Don't be discouraged by its tame look, the food is great and the drinks stout, cheap and very enjoyable. My goto place as a New Yorker.
M MDecember 31, 2015Good brunch. I liked the eggs with labna with a side of chicken & pistachio sausage.
LauraAugust 10, 2011Great brunch spot. Sit outside, nurse a cup of coffee (and/or a hangover) and order the smoked salmon and cream cheese omelette. Delicious.
Kathleen CorlessNovember 1, 2016Tunisian eggs are good, the pita is perfect, great coffee and friendly attentive service
Abigail KofflerJune 30, 2015Patio suggestions: Diana's breakfast with eggs, hummus and tabouli AND a French 75.
Maja DrabczykJune 20, 2015Lively place with lovely and healthy brunch options. The green omelette is simply amazing!
Sam WinnickFebruary 17, 2015I love the brunch here. The potato pancake with fried eggs is awesome!!!
Sarah SeedsApril 22, 2012Brunch is AMAZING. Mimosa + Huevos Rancheros = WIN. Steak and eggs, smoked salmon bagel, AND the breakfast sandwich are also winners.
Im surprised this is listed as a breakfast place when they have such a great dinner menu. Chicken Schnitzel is fantastic.
Ms HeleneMarch 24, 2012Bustling and busy spot due to the prices and generous servings for brunch. The smoked salmon salad was a bit underwhelming though. Plain dressing and lots of leaves and celery.
BravoNovember 11, 2010East Village location where every meal is cheap and delicious. Always impressed. -Eric Wolitzky, Top Chef Just Desserts
My favorite place for steak and eggs! The pumpkin pa cakes are also great.
Kathryn PhillipsApril 3, 2015Everything is good. Great brunch. Get there before 10 to avoid the wait
Michael TiffanyJanuary 13, 2012Order the humbly named chicken sausage on the side. It's house-made, and it's astounding, with pistachios and brilliant spices.
Sarah OngSeptember 26, 2015For appetizers, try the avocado toast and hummus with mushrooms. Soo good! 😋
MichaelJanuary 24, 2017Nothing particularly outstanding here, just good fresh Middle Eastern influenced food in a home-style setting.
Chris BruceMarch 8, 2015If you like bacon, the eggs blackstone is a nice variation on eggs benedict for you
Colin AdamsMay 22, 2016Great breakfast with something for everyone from healthy options to the classics. Can't go wrong with the breakfast special!
BrianSeptember 7, 2010Date #21, Martha: Awesome brunch place—a great deal. Just think twice when you order the brunch gimlet. It is bright pink and is served in a martini glass..........
Susan LohMarch 3, 2012if you're feeling adventurous, get the malawach. delicious fried dough, fresh tomato relish, and eggs. unbeatable!
Steak & eggs is my go to choice at brunch. Coffee is delicious.
No other brunch spot exists when Cafe Orlin exists. Steak and eggs and a cappuccino and a heavenly Sunday morning is had by all.
StephanieApril 19, 2014Very good food and wait was less than 20 minutes at noon on a sunny Saturday!
Brittany WynnJune 12, 2016Just about everything, pastas, sandwiches, salads, iced chais, soups, breakfast.
Gabrielle ShinerAugust 11, 2013Great classic brunch spot with a couple vegan options. Also has outdoor seating!
The smoked salmon with eggs, potatoes, and hollandaise sauce is amazing. So is the brioche French toast. Best brunch I've had in NYC!- Eva GuadamillasSeptember 27, 2015Eggs Norwegian are consistently better than anywhere else I've been for brunch
Doris NeubauerDecember 19, 2012The Hijiki is something to try -one of those weird plates where is both heavy and light at the same time. Lots of flavor.
Paul NoceraJune 17, 2010great menu, not a mile long, so what they offer is well prepared every time. always good for a destination if there is a snow storm or an electical blackout.
Classic East Village brunch. Everything is good but pumpkin pancakes are the best.- Simran JaisingJanuary 27, 2013delicious group brunch spot. middle eastern twist is integrated into brunch staples. pita replaces bread.
Jamie DorfmanJanuary 30, 2013Babaganoush is amazing. Great deals on wine. The cod special was perfect!
Cadiea SchusterJanuary 13, 2014Such a cute place with great service! Brunch here was an enjoyable experience! :)
Keri .June 12, 2011Ever Anthony bourdain's Mediterranean episode? Get the labne cheese w/ pita as a side. It's like gooey cream cheese drenched in honey.

"Still has the old NY feel, it's a great spot to people watch or hang out in the nice weather with a book. Plenty of good food and bars around. Beautiful in the spring and home to a family of Hawks"
