First of all the service is excellent and the restaurant beautiful. The dinner menu has changed since the last time I was there and is extremely restrictive.The hummus,as always was great and the food was good to excellent but the chef was heavy handed with the hot pepper on almost all the main courses. I would like to think the chef was having a bad night. I would go back although considering upstairs the next time. read more

Been hearing a lot of buzz about K'Far so came here for brunch to try a couple items out. - Burekas: I tried the olive feta and the spinach ones. My favorite was the olive feta (5/5) - I've had plenty of burekas and this one was really well made. My one complaint is it's hard to believe 1 burekas is $6 when in Israel it's like 50 cents but here we are. - Jerusalem bagel, egg and cheese (3.5/5) very nice but wish it had a bit more kick (or maybe just more salt?) - Jerusalem bagel, salmon (4.5/5) I preferred this one over the egg and cheese. The salmon was great quality. The Jerusalem bagel itself was also solid. There was a bit of a snafoo with our order - the bagel was accidentally sent to someone else and it took over 20 minutes to get a replacement but the servers did let us know that they comped it for us due to the mishap so that was nice of them. The ambiance was a little bit awkward to eat a meal since it's mostly lounge-y seating and it's in the lobby of a hotel but it was still nicely decorated, I'd probably come back when a new burekas craving hits me. read more

K'Far is one of Brooklyn's best kept secrets. The atmosphere is chill, aesthetically pleasing and the food is amazing. The servers are so kind and our boy Mitch was just a down to Earth, willing to help cool dude. The tuna crudo was pretty damn good. Had that little touch of spice that made it interesting. The crispy mushroom hummus was perfection. The Arabic salad was eh okay. Nothing to rave about. Dorade was probably one of the best fish dishes I ever had. De-boned, whole fish and just executed to perfection. The chicken schnitzel had these delicious pickled vegetables on top and it came along with this spicy tahini. It was a generous serving. Honestly, I had a better experience here than Laser Wolf, which is right upstairs. Easier to get reservations (for now) better service and better food. read more

What an amazing restaurant to dine at with a great atmosphere! The food was super delicious and the service was great. The waiter and manager were both attentive to me and my girlfriend. When the manager learned that we were there for her birthday, he comp'd us a birthday sundae for her. 10/10! read more

If I could I would give this spot 10 across the board! This brand spanking new spot is where it's at! Cozy and trendy, it also classy and a cute date night spot. If there is one thing you need to get, it's pistachio sticky bun! It's one of the best pastries I've ever had. For a place only a weekish old, I would have to say the service is already on point! Looking forward to many more brunches here. read more

If you've been to K'Far in Philly, I'm afraid to say that I don't believe the Brooklyn location compares. Given this, I was pretty disappointed. I'd give the restaurant 3.5/5 stars. The decor is very nice but the tables are so close together. It felt uncomfortable to be pretty much sitting on top of the people next to us and I felt that I was part of their conversation. If you visit as a larger group (I think 5 or more people) there are tables that can accommodate and these are more spaced out. If you've been to Laser Wolf upstairs, I also found that experience to be a better one, overall. This restaurant is relatively new so hopefully they'll make improvements. The star of the show at K'Far is the sweets. The gluten free pecan cake ($7) and pistachio sticky bun ($7) were very delicious. I'd come back for both of these! The Jerusalem bagels are also worth ordering. I recommend the egg and cheese ($13) or the grilled cheese with tomato and olives ($15). I wouldn't order the patty melt ($20) again. The kubaneh bread was unique and quite good! The burger seasoning was missing something in my opinion. Also, they don't have regular ketchup, only tehina ketchup which is unique and tasty, but sometimes you also want regular ketchup. I might go back to K'Far in Brooklyn but I walked away slightly disappointed. The baked goods are something special. The same goes for the Jerusalem bagels. If you go, I recommend these. read more

Popped in for brunch to try the Jerusalem bagel and I've been dreaming about it since. The cheese that they use on this is so melty and gooey-ooey it is the perfect contrast to the crispy crunchy bagel. The egg is fluffy and airy. The whole concept together makes a great bite. Highly recommend asking for extra shug on the side as this only enhanced my meal. My friend enjoyed her latkes although both her and I aren't a big fish-for-breakfast type. She really liked the crunchy, crispy edges paired with the cream. We both tried the pistachio sticky bun and the lemon cheesecake babka and although the bable might be slightly more attractive to the eye, 10/10 go with the pistachio sticky bun if you have to choose. Everyone talks about it for a reason. Don't get me wrong, the cheesecake babka was also super yum and I would be totally happy to order it again. We also loved our coffees. The interior is super cute and they even have a combo of indoor/outdoor seating available for all seasons. Service could have been a little better, I found myself looking for our server a few times. Overall, still a great place for brunch and I love that the cafe is next door (all encompassed in the hotel). 4.8/5 read more

