Pancakes
Sally l.

Visited this establishment many years ago and wanted to do brunch locally, glad we decided to visit Parlay! Sangria - a bit watered down for my taste and tasted bitter IMO. Pancakes - decent , nothing special. Eggs Benedict- decent, nothing special either. Waitstaff could be a bit more attentive but overall pleasant and nice.

Both of our meals
Danielle H.

2 of us walked to Parlay for coffee and a bite. We didn't expect how wonderful everything, especially the food, would be! Quiet and calm (at 8am on a Saturday), decorated so cute. The service was wonderful as well. Our food blew us out of the water. She got the Chilaquiles (said that it's the best she's had stateside) while I got a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. The "bun" was croissant-esque (I should have asked exactly what it was).. I added avocado and sriracha jam. 10/10! Absolutely recommend a visit to Parlay.

Fried mushrooms

This place was near my hotel. Came in for lunch. Service was great. Took my order as soon as I was ready. Nice quiet space. Food came out perfect. Fried mushrooms were fresh and amazing. The salmon was so good. Great job!

Cheeseburger (half-eaten)

It's a small place. They serve alcohol. I enjoy breakfast and or lunch at this low key corner spot. Beats the diners in the area. Great service.

King Hand Cut Fries Fried Shroom Sandwich
LaKayla L.

This place is very cute and has a cozy feel. It is pretty small so I wound recommend big groups. I ordered the shroom sandwich with a side of fries and I must say that Parlay did not miss. I was honestly blown away by how good the sandwich was. The oyster was huge and the right amount of crispy. It was seasoned so well and the thick cut of tomato complimented it nicely. I believe the sauce was some sort of house sauce and it was very savory. I would definitely order this dish again. Very pleased with the establishment. Can't wait to visit again :)

Mixed Peppers and Onion Omelette, Bacon, Egg and Cheese Sandwich

The atmosphere was fantastic, very small while still being comfortable. We were seated immediately and seen to immediately, it was at the time only one person there and she was super nice even while handling multiple people. I ordered a medium caramel latte which was a solid 9/10. Nothing too crazy but it was good. Gf got a simple orange juice which was good enough. I got a mixed peppers and onion omelette, 6-7/10. Eggs tasted very bland but they gave side offerings like salt,pepper, ketchup, hot sauce, to make up for it. BE&C was a 8/10. Gf said the bacon could've been better/cooked more, but was overall a good sandwich. The prices here though are amazing compared to other brunch spots which is what gives this an easy 4/5 stars.

Fried Chicken Sandwich. To die for
Gwen G.

Everything was perfect. Delicious. Divine. Creative. Served with love I don't live in Brooklyn. I fear they might not be here next time I am in town. Gotta eat this food again!

malaysian curry chicken: good
Josh B.

Solid lunch spot. Came here on a weekday for lunch with a couple friends. The place wasn't too busy and we were able to seat ourselves at a table right away. I ordered the Malaysian Curry Chicken, which I thought was pretty good. My friend who is a regular here really likes their Fried Chicken Sandwich. Glad I got to try this place!

Parlay has been in my bookmarks for a long time and I finally got to come today! It's a cute cafe and it has a calming and nice ambiance to it where i can just relax I came with my husband and we enjoyed it alot! The roti for the malaysian curry was super crispy but not burnt and the curry itself was delicious with pieces of potatoes and chicken inside. The burger was only okay for me since it didn't have special ingredients and the patty was a bit too well done for my taste, but that's just me - it could be perfect for someone else and it's still a good burger but i wouldn't say it was special. The staff was very friendly and I believe it's a mother daughter owned cafe and that's what i love to see rather than more chains around us. I would recommend for a date tbh!

Malaysian Curry and Roti
Cam A.

This was my first time trying this brunch spot . I pass by it often so figured it was time to give it a try . The pace is cash only but does have an atm inside . You order at the "desk" then food is brought to your table . The place isn't huge inside but it's cozy . Cons: When I went to place my order . I inquired about the ingredients of the omelette and let them know of my cheese intolerance . I was told there was no cheese In this dish . When my food arrived sliced my omelette and saw the entire inside filled with melted cheese . I called the waiter over and told her . Very rudely she stated "I told you we don't put cheese in the omelette". I have to open it up for her to see the cheese, then she grabbed the plate . No apology for her mistake and eventually my food came out without cheese . The entire interaction was very off putting hence the 3 star review Pros : I did enjoy the food and the atmosphere . If I had a different waiter this could have been a 4 start review . Definitely order the curry and roti ( it comes with 2 pieces of roti and you can get extra for $3)

Cuban sandwich and Caesar Salad
G O.

Great find in Sunset Park and highly recommend for a quick bite or brunch. There is seating outside and limited seats inside. The music was great and at a comfortable level. The staff was attentive and service was wonderful. As an appetizer we ordered the mozzarella sticks and WOW!! They were huge and cheesy and delicious. The food was excellent and cannot wait to return to try other items on the menu!

French toast
Fuang C.

I came here years ago and enjoyed their brunch and decided to come here again with a friend since we were in the area. I wanted to try their signature Malaysian curry chicken. They also had a toasted sesame latte that seemed really interesting. You order at the front first before being seated. The environment is pretty nice. It's decorated really nicely and overall a nice place to catch up with a friend. The food however was a bit disappointing. The signature curry was really heavy for my taste with few pieces of chicken and two pieces of potato. The roti that it came with was dry, flakey, and very thick. It wasn't crispy at all but felt more doughy. The French toast my friend got was standard. Nothing special about it. The toasted sesame latte had zero sesame flavor to it. It just tasted like a regular latte. Overall, the food was disappointing and I don't think I would come back again but the environment was pleasant. The staff was nice as well but not as attentive since my water cup was empty for a long time.

