Description
Located on a leafy, brownstone-lined West Village street, this beloved cheap-eats haven serves some of the city’s best Middle Eastern food. The small, exposed-brick dining room packs in a neighborhood crowd nightly—it’s not unlikely to see a line outside, since reservations are not taken. But it’s worth the wait. Freshly baked pitas, still puffed up with hot air when served, are perfect for scooping up the smoky baba ghanoush. Sample the ouzi—rice, chicken, vegetables and raisins cooked in delicate phyllo—and rejoice in evading Village tourists.
Hours
Daily noon–midnight.
