replying to u/petit_aubergine: Sawa that just opened in Park Slope - skip it guys, very mid and horrible service
“The food was fine, but the cocktails were laughably bad. My glass was literally half empty and had no discernible alcohol in it.”

replying to u/keepthephonenumber: Maybe this is too obvious (has ties to both Sofreh and Eyval) but Sawa is great.
“Sawa is incredibly mid IMO, just poorly seasoned basic dishes I could’ve made at home in the hour or so they took to come out of the kitchen.”

replying to u/Upset-Ad-8704: If you decide to stop by Sawa, aside from their akhtabut (octopus) dish that made this list, make sure to try out their muhammara (red pepper hummus) and beef cheek! You can find some of their other must-tries [here](https://dishr.sefino.co/share?url=BCx1tA14eTchPz6MA&ref=r1).
