The lentil soup slaps and so does the service. All the waiters have great hair. Need their barber recommendations.

Lovely little indoor/ outdoor space in Fort Greene. We came here for a late drink and then heard about the weekly $13 lunch specials. Delicious Mediterranean options with lentil soup house salad. We will be back.

A friend visiting from out of town and I decided to explore Brooklyn Heights, and what a discovery we made! Upon stepping off the G train, a hidden gem popped up on Google Maps, and it was impossible to resist. Though the restaurant wasn’t fully open yet, Neslie greeted us with such warmth and even offered us prime seating. From that moment, we knew we were in for a treat—and what a food adventure it turned out to be! My friend Nancy ordered the Lamb and Chickpeas, and one bite made me instantly jealous. That dish was absolutely divine—rich, flavorful, and unforgettable. Meanwhile, I went with the Salmon Kebab on Neslie’s recommendation, and wow… just wow. As someone who’s cautious about fish, I was floored by how perfectly seasoned and savory it was. The rice served alongside was the ideal complement. To top it off, I had the Dal Soup, curious to see a Middle Eastern spin on a dish so familiar to me as an Indian. It did not disappoint! Paired with the rice, it was so good I devoured it without a second thought. The pita bread? Completely forgotten—sorry, pita. 😅 It was two hours of pure bliss—great company, an incredible server, and food that left us happily full and satisfied. Thank you to this fantastic spot for such a memorable experience! We’ll be back. 💗

The best Greek restaurant in the city. The amount of hospitality we received from the staff was astonishing. It really felt like we were a family or comrades who’ve know each other for years. The food was out of this world too. Very fresh and tasty. Louis and the bartender are amazing humans. “I’ll see you next week”

We ordered the cheese spanakopita and lamb kebab both were delicious The spanakopita was especially good, with so much rich, cheesy flavor The ambiance is excellent too perfect lighting and music at just the right volume, so you can actually talk and enjoy the evening

A very cozy restaurant with a lovely, homey atmosphere. You instantly feel comfortable here. The food is delicious, especially the lamb — perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. Definitely coming back.

Went on a holiday evening. My friend and I had a great time here! Food was delicious and price was fair. 💛✨🫓The appetizer and plate was huge, came with 2 pitas! Seasoning was impressive and diverse. 🧡🎏🎣Salmon kebab was surprisingly good. It was grilled perfectly with crispy edge while the meat was still juicy. The portion was big. Lamb sausage was kinda the same as salmon kebab (sides). It was slightly dry but flavorful. Baklava was fair. Huge piece, tasty, but soggy already.

Food was great but what I really enjoyed was the atmosphere of the place along with the friendly and well trained staff. The lighting was very moody but still with plenty of brightness to see and enjoy the rest of the restaurant. It felt personal in a way one enjoys when they have booth seating, and the sound level was very comfortable. I sat at the bar where I enjoyed cocktails (highly recommend their Romeo and Juliet while it’s still around) and the bartender Sophia was very accommodating and made sure I was well taken care of by checking in with me despite the number of orders coming in which is all I really ask for when it gets busy. Food came at a perfect time and while I didn’t leave with leftovers I felt really satisfied by the amount of food and drinks. Would absolutely come back to try the rest of their menu <3

Service was wonderful; space was cute; food was good. The mezze plate was very tasty — good mix of hummus, baba ghanoush, labneh, chickpeas, and beets salad. Also got the falafel wrap but would skip. I think this place is more known for their meat dishes so will need to come back for dinner. Will be back :)

During a recent visit to Black Iris in Brooklyn with my fiancée, we were warmly welcomed by the entire staff and comfortably seated right away. Adam, the owner, personally helped us navigate the menu to ensure we chose dishes we’d truly enjoy, and the team remained attentive and polite throughout the evening. Our food arrived promptly, and we loved every dish—the mezze plate, the chicken pitza, and dessert were all excellent. The experience delivered on service, atmosphere, and quality from start to finish, earning a full 10/10, and I highly recommend visiting.

Mmm really incredible food, fresh, colorful, nutritious, and aesthetically appealing with great service and cozy intimate vibes. The stuffed grape leaves and mezze plate are an absolute must! Everything is incredibly luscious, creamy, flavors are well balanced, and I loved the sweet crunch of pomegranate seeds on top. Dragging warm fresh pita through thick labneh and smoky babaganouj was the highlight of my meal. Lots of vegan/veggie options as well. Don’t miss out on these flavors/textures/tastes!! And obviously get the baklava cheesecake for dessert!

We were looking for a dog-friendly restaurant on a Saturday night and stumbled upon this place. The staff, especially our waiter Louis, were very accommodating and found us an outdoor table right away. They were very nice to our dog (and us) the whole time. The Black Iris pitza was delicious. The hummus, and the Juliet and Romeo cocktail were all solid. We'll be back.

Very welcoming and friendly. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Decently priced. I love the variety of options. Delicious. They have a nice selection of drinks. You can also ask for non-alcoholic options. Unisex restrooms.

All around excellent dining spot. Service, atmosphere, and the food. Big hearty portions with robust flavor and flavors a lot of Mediterranean restaurants miss.

Very stylish restaurant with incredible food - definitely get the za’atar bread to start! Our talented server was able to remember the orders for our table of eight by heart, and made excellent menu recommendations since it was our first time. Would love to return next time we are in NY again!

I was expecting more flavorful food. Mazze platter was under seasoned (baba ghanoosh, hummus, beets) its. 4 star restaurant

Nice and cozy place to eat! Mezze had some great dips my favorite the labneh and hummus. Was bit underwhelmed with the chickpea salad and beet salad. The lamb sausage on the other hand was full of flavor and had a kick of spice. Very tasty!

I've been waiting so long to try Black Iris, and I finally stopped in for one of their lunch specials. What an amazing deal! The food was fresh, expertly prepared, and absolutely delicious. It's a must-try if you're in the area. My only disappointment? They were out of desserts, which just means I have an excuse to go back!

Stopped in at Black Iris after a long day and that food sure hit the spot. Plate come out hot, meat tender, rice and salad had plenty flavor, not just salt and oil. Pita bread was fresh and the sauces had a nice kick without tearin my head off. Folks workin there were friendly and the place felt clean and cozy, I walked out full and happy and would come back again easy.

Pretty dang good! Especially for the price. But I will say the sandwich was actually a wrap. Even though the menu said sandwich. BUT it was delicious

Baklava cheesecake… are you kidding me?! Flaky, creamy, nutty, unreal. Every bite was rich but balanced, a perfect twist on two classics. Easily one of the most special desserts I’ve had in a long time. If it’s on the menu, don’t even think—just order it. 🍰✨

We had dinner here and shared a couple of items. The Mezze platter was nice to split and all the food we had was good. The protein platter we split was also plentiful for a reasonable price.
