From the front to the back this is where its at!

I dined here last night, and as usual this restaurant never seems to refrain in out doing itself. Great crowd, educated and obliging waitstaff, and an extremely welcoming host!

• Pros: Best goddamn desert in town
• Cons: truthfully nothing

SIMPLY THE BEST

NO BETTER MID EAST AND MED FOOD IN NYC

A popular Mediterranean resto in the Flatiron District.

by Josh Ozersky

A big, airy space with a pan-Mediterranean menu, Barbounia has found a niche for itself serving very fresh, unchallenging food to a crowd comprised mostly of Park Avenue South office workers. If the place's generically Mediterranean decor has something of an Olive Garden vibe, it's not the fault of the food, which is surprisingly good. Start with a platter of spreads (tsatziki, hummus, spicy feta, taramosalata) and move on from there to dishes like grilled octopus with fennel or Turkish lachma hajuan, a kind of lamb pizza. Everything is scrupulously light, including the bill, which is pretty reasonable for this neighborhood.

ALL AROUND GREAT PLACE

by Rocketbabe

I love the feeling this place has when you walk in. Also the Turkish/Greek/Italian Mediterranean food is such a nice change and everthing I've had was delicious. For apps the Red Snapper Ceviche and Terracotta Shrimp are my favorites. Favorite entrees are Farro Rissoto and the Hanger Steak. Dessert is heavenly with the Silan Honey OMG or the Kanafeh ~ MUST TRY.

You can't beat the $12 non-stop Champagne Brunch, it's a perfect indulgent delight for the weekend. I've always found the service staff to be on top of things and that says alot these days.

I really recomend this restaurant if you want to experience something better than the usual venues.

• Pros: Atmosphere, Food and Fun People
• Cons: Haven't found one yet.

Great Food, Great Time

by MelissaVance

The other night I went out with a group of friends to Barbounia and we had a FANTASTIC time - great cocktails a great atmosphere. The food is scrumptious - the octopus is out of this world. It's great for big groups for sharing all the delicious plates. I think I tasted everything on the menu and all of it was EXCELLENT. And, they have this incredible dessert called Silan - it's to die for, so you must try it!

The place is so beautiful, so it's a great place to have a drink when you are on Park Ave South.

• Pros: Love the Charred Octopus
• Cons: None

Couldn't Be More Beautiful

by DianeK49

The sheer awe you will be in when you walk into this restaurant is enough to make the meal worth it in my opinion, however appearance alone is not all you have to look forward to when going to dine at Barbounia. The food was an interesting complex burst of flavor in everything from the hummus to the bread that was presented perfectly.

The service was attentive and respectful without being over-bearing and annoying. I honestly was upset when dessert came around, but i really didn't want to leave. I can't wait to go back soon! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

• Pros: The Food Tastes as good as the restaurant looks
