Bedawi Cafe
Inside Bedawi Cafe
Bedawi Cafe sits comfortably on a quiet Brooklyn street, offering a focused taste of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors in a setting that blends casual dining with the feel of a close-knit neighborhood spot. Though its footprint inside is modest, much of the experience unfolds outdoors in a small, well-kept garden complete with water fountains—a detail that draws locals looking for a relaxed meal with a little breathing room away from the city’s pace.
The menu here leans into approachable classics like falafel, fresh homemade pita, and an array of salads, alongside more distinctive items such as the Lahmbajin Pizza topped with ground lamb and the merguez sausage platters. Portions encourage sharing, with a handful of cold mezzes and warm dishes that make it easy to assemble a mix-and-match spread. Whether you’re dropping in for a falafel sandwich on a quick lunch break or lingering over a platter of assorted salads and homemade dips, the food offers consistently fresh, well-prepared flavors rooted in traditional recipes.
Bedawi naturally attracts groups of friends, families, and anyone seeking a calm spot to enjoy good food outside of the typical busy Brooklyn eateries. It’s especially inviting in the warmer months when the garden comes alive, providing a low-key backdrop for evenings that might stretch into casual celebrations or quiet dinners. The staff’s friendly, personable approach adds to that feeling of eating at a friend’s place rather than at a typical restaurant, inviting conversation and lingering.
This is a place for those who appreciate honest, straightforward Middle Eastern cuisine without the rush, and for parents who want a peaceful spot where their kids can enjoy discovering new tastes amidst a soothing outdoor ambiance. Given its size, visiting outside of peak weekend times can help secure a table in the garden, which is where Bedawi truly opens up and lets its character shine through.
