The tunesian eggs were very tasty. I wanted the pumpkin pancakes but since it would've been too much with the eggs, I got one pancake as a side. Delicious!

Lots of menu options..great brunch place, outside seating, serve wine/beer/cocktails..a really good to go spot for relaxing afternoons.

Generally easy to get a table here for brunch (<30 minute wait). The Tunisian eggs and the middle eastern breakfast are yum.

Great brunch spot in East Village. There is usually a line up to get it, but it moves quickly and it's worth the wait

You cannot go wrong here but Diana's breakfast is so good. Pay attention to daily brunch specials. Share the pancakes!

The feta and spinach omelette is quite good. I also ordered the chicken pistachio sausage which looked a bit weird but tasted great.

Anything and everything is amazing here....the goat cheese sandwiches are my hidden loves, but brunch is also packed with yummies!
Christian DickmannFebruary 14, 2017
Had the eggs with hummus, which I don't think was a winning combination. the egg sandwich (bagel) was great!

Great Bloody Mary. You can't go wrong with anything on the brunch menu... Be sure to try the Canadian bacon!

Absolutely amazing food and ambiance. I can't recommend it enough. Perfect for 2. Ok for 4. Recommended for 2.

Ask for the millet pancakes (possibly not on the menu). Served with beets & goat cheese, these pancakes are delicious, savory, and don't need syrup. You'll be coming back again for more of 'em.

Loved the crab burger! Sadly it was a special but their menu is always changing. Then get a delicious dessert with chai tea or cappuccino.

Lovely staff and food for brunches. Indoor and outdoor seating. Huge portions pancakes and raspberry iced tea

Good soy latte if you can get into this popular spot. It's bigger than it looks from the outside and the line moves so worth the wait!

This place has really good food..! Tried the Malawach in their brunch menu..the fried dough was a little oily, but otherwise great!

Tunisian eggs - perfect if you like a little spice. Almost like a warm salsa. Plus, the potatoes that came with it was delightful!

Good food, excellent drinks, and a cute decor. Not too noisy but not silent - perfect for dinner and conversation!

This place used to be so cozy and quaint. Now you have to scream to hear the other person. But the brunch is still great so I'll still come here!

Sooooo good, fries were amazing, try the sandwiches from their "middle eastern" menu

Breakfast until 4 pm :) get the eggs with humus and pita so delishes and their cappuccino was amazing

Over medium eggs are actually over medium. The millet pancakes are an interesting texture and great with syrup.
Jeffrey RJune 9, 2013
Went for a light dinner last night. The salads, especially the special beet salad with pistachios, were great, and the service could not have been friendlier.
Fatma AldarwishSeptember 27, 2016
The breakfast is so yummy. We tried the middle eastern and Tunisian breakfast... Both were excellent 👌🏼

Loads of delicious Mediterranean breakfast options at a reasonable price. Sit outside with a mimosa and take in the city vibes!
Alec MFebruary 21, 2012
If you're eating with a boyfriend or girlfriend, one of you should get the steak and eggs, the other the pumpkin combo and pumpkin pancakes. Perfect combo!
RCMay 31, 2015
Great unique brunch items. Note, no brewed coffee with unlimited refills. The espresso drinks are great though.

This place is pretty jammed on the weekends... their 5-seat bar is a good, low-key alternative to waiting for a table. Plus, you'll get the quickest Bloody Mary refill in the house.
David HuApril 28, 2014
Although known for brunch, there's just as awesome of a selection for dinner. Had the schnitzel, was not disappointed!
Annie MApril 2, 2016
Pancakes, banana bread and 2 eggs any style ! Everything was very tasty ! Nice place and really welcoming !
Renae MasonJuly 23, 2015
The middle eastern breakfast with labne, salad & poached eggs was fresh and tasty. Good soy cap too.

Very reasonably priced brunch with great food. Millet pancakes with chicken pistachio sausage and beet salad was perfect at just 11 bucks.

Middle Eastern/Israeli restaurant very popular at brunch. Cute outdoor seating and great hummus.

Green omelette stuffed with middle eastern herbs + Arab pita(the real kind) = best EV breakfast

My favorite place in the EV, they offer a quick or long lunch. Everything is good especially the soup specials.
Nick AndlingerSeptember 27, 2015
Mogador gets all the brunch love, but this place is significantly better. Would kill for those pumpkin pancakes.
Frances M.February 21, 2013
Great for brunch. Try the brunch specials & pancakes. Filling and delicious. Come early on weekends. Otherwise, expect a long wait.
New York HabitatNovember 17, 2011
This place is often packed for brunch and for good reason. The pumpkin pancakes are all they're cracked up to be, and outdoor seating makes it great for people watching.
Kelly McCarthyOctober 22, 2015
Avocado toast with eggs is amazing a little pricey but worth it! Wifi password is breakfast
Melissa FordAugust 16, 2016
Love the hummus plate with the mixed green side salad. Vanilla latte is delicious.
Omer ZachJuly 22, 2014
The malawach (a Yemenite crêpe-like dish) is a great choice at brunch. The pumpkin pancakes too.
Alexandros PlexidasMay 19, 2016
I visited this pace with great expeditions due to the hype but I was not amazed. Spinach omelette was very decent and service was very good. Found the interior a bit poorly decorated.

Wow. Like. The steak and eggs with spinach sauce. You won't regret it.
Brandon SidesSeptember 8, 2014
The mussels are light and fabulous, they come with fries though, so if you're hungry it's still a good choice.
Elena LOctober 26, 2014
Great breakfast! Tried goat cheese, spinach omelette and pumpkin pancakes. Both were delicious!
L. T.April 3, 2015
Three rooms - get in early to get to the back room. Great for dates and nice conversation.
Adam ThompsonMarch 31, 2013
A great NYC brunch. Good coffee drinks and a scrumptious smoked salmon omelette. Our service was excellent to boot.
