I normally order delivery from this spot but I went there for the first time to eat at the restaurant. Everything was yummy per usual. The interior is cozy, intimate, and the music was very relaxing.

We were the only dine in customers. They brought us water immediately. The appetizers were excellent, though I feel the staff is not good at explaining the dishes. The Lamb saagwala is good. I wanted to try new things, so the only known thing I ordered was garlic naan. I can't handle hot spicy food, so I deliberately asked before choosing my food choices.

Delicious! Great place for casual eating with well made, flavorful (spicy in the best way) food. I also loved the decor- cozy. Also very clean.

Discovered this gem after moving to the neighborhood. Hands down best Indian cuisine I’ve had. Plus the interior is so cozy and calm, pretty quiet so you can have nice conversation. A great way to end the day 🙌

Pretty tasty burgers and decently priced considering the area. The retro atmosphere is cute but could be a lot more appealing if the restaurant itself was better taken care of (cleaned). This is an order at the counter restaurant and not a sit down service restaurant however the counter service could be somewhat more customer oriented. Other than that the food itself is this restaurant’s saving grace. A delicious and well seasoned burger paired with crisp salty fries can never disappoint. The bacon and fried egg was a stellar addition. 😋

I went here with friends. There is a large selection of beers and cider on tap. They can also make cocktails here. It’s relatively quiet and has a nice open/spacious vibe. It’s close to the subway so I’d definitely return.

Came here for the first time on Sunday evening with my friend and her dog. We sat outside, it wasn't too loud so we were able to chit chat without issue. The staff were lovely and the food was delicious. There was no wait for a table and the food came out quickly as well. Will definitely be back.

Love this place!! Food is fantastic, and the outdoor seating is beautiful! Service was a little slow, and a few mistakes were made to our order, but there were a lot of people and tables to serve, so we didn’t mind too much. Definitely on the louder side, especially on weekends — can be difficult to hear people sitting right by you. DJs are fun and play decent music. Continually come back to this place, and will not stop.

Not for me, I don’t love dive bars… it’s cool for drinking and game nights. People go there a lot. There’s audio on sports games 🤷🏾‍♂️

Came to for a girls day with my friends and toddler. I was a little nervous at first, but the staff went above and beyond. The drinks were amazing and so was the food. We have not designated this "our spot" which means we will be back very soon. We look forward to trying new items on the menu.

A nice elevated Mexican neighborhood restaurant in the crown heights / prospect heights area. As we walked in, this place immediately got a line out the door, it gets packed on the weekends! The food was solid. The Plato don Carne was quite good, the chicken imo was better than the steak. The enchiladas mariscos was okay. The shrimp and crabmeat were good. Salmon was an odd choice for a filling. Mole was standard mole, nothing too insane. The pozole was one of the better pozoles I’ve had. The ceviche was fresh and delicious! Salsas were fine and the guacamole was fresh. Overall, I think I would come back and try some different stuff.

Everything I've tried was delicious. Guacamole was very tasty. My drinks were refreshing and outstanding. Service was absolutely AMAZING !!!! Out server was nice and professional. We felt like special guests there. I will definitely come back.

The food we ordered was disappointing. We love Mexican food & I have made multiple trips to Mexico, but this food was blah. The Huevos Rancheros were inedible, and the tacos also tasted off. The best things were the guacamole & homemade tortilla chips, and the quesadillas, but even these were just okay, not great, just okay. Also, the food was overpriced for the area and what you get. Perhaps this place used to be better, or this was an off day. We’ve eaten much better Mexican food in the East Village, our neighborhood. On our way out we noticed they have a “B” sanitary rating, this may explain part of the problem. The plates & glasses were a bit dirty.

Chavela's is a lovely restaurant which checks many of the boxes. The servers were professional and excellent. The food was quick in coming and tasted amazing. The music in the background was loud enough to hear but not drown conversations. Went on a Sunday around noon, the place was busy but thankfully as a party of two we did not have to wait. I recommend Chavela's.

