On a long drive from the airport home, I decided to pop in and check out this beloved local Turkish spot known for dishing out, elaborate and amazing pide. I wasn't sure what to order so the cashier was friendly enough to recommend a few things, I went with the meat lovers. As I waited for my delightful oblong pizza to be baked, I was treated with the utmost Turkish hospitality and offered a cup of tea. I also picked up the baklava here, because it looked very promising. Honestly, the pide did not disappoint, it was chock full of vegetables and meat, and the cheese ratio was just absolutely perfect. Despite being such a huge baked item, it wasn't too heavy or doughy, which I appreciated and surprisingly because I was hungry I was able to demolish the whole thing in one sitting without feeling sick to my stomach. The baklava was also very good, heavy on the pistachio, which is just how I like it. Tea was served piping hot, and I enjoyed sipping on it as I veered out the window on a beautiful spring day. This is the spot to grab your slice of Turkish nostalgia. 10/10.

I was accommodated with ease and confirmed via text. The restaurant offers a limited beer and wine menu but patrons can bring their own alcohol which is a tremendous victory. The team put us in a private room and the chef came to visit us on several occasions. Service was very friendly. I was speak with the chef and he made several recommendations including his homemade pasta. We started off with several pizzas and they were good. Fresh ingredients and we aren't expecting Difara or Roberta's here but they were solid. A few guests had the Salmon for their mains and it was not left over so that was a good sign. I had the pappardelle with a mushroom cream sauce and much to my surprise it was excellent. The pappardelle was definitely homemade and the variety of the mushrooms made it stand out. I didn't have dessert but the apple crumble looked wonderful and again no leftovers so that is a good sign. It is kosher so you know price points are going to be a minimum of 25 percent higher. Entrees are anywhere from $30-$45 and are modest if not fair. Pizzas are in the $20-$25 range which seems to be par for the course now. Parking is a disaster but being that we all work it Brooklyn we understand and give ourselves ample time. By the time we were leaving at 8pm the restaurant was packed. When I visited to make the reservation it was early afternoon and the restaurant had a large Brunch crowd. Clearly Urbana is doing it right and it will definitely be a contender for next year's party.

The ambiance was on the quieter side yet very modern, and the service was attentive, with the staff accommodating specific requests.

Despite initial doubts based off of some of the reviews here, I'm glad I gave it a chance and would return with a large group. 20% gratuity auto-added, but there were no additional add-on fees. Recommend taking public transportation or booking a ride, boro park has awful parking. My only feedback: the restaurant's website isn't working right now so I had to do a lot of digging via google and instagram to find a sample menu in advance. It was also unclear whether alcohol was available, although I did spot waiters carrying a bottle.

They had to cancel my reservation for a Sunday because they had to close for a week due to relocating. But they called me and offered me anytime I wanted. So I reserved for a Friday. My table was waiting for me with no wait. The portions are massive, even the salads and apps. You really should share. The vibe of the restaurant was really old school Brooklyn, the location, the menu, and the people, which I loved. The menu is traditional Italian-American and it hits! The chicken Cali which is chicken cutlet vodka parm was thinly pounded and fried to perfection. It was clearly enough for three people and it was delicious. It was even tastier a day later when we ate the rest for lunch. The seafood pasta was fresh. The shrimp and lobster were perfect. And the tiramisu was light and exceptional. I do no care for it but my daughter loves it, so we ordered it. Instead of an intense coffee taste, it had more of a chocolate taste which I really enjoyed. I have two complaints. One is that the tables are very close together and the second is that although I saw the owner/chef walking around twice to greet people, he only spoke to select tables. I'm thinking he knew them, but I believe a good host would check in on every table. I felt that was weird. This would not prevent me from returning, as we loved the food. Go with an appetite and be sure to share.

