    $23 beef bowl and $17 chicken Shawarma Bowl
    Kseniya K.

    $23 beef bowl and $17 chicken Shawarma Bowl were disappointing. The price did not reflect the quality or the quantity. Tiny bowls with subpar food. Who charges so much for such mediocre food in such small quantity? This is not Manhattan, this is Brooklyn, in the middle of a packed, busy, dirty, loud street. Who came up with such prices? This place is a tiny food & flower shop, but they put out outdoor tables in good weather to make some profit. This hole in a wall should not be charging such prices. Only one overwhelmed waitress was not capable of taking care of a full house of dinners. We got no service. No water. No checking in on anything. She didn't know the menu, so couldn't recommend anything or speak about any of the dishes. So not helpful. Spend your money elsewhere.

    Returned for dinner last weekend and thought it was even better than the brunch we had last time! We really enjoyed the eggplant hummus ($14 - wish it came with one more pita!), the shawarma bowl ($17) and the branzino bowl ($22). Such homey comfort food.

    Get the fish pita too!!

    Food was bussin. Strolled in on a Wednesday night with my husband and we enjoyed a relaxing dinner. The store and restaurant is really cute. Service was busy but that's ok. You have to be patient but food and drinks came out quickly. Not sure what the other review was about but this street is not that busy for NY. We will be back.

    Mushroom Hummus, Babaganoush, Pita Bread Wheat, plus Sycamore Beers
    Lauren M.

    Delicious food and a fun place to browse! The mushroom hummus is my go to favorite. It's warm, savory, and quite filling if you want a light but satisfying meal. I've dined here for an in-person meal, which was mostly enjoyable. Unfortunately there can be many distractions and interruptions to your conversation since Cortelyou is so busy and the fire station is right across the street. I've ordered takeout a few times to bring over to nearby Sycamore Bar, which allows you to bring in food. It's the perfect sized snack/meal that's not your typical greasy bar food fare to accompany my drinks and trivia time while at Sycamore. While you wait for food, browse the imported Mediterranean groceries and selection of craft beers. I guarantee there will also be something surprising to check out and possible bring home!

    Food was okay. Portions were incredibly small for the price. Very disappointing, wouldn't recommend.

    I had to be quick, but it was simply amazing and the service was exquisite. I enjoyed the falafel platter and it came out within about six minutes.

    Hummus home made bread and hard seltzers
    Amanda D.

    I actually made an order through Drizzly, not knowing that this a restaurant. They didn't have one of the hard seltzers I wanted so they actually canceled that part of my order and then threw in 6 random drinks to make up for it. Thought that they were so nice for that! They also threw in a hummus and some homemade savory bread. They were both good but the hummus was delicious!! I had no idea this place was near me, will 100% be ordering food from here next time!

    Kebab Bowl
    Kendall M.

    Not much to say except for don't walk RUN to Mimi's Hummus. One of the best meals I had in a long time. Everything was AMAZING! The service was immaculate and welcoming. The ambiance was cute and quaint. A Cortelyou road gem I know I will return to over and over again.

    Shawarma Pita
    Gentjana H.

    We ordered a couple of things. Started with humus which was good but I would have liked the pita to feel fresher. Also got the shawarma pita, Bronzino pita and beets. All the above were good, the flavor was on point. I would order the shawarma pita next time .. it tasted sooo good . Also was not super expensive.

    Mimi's is a super delicious, cute, and intimate restaurant on Cortelyou. My friend and I had dinner here a couple weeks ago and loved everything! We shared the tabbouleh salad, mushroom hummus with pita, and mujaddara bowl with beet salad. The tabbouleh salad was light and fresh. The mushroom hummus was tasty and actually really filling, especially with the pita bread. The pita here is one of the best I've had! The mujaddara bowl was so interesting and full of flavor. I also absolutely loved the yogurt it was paired with. Although I typically don't love beets on their own, I enjoyed the beet salad and thought it was a refreshing side, especially next to a lentil-based dish. Despite coming in hungry and ordering just a few items, we were both full at the end of the meal and even had leftovers! Taste | 4.5 Atmosphere | 4 Presentation | 4 Service | 4 OVERALL | 4.5

    Pistachio cookies ( pistachio almond flour sugar egg white )

    I found great place with the draft NY beer and tons of interesting items ( healthy ones ) Wow , those cookies were great addition to my coffee. Strongly recommend. Great service and help from Adriane . Will come and visit again soon !

