The search for new places paid off when I found this gem. The team combines helpfulness with a welcoming spirit, in a restaurant with friendly patrons. The meals here are perfectly prepared. The space shows care without formality. Every part of the service was attentive.

Great casual Mediterranean vegetarian food used to go here 2-3 times a week when I worked in FIDi. It's nice to see that the quality has not dropped off at all.

Excellent falafel, nice and fluffy on the inside. Highly recommend for a quick or leisurely lunch while exploring NYC.

This is a nice Middle Eastern restaurant near the financial district. I have eaten here several times and the food never disappoints. Seating is a bit scant and the tables were a bit sticky. Not sure if it is because of how they are made or them not being cleaned properly.

Delicious salad bowl - enough for 2 easily. Warm fresh pits, tabouli all lovely. Cold drinks would have been nice, and no hot water for tea. But apart from that would definitely recommend.

Amazing vegan options and middle eastern restaurant
The employees are helpful and communicate menu items clearly, despite the noise and energy of the city. The food is incredible. The location is small, but there’s still good seating. They deserve all the success that comes their way!

I ordered the Classic Forever sandwich—and let me tell you, it lives up to its name. A falafel fantasy stuffed with creamy hummus, crunchy Israeli salad, silky tahini… all wrapped in a pita that, well, felt a little like it missed the invitation to the flavor party.
But let’s not get stuck on carbs—because the falafel balls? Oh, the falafel balls! Golden-crisp like they just stepped out of a sunbeam, soft and herby on the inside like a secret whispered in a spice market. These weren’t your run-of-the-mill dry hockey pucks—these were handcrafted bites of joy.
The hummus? Smooth and dreamy. The Israeli salad? Crunchy, bright, and full of life. And the portion? Generous. Like, four falafel orbs of glory—I couldn’t even finish the sandwich, though my taste buds begged me to try.
If they ever start baking their own pita, this place might just dethrone the falafel king himself. (Speaking of which—Turco in Midtown, I still see you.)
Bottom line: this sandwich slaps. It sings. It crunches. It comforts. And if you’re on the hunt for a legit falafel fix in NYC, this spot deserves a place in your rotation.

Super generous portion sizes for the price. Could make two meals out of it.
Limited seating inside but can normally find a spot still
The yam slices were a little rare for my liking
