Middle Eastern Restaurant · East Village · 80 tips and reviews
Eater: Brunch here spans from classic French to classic Middle Easter cuisine. Menu includes shakshuka, kafta benedict, and an "Au Za'atar Breakfast," served with eggs, pita, & a selection of mezze. Read more.
Dens: Foursquare tips did not do us wrong -- kebabs are great, cauliflower is great. The pita & hummus & olive oil you get right after you sit may be the best part tho. a bit pricey. I bet brunch is killer
Village Voice: Get a taste of the traditional Arabian French vegetarian dishes. Have the fatteh al-betenjane ($13), eggplant topped with toasted pita bread & smothered with garlic yogurt sauce and sautéed pine nuts. Read more.

An Occes: Everything about this place is amazing. The wait staff, bartenders, the patrons and the ambiance makes for a nice date, party or lounge spot. My new favorite place in NYC!
Aysha: Red Sangria is to die for. Sit upstairs for a more intimate experience. Crab cakes are delicious!
Sanjeev Sreetharan: probably the nicest hookah bar ive been to, more of a lounge feel. The music is too loud though

Lou Carulli: Great place for a quick lunch. Great variety of food from salads, pasta, pizza and sandwiches. On par with Eataly but you have room to sit most of the time and if not the park is across the street.
Penny S: Free wifi - you know you want it.
Genevieve Gorder: The Bloody marys are famous, secret ingredient...dill
