Huda Brings Syrian Home Cooking to Brooklyn

Huda brings Syrian, Lebanese, and Palestinian home cooking to a Brooklyn bistro on Leonard Street. The kitchen pairs traditional Middle Eastern dishes with modern twists, with rakakat, charred eggplant, and kebab karaz among its named plates. Owner Gehad Hadidi took the name from the community center of his youth, giving the restaurant a personal thread beyond the food. Make room in your plans for sticky date pudding, the dessert diners single out. At 312 Leonard St, this is a focused pick for exploring those family recipe traditions.
