My girlfriends and I came here for brunch and loved every plate we tried! It does get super busy and they do not take reservations currently, so come early (before noon) to avoid a long line. My favorite dish was the Burekas - puffed pastry pocket stuffed with feta & olives, served with two eggs (any style), labneh cheese, Israeli salad & tahini sauce. The spritzer was also super refreshing to drink! I recommend getting a few plates so you can try all that this place has to offer!

Miriam - Wine Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I used to be a faithful customer of this restaurant until October 16th when I noticed that each item that I ordered that day was $2 more than the same order a few days prior. I immediately called to complain and was told by the onsite manager to email them so I did. My first email said this and included photos and videos of the food: "Hello, I just got off my he phone with the gentleman who is in charge this morning but not the manager and I voiced this complaint to him and he suggested that I email you all. Basically my roommates Michelle and I have been ordering from you guys about once a week for a good year or so via Uber Eats. This morning's order each item is $2 more. I left a note for each item noting that unless there were bigger portion sizes when my order is delivered in a bit - more bacon for the extra $2, bigger homemade granola for the extra $2, and more pieces of French toast in order for the extra $2. I understand your supply chain may have gone up or whatever but in every area of life whether it's rent, utilities going up, gas going up, interests rates, grocery bills, and now you guys - the cost is always shifting to us when our salaries aren't going up to keep up with inflation. Ordering from you guys this morning was my last straw so I had to call and voice my concerns. This just really annoyed me when k placed the order today because consumers cannot catch a break no matter where we turn. I love you guys food but if this price hike remains especially with the same portion sizes, I'll be forced to no longer patronize your place and that's a shame. Just food for thought.... pun intended. Your neighbors and customers, Tiffini and Michelle" The response that I received days later was this: "Dear Tiffini, We wanted to first start off by saying thank you so much for being a loyal customer of Miriam BK! We are so excited to know that you love the food so much to come back weekly! I wanted to take the time to address your concerns stated in your above emails about increase in food pricing. Miriam BK has been around for 18 years and has always strived to keep our prices competitive and inviting for the neighborhood that we are based in, that being said that for past two years we have maintained level pricing even while everyone around us was raising pricing. Unfortunately, with the increase in food cost as well as labor and other expenses to our restaurant, we have found it necessary to increase our prices to reflect the bottom line we are occurring. We do hope you understand the need to keep cost in line with expenses in order to remain open for all of Park Slope. We do hope to have you dine with us in the near future! Going forward please expect the portion size you received today, as that is our typical size. Thank you very much for providing your feedback as we best try to provide the best experience and food! " Then two months later i broke down and ordered again (Dec 17th) and this is where my next biggest complaint comes in. I was told that the price increase would remain but and I quote, "Going forward please expect the portion size you received today, as that is our typical size. Thank you very much for providing your feedback as we best try to provide the best experience and food!" but my order on December 17th portion sizes on each item i order was now SMALLER than the original portion. So now I'm paying $2 more for each item and getting LESS FOOD! How is this fair??? If you're going to charge more at least serve the same portion sizes and be nicer to your loyal customers when they do issue a complaint instead of ignoring them. This has been bugging since October and since my last complaint in December so I felt compelled to write an official public complaint/review. read more

I love this place. It's been around forever! I loved coming here when I lived in BK and recently gathered friends for some holiday shopping. It's authentic, welcoming, and delicious but you need to put in your name and come back in an hour (if you are lucky). We snagged some seats at bar after 30min. We still had another 40mins to go for a table. We toasted with Bellinis and hard ginger kombucha (tasted like a cider & similar alcohol content). We opted for classic shakshuka, mushroom omelette, and Israel breakfast. We were all happy with our choices. It's worth a visit if you are in neighborhood but have a plan so you aren't surprised by the wait. read more

This place was so yummy wow!! Our waiter was super friendly, brunch was packed but we only waited about 10 mins for a table. The Shakshouka was bursting with flavors, I really wanted their green option but they were sold out, so def returning to try that one, the bread was freshly baked, the dips were delicious. the seasoned eggs, the challah French toast, the roasted potatoes, the Israeli salad, everything was bursting with flavor. Our waiter was also super friendly and attentive despite of the brunch rush read more

My friend and I came here for brunch a few weeks ago. We got there around 1:30pm on a Sunday and were able to get a table for 2 outside (without a wait) to enjoy the good weather. We shared a side of the potato pancake and it was so good. (Might get one for myself next time!) We also both got the Norwegian eggs Benedict, which sounded especially appealing because it was served on zucchini cake. The salmon was fresh and I enjoyed it a lot with the zucchini cake. Definitely coming back! Taste | 4 Atmosphere | 4 Presentation | 4 Service | 3 OVERALL | 4 read more

