They offered great recommendations since it was our first time at this restaurant for most of the people in our party. The food was delicious. We decided to go for their bigger dishes and share it family style. We took their mixed grilled platter and their seafood mix. We also had their Sarava salad, cheesy bread and tuna tartare! All great! The drinks did not disappoint either. Some great craft cocktail choices. We actually saved room for dessert this time and tried their banana crème brûlée and Brazilian carrot cake - YUM!

I didn't experience any attitude or rudeness from any of the staff which was good. My only complaint is that she didn't write down our order which in turn got our food all wrong. I ordered the burger well done, my chick ordered hers medium. Well I ended up with the medium and she got the well done. We wanted cheddar cheese, well we both got swiss. We wanted truffle fries and we both ended up with regular fries. So yeah this pretty much goes down to not writing exactly what we wanted and us getting whatever food they felt like giving us. I would recommend next time to please write down customers orders so that the paying customer gets exactly what he's paying for. I will say again the food was very good but they screwed up the orders. Will I go back, I don't know but I hope in future they write orders down so this doesn't happen to anyone else.

This review is long overdue! A few weeks ago, while attending Kingsborough Community College, I had…read morea craving for steak and discovered Wow Bistro as the closest spot that caught my interest. Instead of studying in the campus library, I decided to do my homework here, and it turned out to be quite the experience--who needs a library when you can dive into a ribeye steak while working? Haha! The atmosphere was very relaxing, making it easy to focus on my studies while enjoying my meal. I ordered the ribeye steak, and though I can't remember the name of the side dish, it had an incredible texture--something with potatoes that was absolutely delicious. The service was fantastic, and the staff treated me wonderfully throughout my visit. Overall, I had a great experience with no complaints. Highly recommend!

The tall, heavy glasses gave off a refined touch that fit the setting perfectly. I ordered the lamb chops medium and got them well-done; no red anywhere. Luckily, they weren't dry and still tasted fine, just not the juicy medium I was hoping for. The mushroom sauce had some flavor to it, so that helped. The side, on the other hand, was confusing: long, crispy carrot strips that looked like potato chips but didn't taste nearly as good. At roughly $50 after tax and tip, the portion of three medium-sized chops felt a bit light, especially since I later saw photos on Yelp showing some plates with four. Between the off temperature, the odd side, and the light portion, I actually left and grabbed another meal afterward. Great vibe, friendly staff, decent food; but for the price, I expected a bit more substance.

Great opportunity to take photos with cool decor and backgrounds. Everyone was happy with food. And with drinks. Service was top notch and surprisingly final bill was reasonable. As far as food - lamb chops were excellent. Pasta with steak was quite large and tasty. Seafood pasta was excellent. For me best dish was pistachio Adana kebab - visually stunning, with layered flavors and sauces poured table side Also enjoyed all the drinks. Especially bourbon with flaming cinnamon stick (actual fire made the drink warm and added nice smokiness). Emmons Ave features many restaurants but Lokum for me stands out due to food quality and ambiance

Wow! Had a…read moredelicious brunch here with my fiancé and our family. You would never know this place has a restaurant in the back, and walking by it looks like a store that sells different things. Everything is made to order and their menu changes monthly. I had the churro French toast. It was very good and tasted just like a churro you'd get at a fair or a carnival. It came with a side of breakfast meat. I chose bacon and it was cooked to perfection. Other things that were ordered included banana pudding pancakes and the burger. Everything was enjoyed by all! To drink I had the Asian Mary, which was a Bloody Mary but with sake. Shortly after it came out our waitress came back stating she forgot to put the sake in it. Talk about being honest! I forgot what drink my fiancé had, but he enjoyed as well. Their coffee was also fresh and delicious! 5+ * for service and food! ** Venmo or cash only for payment !

Our server was not having it that night. From the moment we walked in to the minute we left, we felt like he was having a bad day and couldn't have been more annoyed with every single customer's presence. Not a great feel. Needless to say, service left wanting more. Would not return here just so I wouldn't have to interact with that waiter. Ambiance is pleasant. The establishment aims to provide a more upscale vibe, even if customers are dinning super casually on a Thursday night. $28 Mongolian beef appetizer was tasty--a bit too dry--more sweet sauce would've been in order. The portion was big--good to share amongst several people. The fact that an appetizer costs as much as an entree is nuts to me. $54 for 8 oz. Filet Mignon entree was standard steak house price but this establishment is not a steakhouse. Both our fillets were cooked to the temps we ordered. The meat was good quality. However. The entire dish was BLAND. Zero salt or seasoning in anything. What? Did the chef forget to add salt to everything?? The sauce would've been great if it was seasoned and had taste. Same goes for potatoes gratin and mushrooms and meat. This was bizarre. How do you not season food? $15 napoleon was okay. Not the best and not the worst I had. The cream was too heavy on the eggs and more of a custard consistency, not the traditional Russian napoleon kind. Big piece, though, so it's good to share amongst several people after a filling dinner. Would I return? For such prices, bad service, and bland food--no. Spend your money elsewhere.

