Where I'm Eating: Bedouin Tent



A major feature of the DD will be talking about the restaurants I eat in- whether it's Joe's Pizzeria or (eventually...) Per se. The point isn't necessarily to do a formal review, but rather to just share rudimentary thoughts on whether or not its worth it for you to go there.

A few weeks ago, I went to Bedouin Tent in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. It's a small, unassumming place next to a swanky-looking wine bar on Atlantic Avenue. The inside dining room looks like -wait for it- a bedouin tent, and there's a really nice garden/outdoor eating area out back. The prices are beyond reasonable, but they don't serve alcohol and there's no BYOB. The iced mint tea is not to be missed, though.

I had the falafel platter with hummus, which was very good, and sampled the lambajin, which was a Middle Eastern pizza with ground lamb, which was excellent. The artichoke pizza was great as well, and we all shared a heaping pile of fresh pitas and yogurt sauce. As noted before, it's pretty cheap, and well worth stopping in for a meal.
