delicious brunch. Food was quick and flavorful. shakshuka with lamb sausage was delicious.

I'm really surprised that this place has such high reviews; are they all from tourists? $16 for ONE pancake is INSANE and so is $23 for schwarma. They were both tasty but if I'm expected to pay that much I also expect it to come with servers who aren't standing around texting or who know how to split a check on their digital iPad. Oh and $6 for a spoonful of hummus is also ridiculous ; is this all a joke? I prefer oasis down the street. read more

Great brunch spot! Reunion serves Israeli food with a twist. With plenty of outdoor seating, we were able to walk in on a weekend morning. It was hard to choose what to order, but we got the breakfast pita and shakshuka with sausage. The breakfast pita was stuffed with eggs, bacon, feta and aioli. The shakshuka came with a fluffy loaf of challah for dipping. The dishes were perfect for sharing! Everything was well seasoned and made with fresh ingredients. We left very full, but will come back to try dinner soon. read more

Reunion - Shakshuka, Breakfast Pita - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Cozy spot with a warm, inviting vibe. It does get pretty busy, so definitely make a reservation if you're coming on the weekend. Very friendly atmosphere. We ordered the chicken sandwich, the Israeli salad with grilled chicken, and some freshly baked challah (my favorite) everything was delicious! The food came out quickly, and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a great experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

This restaurant has beautiful indoor and outdoor shaded seating. The menu has a great mix of indulgent and healthy food - all delicious. Must try: hummus small plate with pita, chicken shawarma, chicken schnitzel (topped with sesame seeds, yum!). Brunch menu had shakshuka, avocado toast, granola yogurt bowl, also looked delicious. Service was very attentive! read more

Came here around 2 PM, very very hungry and simply wanted to eat anything. Overall, I would say this place is good and has a quirky vibe, but the prices don't really align for what you are getting. It took around 30 minutes to get seated without a reservation (not bad considering other places were not seating anymore). We were recommended the Malawach and Breakfast pita to order. The pita was really good and flavorful, but the Malawach was very simple and left me wanting more. The feta dip it came with was very bland and light and I felt there should've been 2 eggs for the amount of bread. I would recommend the breakfast pita instead. read more

I went here for a Sunday girls' brunch and was disappointed. I had the incredible shawarma with a side of pita, and my friends had the shakshuka, breakfast pita, and pancakes. The food was good, but overall, we had a bad experience. The waitstaff wasn't very friendly, and we felt rushed from the moment we sat down. They came over immediately to ask for our drink order before we even had a chance to look at the menu. They tried to take my friend's mimosa away before she was done with it and put down our check as soon as we finished eating. They also cleared our water cups before we got up to leave, even though there was no one waiting for a table. *Additionally, they charge a 3% fee when using a credit card to pay the bill. read more

Too expensive for what it is. Food was good though, reminds me of food in Israel. Dishes: 1) Shakshuka ($20): nice amt of spicy. The highlight was the challah, one of the best I've ever had. 2) Breakfast Pita ($16): just a regular breakie Sandi in a pita bread (eggs, bacon, avocado) 3) Side of Crispy Potatoes ($8): got 8 big wedges with aioli. It was very good with the perfect amount of crisp w/minimal oil. It is expensive for what it is. 3) Lahma'ajun ($21): on gluten free bread: very good, would come back for this Service: The waiter was a little TOO intense though. We had minimal time to choose what to order and being questioned/judged for requesting condiments. Logistics: -accepts cc -indoor and outdoor seating read more

Brunch was great in this bright and cozy spot. Our server was an absolute delight! I got the bread w soft boiled egg and it was perfect. Light, slightly sweet bread that you pull apart to dip into the tomato and yogurt sauce. We also got the pancakes. They were not a standout but solid. Our drinks were great. Overall very happy and would return in the future. read more

