David's — Restaurant in New York

To me, character reflects in the food that is served in any establishment. In that sense, this place fails miserably. Their décor is the color of vomit. There is usually a good amount of food all over the floor, and the chairs, with a bunch of very loud people, very much so including the owner's, screaming into telephones in their outdoor voices, in a small indoor space, while one is trying to eat.

I one time was driving on King's Highway, it was late, after closing time, and I noticed the owner, David, outside, in the street, which by now was empty of any cars at that hour, - pouring the dirty French fries oil into the sewer. Why? Because it cost money to have it disposed of? He doesn't want to ruin his own plumbing, but he will destroy the plumbing of the whole neighborhood, while increasing the mice and rat population, to save a few dollars? While he is charging disgustingly exorbitant prices for his food and the people are paying it? Maybe stop taking the money to Atlantic City faster than its coming in, and you can afford to have your dirty frying oil removed the legal and legitimate way? I'm only speculating here. After all, maybe this family is the first ever to actually win in their compulsive gambling activities.

The straw that broke the camels back, after the horrific décor and headache inducing acoustics, and the dirty oil down the sewer fiasco, was when they hired me to do a project for them, I did the work, it was PR related, and once I concluded the job, they decided they had no use for what they set me out to get done, at an agreed upon price, - so they basically said Eff You, and paid me zero.

I have no issue with interlopers and their infiltration of my Community. Some of my best friends are people who were not born into this thing we have, that we carried over from Syria, that became the envy of many Sephardic people who attached themselves and their families to it over the past three or four generations. But if you are going to join, behave, adhere to the standards, don't degrade the lifestyle with a negative contribution. This family has not done well by us. They are noisy, sloppy, have too many vices, screwed me financially, overcharge us, & serve us G-d knows what in the way of less than fresh food from a not so clean or safe establishment.

I say keep away, at least until they learn how to deal honorably with their hard-working neighbors, and stop bringing extra rats to the...

This place is always packed but I really don't know why. This place really deserves zero stars.

I got there tonight in my party of 3 and was seated after a 15 minute wait. There was missing flatware and the waitress said they didn't have any forks left so we'd have to wait until they were ready. We ordered a rib steak, a skirt steak and a mixed grill. Neither glasses nor water was provided until we asked for them. Although both steaks were ordered medium rare, the skirt steak came well done. The mixed grill steak was overdone and dry while one of the pieces of chicken was underdone. The two steaks came a good five minutes before the mixed grill arrived. It's true that the portions are overflowing, but who wants such an excess of unremarkable food? They did refill the bread and the spicy red cabbage, for which my son awarded them 5 points, but since they were at a negative infinity for their lack of attentiveness to both quality of service and food, it didn't help much in my book. When the waitress came to ask how everything was, we told her all the problems and she just smiled and walked away. Such indifference makes me wonder why people continue to come here. They asked us if we wanted to take the leftovers home but we didn't even want to eat them there, so we left 2 plates of French fries, half of the skirt steak and 4 pieces of the mixed grill.

Definitely go elsewhere -- this place is even worse than T Fusion in Marine Park, and I didn't think that was possible. At least the waiter there jokes around with you about how bad the...

46 years of customers can’t be wrong! Family-based restaurant in Brooklyn which surprises you with everything cooked on site except for pitas. And, boy, do they cook. I went for goulash, fully expecting a soup bowl with several pieces of beef in a paprika sauce. I was wrong, what I got was a Noah’s Ark of abundance. There were dozen pieces of mouth-melting tender beef and a pile of rice. I was served two pieces of bread, a plate of pickled onion and another (!) plate of pickled cabbage. It was filling to say the least. Pita was warm and soft. Pickles had certain bite to them. I couldn’t finish it all in one sitting! I had to get a doggie bag! So I was expecting to pay separately for goulash and multiple side dishes. And you know what? I paid only got goulash - all these side dishes are included in the price. Hall has 12 tables, mostly for 4 persons but there is one which can accommodate up to 10 people. Walls have nice photos of Mediterranean food. Bathroom is clean, they have washing cups if you use them before eating bread. All food is kosher. All in all, great place. Food was to tasty I bit my tongue twice. And I...
