The food was flavorful/addicting, the service however, was not. I was visiting a friend from out of town & had been out ALL DAY & was famished. My friend just moved in & there was no food. She was working & I had no one to direct me around Bushwick. I Google ""Bushwick takeout"", 2 places came up. NOT similar to my previous visit in Williamsburg where I had to close my eyes & pick a place. After picking the only place that was listed I reviewed the menu & it sounded delicious. I gave them a call. I knew it was late & asked if they were still serving even though they closed in an hour. The hostess said--no problem. I went one step further--could you still deliver? Sure. She starts asking for my info. When she realized where I was (which while talking to her I map quested it just to make sure how far since I had no idea where I was in relation) her polite tone changed immediately. She snottily replied, ""Um, that's too far."" When I pointed out to her that map quest stated it was 1 mile & 5 minutes away she STILL said it was too far. Suddenly, tone to polite, ""Wait, let me ask"". She says the delivery guy was cool, he really didn't mind. I felt bad & told her it was fine, there was no need. She assured me it was fine. Tone changed AGAIN & the whole time I gave her my order, would snottily repeat the order back like she didn't understand or couldn't hear me. My total came to about $14 plus change. Snotty came back with, ""Um, we have a $15 minimum."" Because Miss Thang couldn't have told me that before placing the order, I had to add a soda. When our conversation was over she reminded me ONE MORE TIME that, ""Just so you know for next time, IT'S TOO FAR."" So my food finally arrived & after I gave the delivery bike guy a generous tip, he turned around before mounting his bike & sharply stated, "" JUST SO YOU KNOW, THIS IS TOO FAR."" Service was definitely not impressive, but the food was to die for. If you could just ignore the folks behind the curtain, it's a great place.
Pros: yummy food, pretty big portions
Cons: crappy service, limited deliverability, slightly pricey for takeout
