Was so excited for this meal, but thought it was just ok. I absolutely LOVED the whipped ricotta, and I really enjoyed the bluefin tuna crudo special. The crispy cauliflower had a great crunch & good flavor, and the crispy salmon was also enjoyable. The short rib kebab had a weird flavor to me / I did not like it at all, and I was nooot a fan of the sweet potato hummus (weirdly cold / dry, flavorless). Service wasn't great. Sadly will not be returning
As a fan of Theodora, I was excited to come to Miss Ada. Surpringly, I liked this even more all because of their dips. On a Friday evening, my friend and I came in as walk-ins and got a spot at the bar. The space is a bit tight, but it works if you don't make a reservation ahead of time. I was pretty hungry, and everything we ordered was more than enough food. To start, we had the Whipped Ricotta ($14), Muhammara ($14), and Chicken Shawarma Hummus ($18). Absolutely loved every dip, which were all different in its own ways that I can't even choose a favorite. The ricotta was a sweet one that gave a nice contrast from the savory spices of the other two. I liked how much chicken they added for the hummus too, so you're getting almost a whole meal. You'll definitely need extra pita for all this, which does fill you up. We did also get a Radicchio Salad ($19) for some greens plus a Beef Kofta Skewer ($20) for some meat. Both of these dishes were solid, but could pass on them next time. Definitely recommend any of the mezze and hummus here; it's all you need. This is a really great date spot or group dinner. Perfect to have a drink or two while enjoying some pita and dips mostly.
I came here with my sister and had dinner the other night. Staff was nice and ambience is casual and intimate. Tuna crudo on the seasonal menu - a bit on the salty side but good. Muhamara - a bit too flavored if that's makes sense? The spices overpower the base flavor a bit . Also it's on the dry side. I like muhamara a little more smoother. Not my favorite muhamara Ricotta - very creamy and smooth, almost like a sweet cream cheese or creamy condensed milk. A bit nostalgic Short ribs - a little sweet, nice balance of flavor profile with the meat, vegetables and hummus. A bit on the spicier side with a kick. Pita is soft and warm very fresh, quite good!! Eat while it's still warm because it does get less good the longer you wait.
I was at this dimly lit and popular restaurant as a late birthday present for one other person a while ago. They describe themselves as Mediterranean, but their menu is more Levantine, with mostly Israeli influences, and the name comes from a Hebrew word as well. This is the sister restaurant to the very difficult to get into but outstanding Theodora. The latter is much better than this place, but their style is very different, so it's harder to compare. The latter specializes in open fire and dry aging thanks to their Josper grill, while this place is more casual with small sharing/mezze style. The person I was with primarily eats vegetarian food, so we stuck with mostly vegetables outside of one of my skewers, and we enjoyed our food overall. The staff was very friendly, and the inside was dimly lit, so pardon the terrible photos. From the small plates, we got the $14 Whipped Ricotta with brown butter, honey, and sage. The ricotta was soft and creamy, but it was a tad sweet. This made it a bit less balanced than the wonderful version at their sister spot, but it was still tasty and went well with their pita. I think a bit of sea salt or a bit less honey would do wonders. From the Hummus Masabaha, or masabacha, we got the Fall Salad for $18, with butternut squash, shiitake, and rosemary. The base is listed as hummus and chickpeas in tahini, with masabacha being a slightly different variant of the usual hummus, as it is a bit runnier, with most chickpeas kept whole. The topping was delicious, with plenty of earthy mushrooms along with the sweet roasted squash. I would recommend this, though they appear to switch it up occasionally with a version topped with Israeli Salad. Most of the other versions are topped with meat, and I would not mind trying their merguez or chicken liver versions. The only small plate we didn't like was the daily special, the $19 Little Gem Salad with pears, grapes, mustard lemon vinaigrette, watercress, and pepitas. The topping was nice with the bit of sweetness from the pears and grapes, but there wasn't that much of it compared to the overabundant lettuce. I found the mustard flavor a bit overpowering, so the overdressed salad wasn't tasty after a while. The remaining savory dishes were two of the skewers. I had the delicious Dry Aged Beef Kofta for $21, with pine nuts, miso tahini, habanero relish, and shallots. Kofta can range in spots, with some being a