Dar 525

Was in the neighborhood with half a dozen friends and we picked this place to walk in to, and I’m glad we did. We sat down and started off with 2 big salads, scrumptious mussels and hot pita bread and hummus, along with sweet vodka cocktails. For dinner we munched on shrimp and calamari pizza (on whole wheat, as we specified), fried tilapia which was the perfect crispness and chicken in a date and apricot stew that was sweet and savory. Somehow we had room for dessert and had baklava and banana crepes. By the end of the end our bellies were more than content. And the restaurant itself is quite big and spacious, I’m happy my group was seated right away. Unfortunately I’m not in Brooklyn that often, but next time I’m by Grand St, I can’t wait to come back here.
