This is the falafel plate. It was delicious. It had rice, falafels, hummus, whole wheat pita, red cabbage and tahini.
Jennell F.

The service is always great. I love their hummus and I usually get that to go but tonight I treated myself to the falafel plate. It was delicious. It's my go to spot and I'm all about supporting neighborhood establishments.

(This rating is based on what I tried and not a reflection of the entire menu!) The service was great and I love the little seating area. I was just getting a few things to taste. I tried the mint lemonade which was refreshing and tasted freshly squeezed. I also tried the falafels but didn't enjoy it that much. The star of the show to me were the fries it was Excellent and you should definitely try! There are many different modifications for gluten free eaters but no gluten free pita. I hope that they can have that option soon so I can try a little more on the menu. I hope I can update this review soon when I am able to taste more on the menu.

$20 Beef and Lamb Kebab Platter and $17 Chicken Shawarma Plate
Kseniya K.

Don't get why this place has such high reviews. I was fooled by them. This is an unassuming hole in a wall establishment. No indoor dining. Mostly take out. Only a few tiny wooden folding tables and chairs available for outdoor dining. On a random Tuesday evening, this place had tons of customers. Only one bathroom, for which you have to wait at least 10 minutes. If you don't have a mask, you're out of luck--you won't be allowed into the bathroom. Service was nonexistent. We had to ask and wait for tap water five times. Only one waiter who looked like he was close to murdering everyone was on duty. Such intense, heavy countenance. Not a smile or a relaxed facial muscle could be caught all evening. So tense and unwelcoming. $20 Beef and Lamb Kebab Platter and $17 Chicken Shawarma Plate were standard fare. Served on plastic plates with plastic utensils, this left more to be desired. Not a place I'd return to again.

Eggplant a la Yafa Pita
Jay C.

Ordering from Kulushat has become a weekly ritual. I place the order on my phone while waiting for my train after work, then swing by the restaurant 35 mins later on the walk back home. Comfort food on tough days. I'm a sucker for the classic falafel pita (can be ordered as a plate) but I find myself ordering the eggplant a la yafa pita more often. Comes in white or wheat pita. Other vegan options on their menu include the cauliflower pita, stuffed grape leaves, marinated beets salad, lentil soup, and rugggelakh (for dessert). Shout out to Damian (sp) and the rest of the crew who always take care of me. This is a cool neighborhood spot.

Hummus (8oz)
Trevor B.

I wanted to try something different from what I usually order out for delivery. This hit the spot. Stuffed grape leaves were nice and fresh. The beet salad was also fresh and tasted good as well. Loved the humus and tahini sauce, which added a nice flavor to the chicken swarma plate. Only criticism is there wasn't enough rice. However, food is very tasty, and I would reorder these food items again.

Chicken Shawarma Plate

Took my kid here to eat and chat! Can I tell you how we barely spoke and barely breathed, lol. The food was so good we chomped in total silence out side of, pass me this or let me try that. Service was amazing! No indoor seating... Outdoor seating is greeting and comfortable. We enjoyed our meal and experience Very Much! Ohhh and if you're into spice, you HAVE TOO ask for house sauce... it's freaking amazing P.S. Had falafel appetizer DELICIOUS, gobbled it up before I even thought to take pictures... it just smelled so good when it hit the table. It never stood a chance. Lololol!!!

Classic Falafel Pita
Jessie H.

Holy moly! This place is terrific! I consider myself a falafel (and hummus!) connoisseur and until Mamoun's opens a Brooklyn spot (seriously Hoboken gets a Mamoun's location and we don't?!) this will be my go to. I've tried the falafel in a sandwich (great, fresh pita) and a platter and it's delicious! Crispy, light, and very well seasoned. Their hummus is also delicious and the platter is giant and very reasonably priced! I can't wait to try more of the menu!

Chicken Shawarma Pita
Marc F.

Sad to see these folks closed their shop by Barclays Center but happy that the PLG location is thriving. Met up with a friend for lunch on a Friday. We arrived at opening. He lives in the neighborhood but never noticed this place. Well now he will! Ordered the chicken shawarma pita and he got the lamb kebab pita. No need for anything else. Except for maybe a few beers to wash it down. My only gripe is that there is no in-person ordering. Even if you are eating on their sidewalk tables or hut on the street, you have to place your order through their website. Usually takes 20-30 minutes so I recommend planning ahead and ordering before you get there if you're feeling hangry.

Falafel
Steve A.

