Crema Brooklyn

Picked up food for the first time. It was made quick without any long wait. It all starts with the brioche bun which is perfection. Next, the scrambled eggs are a masterpiece. The fries and tomatoes and ketchup assembled with everything makes for what could be my new favorite breakfast sandwich.

We had my daughter's 16 birthday at Dar in Greenpoint. It's a favorite takout spot for us (and occasional dine in spot). It was my girl's choice and it was an EXCELLENT one. The service is wonderful. Everyone was so sweet to us, and there were 18 of us! The food was not a disappointment- fresh, delicious and plentiful. Thank you for such a memorable evening!

We did the bottomless brunch on a Sunday and it was really fun. For $36, you have one main course and all you can drink Bellini, mimosa, sangria and beer. I think what made the difference is that the staff were proactive in pouring us drinks. Huge thank you to the staff, we shared a nice moment

This was my first time at this location in greenpoint. I've been a fan of the WB location for years and years. The only thing I was sad about was the breakfast pizza was not on the brunch menu. Other than that everything as always was perfect. Great job!!

Very cool newish neighborhood gem. Small and cozy place with really vibrant & relaxing vibes. Staff are really nice & patient. Great variety of menu options, authentic middle eastern flavors, many dishes to chose from, everything tastes delicious and super fresh. The full bar is also a great addition to the site makes your time there even more enjoyable.

What a wonderful delicious experience I had at Dar 525!! To start I had the Syrian Rolls. Though I knew it would be to much food I ordered the Dar mixed plate so I could try multiple items from the menu (Chicken Shawarma, Kafta & Lamb kebab)!! Beyond excited to have leftovers because it was amazing tastes to the pallet!! To take home but not without giving a small taste first I got Basbousa & Baklava definitely not making it home!! The food wasn’t the only thing fabulous truly the service by Mazen and Sherif was absolutely superb! Eating solo allowed me to observe them and though they were busy they gave such adequate time and attention to each customer! The Kitchen does an exquisite job presenting the food as you can see in the pics minus the one missing roll that i jumped on before grabbing a pic!! I eat to enjoy food and this was truly an outstanding experience!!

DAR525 is an absolute gem in Greenpoint, serving authentic Mediterranean cuisine with a unique Brooklyn flair. We stopped by for a late lunch and were blown away by the incredible flavors and stunning presentation of every dish. Highly recommend! Five stars all the way! The vibe inside DAR525 is moody, beautiful, and effortlessly cool—perfect for a relaxed meal or an intimate dinner. The staff was super friendly, attentive, and professional, making the whole experience even better. Here’s what we indulged in: • Tabouleh • M’subha: • Grilled Halloumi Salad • Chicken & Rice Bowl • Chicken Shawarma • Babaghanouj

Fresh, delicious and authentic. What more can you ask for. Beautiful menu. And they serve between traditional lunch and dinner hours. Perfect after 18,000 steps of walking around Brooklyn.

One of the nicest meals I’ve had in the past couple years. The ambiance is perfect, the decor is gorgeous, the people who run it are so lovely, and the food is divine. We ordered a messed sampler and kibbe. Every part of the dish was so delicious.

We loved loved loved the food and atmosphere. The food was so tasty -We ordered 3 dishes to share and it all was delicious. The spiked hot tea was great. All in all this is a real gem in Greenpoint.

Everything was so good that I forgot to take more pictures haha. The strawberry lemonade though....superbbbb. and the trio meat thing...definitely recommend.

20/10. Consistently fresh and delicious. I dream about the hummus. I could drink their homemade salad dressing. The grilled onions on the kebab? Chef’s kiss. I am begging for you to bring back buy one, get one on Uber Eats for those who are balling on a budget :)

I love Dar 525, have been ordering it weekly for years. Delicious, value, and consistency. Can't beat it, really the only place I frequently order delivery from. Chicken kebab platter

Dining at Dar 525 is always a pleasant experience. The food is great. The atmosphere is comfortable and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Today was no exception.

Food is terrific -- my go-to is the chicken shawarma platter (full meal on a plate! delicious pickles!) while my partner goes for the hummus and beet salad. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the staff is a bunch of sweethearts -- especially A. behind the bar! (He also has the BEST playlists -- I always come away having Shazam-ed a bunch of cool Arabic-language indie music.) A sweet neighborhood go-to.

I absolutely love this place! The staff (Afnan and Abdul) are amazing, very sweet and easy to talk to and they provide excellent service. I’ve been several times with different groups of people and everyone always loves coming here. The food is top tier, and best enjoyed in the nice cozy and warm atmosphere of the restaurant. During the summer when outdoor seating is available it gets even better, could not recommend more!

Really lovely quaint spot! We ordered take out and it was tasty. The service was what blew me away though. The guys were really friendly and helpful. We had a big catering order and they were nice enough to help me carry it out to the car. While I was waiting they offered water and I was able to wait at the bar spot. Very friendly!!! I would come back!

This was my 2nd time here. What really made the experience today was my server, Afnan. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and all of her suggestions were spot on. Afnan was attentive without being overbearing. Excellent from start to finish.

Food is good. I love the lamb kebab here. It’s very fresh. Service is one of the best. I’ve been here more than twice now and consistently get excellent service

Lived in Greenpoint for 8 years and always love Dar, especially their vegetable kabab platter (I am vegan). Went to their other location on 231 Malcolm and it was great too!

Authentic, homemade food. Excellent prices. Really nice server. The vibe is warm and exotic, even better at night. Kippe was tasty (but a bit too drenched in oil). Beef kebab was just right: perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked. Added mousaka and it was more than enough for two people for about 50usd in total.

Great food that cured my craving for Mediterranean cuisine!

Really wanted a burger. The Dar Burger delivered. Ok so I walk by this place all the time and from the outside it simply never seemed appealing as it’s pretty dark and gives off a bar/pub vibe. It decided to come in and the low lit space is pretty with dark blue walls and brick accents. It is not what appears to be from the outside. I ordered the Dar burger which is a house blend with lamb. Being that I love lamb and this is a Mediterranean spot it fit and it was delicious. The bun held well, the flavor, the aioli, the feta along with pickled beets and pickles were just a great combination. The sweet potato fries were perfect and crispy on the outside. The service was great. I can’t believe it took me so long to come in and will be back to try more items.