little bit too dry and not meaty enough. This was the opposite, with the kofta being tender and rich, with the pine nuts adding a nice crunch. Otherwise, there was a bit of spice from the relish, the miso tahini added some umami, and the grilled shallots added another fun texture. This was excellent. I tried a bit of the other person's $19 Halloumi, served with green tahini, peas, husk cherries, and silan. This was also tasty, though definitely a lot less flavored in my dish. The green tahini had a nice, slightly nutty flavor, and I liked that the halloumi had good grill marks. We shared a dessert at the end. This was the reasonably priced and alright Kanafeh, which was $9, with kadaif, lavender, goat cheese, and honey lavender gelato. Kanafeh, along with its 10 other spellings, is one of my favorite Middle Eastern desserts, if not my favorite, so I'm a bit of a kanafeh snob. I liked that it wasn't overly sweet compared to some other places, with a bit of funk from the goat cheese and a unique bit of floral flavor from the lavender. However, the cheese pull lacked slightly, and I prefer the kadaif, or shredded filo, to have a bit more crisp to it. It was still good, and hard to complain at that price point, especially when served with gelato, which added more sweetness and more of that unique floral flavor. While not nearly as good as Theodora, I would still recommend this place. If I were to go back, I would order one of the hummus and probably the same skewer.
I came here on a sunday evening with a reservation and got seated immediately! We were out in the patio area which was cute, but extremely loud. Our waiter was super attentive and helped us out with what to pick from the menu. We ordered 4 dishes to share: Whipped ricotta (10/10) we cleaned the plate it was so good Short rib hummus (8/10) really good with a slightly spicy kick to it Mackerel skewer (9/10) this was a special and had really crispy skin. The Aji sauce was also good! Octopus skewer (9/10) perfectly cooked with a nice crisp! We left stuffed and would absolutely come again
My 2 friends and i came on a Friday night at 915pm and were able to get an outdoor table fairly quickly. They sat my friend who was there by herself before we got there which was nice. We ordered the labne, sweet potato, hummus, short rib with hummus and the half chicken. And that was enough to split between the three of us. We got a second order of pita. And we each got a drink. The total came out to about 50 bucks per person. Definitely a little expensive but very delicious. Our server was amazing.
My friend got a reservation for Sunday brunch and it was bustling when we got there. Friendly staff and no delays in service. We were seated in the back heated patio area. Got to try a variety of plates and enjoyed the merguez the most, but it definitely had a spicy kick to it. Boreka was nice and flaky. French toast felt bit too sweet
First time back since they opened and so glad I did! Brunch was delicious. We had a reservation and were seated right away. They've expanded with outdoor seating in the front and more in the covered backyard. We shared some dips, market salad, three cheese pizza, and chicken schnitzel between three of us and it ended up being more than enough food. Our favorites were the Malawach pizza and Lamb shawarma hummus. Would like yo try dinner next!
Service: 4.7/5 Food: 3.9/5 Price: $40+ Quite a popular choice, we could only get a 5PM resy. I appreciate that the check-in area has heated lamps for these cold winter nights. Deceptively large space, though I didn't get to explore much as we were sat at the front of the restaurant + I didn't venture to the bathroom. We had a super helpful waiter who answered our questions + gave us guidance on how many dishes to order + what portion sizes to expect. Dishes (aside from entrées) come out in quick succession, beginning almost immediately. 20 min in, we already had 1/2 our our order. General consensus of the food: shareable, small portions (think tapas), slightly overpriced (esp skewers), + BOLD flavors (esp the soup). But maybe I'm not appreciating all of the ingredients + craftsmanship. *recommend What I Ordered: - Pita Bread*: warm + fresh, probably, one of the best I've had - Chicken Shawarma Hummus: regular hummus, dry chicken - Fried Cauliflower: not super crispy, tangy sauce - Jerusalem Artichoke Soup: OH MY, so many layered FLAVORS + a growing spice, small + we split, liked the crunchy almonds - Salmon Belly Skewer*: so tender + flavorful, too much labneh plated, keep your pita for this - Kanpachi Crudo*: met expectations, fresh fish - Winter Greens Salad: tart vinaigrette dressing, good contrast to the rest of our meal, sweet figs even in winter - Hanger Steak (medium rare): came out too rare, not sure the cut, probably overpriced
