The falafel is crispy, flavorful, and super satisfying every single time, amazing sandwiches, which is why it is so easy to keep going back. After what feels like 100 visits, the place really feels like a favorite go-to for a fast, delicious meal.“

“אוכל זה לא הצד החזק של ניו יורק. נקודה! (גם קפה) גילינו ששף ישראלי פתח מסעדה, אלי בוסקילה שמו. נסענו לוויליאמסבורג לבדוק. המסעדה נקראת ״המסיבה״ ואכן היתה שם מסיבה גדולה. מקום מקסים, מעוצב בצורה מדהימה, רמת שירות גבוהה שלא רואים בכל מקום, כל כל הרבה עובדים מקצועיים ומסבירי פנים. והעיקר, האוכל, למות!!!! כל מנה מיוחדת וטעימה. מהחמוצים ועד המנה העיקרית. זיהיתי מיד סממנים בלקניים וטעמים שהזכירו לי את המטבח של סבתא ויקטוריה ז״ל. זכינו להכיר את השף, להרים איתו כוסית ואף התבקשנו לנסות קינוח חדש ולתת פידבק. הקינוח המושלם היה טעים ומבשר את בוא האביב. מומלץ בחום. ובהצלחה לאלי המקסים.“

“It is the best persian food I have tried in New York. The staff was friendly and professional.The owner is very kind, also he is the former goal keeper of Persepolis soccer team of Iran.“

“Absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait to return!“

“👍🏻delicious Palestinian food“

“The beautiful, intimate atmosphere and absolutely top notch comfort food would be worth it alone - BUT the service was also awesome. After we were graciously seated without a reservation (try to book ahead because you really won't want to miss this place), the staff was so kind, friendly, and attentive. Absolutely everything we had was wonderful but the knafeh actually brought a tear to my eye. ❤️ Absolutely would recommend 5 out of 5 stars.“

“Amazing place! Owner, food and service wow!!!“

“solid spread - muhammara is a must. great dips and the chicken shawarma was really good. sweet potato and salmon were phenomenal as well. great flavor all round, smaller portions. really nice spot to catch up with friends and easier res to get. not a omg wow but super solid and good neighborhood go to.“

“Amazing place! Owner, food and service wow!!!“

“We really enjoyed our experience at Gazala's. Very reasonable prices for Manhattan. Excellent food. Very friendly and professional staff. Even the pickiest members of our party enjoyed it. I highly recommend it.“

“Visited Alkumah to try the Viral Crunchy Shawarma wrap and it definitely did not disappoint! The sweet sauce on it provided a tangy flavor that complimented the wrap. It was super filling and I was full before I finished eating it. The crunchiness of the wrap was just perfect and it was still hot and toasty as I ate it. Highly recommend a visit!“

“I’m so happy my sister introduced me to this place. Anytime I’m hungry between work this is my go to. The food is yums and filling, pita tastes like it’s made fresh, and the customer service is above and beyond. Gives me smiles every time I head over there“

“ATEHNTIC FOOD EXCELLENT QUALITY SITTING AREA IS GOOD“

“I’ve been meaning to come to this place to have their falafel. It’s a little bit of a walk from my work but I made the trek out today because I had some time, and I am very glad I did. They were incredibly kind to me and gave me a sample of their lentil soup, and their iced coffee was really good too. I was going to go to a fancy coffee place and I enjoyed Rakka’s iced coffee even more than I would have enjoyed the offerings at a specialty shop. I ordered a falafel sandwich and it was very good. Everything was super fresh. I asked about their lentil soup and they very kindly gave me a sample. It was delicious and I am now hooked, I’ll definitely be back soon. Give Rakka a try!!!!“

“I would have given a "5" rating for atmosphere if not for flies outside around our food. I also don't like the hookah smoking. Other than that, the service and the food were Perfect!!!“

“We love this place. The food is superlative, the staff are attentive, cant think of anywhere netter for milescaround.“

