Loud as fuck at brunch. -Dina

Try the eggplant sandwich with a side salad. Skip the matzoh ball soup though. -Eric

A must-try on the menu, according to co-owner Dean Jankelowitz, is Freda's matzo ball soup. "Matzo ball transcends anything," he said. "It's a New York dish." -The Wall Street Journal

Eat this: matzo ball soup made with duck fat, a skirt steak sandwich served alongside hand-cut fries, & piri-piri-hot-sauce-marinated chicken kebabs, soft-boiled eggs with challah "soldiers" (AM only) -Time Out New York

In the morning, find Stumptown coffee, homemade croissants and full breakfast plates, including soft-boiled eggs with challah "soldiers" (strips). -Time Out New York

Your head says eat a healthy salad, your stomach demands meat. Strike a great compromise with the tuna, avocado, and greens salad for lunch. -Noah

We love coming to this effortlessly cute spot for a romantic brunch. Definitely try the Prego Roll, the Rosewater Waffle or the Green Shakshuka and a Sweetened Iced Green Tea. -The Corcoran Group

The best breakfast downtown. Sadly these slackers don't open before 10am. -Justin

Grilled haloumi & chicken kebabs are must haves. Side of fries with whatever other entree you want (chopped salad is for babies!) and mint lemonade. -Anna

The Mediterranean Breakfast is a soft yet filling option. Eggs any style with pita, avocado and salad. Yummy in your tummy. -Andrew

Peri-peri chicken is awesome. Cauliflower app as well. Great restaurant -Benjamin

Make sure to order a side of labne, olive oil, zataar and grilled pita bread. Great item to share amongst the table. -IBC

Zucchini fries, done right, can be even better than their potato counterparts. Here, it's a perfect crunch on the outer shell and zucchini that practically melts in your mouth. Chase with cold beer. -Village Voice

Must try their Flourless Chocolate cake! It has Chipotle which takes the flavor to an out-of-this-world experience. Loved it! -Julissa

Get breakfast for lunch. -Emma

Don't get the soft-boiled eggs. They're overcooked and unopened, so you'll be embarking on journey of awkwardness as your party watches you try to break, peel, and unsuccessfully dunk on your own. -Zach

Every meal I've had here has been delightful. Great food and really friendly service. You can expect a wait any hour of the day, always worth it. -Jessica

Grilled salmon on the marinated kale was delish ! -Sarah

Don't get the matzah ball soup. It's awful. Seriously. -Jori

Peri-peri chicken, arugula salad, and the delicious flourless chipotle chocolate cake. The fries are also a solid win. -Matthew
