Falafel near Hoboken, NJ

“Decided to take a chance on a Google recommendation. It was in ,proximity to my work so I took a walk. Glad that I did. I ordered the Swarma sandwich, a side of Falafel, and pistachio baklava (to satisfy my greedy spirit). Everything 10 out of 10. Very fresh. You know how some restaurants over fry the falafel, and it's like a little rock, well not here!!! I highly recommend- the quality of food will not disappoint.“

“3 Falafel plates, 1 Spinach pie plus drinks for $50.

The food is AMAZING!!!!!!

I can't stress enough how good it is here.

If you live locally and don't come here, well I think your mad.

If you are visiting Manhattan and don't come across the water to eat here. Well I still think your mad.

This is how Falafel and Hummus is supposed to taste.“

“A rare 5 stars from me. Make sure you find him, he's in a row of random food stalls and is a bit nondescript compared to them.

Price is now $10 for falafel sandwich but still the best value meal in all Manhattan. Very generous with the fillings, cutlery and napkins etc and he also gave two pieces of fried dough with it which was a nice surprise.

Drinks priced very reasonably at $2 each only.

This stall practices all-in pricing so the price advertised is what you get. Hats off to it“

“We only use the best ingredients. Cozy, family owned and ran.“

“Not even one of the best, THE BEST falafel in NYC. Didn’t have time to take a picture because you have to eat this falafel 🥙 not taking pictures ! Thank you!“

“Absolutely amazing food and magi drink is yummmmmy!“

“I went here for lunch yesterday and had the Hanger Steak on Whole Wheat Pita (it was on the specials menu) and it truly made my day. So flavorful with sautéed onions and a delicious side salad. I HAD to write a review to help spread the news, the food was fresh and unbelievably good and the service was top notch. <3“

“Absolutely Incredible Experience! “I cannot recommend Alkofeia highly enough! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality that made us feel right at home. The authentic Palestinian flavors were absolutely unforgettable — every dish was vibrant, rich, and perfectly seasoned. The fresh homemade pita, the perfectly spiced lamb ouzi, and the shawarma platter were all standout dishes. The portions were generous, the service was friendly and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere just added to the whole experience. The attention to detail, from the olive oil appetizer to the dessert, showed how much care goes into every plate. This is hands-down one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants we’ve ever visited, and we’ll be back again and again! Highly recommend to anyone who loves real, heartfelt cuisine.” ❤️“

“Love the food“

“Next time I come here I’m stealing their recipe. Amazing Yemeni place. Got the beef bowl with a side of pita and I will be dreaming about this spot. Made the beef right in front of me. Owners are super nice and helpful and gave me amazing recs. Please go here.“

“Family friendly… nice view“

“The food here is so good! The staff is very nice, you can order inside or use their digital kiosks outside. There is only outdoor seating but it’s perfect for the summer. The hummus is some of the best I have ever had, and the mint lemonade was delicious! They have vegetarian options and bowls you can alter to be gluten free. Come here!“

“Delicious Authentic Middle Eastern falafel and shawarma. It's a place that focuses on just that, but does it really well. Every element of the 'sandwich' is made to perfection! The pita is fresh and warm, the shawarma is cooked perfectly on the rotisserie, and each topping is delicious- the humus, tehina, amba, onions... plus ... served with a smile! Open late too!“

“I ate here several times during my visit to NY love the food“

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

“An inexpensive, tasty hole in the wall survives in Union Square! Delicious falafel and decent shawarma in an overstuffed pita. Ridiculously low prices. Make sure to bring lots of napkins and consider eating in Union Square, as they're full of drippy goodness. The owners are efficient and down to business, but warm up after repeat visits.“

“This is not a place you come to for atmosphere. This is a place for delicious falafel and other Middle Eastern foods, like shakshuka, kibbeh, etc., all vegetarian, since it's kosher dairy. The food is authentic Israeli-style. The staff is friendly, too. I don't wear a yarmulke, my wife doesn't cover her arms, and they serve us, and everyone I've seen walk through the doors with a smile. Good food and civility are universal. Give this little shop a try!“

“I’d never had falafel before trying it here, and I didn’t realize how amazing it could be until I had it at another restaurant. Ever since then, every time I come back, it never disappoints. I’d highly recommend trying it if you’re in NYC!“

“We ordered 4 Catering trays for our hospital holiday potluck and the food was delicious! Mr. Wissam is such a nice person and very professional! Will definitely always order from him for all of our holiday potlucks! Thank you for the special delivery and special additional items. All of our staffed loved it and will come back with their families for more!“

“My picture isn't the best because I was too hungry to take a better picture but this was amazing! I ordered the Shawafel and it was big enough for two but being from LA I wasn't going to get something this good for a while so I ate it all. It was spicy (optional) and hot and fresh. They even gave us an extra falafel as a treat! The guys serving are super cool too.“