    Iraqi Plate
    Onvara A.

    Good service, good food! I came here for brunch with two friends when they opened on Sunday morning and we were seated right away. We got the Eggplant Shakshuka (Sunny side up eggs, tomato stew, eggplant, and feta, with a side of quinoa tabouli salad) and the Brunch Iraqi Plate (Eggplant, potato, hard boiled egg, cabbage, amba - a mango pickle sauce, and tahini sauce). The grilled eggplant in the Iraqi Plate was the star of the dish. Both dishes came with a piece of pita each. Also, the Turkish Coffee was pretty strong so beware!

    Getting my hummus fix taken care of!

I highly recommend getting an assortment of dips and small plates - 2-3 dishes per person was just right for us. I can't pick a favorite item of the evening: The Israeli Salad Hummus was some of the best/most flavorful hummus I've had, the Whipped Ricotta was perfect and so fluffy, and the Matbucha & Labne are also great additions to the table. They make a really good Falafel here, and the Crispy Cauliflower were perfectly crispy and well-sauced. The Chocolate Babka dessert is a great way to end your meal, and they do make a solid espresso martini for those wondering. The only thing I was not a fan of is their drink menu - all of the cocktails are spicy or smoky. Although you can sub out different alcohols, it would be nice to have a few other options.

The best food here is definitely going to be the local specialty and I was correct! We came as a group of 6- made this reservation a month in advance. They were super patient with us and took our orders pretty quick. The wine selection is magnificent I had such a great orange wine and tried their refreshing rose secco and they paired really well with the seafood. We ordered the tilefish ceviche, the famous sourdough, maitake and yellow oyster mushrooms and grilled corn to start. They each came on their own pace so it was 1 by 1. We got to focus on each dish and share it. It felt like tapas style! Amongst these starters I definitely really loved the ceviche athough my friends felt like it was lackluster. The oyster mushrooms and corn was interesting but not as amazing as the sourdough. We ordered two dishes for this and I felt like it wasn't enough. The ricotta is just so creamy and definitely left me wanting more. For secondary we ordered mackerel toast and the shrimp! These were definitely one of the most memorable and the mackerel was raw which was so fun and interesting play on texture with the cream cheese toast. Definitely something I would like to eat often for breakfast as it's similar to lox but not smokey and just super fresh and neutral. The shrimp was absolute star of the show. I don't have much notes on that other than it was spectacular. The way they grilled it or cooked it was just love! For the mains we shared the half chicken and the tilefish local specialty dish! I think the chicken you can skip but I definitely think the fish was one of the best fish I've eaten recently! I love the tomatoes and way they flavored it. For dessert I know my friend said the chocolate cake was the best but I digress I actually think there's better out there. Instead we also ordered their recommended lemon possett and this one was actually super worth it. I'd recommend this for sure! It's so tart but not too tart and light and airy it's definitely more my vibe. Our total was pretty crazy for a six person group I ended up paying around $80 pp for these dishes. I had a fun time having dinner with friends but we were also rushed out after we finished and it was time to give other people their spots. It definitely feels like you're only going there to eat and not to stay for a long dinner and chat.

Also coated in an anchovy sauce. The turnips/peas? Believe it or not, also in an anchovy sauce. Does Theodora owe money to Big Anchovy, or is there some secret anchovy agenda? Ironically, basically the only thing on the menu without a hidden seafood agenda were the oyster mushrooms. The service was quite attentive at least, well above average even for the price point. However, the drinks were hilariously small (I thought a cocktail at $20 was a decent deal, and then realized it was maybe 4oz of liquid in a lowball glass filled mostly with ice. We sat at the bar, which offered an up-close view of the kitchen and prep: with the smoke billowing from the oven, it was quite an interactive experience.

