You must go here! The hummus is DELICIOUS, service is ALWAYS super fast and attentive, chicken Adana and lamb chops are great! Reasonably priced. I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 6 years now and this is always a go-to for lunch or dinner. We even hosted our welcome party dinner here for family coming into town for our wedding. We were able to reserve a table for 20 something people and it wasn’t a problem at all. Everyone loved the food and atmosphere.

Love this place. The food is amazing. The staff was very friendly. Great dining space with a small bar area with seating. The space us really relaxing. Perfect for a date night or out with friends. We started with the appetizer sample. Big enough for 4 people to share but perfect for 2. I had one of the yogurtlu dishes. It was delicious. Perfectly cooked and well seasoned. I look forward to going back.

The diner looking exterior and unexpected location for this mid-range Turkish restaurant might give you pause but all it'll take is to step inside and have one meal to add this place to your list of neighborhood options. The food tastes fresh and you can tell there's a great deal of care behind the dishes. The portions are also very generous and make this restaurant a great choice for big groups. I had and recommend the manti (Turkish agnolotti), the lamb gyro and the kebabs.

This place has some excellent pizza made with a deft hand; they understand that with some ingredients a little less is actually more. Crust is solidly in the thinner and crispier camp. The pizza we took home and had the next day was a delight as well. My dining companions spoke highly of the gluten free option, and they take their food seriously, so this is a good choice if that is important for you. The music in the dining area was a fun selection of rock that blessedly skipped "You Shook Me All Night Long" in favor of some other options by AC/DC. The world would be a richer place if more chose similarly.

Awesome place!!! They have yummy gluten-free and nondairy slices. You can even add pepperoni if you like meat.

Upon entering the pizza crust palace, I was greeted with a warm environment that stood before me: A vintage Themed set that enlightened the pizza crust's name. I had two pepperoni pizzas, since I'm not much into pizza anymore. ( I used to!) First taste was amazing! The ooze of the cheese compliments the thin but delicate crust of the pizza. Adorned with glistening dashes of olive oil, melting mozzarella cheese, And Pepperoni makes this the perfect pizza to eat for a special occasion. Now, The price is $3.50 per slice. Is it worth it? Perhaps,but not every time. Overall, Really great pizza palace, but a tad bit expensive.

Great spot for a slice! Crust was crispy but not burnt, good variety of speciality slices, and good garlic knots. 🍕

Loved the vibe here. Big outdoor area. Drinks weren't too expensive. Poured strong enough. I didn't try any of the food but it all looked great. Would be back to chill with a group of people.

Scott Benson - 6 months ago

A sure spot to have a quick bite of tacos, burritos or corn on the cob with friends during the warmer months. Everything in Brooklyn is small but Habana has a large outdoor patio. People share tables. Good place for eating with a big group, too. One of the cheapest spots you'll find in area.

This place can be a real gem if you can manage a visit when it’s not too crowded. Orders are fast and seating inside or in the garden with picnic tables is ample, but unfortunately for fans of the food it’s also a great outdoor optional great place for drinks so fills up easily with that crowd.

We had family breakfast at Baba Cool on Saturday & Sunday and loved the food, especially cheddar scrambled eggs with bacon strips and the avocado toast. Great food, service, attitude and atmosphere - top rating!

Steven Kaempfer - 1 month ago

I am not a fan of their coffee, but if you are willing to try new and different coffee then this is your spot. Their food and baked goods are truly my favorite to order. Their Carny egg sandwich ( a bacon, egg and cheese) is my go to for breakfast. I would reccomend this place as a great brunch spot.

Samantha Edwards - 3 months ago

This used to be and still will probably my favorite bone broth spot. What I saw a couple days ago though alarmed me hence the 2 star review. I went to get my usual bone broth, I hand the money to the cashier he gives my change. After that her proceeds to open the fresh ginger container with bare hands after he had touch money and the pos system he opens it and grabs it with BARE unwashed hands and puts it in the cup. I couldn't not believe it! Hopefully the management will see this and train the person.....

The food as always is sublime. The service is good. The restaurant is small and there is a wait but it's worth it. Authentic, fresh and delicious

Joann Joseph - 20 days ago

Food was great!!! Place is small, be ready to add your name on the list. Lucky for me I got there before all the tables got full. I would go back. I had the Vegetable quesadilla as well as the sweet plantains. Yum yum! Oh yes be ready with cash. CASH ONLY.

Marlene Anderson - 3 days ago

Ordered 4 tacos and the only one even close to flavorful was the skirt steak. The margaritas tasted like they were poured straight out of a premade mix bottle.

