    Obsessed with their chicken shawarma bowl! The harissa and mango sauces they have are a must! Pita bread is served warm and fresh. Staff was very friendly. Will definitely be back.

    I had been wanting to come to Nili's for the longest time because I'm a big fan of Miss Ada (a restaurant with the same owners) but unfortunately Nili is a bit out of the way. The inside is somewhat small but there are a few tables inside, and a lot more seating out front. There was also a restroom inside as well. Once you order, they will call out your name when the food is ready. I got the BLT on a pita bread and it was delicious. The bacon is thick and the pita and sauce were both great! It is a little bit on the sweeter end because I believe they use a maple honey syrup of some sort. Another small complaint was that while the bacon slabs were incredible, there weren't any in the bottom half of my BLT - only lettuce and tomato. That said, for $10, it was a great sandwich and I definitely want to come back for other things.

    Very cute cafe that has excellent food and lattes, however limited indoor seating so try to go on a nice day because there is ample outdoor seating. Ordered the latte and beef shawarma bowl which came with hummus, pulled beef, pickled red onion and sliced pickles. Wouldn't really say it's a true shawarma dish but was delicious. Comes with a pita on the side, which was freshly baked. Latte was also solid, get the burekas! They are amazing.

    I'll start by saying I cannot speak directly for the locations interior as I did not go into the establishment. I also had no interaction with staff. However I was told the interaction with staff was pleasant and he was spoken to and explained the different items. What I can speak on is the hummus. I was brought 3 different kinds, hummus, sweet potatoes hummus, and I forgot the 3rd.... May have been the labne and they were fantastic. The sweet potato was absolutely my favorite; slightly sweet with a smooth and creamy base. The unknown was good, kind of reminded me of a thick rich salad dressing...but I mean that in the best way. And the regular hummus, I could eat for days. The pita was also warm and pillowy soft. But I have literally been finding things to eat these with.... Veggies, bread, eggs, roasted veggies, sandwiches. Will return to try other items in the menu.

    Overall rating: 4.8 I am absolutely obsessed with this place. A friend recommended it and it did not disappoint. I wish I lived in this area, I'd be going all the time! Although I don't think a rating matters much. This place was hustling and bustling with locals Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

    Came through this morning to show support on Nili's first day! The team was hustling but still took the time to explain everything to me and my partner. We received samples of the granola which is DELICIOUS, then ordered drinks and a croissant. My cortado was warm and rich, and the cold brew also impressed. The almond croissant was sweet and delicious, a fresh taste that brought back great memories. For coffee and a pastry, Nili nailed it. The menu is going to expand over the next couple of weeks, and I plan to update my review after trying more of the food offerings. I'm excited to have this cool new coffee shop in the neighborhood.

    So so so amazing!! Cute and quiet little cafe with the best hummus ever!! I am such a fan of the cauliflower hummus. Also loved the spinach boreka!!

    This cafe is a treasure in Carroll Gardens. On Sundays around 4-6pm they have a live band playing music outside and you can sit and drink wine. It is a peak summer afternoon activity.

She's been coming to their place sincemit was down the street and was a really small bakery/cafe. We'd never been and came here on her suggestion. It was fantastic choice. Walking in there were plenty of free tables on a Thursday morning, and we sat far from the front door on a cold winter day. The counter displaynofmcake, cookies and pastries is really gorgeous. Cousin John's offers table service with an extensive menu with omelets, pancakes, French toast and salad. Our server was helpful and very patient with us making our selections. I chose The Berkeley omelette which was pretty good. It came with a delicious salad and fried potatoes that weren't too greasy. Our group also ordered the build your own 3 egg omelette and avocado toast with 2 eggs on top. I also wanted to taste the French toast and I ordered 1 piece. It was all very tasty and satisfying, we left feeling really good. My black coffee was very good and my wife enjoyed her latte with almond milk. The price for our meal was reasonable. I'd highly recommend Cousin John's.

    Came in a little after 8pm on a Saturday for some baked goods. Young man at the counter was nice…read moreand helped us out. Cannoli: 5/5 delicious. Shell was perfectly crunchy and the filling was tasty Walnut brownie: 1/5. Consistency was more like cake than brownie, and a dry cake at that. Black and white cookie: 3/5. Good, but would not go out of my way for it.
