Such a cute and intimate Mediterranean spot. I hadn't been to Levantine in a while and I'm so happy I passed by and decided to grab dinner. The food is so good! Incredible flavors, some of the best hummus you'll try in Brooklyn. Though they do have a few chicken dishes, the vegetables truly shine the most. The service was also perfect. They have a very kind and attentive staff. I certainly won't let that much time pass before I go back!
Yummy yummy! Such a cute small spot but the food and drink options are so yummy. We arrived at 5:30pm on a Friday and it wasn't busy but once it hit 6:30pm it was packed. Make a resi if possible! Good service, and cute environment.
I came here as I was in Williamsburg and it was in the vicinity of where I was located. From the outside looking in this restaurant looks fairly small, but once inside there's an open kitchen with indoor seating and outdoor seating in the back which is covered up and heated during the winter months. I got seated in the back and there were many available seats. There's a qr code to scan on each table with the menu. Just know that this restaurant will charge you a 3% surcharge for using your credit card. Anyways from the menu, I ordered the Hummus Garlic that came with two pitas. The Lamb Kebabs with Tzaziki Sauce which was a great combination. A Chicken Shawarma with Israeli salad and last but not least the home sweet home with the Israeli Salad and Persian rice. I enjoyed everything, but the chicken could've used a bit more pepper and flavoring. Portion size for everything was great.
Levantine brings the spice! Petite Graham Ave spot with big flavor! The lunch special is a deal & sooo delicious. Ate: Stuffed pita with cauliflower Lentil soup Total $15 Wow!! The lentil soup with chickpeas was sooo tasty and the cauliflower was so freaking delicious. Bursting with Middle Eastern flavors on a fresh pita. I did get to try the baklava and those were delectable. Definitely, back for more.
Very small restaurant, happy to support Israeli restaurant during this tough time. The food was good, I had schnitzel (bread chicken) meal I was happy with the rice and Israeli salad. My bf had the harissa marinated salmon and was pleased. They have their own version of sweet potato latkes which was a fun twist on the original. My bf also had some tequila drink he was very pleased with. I feel the menu could have offered more authentic dishes but I appreciate them catering to American palate as well. I would go back. It's a cozy place, dimmed lights and designed for you to enjoy conversations with who you are dining with. Very low music which helps a lot
Solid choice for middle eastern Mediterranean cuisine! Came here for brunch this Saturday noon with a party of five, we made reservations in advance though when we arrived the restaurant was only about 40% full at 3-4 tables in the back patio/greenhouse area. The front area of the restaurant is pretty narrow, with seating for about a dozen people, followed by the bar and a narrow walkway to the back patio. The back area sits about 20 people, though the walking area can be a bit snug in between tables esp for strollers or wheelchairs. The lighting hung from the ceiling creates a very warm atmosphere in the front of house and the greenery in the back adds a comfortable garden feel. On a brisk fall day (40's outside), the back patio was nice and toasty. I had the shashuka and some of the chicken shwarma plate, both hearty and flavorful, a great start (or mid-day meal really). The eggs in the shashuka were perfectly cooked with runny yolks and delicious with the fresh, warm and fluffy pitas. I think this may be my favorite pita bread ever, though to be fair I'm no expert in middle eastern food. Chicken schwarma was herby and vibrant, and the Persian rice we selected for the side was chock full of parsley/cilantro, for a fragrant, green bite. Highly recommend both items and I was quite curious about some of the other brunch items too. Service was efficient and friendly and we enjoyed our meal!
We decided to sit down this time and it's so cozy and welcoming, I loved the atmosphere of how small and cute this place is! We discovered towards the end there is a bunch of seating in the back! Everything we got was really good! My favorite was the siniya! It's such a simple yet feel good dish to make you feel warm inside! The pita and Classico hummus was creamy and the pita was super fluffy. Fatush salad is always good in my books and this place did it decent, with the amazing feta and chickpeas being the star of the dish! The service was noticeably amazing, all of the workers were extremely kind and personable!
