Delicious, fresh food; standout chicken, lamb, duck, and varied sides. Good vegan options and dietary accommodations. Occasional salty chicken, lukewarm food from delays. Cocktails hit or miss.
Location
Excellent, convenient neighborhood gem in Flatbush. Many would travel to this spot.
Service
Generally friendly and professional staff. Counter-ordering causes bottlenecks, confusion, and long waits; self-bussing tables. Some staff perceived as unfriendly.
Value for Money
Generally affordable for the area. Great prices on food and drinks, though some found specific meals pricey for value.
Vibe
Casual, free-spirited, and vibrant. Beautiful, unique outdoor garden seating a highlight. Great for brunch. Issues with summer heat due to no AC.
