Freshly baked pita, hummus with beef cheeks, and whole fish
"While there can be some stroller dodging involved in sitting outdoors at Sawa, their seasonal Lebanese food and wine make it all worthwhile. Scoop up beef-cheek-topped hummus with freshly baked pita, and grab a gorgeous roasted dorade with tomato pepper stew in their gorgeous, tree-and-edison-bulb-lined backyard." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah
"For your next double date, head to this charming Lebanese spot on 5th Avenue where the chefs are sure to be rolling out pita rounds by the front door. They’ve got a big backyard with string lights, and a wine list that highlights producers from Lebanon and Morocco. Get some garlicky hummus, the tiger prawns with arak and garlic confit, and the whole roasted dorade with a tomato pepper stew that’s great for a group." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman
"Located in Terminal 1, this spot offers Levantine-inspired flatbreads, with a za'atar-sprinkled mana'eesh called out for its aromatic, herb-forward taste." - Alia Akkam
"Save your yapping trips to this Park Slope spot for summer, because Sawa’s back garden is primed for drinking a high-altitude Lebanese wine outdoors. Pair that with pita, rolled out and baked in an open kitchen moments before you eat it, and some creamy hummus, with or without braised beef cheeks." - will hartman, willa moore, ciera velarde, sonal shah
"Park Slope’s Sawa turns out compelling Lebanese dishes that center around breads made in the restaurant’s oven. The menu is divided into four categories: dips, mezze, entrees, and sweets, with around 20 dishes. The hummus, kibbeh nayeh, and whole fish show off the best of the kitchen." - Eater Staff
