I had the most amazing meal last night with my friends. The location is amazing as there are a lot of bars and parking in the area. We BYOB and ordered a bunch of plates to share as the portion are VERY generous! Highly recommend for birthdays, big groups and get togethers! The vibe is great but the food is even better! Dreaming of that Hummus

Came here on Sunday evening with a party of 4 without a reservation. We were seated promptly. At first didn’t seem too busy but by 6:30-7pm the whole place was packed. I would recommend most items on the menu but the fatta jaj really stood out. The textures and flavors were very unique. The ambiance and decor also make for an aesthetic but casual dinner. Would definitely come back again!

Went in on a Saturday night with a group of four. We were told it would be a 40 minute wait for our table. When we came back after 50 minutes, we were again told that no tables would be ready and we needed to wait 45 more minutes or sit at the bar. At this point we were frustrated by a few things: why make us wait 40 minutes just to then NOT seat us? And there were a few empty tables in sight that were “reserved” from the time we initially gave our name and would only would seat a larger party. These tables remained open basically the whole two hours. We ate at the bar, food was good, but at that point it had been a crapshoot.

Excellent Palestinian food at Al Badawi. We had the mezze sampler, haloumi cheese and lamb shank platter. Lamb was falling off the bone and super delicious. Service was ok as got busy in evening and only 2 servers. Make reservations to avoid long wait times.

First time trying Palestinian food while in NYC and everything was delicious. Portions are very generous and extremely well seasoned. Also liked the clay plates and drinkware. Would definitely recommend a visit here!

Lamb kebab was delicious. The baba ganoush and hummus that accompanied it was exquisite. The beef flatbread, however, was very dissapointing. It looked unapeasing and tasted like bland spam spread across some bread. Service was excellent and all of the servers were genuine and pleasant.

I highly recommend Al Badawi to anyone looking for delicious Middle Eastern cuisine in Brooklyn Heights. The food is top-notch, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect for a casual lunch or a night out with friends. I came here with a group of four and we were incredibly stuffed (in the best way) with the dishes we ordered. We ordered the mezze filistini ($27) which was a mixed platter of hummus, baba ghanoush, muhammara, tabbouleh, salata tahuna & labneh (paired with some delicious flatbread that came straight out of their oven), the shrimp flatbread ($21), and the fattat jaj ($28)

The lamb (of the Ouzi lamb) and the chicken (of the maklouba) were extremely well cooked, we could scoop the meat from the bones using a spoon. But we thought the rice was a little dry in comparison and could have packed a little more flavors. The Muhammarah was really delicious and stood out among all others in the platter (Mezze Fillistini). Folks were extremely nice although it was a little hard to get their attention a couple of times. Nice decor.

The food was great however taking one star off for the behavior of the waitress who I spoke to when we entered. She very rudely responded “If you don’t have a reservation then you have to wait for 1 hour” after we walked in. So then I just came back and the guy I spoke to (Jonathan) asked if we would be okay sitting at the bar, and said it’ll only take 15 mins. Like they would have lost my business all because of that lady’s behavior. When my girlfriend asked the waitress for more bread, she came to our table and snatched our lentil soup away even though we were still working on it. This left us quite shocked and we didn’t know how to react. Overall food was awesome but the rude waitress left us with some bad memories
