Wow this place is amazing. And the staff is the sweetest! Seeing all the plates come out of the kitchen, I wish I could have ordered everything. Definitely coming back again. Can’t believe we didn’t have a restaurant like this in the neighborhood until now.
Erin F. 12/31/2019 Love this place so much!! I like to have Sunday breakfast here. I always get the halloumi sandwich with a cold brew. It's so delicious and I'm sure everything else on the menu is too. The servers are very attentive and nice.

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
Michael B. 11/03/2019 When I want a healthier option they’re my go to. I get the kabob, hummus and pita, sometimes shawarma. I’ve ordered plenty of times and I appreciate the consistency.
Jacob T. 7/26/2022 Whoa! Just had their chicken kabob meal..
Motoki Y. 10/06/2019
Real tender chicken. Tasty rice and salad. This place won’t disappoint. Happy I work nearby.

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

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.

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