We were there on Tuesday, July 29th for my man 64th birthday party! We had an absolute blast!! The place was beautiful inside! The service, the food and the drinks were excellent!! The DJ was the absolute best!! A friendly atmosphere! My man had the time of his life!! This is definitely a “Happy Place”! Thanks to all staff in this fine establishment!

Went there for dinner on a Saturday evening and had a great time. The restaurant was full but not too crowded. The music was 90s hip-hop/r&b that I found myself really enjoying. The best part was the food. The food is amazing!!! I got salmon with candied yams and collard greens. Absolutely amazing! Everything was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back and I 100% recommend it to anyone that loves soul food.

Went here with some friends for brunch and was a bit disappointed. For starters upon arrival the restaurant looks closed for the outside , luckily one of the staff members were outside and invited me in. Upon entering, the restaurant is very spacious and clean.( I can easily see this as the perfect venue to throw an event) . I ended up getting there way ahead of my two friends and the bartender took pity on me and offered me a mimosa on the house, which tasted amazing. Once my friends arrived, we ordered a plethora of food ranging from chicken and waffles, steak and eggs, fish and grits along with a picture of mimosas. my friend seem to enjoy their food. However, I thought the food was a bit underwhelming (I had the chicken and waffles). please know this is personal preference and also know that I’ve brunched quite a bit, and this was very underwhelming to me simply on taste. My friends seem to have enjoyed their food and didn’t make any complaints. The service was great and not too long after my friends arrived, so did the DJ. Pros: Very nice vibey atmosphere, especially once the music is going. The staff are very nice and accommodating as they needed to be a few changes made to one of my friends order because she is vegetarian. Although I did not like my food, the portion sizes were really good, especially for the price and they have vegetarian options. CONS: when they have brunch, that is the only thing available to order which sucks because the brunch menu is very limited in comparison to their dinner menu. I do think I’ll return as I do think they’re done the menu is much more appealing to me. It seems like the night scene is where it’s at up in there lololol. So for now until next time as I’ll definitely be back..

Wow, this place was great. It was recommended to us, and it lived up to the expectations. The server was cool. She made small talk with us. The drinks were strong. Thank you to the bartender. You must try the Ohhhh Weeeee. Had two, and I am feeling it. No, i was not driving. The food was fresh cooked to order. So expect a little wait. You will not be disappointed. I recommend the salmon burger. It was moist. Cook to perfection.

Leah was EVERYTHING—our waitress, bartender, and host all in one! She took our order without even writing it down and nailed it. Drinks? On point. Service? No delays. The atmosphere was pure vibes—grown folks only. We had to head out for the Travis Malloy show, but the DJ was just getting started and it was about to be a whole *vibe*. **All the food was good**—from start to finish. And don’t sleep on the cornbread… cinnamon and butter topping? *Yyyyyyyeeeeeesssss!* The bill for four was more than fair, and the energy at the bar was live—people were laughing, dancing, and just having a good time. Big love to Brooklyn for the invite. We’ll definitely be back. Cause guess what? *We outside!*

Your average Starbucks. Great drinks, service, and interior design. My issue though, is that it's too packed almost all the time. The space is too small and seating is not enough to accommodate the amount of customers.

Welcome to the gem of the neighborhood, a bar that’s not just a place to drink, but a destination to unwind! With a menu that’s small but oh-so-dependable, every bite is a delightful surprise. The tap selection is a treasure trove of flavors, and trust me, you’ll want to sample them all over time. The atmosphere is as laid-back as a Sunday afternoon, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the company of friends. This bar is destined to become your new favorite hangout! I’ve only tried the smash burgers and wings so far, and let me tell you, they were absolutely scrumptious. The beer selection on tap is equally impressive, offering a variety to suit every taste. Don’t miss out on their daily specials, like the fantastic $18 beer and burger deal that runs until 7 PM. It’s a steal and a reason to visit every day!

I come here frequently. Great bar food, signature cocktails or just beer on tap. Entertainment on select days of the week.

