L. T.April 3, 2015Three rooms - get in early to get to the back room. Great for dates and nice conversation.
Nick AndlingerSeptember 27, 2015Mogador gets all the brunch love, but this place is significantly better. Would kill for those pumpkin pancakes.
M MDecember 31, 2015Good brunch. I liked the eggs with labna with a side of chicken & pistachio sausage.
Wow. Like. The steak and eggs with spinach sauce. You won't regret it.
This place is pretty jammed on the weekends... their 5-seat bar is a good, low-key alternative to waiting for a table. Plus, you'll get the quickest Bloody Mary refill in the house.
Sarah SeedsApril 22, 2012Brunch is AMAZING. Mimosa + Huevos Rancheros = WIN. Steak and eggs, smoked salmon bagel, AND the breakfast sandwich are also winners.
Melissa FordAugust 16, 2016Love the hummus plate with the mixed green side salad. Vanilla latte is delicious.
Frances M.February 21, 2013Great for brunch. Try the brunch specials & pancakes. Filling and delicious. Come early on weekends. Otherwise, expect a long wait.
Brittany WynnJune 12, 2016Just about everything, pastas, sandwiches, salads, iced chais, soups, breakfast.
LauraAugust 10, 2011Great brunch spot. Sit outside, nurse a cup of coffee (and/or a hangover) and order the smoked salmon and cream cheese omelette. Delicious.
MichaelJanuary 24, 2017Nothing particularly outstanding here, just good fresh Middle Eastern influenced food in a home-style setting.
Im surprised this is listed as a breakfast place when they have such a great dinner menu. Chicken Schnitzel is fantastic.
Omer ZachJuly 22, 2014The malawach (a Yemenite crêpe-like dish) is a great choice at brunch. The pumpkin pancakes too.
Michael TiffanyJanuary 13, 2012Order the humbly named chicken sausage on the side. It's house-made, and it's astounding, with pistachios and brilliant spices.
My favorite place for steak and eggs! The pumpkin pa cakes are also great.
Sam WinnickFebruary 17, 2015I love the brunch here. The potato pancake with fried eggs is awesome!!!
Mitra SalaselJanuary 8, 2016Green omelette stuffed with middle eastern herbs + Arab pita(the real kind) = best EV breakfast
Kathryn PhillipsApril 3, 2015Everything is good. Great brunch. Get there before 10 to avoid the wait
New York HabitatNovember 17, 2011This place is often packed for brunch and for good reason. The pumpkin pancakes are all they're cracked up to be, and outdoor seating makes it great for people watching.
Sarah OngSeptember 26, 2015For appetizers, try the avocado toast and hummus with mushrooms. Soo good! 😋
Gabrielle ShinerAugust 11, 2013Great classic brunch spot with a couple vegan options. Also has outdoor seating!
Camila CeminSeptember 27, 2014Malawach for brunch is simply amazing!!! Extra french fries are a must!- Simran JaisingJanuary 27, 2013delicious group brunch spot. middle eastern twist is integrated into brunch staples. pita replaces bread.
- Eva GuadamillasSeptember 27, 2015Eggs Norwegian are consistently better than anywhere else I've been for brunch
Steak & eggs is my go to choice at brunch. Coffee is delicious.
The smoked salmon with eggs, potatoes, and hollandaise sauce is amazing. So is the brioche French toast. Best brunch I've had in NYC!