Now that brunch is starting to come back into our lives, if you're ever in the area, check out MIriam for your fix of Mediterranean brunch. Their Green Shakshuka is a must-try if you like that tangy taste of tomatillo! And if not, there's always the regular tomato-based Shaksuka or a variety of other tasty dishes. I love that most of the dishes are pretty healthy and ingredients are all very fresh. I've definitely got to say that they've done a pretty awesome job with their outdoor dining booths and while you'll find a bit of a wait on weekends, it's totally worth it! The line moves pretty quickly and there is also lots of space available indoors if you are open to it. read more

Came here without reservations and was seated immediately. The place is very hip and waiters were all nice and attending. The food was delicious! The shrimp wrapped in kadaif is absolutely the best shrimp I've had. 4 pcs come per serving we had to get another order that's how good it was. I got the fish and hubby got the petite filet mignon. The fish was really good so was the filet it just had an Asian fusion to it which was surprising I guess. We will definitely come back again. read more

My friend and I came on a Saturday afternoon just before brunch time was over and the kitchen would transition over to dinner. There was both indoor and outdoor seating available; we choose to dine outdoors as there were heaters and we wouldn't get cold. The outdoor dining was also very quaint with flowers hanging from above. After being seated, we looked at the menu and ordered the lamb shawarma and the falafel platter. Both dishes looked pretty big in the pictures so we decided to share it when it came out. When the dishes came out, they were indeed a big portion so we were able to share everything and after finishing we were both very full. The lamb shawarma was well seasoned and the falafel platter was very refreshing form the falafels to the hummus and salad. If we had ordered anything else, we would have needed to take it back home. Overall, I would definitely come back if I am in the area to try other dishes they offer and try their dinner menu! read more

It's more like 3.5 stars for me, mainly because I didn't really enjoy my Green Shakshuka which felt like I was eating green peppers with every bite. Probably should have guessed with the ingredients on the menu but it's my first time trying and now I've fulfilled my curiosity and would probably never order it again. My friends ordered the Norwegian Eggs and Burekas which looked much more appetizing and was tastier. I preferably liked the Burekas more because of the creamy Labneh cheese which wasn't too heavy. They all cost $18 flat which I suppose is an average price range for weekend brunch. We went here for lunch at nearly 2 pm on a Sunday and even though it was drizzling, all tables, indoors and out, were nearly full. The slight con is we were seated upwards the slope so our tables were kind of slanted downwards but by some can't-explain-physics-gravity, luckily none of our stuff fell off the table. The chairs made me feel kind of cramp as we could only place our bags on our lap with no other space to set them down. There was a small speaker directly above our heads that played music throughout but it wasn't unbearably loud. Would I come back here? Probably not, but it was a nice experience for trying Mediterranean food for the first time. read more

Always a line outside to get in as you can't make reservations but glad we finally just committed to lining up and going. Food was really good, nice to have brunch options that's not your basic egg dishes. And the portions are huge. The potato pancake was phenomenal. Def would come back to try something else\ I had two glasses of Prosecco and they were both flat which was unfortunate but def worth checking out. read more

Great place for brunch. The place is quite popular so best get here earlier. Indoor dining was already pretty full at 11:30. You'll probably have better luck with outdoor seating which did have heating so it doesn't seem too bad. I got the shakshuka that came with 1 pita which wasn't really enough for the amount of stuff it came with. I would suggest getting another order of pita(comes with 2). If you have too much pita you can always steal some food from your friends to use the rest! read more

Such a lovely spot for brunch! My first time having shakshuka so I'm definitely no expert but the green shakshuka was quite tasty. My only complaint is that the shakshuka was a tad salty and had to be eaten with the pita, but there wasn't enough pita for the amount of shakshuka. Portions were good and filling. My friend also got the potato pancakes which were quite good as well. Service was a tad slow but that mightve been because we came when the doors opened at 10 on a Monday. Overall a great spot and it's inspired me to try more Israeli breakfast spots! P.S. if any employees see this review, I think you might be overwatering your plants read more

Awesome menu. I'm Lebanese and enjoyed all the great middle eastern flavors. Try their brunch!

