“The owner of worker of this truck is a godsend! I couldn’t figure out how to put coins in the meter and he offered to pay and did for me with his coins and refused my pay back. He is such a genuine man and deserves all of the business. When I feel better, will definitely try out his falafel! As a local dentist, I will definitely recommend his food to the patients nearby.“

“Great food and friendly people the best Falafel and Shawarma“

“Presented with Very warm welcoming staff with a fresh crispy Falafel on the start.
I ordered chicken over rice with salad
No doubt salad was fresh and white sauce made it awesome in tasty but chicken wasn’t cook well. Could be better but over all joyful experience .“

“June 26, 2022. Walked to get our order of a Lamb wrap, chicken wrap and fries. First time there and a welcome place to the neighborhood. The staff are friendly, the place is new and clean and most important the food is very good. Will return many times. Check it out.“

“Delicious Falafel and Friendly Staff
The Chik Shop serves some of the best falafel I’ve ever had — crispy, fresh, and packed with flavor. The wraps and bowls are generous, and the toppings and sauces take everything to the next level. The staff is warm and welcoming, and you can tell they care about what they do. Highly recommend for a quick, tasty, and satisfying meal!“

“It's a food truck I love getting a free falafel but sometimes they give me one less in my platter so why is that menue says 6 for a platter reason for 3 stats is I can't see the hit sauce and its too hot so I wish they could just give the sauce in a cup would be nice if there was more rice n salad I mean ten buck s cmon fellas how come you have to hand me 5 falafel makes me feel dumb inside“

“Amazing. Got the shawarma plate and it was loaded. Really appreciate the portions of meat and vegetables. Delicious toppings with hummus and tahini and cucumber and cabbage and eggplant etc. Highly recommend. You will be satisfied. Great, fast service too.“

“The food was terrific! Nice and fresh and the customer service there is very friendly and quick“

“I came to Holy Pita and ordered the chicken shawarma, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was juicy, perfectly spiced, and wrapped in fresh pita with all the right toppings. Every bite was full of flavor.

The staff was warm and welcoming, and the service was fast. The restaurant itself is clean and has a great, casual vibe.

If you’re in the mood for authentic Mediterranean food, this is the spot. The chicken shawarma alone is worth the trip!“

“The food was definitely good: good portion sizes (for NYC), we especially liked the hummus and other sauces which felt authentic. Wide variety of items in the platter. Decent prices for NYC.

My only gripe is that this is a counter top takeout place and the payment system asks for 15/20/25% tip and dude was watching me as I tapped the buttons on the screen, so I felt pressured to tip for no service before even getting my food. Not unique to this place but that’s the only reason I’m not hustling back.“

“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.“

“Good Luck � My Friend“

“Friendly service, good food takes time to prepare but it's so worth the wait“

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

“The interior arrangement makes good use of the space. The dishes delight while the service enhances. This restaurant offers good value considering its location. Their workers maintained professionalism alongside friendliness. Semkeh demonstrates what excellence looks like.“

“Super delicious food and amazing customer service 💯✅“

“I ordered a beef shawarma sandwich — the taste was really good, but I wish it had more meat. The flavor was there, but it felt a bit too light overall.

They also gave me a sample of lentil soup, and honestly, it was amazing! Full of flavor and really comforting. I didn’t expect much, but it surprised me in the best way.“

“Delicious, authentic, and fresh Israeli falafel and cuisine! Not to mention their pizza and other Italian-American dishes! Excellent service at reasonable prices!

Vegetarian options: Falafel, Israeli salad, fried eggplant, babaganush, hummus, techina and so much more!

Dietary restrictions: Everything is kosher!

Kid-friendliness: Great for lunch/dinner out with the whole family! Perfect for kids' parties, as well!

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access through the double-wide doors!“

“it was amazing!! The proportions of the chicken and rice were in large amounts. The chicken was cooked well and the rice was soft. The salad on the side was very fresh. Overall I recommend this place for kids and adults. The spice levels canbe altered by asking for little hot sauce and more white sauce. The price is affordable and it is ready in less than 10 minutes.“

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

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

“Good food reasonably priced.“

“So, so good; can’t wait to go back!! I had a pita pocket with a bunch of veggies. The worker went above and beyond to accommodate my and my friend’s (annoying) requests. Planned to get just one sandwich but couldn’t. It’s that good.“

“I think it’s hands-down the best pizza in the area!
five stars across-the-board the staff was so nice so accommodating and the pizza was mind blowing mouthwatering and tasted amazing!
We spoke about the quality of the pizza for a week.
You could feel with every bite that this pizza was made with a lot of love!
Five stars across-the-board!“

“I crave Mamouns, but unfortunately, I haven't been there in years. I walked down from 16th Street and was famished when I arrived.
As deeelish as I had remembered. You can't get a better Falafel anywhere in New York. Everything is so fresh!“

“Fantastic Food! Crowded at lunch time which is always a good sign. Chicken shawarma was fantastic. Make sure to get the garlic sauce! Right by the Bedford L!

Vegetarian options: Falafel, Arabic salad, chickpea salad, pickles, etc.“

“all i can say is i went here yesterday and got a falafel wrap and have not stopped talking about it - i've said "moist" more than i'd ever care to admit. it's incredible. i went back again today and they served straight fire yet again. looks like a humble take out spot but let me tell you ... the aura in this place is off the charts. for the price, too? wild. i just moved to the area and will be here once a week.“

“what an exciting treat to have the truck upstate for the summer. we loved the convenience of getting the tasty falafel from the truck when it came to our colony just in time for the 9 days!!!! cant wait to visit the store when we get back to the city.“

“YOU HAVE TO TRY ZAHID’S HALAL FOOD!! The best halal food I have ever had. Juicy chicken and lamb with perfectly seasoned rice.. goes great with the white and hot sauce. The service was great, my food was prepared exactly to my likings. Food and service are incomparable to other halal spots. Don’t just take my word for it, try it yourself ;)“

“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!“

“Come on. Don’t know how these guys aren’t rated higher. They made a business out of making fresh to order custom whole medium pies. No slices at all! They have a promotion that if you buy two pies you get a third cheese pie free. This has worked for them for years.

Their toppings are fresh, their crust out of the oven is crisp and flavorful. They have cool ninja pizza blades that rock through slicing a pie in under five seconds. I have never had a bad pie from them and they are always consistent.

So the guys speak English behind the counter? Meh! 50/50

Do they sometimes look grumpy? Yes, but that’s because they do their perfect routine over and over flawlessly all day. Give em a break.

If it wasn’t for calorie watching, I would be here once a week.

If you haven’t tried them out, give it a go. My favorite is chicken and jalapeño mix.

And also note that they randomly make great falafel over salad or pita.“

“Quick, yummy, and delicious 😜

I called them at 7:54am. Ordered a vegan bacon egg and cheese. Took the bx22, was there in a few minutes. Order was already prepared and packaged!

He was patient when I had to call my dad and ask him to send the money since I have a chase first card. Usually people get annoyed because it takes a minute or two. Also they held the door open for me when I left.

As for the food, I loved bacon egg and cheeses. When I went vegan, I tried many different replacements and mocks. This was the best one.“