Went to Hummus Market for dinner with a friend. The space was super cozy and close to the subway stop which was helpful bc it was pouring rain that day! The food was sooo delicious. We got the hummus trio with regular hummus, tahini hummus, and garlic hummus. I especially loved the garlic hummus. My friend got the chicken shawarma with rice and I got the salad and added chicken shawarma to it. The servers were very nice but my only complaint was that the food took awhile to arrive. I suspect that the server forgot to put our order in at first, which is why after we had already been waiting about 15 min, he came back to confirm what our order was. Our food then took maybe 30 more minutes to arrive. This was a bummer but I'm hoping that it was just an off night/situation. I would definitely still return.
The Mediterranean diet has received much attention as a healthy dietary lifestyle. Williamsburg has caught up with this ideal, as there is certainly no shortage of this cuisine here. Levantine, formerly known as the Hummus Market, is very underrated. I am wary that my next statement is an eyebrow-raiser, but it has become my favorite Israeli restaurant in the Williamsburg and Greenpoint area. I have been there twice in the past two weeks, which is very telling, as I don't usually double dip (unless it's their labneh and hummus...lol) restaurants so soon. Heads up, Happy Hour is M-F (3-7 PM), with ALL cocktails for $10 and select white/red wines for $10 as well Their margarita was okay to me- if you're going to opt for a tequila drink I would be biased towards their Summer Tel Aviv-- I thoroughly enjoyed it (a smooth and zesty tequila, watermelon, egg white, think a "tequila sour) Their PITA (served with two when hummus is ordered or $2 for 2 on the side) is the perfect marriage of fluffy and thick and is quite honestly the best pita I have ever eaten (my boyfriend makes topnotch pita, but unfortunately, he has not topped Levantine's notch yet). Both visits I paired the pita with their GARLIC HUMMUS ($14): with melt-in-your-mouth garlic confit topped with cilantro garnish. After having this confit, it has been reaffirmed that garlic is my favorite type of breath freshener! Both times I opted for a mezze adventure ($8 each, 3 for $21, or 4 for $26). Here is the culmination of both adventures: MOROCCAN CARROTS LABNEH ISRAELI SALAD FALAFEL *Moroccan carrots were stellar, somehow they have managed to fine tune balancing spicy with refreshing *Labneh was smooth, tangy, addicting, please get! I have also tried their app, SWEET POTATO LATKES ($14) *The latkes were different from traditional, in that sweet potatoes were used, but it offered another layer of flavor atop the layer of yogurt chive dip. I would definitely give these an order! For entrees, I have tried: 1) CHICKEN SHAWARMA ($25): Savory but not overly salted, doused with tahini with a choice of pita, Israeli salad, or rice. Opted for salad to balance out the 4 total pitas ordered to the table. Would recommend this order! 2) SHORT RIB TAGINE ($29): Slow cooked with maple over a bed of couscous. Would also recommend this entree! It was so tender and the perfect match of spice and sweet (try to avoid the spicy peppers sprinkled throughout the meat). As you can probably tell, I am a huge fan of Levantine. Luckily for me, it is in my neighborhood. Hopefully you can come venture out soon! Afterall, the Mediterranean diet is healthy for you, right?
We were looking for Israeli food for my dad's birthday dinner. We got a table for 8 and were sat in the back room. It was pretty tight in there. While our waiter was nice, the restaurant was super full and I don't think it could handle all the groups of people well. We each ordered drinks and the drinks didn't come out when we got our appetizers. Waited even longer for them. For appetizers, we shared a bunch of dishes. The hummus really is delicious and the warm pita bread is great. We asked for more pita but unfortunately the pita was brought out when we got our main dishes and we no longer needed it. The restaurant forgot my chicken schnitzel dish so I just shared the burger with my husband. They also ran out of fries for the night and it was only 730pm.. the restaurant has lots of potential but needs to figure out a better system for food and service. They were super apologetic and did comp the pita bread and dessert for my dads birthday. The babka dessert is absolutely a delicious chocolate heaven!

