The atmosphere is wonderful. The staff was attentive and kind and we really loved the food! We got the falafel platter and the green pitza- both were hits and we finished them completely. Had a Turkish coffee, which was mostly sludge halfway through so don’t recommend that as much, but the food and service is phenomenal.

Great food, fast service, nostalgic atmosphere. Tried a falafel sandwich and baklava. Both were delicious and full of flavor. Also, for tea lovers, their pure aromatic mint tea is worth trying.

Bedouin Tent – A Cozy Middle Eastern Gem on Atlantic Avenue Bedouin Tent is a charming, on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, well known for its comforting Middle Eastern cuisine and unexpectedly popular pizzas. It’s one of those neighborhood spots that feels authentic and welcoming, with a laid-back atmosphere that makes you want to linger. Atmosphere & Setting From the outside, the restaurant looks small and unassuming, with just a few tables in the main room and an open kitchen where you can see the cooks at work. The real surprise, however, is the backyard garden, which offers a much larger seating area. Decorated with vibrant Middle Eastern fabrics and colorful touches, it has an intimate, cozy feel that many diners love. Especially on warmer days. Service Guests are generally welcomed warmly and treated like regulars, even on a first visit. The service is straightforward and friendly, with staff happy to answer questions about the menu. While it’s not a formal dining experience, the hospitality is genuine, and small touches, like being offered complimentary mint tea at the end of the meal, make the visit memorable. Menu & Food The menu is not overly large, but it offers a well-balanced variety of sandwiches, soups, pizzas, and traditional Middle Eastern plates. Lamb Shoulder Plate: A standout dish, served with fragrant rice, hummus, or baba ghanoush (you can get both for a small extra charge). The lamb is thinly sliced and cooked through, perhaps a bit well done for some palates, but tender and flavorful for those who prefer it that way. The rice is spiced just right, making the plate hearty and satisfying. The hummus and baba ghanoush are different from the Turkish or Persian versions, earthy, smokier, and distinctive in flavor. Fans of Mediterranean food will notice the difference, but many find it refreshing and enjoyable, fresh pita bread baked in-house and perfect for scooping up dips as served with the dish. Pizza: One of the restaurant’s surprises is its pizza menu. The shrimp and tomato pizza stands out, generously topped and layered with a flavorful sauce. The crust is a matter of taste, those who like it thin and crispy Italian-style may find it softer than expected, while others love its texture and flavor. Either way, it’s a unique offering that blends Mediterranean flavors with a classic comfort food. Overall Experience Dining at Bedouin Tent is not just about the food, but also about the ambiance and authenticity. It feels like a neighborhood staple where friends and families gather. The portions are generous, the prices reasonable, and the backyard setting makes it feel almost like a hidden oasis on Atlantic Avenue. Final Thoughts Our experience was excellent. We came in for a late lunch before heading to a show at the Beacon Theatre, and Bedouin Tent turned out to be a perfect stop, warm hospitality, flavorful food, and a relaxed vibe. With its combination of traditional Middle Eastern dishes and unique pizzas, it’s the kind of place worth returning to, whether for a casual meal or to introduce friends to something a little different.

The second I walked into this place, I knew it was going to be legit as the smell took me back to my childhood. The real standouts here are the flatbreads, as they are baked fresh per order. The lamb leg sandwich was pretty good but the bread tasted a bit chewy and dense, but that could be because I took it to go. I’ll definitely be coming back to this spot to try more of their flatbreads

Had my birthday dinner at Bedouin Tent and it could not have been better. The food was so good, the service was amazing, and the ambiance was perfect. The back room is such a great spot for gathering with friends. Honestly this is the best spot in downtown BK and I couldn’t recommend it enough.

Love this place! Found this spot when walking by on Atlantic avenue and the smell coming out of the restaurant was divine. Decided to stop and eat for lunch. My usual here is the sun-dried tomato pitza and my partner loves the lambajin pitza. The salad platter is great as well since you can mix and match 5 of their salads. Service is quick. There is seating both inside and outside in the back which is covered. If you are in the Atlantic avenue area...you must try!

In 1980, I went to Israel, Jordan, and Egypt. While on that journey, I saw many Bedouin Tents. In Jordan, I saw people throwing wheat into the air and then making bread. So, before I entered the Bedouin Tent, I already had an image of this restaurant. It is rather small inside, with outside seating in the back. The patrons are incredibly ethnically diverse, which really adds to the atmosphere. The wait staff is amazing. So friendly and engaging. They really work as a team. The Kitchen is open in he front as you walk in. You can watch them make the fresh pita. We ordered Hummus with Pitas, Falafel and a Pizza with Lamb. I had and Iced tea with a swig of Mint leaf. The Hummus is amazing, creamy and smooth. The Falafel is light and so tasty. I did not know what to expect with the Lamb Pizza. The crust is very thin and crispy and the lamb is a paste. It was so delicious. For dessert, we had Baklava with Turkish Coffee. Incredible combination.... The bill was very inexpensive and we were really full. This was an amazing experience for us. What a great place!!!

They have delicious Mediterranean food at great prices. I’m having the leg of lamb sammy now and added pickles and olives. It scrumptious! The citrus juice is pretty tart but also very good. I drive past here all the time but never stopped in. I was almost an hour early for my kitty’s vet appointment across the street, so I came here to eat since it’s my first meal of the day. I highly recommend!

This place is as authentic as it gets. Wow. Family from Jordan creating delicious delicacies right here in Brooklyn. The falafel was fabulous. Different then Israeli falafel and still so delicious. We also got the zatar bread and some Chummus. They are not afraid to use proper amounts of spice and flavor. The Chummus was absolutely real and delicious. Nothing else added. Creamy and perfection. The pita bread was perfectly cooked in their oven so much so that you want to touch it to your face. (if you don't know what I mean go there and you'll see) fluffy and pully and exactly the right amount of chewy. There's also a nice area out back to sit if you want. We got our food to go as it was a gorgeous day. We will most certainly visit again when we are in the area. Also we checked out with the loveliest man (unsure if owner) who chatted with us about our trip to Jordan and was so pleased we were trying his food. This place is awesome. Finally able to eat at the location. Got a plate of salads and falafel and lamb. All were fantastic. I highly recommend the tehina in addition to the hummus. Such lovely staff also. Next year I'll be back again when I'm in Brooklyn

The food is okay, but the value you get and the atmosphere is really great. The chicken pitzza (4/5) was nice - lots of moist flavorful chicken and good toppings: the pizza was also really big. The falafel was not very good (3/5) and was dry and difficult to eat. The hummus however and the bread were absolutely delicious.
