So by the time I had this, I had just checked out of my hotel; however, that was not before I made my decision to actually go eat there. Yeah, it was a last minute decision, who cares? Well I probably should have.
Why? This place gets so much business and gets so crowded, you will actually be asked upon entering if you've made a reservation to come here! Yeah, me being the totally smart idiot I am did not do this. Lucky for me, I was still able to squeeze into an opening and was still able to be waited on, so we can begin the review in earnest. And by the way, the service here is phenomenal! The employees are nice and very helpful!
But yeah, before you come here, MAKE A RESERVATION! You need it!
So it took a moment for me to decide what I had wanted for my brunch, but I was able to start off with a cappuccino, and you get a pitcher to pour water into a smaller glass. The way the cappuccinos are served to you by the way is artistic in such a way that you can see a heart to top off your drink. That's how you know they make their coffees and the like with love.
So this delightful place specializes in Israeli food which is a nice touch I had not thought about trying when I arrived in Brooklyn the night before. But for brunch, this will hit the spot. So when deciding what to order, I almost went with the pancakes, but as I looked more at my menu, I had noticed another choice begin to emerge that caught my eye: the breakfast pita which has scrambled eggs, bacon, and topped with harissa aioli. Bacon is like the most perfect side EVAR when it comes to breakfast and goes great on a lot of things. The harissa aioli also drew me in because I happen to love aioli as a condiment. Fun fact, I actually use garlic aioli and not mayonnaise or ketchup when I cook a Philly cheesesteak! That's how much you can convince me to try your item if it has a good aioli as its condiment!
So yeah, that's what I went with, and might I say, that was absolutely scrumptious! I normally don't even eat egg, but even the egg here was good.
Oh, I would also like to let y'all in on something about my experience here that just absolutely made my mouth water. So at a table next to the one I was at, a man there was served this dish that looked to be in some kind of a pan. I actually remarked to him "THAT looks good", and he mentioned that next time I come here, I should order this. The dish I am talking about here is their Shakshuka, and it actually looked good enough that I kind of got jealous of his dish! And apparently, it's one of their best menu items. Okay, that does it! If I ever have brunch in Brooklyn again and get around to making that darn reservation, I'm getting that!
