Am-Thai Chili Basil Kitchen Write a Review
359 McDonald Ave. Thai $ Brooklyn  
As the name implies, the place really is just a kitchen, with a single table inside and another outside. Nevertheless, the Thai food is splendid, favoring the fare of Bangkok and the southern peninsula. This food tends to be rich in coconut milk, and most of the recommended curries are laced... More>>
At Cafe Sim-Sim Write a Review
312 Ditmas Ave. Azerbaijani, Russian $$ Brooklyn  
Sim-Sim is one of New York’s rare Azerbaijani cafes, and just in case you’ve forgotten, Azerbaijan is an oil-rich former-Soviet republic in the Caucasus Mountains, a region sandwiched between Georgia and Iran. There are excellent charcoal-grilled kebabs, of course, of which our... More>>
Baci & Abbracci Write a Review
204 Grand Street Italian $$$ Brooklyn  
This wonderful Italian restaurant extends our pasta frontiers by making gnocchi with polenta, rather than the usual potatoes, semolina, or bread crumbs, then saturates them with a scrumptious rabbit ragu, shot with black peppercorns like punctuation in a lengthy paragraph. The beet-dyed potato... More>>
Bozu Write a Review
296 Grand St. Japanese, Sushi $$ Brooklyn  
Bozu has boldly shouldered the task of being a sushi innovator, remaking maki rolls (try salmon drenched in raw garlic), but more importantly, inventing athe bomba—sweet vinegared rice fashioned into buttons topped with fish, further surmounted with a variety of crunchy, smeary, branchy... More>>
Cock's Restaurant Write a Review
806 Nostrand Ave. Barbadian $$ Brooklyn  
One of the city's rare Barbadian cafés, Cock's offers the full range of Bajan culinary delicacies, from the signature flying fish with cou cou (a sculpted mass of cornmeal porridge with fried fish in a zippy gravy) to puddina and souse (the former a cross between haggis and blood sausage... More>>
Colandrea New Corner Write a Review
7201 Eighth Ave. Italian $$$ Brooklyn  
Founded in 1939, and obscurely located, Colandrea New Corner is a Dyker Heights institution, a red-sauced place espousing the ideals of Italian-American cuisine. That means you should probably eschew the higher-end entrees of veal and chicken (often layered with cheese and prosciutto) in favor... More>>
Corn Bread Diner Write a Review
1436 Flatbush Ave. Diner, Soul Food $$ Brooklyn  
Successor to Park Slope’s Corn Bread Café, this modern diner was founded in Flatbush by North Carolinians, and the best items on the menu often highlight that heritage. There’s an amazing chicken and dumplings – tender pieces of skin-on chicken in a saline broth with small... More>>
D.O.C. Wine Bar Write a Review
83 N. Seventh St. Italian $$ Brooklyn  
And you thought one Sardinian wine bar was enough? D.O.C.—the letters indicate controlled production zones of products like Chianti and Parmesan—is situated in a Williamsburg backwater, and its warm interior might be mistaken for a chalet. Wine is king, the rudimentary snacks obedient... More>>
El Cerrito Write a Review
2024 McDonald Ave. Mexican, Salvadoran $ Brooklyn  
Formerly McDonald Coffee Shop, this tiny green gem under the Culver Local (F train) tracks has a bill of fare that concentrates on wonderful Salvadoran enchiladas (like Mexican tostadas) topped with sautéed beef, crema, and crumbled cheese, and banana-leaf-wrapped tamales, which have the... More>>
Ferdinando's Write a Review
151 Union St. Deli, Italian $ Brooklyn  
Nearly a century old, this antique focacceria is proof that Sicilians landed in Brooklyn at the same time as Neapolitans; a potbellied stove is still the center of attention. The favorite snack is the panelle special, layering smoky chickpea fritters on a homemade roll slathered with ricotta and... More>>
Fette Sau Write a Review
354 Metropolitan Ave. Barbecue $$ Brooklyn  
The name means "fat pig" in German, and this barbecue takes its inspiration from the ancient German-market barbecues of Central Texas. In similar bare-bones fashion, the 'cue is delivered by weight and deposited on butcher paper, sauce on the side. From a shifting roster of smoked meats, we're... More>>
Huckleberry Bar Write a Review
588 Grand St. Eclectic $$$ Brooklyn  
Joining joints like Jimmy’s #43 and Cantina, Huckleberry is one of those bars that offer amazing food made in equipment-challenged micro-kitchens. Using only an oven and an electric knife, chef Seth Johnson turns out a memorable toasted cheese sandwich featuring Salumeria Biellese ham,... More>>
Juliette Write a Review
135 North Fifth St. French $$$ Brooklyn  
