    Mastiha 50/50
    Miranda M.

    A really wonderful addition to the neighborhood. Come here for great vibes, drinks and music! The menu here is fun and has a little something for everything. The drink menu is even more standout. The Mastiha 50/50 is unexpectedly refreshing and so easy to drink. Niv's Flip is unique and worth trying if you enjoy mezcal. I do wish their kitchen hours were posted online because we've missed the food cut off before which was disappointing. Inside there's a variety of seating, but I really like the bar seating as there is often a dj spinning vinyl right at the bar, really adding to the intimate vibes of the space. Follow their socials as they often host events with other local businesses!

    Finally, a great Mediterranean spot in Bed-Stuy! - Super fun interior, I imagine this would have been your neighborhood bar in 1970s Lebanon. - Delicious and refined dishes: love and recommend the Babaganoush & Bread, Laziza Caesar, and Lamb Kebab. - Would have preferred the 4-Hour Lamb Shoulder as chunks of lamb versus shredded - My daughter loved the Chicken Cutlet and Fries. Note: - This spot gets super busy, especially on nights and weekends, recommend making a reservation on Resy. Looking forward to returning!

    The word "laziza" and its derivatives connote deliciousness across the Arabic linguistic sphere of influence, as far east as Urdu's "lazeez," and as far west as Turkish's "lezzetli." Right here in Bed-Stuy, chef Nima is living up to this pan-Middle Eastern newcomer's rich namesake heritage with a variety of expertly-executed mezzes and innovative kebabs. We had the privilege of hosting our holiday party here and enjoyed an excellent array of labne, hummus, babaganoush, and muhammara, all decadent with a generous portioning of olive oil and garnishes provided on the side. Sade pide rather than pita was provided as a crunchier vessel for dipping. For vegetarians, the most unique kebab is without a doubt the potato tahdig, an innovative play on the classic Persian burnt rice dish that attempts to recreate the same effect on a scalloped potato. While not my favorite single bite of the evening, it is absolutely worth trying for the novelty. And the vibes? As on point as you would expect for a vinyl bar on Utica.

    After anxiously awaiting the unveiling of the newest restaurant in the area, I had the pleasure of dining at Laziza on their second night open. I'm excited to welcome them to the neighborhood and explore more and more of their menu. The restaurant is a bit narrow and dimly lit. The decor is modern and the visible speakers around let you know that music is an important part of their program. Though packed it wasn't terribly loud and accommodated both pairs and groups. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Laziza encourages you to take your time and enjoy the menu at your own pace. We ordered dishes in stages which allowed us to really enjoy what we were eating and also saved table space. The menu items are served as small plates, and shared is highly recommended. We started with the falafel and muhammarah, from the hot mezze and the dip sections, respectively. It was my first falafel experience and it was really good. My boyfriend said it has probably ruined all other falafel for me. It's served with a more sesame-forward toum and a spicy pepper sauce. The muhammarah dip is made of walnuts and lentils and topped with pomegranate seeds, then served with Turkish pide (bread). The dip was quite flavorful with a slightly crunchy texture. Next up, we had the sujuk (beef sausage), grilled butterflied prawns, and ali nazik kebap (beef and lamb skewer). I really liked the kebap because it was served atop a mashed eggplant situation, and I don't typically care for eggplant. It was a nice texture and really good to eat with the skewer. I also enjoyed the pickled beets with the falafel despite not being a typical beet-eater. (Lesson here: try new things!) The prawns come with a mango salsa that we didn't leave a trace of. The sujuk had a smokey flavor and was more rich compared to most pork sausage I've had. Lest I forgot, the cocktails! I had Marie's Cure and Eddie's Milk Punch. I also tried a bit of Tedy's Old Fashioned. I enjoyed them all, but Tedy's sticks out for the uniqueness factor. I'm into the milk punch resurgence and will be glad to be able to get one in the neighborhood. Laziza is branding itself as a cool spot to go with friends, listen to music, and enjoy good food in leisure, and they're right on target.

    This eatery is hip, romantic, and bustling. From the analog turn table dj to the tasty appetizers and entrees, I understand the hype. A local restaurant within an active small Brooklyn strip. Great for dates, group dining out, or casual bar nights. The service is exceptional as the food and drinks. Ordered the Turkish pide bread with hummus, lamb mesweh, and lychee syrup iced tea, ending with baklava for dessert. The pide bread is new to me but similar to focaccia or pita bread. The hummus tasted house made. The lamb entree (which I always ask if tender) was savory with pickled vegetables served on top a pita bread and with charred pepper ots. I'm not a lamb person but this was delicious. The date syrup tea was sweet and light. I'm a fan of date syrup now. Lastly, the baklava was the most light buttery and sweet ever tasted. The food and atmosphere was energetic and welcoming. The restrooms are located in the basement level adjacent dj/bar. There's also back patio seating during warmer months. You can walk in or reserve. I recommend reserve because of consistent crowd. I highly recommend laziza.