Great wholesome food full of amazing flavors. A true ital experience! Loved everything we got and would totally come back to try more of the food.
Mandy Kuo - 6 months ago

Ital Kitchen is a delightful culinary experience that brings vibrant Caribbean flavors to life. The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with bold and authentic tastes. I tried the [specific dish], and it was flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Everything was fresh, and the portions were generous, making it well worth the price. The service, however, was a bit inconsistent. While the staff was friendly and welcoming, the wait time for food was longer than expected. It seemed like they were slightly understaffed, but they made up for it with their warm hospitality and positive attitude. The atmosphere is cozy and laid-back, with colorful and eclectic decor that truly captures the Caribbean vibe. The outdoor seating area is charming and a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal with friends. I spent around $20–30 per person, which is reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes. I went for dinner, and I would recommend going early or making a reservation, as it can get quite busy. Overall, Ital Kitchen is a hidden gem with incredible food and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. If you’re craving authentic Caribbean vegetarian cuisine, this is the place to be. I’ll definitely be coming back!

This cozy restaurant was like stopping by a family members house for a good home cooked meal. In this case sooooo good. We ordered the Ital Veggie Jerk Chicken and the Thai-Fi Stew. Absolutely delicious, seasoned well, and made with a whole lot of love. Then we ordered the carrot cake. It was so good that we ordered another piece and it was the last piece of cake. We will be back.
DELLAM - a year ago

I thought I came over to my family's house to have dinner the way the service was so homely. Even the customers who came in after us I thought were friends with the owner due to the comfortable conversation they were having. Amazing place to have something healthy to eat late in the evening. Intimate, warm, cozy, and full with love and gorgeous plants. Mix max colorful caribbean-style decorated spot. We were going to take it to go, but decided to stay and enjoy the lovely atmosphere. It's not a place for large groups, but a romantic date or hanging out with a couple of friends would be fitting. We can't wait to return and try other dishes on the menu.
Jahmira Kingsmor - 11 months ago

Michael (the owner) is the NICEST. Lovely eclectic decor, lots of seating for a small place. Food was uniformly great: tender, moist, well-seasoned. The veggie jerk chicken was particularly awesome! Also, don’t miss the “Yes I” smoothie.

A true hidden gem. Best pizza in NY. We love dropping in for a slice and we ended up ordering Joe and Sal’s for our casual rehearsal welcome party before our wedding. Everything was amazing and they even threw in extras. Their communication, kindness and of course the food, was above and beyond. Thank you Joe, Sal and your team for being the best!
Alexis Eftink - 2 months ago

Really friendly people & the flavorful pepperoni had an excellent crispetycrunchety bottom (a perfectly cromulent word and I’m talking NO sagging) with still a nice bready end crust. I’ll be happy to pay 4.50 a slice again! Oh and a good amount of indoor seating.
Emily McWilliams - a week ago

Okay. If you call to order, you might get put on hold - but it’s worth the wait. Joe & Sal’s is a small shop with big flavor. Some of the best, no-frills pizza I’ve ever had. The dough, cheese, flavors, quality and customer service are top tier. Will definitely return.

Neighborhood gem ✨️ I have been coming to this place almost every week. Sometimes multiple times a week. It's my go-to pizza spot. I have introduced 3 people to this place and they are all hooked so it is a tried, tested, and proven best pizza spot in Crown Heights. My #1 go-to is the La-Burrata pie. Thin crust, fresh burrata cheese, fresh basil, and tomato... it all just melts in your mouth. Next, is the Nonna pizza if you're into Sicilian style. Yum! My tip is to get a full pie instead of slices because A) it will be freshly baked. B) much cheaper that way. Their pasta is also really good. The penne alla pesto and fettuccine alfredo are what I have tried so far. I will update when I try more. This place has history and a reputation as a solid pizza joint. Dave Portnoy, the pizza guru, gave this place an 8.1. But I round that up and give it a solid 9. There's enough seating area and Tiffany lamps for added aesthetics and a vintage feel. They also have a memory wall with pictures and notes of people who have made memories in this place. And of course, the Godfather references and an Al Pacino portrait 😉