Great new brunch spot! I was pretty impressed just walking in because the space itself is beautiful and stylish, with lots of plants and filled with natural light. We started with the sticky bun and the almond challah danish. They were both really yummy, but I was particularly impressed by the latter. It tasted better than it looked - moist and fluffy. And if you like almond/marzipan, you'd love it! Then, we shared the egg & cheese Jerusalem bagel, which really hit the spot. The way they cook the eggs is great, very fluffy, and the za'atar paired with the schug gave it a nice kick. The smoked trout kubaneh was tasty as well, definitely a lighter dish, more like a toast.. which was good since this was already a pretty carb heavy meal. Service was friendly and attentive. I'd love to come back and try their dinner menu next, which I've heard is great, too. Definitely check it out! read more

The amazing spot from Philly is now open in The Hoxton Hotel in Williamsburg. From Mike Solomonov, who also opened Laser Wolf upstairs earlier this year, this is another winner from his growing restaurant group. Immediately open all day for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I just ate most of the lunch menu and will be back tonight for dinner. It's that good, come here any time of the day for a very satisfying meal. The kubaneh, pastries and jersulam bagel sandwiches are just as amazing as they are in Philly. read more

A little pretentious place, the cocktails were really bad, the food was just fine. The underground location and ambiance is intriguing but the food and drinks are not worth the money. A very mediocre place. I won't go again. read more

K'Far - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Review on Yelp is good but it is not all the truth, LOL. I didn't even know this place is on the basement of Hoxton Hotel and it is super touristy area! I went to Laser Wolf at the rooftop of this hotel before and it was pretty good with service and food. This restaurant popped up when I search for breakfast place. Brunch menu is small and not interesting, I was about to leave but my husband still wanted to give them a chance. First of all, Williamsburg that full of tourist nowadays is packed, I totally unterstand. Lots of good, varities restaurant and I'm so appriciated. But I still feel like I'm in the middle of time square, so overall I'm not crazy about K'Far at all. I thought I was going to a local restaurant but instead it is a restaurant in the hotel. Because of, it was crazy busy. The service was lots of mistake and misunderstood like forgetting to put the order and long waiting time, Availability of seats etc. Sorry, if you are visiting you may like it but with people who live here, if you can deal with all of this you may ok. read more

I really loved the vibe of this place in the lobby of the Bruxton hotel. Great then with a delicious coffee, good place to relax a bit...came too late for the pistachio but the signature latte and meat pita bites was delicious! I'll come back for the 30 dollar shnitzel.. read more

The best thing here was the PISTACHIO pastry. Oh my goodness this pistachio sticky bun was seriously 10 out of 10. Was definitely sweet, but the pistachio & stickiness really added this dimension. The sticky bun was perfectly soft. Will definitely be back for this! The Jerusalem bagel smoked salmon ($17) had a delicious crunch but not Anything extraordinary. 7-8/10. We did not have a reservation so walked in and you choose a seat in the café area. Or you can get the pastries to go. This cafe has a chill / Brooklyn vibe!! Nice staff & oat milk latte was creamy and warm. read more

Service was good, our server was attentive and helpful with the food items, as this was our first time. Food for the most part was good, with the brisket being below par. Sauce on the brisket was good, but parts of it was tough to chew or mostly fat. It could've also been my expectation of it being bbq brisket ‍. The brick chicken was good and not too dry, eating it with the sauces it came with helped with adding more flavors and depth to it. Crispy mushroom hummus with the pita bread was 10/10, would go back just for this!! Very cool decorations with the plants, always a plus. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in New York . People rave about laser wolf and the view at laser wolf is breathtaking but the real star is k'far. My favorites on the menu were the crispy mushroom hummus , masabacha hummus, the soft warm pita that comes with the hummus , the Arabic salad ( I crave this salad ), the Persian lamb shank ( so tender ), and the mixed grill. All the accompaniments take the dishes to the next level . Other things i tried that were good but I wouldn't get again were the haloumi baklava ( other guests loved it. it was savory and sweet ) , the lamb tartare, the chocolate kanafi, and the sundae. Love this place . read more

We came here for brunch today and were so happy that we did!! The interior is beautiful and super spacious. We got a bunch of items family style and it was pretty easy to share. We tried the Pistachio Sticky Buns, Ricotta Toast, Eggs & Merguez with Sausage, Arayes, Shakshuka with Sausage and Crispy Mushroom Hummus. While everything was great, I was most impressed with the Arayes, Pistachio Sticky Bun and Crispy Mushroom Hummus. I think I was least impressed with the Ricotta Toast. The pear created a very unique combo but isn't something I would usually go for. Overall, service was great and we really enjoyed it! read more

