I know this is bad for the business but ai have to say, there are much better place than this. West Side Shawarma is gold in-front of this. It was late and i thought I will give it a try but they dissatisfied me with the food, this is not fresh lamb, its frozen lamb chops. I make it at home, and I know it. Irony is that they don’t follow the complimentary drink policy which is why it is known for, they charged me $10:43 for a gyro and 3$ for a drink. When I asked the guy at the front said, “brother, this price from long ago”

Low key, the Philly cheesesteak is 🔥 . There is no way it can compete with the real thing but it's extremely satisfying and potentially more handleable than a platter. Also the platter might let you down but the cheesesteak won't. Just be aware that they have a peculiar system... If you ask for anything Italian (Italian cheesesteak or Italian cheeseburger for example), they put fries on it, which to me doesn't sense because fries are not even remotely affiliated with Italy. If anything they could be connected to France because we call them French fries. They misheard me when I called in an order once and they thought I asked for Italian cheesesteak and I had French fries in my cheesesteak. I was trying to feel slightly not too unhealthy about my late night snack so I didn't want fries on top of the delicious greasy meat and cheese and peppers and sauce, so make sure you clarify that you want a Philly cheesesteak not an Italian cheesesteak. All in all, you should not have high expectations and if you don't you will be happy. If you are an experienced eater of street meat from carts in the city, their platter is different, and should not be held to the same standards. They are open late and are always quite friendly so these are the big positives that you should consider if you're in Newark and you're hungry and it's 2am.

With a few minutes to spare, I ducked into this counter-service spot on Broad Street for an early lunch. I’d hoped to try the lamb—my favorite—but past letdowns persuaded me to play it safe with the chicken over rice.
The dish arrived quickly: finely shredded chicken, well-spiced with a satisfying kick, piled onto a generous bed of rice. For an $11 fast-food meal, it was filling, flavorful, and exactly what you’d expect from a grab-and-go joint. Service was brisk and polite.
One oddity: the plate came with a single bite-sized piece of bread—hardly enough to scoop up the rice or sauce. A fuller portion of pita would have been welcome.
Keep your expectations in line with the format; this isn’t fine dining, but for a quick, reliable lunch in the neighborhood, it does the job without disappointment.

Ordered food was very excited to have lunch and chicken had a fishy taste and was very bland. Had to go and eat something else afterwards. First time ordering from here, was very disappointed.

The gentleman who took our order was very efficient and friendly. The food came out quickly. It was good and warm, very tasty.
Unfortunately, I could not give the atmosphere the top stars because of the location and peple walking in

Let me start by saying that this was ordered from Uber eats so I have no idea about the service in the store or the atmosphere and because of that I didn’t want to give it a bad review as far as that so I just kept it at five stars. I’m a vegetarian. I ordered falafel with rice and you have the choice of salad or french fries. I chose french fries. And you have a choice of sauce and I chose the white sauce. I also ordered baklava which was OK. It was nothing to write home about. Especially because it’s walnut and I thought I’d try it, but I really like pistachio baklava better. It had some hard pieces when I bit into it. I’m a little bothered by the fact that you get this little triangle of pita. So I took away one star because of the little triangle of pita and I also took away one star because of the description in Uber eats. They’re not very forthcoming as to exactly what you’re getting so when they say pita in the description, they’re not telling you, you that you get this little triangle of pita. I have never had falafel with this tiny little piece and so therefore, I had to take a star away for that. The flavor of the falafel was good. The rice was good. The shoestring french fries were OK and the sauce was good. My only issue is that the falafel was very dense , very heavy and a little overcooked. So I’m not sure that I would order from them. I really would have to think about it and try them again. Maybe give them another chance. I’m not saying not to go. I’m just giving you my personal experience.
Garbage . Told me to unlock my card when his pay machine wasn't taking my card . I always paid for my food here and the time I try to figure out why 2 sandwiches run up to 30 dollars . You guys are low mid if anything .

Ordered mix plate over rice, utter garbage. It is unnecessarily spicy, almost unedible. Meat had a slight smell. WTH are these guys thinking being so close to world class food carts. I'm not sure who finds an extra spicy plate appealing
