Food was phenomenal! We took the bartender advise and had the special chicken with lemon wedge potatoes! Simply Devine! I would absolutely come back for the food and the bartender was incredibly sweet. Quaint restaurant with at home atmosphere. Baklava was excellent and a great finish for an amazing meal.

Falafel Platter

Ordered a "falafel platter," got four undressed falafel balls sitting on top of fries with no pita or salad.

Food was good, the owner said everything was home made. Portions are large. Cute small ambiance

a menu header that does not reflect what they offer. person there tried to tell me i am wrong. i am not illiterate.

caution when ordering online!!! sometimes they are closed and keep site up online and take your money and don't instantly resolve or update their site to reflect their business hours. On top of that: the items on menu are not what you are served. i have a limited lunch break and was told my order was ready. when i arrived, my steak sandwich with fries had no fries. asked if they could remedy, they tried to tell me that the item didn't come with a side when it CLEARLY states that sandwiches and burgers come with fries. otherwise it makes for overpriced average food. haven't left a review on yelp in years. this was the final straw. will not be returning. :/

Excellent clean Greek food in a cozy cafe reminiscent of those you'd find on the market streets of many Greek islands. Treated like family from the time I walked in. Will be back soon, don't sleep on this neighborhood gem.

Best Greek food in Brooklyn. Don't skip the lemon potatoes - Isador, the owner, is a nice gentleman and host.

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.

really cozy and lively mediterranean restaurant in fort greene!…read more- loved how subtly smokey the sweet potato hummus was and the whipped ricotta was sooo velvety and sweet - the crispy cauliflower was one of the best single dishes i've had in a while. how they got the exterior so crunchy is magic - half brick chicken was cooked perfectly and a bit olive forward. and i don't even like olives but i still quite enjoyed it

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.

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.

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.

It wasn't a full establishment at this time. There wasn't water brought to the table. I I had to keep repeating to him about water . Imagine she had to watch me eat my entire meal and hers didn't come. When I mentioned it he said she didn't order. The food wasn't as fresh or good as it was in the past . It was not worth it. The hostess had a few of her teenage friends visiting her at her station. Those friends were not employees or patrons. They were obnoxiously loud and aggressive in their tone of voice. It was extremely distracting to me I was unable to enjoy my meal. If I didn't look at her she would not have asked her friends to lower it down . I at one time recommended this over and over again. Now don't waste your time or money . It went down hill with food and customer service. I had multiple occasions here in the past not any more ..
