EaterEater: 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.

DensDens: 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 VoiceVillage 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.

John H.John H: Nice decor and delicious appetizers. We had the taboleh salad and it was the best one I ever had in the city. I tried the musachan as an entree, it was outstanding as well. Will be back

SaleemSaleem: Vegetarian dishes were lackluster. Cauliflower was ok, Mahshi ehh. Restaurant seems half done (e.g. tables in rear are under stark lights and over vibrating machinery in basement). Too bad.
