Remarkably good. Each and every dish (fish tacos, chicken tacos, lamb burrito) was packed with flavor. Homemade hot sauce is amazing. Staff is so nice. Food came out fast. Arguably the best tacos we've had in NYC and among the best restaurants from a food quality POV in Brooklyn. Will be returning!

Everything here was fantastic, but the fish tacos were an absolute standout! Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was just as great. Good music, great vibes, and an overall amazing dining experience. Highly recommend!

The food is so so delicious! The dips were really yummy and the watermelon feta dish was fantastic. The tacos were super tasty as well. The owner of the restaurant is incredibly kind and generous. This is a Cobble Hill gem.

I had an incredible dining experience at this restaurant! I tried the lentil soup, labneh, muhammara, and avocado hummus, and every dish was absolutely delicious—so fresh and full of flavor. The highlight, aside from the amazing food, was the service. Karam, our server, was so attentive and kind, making sure we had everything we needed. The hospitality really elevated the experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and excellent service! Will definitely be coming back.

Stylish, cozy atmosphere and flavorful, fresh food! We ordered the chicken shawarma and halloumi tacos, branzino, and a bunch of spreads. The avocado hummus was *chefs kiss*. The owner was so so welcoming and let us try their incredible pistachio rice pudding dessert (pictured above.) immaculate vibes. I will be bringing all my friends here whenever I’m in the area!!

Great spot with delicious food! Arrived on a whim and was impressed. Crispy tacos were excellent and the lamb burrito was delightful. Baked cheese was salty and delicious. The mystery green sauce is phenomenal. Very kind staff.

Stopped by this small and cozy restaurant with some friends since we have never seen a Lebanese Taqueria fusion before and it was great! Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend the baked feta queso for those who like some spice and the makanek batata is a must try as I loved the pomegranate sauce in that dish.

Run! Don’t walk to enjoy the best meal of your life. The food is tasty and unique. I promise there is something on this menu you haven’t even dreamed of trying: and it’s better than you could imagine. I have never had lamb it’s equal. Never. Top of the list: the Lulu, lamb burrito and the crunchy taco (the spiciest of the three) The watermelon salad is the perfect palette cleanse between dishes. The beet salad had this Estonian smiling and the fish tacos were a treat. Do yourself a favor and go now. Elevated cuisine in a comfortable space.
