Master Critic Review

12 Chairs Cafe 8.2
East Flatbush-Farragut
All-day Israeli–Mediterranean cafe on Wythe where shakshuka, hummus, and big Israeli breakfasts anchor a menu built for sharing. It’s the neighborhood’s go-to when a table needs proper brunch plates, mezze, and wine without leaving South Williamsburg.
Must-Try Dishes: Israeli breakfast with salads, spreads, and pita, Classic shakshuka, Hummus with falafel