sweet potato hummus ($14) - saw a bunch of people recommend this but i personally didn't really see the hype - it was just sweet potato with a bit of spice mixed with other flavors that i wasnt really fond of - i realized i like my sweet potato just plain and charred instead of something too fancy - it's not bad but im not impressed whipped ricotta ($14) - this was very yummy! I thought it would be quite heavy but when paired with the pita bread it was just right - light and fluffy with a light drizzle of honey made it a great ricotta - however, ive had better ricotta before at theodora lamb shawarma ($20) - i wasn't expecting it to be a dip but it was delicate and delicious anyways - this is probably my fav dish out of all 3 - the dip was strong and smooth; tasted unique but not anything too impressive either - the lamb was super tender but it was quite strong; i dont think people would've been able to handle it if theyve never had lamb before rating: 4/5 - everything we ordered was good and the quality is definitely there so it's a solid 4 but nothing really stood out - ive had better and more innovative dips elsewhere - the vibe is cute though! It's a perfect brunch spot decorated with plants; feels like a cozy little tree house - quick service; nothing to note IG: @nom.noms.only
Came here for bunch on a nyc trip, we wanted to go Theodora but it was closed and this place is owned by the same group --------------------------------- Food: my friend and I split 4 small plates for brunch, we ordered the lamb hummus and whipped ricotta and shakshuka and a egg/pickle sandwich dish, we both really liked the lamb hummus and the whipped ricotta. The whipped ricotta was so unique, it was creamy with hints of rosemary and honey. The lamb was tender and the hummus tasted very fresh Recommendations: whipped ricotta, lamb hummus Affordability: well priced Ambiance: we sat in the outdoor heated patio which was lovely given it was a freezing weekend Service: great! Good for: small plates/shared meals, brunch
so so divine! Located in the heart of Fort Greene lives Miss Ada serving up some delicious bites. Came in for Saturday brunch and had a lovely time! Started with the Harissa Spicy Bloody Mary, and then proceeded to order just about everything. The shukshukah fell a little flat to me, but everything else was really great. Ambiance and energy are very cute for date night, family visit, etc. Will be back for dinner!
Solid overall. I had three small plates, which was a sufficient quantity for one person. The falafel was my favorite - strong notes of garlic and tasty accompaniments of pickled vegetables and harissa. The crispy cauliflower was also very good, with a satisfying crunch and nice sour notes from the amba. The Israeli salad hummus masabacha was nothing special - decent hummus topped with some diced veggies in a light dressing. Every dish was of pretty good quality, but nothing stood out compared to other similar Mediterranean restaurants. The whole meal worked out to $66 with tax and tip, which felt a bit overpriced.
Easy to make a reservation here but if the party is larger than 6, they make you put your order in all at once. We got basically everything on the menu- babaganoush, labne, winter salad hummus, chicken shawarma hummus, chicken skewer, falafel, cauliflower, shakshuka, lots of pita, fish, salmon, ricotta whipped, chicken, lobster, etc. My favorite was definitely the falafel, octopus, the winter salad hummus and the chicken shawarma hummus. We also got orange wine which was delicious!! read more

Oh Miss Ada I wish it never had to end! This place is what dreams are made of! The ambiance, the food, the service it's all incredible. A friend recommended that we dine here and attempted for months to secure a reservation. Thankfully we locked one in. From the moment we approached we were greeted with a smile and shown right to our table a quaint setting in the corner by the window. Here is a run down of what we ordered Olives-Yummy zesty salty delicious Israeli Salad Hummus- this was so fresh and vibrant I ate the entire bowl by myself (no shame) Babaganoush-creamy flavorful The stars: Short rib skewer-so well seasoned tender melts off the skewer (we ordered 2) Branzino was delightful unexpected flavor and lightness herbs and lemon dance together tremendously Dead Sea Cocktail-If you're a mezcal fan you'll love it This is wonderful for a date, a birthday, a dinner with friends or a great drink at the bar. I love this this is close and I can return. Don't hesitate book your reservation! Let me know what you think. read more

Fantastic service, phenomenal flavors, and a cozy ambiance that lends to the experience...chocolate babka is baked in house & it was perfect. read more
