π 4/5 - A Great Brooklyn Gem

I was in Brooklyn for the Frida Kahlo exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, and didn't want to go too far afield (i.e., Williamsburg) for dinner. A little research led me to La Vara, and it was a great choice.
The restaurant is in a residential neighborhood and is very small but comfortable enough. The service was pleasant and helpful. As a solo diner going to a tapas restaurant is a bit of a challenge. I eat solo a lot for various reasons, but it is definitely more fun to be with friends in a restaurant like this so you can share plates. But, no matter, I dove in.
The menu wasn't quite what I expected, and I was glad of it. No papas bravas, no iberico ham, etc. Heavy on Middle Eastern ingredients and flavors, nearly everything was terrific. I selected fried chickpeas (amazingly good) as a nibble to start; a cucumber/grain/yogurt dish that was one of my favorite bites of my whole 4-day trip; fried artichoke hearts with anchovy aoli; gurullos pasta (long rods of pasta that were soft like gnocchi) with browned butter and sumac, and a Galacian almond cake with drunken cherries.
My only quibbles were with the artichokes (where the outer leaves had gotten leathery), and the cake which was a little overdone. Other than that, everything was perfect. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
