Why dine here
Al Badawi is the sister restaurant to Ayat and occupies a large, mural-lined dining room on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn Heights. Its Palestinian menu is designed for the center of the table, with oversized clay-oven bread and generous platters establishing a communal scale from the beginning.
What to expect
Mansaf places lamb and rice under a fermented jameed yogurt sauce; maqluba turns a pot of rice, meat and vegetables upside down into a layered mound. Musakhan lays sumac-rich onion and chicken over taboon bread, allowing olive oil and roasting juices to soak into the base.
Before you go
Mixed grills, hummus, baba ghanoush, falafel, salads and stuffed vegetables widen the meal while keeping the Palestinian repertoire coherent. The official operator site confirms active Brooklyn Heights and Upper East Side locations, and the restaurant’s continued association with Ayat supports its established halal dining identity.