There is a reason you need to book two weeks in advance. Soooo good. I got the octopus, kale salad, babaganoush, beet hummus & hanger steak. The kale salad is NEXT LEVEL. You won't regret hanger steak. I wish I had pictures but I ate it all before I realized The beet hummus was better than the babaganoush. Highly, highly recommend. read more
Maybe the best delivery of all time? Miss Ada way exceeded expectations, even admist all the shutdowns and craziness. We ordered the shawarma hummus, babaganoush, chicken schnitzel, and a bottle Da Mar Prosecco. We loved the Prosecco and it was super reasonable at $25. Overall, the meal was pretty pricey for takeout- but so so worth it. Everything was perfect and delicious. I really loved the babaganoush, it was probably one of the best I've ever had! The meal also came with 4 large, fresh, and fluffy pitas that made out meal complete. If you're thinking about ordering from here - definitely do it! It would also be fun to order pickup and enjoy in nearby Fort Greene Park... read more

Amazing food we got for takeout. I'd love to come back to dine in, but if not during covid, we will definitely be back for takeout or delivery soon. The 3 for $25 deal is a great way to try multiple things. The whipped ricotta was my absolute favorite. The brown butter, honey, and sage were an amazing combo (I wish I could eat it every day). The babaganoush was just as good as all the other reviews say - highly recommend. The sweet potato humus wasn't a fav but it was good to try something different. These 3 small plates with the pita were enough to make two of us full for dinner! The lamb shawarma was delicious and a pretty good portion size. The lamb was very tender and flavorful. The hanger steak entrée was hands down the best item we ordered. Cooked medium rare, it was so tender and even after our 15min walk home carrying the takeout, it was still so amazing. One of the best things we've eaten in a long time. All servers were wearing masks from the outdoor dining we could see. Ordering online was very eaay and the website says how long orders should take before you order, and the order confirmation says the time to pick it up. Since our food was slightly (only a few min) delayed, the host offered us frosés while we waited, which was extremely nice. Best takeout experience we've had during covid. Can't wait to come back! read more
After eating here twice I have to Miss Ada props for consistency in both food and drinks. I always leave feeling satisfied. I get the Michelin star. I'd highly recommend ordering dishes tapas style as portions are on the smaller side. The grilled octopus and beef skewer were both great choices. The whipped ricotta tasted rich and paired so well with the accompanying Mediterranean style bread, it's one of my favorites. The Za'atar Crusted Salmon's crispy seasoned skin was very tasty but I preferred the Branzino stuffed with the works (herbs, garlic, lemon etc). Drinks were good, frosé was chilled perfectly for the hot summer day I sat in the back yard. If you like espresso martinis try the "Carajillo" which is espresso + rum based. I'm a fan. There is a strict table time slot they try to keep guests aware of, 90min-2hours average. It can be a little off putting especially in the moment when the vibe is right and you'd like to continue ordering cocktails and having conversation after dinner. Find a more hospitable approach. read more
Really excellent food. Unusual takes on standard Israeli fare, but everything top quality, fresh and delicious. We had the octopus, whipped ricotta, merqueza hummus, fried cauliflower, and the salmon. Every one a winner. Also had chocolate babka for dessert. Yummy. Interesting cocktail choices and some nice wines by the glass. You better make a reservation or you're going to have a very hard time getting a table. My only complaint was that there seemed to be only one waiter for the entire restaurant. I feel like that probably isn't the norm, maybe someone called out sick last minute, but that wasn't ideal. But once order was placed, food came out quickly. Definitely recommend. read more