The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of K'far is the beautiful space it's housed in. Feels like you're eating in a lush garden. Everything we ordered was delicious and I wouldn't hesitate to return. The Jerusalem bagels were a highlight for me. I do wish they had a brunch menu or a more extensive Israeli breakfast menu (currently you come either for breakfast or lunch) but I'm sure that's to come. Service was superb. read more

After walking around Williamsburg on a hot summer day, we really wanted a snack. I checked my trusty Yelp bookmark list to see where we could stop in the area and came across K'Far. We had been to several of Chef Michael Solomonov's restaurants, including Laser Wolf, which was located upstairs, and loved his food, so we were excited to try that more recent venture. We did not have a reservation, but the place had just opened for dinner, so we got lucky with a table in their enclosed garden. Our waiter was efficient, accommodating, and friendly. He greeted us right away, and, when I made the unusual request for an iced coffee at 5:00 pm, he pondered for a second and then said, "We could do that!" Well, he brought me an excellent iced coffee that was rich and bold...but also turned out to be a $6 cold brew. My boyfriend ordered one of their specialty cocktails, the Persian Margarita, which he liked. When it came to the food, we shared both the Baharat Beef Hummus and a side of the Fingerlings Potatoes. The hummus was Chef's traditional smooth, creamy version, but it was topped with sliced, marinated beef and pine nuts. The heavenly spread was served with a fluffy, warm pita for each of us. We wound up asking for more bread and later discovered that our second round had cost another $4 ($2 per pita), which had not been noted on the menu or called out by our server. It was not a huge deal, but just a bit of a surprise. The potatoes had been perfectly cooked to possess the ideal balance of firmness and tenderness. However, they were heavily coated in spices and served with diced shipka peppers, making them spicy and super salty. The potatoes might have been the first item from Chef Solomonov that I had not loved. Overall K'Far was terrific, though it might not have been the right spot for a simple afternoon snack. We likely could have found another spot with more small plates and affordable options, but we were just glad to try another one of MS's restaurants. read more

Food - Sides : Side of basmati rice, fennel cesar and baklava. Entrees: Short rib, hanger steak and schnitzel. In depth notes on the food: Schnitzel was fried with kadaif which is unorthodox for schnitzel but had an extra texture and flavor to it. Short rib had very earthy and deep flavor. Hanger steak had a slight coffee flavor. Everything was delicious. Service: Very nice and professional service. Ambiance: Very vast restaurant, nice decor and music. Also baby friendly. Highly recommended. read more

Such a cool vibe inside the hotel and restaurant. Open , bright and comfortable. The food was exceptional and our service top notch. I loved the egg sandwich because the egg was baked with za'atar seasoning and cheese. Baking it keeps the egg light and fluffy. The latkes and lox combination was fantastic and rich. The potato pancakes were perfectly crunch and cooked perfectly. The lox was fresh and Smokey. Want to try more of this place. read more

Delicious meal, great ambiance. Went with a group of 5, food was spaced out well and we were able to take our time and enjoy!

K'Far is like Brooklyn's best-kept secret, wrapped in a chill vibe and served with top-notch food. We shared avocado toast, chicken schnitzel, pita and hummus, and the Arabic salad. Everything was delicious. Our server was down-to-earth server and made our experience even cooler. Also the sunroom--semi-enclosed and sun-kissed, it set the perfect stage for our feast. i highly recommend K'Far and don't forget to bring your taste buds and your sense of wonder. This place delivers on all fronts. read more

Since we got there a bit early for our reservation at Laser Wolf, we decided to grab drinks at K'Far's lobby lounge bar. The seating area was full so luckily we were able to grab a spot at the bar itself. We tried a few of their signature cocktails, and my favorite was the CG&T, which is celery gin & tonic. The celery really works with the herbal gin! Also really liked the Aunt Debbie. First time trying a cocktail with za'atar! Service at the bar was as expected although it looked like the bartender was having a rough day and she was banging things around a bit. read more

Came here with family for my wife's 30th birthday and had a great overall experience. The decor of the restaurant is very nice with soft lighting and candles at the tables providing a very intimate dinner setting. The decor also fits the Mediterranean theme and there are many beautiful plants to support the ambiance. The drinks were absolutely delicious. Would recommend the yalla yalla with gin and the CG&T. I never expected celery juice to pair so well - the drink is well balanced without being too sweet and the celery flavor is not overpowering. The hummus was a hit as well as the Arabic salad! Of the dishes we had, the cod chraime and the short rib were among our favorites. If you're ordering the cod, be aware that it does carry a little bit of spice to it and it pairs very well with the basmati rice. The short rib was very large and SO tender - absolutely delicious. Each dish was plated well and very appealing. Overall would come again for the great service, ambiance, and food. K'far did not miss. read more

