Chicken shawarma platter and chicken Mandu

Love the concept of the restaurant, which is Syrian and Korean fusion. We had the chicken shawarma platter, chicken Mandu, and the chicken shawarma hotteok. The rice and hummus for the shawarma were amazing; the chicken was good but needed a little bit more seasoning but it was still enjoyable. The Mandu was great, I wish I tried the beef ones. The habanero sauce the shawarma came with was so delicious and perfectly spicy. The hotteok was a little hard to eat as it was falling apart a bit but it was loaded and there were a bunch of different flavors and textures. I mostly tasted citrusy notes, but would have liked to taste more prominent Syrian and Korean flavors. There's very limited seating inside and it acts as both a grocery store and restaurant. The owner was kind and knowledgeable about the menu. I'd go back to try other items.

Bulgogi Kimchi Hummus

Syrian-Korean fusion near Prospect Park! Super casual spot, it's just counter service with a few seats (we lucked out and got the only big table inside). This is a combo I never thought to exist but it was yummy! Portions were big and you could probably split a lot of their items unless you're super hungry; it was a lot of food but the bites were pretty balanced and didn't feel too heavy. So many options for food (they have just Syrian, just Korean, and then Syrian-Korean fusion) but I would recommend the fusion stuff for something new. I got the shawarma hotteok -- hotteok was crispy and Loaded with shawarma and all the works. And then we got the bulgogi kimchi hummus and bulgogi muhammar for the table; they give you pita to dip. Solid dips (the muhammar was my favorite) and really big portion sizes, one is prolly good for 3-4 people to split as a side/appetizer. My friend spoke highly of their fatboy sandwich but they were out when we came (so I guess there shall be a next time). Citron honey slushie was also really good!

Sujok Sandwich

Place some of the best fusion Syrian and Korean food I have had. Unbelievably flavored fries. They are so crispy so crunchy and so delicious. I don't know what sprinkled on them but there's this purple seasoning that is so flavorful. Some of the best fries. We got Lamandu and sojak sandwich. They were recommended by the worker. The first is a tzatziki dumpling fusion recipe. So good to dip the bread and fries from the sojak sandwich. So creamy and thick. The sandwich was on some bread I've never tasted before. Fries were the hero for me. So many fun dipping sauces. All served hot.

In my experience many fusion restaurants don't quite nail it, but Syko does! I never realized that Syrian Korean fusion was missing from my life until I tried this. I really liked the shawarma pizza (although I will say it was a bit too loaded to eat like a normal pizza). The flavors were great, and I hope to try more items from their menu!

Unique and delicious! The place is really takeout but there are a few tables and chairs inside. The service is fast and you can watch the food being prepared. The menu is interesting, some Syrian dishes, some Korean dishes, and a fusion section, street food style. Everything is outstanding, lots of flavor, contrasting textures, and so tasty. Highly recommend this place!

Box Sampler and Meat Shawarma Hotteok
Rose K.

The food looked and smelled so good we forgot to take a picture before diving in. Their fusion menu is fantastic. We recommend the Box Sampler. Note that this is definitely a take out place. While they have some seating, it is limited and we didn't see a restroom available for customers either. That said, you must try SYKO! Very delicious and unique.

Korean-Syrian food? Never heard of it and had to try it! Note this is more of a takeout place rather than sitting and dining - there is only one 3 person table inside and outside only 3 bar chairs. Like most, when I first saw the prices I was a little shocked. Two fat boys sandwiches paid in cash was $40! But once I got the food - oh boy they are LARGE portions. One fat boy can easily feed two people - so if you're trying to save money just buy one and split it between the two of you. I am also sure their pizza and combo plates could easily feed two as well. As a vegetarian, I appreciated all the vegetarian options. I got the tofu kimchi fat boy which consisted of outside being a thick scallion pancake and filling inside being fried tofu coated in cornstarch batter, kimchi, yellow pickled radish, lettuce and rice. It was extremely flavorful! And I loved the sauces that went along with it - if you love a little spice get the habanero sauce on the side (it's not just spicy it has almost a creamy element that I enjoyed greatly). It also came with gochujang sweet sauce and a more almost Chinese based chili oil sauce. I do wish the scallion pancake was more flaky (it's a little thick for my taste) but dipped in sauce was quite yummy. My husband got the beef bulgogi fat boy and loved it. You do save about 12-13 cents per item if you pay in cash, but they do accept card. Parking metered all around.

Now, for the "grab and go" reality check. The service is fast, so fast you might get whiplash from the sheer speed of your order being taken and fulfilled. You can even watch them whip up your food right there at the window, which is either fascinating or slightly terrifying depending on how hungry you are. But here's the kicker: the line. It can get long. We're talking "forming a small, hungry village" long. And once you've got your delicious bounty, don't expect to sprawl out in a plush armchair. There are very few seats, so embrace the "eat standing up like a sophisticated scavenger" vibe or plan to picnic on the nearest park bench.

Love this spot! It's a perfect fusion of two of my favorite cuisines. I tried the shish tawouk wrap and the crispy chicken kimbap. While the shish tawouk took some time to prepare, it was worth the wait--delicious with garlic sauce, seasoned fries, and pickles. The kimbap was just as good, and I really enjoyed it. Overall, a very good experience!

Shawarma hotteok
Farah M.

Amazing food! The fusion is so different and pair so well. I honestly had doubts. The pizza is definitely a must! The chicken poppers were great too! One of the owners was there and he was super nice and gave us his recommendations and even free chicken poppers! It is worth the trip to Brooklyn from literally everywhere. The place is small. Better for take out. Definitely will go back!