Everything about this restaurant is phenomenal. From the service to the decor - it's such a chill spot to get away from hustle and bustle. The food is absolutely amazing. Try to hummus. Got the garlic. It was perfect with the olive oil and fresh pits. The branzino with spicy tomato salad and tzatziki was just perfect for a warm spring dinner. Can't wait to try the restaurant next door. read more

Me and my best friend ate here before we saw a show last month at Brooklyn Steel and we had an amazing time! Not only was it super convenient to walk over to the venue after we were finished, the food and service was perfect. The staff was incredibly friendly, personable and gave great recommendations! The food was also exceptional and we went during their happy hour so it was very affordable for the amount of food we got! A must try for the next time you are in the area or catching a show at Brooklyn Steel! read more

The garlic hummus is amazing here: very creamy, strong garlic flavor. I honestly would come back just for that. The watermelon salad is interesting, a lot more savoury than other restaurant's. The other two dishes are meh. The restaurant is quite small, so recommend you have a reservation. read more
The food here was amazing, the service was great and the restaurant was cozy and spacious. My favorite dish was the Cauliflower Nuggets it was so crispy and the flavor and sauce was amazing. Take some of the pita bread and dip it into the cauliflower nugget sauce you won't regret it! read more
What an awesome hidden gem!! The backyard patio is such a treat! It's very well temperature controlled, nice and cold in the hot summer, and has a lot of seating options and natural sunlight. The service is always friendly and fast, and the food is truly excellent. We've been like 4 times and have tried new dishes every time and everything has been excellent - my bf lived in Israel so he is very choosy about certain dishes and this place lives up to his expectations! If you can you should not miss this place! read more
This is a really great place! The food tastes amazing and the pita is to die for, it is the softest and fluffiest pita I've ever had. The vibe was amazing, cute and small area with beautiful music. Our waitress was also friendly and attentive. Shakshuka tasted great, perfectly stewed and 2 over easy eggs + 2 pitas (choice of whole wheat or white). Portion was a little small. The hummus combo had unique flavors (garlic, mushroom, and tahini) and tasted so creamy and fresh. It also came with 2 pita breads. I couldn't stop eating it. The cigars were so tasty but I think a little over priced for only 3 of them. ($16) The mulled wine was presented well and tasted like a typical mulled wine. And the milk & honey was kind of like a spiked latte (warm and very milky with a rich, earthy taste because of the star of anise) and came in a small espresso cup. Overall- amazing place to go with friends or on a date for great good. A little expensive though! read more
Coming from someone who has tasted many hummusim and many of them in israel, this hummus is fantastic. Highly highly recommend the falafel hummus, it comes with two heavenly fluffy pita (both regular and whole wheat are good). I don't know what special ingredient they put in this dish vs other hummus places but it works. I also got the shakshuka, which was good with a nice kick (my only minor suggestion is to cook the egg a little longer, as the whites were a bit runny). Jonathan, our server, was super friendly. There is also a great backyard in the back with some heating. Again, don't miss this hummus if you're passing by. read more

Really good food and great service! Nice ambiance in the backyard. We love the persian rice and the steak read more
I had passed by this place and always thought it was very cute. I decided to come in one day and the food did not match up to the vibes. My boyfriend's meal was very basic and small for the price, as well as super salty. I got the siniya and although the ingredients sounded like they would be great together it ended up super bland with spice that didn't enhance the flavor at all. I wouldn't come back here. The quality is not worth the price. read more
Levantine did not disappoint! My husband and I had an awesome dinner. The botz martini was awesome, nice twist on an espresso martini. The martini was nicely frothed and tart. For dinner we enjoyed the falafel hummus, the cauliflower nuggets, and the Sephardic the Ashkenazi. The nuggets were an instant fave! Everything was flavorful and great for sharing. The pita was soft. The challah was sweet and toasted. The restaurant service was attentive, and the decor is inviting. A great date night spot! read more

The hummus here is INCREDIBLE!! Thoughtfully named Hummus Market. Just happened upon this place, I needed a snack so we got some hummus to go. I can't remember if we got 1 or 2 pita breads but I do remember the bread was hot & fresh. I will always stop by this place when I'm in the area. read more
