A small and non-pretentious restaurant, but with great, great food. The zatar bread alone is worth it. This pita encrusted with a dark green thyme-sesame-seed-olive oil rub always sends me into mini fits of delight (uh, huh – I said it.). Freshly made pita bread comes to you puffed up almost spherical. A bowl of their lentil soup with lemon always hits the right spot. And of course, the price is right.
They also have a back garden, which I think is wonderful. Its probably not special, but somehow it always makes me happy to walk into their garden, especially in the summer. In the winter they cover it in a tent and warm it up with those tall standing stoves and cover the walls in draping cloths. Atmosphere galore!
Not sure why this place has been overlooked. But if you're near Park Slope and need something to eat. Stop by here and then hop onto to Q train and watch as it rides over the East River.
