Description
Al Badawi opened last November, a follow-up to its Palestinian restaurant sibling Ayat, which opened to critical acclaim the year prior. For his new venture, Abdul Elenani teamed up with Yemen Cafe owner Akram Nassir. The menus at both spots overlap in many instances, but Al Badawi’s kitchen and seat count in general is much more sprawling, allowing the Brooklyn Heights venture to be more ambitious. The menu includes mezze platters, kebabs, rice platters like the ouzi beef, and several flatbreads like a pistachio-and-cheese version. Ingredients, where possible, are sourced directly from Palestinian farmers but Elenani also has his own farm in New Jersey, where he produces his halal lamb and beef for his menu.
