Consistently one of the better falafel places downtown... The food is always good, and lines are to be expected during busy hours. This location is the original one, and seating is limited to 4-5 people inside this small "room.". Service, however, has taken a tumble when we visited on 11/15/19, as the original founders are no longer there, so have to rely on workers who are obviously not too thrilled with serving the crowds. So come here for the food but that's it.
Their menu is different from what you see on here. The shawarma & bowl are almost of the similar price.
The food is good but a bit higher in price for what you get. The restaurant staff won't smile at you and aren't very polite.

The man working there is incredible! I had a problem with my order and he went above and beyond. The customer service was very personal. I am coming back just because of that. I wish I asked for his name!
The food was 10/10! I got the signature chicken shawarma plate. The meat was juicy and flavourful! The toppings were delicious and they weee generous with the sauce!
Thank you!!

Best falafel outside Israel ! Visiting Manhattan from Texas (Israeli family) and have had this place on my list for a while. Finally stopped in today for a falafel pita sandwich. Downloaded the app and got amazing FREE Hummus & Zatar Pita.
Get the Mint Ginger Lemonade, you’ll thank them after !

If you are vegetarian or eat Kosher, this place is fantastic! If not, it’s an average healthy option for takeout. Their falafel was good, kinda dry. The couscous base was great. The pearls were large which I like. Hot peppers added more flavor, not too spicy. Fries are more limp but the aioli with them is a perfect dipping sauce. My mind wasn’t blown, but it’s a reliably good, healthy meal.
