“Small place ran by a lovely couple with all the signature classic Romanian dishes! This place is a complete hidden gem! The eggplant salad starter is just like my grandmother and mother make, the meats are excellent - portion sizes are huge and everything tastes like a solid Romanian place on my visits to Romania. The star today was the Papanasi - a classic Romanian cheese donut! One of the best I had ever! Highly recommended! Will definitely come again!“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“First time there for myself. My wife had been there recently for lunch. OMG, amazing. We started with their homemade, warm Pita with Babaganush (sp?). Awesome. I had their Arugala salad, which I like wherever I go. This was amazing as well. Then we had our entrees. None of us could finish our meals, they were so plentiful and delicious. We each took home doggy bags. We told them we couldn’t possibly eat desserts so we ordered some to go. They then brought out hot Turkish teas for us AND a plate of a custard for us to share. Delicious!!! WOW! This place jumped right up near the top of our list for favorite restaurants. We will definitely be back.“

“The pita chips were really good easily the best bit would go back just for those. The rice bowl was just ok though. I got half grilled chicken half falafel and the spicy jalapeno sauce with a bunch of veggies. Everything was just a bit bland no spice what so ever“

“We came here with our large family to celebrate father's day and two graduations and we had a great time. The food was exceptional (especially the green beans, the mezze platter, the pasta al limone and the ribeye steak...) The service was amazing too, and our server Noya was great. Malka is a new favorite!“

“A lovely small place in west village.

The octopus from the appetizers was quite a good portion and was cooked perfectly.
The beet salad was a no for me. I felt like it was cut too small and a bit overdressed, so I couldn’t really taste it.

They also have a good wine selection, so I may come again for that octopus and another glass.“

“⸻ “This restaurant is amazing! The food is fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly. I really enjoyed my time here.”“

“After a cold and windy morning, not being able to get into one of the morning shows, we ran across this little restaurant by accident for brunch. They quickly welcomed us in with open arms and fresh hot coffee. It was one of the best brunches I've ever had, but what made it even more special was Joey the owner overheard our story, knowing we had a rough morning, and gifting us one of his comfort food cookbooks! The day couldn't have been any better. I can't wait to try one of his delicious Italian recipes this holiday season. I highly recommend the Little Owl. I certainly will be going back in the future!“

“Delicious and friendly. Been coming here for years and bringing friends who visit from out of town.“

“We ended up at this shop almost by accident because my wife doesn’t use TripAdvisor—she uses NoseAdvisor, which may be the best advisor of all!

We had no idea what to expect. We live in France, so we’re used to those triangular-shaped pastries filled with spinach or whatever, and we were pleasantly surprised to discover this place.

The staff were extremely pleasant and friendly. The young woman who served us was brand new, so she was understandably a little inexperienced, but everyone was very nice.

I did read some reviews mentioning that the line can be extremely disorganized and slow—and that is definitely true! We were getting increasingly impatient because we were very hungry. But there’s a reason it takes time: they prepare all the accompaniments—the eggs, pickles, spices, and various other side dishes—freshly.

And in the end, the food was extremely good. We really loved it and thought we had made a great discovery. I even asked family members who live in Manhattan about the place, and they all knew it and confirmed that the food is excellent.

So, be prepared for a somewhat chaotic line and a long wait. But sometimes it’s worth waiting for a good thing. We would definitely come back!“

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience at this restaurant. The food was spectacular. I will dream about it. Service was prompt and polite. Best middle eastern food I have had in a long time. If you are in the area, you must stop by. It’s worth it!“

“We originally wanted to dine at Salma, but since it was full, the team kindly walked us over to their sister restaurant, Fattoush, and we’re so glad they did.
The restaurant has a lovely, homely atmosphere that immediately makes you feel comfortable. The shrimp appetizer was absolutely top-class, perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and easily the highlight of the meal. The muhammara was also delicious with just the right amount of kick. The only dish that didn’t quite stand out for us was the chicken shawarma.
A huge shout-out to the wonderful woman serving the entire restaurant by herself. She was incredibly efficient, attentive, and kept everything running seamlessly despite managing it all alone. Her warmth and hard work made the experience even more enjoyable.
We’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu!“

“Where do I even begin? The pita? Perfect texture and taste. The cherry tomatoes? Obviously fresh, juicy, and sourced from a great farm. The romain? Plentiful and CRISP. The Dill and Taziki sauce? Also VERY fresh, has a citrus kick somewhere, and seems to be made fresh as well. Because it doesn't taste like a store bought sauce filled with preservatives. The hummus? That might actually be where the citrus is from. However, the hummus is not overly salty! You can actually taste the Chickpeas and they use good ingredients as well as olive oil for the hummus too! The chicken? Is in NO way shape or form dry and it's actually seasoned! It's juicy and normal is it overcooked. The olives? Brothers and sisters I HATE olives by themselves, rarely on certain foods. But these olives are not overpowering and stealing the flavor profile, it just adds more depth to the flavor bomb of the Greek chicken Pita! The feta? What could be bettah? Seriously though if you can see this picture you should've seen that they don't skip on the feta either. Again the flavor is ALL the way there but not overpowering. While the texture is almost creamy. Probably with assistance from the sauce but still, it's not overly dry! 10/10 Would recommend & I will be back! Now the facility was spotless, the cleanest "fast food" I've ever seen. The staff? Phenomenonal, personable, kind, attentive to details, and downright superstars that make that place run like clockwork! Wooooo wo weeeee wo!!! If you haven't been here then you've got to go!! Moderate prices, exceptional ingredients, lovely staff, and clean facilities(where the staff actually care like the NW Expressway location in OKC). I'm out, ty for listening to my Ted talk! 🫡“

“Have ordered from here multiple times and have also stopped in for their soft serve. their food is delicious and a definite go-to for middle eastern fast-casual food in nyc! and if you’re stopping in- don’t sleep on their soft serve, it’s so damn good!“

“Really good portions and authentic flavor. The signature dish was great but the 1 of 2 sides option of potatoes were literally cold which was unfortunate because they looked so golden brown. I would’ve gotten something else like hummus or falafel had I known.“
