My family and I would go to Black Iris when they were at their old location in Brooklyn. I enjoyed the new location as well! The food was delicious and adequate portions. For appetizers my group ordered a mixed platter. The app came with beets, pita, chick peas etc. It was a great app for 4-5 people to share. We each ordered different dishes: Chicken Souvlaki, Chicken Ouzi, Lamb Sausage (merguez)and Lambajin Pitzaa, and Shish Kebab. The favorite dishes were the Chciken Ouzi and the Lambajin Pitzaa. Both dishes were flavorful and we would order again. The lamb in the Shish Kebab plate was a bit dry. The ambience is nice and the restaurant does get loud if crowded. The service was adequate. I will be back to dine at the Black Iris!

I have been going to Black Iris for years and I cannot begin to tell you how much I adore this place. The owner, Adam, is an exceptional human being. His staff are equally amazing. The location is perfect for those looking for a late night meal, a place for a nice date, a get-together, or even family time. There is indoor seating but also a lot of outdoor seating. Recently, they also included an ice cream station outside. Now the main reason you, like me, will enjoy this place is because of the food. I swear by two meals: chicken kebab sandwich and the chicken gyro sandwich. Both are absolutely delicious. Even though they end in "sandwich," they are actually warm pita wraps. And for the price point, I don't think you can find any better in the area. They are usually served with a delicious tzatziki sauce. The chicken is always well seasoned and juicy, so trust me you will enjoy it. I cannot begin to speak on this place more! It is truly a one of a kind experience, and if you go often, they will treat you like family.

Delicious food and great seating options (outdoor covered, outdoor picnic tables, and indoors). They have multiple vegan and plant-based options which are delicious. The chickpea croquettes (falafel) for brunch came with a dip or rice, salad, and bread. If you're looking for a weekend brunch option, it's very easy to walk in here. Everything is delicious and the food is prepared pretty quickly.
