The food is good, however there are no restrooms, and only four chairs and two tables so probably better for take away.

I think they have a fantastic menu. Very healthy fast food I would qualify it because the time you spend there to be serve and eat makes it really comfortable and convenient if you are on the go. I love the quality of the food, I tried the falafel bowl, with the unlimited topics. The food was properly seasoned and tasty. I am moving on to be vegan so it's a relief to know new places like this where I can still eat without worrying about hidden surprises. Definitely I will be back and keep growing!

I went to Nala to try out the Middle Eastern Counter and Grill. I wanted to try out a Naya bowl. The cashier notified me that I can customize my bowl with meats and veggie toppings. I chose beef shawarma as the meat of choice and went creative for my Nala Bowl. For middle eastern dishes, never leave out the hummus. In addition to the hummus, I also added onions, lettuce, cabbage, mixed greens, and a feta cheese. I loved the taste and texture of the Nala Bowl the associate helped prepare for me. The meat was especially well-seasoned and the sauce added the perfect spice for the meal. The customer service was excellent, the place was comfortable and organized, and my order was processed smoothly in the quiet evening. Thank you Nala!Vegetarian options: Vegetarians have full control over what can be put in a Nala Bowl, for example. Simply refrain from selecting a meat topping as a choice and proceed to select vegetarian options for your veggie bowl.
On two separate occasions I was picking bone fragments out of the chicken shawarma as I ate. The first time I notified the company and they didn't even bother to issue me a refund. Figured this time I would just post a review. So if you don't mind picking bones out of your food while you eat than food isn't bad, otherwise stay away.

This place is a gem in the middle of Manhattan, it's very casual Lebanese food, basically a take-out with seating for maybe 12 people. It is a little bit in the style of Chipotle, but the food is a totally different level. It is only similar in the way that you choose a base (wrap or salad), a protein choice (I got Falafel) and unlimited toppings like hummus, cucumbers, babganoush, tabbouleh, etc. Overall, I thought this place was great and so reasonably priced compared to anything in the area, and a nice healthy fresh vegetarian choice. I'm not vegetarian, but I love vegetarian Lebanese food. I also ordered a "little tabboule" which was good but so heavy on the lemon juice that it was more bitter than I've ever tasted before. The service from the servers was great, but the cashier was on the phone and left a line of 3-4 waiting quite a bit longer than he should have....you could tell everyone in line to pay was getting annoyed as he was on his phone...they might have lost a few customers over that. A few people in line were about to just leave the food and walk out. However, I judge a place mainly on the food, and if it's casual I don't care about the service, it would be the same if it was a very busy night. I would highly recommend this place, well worth checking out for something quick and delicious.

Chipotle with Mediterranean food in New York City, but with only two indoor tables.Came here 3pm on a weekday and no line to get food. Pick your protein wrap or bowl: chicken shawarma, chicken shish Taouk, beef shawarma, Kafta lamb kebab, cauliflower, or falafel. I get the $12.40 chicken shawarma bowl with Feekah, a type of couscous. You can also get the bowl with white rice or lettuce. For toppings I get the yogurt/cucumber, chopped romaine, tomatoes, fresh cucumbers, red onion and parsley, green cabbage, Kalamata olives. I skip the following toppings: hummus, Toum garlic whip, Baba Ghannouj, feta cheese, Jalepeno peppers, pickled Lebanese cucumbers, pickled turnips, spicy green sauce, spicy red sauce, and lemon Tahini. They add pita bread in a plastic wrap afterwards. Food is served is immediately on the take out styro foam box, with a fair amount of delicious chicken.Only two indoor tables, one a communal 8 person table, and the other a 3 person table, occupied by a solitary male nursing a coke surfing the web on his phone next to the front door . The communal table has 3 people already on one end. One small two person outdoor table. Wife and I sit opposite each other sharing the one dish, when the 3 people leave, and soon are joined by 2 other strangers sitting down next to us. At least they don't have body odor. The lack of indoor seating is a severe disadvantage in rainy weather, especially with the record 11 inches of rain this last September. No dry place to sit outside without getting a wet bottom on your pants. There are other restaurants with comparable priced weekday luncheon specials with far more indoor seating. If you come here at lunch or dinner, don't expect a seat. Not a place for a hot date, as zero ambiance.

Love this place, but there’s been a decline in service. Staff doesn’t understand their own menu… and prices have gone up too much.
