    Restaurant info

    Wayward Fare is a rustic and elegant culinary journey nestled in the heart of the Prospect Heights, Brooklyn neighborhood. Our seasonally charged menu weaves together a tapestry of some lesser-known Mediterranean flavors. Chef Akhtar Nawab has added personal touches of his well-traveled background to every dish, taking cues from the Mediterranean and liberties from nearby regions, that speak to the global heartbeat of New York City.