Service was incredibly warm, and our waiter gave helpful recs when navigating the wine menu, which featured mostly wines from Lebanon. For 2, we got: - baba ghannouj - muhammara - dips come with fresh, fluffy, warm pita - batata hara (crispy, spicy fried potatoes with garlic) - heirloom tomato (with garlic toum and sunflower seeds) - octopus - lamb chops Everything was delicious and extremely flavorful! The heirloom tomatoes were a standout dish: fresh, packed tons of flavor, and I loved how everything went together. The waiter mentioned they're seasonal and will be swapped out for something for the fall season soon. Dips and potatoes were excellent. Octopus was the one weaker spot. The skewer was a bit small and the preparation left the meat a little lackluster and chewy (I'm picky with my octopus!) The lamb chops were very tender with tons of flavor - char, mint, meat. A bit heavy but might just be because I don't eat a ton of red meat. I was VERY full by the end of the meal! I think we could have done 1-2 fewer dishes and still been very satisfied, but I'm glad I got to try so many things. The mains took a while to come out, though I enjoyed the longer, non-rushed, 'let's chat over delicious bites for hours' feeling of the meal overall. Great dining experience. The bill came to about ~$100 per person for the above + a drink (one wine, one mocktail) each. Between the fantastic ambiance, service, and high quality flavors, I found it to be worth the price and great for a treat yourself outing, date, or special occasion.

I asked if there was any way to fix this, and right away, the hostess brought us to another table with a much better view of that magnificent manhattan skyline and river. Then the food. Omg the food. We each ordered our main, after which they bring out an enormous tray of all these lovely nibble salads, pickles, dips, and pita. I don't eat wheat, and haven't my entire life, so I usually don't say anything about it if it seems to me the place doesn't cater to that sort of restriction. The server noticed however, and offered sliced cucumbers for the dips. Such a lovely detail, brava. Did I mention how deeeeeeeelicious everything was? Hubby had the steak shishlika which was perfectly tender and charred at once. I had the chicken shishlika which was good, but not the wow of the steak. Each and every salad, dip, pickle etc was perfectly spiced, cooked, presented. The nuances were just right. Nothing too precious or sideways. Just honest, well built yummy food. And the fries. You MUST get the fries. We ordered the tahini ranch along with the tahini catsup. In my opinion, that wasn't necessary. But if you're a ranch lover, go for it. Then the dessert! Soft serve with a cherry reduction and some kind of flourless chocolate brownie... I don't need to say more. The service was excellent. The food delicious. The view was perfect, though no one celebrated the sun going down like I was told they do. We will go back, with four or more so we can finish all the food.

Lesson learned: if you're going with a group, make sure you have your final number when making the reservation because adding someone later may not be possible. We started with the Mezzi Filistini, a mixed platter of babaganoush, muhammara, tabbouleh, salata, tahini and labneh. This was very good, and we tackled it with zest, devouring it with the accompanying pita bread. We also ordered the falafel, chicken shawarma platter and beef kebab platter. The chicken shawarma was decent, but I would have loved more chicken and bigger pieces. There was considerably more rice than chicken, which made the platter feel a little unbalanced. The beef kebab was better, with a good portion of meat and rice, and the accompanying vegetables weren't too bad either. One disappointment for me was the lack of a proper hot sauce. Something with a little heat and flavor would have paired really well with both the shawarma and kebab and, for me, would have elevated the meal. Overall, the food was good and the ambiance was pleasant. Service was also good for the most part, although I was disappointed that we weren't asked if we were interested in dessert before wrapping up the meal. Al Badawi is probably a place I would try again, but not one I'm in a rush to return to anytime soon.