Make reservations!!! This place was still busy at 9:30pm. Mind you that the kitchen closes at 10pm. My friends and I definitely felt a bit rushed to order everything at once which dampened our experience a bit. Whipped Ricotta: this is soooooooooooo good! The Ricotta is so airy and decadent, savory from the browned butter and sage but also the perfect amount of sweetness to act as a dessert from the honey. It's so good that I ordered one to go as well. Muhamarra: this is the best muhamarra I've ever had. There's so much flavor in this dip. I should've ordered one to bring home as well. Lol next time! Short Rib skewer: They always say you eat with your eye first and when I looked at this, I wasn't impressed. Howeverrrr, all it took was one bite and my eyes shot up and met my friend's. We had the same though and expression. This short rib skewer is delicious! It was juicy and soft and I loved the pickled garnishes on the side that helped cut the grease from the beef but also added a nice tiny kick with that pepper. Beef Tenderloin: This tenderloin was sooooooo soft and cooked perfectly medium rare. I loved it with the miso sauce. The miso sauce was complex in flavor but paired really really well. Octopus appetizer: I was initially excited for this appetizer but sadly it was my least favorite thing we ordered. The octopus itself was very tender and had a nice char on the outside but I found it to be just a bit salty, even with the sauce, we just weren't wow'd by it. Crispy Cauliflower: I really enjoyed the crispy cauliflower. It had a nice crunch and good seasoning but I kind wished it came with some sort of dipping sauce. I'm just a sauce lover and love dipping my food. Lol Chicken thigh skewer: Juicy, hot, tender and well seasoned. I loved the pairing with the tahini sauce. Sorry, I didn't take a picture of this one! At this point I was too immerse in eating. Haha Other items we ordered that I didn't try and are not pictured were the Halloumi skewer, salmon belly, big eye tuna appetizer. From what they told me, they enjoyed them all, the big eye tuna could have been cooked a little less their's was cooked to medium, we all prefer our tuna on the medium rare, slightly rarer side. Would I come back? Oh hell yes. read more

Miss Ada buzzes with activity, drawing eager diners before opening. The inviting ambiance and cozy interior set the stage. Their whipped ricotta and sweet potato hummus, paired with superb pita, steal the spotlight with their soft, tender, and chewy goodness. Yet, the crispy cauliflower, while texturally intriguing, lacks nuanced flavor. The octopus is enjoyable but served in small portions. Desserts disappoint, veering towards odd rather than satisfying. Also, more restrooms are needed; lines form even inside the restaurant and it's actually dangerous since it is in the basement with another employee entrance. read more
My friend snagged a table for Saturday brunch earlier this month. The hype is real, and this is a neighborhood must-try. We shared two hummus masabaha plates - spring salad and lamb shawarma. Both very filling and delicious. I got the Dead Sea cocktail (guava, mezcal, mint, lime and salt), and my friend got two of their lemonades, which I will order for myself the next time I dine here. There is so much energy in the room and is. great place to grab brunch. Fort Greene Park is across the street - perfect for post-brunch relaxing or strolling. read more
I came here around a year ago for dine in, and the food was superb. The restaurant has reopened with outdoor dining recently, so I came here on a Saturday night and got take out. The take out process is seamless and efficient. I ordered online before I arrived. On the receipt, it tells you that your order will be ready in 20 - 25 minutes. When I arrived at Miss Ada, the food was already ready, and I got it in one minute after I got there. I got the three appetizers for $25. These were the whipped ricotta with honey, muhammara, and sweet potato hummus. The sweet potato hummus and whipped ricotta were amazingly delicious, would highly recommend these. The muhammara I didn't like as much, I've had a really good version at another place. I love the food here, and will definitely be coming to eat, and ordering more in future. read more
Miss Ada usually has a full house, and for good reason: the food is fantastic. I've dined here twice for dinner and enjoyed my meal and the exceptional service both times. The food and vibe are both warm and welcoming--this is a great place to gather friends and family for a special dining experience. The menu is perfect for sharing, or for ordering a mix of small plates and mains. The skewers are tasty starters, with the short rib and salmon belly standing out as two of my favorites. I also frequently think about the crispy cauliflower that puts all other attempts to shame! The chicken shawarma hummus masabaha is the perfect compliment to your meal, or can be the main course after a few plates. Drinks are well made and creative, and the wine list has some fun surprises if you're into natural wine. I haven't made room for dessert during my previous visits, but I'm planning to during my next meal here! read more

