Not a good place to get authentic Palestinian food. Owners are trying to scam people

We have eaten here a couple of times. Really good food and staff are attentive and engaging.

Delicious falafel wrap. I think even the pita was made from scratch. The grape leaves were served warm which was a pleasant surprise. There’s not many tables. I suspect most people do take away.

I've been coming here, on and off, for several years, I've always loved the shwarma, be it chicken or lamb, served over hummus. (Much better than over rice, imo).The spicy added sauce has become a little too salty for my taste. They would do well to cut down on the salt. You can always add salt, but not the other way around, ya know?!

Dietary restrictions: Too much salt!

I wonder what happened to this place. I used to go here regularly when it first opened years ago and loved it but moved away for awhile and hadn't been back until recently. Was in the mood for some good Middle Eastern food and remembered them; ordered the chicken shish kebab platter. Tasted like food-cart Indian food, not Israeli/Middle Eastern. Hummus side order was grainy and pita was cheap, flavorless pita wraps that you buy in the store. A disappointing, overpriced meal.

The place is just that a small shack with about ten seats. The falafels were made to order and served hot. The dips both hummus and baba ganoush lacked flavor. The hummus wasn't creamy nor served with olive oil on top just a piece of olive. The baba ganoush was sour and also served with two pieces of olive. The pita bread was the thin pita served luke warm. The three things we purchased weren't particularly flavorful nor tasty. We thought this was going to be like the Taiim restaurant in NYC and unfortunately it wasn't

Doesn't even taste like real falafel. It had no flavor and nothing about it was to my liking. I recommend trying grill house in yonkers. They have authentic Palestinian falefel. Taste way better. Also the shawarma wasnt too good either. Not a fan at all

I order for delivery, I got a spicy falafel wrap, very fresh! I also ordered the Jerusalem couscous and that was great! The price is really good too!

Food was mediocre. Branded as Israeli food but is lacking flavors, textures and ingredients. Pitas were flat and dry.We had a falafel “pita” (wrap) and hummus with chicken shawarma. Both got thumbs down. The falafel balls themselves were ok but the rest was not enjoyable.The lady who worked there was very nice but unfortunately we will not dine there again.