Reunion - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

So by the time I had this, I had just checked out of my hotel; however, that was not before I made my decision to actually go eat there. Yeah, it was a last minute decision, who cares? Well I probably should have. Why? This place gets so much business and gets so crowded, you will actually be asked upon entering if you've made a reservation to come here! Yeah, me being the totally smart idiot I am did not do this. Lucky for me, I was still able to squeeze into an opening and was still able to be waited on, so we can begin the review in earnest. And by the way, the service here is phenomenal! The employees are nice and very helpful! But yeah, before you come here, MAKE A RESERVATION! You need it! So it took a moment for me to decide what I had wanted for my brunch, but I was able to start off with a cappuccino, and you get a pitcher to pour water into a smaller glass. The way the cappuccinos are served to you by the way is artistic in such a way that you can see a heart to top off your drink. That's how you know they make their coffees and the like with love. So this delightful place specializes in Israeli food which is a nice touch I had not thought about trying when I arrived in Brooklyn the night before. But for brunch, this will hit the spot. So when deciding what to order, I almost went with the pancakes, but as I looked more at my menu, I had noticed another choice begin to emerge that caught my eye: the breakfast pita which has scrambled eggs, bacon, and topped with harissa aioli. Bacon is like the most perfect side EVAR when it comes to breakfast and goes great on a lot of things. The harissa aioli also drew me in because I happen to love aioli as a condiment. Fun fact, I actually use garlic aioli and not mayonnaise or ketchup when I cook a Philly cheesesteak! That's how much you can convince me to try your item if it has a good aioli as its condiment! So yeah, that's what I went with, and might I say, that was absolutely scrumptious! I normally don't even eat egg, but even the egg here was good. Oh, I would also like to let y'all in on something about my experience here that just absolutely made my mouth water. So at a table next to the one I was at, a man there was served this dish that looked to be in some kind of a pan. I actually remarked to him "THAT looks good", and he mentioned that next time I come here, I should order this. The dish I am talking about here is their Shakshuka, and it actually looked good enough that I kind of got jealous of his dish! And apparently, it's one of their best menu items. Okay, that does it! If I ever have brunch in Brooklyn again and get around to making that darn reservation, I'm getting that! read more

I ordered the lamb kabob and for dessert I had the Turkish baclava. I love the Williamsburg NYC vibe of this place. And of course the reference to foods you might find in a restaurant in Tel Aviv. Service was quite good. I sat outside there is a very spacious area for outside table dining with great Williamsburg people watching. read more

Had a lovely dinner sitting outside here. The menu has plenty of options without being overwhelming. For two people we split the: fried halloumi, beet hummus, Israeli salad, and kebab and rice. Everything was amazing, I especially loved the spicy honey dip the halloumi was served with. The Israeli salad was refreshing and delicious. The bill came out to around $90 pre-tip which is typical for places like this in the area and my bf and I were so full by the time we left. Our server was attentive and the food came out in ample time. I highly recommend! read more

Reunion - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Between this and Shalom Japan, Jews in Brooklyn can now rejoice in embracing multiple cuisines, and their roots, without compromising much of what us Jews (yes, I am lumping me in here) enjoy, food! Stopping in here on a quiet morning allowed me the flexibility to enjoy two dishes quite blissfully. The menu options offer an eclectic array of Israeli dishes that I know all too well, and combine it a little with some American flair. This is probably why all the food tastes as light, fresh, and refreshing as it gets. I started with the Shakshouka and knowing how it can par up with the Shakshouka in Israel, this would be a tough task. No worries, it is delicious. The eggs mellow out a delightfully spicy tomato sauce and you get a beautiful challah loaf for dipping, but do not discount it as a side. It is flaky and buttery and tastes decent on its own. This dish does need a meat, and the Merguez sausage is the perfect accent to it. Light but flavorful, savory but not overly salty. Two little links of this makes this whole dish a solid four and a half stars out of a possible five. I decided to double up and get the pancake as well. It is more a cake than a pancake, if that makes sense, but it is cooked light, fluffy, and accented by the right fruits. Bananas and blackberries are the correct call. Raspberries and strawberries would make the cake too tart. These keep the pancake sweet but not too sweet to the point it will make it too decadent. I did without the butter though, but put a bit of syrup on them to see how it would turn out. It did just fine. Sadly this dish needs a bit of what I call a performance enhancer or it does taste a bit dry. I award this dish three and half stars out of five. They also offer various drinks; I got a lemonade which had the perfect tart to sweet ratio. I also got a Jerusalem bagel and a blueberry scone to take home for later. These will not have impact on the overall rating as the three things I did eat more than make up for it. The service is also real cute and friendly as my server was super bubbly and the barista behind the counter was very cute, in a northern Brooklyn kind of way. In a surprising twist of fate, I discovered this restaurant is right across the street from Bamonte's, an Italian restaurant I am hoping to try. As a result, I will be back in the area soon. Between this and Shalom Japan, I am rejoicing and thrilled to find the foods I hold near and dear to me, now I will hold near and close. read more

