Black Iris

My friend and I visited this establishment on New Years Eve. The place was empty, but it had a warm inviting feeling. We were greated by two servers who were extremely plesant. I based my order off of their suggestions. I wish I knew exactly how to spell what I got, but everything was great. From the hot mint tea to the fresh warm pita bread to the amazing main course (sorry I can't remember the name) and the almond cake. Yummmmmmmy. I want to equate it comfort food that left me satisfied. And if I haven't highlighted the great food enough, let me tell you about the service. The servers were great and excited about the food. They were extremely warm and I will for sure return. ohhhhhhhhh it's cash only and it's BYOB. Yes, as if this place couldn't get any better... BYOB!!! The prices were even better. You'll love it and will want to go back for a nice date night, dinner with a few friends or even by yourself. I have no complaints other than I don't live in Brooklyn so my next visit may be in a month or two. Hope this posting helped to sway you to pay them a visit !!!

Best babaganoush I've ever tried! All of their dishes are home made and fresh, making it a true middle Eastern meal. The staff is also very friendly, will accommodate for your needs and if necessary replace your order, free of charge. AND it's BYOB, with no charge. A great place to go after work and relax with a bottle of beer or wine, while eating delicious kebabs.

The food here is as good as their Fort Greene outpost. The dishes are very flavorful and well prepared. And the side of pita bread comes piping hot, which is great for dipping into their hummus, baba ganoush, and yogurt & mint spreads. Just come carrying cash because they don't accept credit cards and there isn't a sign letting you know ahead of time. Nonetheless, a wonderful addition to the neighborhood.
