"This Palestinian restaurant in Brooklyn Heights is from the same people who run Ayat, but it's a bit more formal than its counter-service sibling. Also, it's BYOB. We suggest ordering the ouzi lamb on a potpourri-like pile of rice, almonds, and peas as well as the bamia with pleasantly bitter okra. There may be no other place on this list that epitomizes family-style dining more than Albadawi. (The portions are absolutely massive.)" - hannah albertine, kenny yang
