I am NEVER in that part of Brooklyn, and found this spot because I needed to go to Citibank across the street. I will be back and often. GO!!!! It puts other places to shame!

If it is your first visit, the beef fahsa and lamb haneeth are the way to go. Both are rich, satisfying, and showcase what the menu does best. One thing I really appreciated was being able to self-serve tea throughout the meal. It is a small touch, but it adds to the experience and makes the whole visit feel more welcoming. I would definitely come back.

Super fast service! Lots of sitting, turn over is very fast and quick! It was a cold night, we got…read morea table right away without wait! But there are always customers come and go! We took our seats, we ordered. Lentil soup came right away. They did not stop refilling the warm pita. We didn't even need to ask! They just come! Very comfortable, causal setting! Would def come back for more!

I met a couple of friends here for dinner before a concert at Roulette. There's plenty of seating…read morein the back, plus an outdoor space that I'm sure is awesome in nice weather. Walking through, you get a nice view of the kitchen area, seeing where the magic happens: an exciting way to start the experience! My group decided to share a few things, all of which were delicious. The vegetable pizza (or "pitza" as they style it) was a huge hit: we loved the crust, with its resonant notes of olive oil, and the mozzarella cheese could not have been fresher. The olives and peppers delightfully balanced the cheese and tomatoes, making for an irresistible flavor profile and mouthfeel. Seriously, do not underestimate this formidable pie! The chicken platter came loaded with grilled chicken, hummus, and salad, along with warm, freshly baked pita. Perfect option for the person that wants to take their time sampling a variety of foods. The leg of lamb sandwich, meanwhile, is ready to be consumed at whatever pace you deem fit: indeed, one of our party devoured it voraciously, no crumbs left behind. And finally, we also worked our way through the large feta salad, which turns out to actually be an enormous platter of crumbled feta with some diced tomatoes on top. Don't order this expecting a leafy green salad, it's all cheese! BUT, do order it so that you can add some tangy feta to everything else on the table. It really makes the flavors pop. My first impression of Bedouin Tent was excellent. Service was great and the prices are very fair for the area. Whether you're seeking a more traditional Mediterranean meal or something with a fusion twist, this is an awesome spot to consider.

Arrived here for dinner before a show at Barclays with a party of 3 at around 6:30, and it was…read morefairly empty, which was really surprising! The restaurant was pretty spacious with some outdoor seating as well. We were greeted and seated right away. We ordered the small babaganoush, hummus, and 3 sandwiches. The small dips were actually a fairly large portion, we didn't finish either. The sandwiches however were a bit on the smaller size, but they were still tasty! The pricing was fairly reasonable, and the ambiance made for a lovely dinner. I'd definitely come back here if I'm back in the area!

Everything we've tried on this menu has been absolutely delicious! The place is super tiny, and…read morethere may or may not be seating available for you, but they also do takeout so you can take your food to-go if they don't have seating. The team here is so friendly and they're good at giving you a heads up of how long orders will take. The food is a fantastic deal as you get a lot of it for the price, and it's always perfectly seasoned. What I've tried so far: - the falafel platter - the lamb platter - the steak sandwich - a number of juices and smoothies The falafel platter - INCREDIBLE deal for the amount of food. Only $11 for falafel, a salad, hummus, and pita. The falafel aren't dry and overall they're well seasoned. The only thing this is missing is their rice (which is amazing on its own). The lamb platter - I like this included super flavorful rice. Generous portion of meat. Definitely heavier than the falafel platter. Steak sandwich - SO good. They have some kind of secret sauce that ties everything together. Portion was smaller than the platters (easier to get through in one sitting) and this was probably the best thing I tried on the menu. It does say it comes with a side salad but we never got one. Would be better with a salad to balance out the steak+bread. Smoothies and juices - very fresh and tasty. Overall, we're very happy we found this cute neighborhood falafel spot :)

Abdullah knows his business, and his business (as far as I can tell) is making delicious shawarma…read more We rolled in and quickly decided we needed some lamb shawarma with the works. Abdullah is super friendly, very helpful, and was only slightly confused that two men were about to share a lamb shawarma platter as opposed to getting their own separate meals. (What Abdullah did not know is that this was our second lunch of the afternoon - classic bang bang - and we're pretty comfortable with each other.) When it came out, the platter was everything I'd hoped for. A stunning, colorful array of intensely flavorful lamb slices carved off the spit and served over rice and salad, slathered in white and hot sauce, topped with pickled vegetables. To be sure, I regretted having a second lunch, but not because of anything amiss with the food. And I also regretted not getting any baklava, but I'll rectify that next time around.

Looking for Lebanese and not in Bay Ridge? Hit up Barouk in Park Slope, Brooklyn…read more The owner / chef makes everything from scratch. Had Tamarind soda (not made there), vegan spinach pies, chicken and lamb pita, beef kofta pita, zinger chicken burger and baklava (no butter). Food came out relatively quickly and had a great conversation with the owner. Parking was easy on a Saturday. Priced inexpensively for the area where most entrees are $30 and up.

Ordered from here last night and absolutely loved the food…read more The tzatziki and tarama dips were SO good. The half chicken with spinach rice was solid but lacked salt. Still, I'd order from here again for sure. So nice to have found a Greek food spot in Brooklyn with affordable prices.

An authentic family owned Greek restaurant offering delicious food …read more We started with the hummus dish with fresh pita. It was fresh and flavorful. We also had the Keftethakia. Meatballs in a tomato basil sauce. These were by far the standout dish. The meatballs were tender and hearty and simmered in a simple sauce. We also had the Spanakopita. They also did not disappoint. The Mousaka was robust with a mixture of flavors, onions and tomatoes. Service was excellent and assisted us with our selections. The restaurant is small and cozy, and there were many people picking up orders to go. I highly recommend Avlee if looking for authentic greek dishes.

We tried the mushroom hummus, Zaa'tar fries, chicken shawarma sandwich, and Shakshouka. All of the food was delicious and well-made; I would recommend the mushroom hummus. The best part of the meal was the pita bread that comes with the hummus and also shakshouka. It was some of the best pita I've ever had; it had a nice chewy and soft texture. It came out warm and tasted so fresh. Service: Service was excellent. Staff were welcoming and friendly. They were attentive and constantly came around to fill our water. Ambiance: There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is a good size with many tables to accommodate both large and small groups. Seating is comfortable, and the ambiance is nice. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant!

I loved this restaurant! I was staying not too far from them…read moreso I walked there one night. As soon as I was seated I was offered a complimentary tea. My server was gentle and kind. There were so many items on the menu but I decided to try a dish I had never had before. I chose chicken gallaba. They brought me a salad and lamb broth first. I did not expect those but I loved it. My dish was huge. The plate itself was huge. They gave me a ton of basmati rice! I loved the smell of the spices and the bursting flavors. I was only able to eat maybe 1/3 of it but I enjoyed the leftover later. I think this is such good value. The place is not big but has a cozy home feeling to it. I recommend!
