Palestinian Taboon Flatbreads and Hearty Ouzi Lamb
Palestinian cooking turns fresh taboon breads and ouzi lamb into a generous Brooklyn table worth sharing.
🫓 From The Taboon
At 151 Atlantic Ave, Al Badawi makes Palestinian cooking feel generous from the first plate. The menu moves through hummus, lahm bil ajeen, mansaaf, and hearty meat platters, with taboon flatbreads bringing a fresh baked edge to the table. Generous portions make the whole spread easy to share.
Start with the pistachio cheese flatbread, then follow it with ouzi lamb, tender and served over well seasoned rice. Pass the hummus around as the taboon breads land, and let the lahm bil ajeen and mansaaf fill out the middle of the meal. The kitchen cooks halal, outdoor seating opens up the room on warmer days, and a solid lunch special menu makes Al Badawi an easy midday stop on Atlantic Avenue.
Leave space for tahini booza and Arabian coffee, the traditional sweets that close out the menu. Reviewers give Al Badawi a 4.7 rating from 2,523 ratings, with warm service and generous portions recurring in the praise.
