The falafel here is just so good - unbelievably moist and flavorful and perfectly fried. Definitely my new go to in the neighborhood. Don't sleep on the pickled veggies.

Best food and best people. The cook and the older gentleman taking our order love their jobs and really took care of us. Both the chicken and beef shawarma were cooked to perfection, with the right amount of juiciness and charred flavor. Even the bread was great. The man taking our order was very welcoming and hospitable. Perfect neighborhood halal spot.

Excellent falafel bowl with salad: the falafel are freshly made and the consistency is a perfect mix of crunchy on the outside, and soft (but still a bit chunky) on the inside. Lots of options for veggies in the bowl, babaganoush and hummus as a standard on the bowl, and the tahini is super super delicious. Maybe the best falafel on UWS!
Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan and vegetarian options, such as falafel or cauliflower plate and bowls.

I had a falafel pita. It was good, but very little garnished... I saw the cook prepare it: 1 piece of onion, 1 piece of tomato, 1 piece of salad... The falafel sauce was very/too watery. Small restaurant with few seats.

I was so sad when their long-time predecessor closed, but I despair no more. The lovely new owner has hired some beloved former staff members. To say that the falafel is tastefully delicious might sound a bit corny, but take me at my word when I say that this describes the culinary experience to a “ t”. Still, these words do not adequately depict the joy and satisfaction I derive from going here. It’s not only the fabulous food but it’s also the atmosphere, ambiance, and experience. I go at least weekly if not more, and so reasonably priced with all the fixin’s. I love it here.
Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus, baba ganouj. All superb.
I ordered lunch at this restaurant on Too Good to Go and thought it would surprise me, but I didn't know it was a disappointment! The food is scarce, the taste is mediocre, and the vegetables are not too fresh. Considering that I have had a bad experience ordering on Too Good to Go several times, I have decided to delete this app and no longer use it

So, i went to get a TooGoodtoGo bag from Zurna. This program provides an opportunity for a restaurant to help prevent food wastage and to highlight their product. For my $5.99, I got quite the measly salad, a small portion of rice, and blandly cooked chicken. A bit of white sauce, no hot sauce, no pita, and an offer of a plastic bag, for $1.00. Maybe they think that the lower (but not low) price of the TooGoodtogo bag means that they should provide a measly, blandly prepared offering. It does not.

I’ve been looking for a Bereket replacement for two decades now. Still looking.This is the only option for middle eastern style shawarma/ kofta kebob sandwiches in the hood. The average to poor, halal trucks don’t count.The sandwiches are decent. The chicken is always way too dry and flavorless, can you say under seasoned ? Stick with beef and lamb, and alway get it spicy (3.5/5 level of heat).The star of this spot is the falafel. It’s superior on multiple levels. 4/5. The tahini it comes with is water downed and lacks flavor, ask for garlic sauce, aka toum. You’re welcome.Little $$$ for what you get but it’s all we got so there’s that.
