The Migrant Kitchen - Upper West Side

Food is delicious and yummy I love the hummus and salad combo and the turmic rice was amazing

At approximately 4:10 pm,on November 15,I enter the restaurant and observed an employee prepping tomato’s and eating them with the same hand,and continued prepping and eating the tomatoes with the same hand.There’s a surveillance camera overlooking the employees,please review the footage.Yes,there was someone prepping food and eating in front of the customers,and I ended up walking away.I witnessed two Hispanic female employees at the time.You can see me and my girlfriend if you bothered to check your surveillance footage.You should be able to identify us,I’ll ask the owner if he can identify the clothing we were wearing.Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This place is great. The food is tasty, the people are friendly, and parts of the proceeds go to feeding those in need. What’s not to love?

I love this place so much! The food is really great, and affordable. Plus, I love that the supporting migrants and migrant causes. It feels like a win-win all around. I love their crispy cauliflower wrap, which never disappoints. The sweet potatoes are amazing. The spiced lemonade is unlike anything I’ve ever had and I can’t stop ordering it. If I had one complaint it would be that the space is a little tiny, and feels a little more like a fast food environment, but it’s always clean, and the staff are so nice, it totally makes up for it. Plus, the operated the Ballfields Cafe in Central Park, which is casual and outdoors, so if you’re looking for ambience you can’t get better than that. I’ve been coming back and back and back! I love it!

I ordered a Chicken Mole Burrito. Through class pass and it was completely inedible. It was so salty. I had to throw it away. Please do better. Especially if most of your customers go on their lunch break and I took a 15 minute walk to this place, and it was very disappointing

I stopped in looking for something healthy and hopefully affordable which was a success! The fattoush salad with salmon was super delicious, it's definitely going to become a regular go-to of mine. The lamb sorta sounds amazing and will need to try that too. Friendly and hospitable service! All around, a great neighborhood spot.

Mid, food was cold and small

the first time i went here it was fantastic. i got the chicken schwarma wrap. this time it was awful. the wrap was basically all lettuce. no tomato included & after asking for it (it’s on the menu included with the wrap) i was met with attitude & them trying to convince me that tomato was not included in the wrap. luckily they made another one for me after much convincing but i was still disappointed in the second one & the contents ratio.

Super dry and way too salty

I came to this place happy, because I was so starving and wanted some empanadas. I order 3 spinach, mushrooms and cheese empanadas, 3 lamb empanadas and a pork wrap with no jalapeño. The mushrooms empanadas were not even cooked enough! The dough still was raw, and the taste was disgusting! Terrible bad! After 2 little bites, we didn't eat it! When I looked to the other empanadas, to see if looked uncooked like the others, for my surprise, there is no lamb empanadas in my bag! Instead it, they gave me a bowl with pork and some rice and beans. And the wrap was soooo spicy! All the jalapeño I asked to not add, I think they add double!
The music was sooooo loud, I think they couldn't even understand what I was ordering.
At the end, I spent $67 in a disgusting food!
I'm latin, grow up in the kitchen with my grandma, this food is far from being latin food.

We bought 2 of their cucumber mint lemonade. One is large and one is small then my friend argued that it’s the same size and it is. They use a taller and a shorter cup but they have the same exact volume so you pay more for the same size. See video attached

Great place. Not much space inside, but the outside would be great when it's warm and dry out. Lovely food menu, great drinks, nice friendly staff members
