There’s a restaurant at the back of Chinantla, a Mexican grocery store on Myrtle between Franklin and Skillman. You might not have guessed it from the exterior. I hear it’s good.
Do you have a secret favorite restaurant in Bed-Stuy? A place that is off the beaten path, hidden behind a secret door or maybe hidden in plain view but so uninviting that no one would know what great food is being served there? I never venture into unusual looking restaurants because, well, I’m just not brave enough, but I’m sure some of you know about hidden gems in the hood. What am I missing? Spread the word and help keep these hidden gems in business!
chinantla’s excellent. definitely. absolutely.
also great: jamaican grill on nostrand.
cozzi pizza #2 is cheap and has some good stuff.
red house has a menu which extends a bit beyond the usual boring chinese-american fare.
myrtle thai is a little inconsistent, but is sometimes great.
tiny cup has amazing breakfast for a reasonable price, and give you a free cookie with a minimum order.
all of these places deliver.
i really want an indian place nearby to do the same!
Bush Baby is a hidden gem which has offers some of the best vegan options in Bed-Stuy.
SARRAH JAMES GREAT HIDDEN GEM HAVE GREAT BRUNCH ON SUNDAYS
John read my mind (or my stomach): Bedstuy is in dire need of some Indian (east Indian, that is) cuisine, even if just a little punjabi take-out joint.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!! Reminds me of Sundays in LA growing up.
I wouldn’t call it hidden since there’s always a good amount of people on line at this place but I love Royal Rib House on Halsey and Throop. Excellent BBQ and their homemade desserts are amazing. Theyre really only open Thursday-Saturday.
I’ve been meaning to get to the Royal Rib House! Thanks for reminding me!
