Great falafels, my kid said it was the best falafel he had in NY. That made a statement and made me happy. Definitely recommended when outing in Roosevelt island. Ending the day with veggie falafel was great.

Best food in New York! Amazing place and great people!!!
you don't understand. YOU NEED TO TRY THE BREAD HERE. They recently started making baguettes and multigrain bread, and apple pie. It's out of this world 10/10. Made fresh, great price.
The restaurant is also fantastic, though i wish they would have more options that don't include chicken. But highly recommend.

The hummus is very good, it’s a pity that it is not served warm. The shawarma is good. $20 for a rice hummus shawarma bowl.
I eat there monthly (if not weekly). The food is so good. The owner and staff are very friendly. There’s no delivery option available. That’s how the owner wants it, and I don’t mind it at all. It’s a good meal to grab and have along the west side esplanade. If you don’t like raisins, don’t get the rice. The meal is better with the pita anyways! Add the fries and the lemonade. It’s a big portion :D
Parking: If you’re a visitor and you drive to Roosevelt island, then either park in the motorgate garage or find parking near Cornell tech campus. Utilize the red bus to get around.
Kid-friendliness: They have crispy chicken as protein option and a kids bowl menu option. This got my child to eat more carrots!
It’s the best Mediterranean food I’ve found in NYC since moving here 6 years ago and it’s one of the two good restaurants on Roosevelt Island.

This place is organically one of the highest rated, which piqued my interest and I took the trip.
If you’ve never been to RI, ME should make your trip worth it. I’ve had a lot of Mediterranean and Levantine food and this is simply one of the, if not the, best.
The place is clean, the ingredients and resulting dish is fresh, and there’s the warmth of handmade food in every bite. As the owner said “the secret ingredient is love”
They also have a section in the corner where something fresh is baked daily (when I went it was the brioche bread - see picture)
This is the kind of place you should support to raise the standard of other restaurant offerings in and around the city.
If you’re considering going, this is your sign, yes make the trip, this IS 100% worth it.
