i VISITED THIS RESTAURANT WITH A FRIEND FOR LUNCH THIS PAST WEEKEND. The food was magnificent: prepared to my specifications and delicious. I ordered sirloin kabobs with a side order of sour cherry flavored rice. The kabobs were prepared with onions and tomatoes--cooked to perfection. The Persian flatbread was wonderful, served with two dipping sauces.The decor is unassuming, but the food is delicious! Great place for an informal lunch or dinner. Our waitress, Oelania, was very attentive.

We caught NYC Restaurant Week; Pera had a fabulous meal and wine setup. We had three courses of wine; a chardonnay (from where, I don't know), a red from Turkey (very nice; like a cab) and a spanish dessert wine (like a sherry). Lots of food, wonderful taste, good service! Ate there our last night in NYC; if we had gone earlier we would probably have visited them twice!Hi Kirkin, thank you so much for this fabulous review! We are so thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your last evening in New York with us. We hope to see you again soon & can't wait till you return to the big apple!

Cute cafe in Williamsburg! Stopped in for brunch on a Wednesday at 11:30, no wait! Moroccan egg dish could have been spicier like a shakshuka, but still good flavor. Pita was an odd texture? Add on homemade sausage was great (moderate spiciness) - similar in flavor to a chorizo. Coffee was good, but the only nondairy option was oat milk? Odd that no almond milk or coconut milk was available.All in all good quality and cute ambience. Would return!