    Easy checkout!

    We live really close to this restaurant in bed stuy and I've been awaiting its opening as I walk past it on my way to the subway (Utica Ave "A"). Let's get into the ambiance of the spot, forget ambiance I'm going to call it a vibe. It felt like I could've chilled there all night if they had a DJ. Service was excellent too, everyone from our waitress to the dude who brought out our food. She made suggestions and checked on us the appropriate amount of times and we definitely didn't feel rushed or bothered allowing us to enjoy our meal however being close enough to grab her attention if we needed anything. Let's get into the EATSSSS! Those fries were the best fries I ever tasted HANDS DOWN and that's saying a lot from me because both wifey and I are def "potato heads" they were fluffy on the inside and perfectly crunchy and salty on the outside. Everything was really tasty and you could tell it was freshly made and well thought out. Def will be back! Go here!!!

    Love this spot! The food at Laziza is always super tasty. Everything is fresh, well-seasoned, and promptly served. The kebabs and hummus are my go-to, but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The staff were really friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Great vibes, great food, and great service. Definitely one of my favorite places in Brooklyn now.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

Unfortunately this place fell very flat. Leading with what we liked: Their mocktail offerings were good, promising a 0.0% ABV which is hard to come across when mocktails are offered. They serve oysters, which adds to that aphrodisiac experience of the oh so 'wow this is a former brothel!'. The bartenders and servers were fast and very sociable with the more sociable customers. The immediate entrance is very tight, and it was uncomfortable navigating the space. We expected there'd be more seating in the back, which there was, but it was limited and not offered to us until we asked for it. We honestly had no clue where it would be and only asked because of how this place was advertised. While it was comfy once we made our way back there, it was reminiscent of a lounge style bar space that almost any bar could replicate with the right room and budget. We didn't feel as though this hit the spot and were let down by this experience. I'm not sure if I can judge the menu of drinks/ foods as expensive, but we left hungry bc we couldn't justify some of the prices. In addition, I've seen a lot of complaints about the volume of the music: it's definitely loud at the front but a lot lower in that back lounge space. It's as loud as any bar's music level would be, but truth be told we were expecting music that matched the vibe of what was advertised and yes, at a lower volume.

I've made it a point to visit every vinyl listening bar that I learn of in town, after enjoying the shared experience of someone curating a select vinyl list in intimate spaces in Tokyo. Few have been able to replicate the experience, but Honeycomb Hi Fi Lounge comes close. That the space is narrow with just a few seats along the bar and a few tables mimics the Japanese experience best, where you can almost have it so the whole room is having one conversation together. The music is the focus. The cocktail menu is rather simple, and my Stormbringer drink, with dark rum and ginger beer was not anything to write home about, but $15 is pretty low for cocktails these days so I'll take it. If they introduced new cocktails to the menu with more interesting ingredients I'd be more inclined to return, but the vibes overall are pretty good and the staff really nice.

    Was brought here by a dear friend, a neighborhood regular…read more The cocktail was amazing, selection very diverse- many hard-to-find liquors, etc. Bartender was incredibly knowledgable and attentive. My friend and I each order a cocktail, and are catching up. I'm from Brooklyn, however I no longer live here, and this was precious catch-up time with my friend. Then I get interrupted mid-sentence by the old-timer DJ from his low seat in a corner behind the bar. I had bumped the bar with my wrist (bumped my wrist watch as well, not deliberately) and then placed my hand down (granted- more than placed but definitely not slammed), and he decided to warn me that I COULD HAVE made his record skip. It was the Eagles or Santana (far from eclectic, but that's just me). I'm also 99% certain he turned the volume up afterwards, making it even harder to enjoy the company. After that interaction, I struggled to pick it back up with my friend, because I found that distraction very effing rude. When this "4th wall" gets broken down with service, it is hard to then enjoy the space in an uninhibited state. I am all for the Tokyo Vinyl Bar vibe, and I'm also for also giving talent an outlet to share their collection, but this interaction colored my experience, and I closed out after one drink and went elsewhere. I mentioned this to the bartender, and he was kind to offer a buy-back of a rare whiskey, which I did accept. 5 stars for the bartender, but 1 for my experience. I don't like to be harsh or unnecessarily cruel, but this is what it is. I have visited in the past and enjoyed myself. Nonetheless, I certainly won't be coming back.