When in New York, Italian food is a must! My friends had gone to this restaurant recently and…read morerecommended it, so we decided to go for Sunday dinner. I called the day before and made a reservation which was definitely needed as it was quite busy. The portions here are enormous, so based on past experience where they ordered 3 pastas for 4 people, we ordered more moderately. Our server was great and very accommodating. My friend is vegetarian so we asked what pastas they could make other than the vodka pasta and pasta alla Norma vegetarian, and he said basically everything could be made without meat which was a game changer. That night they had a fried calamari special so us non-vegetarians enjoyed that. It was SO good, seriously some of the best I have ever had. It was perfectly breaded and the sauce was so good. We also ordered the zucchini chips that were also incredible to share. They were so crispy and coated in parm, and had the same amazing red sauce. We decided to share the orecchiette with broccoli rabe, and got the sausage on the side. This was so delicious, we devoured it. Our server also brought us red pepper which really took it to a new level. The sausage was also delicious but the pasta was great without it too, like it wasn't missing the sausage but it was a great addition. Sharing 1 pasta was the right move as we were certainly full, but not overly full. Brooklyn roots is a great neighborhood spot, and you could tell there were a lot of regulars there. They also brought out fresh (free) bread that was soft and warm, that is from a local bakery. It's absolutely worth the trek to bay ridge!

I'd probably leave them a 5 for portion compared to price and quality, but the service wasn't good for multiple reasons. I went to this Palestinian restaurant, open since late last year, with a group earlier in the evening. The food overall was very tasty, but I found the service at best inept. I understand that it's a casual spot, but there were multiple issues throughout the evening with the two female servers. We were first without napkins, had to ask for more silverware, and had to repeatedly ask for spoons to share, so we eventually just reused things and moved them back and forth between dishes. There was also the fact that they don't serve tap water here even when asked, so it's a $1.45 minimum unless you want one of their drinks. I got a mint lemonade for $4.95, which was decent, and others got water, a hibiscus drink for the same price as mine, or a malt drink. They also brought out a ton of dishes while we were still having appetizers and eventually just put stuff on another table as we obviously didn't have room, so I guess order the appetizers only to begin with unless you want an overcrowded table. There were also issues with the bill, but I'll bring that up later. We started with the excellent Mixed Mezze for $29.95, with hummus, baba ghanoj, labneh, olives, pickles, salata tahina, tabbouleh, falafel, makdous, and fresh Soul of Palestine bread. The portion was large, with the dish reminding me of the old portion size from Ayat or Al Badawi before either expanded. The mixed mezze were all tasty and went well with the warm bread, with particularly good falafel (3 pieces) and hummus, but the baba and salata tahina were tasty as well. The only thing hard to split was the makdous, which came with one eggplant, but the inside was tasty. As mentioned, as we were plowing through the appetizer, our entrees started to arrive. First to arrive was the Bedouin Zarb for $31.95, listed as a traditional Bedouin method of cooking meat in the pit oven, served with rice. The meat in question was lamb, and there was a pretty big chunk that was very tender. The rice was the highlight, as it was nicely spiced with some slivered almonds. The dish reminded me of a slightly weaker version of the Hadramout Lamb from Yemenat nearby, but it was still tasty. Next to arrive was the best dish of the night, the $24.95 Musakhan, listed as the national dish of Palestine, made of roasted chicken over taboon bread topped with onions, sumac, and nuts, served with yogurt. I was originally going to get the Ouzi, but I went with this instead as they were out of it, and it was a blessing in disguise. Compared to the other Palestinian spots, the chicken was much more tender here, and they put a lot more sweet onions on the bread. The only complaint I could make is that I wish there were more nuts and sumac. Also, for the same price, there was the equally excellent Maqluba, listed on the menu as Jerusalem Flip, with spiced rice, half a chicken, eggplant, cauliflower, potato, and salad. Like the other dish, the chicken itself was very tender, with the rice being a bit less spiced than the Zarb but still flavorful, with a couple of crispy pieces. The various vegetables were very tasty, and I particularly liked the cauliflower, which I wish there were more of. The yogurt with cucumber on the side reminded me of raita. Finally, there was the $31.95 Mansaf with lamb cooked in dried yogurt/jmeed, over a bed of saj bread and rice topped with nuts. As with the other dishes, the portion was quite large, with a giant amount of fluffy rice. The lamb was very flavorful, but not nearly as tender as some other spots, with a bit too much rendered fat. This made it a bit harder to split compared to the better version at Al Badawi. The jmeed added some nice sour flavor and helped with the richness. We were planning on trying their $9.99 knafeh/chnafa (a new spelling for me), which is one of my favorite desserts, but they were out of it along with the other halwa. That was unfortunate, but it made the bill a bit less annoying. Speaking of which, they weren't able to separate the drinks from the bill at the end. They also auto-built in a 4% card usage fee and couldn't print a bill for cash usage to save on that fee, so I had to calculate it all, which was a pain. Eventually, we left with plenty of leftovers for around $40 a person, minus drinks.
