★★★★★ 5.0 natalie khanimova · Feb 2026

Really great kosher place. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and delicious, and you can tell the food is made with care. The schnitzel in the pita was especially good — crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The pita itself was soft and fresh and held everything together perfectly. The salads were extremely fresh and added so much flavor to the meal. Everything tasted clean and well-prepared, and the portions were generous. The place felt welcoming and comfortable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a really good spot for kosher food. The quality, freshness, and taste were all excellent. Definitely a place I would come back to again and recommend to others looking for a tasty and satisfying meal.

Wow, just wow. Most amazing food I have gotten in New York since arriving. The chicken was tasty, warm and seasoned perfectly. The pita was so fresh and fluffy. I also need to mention the eggplant salad and the hummus - both so amazing. The place is tiny but perfect, still has room for eating inside and outside. Perfect for grab and go for an easy lunch or even catering. The staff are so kind and welcoming too, it’s a very authentic experience.

I had had their falafel a couple of times before, and it wasn’t bad for $10. So this evening I was debating what to eat—sushi or falafel—and I went with falafel. Big mistake. The eggplant was so oily, it went straight into the garbage. Thankfully it was on top of the pita. Then came the falafel balls. I had the distinct feeling these were yesterday’s refried leftovers: dry, burnt, and bitter from being overtired. They were completely lacking the fresh herbal, nutty flavor and light texture that good falafel should have. I won’t even describe the rest of the untasty salads in between. Even though I was hungry, I ended up throwing away more than half of the falafel. Forgot to mention that the falafel now is $12. It tasted better when it was $10.

This is so freaking delicious. A hidden gem and a must try. I had the falafel yesterday, so good. Today was the lamb kebab platter. My sister had the beef kebab yesterday and I tasted it, so good!

I just want to say terrible customer service, they don’t seem to care what the customer has to say and what requests the customer may have, let me make this clear. I will never shop at this establishment ever again in my life. Sandwich was completely cold and falafel tasted very bland. You’re better off going somewhere else where they will treat you much better. The manager had a terrible attitude. Never again is now!
