I love Simply Sweets! Their products are always so fresh and delicious! The customer service is excellent as well. As a vegan, I feel so lucky to have this amazing place in our neighborhood. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves healthy, gluten free, plant-based, vegan, and of course delicious sweets!
I have been to this restaurant (both UES and Emmons locations) many times in the past 2 years, and the food is always delicious. Likewise, they have live music in their Emmons location. Furthermore, they have gluten-free options, which is great but cost a little bit extra.
They are fairly knowledgeable about gluten. We were able to have the hibachi there without a problem. Gluten free hibachi was prepared in the back on a separate grill. Their miso soup is not GF and they knew that. Would return.
I am a huge fan of Turkish cuisine and perhaps very critical when it comes to the quality of the food. I have tried lahmacun and pide in various Brooklyn cafes and restaurants over the last five years, but none of them match the quality of Burchal's. This is a mouthful statement, and I am not shy to assert that the quality of pide and lahmacun at Burchal's is unmatched.
There is a perfect crispiness to the dough, and the meat is very fresh.
Pide and lahmacun were both mouth-watering, bursting with authentic flavors.
Turkish tea was also freshly brewed, and the aroma of black tea filled the sitting area. As the Turkish cuisine enthusiasts will agree, a fresh Turkish tea's fragrant flavor, rich color, and non-bitter aftertaste indicate its freshness, and Burchal cafe mastered this as well. After eating gluten-containing food, it is so satisfying to sip a fresh tea to aid digestion.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the chocolate baklava was a gastronomical orgasm in itself. From the first bite of warmed-up baklava, you'll be engulfed by the aroma of high-quality cocoa and pistachios-- a match made in heaven.
The owners should continue to put quality first!
Recommendations for improvement: consider hanging a flashing banner on the door. This little gem is easy to overlook in the neighborhood! While I think it's nice that you're serving pide and lahmacun over newspaper, I'd suggest saving trees, ink and in over-head costs :)
You definitely won my heart and I will be back.

One of the best halal cart experiences I’ve had in NYC, was not expecting it at this corner spot in Brooklyn. I’m from CA and was looking for my halal kick before I left and am so glad I found this spot. The food was super fresh and delicious. I have celiac and most (no bread or fish) was gluten free. I usually hate lamb (too gamey) and he let me try it and it was delicious here! They also make their falafel fresh from raw in the fryer on the spot, it is not premade. The best most crispy on the outside and soft on the inside falafel I’ve ever had. And to top it all off, the guy running the cart and owner was such a friendly guy, was very flexible, happy to let me sample and was just so friendly - worth stopping by and saying hi. I will be back on my next visit! (I wish I took a pic of the food, the pics on here don’t represent at all)
The burgers are great and have a big selection. (Low carb and Gluten free options available) The people very nice and generous! I’ll definitely be back
