Samesa

After running a pop-up at Brooklyn venues like Berg’n and Threes Brewing, brothers Max and Eli Sussman give their Mediterranean concept a permanent home in Williamsburg. Nodding to the shawarma stands of their native Southeast Michigan, the pint-size market-restaurant hybrid serves, from a counter, chicken shawarma, braised lamb, zucchini fritters and fish kofta as pita wraps or composed plates with rice and salad, along with a selection of dips including carrot romesco and avocado hummus. A retail area up front offers sweets (fruit rolls, licorice) and bottled sauces (fish sauce, Palestinian olive oil).
