“I know this place just opened, but I extremely highly recommend. A few of my friends came to eat here and so I decided to give it a try. Walking in, I was surprised how there was literally no one there but a ton of workers which I guess was great for me as they were super attentive. I was a bit surprised by the prices were pretty high for something that was supposed to be take-out, but the minute they start making the shawarma, I knew why it was more expensive. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma platter and it was delicious! Perhaps one of the best shawarmas I've had in the city. First of all, they gave us a platter just for all the toppings, did I mention that they are unlimited, that they had. Sometimes the toppings don't have that much flavor, but each one was very complex and flavorful. The chopped salad was light and fresh which balanced out the finely chopped pickles which added a sour taste. The red cabbage slaw which was slightly savory and slightly sour balanced out the onions that had a slight charred on it. I was so delighted by all the different toppings, which is where I think the place definitely shines. The chicken itself was okay, tender but not crazier than normal. Overall, I had an amazing experience and especially with the portion sizes, the platter could easily feed a family of 4 with additional leftovers. I think it will take me at least 6-7 meals before eating it all but I did add some of my own rice to counteract the bounty of flavors. I will say that they don't automatically give you the rice or the fries so big reminder to ask them for that when you come.“
“Underrated GEM! How lucky am I to have found this place? Mediterranean food is growing on me and I crave it so often now. Finding this place is a game changer! While I wasn't expecting a place like this to have $25 menu items, it's totally worth it! We got the grilled lamb chops for $25 which is a bit pricey but believe me when I tell you it's worth it! While waiting for our takeout, we chatted up the nice lad at the counter who was kind enough to tell us more about the neighborhood and what there is to do out here. Place is small and basic, i would likely order for takeout than dine in.“
“All of these old school Gyro shops are closing their doors. Proper Greek gyro on the pit, very fresh, delicious, quick and for a fair price. Worth the trip down from Mahwah now and again. The staff is very friendly and the place is small and very clean.“
“This place feels like a true NYC grab and go shop. First of all the food is excellent. So good. So fresh. Packed with TONNES of flavour. It’s also really well priced for how much food you get. Just good authentic middle eastern cuisine.But it’s more than that - when we visit we try to stop by because the family that owns it is just great. They make conversation. Remember your order. Talk to you like your family. Just great vibes all around.“
“Their hummus is beyond amazing. The taste of creaminess at the end. How they make it I have no idea. Now I’m in trouble I need get these! So recommend to anyone. Make sure you get falafel and eat it within, the best way to have your falafel. It’s crispy so good. It’s better than any places I ever tried. Highly recommendedVegetarian options: So many options. Just order it if your debating. One of the best. Better than any famous place“
“I was there the other day, I like my shawarma without many bells and whistles, I really like the red pickled turnips, a few pickles, Hummus (NO tahinie - it's do dominant of a flavor) and a touch of hot sauce. I was disappointed observing no turnips, my #1 condiment. Imagine my surprise when he brought me the sandwich and the welcomed sight of turnips was there, yay!! amazing service, the meat was just right, tangy, fresh and delicious, although not an option on the menu, I asked for a chicken / lamb mix and received exactly what I asked for!Calm relaxed atmosphere, simple yet welcoming. Very, very highly recommended!Vegetarian options: Falafel , a great choice“
“Best shawarma & falafel in the city. Great overall experience. The owner was extremely kind and welcoming. My wife and I went in and placed our order and were treated with a free delicious falafel and some karak chai while we waited on our food. Food did not disappoint and will definitely be going back. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.“
“I've been looking for a place like this since moving to NYC. They're easy to find in London but a little harder in NYC dependent on the neighbourhood. I'm a huge fan of Middle Eastern, North African and South Asian food. The owner is very friendly, the food is authentic and flavourful, prices are excellent - I'll definitely be back again soon!Wheelchair accessibility: Door is adjacent to sidewalk.“
“OMG, everything I’ve had here is amazing! The staff is lovely and friendly also. Can’t say enough good things, just go and get some mouth watering food. I go there once every few weeks because, I never want to get tired of it. Great choice for vegans and vegetarians also.Vegetarian options: Best moist falafels, humus, baba ghanoush. cauliflower is amazing, salads“
“A great place! Falafel and everything else is absolutely scrumptious and the service is excellent. I go here now several time a week and I just love it. I was so sad when Jerusalem Restaurant closed, but now I grieve no more. Don't hesitate to patronize Zurna.“
“I’ve been coming here for years since they have a small food truck and right now they’re upgraded! I’m happy for them. I love the food here, nice location just right next to Lexington 63 station, good price, the staff is friendly and they also accept Apple Pay and cards.“
“The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the service was prompt. Whether you're a local looking for a quick, satisfying lunch or in need of a dependable catering partner, this Vegetarian Falafel Food Truck has got you covered. I can't recommend it enough!“
“What a find ...am picky but this place checks all the boxes be it flavor , cleanliness, fresh, friendly staff, portion size and by the way fries are just amazing . Yes the meat did felt a little bit chewy but am sure the team is working on it and get there soon .. hoping to get there soon again.“
“Jerusalem Pizza Falafel is definitely one of the best establishments in the Passaic Park area. I absolutely love the falafel, which is always of a generous size and very much well worth the extra expense. Their soups are always tasty, my favorite being the lentil, and the knishes (my loves being the kasha and the spinach) are delicious. It's always a great take home for me, and I can't give enough superlatives to the staff, all of whom make you feel welcome (once you get to the counter).Vegetarian options: There are numerous vegetarian and vegetable dishes that are available for consumption if one is not eating meat.Kid-friendliness: There's always a group of kids in the restaurant, all having a good time enjoying the food and themselves.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair accessible entrance that comes in quite conveniently for those who are mobility impaired, and the aisles are wide enough to service those in wheelchairs and walkers.Dietary restrictions: There are numerous restrictions and specifications in a traditional Jewish diet, and rules that must be adhered to. Jerusalem Pizza on its menu board lists everything available according to the rules it follows in a simple understandable way.“
“Hands down this is the best falafel I have ever had. So fresh, so tasty, and is truly made with love. The interior of this restaurant is very unique and homey. I also had the kufta sandwich that has since become my new favourite. The service is always top notch and the plate presentation is always very impressive.“
