If I'm ever back in town, I'll definitely be returning. A lovely little gem that I'd happily recommend!

The Resek hummus was so good I could not leave a single bite behind and had to ask for more pita just to make sure I ate every single bite. Also the potatos and the artichoke were impressive and delicious. I honestly ate so much through just the apps that I didn't have any room for the actual meal. The wait staff was very quick and eager to give a good experience even though I was in a time crunch. The place was beautifully decorated and had beautiful plants all over. Definitely a place worth checking out the next time you're in Williamsburg.

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.

Our dining experience here was amazing. We were a group of 4 and had a reservation, however when we…read morearrived the previous group was still at our table and we had to wait. The employees were so apologetic and ended up giving us a free round of wine. After about 30 minutes past our reservation time we were seated, and as another apology for waiting we were giving a couple free dishes which was so thoughtful and very much appreciated. The service here is unmatched! We had the hiramasa, chefs fish special of the day, black cod, lamb, mackerel toast, ricotta toast, chicory salad, and corn ribs. It was the perfect amount of food for us without feeling too full. My favorites were the hiramasa, chefs fish special and corn ribs. All the dishes here are so unique and well made. For dessert we shared the chocolate cake which was great as well. Overall this was an amazing experience and the food and drinks were great. The vibe was fun and perfect for a date night or night out with friends.

I love that they book through resy and that they communicate via text. My experience was at 5:30, on a thursday at the chef counter. The server was amazing (forgot her name but will update when i remember), she asked for my name and did an amazing job explaining the menu with recommendations. I tried so many things, but unfortunately i did not take a single picture :(. The food was amazing, i had the sourdough (stole the show for me), tried the strip bass, the lamb and finished with a sorbet. The ambiance and atmosphere were great, not too loud. The dinner at the chefs counter def enhanced the experience for me. Each plate looked perfect and made me want to know what the item was. Highly recommend and looking forward to my next visit

Service was incredibly warm, and our waiter gave helpful recs when navigating the wine menu, which featured mostly wines from Lebanon. For 2, we got: - baba ghannouj - muhammara - dips come with fresh, fluffy, warm pita - batata hara (crispy, spicy fried potatoes with garlic) - heirloom tomato (with garlic toum and sunflower seeds) - octopus - lamb chops Everything was delicious and extremely flavorful! The heirloom tomatoes were a standout dish: fresh, packed tons of flavor, and I loved how everything went together. The waiter mentioned they're seasonal and will be swapped out for something for the fall season soon. Dips and potatoes were excellent. Octopus was the one weaker spot. The skewer was a bit small and the preparation left the meat a little lackluster and chewy (I'm picky with my octopus!) The lamb chops were very tender with tons of flavor - char, mint, meat. A bit heavy but might just be because I don't eat a ton of red meat. I was VERY full by the end of the meal! I think we could have done 1-2 fewer dishes and still been very satisfied, but I'm glad I got to try so many things. The mains took a while to come out, though I enjoyed the longer, non-rushed, 'let's chat over delicious bites for hours' feeling of the meal overall. Great dining experience. The bill came to about ~$100 per person for the above + a drink (one wine, one mocktail) each. Between the fantastic ambiance, service, and high quality flavors, I found it to be worth the price and great for a treat yourself outing, date, or special occasion.

Made a reservation for dinner on a Thurs night and tried: + Seaside snap cocktail + Coco logic cocktail + Hummus with Wagyu beef cheek and pine nuts + Baba ghannouj + Snap peas with labneh + Muhammara + sfeeha - baked lamb pies + lamb ribs Cocktails were fine - would get wine next time. Food was excellent, with my favorite dish being the lamb ribs. Baba ghannouj, snap peas and sfeeha were all delicious as well. I do prefer the muhammara at Miss Ada, but would order the rest of the dips (and hummus) here again. 4.5 stars.

The views make up for a lot of it, and the hummus is just so good. It's hard to stop eating the pita bread that comes with things and service is quite good. This spot must be making huge margins and I do wish there was a legit dessert, not just soft serve, but you can get more downstairs if you go there. I do think there is quite a hype, but I also haven't had anything I don't like here, so maybe the hype is actually justified.

SERVICE - located on the rooftop of the Hoxton hotel in…read moreWilliamsburg - Rooftop is covered so it can be enjoyed at all times of year - Stunning views of manhattan along the east river - Better to make a reservation especially during weekend brunch - Service was friendly and welcoming and able to make accommodations for dietary preferences - Food served relatively quickly - Ambiance good for a semi casual meal - Tables can accommodate both large and small groups MENU - Israeli appetizer platter with an entree of choice - Vegan/vegetarian options available - Seems pricey but considering the appetizers are unlimited I would consider it average price FOOD - Roasted eggplant (9/10): grilled eggplant served on a bed of muhammara topped with walnuts and parsley. This was such a fresh yet hearty entree. The insides of the eggplant are silky smooth and almost melt in your mouth. The muhammara is a nutty red pepper based dip that adds a strong punch of acidic yet sweet flavor while the nuts bring in an earthy crunch. Paired with the hummus from the salatim, it makes a very satisfying entree. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! They change the salatim and entrees regularly so I would be curious to see what they have at other times of the year.

Visited Al Badawi on Atlantic Avenue with a party of four. We had originally hoped to add a fifth…read moreperson to our reservation, but unfortunately they were unable to accommodate the extra person. Lesson learned: if you're going with a group, make sure you have your final number when making the reservation because adding someone later may not be possible. We started with the Mezzi Filistini, a mixed platter of babaganoush, muhammara, tabbouleh, salata, tahini and labneh. This was very good, and we tackled it with zest, devouring it with the accompanying pita bread. We also ordered the falafel, chicken shawarma platter and beef kebab platter. The chicken shawarma was decent, but I would have loved more chicken and bigger pieces. There was considerably more rice than chicken, which made the platter feel a little unbalanced. The beef kebab was better, with a good portion of meat and rice, and the accompanying vegetables weren't too bad either. One disappointment for me was the lack of a proper hot sauce. Something with a little heat and flavor would have paired really well with both the shawarma and kebab and, for me, would have elevated the meal. Overall, the food was good and the ambiance was pleasant. Service was also good for the most part, although I was disappointed that we weren't asked if we were interested in dessert before wrapping up the meal. Al Badawi is probably a place I would try again, but not one I'm in a rush to return to anytime soon.