Deeply frustrating experience. We put our name down for 6 people and were told it was an hour and 15 minute wait. We came back in time even though we didn't receive a text. The staff told us there was no way we were getting seated for "at least" another 45 minutes. When asked why this changed, we were told the prior staff member "made a mistake". We stuck around for another 30 minutes and decided to just check again that we were roughly on track. Then we were informed that they made another "mistake" and only put us down for 2 people. At no point were any apologies offered nor any accountability taken. Beautiful space but honestly who gives a shit, when the service is this bad. read more

One of the most underrated hidden gems in NYC! The menu is so eclectic though you can't miss The schnitzel or the exceptionally excellent spicy Chrayme (yeh Americans it took you sometime to know how to say Shakshuka , hummus & sushi ....) and obviously the kubane what ever flavor or taste you can't go wrong . And you got to try all of their pastries and specifically the pistachio sticky bun . All are at ELITE quality and very delicious! Beautiful and friendly space and great service to complete. So , if Laser Wolf is too busy , this place is definitely a great substitution , maybe even in some ways better. Highly recommended!!!! Definitely A destination!!!! read more

Food is 10/10. Everything was delicious. I visited last week after 2 years, and it was even better than I remembered. I don't give out 5 stars lightly but there are no notes for this restaurant. read more

In the hotel and down a level from street, this light and open, airy, buzzing spot is great for brkfst/lunch. Well-spaced and comfortable tables for 2 to 10 people in indoor sunlight with good music. Add to that really flavorful Med dishes and pita that's soft and chewy and K'Far is a winner!! The shakshuka is hearty and full of tomatoes, onions and eggs. Added merguez sausage for the spice and savoriness and it was next level. The fried kebabs in pita were another huge hit. Great wait staff service, too. read more

I love the way the inside is decorated and I love the cutlery they use. K'far, Laserwolf's sister restaurant, is a much quieter calmer vibe than the upstairs rooftop restaurant (which don't get me wrong is one of my favorites). The mushroom hummus here is delicious and comes with the pita that Laserwolf also serves. I also loved the potatos. The green beans were not what I expected, more of a soupy stew like consistency. I don't really recommend ordering the side order of rice either. The entrees are pretty good as well. I've also been to K'far for brunch and got the shakshuka - it wasn't anything special and didn't blow me away... I think I prefer their dinner menu. read more

Loved it from the beginning to the end; excellent service, delicious food, and great ambiance. The place is so inviting we almost wanted to pay for a night stay at the Hoxton LOL. Luckily we sobered up after our meal and decided to head home instead. We started off with the mushroom hummus, baklava, and lamb tartare. We were so delighted by all the flavor profile every dish had. I thought the hummus would be very average but I was pleasantly disproven. The strong well balanced taste of the tahina was so delicious. Every dish was wonderful. Our drinks were great tasting as well. I like my drinks strong, they weren't strong but delicious. Our most mains include the dorade, mixed grill, and hanger steak. The dorade was a little bit light in flavor, but the mixed grill and hanger steak was perfection! The mixed grill was definitely the highlight of our main courses. Cannot recommend it enough the meats are cooked and flavored so well that it was gone within moments. The mixed grill came with sauces and the peach amba had a unique taste that wasn't to our liking but everything else was delicious. Their dessert was good but did not wow us. The olive oil cake was a little bit on the dry side. Chocolate kanafi and sorbet tasted great but the main entrée outshined the rest of our meal. read more

What a beautiful restaurant! I was intrigued by the vibe and layout at the moment I entered the hotel. The bakery & cafe are on the left hand side and the restaurant on the right. The inside was very bright and spacious featuring a clear glass ceiling and a lot of vibrant green plants, creating the vibe of dining in the nature / jungle. The food here was amazing. The hummus was very smooth, flavorful and fragrant with the beef and pine nuts. The summer squash had a great texture with the crunchy spices on the top and creamy sauce at the bottom. The dorade was my favorite dish, it was so good that I could not stop eating it - the fish was perfectly seasoned and grilled, crispy on the skin and tender on the inside, and the little yellow tomatoes were a surprise to add to the flavor. The chicken was very nice too with the apricot sauce and harif, the meat was juicy and tender, although I wasn't a big fan of the slaw. And last but not least, the service was awesome. It was well-paced, and the servers came to change our plates after the appetizer too. Our waitress was very nice, we asked for recommendations from her, and ended up ordering all four dishes that she recommended, and it turned up that they are all so tasty! read more

Brunch here was lovely! The space is beautifully decorated, a bit tropical and reminded me of LA. The pistachio sticky bun was phenomenal. My latte was solid.
