There were some tasty items, but overall it was not worth the trip from Williamsburg. The favorite of the evening was without a doubt the batata harra. The potatoes were perfectly textured and well seasoned. While overall I much prefer Huda for Lebanese fare in Brooklyn, this dish was better done here. The cold mezze were all pretty bland and didn't leave much of an impression despite a healthy pouring of olive oil. The fattoush was fine - I do wish they had some sort of fatteh on the menu as well. If I have a hankering for arak in the neighborhood, I might stop in again for a snack.

I loved this restaurant! I was staying not too far from them…read moreso I walked there one night. As soon as I was seated I was offered a complimentary tea. My server was gentle and kind. There were so many items on the menu but I decided to try a dish I had never had before. I chose chicken gallaba. They brought me a salad and lamb broth first. I did not expect those but I loved it. My dish was huge. The plate itself was huge. They gave me a ton of basmati rice! I loved the smell of the spices and the bursting flavors. I was only able to eat maybe 1/3 of it but I enjoyed the leftover later. I think this is such good value. The place is not big but has a cozy home feeling to it. I recommend!

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!

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.

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!

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.

On a Friday evening, my friend and I came in as walk-ins and got a spot at the bar. The space is a bit tight, but it works if you don't make a reservation ahead of time. I was pretty hungry, and everything we ordered was more than enough food. To start, we had the Whipped Ricotta ($14), Muhammara ($14), and Chicken Shawarma Hummus ($18). Absolutely loved every dip, which were all different in its own ways that I can't even choose a favorite. The ricotta was a sweet one that gave a nice contrast from the savory spices of the other two. I liked how much chicken they added for the hummus too, so you're getting almost a whole meal. You'll definitely need extra pita for all this, which does fill you up. We did also get a Radicchio Salad ($19) for some greens plus a Beef Kofta Skewer ($20) for some meat. Both of these dishes were solid, but could pass on them next time. Definitely recommend any of the mezze and hummus here; it's all you need. This is a really great date spot or group dinner. Perfect to have a drink or two while enjoying some pita and dips mostly.

We were visiting our son from Dallas to celebrate his 21st birthday. He was excited because this…read morewas the first restaurant reservation he had ever made for our family as an adult. Unfortunately, what should have been a memorable evening was overshadowed by the behavior of one member of your staff. Our son accidentally booked a communal table instead of a standard table. We didn't realize that until we arrived. After being seated, I politely asked whether one of the available four-person tables might be an option. Another staff member explained the reservation, told us a table would likely open up shortly, and said he would move us when one became available. We appreciated the explanation. A few minutes later, while we were simply sitting at our assigned table drinking water, another employee--who appeared to be a manager or supervisor--approached us in an aggressive tone and said, "Apparently you guys want to move. Then you need to go outside and wait because there's a waitlist." The interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational. We didn't argue and simply told him we'd stay where we were. The rest of dinner was enjoyable, and our waitress was excellent. She made great recommendations and provided warm, attentive service. Unfortunately, another incident occurred at the end of the meal. I had ordered the fish as one of my entrées. Everyone else at the table had finished eating while I was still waiting. When I asked our waitress about it, she apologized and said it was being plated. After waiting another 10 minutes--with it now around 10:15 PM--we asked if the order could simply be canceled since it had already been 20-25 minutes. She agreed, but then returned and explained that the same employee had instructed her to tell us it would still be coming. He then came to our table and, in a rude and dismissive manner, told us that "the fish normally takes 10-15 minutes." That explanation made no sense given that we had already waited well beyond that time. We weren't rushing the kitchen--we had patiently waited over 20 minutes after everyone else had finished eating. As we left, my children commented that the interactions made them feel like we were being treated differently because of our race. I sincerely hope that wasn't the case. I want to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt and believe this was the conduct of one individual rather than a reflection of Miss Alda as a whole. However, the behavior was significant enough that it changed what should have been a special family celebration. Hospitality is about making guests feel welcome and respected. Unfortunately, this employee did the exact opposite. He appeared to be a white gentleman with a mustache, wearing a green shirt and a hat on the evening of our visit. I don't know his name, but management should know who he is. To anyone planning to visit Miss Alda, I hope your experience is better than ours. The food and our waitress deserved praise, but the conduct of this employee left us questioning whether we were treated fairly. That is not how anyone should feel when celebrating an important family milestone.
