    Bay Ridge Mid-Eastern: TT recos: lamb fetti, raw kibbie and roasted Brussels sprouts (with pomegranate molasses and labaneh)

    A $2.25 subway ride to Bay Ridge is all that stands between you and Rawia Bishara’s sublime Middle Eastern food. Some go for the lamb, while others go for the colorful salads and appetizers.

    How does one leave a tip? You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Try the fatoush, califlower & musakhan. All authentic dishes & large portions! A bit loud at the venue but food will compensate!

    This is probably the only restaurant that makes people jealous of Bay Ridge. Suffer the R and stop by Tanoreen. It's worth the trip.

    I got chicken shawarma sandwich- awful.Pita is not fresh. And extremely citric. Lots of oil, few tomatoes shreds, sm chicken.Babaghanoush made of vinegar. Never again #pitapan the best place.

    Not worth the hype--but still delicious. Food was heavier than expected. I expected more depth in meat spice marinations.