Good food but too expensive. If you get only a sandwich it's still a lot. Kulushkat has some pretty authentic stuff. A lot of great vegan choices. The falafel is the best thing. Around Lefferts Gardens there aren't too many places for Middle Eastern food. It has a lot of fast food chains, but there's a few locally owned restaurants. This is one of the best places in the area for vegetarians. Like many Middle Eastern places, there's choices like falafel, grape leaves, and hummus. The dining area is small and there's only a few tables. I came in the last time with my hot woman friend. We were greeted by the friendly owner. Both of us felt like having falafel. I got the falafel pita. She had the same thing because she knows I pick good shit. It's about $10 for only a pita. This comes with cabbage and a very good tahini. It was good but it wasn't much. To add fries with it would have been a few bucks more. It already was too expensive. They also have some more expensive platters. I like the food here. It's just too expensive for the portion. That's why I've only been here a few times.

Falafel pita and red cabbage and eggplant
Christine G.

This is just based on the falafel pita which was just okay. The pita was dry /cold and the falafel balls were decent. The flavor profile is one note plus a little taste of cilantro. If going for falafel only, I'd recommend Falafel tanami in midwood which tastes closest to what you'd get abroad.

Phil H.

Some of the best falafel I have had in NYC! After a recent 5K running event in Prospect Park on a sweltering humid night I just wanted somewhere to eat dinner in some cool AC. Walking around we found Kulushkat which means "shut up and eat". Being that this small joint offered up some delicious Middle Eastern food we did just that! Tasty food and friendly service. Large portions. Prices that won't break the bank. Vegan options of course. It's a tiny spot with a few tables. Clean. The falafel here is delish! The falafel platter for $10.95 is so good! Your choice of one falafel flavor, Israeli salad, red cabbage salad, rice, hummus, tahini and warm fluffy pita. You can't go wrong with this choice. I'll run back here the next time I'm in the area!

Mediterranean Feast and Falafel Platter
Rachael M.

Delicious and fast take out, no contact. The Mediterranean feast and Falafel platter were definitely enough for two of us to share, with leftovers. They both came with pita (I like that they offer both white and whole wheat), hummus, and tahini. The food was absolutely delicious and the hummus clearly super fresh. We thought the Mediterranean feast was a bit pricy but still very good.

Julia K.

Excellent place to get delicious Middle Eastern food. My friend ordered the hummus with vegetables and falafel which he enjoy very much. The pita bread with chicken shawarma was delicious, and the seasoned fries had a wonderful spice level, which the tahini sauce nicely complimented. The service is very friendly and fast, only the issues with the door not closing properly by itself can be annoying in the cold weather when eating in.

Definitely worth another trip. I got the Cajun club (w/o tomatoes) sandwich and the frozen margarita. Both were soooo good! The place might be small but it's big on the "home away from home"/chill atmosphere!

I chose this place because I had visited a few times in the past and expected a positive environment. While there, I ran into an old friend who was accompanying individuals with special needs. They informed us about the R&B karaoke event, and we attempted to participate respectfully and supportively. Unfortunately, after participating, the DJ became rude and dismissive. My friends decided not to continue because each time they attempted to request a song, the DJ was unkind and impatient, seemingly unaware--or unconcerned--that they were individuals with special needs. The situation escalated when I attempted to calmly address the disrespect. Instead of listening, the bartender repeatedly accused me of being drunk simply because I was defending myself after a rude comment. I was not intoxicated; I was advocating for respectful treatment. Even the DJ's own companion appeared visibly shocked by the comment made toward me, as if anticipating a reaction. I remained composed and professional despite being deeply upset. What disappointed me most was the staff's decision to defend the DJ's behavior rather than acknowledge how inappropriate and disrespectful the interaction was. This reflects poorly on how this establishment treats people--especially those who deserve patience, understanding, and dignity. I came expecting an enjoyable brunch experience and left feeling ashamed for having trusted this place. It is clear that the venue prioritizes protecting mediocre DJs with minimal local popularity over treating customers with basic respect. Poor organization, lack of proper event management, and unprofessional staff behavior made this experience unacceptable. I have visited many establishments and have never felt so disrespected. I will not be returning.

TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups…read morewere the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.

The sandwich was very well made with a nice crisp panko crusting that didnt feel heavy on the oil, and yet still managed to have a light airy egg inside. The eggs rothko was buttery and flavorful but still managed to not feel too heavy. The broiled tomatos on the side were a nice touch to contrast the egg and toast from the main dish.