This place is AMAZING. I rarely venture out to Brooklyn but I would definitely make the trip just for this place. I got the Mediterranean Cripsy Dough for brunch and omg am I glad I did. The crispy dough was perfect. The eggs were delicious and well seasoned but not overly so. The sauces on the side were different but not unpleasant. I especially enjoyed the red/pinkish one which was a fresh Tomatoe base but mixed with some other kind of ingredient. This place gets crowded so definitely make a reservation! Service is a little slow. read more

Had high expectations because of all the great reviews but it was a bit of a letdown. A lot of the food was pretty bland. The star of the show was the kadaif wrapped shrimp. The sauce it came in was delicious and had a little spicy kick. The rest of the food was just alright especially for the price. You can get much better chicken shawarma for less in bay ridge. Outdoor seating is heated and tables had their own separate "rooms" which was nice but it's still a bit chilly in the cold weather. read more

Enjoyed brunch at Miriam on Saturday morning. A nice selection of fresh and tasty items, it a brunch that is filling yet does not feel too unhealthy. Quality: Miriam has a flavorful food and beautiful brunch presentation. Each dish looks gorgeous, and while no singular item was life-changing everything was very tasty. I started with the Shakshuka, which comes with hummus on the side. The dish was nourishing and worked well once the poached egg was spilling out yolk. The Burekas, which came with a platter around them were also very good. The green tahini was the magic that pulled everything together, but the Burekas were absolutely the star. My meal ended with the Potato Pancake ordered as a side, a little sweetness to wrap up. Quantity: Lots of lighter items, but enough pastries, pita, and potato to fill you up. Value: $18 for the Shakshuka. $18 for the Burekas. $8 for a Side Potato Pancake. Ambiance: Miriam is a Mediterranean brunch spot in Park Slope. While they have dinner throughout the week, brunch is the big meal. They have a fairly large space, as well as an expansion next door. They also have two outdoor shelters, neither in use on a cold winter weekend. The space is bright and airy with some plants and a few pieces of decor. There is a bar with seating, but most of the space is filled with tables. Music played very quietly in the background. Crowd: Busy for brunch, but never a line on a cold Saturday morning. Service: Great service, very friendly staff. Parking: Limited street parking on the residential streets. read more

Came here a for chill brunch for my friend's birthday. Service was great, they were quick and on top of getting everything to you without feeling super rushed. It was the weekend and they were pretty busy but we were still able to get seated quickly without a reservation, but everyone in the party had to be there before we could be seated. the food was pretty and delicious and the iced coffee was one of the best I've had at a brunch place! read more

Love a good Mediterranean food spot. This place has all the ambience and good service.

I don't usually like Mediterranean but holy cow that lamb shawarma was so good It was weirdly cinnamony but it somehow worked out so well and that thin crispy bread thing on the top is next level. The calamari and sea bass were ok but that lamb is where it's at! Though I have to say that a major downside to this restaurant is how I had to wait about 1.5 hours for even the appetizer to come... read more

Great location--close enough to Barclays to be convenient, but far enough that you feel in the neighborhood. We shared some small plates and dips which were all tasty, not trying to do too much, just well prepared food. The cocktail/mocktail list is extensive. Aside from a bit of a wait to get our drinks, service was very good. read more

Love this place! We have been coming here for years. It's our little secret (not so secret) neighborhood spot for date nights and girlfriends night. The food is unique. There are so many options for appetizers that I usually don't get to the dinner entrees. The desserts are also very interesting. My usuals are the shrimps, hummus, falafels, and a couple of the unusual desserts...they all look very enticing. read more

Came with a friend for a 10:30 brunch on a Monday. It was empty inside and we got to pick out a seat wherever we liked. They have a cute outdoor section, but we chose to sit inside. We started with mint lemonades, which weren't sweet and a good starter. My friend ordered the french toast and I ordered the Israeli breakfast, which came with eggs of my choice (I chose sunny side up), eggs, labneh, and a tomato and cucumber salad. It came with one pita bread, which I wished I had one more after running out the first one. Interior decor is cute, lots of Turkish-style lamps. I'd definitely go back for brunch if I was in the area, and my friend agreed with this notion. read more

My mother makes all these same dishes from scratch at home so I am a bit bias but overall it was delicious. The Bourekas have olives in them beware! The Mallouch bread is so fire. If I went back, I'd just order a handful of sides to make my own custom plate. Mercury sausage was good quality meat, May have been halal. It was filled with flavor. If you're feeling naughty I'd get the challah French toast. Saw a couple beside us having it looked incredible. Skip the coffee here, save it for another spot! read more