My husband and I had dinner on Sunday. I booked a table at 8:00pm, but when we showed up half an hour early they were able to give us a seat in the garden as I reserved. We always asked a suggestion to the waiter even though it's very helpful reading the reviews before. We shared the lamb hummus, the whipped ricotta, the kofta kebab and the salmon. My favorite were the whipped ricotta because of the lightness and the combination with the honey and the salmon, very tender and the crust were on the top was something different and tasty. The lamb hummus was also good, the only thing it was the lamb too salty for me. The kofta kebab was just ok, I didn't like the consistence, but the taste was good. Hummus comes with the pita that it's very good, but if you ask more they charge you (2$). Overall, we enjoyed the food. The garden is nice and maybe it's the best part because is less loudly than the inside. Also it's nice the parklet at the front of the restaurant. Our waiter was also friendly and helpful. read more

Food is good but needs consistency, the place gets crowded so I guess they get a bit overwhelmed. Ambiance, is not the fanciest but has character. Most of the wines if not all are natural Wine, I'm not 100% into it but the one we got was good. Love the hummus, and preferred the counter. Keep up the good work. read more

Kicked off my girls trip to New York by having Sunday morning brunch at Miss Ada's and it was perfect. We booked a reservation a couple weeks in advance because it's really hard to get a table here. We sat in their outside patio that's covered and has really nice natural light. The waitress was very attentive and we got our orders in promptly. The service is very quick as well. Our food came out within about 10 minutes of ordering. It's a little on the pricier side but if you order family style then it's very reasonable. With a table of five we split two dips and two entree dishes and it was the perfect amount, but it does look like a small amount of food. You MUST get the whipped ricotta. It was addicting. Once we ran out of pita we began eating it by the spoonful. The French toast was also insanely good. I'm definitely coming back here the next time I visit. read more
food: 4.5/5 miss ada has always been on my list of spots to try but just never got around to. finally after years of living in the neighborhood, i just had brunch here and YUM! the food is soo good! super bright, flavorful and fresh. we ordered the whipped ricotta, babaganoush, sabich, malawach, french toast and choc babka. whipped ricotta: 5/5 light, bright and tasty, served with quartered slices of pita - yum! babaganoush: 5/5 need to rename to bbganoush, cause that's my bb sabich: 5/5 this was presented differently than i've had it before. came as a platter with pickles, cabbage, a halved boiled egg, eggplant and potato (or cauliflower?) with a side of quartered pita. soooo good! malawach: 10/5 more like mala-WOW! i've never had this pancake like dish before. my friend described it as "a scallion pancake w/o the scallions" and i think that's a really accurate description - maybe a cross between a scallion panacake and a parotta. it's topped with this tomato-y red sauce and a green sauce and a halved boiled egg. french toast: 2/5 i didn't enjoy this dish lol but my friend liked it choc babka: 5/5 yum! served warm with a side of tangy yogurt sauce food came out scary fast! i'll def be back here to try din! :) read more

A great brunch experience!! We got the shakshuka, malawach pizza, winter salad hummus (I think), falafel, and regular hummus. Everything was so good!! The shakshuka was delicious (and I am not the biggest fan of tomatoes at all). The Malawach pizza was so perfect -- crispy, crunchy, and the sauces inside perfectly complemented the cheese. I loved pairing this with hummus. Im conflicted about the winter salad hummus -- on one hand, the hummus itself was so delicious, but the vegetables in the hummus made it a lot to eat and experience. I really did not like the onions in the hummus, and thought that the only thing that truly made sense to be in the hummus was the EXTRAORDINARY eggplant. I will literally ask them to just give me hummus and eggplant next tjme. The falafel was perfect, and they were so generous with pita. Service was amazing. Overall, great restaurant, but would recommend coming here for din rather than brunch (the food is honestly really heavy and I think I would have enjoyed it more in the night). Five stars!!! read more

This was my absolute favorite meal in such a long time. Came here with three girlfriends and ordered several items to share. First of all, ambience! It's intimate & cozy, inviting, dimly lit with a view of the kitchen. It warmly says "come inside. good things are here". Even the bathroom located in the basement level carries the cozy attention to detail. The food. Oh my word everything was SO good. From the hummus to babghanoush, and all of the other items that are escaping me right now. Each dish exploded with flavor. The cocktails were delicious and creative. I started with the Lavender Old Fashioned and finished with the cucumber mezcal drink. Everything was so perfect. I'm not huge on dessert and don't quite recall the two we shared, but they were good enough. Can't wait to come back. read more
