What to order: Chicken Gyro with Rice Platter · Mix Gyro w/ Rice Platter · Lamb Gyro with Rice PlatterFor $12.50 you get a huge portion of lamb and chicken over rice, plenty of veggies and a can of soda. The veggies are fresh and taste good but for some reason the lamb and chicken really lacks flavor. Even with the white and red sauce, and seasoning. I thought it was just me but my buddy and his sister also said the meat didn’t have any taste. You get a lot of it though and it will fill you up. My local 24 hour bodega and the other one a few blocks away make MUCH tastier lamb and chicken. Also

What to order: Chicken Broccoli · General Tso's Chicken · Sesame ChickenI recently stopped by Halal Express while in the area for an open house and was curious to try this new spot. Halal Chinese food isn’t that common in Brooklyn, so I thought it was interesting enough to give it a shot. The setup is what you’d expect from a classic Chinese fast food restaurant: a straightforward, no-frills interior with a few tables for dine-in, and a counter where you place your order. Behind the counter, two large screens display the full menu along with some daily specials. Ho

What to order: Sesame Chicken · Wonton Soup · Beef Lo MeinThis place is a straight-up local legend. If you know, you know. Do not judge a book by its cover... what matters here is the food, and it is packed with flavor, cooked perfectly, and hits that rare “how is this this good?” level. And the wonton soup? Hands down the best I’ve ever had. Portions are generous, prices are very fair. Absolute 10/10.

So glad I discovered this place on Instagram, I came here initially to celebrate my mom's birthday. Cross Road has become one of my go to spots for happy hour. The food and service has been on point since day one. Big compliments to the chef and staff. I'm never disappointed dining here. Ernesto is one of the best bartenders here. He's such a genuine soul, so professional and friendly. There's always nice specials that's they offer as well. I would highly recommend dining here!

This hidden gem is amazing for speciality slices such as BBQ Chicken Pizza. The regular slices are ok at best, yet Pizza Central also has a myriad of other items such a Philly Cheesesteaks that make it worth while. It’s fairly priced and the service is fantastic. If you want great specialty slices and you’re in southern Brooklyn this is a definite go to lunch or dinner spot!
