    Make a reservation before you go. Can not stress that enough. There may be seats at the bar for walk ins. This place has an amazing vibe, delicious food, and great crew. Great for dates or small groups. Standard New York portion sizes. Share plates to be able to try as many dishes as possible.

    Lovely people here. Very friendly and earnest. Warm cozy ambiance. Superb beers, well-done home cooking that isn't trying to be fancy but just soul-fulfilling and delicious. One of the best vibes around!

    This place is great. Literally anything on the menu is good! The ambiance and the records spinning (real vinyl with a disco ball too!) make for a fun time with the food. Make it a weekly stop off - you won’t go wrong.

    I have been wanting to try this place for a long time as I’ve lived a block away for the last 2 years (covid has made it hard). I walked up tonight when it was pretty full (only one couple waiting for a table though..) and waited outside for someone free I could ask about the wait time. A woman comes walking up to me and before I could even finish “how long would it be for a table” she waved her hand in my face and said “ZERO. Not a chance. IMPOSSIBLE.” Totally threw me off. I really wanted to go here but the staff was so rude I do not recommend.

    Bunny is a really nice little authentic Turkish bistro. The menu isn't overly complicated, with some very tasty options from dips, to salads, to a handful of larger entree plates. The dining area isn't very large, so you will be quite cozy with some of the other patrons. This means it might get a little loud, but depending on the mood you're in, that's not necessarily a bad thing. The decor is very charming with unique ceramic lantern style hanging lights sporting Turkish folk designs. There's also a giant photo decal of a bunny on the back of the bathroom door. The food is terrific, especially many of the small and shared plates. The cheesy cigars were incredible with savory, tart, dill infused goat cheese in phyllo wraps. And their plain pide bread is super soft and puffy and addictive, perfect for the labne dip. They also serve traditional Turkish Raki, which if you're a fan of herbaceous, anise flavored drinks like absinthe, is a must have. I didn't even end up trying any of the entrees during my visit, since my partner and I ordered several small plates, so I'm really looking forward to returning and trying some of those.

    I can’t say enough positive things about this cute, cool, comfortable and tasty restaurant. From the moment you walk in, you know you’ve arrived for something special. The front of house team are kind, gentle and smart-they engage. You can tell that everyone who is in the room cares. The food is clean, fresh and presented with thoughtfulness. Get a bottle of wine. It stays within reach!

    Literally incredible food, incredible atmosphere and lovely staff. Would recommend getting a res. Equally, if they have seats at the bar it's also great just to pop in and have some wine and some of their small plates. Love love love it.

    My friend and I had such a unique experience at bunny. Bunny is thoughtfully designed and chic, and the owners are cute. The food is a fusion of Turkish and German and quite tasty. Bunny is definitely a necessary establishment for Bed stuy. Just lovely and will be coming back to try their brunch.

    Food here is good, but the portion size to price ratio is way off. For the prices they are charging, either the food needs to be way better or the portions need to be 1.5x the size. Two appetizers, two drinks, and one entree was $85 before tip, and all the portions are tiny. The corn and watermelon dish, while tasty, is not tasty enough to justify $17 for 5 1” pieces of corn, and 4 legitimately tiny pieces of watermelon - I’m talking each piece is 1 bite! They are charging haute cuisine prices without the taste to back it up.

    I found it a little pricey. But food was really yummy and staff is super friendly / kind. Heads up: you need a reservation AND they don’t take cards (yet?) you can pay with cash or Venmo.

    I came here for dinner last night with a friend. We were seated inside and ordered a bunch of plates to share: the currywurst, tomato salad, shishito peppers, and lamb kofte kebabs. Everything was very delicious! My favorite was the tomato salad and the crispy potatoes that are served with the currywurst. The tomatoes were so flavorful and savory; there’s nothing like perfectly ripe tomatoes in a well-seasoned vinaigrette! We also had a glass of the sparkling Riesling (which was great) and my friend had a Pilsner. We got the baklava for dessert, which was tasty. The restaurant is pretty small inside but they make really great use of the space. The atmosphere is very cozy and I think makes for a wonderful space to bring someone for an intimate conversation; think date night or a place to catch up with an old friend. You won’t need to shout over loud music or a million other people. Lol. The only downside to this place is that you have to email them for reservations, which is a little annoying. But I suppose it’s how they keep the perfect balance of the amount of patrons.

