The falafel is a bit dry for me but the schnitzel mushroom malawach is lovely!

The food was surprisingly good at a restaurant that simply needs more attention to details and a fixed AC!

The space looks unattractive, the available menus outside and inside are old/dirty looking, the tables outside need umbrellas, and just a few decorations will do the trick.

It says open on maps, but in fact it was closed on Sunday 20/07/2025

This was a really yummy malawach wrap with seasonal cherry tomatoes, zucchini and haloumi cheese. I personally like my zucchini a little more well done but the dish as a whole was really solid. The flight of local ciders was great too. Nice job all around and I would send my friends here.

Lev Kitchen is a hidden gem in Ithaca, offering a delightful dining experience with a modern twist on Mediterranean cuisine. This trendy spot has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors alike, thanks to its fresh ingredients, innovative menu, and relaxed yet stylish atmosphere.

Fantastic and unique breakfast, with lots of local suppliers being supported. We tried the bacon & egg Malawach with the potatoes on the side. Excellent taste and healthy portions. Highly recommend for something different!

Back in Ithaca after being away for a few years, and have found my new favorite eatery on the Commons! Got breakfast here and will probably get it again before I leave!

The food is amazing, the serving sizes are plentiful, and the staff is very friendly! Highly recommend getting anything with oyster mushrooms or the bacon. If you are grabbing breakfast, upgrade to the duck or goose eggs they are absolutely worth it! 😍

You don't go here for the atmosphere, you go for the food. The wraps are delicious. I had the asparagus shitaki wrap. So good. The beet salad was lovely. And those wraps, the wrap itself is a star in the whole assembly.

The lamb merguez sausage, egg and cheese malawach was creative and flavorful and the best breakfast sandwich/wrap I've ever had. Nice job.

This was one of the most tastiest middle eastern food that we ever had !! The bread is so soft and airy that it melts in your mouth and the chicken and veggies fillings was cooked to perfection
