Miss Ada

"The plant-filled back patio at this Middle Eastern spot in Fort Greene is surrounded by brick walls and murals of people drinking wine. If there are no reservations available in the back, the sweet whipped ricotta and creamy hummus with lamb shawarma taste great on the covered patio out front as well." - team infatuation

"This Medeterranean spot recently started serving takeout and delivery in the Fort Greene area. They’re running everything in-house, so order directly through their website here, and make sure to check their Instagram page for updates about hours and specials." - hannah albertine

"What It Is: An Israeli restaurant in Fort Greene Perfect For: Date Night, Casual Weeknight Dinner We liked Miss Ada when it opened a few months ago, but we recently went back for dinner and were somewhat blown away. While we had initially been excited about this place’s outdoor space, we can confirm that the Israeli and Mediterranean food here is worth traveling for, even when the walk from the subway has you checking WebMD for symptoms of frostbite. We sat at the communal table in front of the open kitchen, and tried most of the menu, including some fantastic lamb shawarma over a huge portion of hummus. The food comes out very quickly, so stagger your ordering - but we never felt rushed by the very friendly staff. The Verdict: It’s worth coming to Fort Greene with a date or small group to eat this Israeli food. We’ve added Miss Ada to the Hit List." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren

"The plant-filled back patio at this Middle Eastern spot in Fort Greene is surrounded by brick walls and murals of people drinking wine, and it’s a charming place to break down the latest episode of whatever Bravo reality show you and your friends are watching. If there are no reservations available in the back, the sweet whipped ricotta and lamb shawarma taste just as good on the shaded patio out front." - team infatuation
