Kif- Ft. Greene

Kif is a cute, mid-range, subterranean, Moroccan/Middle Eastern restaurant. Inside, dark woods pair with candle light and the occasional hookah to create an almost romantic ambiance. But many things about Kif are not as they appear-- Though pleasant, the romantic nature of the restaurant is limited by lack of space, large crowds, and the all too distracting flat screen TV over the bar playing classic movies like "Rear Window" and "Breakfast at Tiffanies."

The first thing I tried at Kif was their yam fries: tempura battered yam slices deep fried and served in a french cone, with spicy ketchup. Notably Al thought that the ketchup was uninspiring, while my only complaint was that there wasn't enough to go around. Overall I'd say the fries were well worth the caloric investment, but are probably best set aside for once per year celebrations.
