Iraqi veggie patties
Mandy K.

Loved the food!! We tried the iraqi veggie patties and the sabich pita sandwich (which also has the veggie patties). Really impressed with the patties as they were packed with herbs giving them so much flavor. Drizzled with tahini and combined with eggplants hmm so yum. The pita sandwich was very filling and had lots of variety of veggies. Highly recommend this place!

a variety of food in a buffet

I've been rendered dumb by flavor. I ordered the salmon in my effort to remain close to a healthy diet (pay NO attention to the burger behind the curtain). But it was when I got to the roasted vegetables WITH the salmon over the bed of rice... Y'all. Y'ALL. As I write this I'm tearing up with emotion. I'm also trying to figure out how I can get them to move in. Of course I understand the concept of delivery but why deliver when they can just live with me and make this 100% of the time. It is all meal good. Breakfast...yep. Lunch...yep. Snack...yep. Dinner...yep. So yummy.

Moussaka
Loren M.

This is a Hidden Gem in the neighborhoods of Brooklyn New York. I stopped here for lunch while on business and had the moussaka. Everything tasted excellent. The spices we're just perfect giving me a taste that I have never had before. The rice with cooked so perfectly leaving all of the grains of rice separated in fluffy. The potatoes were buttery and fluffy and had an excellent taste. The service was wonderful and fast considering some of the food they cook to order. This will be one of my regular stops when I come to New York. I would strongly recommend if you are in the Brooklyn area to find this restaurant on Google and have a meal. The atmosphere is awesome and the only thing you're missing in this review is the smell and taste that were amazing.

Pink undercooked meatballs.
Esther C.

I have heard such great reviews about this place. So when I arrived to New York I came by with my friends, from the moment we walked in there was major attitude from the cashier/server. We ordered Mafrum, 2 meatballs over rice and hummus, 2 sodas $75.00 - ridiculous! Food: Mafrum; came 40 minutes after ordering - so had to take it to go - and my friend got a really bad stomach ache from it. Meatballs; were pink inside because undercooked! I asked the lady nicely if that's the way it's supposed to be and she answered me very rudely and defensively said I'll change it for you but that's the way it's cooked...wtf? So that went to waste! Hummus: had a very weird taste. The lady came by with the pita later on asking if we still want it, well duh, how are we supposed to eat the hummus? We did not receive any side pickeled salads or schug.....! As I was exiting the place the lady said "oh so u didn't like the food!?" Really? Did you not see that!? I told you it was not cooked - those meatballs were 100% not cooked! Overall. Horrible service, overrated menu. One star because it doesn't have an option of no stars. Save your self the time and money, and go elsewhere.

If you are in the neighborhood I would say, these smash burger are a good option for you…read more Ambiance: Came here in the afternoon, and the vibe was relaxed with nice music in the background and a lot of seatings. Food: Smash burger are great, they are not the best but I would rank it as top 5 in the city. I was pretty surprised how they charge for cheese (the place is mostly Kosher, and the Cheese of I remember is vegan) which contradict the concept of smash burgers. The fries were overly cooked if not almost burned, so I couldnt eat half of the basket. Service: ordering regular fries and getting trufle fries just to charge me extra is not a nice move. But having those popcorn and water cup made up for it little bit. If I knew I would be charged that much (burger + fries) I would have chosen from the lunch special menu

Wanted to like this place more but it missed the mark. This is really a 3.5 star review…read more I went on a weekday around 12:30 and it was completely empty. I was told to take a menu from the counter and that I could have a seat. Tried to order a mint lemonade but they didn't have any mint. OK so I ordered a strawberry basil iced tea, which was refreshing, but didn't really have much flavor in my opinion. When I looked at the menu, they had a lot of different burger options but I settled for a Smashburger that was shown on a summer menu. However, I then watched the waiter offer two groups who came after me a lunch special menu that was not offered or mentioned to me. Had I known there were lunch specials, I would've checked them out to see if I wanted to order. So I was a little upset that these were offered to everyone except me. In terms of the actual burger, I found the patties to be way too thin, even for a smash burger. To me it left the burger, feeling kind of skimp and not fulfilling at all. I also ordered fries which were honestly the star of the show. Lastly, I didn't feel like the service was up to par. There was a large table in front of a door and the waiter kept yelling to people to not sit at the table because he needed to access the door. My question is, why place a table in a spot that you know you need to be able to go in and out of? And then on top of that when he gave me the bill, it said one price, however, after I paid and a receipt was brought to me to sign it, had a different price. What I think happened is he did not add the drink the first time and I didn't notice, but I feel like when this happened you should just say to the customer that you forgot to add something and here's a new receipt. There was also an automatic 15% gratuity, which I wasn't fond of. I spent $40 for a lunch that I barely liked. Way too overpriced and not worth the visit imo.

Get out of your food comfort zone folks and get into Grüit! No more funky food mishaps, ok the…read moreservice needs a little help but that part is always a work in progress, but I digress. Chef Erick, formerly of Boru Boru and other high Michelin star rated spots, is the executive chef here now and doing what he does best to make this gastropub a huge success. Dishes you'll be familiar with but with a slight twist in a good way is the name of the game here. The vibe is upbeat, staff is friendly and the food is on point. This night we had the caramelized medjool dates with chunks of crispy beef bacon, pickled red onions with a drizzle of aioli that but thru the sweet and have it a nice balance. Their signature burger is ultra juicy bf flavorful, even if you must get it well done ;), the Duck pastrami was really tender and had all the flavors of what a traditional pastrami would have. Their charcuterie board was phenomenal and chef said he'd be updating it from time to time with new additions as well. And I'm physical obsessed with their pickled veggies jar!! Loved their olive oil cake served with an in season persimmon and kumquat coulis, almost like a short cake and the sweet and tart of the fruit coulis complimented really well. So get your GNO, BNO, birthday, date night, family celebration going here! It's a fun night out with great food, beautiful ambiance and upgrade energy! Oh and they will hold your table 20 min past your reservation time, DO NOT BE LATER THAN THAT because there is a ton of walk ins and they will give your table up to one of the many hungry patrons waiting. Which I do very much appreciate that they stick to that rule.