“I love the shawarma sandwich I bought , it was so delicious tasty and the good thing of this place, is that it has small section to buy groceries,like Arab bread which is so delicious.“

“I called the restaurant just to make sure if the places still open. The person answer the phone call I said was what time do you open next thing you know he hanged up on me so rude and that’s not business like with a customer that’s on the phone. I give you zero stars.. Who ever answer the phone 4/18/26 at 8:30. very rude n the phone. I'm pissed off right now..“

“Really good food and service. Falafel and garlic is sauce is out of this world.“

“🔝 Notch middle eastern cuisine, Hands down the best, Highly Recommended“

“Super delicious food and amazing customer service 💯✅“

“Great food! I had the double cheeseburger which was a bit lacking in terms of flavor but I’ve heard their kebabs are much better. I’ll go back some other time to try the kebabs because the restaurant was great overall. Good service, really great prices. The only issue was the atmosphere but can’t complain for the price. Very competitive and a great option.“

“Amazing food come and check it out. show some support for them. really amazing people and service is great. Portion is amazing. I recommend you trying their Philly cheesesteak. Amazing. Amazing amazing. 💪🏼🔥“

“Great lunch! Delicious, great price, large tasty portions great patio seating and friendly atmosphere. Thank you“

“I've had a chance to sample most of the menu and it is delicious. Great music 🎶 on all the time too.“

“1. Phenomenal pizza, baked based upon your desired style/taste. The "undercarriage" is perfection!!!!

2. The ambiance was crafted in a significantly casual yet comfortable fashion. You feel good as soon as you take a seat. They are also constructed for a high capacity crowd.

3. One of the greatest features of all...., SERVICE! An Absolutely enjoyable experience. Warm greetings, and phenomenal all-around-service can be expected. I had an extremely positive experience, the very first time I walked in.

An overall, unbelievable experience can be expected!“

“Near to the hospital and it is 24 hours open...so when ever you need some thing to snack, it is always available...they have good food, hot coffee, tea, beverages all the time. A bit highly priced, but the availability of much needed items and food, kind of worth the money I would say.“

“My experience at Zurna Restaurant was truly enjoyable. The restaurant offers a warm and inviting ambiance that feels both comfortable and elegant, making it a great place for family dining or casual meetups.

The food was delicious and well-prepared, with rich flavors and good attention to presentation. Each dish tasted fresh and satisfying, reflecting good quality overall.

The staff were polite, welcoming, and provided attentive service throughout the visit. Everything was served in a timely manner, adding to the pleasant experience.

Overall, Zurna Restaurant is a great choice for a relaxing and tasty dining experience. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to visiting again.“

“Always a delicious meal at Mamoun’s. Proud patron for over 30 years. Never disappoints.“

“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!“

“If you're looking for authentic kosher Israeli-style falafel in Manhattan, this food truck is an absolute winner.

Finding truly authentic falafel is one thing. Finding it kosher, fresh, reasonably priced, and right in Manhattan is something else entirely. This place delivers on all fronts.

The falafel is crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, and always tastes fresh. The salads, pickles, sauces, and pita are fresh and plentiful, giving you the full Israeli street-food experience. Every bite feels authentic and brings back memories of grabbing falafel from a small stand in Israel.

As someone who keeps kosher, I especially appreciate having a reliable kosher option that doesn't sacrifice quality or flavor. Too often kosher food gets judged on the fact that it's kosher. Here, the food stands on its own merit. The fact that it's kosher is simply an added bonus.

The prices are very fair, especially for Manhattan, and the portions are generous. Whether you're a local, a tourist, or just passing through the city, this is the kind of place that's worth seeking out.

Fresh food, authentic flavors, fair prices, and a solid kosher option in the heart of Manhattan. What more can you ask for?

Highly recommended and well deserving of 5 stars.“

“Overall rating: 4.9
Paid: $9 with Tip

OMG SO GOOD. AND AFFORDABLE. Cash only and they accept Zelle. The staff is also sooooo friendly especially in such a small area. It definitely put a smile on my face that I wasn’t expecting during my lunch break. Highly recommend! I tried to go back recently to take a picture but I can’t find it anymore 😭 does anyone know if they moved?“

“We were visiting the area and were drawn here by the amazing smells. So many different choices of slices were available. My daughter chose cheese and a pasta topped slice. I chose ricotta/spinach and a mushroom. This place makes the best pizza we’ve ever had!“

“These street carts were peppered all over NYC. Am unsure why certain carts have longer queues than the rest even though they were all from the same franchise. Nothing much to comment on the taste. I didn't like the mess on the plate which was heavily slathered in white sauce. Reasonably priced. Portions are huge.“

“As a newbie creating my own shwarma meal, I appreciated the countermans help and recommendation. Excellent meal! Tasty, filling. I’m so happy I went!“

“Good food 🥘 good service ❤️“

“It’s clean , the food is fantastic the staff is friendly and prices are quite affordable.The outdoor dining is perfect.I absolutely love this place♥️“