We have lived walking distance from Miriam for several years. It has been on our list of want to try restaurants for quite some time. Not sure why we waited so long, as we had a lovely and delicious dining experience. The service, waitress, and hostess were all very kind and helpful. We started with the platter of different dips, all great. Along with the homemade pita with Zitar, we could've easily eaten another serving of a pita, but we wanted to save room for our entrées. My husband had the stuffed pepper which he really enjoyed. I had the chicken Shawarma, which was also very good. The sauce was delicious and the chicken, extremely tender while we wanted to try the desserts we were both to full. Which means, we will have to come back! read more

I went for dinner here after work and I thought it was just so so. I had the Mediterranean salad which was just okay. I wish it had more feta in the salad. I also didn't care for the vinaigrette. However I also had the hummus which was delicious. As it's an Israeli restaurant, it would have been nice if music ambience could have played middle eastern music. However they were playing 21 Century contemporary Pop music. read more

A little expensive, but the food here is delicious. I love their fish options as well as their steak, and I can never go wrong ordering the chicken and rice plate. I've been here for brunch as well, and though their options are more limited, their spread of dips is huge and yummy. The restaurant is so cute, and they have a ton of outdoor seating, which is awesome for the summer. A regular spot! read more

Adorable Spot in Park Slope. Sit outside if it's a sunny day as the trees and flowers give it an amazing feel. You can tell a place is good by their hummus which I thought was solid here. We had gotten Shashuka and Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich (why I chose this when there are so many other options is beyond me. I wanted something fried). Both were tasty. The bread was a little tough on the sandwich but that presentation is unbeatable. Service was a little slow- 40 min to get our food. But I do sympathize as there were quite a few patrons on the sunny day. Overall a very solid choice for Park Slope area. It's a little pricey for what it delivers but again, welcome to Park Slope. read more

Miriam does simple food well and they run a tight brunch ship. If you, like me, think brunch is lame and want something a little more substantive or inspiring other than eggs and buttered starch for breakfast, you'll be pleased to know that Miriam does offer some real food during weekend lunch hours, like soups, salads, sandwiches, and schnitzels. I got the yellow split pea soup, which was the soup of the day, and the Greek salad that had feta and wrapped grape leaves. The split pea soup was smoky and savory in all the right ways and now I want that recipe! They have a lot of different types of seating, and some spots have heat lamps. Come before 11 since the lines get crazy otherwise. read more

Overall, very delicious! We tried a bunch of things and each was very flavorful and well done. The servings were kind of small for the price, but I'm ok swapping quality for quantity. My only disappointment was with their ONE vegetarian option for a main dinner dish - a plate of mushroom and asparagus?! For $18. That's definitely not a meal/main dish, and super frustrating that non-vegetarians assume that all vegetarians like mushrooms and don't care about protein! Even if they added their falafel platter (offered for brunch) to their dinner menu, it would be another option. Anyway, their brunch menu looks more vegetarian friendly so I'll try that soon! read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere and decor. Service was not very attentive but it was friendly. Lots of items for brunch which is served until 4:00 p.m. Some dishes seem a bit pricey... but $70 for lunch for two seems high. But I'd still come back; it was just a more than I expected. $10 for a latte and $12 for an (admittedly large) bowl of vegetable soup. I'm not a resident of NYC, though, so maybe this is normal these days. Beautiful presentation. Recommended. read more

Amazing social distancing practice friendly Israeli spot for brunch or dinner! I was very impressed with their outdoor seating; they created mini-rooms for parties of up to 4 separated from the rest of the crowd. I enjoyed the private yet also crowded nature of these seats. When it comes to the dishes, I was wowed by some while not that impressed with others, but regardless enjoyed the full dining experience. The standout dishes for me were the chicken schnitzel and the grilled branzino. The schnitzel was perfectly deep fried yet soft on the inside. I got two large schnitzel patties enough to fill two stomachs along with a large serving of smooth mashed potatoes and a cold side salad of broccoli and pomegranate. The cured lemon vinaigrette to dip the schnitzel in was an added plus! Similarly the branzino was light and airy, melting in your mouth at each bite. It came on a bed of snow pea salad and fluffy basmati rice, perfectly seasoned. We also got 3 mezes (appetizers): hummus, roasted eggplant salad, and falafel, ordered from most to least liked. The mezes were standard affair, yet not really knocking things out of the park. The falafel in particular was a bit too dry. I probably won't go for their mezes next time I visit. Lastly, we got the lamb shawarma. I am generally not a big fan of lamb, so I wasn't a fan of this dish, but I gave it a 100 for presentation. It came inside a baked pita-like dough covered bowl until the server cut through the dough cover. The steam emanated instantly and the lamb inside was so tender and the rice was so fluffy as a result. Overall, a great experience. I can't wait to come back to try more of their entrees. read more
