Fast and inexpensive Huge wraps - tried the chicken gyro and the lamb gyro - very good Hole in the wall but excellent food read more

I stopped here for a quick bite & enjoyed it very much- the chicken however was a bit dryer than I would've liked it to be but it was alright overall. The portion is more than adequate & it's any topping(s) that you want. I also wanted to give a shout out to Lara who is a really sweet employee & deserves all the best. read more

Fresh Mediterranean food. I opted for the chicken shawarma salad bowl. The salad consists of green lettuces and cabbage. I liked the plethora of toppings offered (sumac onions, jalapeños, cucumbers, tomatoes, banana peppers, feta olives and etc). The chicken shawarma was tender and I got a decent sized portion. The toum was garlicky and creamy. I really like the spicy green sauce! A pleasant deviation from C**a! I'll be back. read more

If you are tired of eating platters from street vendors and food carts around the area, this might be the spot to try and elevate your taste buds. Food: With better quality but less portion from a regular platter. You still get a good value for what you paying! With better Kofta and toppings, I surely noticed the difference in how good it is. They also have Vegan option with the impossible meat. Service: You order at the counter and grab your bowl. Environment: Nice vibe and decoration but I would improve the seating arrangements since it feels little bit congested and of course add a MAIN component, a restroom. read more

We stopped by for a weeknight dinner and found the food to be decent and the service just okay. I would have rated this place 4 stars if not for the unexpected extra charges. I asked for half-and-half cauliflower and falafel, along with a side of tahini. The server at the counter didn't mention any additional cost, but it was added to the bill without a heads-up. I don't mind paying for extras, but I would have appreciated being informed upfront so I could decide. That aside, we tried both a vegetarian bowl and a chicken bowl--both were flavorful and well-prepared. Overall, it's a good spot for a quick bite, but better communication about pricing would improve the experience. read more

As a Lebanese gal, it's no surprise that I love Balade Your Way. I'm so lucky that it's only around the corner from my office. The zaatar manouche is one of my all time favs and they make it just like my family. Their baba ghanouj is also excellent - super light and refreshing (I like to sprinkle a little paprika on top). It's the perfect spot for a delicious and healthy lunch! read more

I stumbled upon this place after a midtown meeting and I'm so glad I did! What a cute spot with delicious food and wonderful service! I was so hungry and this hit the spot. Ani recommended I try the chicken shawarma bowl and encouraged me to try out the unlimited free toppings (which I did!). Her recommendations couldn't have been more spot on. I loved the bowl and was able to save some to snack on later this evening. It was abt $14 total, and the value was killer! I'd recommend checking out this spot over other chains--always great to support local, especially when the food is this fresh and the service is this good. I'll be back! read more

Pretty solid filling shawarma plate. The rice was pretty tasty and the amount of toppings was nice.

This is our second time here in a week! We found this place after visiting the original Balade restaurant downtown. This is one of New York's hidden gems in our book. Really good food at a fair price with nice decor. We traveled all the way from Connecticut just to come here...and we'll be back. read more

Balade is a great restaurant on all fronts. The food was fresh and delicious (and halal by the way). The service was stellar. There's not much seating room so that's something to keep in mind but it's a nice clean space with a nice ambiance. I had a shawarma wrap and I really liked it. I highly recommend! read more

The rice bowls here are okay and a good take-out meal during the workday. The wraps are quite small, so you get more bang for your buck with the rice bowl. Overall, my rice bowl lacked flavor of any kind, despite having a sauce as a topping, but everything was edible. The falafel was fine. I'll leave with a compliment that the greens and tomato were pretty fresh. read more

We needed a quick dinner before watching Aladdin and I found Balade - Your Way. It was nearby, and seemed relatively healthy, so it seemed like a good option. It was a Wednesday at around 6 pm and it was pouring. There were quite a few delivery orders but it seems like it would be a more popular lunch spot. I did the beef shawarma bowl. Although it wasn't really beef shawarma. It was more like dry overcooked strips of cheap steak. The rest of the ingredients of the bowl were good though. You can select as many as you want. I went with the rice vermicelli base, and added pretty much all of the toppings they had, except for olives and feta. Hubby had double protein - shish tawook (chargrilled chicken) and lamb kebab. The chicken was also very dry. Lamb was only a little bit dry, so this was the best one. Maybe it's better during lunch hours, since there would be more turnover. Or maybe it's better to stick to the vegetarian proteins. Either way, I won't be back to find out. read more

Husband and I wandered in here at the suggestion of my cousin after a long day in NYC. We were tired and looking for a quick healthyish meal to pick up. We also happened to see that Fridays are bogo bowl day there which was fortunate. We both ordered the chicken shawarma. I selected rice for my base and then you could pick unlimited fresh toppings. We took the bowls to go and they really hit the spot -- flavorful and filling. read more

They were running a BOGO deal on uber eats so decided to try it for lunch. Got a salad bowl. The lettuce used for it was a little disappointing. If you are going to offer this as an option don't use shredded lettuce. All of the toppings were pretty good but nothing special. Chicken was a little dry but tasted good. Overall, it was a decent lunch but doesn't stand out from other build your own Mediterranean spots. Maybe the other more niche items puts it over the edge. Willing to come back and try read more

