  1. Ordered from here off of seamless yesterday and it was damn good.
    My only annoyance was I ordered a chicken kebab and got beef instead. (sup wit dat?)
    Kebab – was very moist, flavors were decent. Hope I get the chicken next time…
    Spicy fries – not even remotely spicy, however comes with a really good spicy sauce
    Red cabbage – good
    Potato salad – really yum
    Israeli salad – eh, boring
    Pita bread – fresh, fluffy, yum

    Tasty place.

  2. This is my favorite falafel spot! Luckily it's very close to my house. Everything is soo fresh. At first I was disappointed that the pita was not warmed, but really that would just melt all the delicious hummus, tahini, and hot sauce. The hot sauce is amazing. I really want to ask them how they make it. The guy that's always in the store is the owner and he's pretty chill. This is my go to lunch spot.

  3. This place is insanely good.

    I mean, they are a bunch of rude pricks and that just adds to it.

    They are really, really good.

    I get the shwarama from them. It is tender. It is flavorful. It has the perfect amount of grease to pita to salad.

    Their spicy tomato salad is just what it says. So many times I go into a place and order the spicy so and so and it is bland…I don't know why. Maybe old people like ordering something called spicy so they feel young, but don't want to to actually be spicy because they are old AF. I can't say.

    But if you order something spicy here you best believe it will be exactly what you want.

    The meat is always perfect. Veggies are always flavorful and fresh.

    I can't speak to anything other than their Shwarma. This is saying something because usually I will order a bunch of different things before deciding if I like a place or not, but the Shwarma is so good that I can't bring myself to ordering anything else.

    Also, as far as shwarma / pita places go this place is the cleanest one I have ever seen and, I am guessing, the cleanest one that has ever existed. I mean, I thought being totally filthy was just part of what it meant to be slinging rotating meat and falafel, but apparently it is not only possible to do this in a clean environment, but the results are amazing.

    Go to this place, order a shwarma and have some deliciousness.  Like really, really delicious.

    As a side note, in case this kind of stuff matters to you….they are kosher. Not kosher style, not kind of kosher, they have a sink near the tables and a framed picture of the Lubavitcher Rebbe on the wall kind of kosher.

  4. Seriously overpriced unless you get the recession special. It's a smaller version of the full priced menu items but enough to satisfy. The falafel is tasty and crispy, the shwarma is savory. Recession special falafel sandwich is $4 and the shwarma is a few bucks more. You get to  choose 2 of the items from the salad bar to put inside the falafel (hummus, tahini, hot sauce included in addition to 2 salads). You'll pay upwards of $17 for a falafel or shwarma platter.. stick with the recession special, you can't go wrong 😉

  5. Nice cozy spot. Salads are very fresh and delicious. Split the falafel platter and it included salads. Paided $17. Bit pricey I think, but it did taste very good. Overall, friendly place, quick service and good food.

  6. Small place specializing in falafel and shawarma. I tried the chicken shawarma platter which came with a pita and three choices of salad. They have a steam table at the counter where they scoop out your choices for you. I chose the eggplant salad, potato salad, and hummus. All three of them were not bad and tasted quite fresh. The chicken shawarma though was very dry, so i wouldn't get it again. They do give you a very generous of meat though. Next time, I may come back to see how the falafel is.
