Black Iris - Mediterranean restaurant in Brooklyn - 120 Lafayette Ave, USA

This restaurant has a cozy date vibe going on. I went on a week night and the restaurant seating on the inside was full, every table had a customer. We walked in and was seated immediately, the menu has so much to choose from, I had the chicken gyro and my boyfriend had the lamb wrap. Both were so delicious. The people who worked there were so friendly and pleasant, our waiter was so knowledgeable with the food and the drinks. I would definitely recommend this restaurant people.

Girlfriend and I stopped in today around 3 pm and had a great experience. The food was amazing (the Pitza was so unique and you have to try the Basbousa for dessert). The servers were awesome helping us with our selections and just checking in occasionally to make sure we were doing okay. Highly recommend

Lovely brunch place, got the mixed grill ( you can pick three grills from the menu and we got lamb, chicken and salmon ) , shakshuka and hummus mix, all came with a pita. This was good for 4 person. Our server was so fun, love the vibe.

This place is such a gem!! Such a great environment to eat and feel special at the same time. The waiters were so informative and helpful. The food was amazing. Everything was tasty. I can't wait to go back and try more

Delicious Mediterranean food and friendly service. The mezze plate was really good - we substituted the beet salad for the tabbouleh which was recommended by our waiter. The Turkish eggs were good too but it was just 2 poached eggs and a bit too much labne. The pita was amazing - fresh, thin but chewy. The bartender made a hugo spritz for us which wasn't on the menu and he made it well.

The vibe is welcoming and the service is very attentive. Both the lamb sausage and the Shakshuka were just ok, while the labneh and hummus in the mezze platter tasted good.

Presentation and the space is decent but definitely not the food itself. Considering the location and quality of Mediterranean food in NYC, they need to level up a bit with the overall quality of their food.

Lovely experience here with caring, kind staff. Strong AC inside, actually so cold we had to move outside. The location’s atmosphere is wonderful inside and out (I sat in both over the course of dinner!). Food presentation and portions are good. Only issue is we felt mezzes and food in general lacked a bit of flavor, or pep somehow. Across the board, we felt the dishes could use stronger garlic, depth of spices, and lemon brightness, especially the hummus and chicken gyro meat. The beet salad also seemed a little soggy or waterlogged like it had been sitting. The babaganus was a bright spot, one of the better ones I’ve had. I will definitely keep trying this place to see if it moves along, since it’s a great spot and I believe in them. Also would be super nice if they added gluten free (GF) designations to their menu (and maybe more options!).
