Included side salads

If you are looking for THE BEST kosher shawarma in Brooklyn, this is the place !!! The chicken shawarma is prepared with just the right ingredients. Expect nothing but the best preparation and delicious flavors. I highly recommend this place and in my opinion, this is the best kosher shawarma in Brooklyn !

It was a delicious beef kabob!

The huge pita was set before us after we ordered. It tasted amazing, tender, crispy and chewy all at the same time! We dipped pieces of it in the hummus and eggplant sides. Beef kabob was tender with a delicate charred flavor.

I loved the fries.... my husband hated everything, he said the sauce ruined it for him, I myself have Had better in other states, I couldn't eat mine either. it is so bitter. We won't be returning. don't be fooled by how delicious it looks like we were, they need to work on their sauce BAD!!

Yummy falafel!

Olympic Pita place is a gem. Everything I got here was really good all around. The shwarma was very tasty and moist, without being too fatty or greasy. By far, they have the best falafel I've ever eaten, and the fact that they are bite sized was nice. The salad bar is great too, they have a lot more choices then I've seen in other places. It's also nice that they will put hummus and anything from the salad bar in your schwarma without charging you extra. That said, I've had better hummus. It's not bad, it's just not the best. Also, the pita and laffa seemed to be on the chewy side. I don't know if that's the way it always is or just the way I got it that one time. Regardless of those minor details, the food was so good, and the portions were so large, that I will gladly make this is my new falafel/schwarma place. Oh yeah, and just to reiterate, just in case you're still thinking about parking there--don't. Take the Q train or the B68, you'll be happy you did.

This place is busy busy busy It's a very casual style and very kid friendly So be mindful if you like silence and don't like families. It's clean and there is wait service The wait service is running around since it's so busy.. So you won't get too much personal attention and will most likely have to wave down the waiter for everything. They have a nice variety on their menu with middle eastern classics like hummus, babganoush, falafel and various nosh. The meat was well prepared, but pricey, I guess since its kosher The falafel was yummy and so was the babaganoush, cabbage salads, and tahini sauce The shawarma with two sides was $25 The flavors were simple, home style food.

The Shuwarma bar

The worst food, the worst service. It is too expensive and the food got me sick for two days. I don't recommend this place.

If you are in the neighborhood I would say, these smash burger are a good option for you…read more Ambiance: Came here in the afternoon, and the vibe was relaxed with nice music in the background and a lot of seatings. Food: Smash burger are great, they are not the best but I would rank it as top 5 in the city. I was pretty surprised how they charge for cheese (the place is mostly Kosher, and the Cheese of I remember is vegan) which contradict the concept of smash burgers. The fries were overly cooked if not almost burned, so I couldnt eat half of the basket. Service: ordering regular fries and getting trufle fries just to charge me extra is not a nice move. But having those popcorn and water cup made up for it little bit. If I knew I would be charged that much (burger + fries) I would have chosen from the lunch special menu

Wanted to like this place more but it missed the mark. This is really a 3.5 star review…read more I went on a weekday around 12:30 and it was completely empty. I was told to take a menu from the counter and that I could have a seat. Tried to order a mint lemonade but they didn't have any mint. OK so I ordered a strawberry basil iced tea, which was refreshing, but didn't really have much flavor in my opinion. When I looked at the menu, they had a lot of different burger options but I settled for a Smashburger that was shown on a summer menu. However, I then watched the waiter offer two groups who came after me a lunch special menu that was not offered or mentioned to me. Had I known there were lunch specials, I would've checked them out to see if I wanted to order. So I was a little upset that these were offered to everyone except me. In terms of the actual burger, I found the patties to be way too thin, even for a smash burger. To me it left the burger, feeling kind of skimp and not fulfilling at all. I also ordered fries which were honestly the star of the show. Lastly, I didn't feel like the service was up to par. There was a large table in front of a door and the waiter kept yelling to people to not sit at the table because he needed to access the door. My question is, why place a table in a spot that you know you need to be able to go in and out of? And then on top of that when he gave me the bill, it said one price, however, after I paid and a receipt was brought to me to sign it, had a different price. What I think happened is he did not add the drink the first time and I didn't notice, but I feel like when this happened you should just say to the customer that you forgot to add something and here's a new receipt. There was also an automatic 15% gratuity, which I wasn't fond of. I spent $40 for a lunch that I barely liked. Way too overpriced and not worth the visit imo.

This is the only place i go for a brisket sandwich more…read morethen twenty years the quality of food and service is excellent and I trust the cook that's very important to know they love what they do so the Brisket and pastram is always flavorful peaceful environment they treat there costumers with respect and most important they value my business after being open for then 50 years its amazing how they still have respect and appreciation for a costumers business Is truly why I still come to David's brisket HOUSE in BROOKLYN And I would always recommend DAVIDS BRISKET HOUSE to friends family and anybody who visits New York make sure and stop at the best brisket spot in town DAVIDS BRISKET HOUSE 10 STARS if I could 2026

If that's not the most Brooklyn thing ever, I don't know what is. Same sandwiches, different blessing. Everybody says order the pastrami, so I listened like a grown man should. Pastrami on rye with spicy mustard absolutely slapped. Smoky, juicy, perfectly stacked, and messy enough to ruin your shirt with honor. Then came the beef brisket on rye with a cup of au jus for dipping... and brother, that dip should be studied by scientists. Pure perfection. Washed everything down with a Dr. Brown's root beer like it was 1957. No fake trendy nonsense. No deconstructed sandwiches. Just old-school deli greatness that punches you directly in the soul. Great food doesn't care where you come from -- it just brings everybody to the same table. That's New York. That's Brooklyn.

Get out of your food comfort zone folks and get into Grüit! No more funky food mishaps, ok the…read moreservice needs a little help but that part is always a work in progress, but I digress. Chef Erick, formerly of Boru Boru and other high Michelin star rated spots, is the executive chef here now and doing what he does best to make this gastropub a huge success. Dishes you'll be familiar with but with a slight twist in a good way is the name of the game here. The vibe is upbeat, staff is friendly and the food is on point. This night we had the caramelized medjool dates with chunks of crispy beef bacon, pickled red onions with a drizzle of aioli that but thru the sweet and have it a nice balance. Their signature burger is ultra juicy bf flavorful, even if you must get it well done ;), the Duck pastrami was really tender and had all the flavors of what a traditional pastrami would have. Their charcuterie board was phenomenal and chef said he'd be updating it from time to time with new additions as well. And I'm physical obsessed with their pickled veggies jar!! Loved their olive oil cake served with an in season persimmon and kumquat coulis, almost like a short cake and the sweet and tart of the fruit coulis complimented really well. So get your GNO, BNO, birthday, date night, family celebration going here! It's a fun night out with great food, beautiful ambiance and upgrade energy! Oh and they will hold your table 20 min past your reservation time, DO NOT BE LATER THAN THAT because there is a ton of walk ins and they will give your table up to one of the many hungry patrons waiting. Which I do very much appreciate that they stick to that rule.