Reunion - Shakshuka and Pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Went here to have dinner with some friends, and while the food was alright I was not too thrilled how the waiter did not know the majority of what was in the dishes nor did the "chef" apparently which made me uneasy. I really enjoyed their Labneh it probably was one of the favorites I had in awhile. The sauce for the Lamb Arais was too salty, and since we ordered a few of them, it was the same result for everyone... too salty! The drinks were also very pricy and overall expensive place. For once I can say I can get cheaper in Manhattan the same exact food. I was torn between two or three stars but that perfect Labneh is what really made me super happy to bump it to 3 stars. read more

Im visiting NY from CA and trying to find creative culinary spots to eat, which have a nice ambience and are also good for one person to settle down with a book. Reunion checked all the boxes according to my standards. I got the Yemenite pancake, of which was served with a gorgeous tomato/parsley oil sauce and a soft boiled egg. I paired it with a side of potatoes and aioli and a latte. The Yemenite pancake texture was soooo delicious--the perfect combo of doughy yet crunchy, and the potatoes complimented the dish so well. Took a seat next to the window and just relaxed and enjoyed the morning. read more

Wow! what a great place! Saturday, brunch was amazing. Met up with some people and we all ordered food. That was awesome. We shared a special they had homemade nachos that were really yummy. We use that as an appetizer. Coffee was awesome. The pancake And egg sandwich are much better than your run-of-the-mill, pancake and egg sandwich that you would find elsewhere. The shasuka was very good. And I tried for the first time -makawach. YUM. They had a DJ playing music outside that started half way though our time there. (we got there at 10:30 am) There's such a great vibe. The owner of the restaurant walked around checking on everyone. i love the attention to details and great energy. i will definitely be back. read more

We had a really fantastic brunch at Moabet because there weren't tables available at Reunion and the hostess encouraged us to head to Moabet where they were holding brunch and taking walkins.

This review is for weekend brunch. Came with three people at 11am and was able to beat the crowd and get seated right away. The restaurant is pretty small - by the time we left there was definitely a wait. I live around the area and will definitely be back. Ordered the below: -Chai: delicious. -Reunion Breakfast (added bacon): pretty standard, but it was what I was craving. It definitely hit the spot. Though, I do wish it just came with meat. -Inna's Pancakes: loved. Would come back for this. We split amongst the 3 of us and it was perfect. Slightly crispy outside and soft in the middle. -Lahmajun: I did not try this but the person liked. -Incredible Shawarma: I did not try this but the person liked. read more

This is one of my go-to restaurants for brunch in Brooklyn. The food is delicious and I love trying the different items on the menu!

A hidden gem! Being able to have lunch outside in Brooklyn is wonderful, but with an incredible israeli meal it truly makes for the perfect experience.

The servers were very kind and overall we had a very good experience. read more

Cozy ambiance for dinner and friendly service. There was no wait and really no other customers on a Monday night. We ordered 4 dishes for 3 people. Each dish was good but nothing too memorable. The fried halloumi paired well with the spicy honey. The incredible shawarma was good but paying more for a swipe of hummus is a bit much. It looked nice presentation-wise but there wasn't a lot of it. The harissa cauliflower was quite good. The matbucha was good but the challah was underwhelming. Overall it was fine. Maybe I'll be back for a brunch visit. read more