    This restaurant is my #1 favorite in NYC and also #1 in my heart. The labne is a dish I literally dream about and talk about like my life depends on it, and the overall ambiance and crowd is the best ever. If I were on death row, my final meal would be their cheesy cigars, the labne, and a bottle of their amazing wine. I’m obsessed, clearly. Come here! (and sit at the bar!!)

    We discovered Bunny last Friday on a recent visit to Brooklyn. What a gem! The food was delicious and so were the drinks: I had the best Negroni ever. The vibe was relaxed with great music and super friendly staff. Highly recommended!

    Absolutely fantastic place for great food, drinks, and service! Best negronis in the city, and everything the chef makes shows such care and is delicious! The menu is a mix of dishes you’ll see every time (highly recommend the whipped feta and the labne with carrots) and specials based on what’s in season. Have never had a dish I didn’t like. Music is on point, staff is incredibly nice, this is our go to neighborhood date spot!

    Wonderful evening. The whipped feta was delicious and the tabouleh and lamb kofte were magic. And the service was perfect.

    The food is very good and the owners care about the restaurant but the price:portion ratio is way, way off for what is expected. Three of us who weren't particularly hungry came in to check it out and after 2 apps, all 3 entrees and a $150 bill everybody was still hungry and disappointed. For nearly $30 the kofteh kebab should really be more than 4 tiny pieces of meat with nothing on the side. We were not expecting large portions by any means but this is not a fine dining restaurant with intricate dishes.. give the people a LITTLE more food, please! We left hungier than we came in!

    Lovely atmosphere, with a well curated menu that I believe changes often. The owners were lovely and came out several times to check on us and our meal. Had the labneh with zucchini, currywurst, and schnitzel - all fantastic and creative dishes! We look forward to going back!

    All the food is great. We went here a couple of times and I would also only come for a visit for their Baklava. It's absolutely amazing.

    A delicious food experience, bottomless coffee and warm people with great senses of humor; it’s everything you want in a neighborhood brunch spot. Can’t wait to come back for dinner!

    Second time to Bunny and was not disappointed. The food was even better than I remembered. A standout for me was the Garlicky Labne w/ Ras-El-Hanout carrots and chili butter. Was served with homemade, fresh out of the oven bread in a paper bag. Done right. I will say that it was a bit disappointing to only have water to drink (no non-alcoholic beverages.) Feel like I missed out on a part of the experience drinking just water. Overall, a delicious spot for a satisfying meal. Cash or Venmo only.

    Everything tasted absolutely incredible. It was a mix of German and Turkish. The atmosphere was inviting, the service was excellent, but what liked most about the service, was the way the server took the time to explain some of the dishes and what they were becuase some of the names were either German or turkish.. Food, service, atmosphere everythings' "EXCEPTIONAL"!

    The food here is fine, but overpriced. I’ve had Berlin food plenty of times and this was OK. The ambience could be much better, however one of the restaurant managers smoked outside under the awning while we were eating which was not very appetizing. For the price point there are better things in the neighborhood. I wish they had a more accessible menu, i.e. lower prices or better food.

    You've got to experience Bunny! As a family of foodies, we found our selves comparing the food at Bunny to all of our NYC dining experiences on our recent 4th of July trip, and Bunny beat them all with their German and Turkish blended menu. Fresh seasonal flavors in a quaint setting with excellent service. Be sure to try the Cheese Cigars! Bunny will not disappoint.

    A little gem in Bed-Stuy, Bunny is a turkish-german spot. I found the décor very charming! The artisanal lamps on top of each table are so chic and adorable. The food was good, with the chicken schnitzel being a highlight. Everything tasted good, with no frills or surprises. I would have liked to try the baklava, but the kitchen closed and I was not offered dessert. Maybe next time!

    All the food was pretty meh! Very small portions and nothing exciting at all. Dined with 4 people and we all tried different mains and we were all disappointed at the lack of flavor. The appetizer were similarly boring. The kicker was that it was insanely expensive.
