You walk in, seat yourself and go up to the register to order your food. The cashier was very friendly and helpful, and when I completely spilled my tea he served me a new one. The atmosphere and mood are both laid back and the food couldn't have been fresher. Prices are fair, my pizza costing $11 and my fiancé's dish costing $12. This will become a regular spot for us! read less

The atmosphere is comfy and warm, although the door to enter is a bit hard to operate. I particularly liked the Bulgarian Waffle, it took the cake for the best waffle I've ever had. Their real maple syrup only added to the powdered sugar wonder that was that waffle. I'd recommend this place to anyone who wants something delicious to eat. read less

I originally came in for a cup of cocoa after sledding, but after seeing the menu I decided I'd just sit down and have lunch! They have all the brunch classics but with their own Mediterranean twist...as well as some very traditional dishes for more adventurous eaters. Highly recommend! read less

I forgot to take pictures of the menu but nothing here is very expensive and it's good for a quick bite or a good meal. I had the smoked salmon sandwich which tasted very fresh, light and a nice crunchy toasted bread. There was also some veggies like tomatoes and peas inside which gave so much more mesmerizing flavor. I also tried the original flatbread pizza that is 12 inches which doesn't really look that big when it's out but by the time you're done it won't even matter because you'll be so full. Sauce was light, crust was crunchy, and cheese was cheesy. The place has a few tables and the it's very chill since there's some people who just order something small and just sit and chat with friends or just reas a book so it looks like a nice place to relax and if you get takeout you could even go to prospect park. read less

Great people too good service. Totally worth every penny and the experience. Thanks ZAte here again after 3 months and love it even more. It's a BYOB which I had no idea and the Harissa is still a killer LOVE IT read less
This little gem has amazing food! Cute little place in the heart of buschwick - perfect for a quick brunch. The pita bread was delish, shakshuka was the perfect consistency, a great place to fulfill your Israeli craving! The staff is not very friendly but the food makes up for it.

My friend and I both had the chicken shwarma sandwich and shared the fries. The chicken shwarma was very flavorful and nice portion and the fries were so delicious with the zatar sprinkled on top. I really enjoyed the food and the vibe overall and would return to try other items.The only bad comment I have to make is that the same song kept playing on repeat which after a while can drive someone crazy. I don't know how the staff there does not change the music up since they have to listen to it all day. read less