“Good Luck � My Friend“

“Great food and very accommodating staff…highly recommended and I will return.“

“Always a hit. Service is great“

“Had the tasty falafel waffle and fava bean salad for lunch. Great vegetarian options plus a beautiful atmosphere and friendly service. Look forward to returning.“

“Stopped in for lunch during a conference nearby. The falafel appetizer was filling, tasty, and with just a bit of heat. And the proprieter was delightfully friendly, throwing in a bit of hummus and a pita. A dessert of baklava was sweet without being sickly or cloying or too wet. And the price with a soft drink was less than $12, which is a real bargain. I'll be back again if I'm in the area.“

“A very nice place to check out if you’re into mediterranean cuisine! Excellent vegetarian options and delicious food. But if you’re someone who enjoys good service like me then this is not the place. after being sat down for 15 mins the server gave the menu. After reminding 3 times, we finally got water which was bottled and we were not told about I assumed they would bring tap water and on top of that they will randomly put 15% or 18% tip irrespective of party size. Waiting for menu for 15 mins and then waiting for water not sure what kind of service one is getting and to top it off getting the drinks ordered post meal! Again if you’re a foody then this a good place to try but not for the service.“

“Delicious, quick, and such nice staff! I love the veggies and the pickles along with the wonderfully herbaceous hot sauce!“

“We came from Canada to New York and decided to try this place while we were in Brooklyn; and we’re really glad we did. It’s a great spot. The entrance door is beautiful, almost like an old European shop, which gives it a lot of charm. The owners are incredibly kind and friendly, genuinely some of the nicest people we’ve met. The food was amazing; honestly one of the best falafel sandwiches I’ve ever had, packed with fresh vegetables. The salad was also very tasty, and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended!“

“the appetizers were stunning, great service and great atmosphere, friendly and professional waiters“

“let me tell you all something people of Teaneck. you need to come to sababa grill!!!!. the food is fresh, yummy and delicious. everything you get will blow your minds and pallet. I highly recommend the Moli and Dani shawarma. the brisket for Shabbat is Divine. Dani is a pleasure to talk to and he operates his business like no other. much respect Dani keep doing what you do and can't wait to come back this week“

“The best!!! Makes your tastebuds dance 😋“

“Want to make your pallet dance? Of course you do! Boutros is the place to go from their tantalizing cocktails to their original baba ghanoush and falafel you’ll be simply amazed. Old school, traditional recipes with a twist of new flare. Mikey is a wizard for creating his cocktails. I had the pleasure of trying two of them that he created after thinking about them for 12 years and I highly recommend them the Garlic Gibson and the Bitter tree, both are amazing. Allen, who is the chef and owner and named this quaint little place after his dad will delight you with his specialties my Sister and I had the mushroom hummus. The short rib wraps are beautiful salad and baba ghanoush to name a few. Hurry up, you won’t be disappointed!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Service was amazing! Would come back again, solid quality food and happy to have halal fine dining in the city. Wife was vegetarian but one of the first chicken dishes she had was the chk kobideh and has been a staple in our home. We order delivery regularly but it's a treat to come sit in. Make sure to ask for Esra.“

“I just see this place and get in ,Lentil soup was delicious. Veggie and meat options are so many. And mint tea was so good., I would recommend highly this place, give a shot, I don’t think you will regret., Enjoy it and Thank you Lava team members.“

“For a quick lunch on-the-go, NAYA has the perfect options! Their pita pockets are a brilliant idea that I’m glad they’ve brought to the scene, and the flavors they offer are great. I loved the Falafel and Chicken Shawarma Pockets, and their Za’atar Chips went great with the various dips and sauces they offer, my favorite being the Baba Ghanoush. Highly recommend to all!“

“The greatest hummus I’ve ever had in my life. Hummus kitchen is the one place we always visit when in nyc.“

“I’ve been going to Ibby’s since they first opened. If you want good food, this is the place to go. Their falafels are like no other!! They have the best falafels in N.J. Hands down!“

We had the best server we could have asked for named, Martina, she was friendly and had a great sense of humor, Her menu knowledge was excellent, She recommended the Duck and Short Ribs, which were excellent.
