GOOD Based on 429 reviews John Larkin2025-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hope more locations are coming across NY, this is the best fast casual middle eastern food I’ve ever had! Nikita Payusov2025-01-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The food is pretty good and well priced with very spacious dining area.

Mat P Ganesh R2025-01-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love the falafel. The staff has always been great to my family and my daughter asks to come each week. Laura Simpson2025-01-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best falafel pita I have had to date. Fresh made falafel with flawless add-ons. I highly recommend the lemon garlic sauce. So fresh & yummy!!!! Anne Medina2025-01-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the best Mediterranean place to have your favorite chicken shawarma. The place is so clean, service is great, price commensurate with the quality of food with fresh ingredients. From the portions and presentation of every servings will exceed your expectations and will keep you coming back to try every item on their menu. CharLena budgetweddingsnyc2024-12-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I ate their Loaded Fries Shawarma Chicken and garlic sauce, which was decidedly yummy. My goodness! The depth of the taste was phenomenal. Their spices are subtle, but memorable. I chose their garlic sauce and my friend chose the Tahini sauce on her beef Shawarma. The food is plentiful here. It was enough for me to be able to take some home. I was too hungry for that the first time, to do that. I've went back yesterday with the same friend. The fun part is that they give points that you can use for each purchase, which I had missed seeing before, but my friend had not. I signed up on the spot and received 50 points the equivalent of $5.00 off my meal. Stupendous! For my second visit, I had the Beef Sharwarma and my friend had a wrap. I was expecting shredded beef, but it was ground. Again, the spices added depth, but there was also perhaps a bit of greasiness from the ground beef. Although pretty, there was an almost overwhelming amount of chopped tomatoes on top, plus the requisite pickles. I opted out of the red onions, again since I have an onion sensitivity. That might cut the slight greasy taste bringing up the rear. I did not finish it, abs decided to take it home. Don't get me wrong it was still quite good, moist, ...yet still a little greasy. I will, return. The food options, taste, and the bonus points, all make it worth it to go. Edie Ismene Nicolaou2024-12-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reliable healthy lunch. Big portions. Sal Montalvo2024-11-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great selection and nice atmosphere. Ordering was easy. My wife and I both got bowls and the portions were generous and the food was very fresh.