Victoria K.

Food delicious, although we waited a long time for coffees ( food was already half eaten by the time they came out ) everything was delicious and the man in charge gave us a fruit salad on the house. He forgot our pancake order ( to share for the table) but honestly we weren't in a rush and he was so sweet and the food tasted so good I didn't care.

I am still thinking about this food. It was so good, flavorful and fresh. We cleared those plates…read more We were full, but not sluggish at all..just completely satisfied. This is an intimate and cozy space, great to sit and talk without the noise of a loud space. Music was played, but not obnoxious and there is a tv. Service was great, food was tasty, no complaints at all! Quick heads up, this is a cash only spot, but so worth it. Will definitely be back!

I scoured the internet and my old photos trying to find this restaurant again. It had been about a…read moreyear since our first visit, so it took some digging but we eventually found Flamingobaby Kitchen and off we went! For the table, we ordered the oxtail stew, fried chicken, yams, collard greens, and mac & cheese. I also had a Peach Bellini for a little bubbly. Everything was exactly as I remembered -perfectly cooked and well seasoned, large portions with more than enough to take home. The chef stopped by our table which was a nice touch. Service overall was great. They also make great use of such a small space. It is indeed well worth the visit. Side note, we ordered the same exact items off the menu as we did a year ago...only one thing was missing which was the biscuits with the flavored butter jam. We were told the biscuits were replaced with cornbread. I didn't order the cornbread this time around but would like to see the biscuits return at some point.

Must Try: Small plate / flattened bánh ít trần?, Grilled Chicken Banh Mi…read more Me and Tanzina came here and there was basically only one thing on the menu that didn't have pork, so options were a little limited for her. I ended up coming back and trying more later though. Grilled Chicken Banh Mi - 4.5/5 The chicken was juicy, tender, and had a good amount of flavor. They also give you a lot of meat. The pickled filling wasn't overly vinegary, which I liked. Bread was good, nothing crazy. I do wish they went heavier on the mayo and pâté because it could have used a little more moisture. Grilled Pork Banh Mi - 4.5/5 Pretty much the same strengths as the chicken version. Good meat, solid flavor, good bread, and a nice balance of fillings. Could still use a little more sauce, but overall really good. Triple Ham Banh Mi - 4/5 Decent, but not exactly how I like my banh mi. It was a little dry for me. Maybe I just prefer mine wetter and a little more loaded with condiments. Small Plate / Flattened Bánh Ít Trần? - 5/5 I still need to figure out the actual name of this, but it was excellent. Very fresh and surprisingly filling, with a slightly sweet and savory flavor. The sauce paired with it extremely well. Easily one of the best things I had here. Price - 5/5 Pretty cheap for a New York spot, especially considering the portions and quality. Experience - 5/5 Simple menu and everything has been pretty consistent. There's a decent amount of seating and it isn't too loud. Just know that you may need cash, and there's an ATM a couple blocks away. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially for the chicken banh mi and that small plate once I finally figure out what it's actually called.

Tasty Banh Mi sandwiches!…read more I ordered ahead and didn't wait very long on a Sunday early afternoon. I asked for my Banh Mi with less carrot and daikon which they happily accommodated. The sandwiches were a little light on meat but ask for more because the prices of these sandwiches are also similarly light. There were other tasty treats and Vietnamese groceries in the shop, they also had self serve fried spring rolls in a toaster oven as well for $1 each. The women who run the shop were sweet and quick.

What a great morning cafe!…read more My friend took me here for breakfast and said they have really great sandwiches and coffee. We shared the hashbrown sandwich with egg which was so delicious, and just the right amount of spice from the green sauce. I also got a cardamom cinnamon syrup latte that seriously blew me away. When we stopped in, they were only doing take out and said they'd be closing for a few weeks for renovations so hopefully they'll have seating again in the future. But in the meantime, highly recommend taking your coffee and food to the park for a lovely time!

Food: This is an excellent Yemeni cafe right outside of the 45th Street subway station in Sunset…read morePark. The food and drinks are amazing, and I would highly recommend you try this cafe. They offer a variety of coffees, teas, cold drinks, sandwiches, toasts, salads, small bites, pastries, and brunch items (weekends only). We tried the shakshuka and lamb haneeth sandwich. Both were delicious, and I would recommend them both. The shakshuka is served with two slices of crispy and fresh toast. The shakshuka is served warm with three eggs topped with goat cheese. The lamb sandwich was very flavorful and served on crispy toasted bread with French fries. I can't wait to go back and try all of their other items. I would also recommend their orange blossom lemonade. It's very aromatic with a hint of sweetness. Service: Staff are so pleasant and welcoming. There is a server who brings you your food and clears your empty dishes after eating. Ambiance: The cafe is not big, but they have a good number of tables in the front and back of the cafe. Not ideal for large groups. The decor and ambiance is very nice and homey. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this cafe!

The fried calamari could've been less oily, as this took away from the crunch; also slightly overcooked. Baked clams were decent. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Pizza was great! They reheated for us, since our group was too busy chatting. Desserts - phenomenal! Drinks- ehh. Brunch menu - French toast was decent. The salmon over hash brown , was lacking a touch of something , couldn't pinpoint what was lacking. Chicken and waffles, decent, wasn't the best I've had. Service- jonathan was our waiter during brunch and also our bartender. He's GREAT! During service dinner, we had a female waitress and I felt she lacked attention to details and couldn't flag her down when we wanted something. Overall, service is a hit or miss , I guess? If you're looking for an intimate dinner, nope. Love their vibes and music playing in the background. You might need to "shout"'to hear
