Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Bushwick

Mesiba is one of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time. I took friends who were visiting from out of town here and we had the best time—we didn’t want to leave. The food was delectable, the service friendly, the ambience funky and cool, and the vibes immaculate. When I visited it was the fourth night of Hannukah and the whole restaurant sang together, which in these trying times was very healing for my soul. This is a new favorite of mine that I plan to return to again and again.

Gorgeous setting. We had river views in summer there are outside tables. A stylish restaurant with a central bar area. The food was fast and delicious and had a great vegetarian selection. About 5mins walk from York Street. Really can’t recommend this place enough.

Sherif was really great and the staff who seemed to work with him were caring, attentive and great at their jobs. Balade really went far to make people feel happy at Christmas. The only challenge (often in small restaurants on holidays) is the outrageous number of undisciplined kids, out way too late, and dogs now. It's too much and next time I won't go there on a holiday. If I have a dog sitting next to me, I'll graciously ask for a check after the first drink and go. I love dogs, but they do not belong in restaurants unless it is outdoor seating and people put restaurants on the spot with this act of absolute self-involved entitlement. This is the rude world we live in now however. My only concern and it didn't ruin our meal only because the staff was so completely great and I was distracted with the wonderful vibe.

We had an amazing dinner during the holiday season. The decor is creative and matches the food which was wonderful. Loved it

Very accomodating and nice service. Good music good vibe. Food was yum
