Stephanie CesearJune 7, 2017Great Mediterranean spot! Wine list is long and delicious. Everything on the menu is great, but I recommend the hummus and fresh pita bread. Also good for Paleo, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free or Dairy-Free.
NowThis NewsFebruary 19, 2013Go with a small group and just order EVERY small plate to share (there are 9 of them). Add some house red wine to the mix and you'll be so happy.
Himanshu GuptaAugust 15, 2019We had a mezze style dinner here and everything was delicious. Portions were generous. I highly recommend falafel, hummus and cauliflower!
Maya RAugust 8, 2014Fish is great. Eggplant is delicious as is the ceviche. I found that everything started tasting the same given that the dishes we ordered all had labne and similar spices, but it was all super good.
Emma CramerDecember 26, 2014Hip Israeli food with friendly staff. Go for the lentil beet salad and the crazy baba. Not usually a babaganoush fan but they do it really well.
Tom TomOctober 14, 2012Awesome ambience. Sabich sandwich was the best sabich I've ever had and the home fries were great to share with table. Also, get the ice cream with halva, cardamom drizzle. etc. and thank me later.
A really wonderful place, they make excellent use of the grill. There is a lot of great flavors on the table. Reasonably priced, and while its byob, its the best value for sit-down dining.
Bobby NooromidOctober 14, 2012Head Chef Nir Mesika, who hails from top restaurants in Tel Aviv and Milan, has transcended the scope of any single culture by blending the flavors of Israel, Italy, Algeria and Greece. A must try.
Michelle KJuly 15, 2013was in the area and bumped into this place. It was worth bumping into because this place was AMAZING. The décor inside is beautiful and the food is equally as amazing.
Daniel CruzJune 24, 2013Seriously delicious and filling, crazy baba was out of this world! Pair the spices with a Liberty Ale and finish desert with the Anchor Porter and thank me later!
Doreen PeledMay 8, 2014Great Israeli restaurant. The crazy baba is garlicky and delicious. Make sure to say yes to the in house hot sauce, it's nothing like American hot sauce.
TeaOctober 7, 2016Authentic Middle Eastern food. Delicious spices, very good meat, amazing hummus, fresh bread. Friendly staff. Perfect dinner experience.
Adi ShelegDecember 5, 2015Everything was delicious!! The shawarma was great and the french toast was amazing!! Who ever thought about putting halve on french toast is a genius!
Serious EatsJanuary 8, 2013We love just about everything at this homey restaurant, but especially the small plates, sandwiches, falafel, and shakshuka.
Alice QFebruary 13, 2015The food is so good here. Can't go wrong on the menu. The brunch is curiously cheap for how much you get. Just don't get the michelada.
Omer StrulovichJanuary 4, 2015Modern Israeli food done right, feels like some took a good restaurant from the middle of Tel Aviv and placed it Williamsburg.
Logan WieczorekMarch 11, 2014The Crazy BaBa is crazy delicious!!!! Highly recommend getting a couple plates of that. Ask for extra pita because they don't give enough!
LorenSeptember 18, 2016Wow. Loved everything. The roast cauliflower was the most memorable. For a vegetarian, we shared several small dishes.
Sahil FarooqiOctober 16, 2012Thus place is great. The food is excellent and fresh. Don't forget to order Zizi humus to share. Plus the chef is super cute.
Daniel L.July 5, 2013Modern Israeli? Go for the Crazy Baba: a bowl of babaganoush blended with feta and basil. The basbosa semolina cakes are great, too.
Tom WolfsteinSeptember 5, 2015Excellent food. Everything was tasty and interesting. Unclear why this place isn't full all the time.
IainFebruary 5, 2018Best place to eat in Williamsburg. I’ve eaten here a dozen times and it never fails to impress.
Elysia MannMarch 27, 2016Babaganoush was excellent. Waitstaff here is so nice and fun and pleasant and helpful.
Kristina RudicOctober 20, 2015Make sure to come with people that love to share! Be sure to order the hummus and shawarma, among other things.
TanFebruary 24, 2018The salmon with cauliflower and artichokes was delicious!! And the staff is great!
Jag FirerwalkerJune 12, 2016Mediteranien breakfast is truly amazing and their starters are just fingerlicking good
Melissa RosenthalMarch 1, 2015One of the best Mediterranean spots in Williamsburg. Highly recommended!
Meric AkkanDecember 4, 2015Probably the best Mediterranean food I had in NYC. Try Crazy Baba for sure
Shakshuka all night and Turkish coffee makes for a great late brunch option even though it officially ends at 5.
Great food. Lovely atmosphere. Make sure to try the Crazy Baba. And the Fattoush Salad is fantastic!
ChelseaJuly 11, 2013New York Magazine Cheap Eats issue recommends crazy baba ($6), Aunt Trippo's falafels ($7), and babosa semolina cake ($7).
Donald RichardsonApril 1, 2016Lamb kebob was really good but I felt the food was a little expensive for the quantity. Great service.
I haven't had a thing here that wasn't absolutely delish. The pumpkin appetizer is unbelievable.
Ben GaspariniAugust 14, 2016Crazy baba is crazy good. Cool drinks from far away places. Servers work hard.
Abigail BesdinApril 8, 2013Not sure why everyone isn't eating here always. Fav Mediterranean food in NYC. Try the Tershi.
