DavDecember 10, 2015Went for brunch. Omelette left me underwhelmed but they serve you the best bread. Would go back for that and the bottomless mimosas
Jane KimJanuary 30, 2011Loved the ambiance and deceptively simple cuisine. Recommend taramasalata, octopus, branzino or any other fresh fish of the day, and of course gorging on the freshly baked bread.
Bitches Who BrunchOctober 16, 2015The Bitches say: B. Some of the entrees were lacking bold Mediterranean flavors, but Barbounia is a great bottomless option in Union Square. Read more
Ana Marie 💃March 17, 2015Really good brunch, start with spicy feta dip, I love the crab Benedict and baked eggs.
Nancy AckenhausenJanuary 3, 2015Energetic #Mediterranean resto 6 blocks north of #UnionSquare. Burrata w/black quinoa, yellow fin tuna- amazing dessert called silan
IBCSeptember 10, 2014Don't come here without ordering: Saganaki, cauliflower, spicy feta, hummus, salad, margarita pizza, and the branzino to share.
Ms HeleneMarch 4, 2017Buzzing at brunch so good for groups but not quiet catch ups. Tuna nicoise was well presented and tasty but small portion of tuna $19.
BenApril 8, 2015Incredible brunch. Get a couple of small plates and make sure to have some of their bread.
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019Fun brunch spot with take on Mediterranean dishes. Can't go wrong with $20 unlimited champagne.
Rena YisiAugust 12, 2016As for me, definitely a dating spot. Snapper is good, at the end, dont forget to try out desserts.
Katie FlynnApril 30, 2012You MUST start with the falafel and the trio of hummus, spicy feta, and tahini and finish with the silan for dessert!
Start aycd brunch at the bat while waiting for your table - they can transfer the drink special to your table- Sometimes a long wait for brunch, but worry not: order a bottomless mimosa/mimosa/champagne at the bar. The bottomless still applies when you reach your table, but don't forget to tip at the bar!
D SicMarch 2, 2016Great for seafood lovers. The ceviche was refreshing and the Snapper entree was fantastic.- Cheryl QJuly 13Good place for a drink and snacks. In summer sit outside and people watch. In winter, sit at the bar.
Olivia BussMay 28, 2013One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in NYC with a huge bar. You HAVE to get the Mezze Platter!
Karen KangFebruary 10, 2018The service here is AMAZING. Not one or two, but THREE people came to take our drink order: the sommelier, our waiter, and waiter trainee. Our water glasses never went empty and the ambiance 👍- Sabih RahmanSeptember 21, 2016Try the silan dessert. The shredded halva is very crispy and goes well on top of ice cream
Kavita BabaMarch 4, 2015Amazing happy hour and fun times for large groups. The rosewater panna cotta is muy tasty- Katie DiehlApril 12, 2015Bottomless brunch is fantastic. If you're not ready to leave, you can keep drinking at the bar after paying the check.
Great place for a weekend boozy brunch. You can continue the unlimited drinks at the bar until 4 pm.
Toia CapelliMarch 9, 2014Chopped salad with lamb kebab is delish. You can't go wrong with any picks in this place.
⠀January 4, 2015Great atmosphere, delicious Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food, could be less expensive though.
Wei VaynMay 16, 2016Try the Roasted Artichoke - Kalamata olives, charred onions, basil & mozzarella (via @Foodspotting)
Genie AlfonzoFebruary 20, 2013Shrimp here is to die for. The garlic/parmesan infused sauce is great for dripping your bread too!!
Jessica ChuOctober 27, 2012Servers cleared our plates before asking. Come here for lunch and get the hummus platter and grilled steak sandwich.
BccList.comDecember 24, 2010The gnocchi is the best I've had since honeymooning in Tuscany. Served in an obnoxiously mushroomy - yet good - sauce. Dont like mushrooms? Skip it. Want excellent gnocchi? You wont be disappointed.
MariaOctober 2, 2012Outstanding food at a beautiful place! Try the octopus as starter and the branzino.
great food! check out the lamb sausage & steak tartar - #amazeballs
Fat EnglishmanMay 13, 2013Good wine list and plenty of food that reminds you of your last trip to the Mediterranean- Liz DolinskiApril 7, 2011in general, food here tends to be too salty. as for your meal to be "low salt" and it will be flavored perfectly. unless you're a smoker --then you'll love it as is.
Noura S.August 15, 2017Very busy restaurant.. make a reservation before you go.food wise: I looooooved their tomato mozzarella flatbread. DO NOT order lamb kebab Terracotta, the texture of the meat wasn't good at all.
Сергей ДворяшинNovember 9, 2023Nice place with romantic lights, polite staff. Tasty almond chicken, but too salty salad. High price.
Mike KeysermanOctober 20, 2012Lamb kabab covered with flat bread is the best! Tender and spiced to perfection!
Kim CrespoNovember 3, 2011Amazing gnocchi! I could eat it (happily) everyday. If you enjoy mushrooms, I highly recommend this dish!
