It's all right, and it's definitely better than the greasy place it replaced. I got the lemonade, spicy hummus and their special with fries that day and it came out to be pretty hefty even for all I ordered. I ended up waiting for my food to come out last amongst my co-workers even though I had ordered first. I think next time-and there probably will be since it's so close to my job I'll just go with the quicker option of the dip/salad combo but that just seems a little overpriced as well.
Since discovering this gem 4 months ago, Souk & Sandwich has really fallen off the cliff.
When I saw this place, I immediately thought that it was the sister eatery of Souk El Shater in Sunnyside, which I am a fan of, so naturally, I thought I was going to fall in love with this place…and I did. After my first bite onto the Shisk Taouk sandwich, I was hooked. Sure, the garlic toum was so strong, it left me resistant to much chit-chat for the rest of the day, but it was an explosion of different flavors and spices. There was a sufficient amount of chicken, so the amount of ingredients in the sandwich were pretty fair. I've also had the Falafel Sandwich, and it isn't as great as I've had it at other places; the falafel itself is pretty flat and the sandwich isn't as flavorful as the Shisk Taouk.
Fast-forward a few months later, I come back and I can tell this place has been overwhelmed with orders and quality has really gone down with it. The wrap itself was supposed to be the most essential part of the wrap–it was slightly grilled, which made it so delicious–but it just…isn't that great anymore. It's one of the cheaper options in the area (ranges from ~$8-$10) since lunch can easily cost you an average of $12, but still pricey for a wrap sandwich, which you can usually get for around $5 or $6 in the outer boroughs.
Good new option for healthy food in the area. I ordered a veggie combo dish, The platter was tasty and the service is quick and friendly. This area desperately needs more healthy on the go food so this place is a great addition. At $9.50 for a lunch meal it's a bit expensive so I don't know how often I'll eat here.
I'm a fan of the Arnabeet Mekle Sandwich (marinated fried cauliflower,tomatoes & tahini sauce -$7.50) and I'm a fan of the vegitarain lunch combo (choice of 3 salads or dips for $9.25). Service is usually very fast and nice. I have only had a chance to try a small part of their menu, but I've liked everything I've tried, and I am especially impressed that they have six different vegetarian sandwiches. Much better choice than Ba'al.
I had meat and veggies combo – one meat with 2 dips. I had the hummus, labneh, and kabob chicken. It comes with a side of Lebanese bread. The food was good – the labneh dip was quite delightful. But it just didn't feel like it was worth it. I had more dip than bread and it only came with just a few pieces of chicken – maybe 4 tops. I ended up buying a bag of pita chips from the vending machine at work because I ran out of bread to finish my dips.
I might come back but I feel like there's more options for delicious Lebanese than this.