We stopped here for a quick bite and a cocktail. The staff was pleasant and attentive offering a few recommendations. It's Valentine's so a lot of couples but also some groups of girlfriends. Music was on point but not overwhelming at all, you can enjoy a conversation without yelling. The honey wings and jerk wings was a delight, the Sea Water was everything! I'm so happy right now after 1 and a half glasses. Definitely a cute spot for a low key night. I will definitely be back.

Where black ppl meet! I've never had a bad time here. I always feel like I'm on a 2000's black cinema movie like the brothers or brown sugar.very cozy friendly atmosphere.

Nice small place to grab a drink and socialize. Jerk chicken wings were good, Mac and cheese was okay. Happy hour drink specials are a good buy and last until 8pm.

P Lue - 2 months ago

Great food, and environment. This restaurant is perfect for date night, and yes she will be happy. Also, the food great. The fried chicken, & collard greens, or the Mac & cheese, even the fish is off the chain. They have specialty drinks that are stiff. One of my favorites in NYC.

brandon christian - 4 months ago

Love, love, love this spot!!!! My personal favorite dish here is the Salmon salad ♥️♥️♥️ it can get a little crowded but it's to be expected being on Downtown Brooklyn's Fulton Ave strip...a must go place!! Perfect for date night or to just have lunch... beautiful plants adorn the front of this establishment giving it that back home island vibe your looking for

One of my favorite restaurants for Ethiopian food. Amazing service always friendly. Great vegan and vegetarian options. Love their artwork.

Petra Winkler - 1 month ago

What a fantastic experience! Sean is outstanding as the front-of-the-house manager. He made us feel so welcome, even though it was our first experience with Ethiopian food. He took special care to help one in our party avoid an allergy situation, and he was generally delightful. The food was fresh, flavorful and prepared to perfection and the rest of the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Great bar. We enjoy coming after work. They open at 5pm. We try to get there for a seat at the bar, the place fills up quickly. The bar staff is friendly and welcoming. Food is good. We usually go for a few glasses of wine and appetizers. They have seating in the back for dinner. Place has a cool vintage NYC vibe. Totally recommend for meeting up with friends or a fun date night option. It's directly outside the subway and close to everything. Check in with the staff for happy hour deals.

Went here for Valentine's Day. Great service, very good food. They had a special prix fixe menu as well as the regular menu. Great drink and dessert selection. Extremely convenient for public transportation- the C train is right outside and other trains are a few blocks away.

Fabulous ambiance and perfect for a date night. Amazing vegetarian options and I’m already addicted to their broccoli tacos and brussels sprouts. Their bartenders and staff know how to make you feel welcome and how to make a tasty cocktail.

Best Pizza walk-in spot in Bk. There’s a lot of hype over Grimaldi’s, etc (and don’t get me wrong - they’re great) but you’ll wait in line with tourists for hours. Not Rays is quintessential Bk neighborhood pies. No frills - great pizza. Period.

S Gilson - 1 month ago

The second star is only because the food is actually fine. But a $10 minimum for credit card purchases, and 4% higher prices for cards is pretty obnoxious for a pizza place. I came because it was close to work, but I won't be back; I can't justify keeping cash to only use here, and it's too small to expect to sit down for either lunch or dinner. If you're ordering a pie to go or for delivery, maybe, but otherwise I can't recommend it.

Leonard Johnson-Biddle - 4 days ago

Probably the best balanced tasting pizza in the area. Crisp crust, cheesy with great sauce.

Place is small for the price of a slice one would expect to dine comfortably.

Grandma's pizza is so good! We ordered online... It was quick and easy. They were fast to get to our house and pizza was still warm. I had a slice of lasagne pizza and mmmmm two favorite things combo.

Went for happy hour, ordered sliders and fries. It was okay. Cocktail menu isn't anything to get excited about. Music was great and our server was attentive. Might try this bar again during a game or event.

Wordee Rae - 22 days ago

Pleasent place with great service. Nice atmosphere. Food was good but nothing amazing. Drinks selection, specifically beer, was a little disappointing as there wasn't that wide of a variety. Overall, good restaurant, but not a place to go out of your way to go to.

Steve Da Cunha - 16 days ago

Spacious sports bar and restaurant with plenty of TVs and seating at the bar. Been here twice recently and was not disappointed. Staff is professional and personable. Their brunch menu is extensive and you can get 2 hours of unlimited Mimosas or Bloody Mary's for $16.

Matt Meany - 2 days ago

Well let's start with the 4 Stars first. Nice establishment with a good vibe. It has that you're going to have a good time here feeling when you first walk in. Food is fairly good. Because you need good food to absorb the liquor. For the 5th star credit, they don't take your 💰 then push you out.

Morris Rogers - 1 month ago

Pretty good food. I normally don't order a burger but the waitress recommended it after asking her. I must say I loved it! The service was good. The environment was pretty laid back plenty of tv to watch sports on. I would come back for the super bowel.