Best pizza in New York City 11/10 August 22: just came here again. The staff was very helpful with picking the right pizza. We ordered 3 grandpa pies, OMGZ phenomenal pizza. We ate some cold later, and it almost tasted even better lol Cant recommend enough. What an amazing spot

Sandwiches and wraps ordered at the counter further away from the main entrance. At the closer counter, one orders smoothies and blended or pressed juices. Clean bathroom with wallpaper imprinted with sights from Brooklyn. Bottled and can refreshments from a reach-in refrigerator. Al fresco seating is available.

Visited this location 3 times. Bagels are excellent and not to mention the coffee and healthy juices. Lots of different cream cheeses to choose from. All delicious.
Edd Rustrian - 5 months ago

I wish I could do a 4.7… Bagel Pub is the only time I eat a bagel. House made products from bagels to the smoothies. Gluten free options! My only thing is way too much cream cheese for me. Might be great for others, but too much for me. If you don’t like cream cheese, ask for less. Otherwise! This place is great! Excellent breakfast or brunch. Employees are kind. Extremely busy, but there are tables outside. I ordered Fresh Lox #4 w/o jalapeños on a garlic bagel. Peanut butter banana smoothie. Soooo good!
Nick Bucci - 5 months ago

Amazing bagels! Of all the most popular bagel spots in the 5 boroughs I put bagel pub among the best of best! Amazing selection of delicious cream cheeses! Go!

Giving a 2 stars because it’s noted not to put tomatoes on a salad due to ALLERGIES n yet!!! They still did! Utensils r even put in the order (non in bag) no napkins, no sauce. Food leaking. So literally no way to eat the food. Woulda took it back but unfortunately they woulda been closed by the time I made back over I regularly love getting food here for weekend brunches. Ignoring instructions - already bad service (n I don’t just say as a disgruntled customer, but a fellow worker in the food industry). Ignoring allergy notes is deplorable!

Let’s start by talking about the lunch special, it’s amazing! You get a small appetizer and a full entree for a very affordable price! The food was absolutely amazing. Taste, quality and presentation were top. I would recommend this place for a nice lunch with friends to catch up. This has become my favorite Thai food spot so far. Definitely coming back.
Géne Bello - 3 weeks ago

Absolutely wonderful place to enjoy a meal! The staff are so friendly and patient and the food comes out very quickly. The decor and whole look of the place is simply stunning and I loved seeing the presentation of the food. I got the Duck Roti Wraps and the Chicken Puffs; both incredibly delicious! The duck was so tender, complimented with plenty of sweet, tangy sauce. The chicken puffs were so crispy and tasty, and pairs very well with the provided vinegar dip. The thai tea was also very rich in flavor and not too sweet. Definitely recommend them all!

MISC is a hidden gem with authentic Thai flavors in Brooklyn. From the moment you walk in, the warm hospitality and atmosphere makes you feel like a welcomed guest rather than just another diner. The cocktail menu is nothing short of fabulous with happy hour specials. Expertly crafted drinks perfectly complements the bold and aromatic flavors of awesome Thai dishes. There’s also a comfy patio for the perfect escape of busy NYC. Request for extra spicy and you get more authentic spiciness with real peppers. The setting is intimate yet lively, making it an ideal spot to unwind. Whether you're out for a romantic date night or catching up with friends, MISC offers a great place with great value while enjoying authentic Thai cuisine.

Came in by chance and without expectations but now leaving as a returning client. The food was spectacular! My partner ordered the crispy wing with rice and I ordered the crispy duck over rice and it was just full of flavor. Very crispy!!!! Define coming back when in the area.
Benny Cruz - 4 months ago

I live in the neighborhood and love coming here! The happy hour runs until 8:30, the crispy pork belly basil fried rice was my fav! The green emerald curry is always reliably delicious, too. Amazing service. A gem!