I ordered Kafta over white rice from here with all the toppings all the time. Notice lately the portion of the bowl is a lot less and the size of the Kafta also shrinks. What happened? They already took off the BOGO deals on Fridays and Mondays and now the size of their bowl is getting smaller and smaller. read more

Had a bad experience ordering from this place through postmates. We ordered a chicken rice bowl, a lamb salad bowl, and a flatbread. Past the time our order was supposed to be delivered, we got a call from the restaurant saying they were out of lamb. Then they said they could make more but it would take 15 minutes - they could easily have just made it and still delivered the order within the planned timeframe so I'm not sure what this was about. The manager seemed irritated when we said we'd just wait the 15 minutes. The food itself was not great. The lamb was extremely tough and overcooked and the yogurt sauce was bland. The flatbread was soggy and greasy. I think this place could've been good but they need to work on customer service and consistency of quality. read more

Popped into Balade - Your Way with a small group of coworkers during a weekday lunch rush. I've been obsessed with Cava for awhile now, and my one coworker swore that Balade your way would win me over. Middle Eastern restaurants/establishments always hits home for me and I actively seek them out so trying this spot out was a no brainer! The aesthetic of the shop is super chic and cozy, its a bit narrow so there is a bit of elbow bumping during rush periods. I ordered the Tavook (chicken) rice bowl with garlic whip, cucumbers, olives, onions, hummus, and feta. The cucumbers were a bit mushy for my taste, you could tell that they were sitting out for awhile and didn't have that expected crunch. The tavook left me with a bit of heart burn, I wanted to love balade your way, but it didn't hit the same for me as it did for others. read more

Service was good but food lacks flavor. The website is not designed for retail sale. The menu seems geared for catering only

I usually don't write reviews, but I went here today to open my fast, and it was incredible! The staff was amazing, very kind and helpful. Importantly the food was delicious. We got a wrap and a bowl and they were both very very good. The place it self is clean and spacious with many seating available. 10/10 will be coming back! read more

The best mediterranean food in Midtown! I've been going here for a couple of years and the food never disappoints. It's better than Cava in my opinion. The vegetables are fresh, the falafel is crispy, and the sauces are flavorful. The staff is always friendly and happy as well. A special thank you to Lara who has a smile on at all times and remembers her customers, and Omar who is efficient and kind. read more

Love how you can custom your own rice bowl, salad, and pita wrap. The interior is gorgeous and welcoming. They also offer small bites and a variety of dips to go with their hummus! Definitely the spot for a quick bite and the service was fast! read more

This was soooo delicious! I have not had manouche since I was a kid and this brought back so many great memories. The flat bread was crispy yet doughy and the seasoning was perfectly tangy and great flavors coming from the sesame. I would 100% order this again and love to visit the restaurant instead of ordering in. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because though their manouche was delicious, I wasn't as impressed by their regular bowls. The flavors were good but felt like there could be more flavoring on the meats and topping options. read more

I've been to Balade on several occasions and each time, I've hoped my current visit was better than the last given it's a healthy balanced lunch option. I've observed the price point increase each year for average tasting food. It's edible but at nearly $20 for a salad and cauliflower bowl, I have a higher expectation. The restaurant is comfortable for dining in and the staff always provided decent service. A fair option in the neighborhood but won't be my first choice given the alternatives in the area. read more

Good food and affordable. Wraps and bowls, Shawarma, etc., Note there are very few seats inside.

I catered for a holiday lunch from this restaurant for the past 3 years. They never disappoint, best tabouleh, best hummus and amazing shawarma and grape leaves. read more

Great take out meal for lunch! It is a go to spot when I am working on the city. I suggest getting the double protein portion, without it you will be hungry! Service is always friendly! read more

Placed a large catering order for the office. Food came on time, packaged perfectly, and the quality is phenomenal. Favorite lunch for the office easily thus far - have had more people than any other time coming up to me thanking me and commenting on how much they enjoyed the food. Great variety and all delicious! Will absolutely be a repeat customer. read more

I decided to place a pickup order from here on DoorDash for lunch, but was unfortunately left disappointed and unsatisfied. I'm usually a big fan of these build-your-own bowl Chipotle style restaurants, but my meal here was thrown together sloppily and only tasted okay. I ordered a Salad Bowl with Chicken Shawarma and an extra serving of Kebab, in hopes that it'd be enough for two meals (usually at Chipotle just one serving of meat is enough for two meals!) That was not the case here, the food barely filled up the takeout container as is. I honestly had to dig around to find the "salad" part of the bowl, it was just a thin layer of lettuce that was already soggy by the time I was eating. The biggest portions were the cucumber and turnip pickles...tasty but I would've preferred some more of the base rather than an unnecessary amount of toppings. The chicken shawarma was decent, a bit bland but went well with all the different sauces. The lamb kebab on the other hand was a waste of money, extremely tough and no lamb flavor whatsoever. Portion was also extremely small. I had asked for the sauces on the side so they wouldn't spill as I walked home, those instructions weren't followed as you can tell and the sauces did start leaking. Nevertheless they tasted pretty good, the green and yogurt cucumber were my favorite. Overall have had much better experiences at other fast casual Mediterranean spots in NYC (of which there are so many!) so I'd probably turn elsewhere for a quick lunch. read more
