When family and friends come to visit Brooklyn, the first question on most people’s minds is: Where are we going to eat?

There’s such an incredible — and overwhelmingly diverse — restaurant scene in Ditmas Park alone, we put together a list of sit-down dinner spots that are sure to impress.

We drew from different ends of the neighborhood, a mix of tried-and-true staples and crowd-pleasing newcomers that have quickly become part of the Ditmas food fabric.

We hope these selections make it easier to make those last-minute decisions to please your entire holiday crew.

**Ramen:** [**Bashi Channel**](http://www.bashibrooklyn.com/?ref=bklyner.com)  
There are two hot spots for Ramen just blocks from each other — Bashi Channel features soup dumplings, bánh mì sandwiches, spicy ramen, and a many tables for parties large and small. The place is usually [jam-packed with neighbors](/blog/food/bashi-channel-celebrates-soft-opening-will-hold-grand-opening-this-saturday/) laughing and clinking glasses of beer and wine, so reserve ahead for large groups. For a smaller alternative that’s also truly delicious, try [Koko Ramen](https://www.yelp.com/biz/koko-ramen-brooklyn?ref=bklyner.com) on Marlborough Road.

**Bonus: [Suzy’s Roti Parlour](https://www.yelp.com/biz/suzys-roti-parlour-brooklyn?ref=bklyner.com)**  
This Caribbean spot replaced Shayna’s on Church Avenue this summer, and we were delighted to learn that they’ve taken their predecessor’s cuisine to the next level. [We tasted the oxtail and roti](/blog/food/bite-day-roti-oxtail-suzys-roti-parlour/) and it was delicious. Though they’ve upgraded the decor and cleaned up the inside, it’s still a small place and we wouldn’t recommend bringing a large group.

**Where:** 907 Church Avenue at the corner of East 10th Street (one block from Coney Island Avenue).  
**Phone:** 718-282-8190  
**Hours:** 11:30am–9pm, Monday through Saturday.
