The service was also great with really nice staff. It would be great if they put some more love into the decor and aesthetic. They also don't have a liquor license which seems be out of their control but hopefully they get one soon as proper cocktails would be a great complement to this delicious food.

So close. The food is great at first-very nostalgic to my grandmas cooking-but becomes very one…read morenote. Portions are small on some items-we had to request extra pita because they didn't give the amount that was meant to come with the order. The service is lackluster. They take your order and then you have to chase them down for anything except the bill. It is very loud inside and no ac which makes for an exhausting experience in an nyc summer. The food is good but the prices just didn't match the experience. This is my 2nd time and will try again if I could get outdoor seating.

The vegetarian appetizer is so large - it has a veggie stew, hummus and baba ganoish, and bread! We also ordered the chicken fahsa which was also quite delicious! I think the quality of the food was good and more than enough for 4 people! Price: very reasonable especially given the portion sizes Ambience: no frills spot! Service: the service is very slow!

I have a lot of Pros so i'm gonna start with really the only con. Con: it was pretty loud in the main room. Food: the Dorade and lamb meatballs were both awesome, the Chicken and Saffron butter was great as well. If youre gettting the pita and mezze, get more pita than you'd expect. It's some of the beg pita our family had ever had. The hummus was great but the babaganoush was killlerrrrr. My family had a field day on the syrian cheese and hot honey. I loved the grape leaves and charred eggplant. For dessert, ordered the tiramisu, date sticky pudding, and the rhubarb tart. The date sticky pudding was kind of like a date brownie and the toffee topping was insane. It was so rich and potent. tiramisu was good, but we could have done another Tart. It was so vibrant and refreshing, it was the first to go and if we wouldn't have already been stuffed, we would have ordered another. Service was great, and very accommodating. I can't have sesame seeds, and they took it off of everything we ordered, no mistakes there and much appreciated!

The service at Huda was fantastic, and every dish had a really unique twist to it! The staff seemed…read morereally happy to help out whenever we needed something, and I would definitely come back and try some of these dishes again. I think the honey/cheese dish stood out the most. It was a little bit difficult to talk when we were seated in the back area because the acoustics there are not very conducive to conversation, especially when it's busy. There was a group of four girls next to us just catching up, and maybe a few other couples in the space, and it was still really hard to hear each other, enough that it honestly kind of gave me a headache to sit in the back! If you are going here for a date and you actually want to chat, I would recommend asking to be seated in the front so you can actually hear each other.

I felt like everything here was very average. The schnitzel was good, not great. It was a little…read moredry. The table-side hummus was very standard hummus, and the table-side experience didn't add much. The baba ganoush was pretty good, however. I didn't love the pomegranate seeds, but they kind of just got in the way and made it harder to eat. The prawn risotto was decent, but again, nothing really blew me away. The service was great, and the ambiance inside was great as well, but due to the food just lacking much personality, I will not be returning.

Gorgeous restaurant, but unfortunately the food is just ok. There's a ton of Mediterranean…read morerestaurants in the area that I would rather go to. I feel like the prices here are too expensive to justify the quality. My favorite thing was the babaganoush. Also, the service is not great. It feels like the staff haven't been trained properly. There were times that our waitress seemed lost and didn't know what she was doing. We had to ask other wait staff questions to get proper answers. Also, don't advertise a special menu on Opentable and give people the option to reserve the menu when you aren't offering it. Came here for latkes and caviar for NYE since it said it was on the menu when I reserved on Opentable. Got there and was told they only served it during Hannuka Hanukkah. Checked their IG and they were still posting they were serving it. Total let down.

Everything ordered was shared: Mushroom hummus (10/10) delicious Fattoush salad (9/10 really refreshing) Patata harra (9/10 great flavor but I thought they'd be crispier) Monkfish kebab (8/10 the monkfish melted in your mouth but a little spicier than expected) Knafeh dessert (9/10 I wish it was a little crispier but delish!) Orange blossom donuts (8/10 also really good but a little too sweet!)

Food: The food is pretty good here. We walked in on a Saturday around noon without a reservation…read moreand were still able to get a table even though the place was packed. We tried the mushroom hummus, Zaa'tar fries, chicken shawarma sandwich, and Shakshouka. All of the food was delicious and well-made; I would recommend the mushroom hummus. The best part of the meal was the pita bread that comes with the hummus and also shakshouka. It was some of the best pita I've ever had; it had a nice chewy and soft texture. It came out warm and tasted so fresh. Service: Service was excellent. Staff were welcoming and friendly. They were attentive and constantly came around to fill our water. Ambiance: There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant is a good size with many tables to accommodate both large and small groups. Seating is comfortable, and the ambiance is nice. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant!

The fish were so crispy and came with a nice side of salsa verde. Watermelon salad was super refreshing, even on the coldest of days. My favorite was the sujuk migas for its unique blend of spices and generous topping of cheese - a sure flavor enhancer though it didn't need it.

Unfortunately disappointing…read more We were sat immediately, had a few moments to look over what we wanted. I'm going to keep this one short and to the point. The service was not good at all, insanely slow, and was difficult to get water refills. The staff had to be short handed, having one server for the whole space felt off, someone had to have called out. If i'm incorrect and they have one server for the whole space on a weekend, then owners/management need to hire a second server. Food was not very good. Food also came out of order, we got one of the main dishes before the appetizer, and one dish was not hot. Unfortunately I will not come back, there is potential with the dishes and combination of ingredients, but there are so many other places in the city, nothing is pulling my hand to go back.

Make your reservation - this place was busy even right at 5 pm on a Friday!…read moreMiss Ada is the perfect place to come with friends and order a bunch of things to share. I highly recommend getting an assortment of dips and small plates - 2-3 dishes per person was just right for us. I can't pick a favorite item of the evening: The Israeli Salad Hummus was some of the best/most flavorful hummus I've had, the Whipped Ricotta was perfect and so fluffy, and the Matbucha & Labne are also great additions to the table. They make a really good Falafel here, and the Crispy Cauliflower were perfectly crispy and well-sauced. The Chocolate Babka dessert is a great way to end your meal, and they do make a solid espresso martini for those wondering. The only thing I was not a fan of is their drink menu - all of the cocktails are spicy or smoky. Although you can sub out different alcohols, it would be nice to have a few other options.

sweet potato hummus ($14) - saw a bunch of people recommend…read morethis 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

If it is your first visit, the beef fahsa and lamb haneeth are the way to go. Both are rich, satisfying, and showcase what the menu does best.

I would definitely come back.

I don't think I've had Kibbie before but man, what a dish, esp with the rice pilaf which is nothing like what you get out of a box. My dining companion was very pleased with her shish kabab and tea, and we ended the meal with cardamom-infused Arabic coffee, which looks like an espresso but tastes like spiced coffee, as it should. No milk needed, nor should you add it, as our server reminded us. All in all, a great meal, albeit on the expensive side. Thanks to the couple we met at the Nitehawk who recommended this place! Whatever your names are, you were right!

Unfortunately I was very excited about the lamb dolmas and they didn't live up to the hype. Not much filling and the lemon sauce was not existent. The cauliflower steak was good and had a nice flavor. The cheese pie was not my favorite. There was a certain taste I was not a fan of. Would recommend if in the area but wouldn't travel far for the food.
