea. The pot might be hot (it should be, if it's made of real pewter), but you won't regret the brew. Plus, antioxidants. read more

Food amazing, staff amazing, bar great, wine great, not happy they had antisemitic flyers at their hostess desk picturing masked women toting machine guns, basically calling for the genocide of my people. But hey--you can't have everything! read more

A new restaurant in Brooklyn and a must try! The foods were delicious. Since the place is new, it was a bit chaotic getting a table despite being on the waitlist for a long time (over 1.5 hours), but we got bar seats, the night was great! The bartenders were fun and made the dining experience a positive memory. The cocktails were also unique and refreshing. read more

Huda - charred eggplant - Arabic Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Snobby host dude who was rude. The chicken kebab meal was tiny! $25 for two small skinny chicken skewers that were more like an appetizer than a meal is theft, and it wasn't even that good and was burnt on all sides and not enough labne for the meal or price. Snooty. Big MEH. The tiramisu with Arabic coffee was way too overwhelming with the spices and cardamom not good at all!! Small and tight space and not comfortable. read more

One of the best Mediterranean meals I've had in Brooklyn this year. We started with the cucumber salad with yogurt and the famous Lebanese dish batata harra. This version is a twist on the classic, with layered deep fried blocks of potatoes served with the traditional sauces. We could not get enough of this delectable appetizer. For larger plates, the eggplant and gnudi were both excellent. The gnudi was served with a generous dallop of toum - probably my favorite dip (but not for first dates). The eggplant was topped with a super crispy garlicky garnish, and I would make sure to order this anytime I return. read more

Huda has been on my list forever and I finally made it here this past week with a friend. It was easy to snag a reservation a week in advance. The restaurant is so cute and cozy! It was packed when we were seated and it was a little loud but quieted down as the night went on. Highly recommend the eggplant, lamb meatballs (so flavorful and unique) and duck confit! The smashed cucumbers were also refreshing and the honey paired with the rakakat was a great combo. They have a great, unique drinks menu as well! The service was also good and we never felt rushed which was really nice. Love that they change their menu up so there's something new to try next time I go! read more

This restaurant was incredible! I had the best shish tawook I've had in my life. Everything we ordered was incredible/life changing--you can't go wrong with any dish here! read more

All of the food was fantastic. Mezze, scallops, lamb tortellini, rakakat - all fab. Service was really friendly. Comfortable atmosphere.

One of my new favorite places in Brooklyn: Very cool and unpretentious Levantine restaurant. Loved everything on the menu so far, but the lamb meatballs with sour cherries in particular are a revelation. read more

Came here at the suggestion of a list of new and exciting restaurants in the area. Big fan of this genre of food but not sure this was my favorite representation of it. The place itself is cute and the service is stellar. Multiple wait staff checked in on us at many time points and never left us unattended. Started with the charred eggplant at the recommendation of the waiter. Aesthetically this was nice and I don't mind eggplant-based dishes. But the garlic was overwhelming to the point where the next morning I was still experiencing this dish. Tried the rakakat, which I really enjoyed. Cheese eggrolls were not what I was expecting when I was looking for what to order but the texture of this was quite nice and the sauce it came with complemented it well. The branzino was recommended, so we went with this. Overall, not my favorite. The seasoning was just fine but I didn't find it to be that different from really any other branzino dish. Also, it was advertised as boneless and this is just not the case, so be careful when you eat this. The fattet lahme was our last dish. Always down for lamb in this genre of food and this was truly the highlight of the night. The meat was delicate and easy to eat. I do wish it had come with something more substantial in the way of starch to eat it with beyond chickpeas, but otherwise would recommend this as one of the mains. The topping flavors were delightful. Overall, glad I tried this new place out but probably would not need to try other dishes on the menu. Most of the appetizers are fairly pricy despite being non-meat based, which seems not intuitive to me in terms of pricing. My hope is that they continue to work around the menu to find their footing. read more

Great food and service! We ate outside and everything paired well for a nice, summer meal. Lots of vegetarian options which I appreciated. My favorite was the freekah while my bf liked the eggplant and kebabs the best. Will definitely come back! read more

I really enjoyed this spot. Food- limited menu but delicious flavors. Service- solid; accommodating. Atmosphere steals the show here! Any place that plays Fairuz and Umm Kulthum has got my vote. The vibes were immaculate; loved the music and decor. I enjoyed the vibe so much here that I returned shortly after my first visit. It is rare for me to hit up the same NYC restaurant within the same month, but I was hype to show my other friends this spot. read more

Food was amazing. Tyra made our night! Would 100% recommend. Best pita and hummus I've ever had m. Definitely order branzino and the date pudding read more

The vibes at this restaurant are immaculate and it's such a welcoming corner spot on a quiet residential street in Williamsburg. There is a warm glow from the candles and the hospitality. Recommend the place for its inventive cocktail flavors and varied wines including from Lebanon. The servers and the staff are all very friendly and there is a relaxed French bistro vibe. On to the food- sad to say it does not come close to meeting any expectations especially at this price point. I grew up with the food from this region, there are many dishes on this menu that typically would be childhood comfort foods for me. The images on Yelp from 2023 vs. 2024 vs. what I was served speaks to perhaps changes in the kitchen, wildly different changes in dish presentation, ingredients and portion sizes. After a $200 meal some parts of it inedible, I bought myself pizza. read more

Some of the best Levantine food I've had in a cute homey aesthetic. Service was fantastic as well!

Food: we should've ordered the whole menu. Special call out on the dumplings, gnudi, and lamb dish - there wasn't a bite that didn't melt in your mouth. Even things I don't typically like (carrots, eggplant) were spectacularly prepared here. Also, the Booza ice cream blew my mind and took me right back to the Middle East! Service: super attentive & sweet. Their operational model has a few hiccups with timing to get our orders in, but give that it was day 5 for them, I think this will naturally resolve Ambience: lovely little interior and bar. Went with in laws for a birthday dinner, but could have been a date night, girls night, or just a cute spot for dinner alone with a solid cocktail. read more

Came in for late Friday night dinner with my honey. Bright & bouncy dining room but tables full! no worries - grabbed 2 stools at the bar & off we went! Undaunted by the 1-page food menu, we took Izzy's recommendations & ordered the eggplant, batata, & calamari mishwi. and then, and then quickly added the branzino & the carrot salad! our chit chat was deliciously interrupted by each handsome bowl & plate that appeared one after the other. big big big flavors!!! excellent hand with the sauces & spices service was attentive & always friendly. very comfortable environment the only things we would change is to have the bread & branzino arrive earlier thanks for the evening Huda! will be back for the rest of that menu read more

A vibrant place with incredibly bright and flavorful food! The carrot salad blew us away with its seasoning and spices - definitely the sleeper hit. The shish barak were as good as they look and a perfect balance of flavors. Fun to experience a pasta dish in this way.

The only eh dish was the eggplant but no matter... everything else was so good we were convinced we need to come back. read more

Absolutely delicious spot - great variety, every single item on the menu was delicious and the ambiance is awesome.

Came for a Saturday night dinner on the earlier side. The vibe felt very cute, and although we didn't try the cocktails those looked great as well! The service could have been a little friendlier / quicker, but the dishes we got made the visit worth it. We tried: the lamb / chickpea main, the calamari and hummus and the eggplant and Rakakat rolls. All were delicious. Would come back but expecting better service for the price point! read more
