Visitors can now add another reason to stop by. Just steps from the Brooklyn Flea, NINA is a new restaurant that focuses on fresh, seasonal ingredients and seeks to create a warm environment where sharing plates add to the fun.
Chef Sagi Azrouel leads the kitchen and has managed to create multiple dishes that are delicious and beautifully presented. Azrouel explains, “I care for every little detail but mostly the taste. Cooking is my love language and hosting is in my blood. I believe each person will feel at home.” The vibe is indeed homey and boisterous; this is place where families and friends can happily gather for tasty meals and terrific service.
To start, why not try a few of the “small plates.” These are ideal for sharing and the small size means you can indulge in quite a few. Favorites include carpaccio eggplant with burnt tomato sauce, mahi-mahi ceviche in endive cups, hummus and a variety dips served with house-made bread. Another highlight are the salads. The “Evergreen Crunchy Herbs” include multiple greens, herbs and vegetables topped with pomegranate seeds, the tabbouleh incorporates scallions, fresh mint, dried apricots, pecans and lemon peel and the arugula salad features sunflower seeds, cranberries, parmesan and orange peel.
The main courses are another crowd pleaser. The schnitzel is a favorite and is served with tomato sauce, tahini and preserved lemons. Vegetarians will love the “veggie schnitzel,” which is just as indulgent and is made from eggplant. The skirt steak is perfectly cooked and arrives with chimichurri sauce and excellent roasted potatoes and the “Tavern Fish” arrives whole and makes quite an entrance. Desserts tend to be on the lighter side and include a chocolate mousse cloud topped with halva chunks, and a deconstructed cheesecake that is extremely fluffy and infused with lemon.
This 162-seat restaurant has several dining nooks and a spacious bar. Floor-to-ceiling windows create a light filled space and reasonable prices make it the type of place that is likely to turn neighborhood guests into regulars. However, NINA is also worth a trip from anywhere in New York City.