Food: Great clean and wholesome food! Came here to enjoy some boozy brunch. Ordered the Lamb shakshuka + latte followed by baklava + old fashioned reunion(?). Everything was delicious and the drinks on point! I truly enjoyed the presentation of the shakshuka with a whole mini loaf of challah! Cost: The dishes here was a little more expensive than usual in my opinion but still good enough for a treat once in awhile! Environment: The restaurant is small and quaint- gives off a cozy vibe. The place was decorated with unique knickknacks and my friend even ended up buying a cute cap from here as well! Service: Great service, they were attentive and I did not feel rushed or needed to really flag anyone down for anything. The times we were checked on felt very natural and well timed. Uniqueness: Always wanted to go visit Tel Aviv and noting that the owners came from there and brought along with them the delicious Israeli cuisine from their hometown just makes this place even more special! read more

Came here for brunch. Good outdoor seating if you want to bring your fur child. We ordered the shakshuka, shawarma, and a side salad. Everything came out quick. I enjoyed all the dishes. It was very flavorful. The shakshuka was very good with the bread it came with. The egg was cooked perfectly. I'm used to shawarma inside a pita but the dish was still good. I ate it with the salad instead. The salad was simple and fresh. It was a filling well balance meal that didn't leave me lethargic after. read more

Reunion - Shakshuka and shawarma with hummus - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ambiance (4/5): The establishment has a lovely décor in their indoor dining area. There is also an outdoor dining option. The restaurant has medium lighting and noise levels. The tables however are very tight to each other. We set a reservation at 7pm and the establishment was only about a third full on a Tuesday. Service (4/5): I thought the service was great with 2 wait staff and multiple busboys. I felt like our orders and food arrived at a reasonable timeframe. The cocktail took forever to arrive and came after the appetizer was served. Birthright (2/5): I liked that there was a splattering of options in the mezze platter but most were just meh. The Matbouch I would recommend and actually order on its own! In order of favorite to least favorite: 1. Matbouch - aka Matbucha, cooked tomatoes and roasted bell peppers seasoned with garlic and chili pepper 2. Hummus - pureed chickpeas 3. Labne - Greek yogurt w/ olive oil 4. I think we accidentally got a small dish of the New Age Baba (smoked eggplant) instead of the Zhoug which is supposed to be green (green peppers, cilantro, chilis) Incredible Shawarma (4/5) - The tahini sauce was creamy and blended well with the chicken thigh pieces which was moist and flavored with a slew of spices. The cabbage provided a nice texture to the bite. However, the volume of the dish is mostly supplemented from the thick cut fries. FYI amba is typically made of pickled green mangoes, vinegar, salt, turmeric, chili and fenugreek. read more

Friend's recommendation really did not miss! I'm now a huge fan of their lunch menu. Got the pitas, shashuka & their incredible shawarma.

All 3 are hard to come by altogether, so shoutout to Reunion for serving a standout lunch experience! read more

So so good!! Definitely want to come back and try other dishes. We got the Shakshuka and the Incredible Shawarma and both were amazing.

We walked in without a reservation and were seated quickly. read more

Dropped by Reunion last night for a last minute dinner and to say I was highly impressed would be an understatement. Ordered the following: Lamb Arais: (5/5) This grilled pocket of perfectly cooked lamb with all the right flavors was the star of the show. The pita was juicy and crispy from the lamb cooked inside, and the lamb itself was tender and flavorful. This is easily one of the top dishes I've tried in New York and that is saying a lot! Chicken Shawarma: (5/5) The chicken was tender and the flavors of the sauce, seasoning, pickle and chili perfectly balanced. Good portion and goes well with a side of pita. Side of pita: (5/5) Super soft and served warm. What's not to like about it! Nothing failed to impress here. What an absolute gem! read more