I'd probably leave them a 5 for portion compared to price and quality, but the service wasn't good for multiple reasons. I went to this Palestinian restaurant, open since late last year, with a group earlier in the evening. The food overall was very tasty, but I found the service at best inept. I understand that it's a casual spot, but there were multiple issues throughout the evening with the two female servers. We were first without napkins, had to ask for more silverware, and had to repeatedly ask for spoons to share, so we eventually just reused things and moved them back and forth between dishes. There was also the fact that they don't serve tap water here even when asked, so it's a $1.45 minimum unless you want one of their drinks. I got a mint lemonade for $4.95, which was decent, and others got water, a hibiscus drink for the same price as mine, or a malt drink. They also brought out a ton of dishes while we were still having appetizers and eventually just put stuff on another table as we obviously didn't have room, so I guess order the appetizers only to begin with unless you want an overcrowded table. There were also issues with the bill, but I'll bring that up later. We started with the excellent Mixed Mezze for $29.95, with hummus, baba ghanoj, labneh, olives, pickles, salata tahina, tabbouleh, falafel, makdous, and fresh Soul of Palestine bread. The portion was large, with the dish reminding me of the old portion size from Ayat or Al Badawi before either expanded. The mixed mezze were all tasty and went well with the warm bread, with particularly good falafel (3 pieces) and hummus, but the baba and salata tahina were tasty as well. The only thing hard to split was the makdous, which came with one eggplant, but the inside was tasty. As mentioned, as we were plowing through the appetizer, our entrees started to arrive. First to arrive was the Bedouin Zarb for $31.95, listed as a traditional Bedouin method of cooking meat in the pit oven, served with rice. The meat in question was lamb, and there was a pretty big chunk that was very tender. The rice was the highlight, as it was nicely spiced with some slivered almonds. The dish reminded me of a slightly weaker version of the Hadramout Lamb from Yemenat nearby, but it was still tasty. Next to arrive was the best dish of the night, the $24.95 Musakhan, listed as the national dish of Palestine, made of roasted chicken over taboon bread topped with onions, sumac, and nuts, served with yogurt. I was originally going to get the Ouzi, but I went with this instead as they were out of it, and it was a blessing in disguise. Compared to the other Palestinian spots, the chicken was much more tender here, and they put a lot more sweet onions on the bread. The only complaint I could make is that I wish there were more nuts and sumac. Also, for the same price, there was the equally excellent Maqluba, listed on the menu as Jerusalem Flip, with spiced rice, half a chicken, eggplant, cauliflower, potato, and salad. Like the other dish, the chicken itself was very tender, with the rice being a bit less spiced than the Zarb but still flavorful, with a couple of crispy pieces. The various vegetables were very tasty, and I particularly liked the cauliflower, which I wish there were more of. The yogurt with cucumber on the side reminded me of raita. Finally, there was the $31.95 Mansaf with lamb cooked in dried yogurt/jmeed, over a bed of saj bread and rice topped with nuts. As with the other dishes, the portion was quite large, with a giant amount of fluffy rice. The lamb was very flavorful, but not nearly as tender as some other spots, with a bit too much rendered fat. This made it a bit harder to split compared to the better version at Al Badawi. The jmeed added some nice sour flavor and helped with the richness. We were planning on trying their $9.99 knafeh/chnafa (a new spelling for me), which is one of my favorite desserts, but they were out of it along with the other halwa. That was unfortunate, but it made the bill a bit less annoying. Speaking of which, they weren't able to separate the drinks from the bill at the end. They also auto-built in a 4% card usage fee and couldn't print a bill for cash usage to save on that fee, so I had to calculate it all, which was a pain. Eventually, we left with plenty of leftovers for around $40 a person, minus drinks.

They only had the Knafeh today but would love to try their style of rice pudding (Rooz Oo Haleeb). Pardon my spelling !