I came here on a Tuesday night but this restaurant was more popular then than most restaurants on a Friday or Saturday night. The aroma coming out of the building and the sight of many happy eaters made me very excited for the meal ahead of me. We had a reservation for 3 people, but it still took a little while for the table before us to be cleared and is to be led to our seats. Sadly, I think our table would have been better suited for 2 guests as it was a pretty tight squeeze for the 3rd seat right next to another table. When I looked at the menu I didn't see mention of any gluten-free options, but upon asking our waitress, she listed off dishes that can be made more gluten free friendly with the disclaimer that there may still be cross contamination. They provided us crudites as a gluten free alternative to the bread for a small extra fee. The drinks were well crafted, although I was not the biggest fan of the flavors in my Port Said. It's hard to deny that the food tasted great. Even the beets were tasty even though I'm usually not a beet fan. The ricotta with brown butter was so delicious and so was the hummus with shredded meat. The skewers and salmon we ordered were also good, but the price was very steep, especially given the small sized portions. Service was not the most attentive, which makes sense due to how many tables it seemed our server was waiting. When we got the check, everything looked alright but when she split it for us on the terminal I noticed that something didn't add up. Luckily she was friendly about investigating the discrepancy and realized that she has accidentally added two drinks from the table next to us onto our tab. She was able to quickly void the charges and let us pay again. Luckily I caught it, as my friends typically don't double check the math when they sign the bills. Overall, the food was good and I'm glad I came, but I'm not sure if I would come again. read more
We came back to Miss Ada a few weeks ago. We came earlier in evening and was able to grab a table this time. It was a lot more comfortable. We ordered a bunch of enjoyable dips. The sweet potato, the veggie, baba. All were amazingly flavorful and addicting. We also order two short rib skewers and a shawarma hummus which was on the salty side. Everything though is great with the warm pita. I def enjoyed this visit better and love the food here. The staff is pleasant. A table is def the way to go. read more
Quarantine takeout review: Ordered an incredible spread for Friday night, including: - 3 small plates for $25: babaganoush 4.5/5, sweet potato hummus 4.5/5, and muhammara 5/5 - 1 whipped ricotta $10 5/5 (would give this 6/5 stars really, it's - incredible) - salmon belly crudo $14 (4.5/5) -zaatar crusted salmon $25 (3.5/5) - crudités $4 (1/5) - tres leches cake $7 (3/5) We also ordered the Dead Sea cocktails (5/5), they were super delicious and much better than what we were expecting from to-go cocktails. Biggest takeaways: stick with the dips, get all the ricotta, order some extra pita and cocktails and call it a successful night. read more

Phenomal food and drinks are pretty tasty too! Miss Ada offers a wide range of dips and hummus, as well as larger plates (all great to share family style). Can't really go wrong with any of the smaller shareable dips in my opinion, although I thought the labne was the least memorable. I love the sweet honey whipped ricotta and muhamarra and would recommend both. The malawach pizza was interesting to try once, but I think I'll stick with plain when ordering in the future. read more

Omg it was so hard to get a reservation because this place is always packed! This place definitely lived up to my expectations and the wait. Chicken Shawarma Hummus - 9/10 It was so yummy and the flavor was rich with the chickpea and red onion , just wished they had more pita to go with it. I really enjoyed this dish ! Crispy Cauliflower - 8.5/10 It was so crispy and the sauce was so good! Good portion size too ! Whipped ricotta - 8.5/10 Solid cheesy ricotta! good amount and the pita was really good ! Dead Sea Mocktail - 9/10 Solid guava based drink! Super refreshing on a hot summer! Za'atar Crusted Salmon - 9/10 The skin was soooo crispy and the meat is so tender ! The sauce under was amazing and paired so well with the salmon. However, there wasn't much of a za'atar flavor which I wish was a bit stronger but still so good and would get again. Chocolate Babka - 8/10 Was good but nothing too special and I think a bit dry Baked goat cheese with grilled coconut - 9/10 Really good and flavorful read more