This theme park of a French brasserie offers several appealing locales for dining and drinking: a barroom, a back room, a solarium, even a rooftop bar that catches breezes off the East River late into the warm summer evenings. The menu, too, offers something for everyone, including saucisson... More>>
Justin's Island Cuisine Write a Review
144 Lawrence St. Guyanese $ Brooklyn  
There's no better roti to be had in downtown Brooklyn than the rendition at Justin's, whether stuffed with oxtail, shrimp, or goat, further amplified by the curried potato-and-chickpea mixture that identifies this as a Guyanese and Trinidadian spot. Less typical stuffings like duck and salt cod... More>>
Le Grand Dakar Write a Review
285 Grand Ave. African $$$ Brooklyn  
More night club than restaurant, this Clinton Hill Senegalese regales you with African high life or American jazz while you eat in a room that can barely contain the band and six tables. The other evening we enjoyed a Cameroonian ensemble as we downed big plates of food barely reconstructed from... More>>
Magic David Pizza Write a Review
6305 Ft. Hamilton Pkwy. Italian $ Brooklyn  
In a Brooklyn backwater wedged between Sunset Park and Dyker Heights, the oldest traditions of Sicilian cooking persist. A monument to poverty food, the pasta fagioli soup is really just the bare essentials—short pasta and white beans, with the cooking water serving as broth. It comes alive... More>>
Memo Write a Review
1821 Kings Hwy Turkish $ Brooklyn  
This Turkish lunch counter with Uzbek influences makes one amazing sandwich. Deploying a round, thick, seeded flatbread called lapeshka ("home bread" on the menu), the meat wrangler heaps on both lamb and chicken doner kebab (a/k/a gyro), then loads on lettuce, tomato, and purple onions.... More>>

6601 13th Ave. Greek $$ Brooklyn  
This Greek restaurant—decorated with amphoras and handsome as all get-out—appeared unexpectedly on the edge of an industrial region of warehouses and factories. As the name implies, it specializes in Greek appetizing dishes, delivered in portions large enough to share with friends. The... More>>
No. 7 Write a Review
7 Greene Ave. French, Fusion, New American $$$$ Brooklyn  
As with the menu of The Good Fork in Red Hook, No. 7’s menu offers some Korean touches to its ambitious but short bistro menu. The hanger steak, which arrives nicely charred, comes with dumplings stuffed with potatoes and kimchi instead of the usual frites, via chef and Perry Street veteran... More>>
Oasis Write a Review
161 N Seventh St. Middle Eastern $ Brooklyn  
Conveniently materializing just above the Bedford stop on the L, Oasis immediately blew the neighborhood's other pita purveyor right out of the water. The appetizing salads are fresh, the baba is appropriately mellow and smoky, and the grilled-to-order lamb kebab and grainy sausage make this... More>>
Radegast Hall and Biergarten Write a Review
113 N Third St. Bar food, Czech $$$ Brooklyn  
This sprawling beer garden mixes three languages (Slav, English, and German) in its moniker. It was carved from an ancient factory on a Williamsburg side street, but zillions have discovered it, and the joint is packed by mid-evening. The list of 13 draft beers is a wonder of taste (our fave:... More>>
Saraghina Write a Review
435 Halsey Ave. Italian, Pizza $$ Brooklyn  
This newfangled pizza parlor, run by Italians from Emilia-Romagna, came as a surprise in Stuyvesant Heights, but the neighborhood has clasped the restaurant to its bosom (the owners live just down the block). The premises are labyrinthine, and feel like South Carolina circa 1950, and there’s a... More>>
Skyway Write a Review
2032 Bath Ave. Asian $ Brooklyn  
Coney Island Avenue's Little Lahore may be dying, but great Pakistani cafés are popping up elsewhere in Brooklyn. This spruce new café with plenty of comfy seating offers grilled-to-order kebabs, stuffed or unstuffed tandoori flatbreads, and a steam table that displays some of the... More>>
Smoke Joint Write a Review
87 S Elliot Pl. Barbecue $$ Brooklyn  
One Saturday evening, the beef brisket special was sublime at this new barbecue, which has, to its credit, experimented wildly with the menu in its opening months. The chopped-beef sandwich stands out on the regular menu, and so do the Flintstone-size beef ribs from which the sandwich is made,... More>>
Spartan Souvlaki Write a Review
6820 Eighth Ave. Greek, Mediterranean $ Brooklyn  
This off-the-beaten-path mainland Greek boasts "the best souvlaki in town," but it's the gyro that keeps us coming back. The moist herby meat is ensconced in an exemplary thick pita that, as a result of the volume of meat and vegetable matter, only wraps around half the bulging sandwich. Leaving... More>>