Very rarely do I find a place that does everything right and I have to admit... Reunion does everything right. On a Saturday afternoon, my partner and I were able to walk in and get seated immediately. The waitress had a very welcoming aura and provided us with beautiful menu booklets. The cover for the menu is what I assume to be buildings in Tel Aviv and everything sounded appetizing. We took our waitress' recommendations and opted for the hummus, sabich, incredible shwarma chardonnay white wine, and an off-menu gin and juice cocktail. We ordered a bowl of yogurt and granola and malebi ice cream in addition to her recommendations. I've had some great hummus in my time and I have to say that Reunion's hummus makes the top of the list. The consistency and taste with the accompanying warm and soft pita bread is perfect. I usually don't go for too much pita to save room for other food but we couldn't help getting another basket (in addition to the pita served with the sabich!). The sabich is surprisingly light despite the fact that the eggplant is fried. Mixed with the sauces at the bottom of the plate, fresh herbs, spicy peppers, and pita. This is a delicious and solid main. The yogurt & granola was a sweet relief to the savory sides and mains we ordered. The granola included fresh strawberries and bananas, a little honey, and nuts for texture. Very tasty. The portion is definitely hefty and matches the 15 dollar price tag. My partner and I were glad that the incredible shwarma only included the chicken. The chicken is nicely seasoned, tender, and fragrant from the mix of herbs and red cabbage on top. Since the plate is only chicken, it makes the dish easier to share amongst multiple people. And since everything we had was so delicious, even though my partner and I were really full, we were determined to try the malebi ice cream. And no surprise, the ice cream was super flavorful, fragrant, and refreshing. The strawberry rose syrup mixed with the rosewater ice cream and topped with pistachios is the perfect end to the meal. The best part? They make the syrup and the ice cream with their own in house recipe! In addition to all the food being perfect, the service is phenomenal. All the waiters and waitresses are friendly, personable and very knowledgable about the menu. The bus boy is quick and consistent and could also answer questions about the menu. When my partner dropped his fork by accident, the waiter was very attentive and replaced my partner's fork in seconds without my partner asking. Front of house definitely knows what they're doing. Everything about Reunion is meticulously thought out from the food, to the service, to the beautiful menu covers and the decoration of the restaurant. There is no doubt I will be back to try more from the menu. read more

Small but cute Israeli restaurant. The holiday margarita was fine, not super sweet which I liked. Nice staff. Hard seats, but I'm a snob about seat comfort.

We stopped in today for brunch around 10:30am. Today was Reunion's 9th birthday, so they threw a little party with music and "I'm 9 Bro" t-shirts. It was so cute! To eat, we started off with some nachos that come seasoned with pico de gallo, avocado, and feta and cheddar cheese. These were an absolute flavor bomb of goodness. Highly recommend. To eat, I ordered Inna's Pancakes. These are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were magnificent, I would come back just for them. It was a nice surprise when Inna, herself, stopped by to greet our table and I was able to tell her how great her pancakes are. I got to try my friend's Shakshuka which was delicious as well! It comes out literally boiling so exercise caution before digging in! I also got to try a piece of the Malawach with yogurt and hard boiled egg, this was great too! My other friend enjoyed his Breakfast Pita. It started getting pretty busy around 12. So word to the wise, get here on the earlier side if you want to beat the crowd. Our reunion at Reunion was a huge success. I'll definitely return soon! read more

Food is good, service meh. I've been for brunch and dinner. Brunch experience was great! It's a cute spot and the food was fresh and tasty. I came back recently for dinner was disappointed. There was an issue with our reservation and our table wasn't going to be ready until 20 minutes after it was scheduled. We were told to head outside and find somewhere else to keep warm until our table would be ready. Normally, I wouldn't find that a big deal, but it was 20 degrees out that night! The staff were mildly apologetic but didn't offer anything to make up for the inconvenience when we got back. For a place of the standard Reunion strives for, I'd expect more. It's a spot worth checking out, maybe when it's warmer out? read more

I had seen this place while walking around, but did not know they also had a brunch menu! While browsing for somewhere to eat with friends on a Sunday, my friend came across this place and we decided to give it a shot. Gave them a ring to see how long the wait would be, we ran over, and were sat about 5 minutes after. Inside it is really packed and loud with all the people talking, so hearing what people were saying was a bit difficult. Our waitress was lovely and quick to get our orders in, but did take a bit of time to actually get our food. On my end, I got a chai latter with oat milk (delicious), and the malawach. First time trying Israeli food and I was definitely surprised and satisfied. The Malawach was very yummy, not what I was expecting, but very good nonetheless. I dont think I ate it correctly, but truly enjoyed it. One of my friends got the Shakshuka and gave me a piece to try and I loved it! Another one got the breakfast pita and it looked exquisite. Overall, enjoyed the food a lot! Will definitely come back but maybe opt out to sit outside (if the weather permits) as I think it will be less noisy! read more
