Deliciously delightful menu with taste in every bite!! We were welcomed by a few servers getting us seated nicely and comfortably. We were offered complimentary freshly baked bread with Zaatar and Olives. You could tell the Zaatar was from Palestine. It tasted authentic. We had Kibbeh & 7 Cheese Flatbread for appetizers. Then we had Zahr Ma Laban, Maklouba & Mixed Grill Plate for our main entrees. And to top off the evening we had Kanafa for dessert. Everything was perfect!!! Will definitely come back for more. Keep it up guys!!!

And omg bread, eat it right away when it's warm. Four of us got all the meats except chicken and seafood. It was all tender, juicy, flavorful and super delicious. A rainy night had the curtains down, but we still enjoyed the view. Classy entrance in the hotel lobby to the elegance terrace like rooftop. Brooklyn in the house fo sho!

Went to Laser Wolf with my wife on one of those depressing rainy Brooklyn days where you question…read moreevery life decision that led you outside. Luckily, unlimited salatim healed us emotionally. We did the prix fixe -- my wife got the steak shishlik, I got the trout. Before the actual entrees even arrived, we were already fighting for survival against wave after wave of hummus, babganush, potatoes, pickled cabbage, olives, Israeli pickles, and endless fresh pita. At one point I'm pretty sure the pita basket respawned automatically like a video game. We also ordered the halloumi which was delicious, but absolutely unnecessary. That cheese showed up like an uninvited cousin to Thanksgiving dinner. Nobody needed it, but somehow we were still happy it came. The drinks at the bar were the real MVPs. Fruity, dangerous, and exactly what you want while staring dramatically out a rainy window pretending you're in an A24 film. The trout was excellent. My wife's steak was slightly over salted, which honestly just gave us an excuse to drink more cocktails. Overall, 10/10 experience. Come hungry, leave bloated, slightly tipsy, and emotionally attached to the pita basket.

I always knew Kfar was here and a good backup, so happy we finally "had the chance" to try it. We got several of their mezze - we loved it all, my personal favorites were the "Baklava" (kind of like a version of Halloumi saganaki?) and the kibbe nayah. After 4 apps, 4 of us split the "grilled meats for 2", and in total it was about the perfect amount of food. The vibe is very cool and trendy, the service was fantastic, and food was every bit as good as Laser Wolf. This place deserves to be a destination!

Orange blossom donuts (8/10 also really good but a little too sweet!)

Solid brunch spot on Atlantic!…read more We came here for brunch on a Sunday and were able to get some seats by the bar. I'd recommend getting a reservation if you want a table. The restaurant is spacious and has a fun vibe Food: we got the omelette, pistachio French toast and labneh! Everything was pretty good, except I think the portion for the labneh was small compared to just getting a main meal! I loved the pistachio French toast and would come back just for that. Service: good service! Price: comparable to other brunch spots in the area

But this is the first two times that I've gone to their "NEW" sit down location' across from the original. The decor is really pretty and it pays homage to Palestine. The staff is great.

This review is for when I dined in back in October. Portions were huge. Staff were extreme friendly, professional and very helpful with everything. Ordered the fried eggplant and didn't really enjoy it, the eggplant skin was not pleasant to eat with the way they fried it. I wouldn't order that again. Also ordered the mansaf since I saw it had good reviews and it looked good. I would give it a 3.5/5 though. The meat was not as tender as I would have liked it to be, I had to eat it with the sauce with every bite. It was definitely a large portion, should be shared. The best tasting dish was the chicken shawarma. 4/5

Unfortunately, because of a slow night, they didn't have their full bar setup, and we're only serving beer and wine. So, I put my Yelp expert hat on and looked up nearby places with mezcal cocktails, and discovered this place. The food and drink menus for this place immediately reminded me of La Shukran and similar restaurants in DC, and I couldn't help but wonder if they were under the same umbrella. Turns out they aren't. They had a fantastic hip hop playlist going for their last hour of the night. Dozens of records were on display on shelves, and the staff were really cool behind the bar. I had the Lavashak sour and the Turkish Delight cocktails... Both had really unique flavors and less common elements like apricot, saffron, pomegranate, pistachio... And my sisters drinks were great too! The food looked delicious, although neither of us were hungry. I would be eager to return and give everything a try. The vibes were nothing short of immaculate!

Soft lighting shows off the stylish bar and furnishings. An attentive and eclectic staff greeted me warmly when I arrived. I was the first to arrive and enjoyed a glass of chenin blanc at the bar. I changed to the Swick, their skin contact orange wine and stayed with that for the duration. It was a fun, surprising wine that augmented my meal. We shared the dip sampler of hummus, muhammara and labne which comes with their superlative Turkish Pide. We all ordered and enjoyed the Ali Nazik Kebap, broiled minced lamb on a searing hot metal skewer that be warned because they didn't say a word about it to us! We also ordered the lamb meshweh which features braised lamb shoulder with sumac onions and pickled slaw on a pita. It was hearty and well seasoned and nothing remained by the end. We were having such a good time I forgot to keep taking pictures! Two orders of the dip sampler, three orders of the lamb entrees and two rounds of drinks came to about $100 a person. Despite slightly scorching our hands we had a great experience. Would cheerfully return!

I feel like the prices here are too expensive to justify the quality. My favorite thing was the babaganoush. Also, the service is not great. It feels like the staff haven't been trained properly. There were times that our waitress seemed lost and didn't know what she was doing. We had to ask other wait staff questions to get proper answers. Also, don't advertise a special menu on Opentable and give people the option to reserve the menu when you aren't offering it. Came here for latkes and caviar for NYE since it said it was on the menu when I reserved on Opentable. Got there and was told they only served it during Hannuka Hanukkah.