Menu as of Sep 2024!

What can I say - this place is amazing! It satisfies the meat lovers but also the vegetarians. You have to come try it out yourself. I love the innovative Syrian + Korean fusion concept. The menu is divided into a Syrian side, a Korean side, and in the middle are the fusion options. The place is small and casual with 3 seating tables outside. We ordered: 1. Shish Taouk pita sandwich (fries inside) 2. Vegetarian platter (3 piece of falafel with 3 dip of your choice, fried cauliflower, grape leaf) 2. Syko shawarma pizza Everything was so good. What I love about the shish taouk sandwhich is they use this thin pita bread and it's toasted to such crispiness. I actually prefer this over the thicker softer pita. The vegetarian platter is every vegetarian's best friend. You can to pick 3 dips (I got the hummus, baba ghanoush, and spinach salad) as well as potato salad. The baba ghanoush is more on the smokier side which I like. Everything tasted very fresh. Now onto the highlight - the enormous Syko shawarmas pizza. My partner had ordered an entire pizza for himself despite the owner kept warning him it's a very sharable size. We certainly were amazed at how loaded the pizza was - you could barely even see the green onion pancake used as the pizza base crust. I love the crunch of the green onion pancake paired with the flavorful shawarma meat and refreshing pickled vegetables. If I wasn't watching my calories I will definitely eat one whole pizza on my own because it was so delicious. Honestly you can easily share this pizza with 4 people and all would be full. Needless to say, we had plenty to take to go for a second and third meal. What are you waiting for !? Come support this amazing establishment!

Muhammara w/ Chicken Poppers and half and half pizza
Imran S.

Come on man, SYrian/ KOrean fusion? That's a first one for me. But the inside joke is that I thought the place was a lot more spacious, because when I walked in , I saw one table and another table against the wall with barstools and had to ask the owner "do you have another location ?", and he mentioned they have a market around the corner (which we went to right after the meal). So my 2 buddies and I ate off this small table with 3 chairs and managed to fit almost everything on the table (okay , there was no room for the drinks, napkins, plates ...just what we ordered haha) So what did we order ? We did their pizza , and couldn't make our mind on the shawarma or felaffel pizza so the brother gave us half and half and we couldn't be more please. Added the bite sized chicken in kbbq sauce and had the Muhammara... everything was absolutely bangin and they were really tending to our needs , getting us utensils and napkins as plates fell on the floor , some of the popcorn chicken casualties... it was one delicious hot mess and we loved it! If you're looking to dine in here, make sure NOT to order too much because it won't fit on the table but do order a lot if you're ordering take out...the fusion really works here !

Chicken shawarma, lemon mint sushi, Baba Ghanoush, & Sujok w/ Cheese Manousheh (Beef)
Ashley L.

Syko was amazing! The chicken shawarma was juicy and full of flavor, and the lemon mint sushi was so refreshing. My boyfriend and I were glad we got to try it before the slushy machine gets put away for the fall, as the owner shifts to sundubu (Korean stews/soups) for the colder season. The baba ghanoush was creamy and delicious, and the sujok with cheese manousheh was packed with flavor. We were also given two dipping sauces--one garlic and one spicy--which paired perfectly with both the shawarma and the sujok. The owner was awesome--he gave great recommendations and kept checking in to make sure we were enjoying everything. The restaurant has turned into more of a deli/grocery setup, but there are still seats for dining in, which made the experience even cozier. Overall, it was such a great meal, and I'll definitely be coming back!

Fries are just perfect- crispy outside, falling apart inside and so soft w light seasoning outside. Service is courteous and kind, the chefs tying kuffiye on young men outside. A true family run restaurant central To the community. I love getting food here and I hope you will too!

The new space is beautiful and open and airy, but sadly the service has dipped. This place used to be almost too fast, we were in and out and we consistently knew we could come here and get out in a very timely manner. But now I literally had to flag down our waitress and I still didn't get her attention, another waitress came over to help us get our check. We also didn't get checked on at all, luckily our food was good and right. The table next to us didn't get greeted for water or anything so they had to flag down the guy delivering food to get a waitress. I thinkkk it may be because the wait staff is servicing here and the location next store but it's really impacted the experience. Totally understand that a lot of places are understaffed, but we've never experienced this before Miriam we love you, but pleaseeeeee stop changing the menu.

Walking through, you get a nice view of the kitchen area, seeing where the magic happens: an exciting way to start the experience! My group decided to share a few things, all of which were delicious. The vegetable pizza (or "pitza" as they style it) was a huge hit: we loved the crust, with its resonant notes of olive oil, and the mozzarella cheese could not have been fresher. The olives and peppers delightfully balanced the cheese and tomatoes, making for an irresistible flavor profile and mouthfeel. Seriously, do not underestimate this formidable pie! The chicken platter came loaded with grilled chicken, hummus, and salad, along with warm, freshly baked pita. Perfect option for the person that wants to take their time sampling a variety of foods. The leg of lamb sandwich, meanwhile, is ready to be consumed at whatever pace you deem fit: indeed, one of our party devoured it voraciously, no crumbs left behind. And finally, we also worked our way through the large feta salad, which turns out to actually be an enormous platter of crumbled feta with some diced tomatoes on top. Don't order this expecting a leafy green salad, it's all cheese! BUT, do order it so that you can add some tangy feta to everything else on the table. It really makes the flavors pop. My first impression of Bedouin Tent was excellent. Service was great and the prices are very fair for the area.
