Where to Spend Mother’s Day in Brooklyn
- Photo by Caroline Voagen Nelson
Run by mother and daughter team Rawia and Jumana Bishara, this Middle Eastern restaurant was the first to lure Manhattanites across the bridge, and into the Southern Brooklyn neighborhood of Bay Ridge. So reserve your table now if you want a shot at Freekah with Lamb, Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate Syrup and Tahini, Stuffed Baby Eggplant, and impossibly creamy Hummus on Mother’s Day. Because as Rawia once told us, “I’ve had to turn my own husband away during dinner hours more than once.”
