Lentil Quinoa Bowl VG GF
Lauren C.

This place was definitely not worth the trek to Ridgewood. We weren't sure what to expect of a place described as having diner food and Turkish food and great vegan options. In reality, it's more of a coffee shop that happens to serve some average hot food items with below average service. The person who took our order was pretty uninformed about the menu items and unmotivated to find the answers to our questions. The drip coffee was pretty good, and the food wasn't bad, just kind of boring and overpriced. They didn't even have very many vegan breakfast food options such as pancakes or French toast. We do not hesitate to travel for truly great food (e.g. Smile of the Beyond in Jamaica), but Abracadabra definitely did not make the cut.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Healthy food, a lot of vegetarian and gluten free options. Service not so great. You order at the counter, the. Take a number and put it on your table so they can deliver your order . They brought my companion her tea and entre, but never gave me my hot beverage. So eventually I asked for it and it was brought after a while, not hot , but lukewarm . No apology for forgetting my drink. I got the GF banana bread, asked if they might warm it up a little , since they told me to take it from the refrigerated section. She hesitated and Clearly she didn't want to, so I didn't push it. Banana bread was a little dry. Like I stated, it was a cute place, the food was ok. Parking on the street.

Food. Service Ambiance Great quirky neighborhood spot. Oh- and TURKISH coffee Come. Enjoy. You won't be disappointed

Not much chicken for 16 dollars. A few pieces are hidden under the salad but small portions overall.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Interesting menu and decent place to hang out, but the prices are out of control and the portions are laughable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the chicken Tikka bowl for 16 dollars plus tax and tip and it had a tiny amount of actual chicken. Don't come here if you're hungry.

Great addition to the neighborhood! Love this place for food and smoothies. They also have a lions mane chocolate in the freezer for grab and go that is amazing! Cool decor inside and outside. Service was quick and friendly!

This was my second time dining here, and I thoroughly enjoyed it once again…read more After enjoying a delicious meal paired with a fantastic all-jazz performance, I'm already looking forward to coming back. I ordered the short ribs and the five-onion soup again, and both were excellent. The service was spot-on and impressively quick--my food arrived in under 15 minutes. The owner is also really cool; he personally greets guests and makes a point of chatting with the performers to ensure they're comfortable. This is a wonderfully romantic spot. The beautiful flowers add such a nice touch (as I mentioned in my previous review). While it's not fully upscale, it has an elevated, sophisticated vibe that makes you want to dress up for the occasion. Highly recommended!

I had been meaning to try Bloom Botanical Bistro for a while, since it seems to be a neighborhood…read morestaple, and finally stopped in for brunch with a guest from out of town. The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit. The space is clearly designed for photos, and I can see why it would be popular for birthdays, showers, or other special occasions. They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.

Seriously it's like walking back into the 90s in Ridgewood. I'm not gonna lie, I had high expectations for being a bespoke southern breakfast sandwich shop because I like my morning flavors savory. They had some fun ideas like a cheese something biscuit whatever but I wouldn't know cause they gave me the wrong sandwich. It was busy so I didn't bother mentioning it... but this place always seemed busy, so maybe they should be used to it? Anywho, I ended up with two of their classic BEC and it was pretty standard and kind of a letdown for Southern. The wait on the line and the 15ish minutes after and the price weren't so standard but this was their last week, so you pick your battles.

I'll make this short and sweet but I literally drive 30 minutes just for this sandwich on my off…read moredays . I honestly have faith in anything that comes from their kitchen but their "New Yorker" with the spicy bacon and jam is my favorite combination! Make sure you order it on the cheddar and chive biscuit as well, and I must say that they definitely make one of the best chive and cheddar biscuits that I've ever had! They also make a MEAN bundt cake that I forgot to take a pic of. My ONLY hiccup with them is their wait time. Called in my order 20 minutes before I arrived and still waited an additional 30 minutes once I got there smh.... But don't worry I'll be back lol Ambiance is like a local coffee shop. Literally a Corner Shoppe lol.

This place is a long standing institution in queens and the interior reflects that. The decor…read more alone makes this place feel like such a special experience. I had a group dinner here for my parents and my boyfriend's mother to meet for the first time. This is perhaps not the perfect location for this type of thing, as it was extremely loud in the restaurant. Despite being very busy, the hostess made sure we had a comfortable table to sit at and were not too cramped. As expected, the beer selection is great and I enjoyed my Berliner Weisse very much. I ordered the goulash and kasespaetzle. The goulash was rich, well seasoned and filling. The spaetzle was soft and creamy, covered in lots of flavorful aged cheese with salty bacon bits and sweet onion. A very rich dish. Although I didn't technically order an entree, I still found myself pleasantly full at the end of the meal. The rest of my dining companions ordered either the schnitzel or the wurstplatte. All seemed very pleased with their food, and some even had leftovers to bring home due to large portions. This restaurant is certainly a fun spot to come, reservations recommended. There's a reason they've been open for so long.

Delicious German food!…read more We came here for lunch and the restaurant is adorable. Filled with German decor and beautiful stained glass windows, this is a great spot for lunch or dinner. I had Schnitzel Holstein and my husband had prime rib. The food and drinks were all great. The service was quick and the servers friendly. Great place!'

Some of their dishes are worth the hype! We made reservation for brunch at 11:30am on a Sunday and…read moreit was completely full. (don't attempt to walk in, place is small and PACKED!) We tried a bunch of stuff and the star was definitely the soft scrambled egg tostada, the masa pancakes and coffee tres leches cake. These are a must try! Good to try was also the fried oaxacan cheese but at $14 for 3 pieces, it's not worth a repeat order for me. These were skippable to be honest: mega thick bacon (just ok) home fries (meh) The chilaquiles (pork chorizo, salsa ranchera, crema, queso fresco, sunny up eggs) lacked flavor for a dish with so much going on. Service was pretty quick.

And we were seated at…read morethe strangest table in the whole restaurant, it felt like they pulled out a random hightop to accommodate my party (we had a rez) -classic cocktails were very good -was kindof annoyed that a draft beer comes ina smaller glass, not a pint glass. Like come on -soft shell crab taco/quesadilla was sitting in a pool of liquid, it was soggy af -rest of the food was honestly just OK/good. Not mind blowing -churro dessert was not cooked well. I think it was fried in oil that was too hot. The outside was very fried and crisp, borderline tough. Inside literally raw. -quality to price just did not seem worth it. It was $120 per person I do not recommend for dinner

I've had Nepalese food in Jackson Heights. But I've heard many good things about this spot, so I…read moredecided to drive over to Ridgewood just to try this spot with a friend. My friend and I decided to share everything. We ordered: GARLIC NAAN 5/5 These garlic naans were probably the best we've both tried. As soon as we took a bite, we are both impressed. And to think that we would have missed out if our server didn't suggest it... These particular naans are made different from the traditional Iones. They are coated with buttery goodness and are super thin. The hummus on the side was also a very good pairing. I would recommend this app. PORK JHOL MOMO 5/5 These pork momos were also super delicious! Comparing it to the ones I've had at another restaurant, there is no overpowering cilantro in this one! The momo itself was very juicy. The flavor of the inside and the soup was delicious. Another must-get! CHICKEN KHAJA PLATTER 4/5 My friend and I were probably the least impressed with this one. A lot of the dish includes a lot of dry ingredients like popped rice & soybean seeds. They also used cold meats and veggies. It was great to try each portion of the platter, but wasn't our personal favorites of our visit here. Overall, we had a delicious lunch. We throughly enjoyed our experience here and would definitely recommend this local spot. I did think it was worth the trip over.
