The young girl that I was asking questions to, could not even answer one! The owner/ manager was literally right there and could absolutely hear me asking her a several questions that she did not know the answer to, and he chose to say nothing. And the place was empty. There were 3 Jewish women in front of me; a woman and her 2 daughters perhaps and he absolutely was accommodating to her when they didn't have the cheese item ready, so he gave them other items to try for free. So when it was my turn to order (and by the way they are extremely slowwww, I waited so long to order while store was empty and so long to get my 1 pizza Bureka). The cashier informed me that they didn't have any apple caramel burekas; and I got there around 12:15pm on a Friday. She just said come back tomorrow. I asked if I should call first, she said I don't think we have a phone. I asked her a bunch of other questions and she couldn't answer any of them!!! None of the 3 staff including management/ owner chimed in to answer any of my questions at all. It was such a super frustrating experience. I did purchase 1 pizza bureka stick and it was ok tasting, the filling definitely needs some improvement.

When it first opened a while back, I recalled the place to be really busy and was interested to see…read morewhat it was all about. It took a while but I was finally able to come here. When I got here, there was a line outside. But the outside line is pretty much most of the line - they really only allow 1-2 parties to wait inside. I found that to be curious as it's actually pretty spacious inside, I'm wondering if they have the line outside to look as if it's busy inside. What they serve reminds me of a poke inspired bowl. I had their spicy salmon bowl and got a side of beef for an extra $4.50. The total came out to be a bit over $26. The cashier was friendly and the wait for the food wasn't too bad as when I ordered, there were probably 5 orders ahead of me. When I got the food, I found it to be extremely small portion. The included the toppings like rice and vegetables. Without tax and without the side of beef, it was already close to being $20. Getting a side of salmon was already $4-$5. I think that paying $15 for some rice and a few vegetable is definitely expensive even in Manhattan

There are three small little tables for 2 inside the restaurant but it can get a bit cramped really fast with people coming in and out to order so I would order to go. They have lots of choices to select from and are well known for the falafel (which I need to come back and try). My friends both ordered chicken sandwiches and I ordered a chicken rice bowl. The food came out within 5 mins, and was delicious. The rice bowl comes with many options for salads on the side and I wish I tried the taziki or something more unique. Would strongly recommend getting the delightful hot sauce on your sandwich or bowl. It was a much smaller quantity I was expecting for an order that came out to be 15 dollars after tax. Even the sandwiches did not look to be too large. While the flavor is much better than your typical halal cart food truck, I do feel like the quantity of the typical nyc food truck is normally much larger. Otherwise, great spot. I do look forward to trying the falafel in the future. Fun fact all falafel dishes are 10% off on Fridays for lunch,

West Coast-ish undertone in design and menu without being blatant...laidback and clean-looking but not sloppy... like your favorite pair of well-worn denim that works seamlessly in any mood or environment. the soft-touch lighting, modern-ish retro interior provides an intimate dining drinking + small bar area experience without feeling like your packed like sardines in a can. that said, if it's a full house, Dimes can be a bit loud. acoustics, ya know. while the menu is as much a draw as the digs with familiar diner-like offerings with unfamiliar influences...i find the coffee here to be consistently good if you keep things simple like an Americano when you want coffee as you make the rounds downtown with friends in tow or solo-dolo. most recently, used Dimes as a waypoint to grab coffee a few times recently as i made my way through things to do in the Chinatown, LES, & Two Bridges areas. Dimes has a nice flexibility for its food, drinks, and "vibes." definitely would recommend for a drive-by coffee or choose a light meal with friends and such if you have plans in the area.

I got the chipotle aioli for my sauce. I really wanted to like the as the concept of minimal ingredients was appealing. However, the entire box felt like it was missing something. It felt like a collection of side dishes that was looking for a main starch to be paired with. Had the box come with a pita bread or a base of grains and greens, I would have been able to better justify the price. Out of the sides, the one I liked the best was the spaghetti squash. The other ones lacked flavor and mostly tasted like salt. WOULD I GO BACK? Likely not.

Recommendations: Specials are better than the regular menu (TFT is fine)…read more I was at this interesting restaurant with one other person a couple of days ago who generally prefers vegetarian food. The inside was unique, being almost a mixture of a diner and a bar with dim red lighting (cue the bad photos). It was pretty loud inside, with the 60s and 70s music not helping in that regard. The woman in front was friendly, as was our waitress, but it took a while for us to order and also to get the check at the end. I was early, so I had a $12 Green Tea Chu Hai, which was standard and tasty. In terms of food, I had heard from others that the specials tend to be better than their burger, so we mostly stuck with those. He started with an appetizer, the Chunked White Pumpkin, which was $20 or $21 and came with fried halloumi, some chili oil, and some Thai basil on top. The chili oil had a surprising kick and was nice when mixed with the pumpkin, while the fried halloumi was salty and added texture. Otherwise, the Thai basil added some freshness. It was tasty, and if it's available, I would recommend it. For my main, I went with the "Not Another Focaccia Sandwich" special, which was $24 on the menu and $25 on the wall, but I don't remember which was actually accurate. The dish came with Cherry Lane Sicilian eggplant, Lani's braised bitter greens, Russo's mozzarella, and house-pickled red nardellos on a sesame focaccia. The menu had a slightly different description, with the jam listed as "meaty" and the greens listed specifically as being braised in balsamic, but I presume they were the same thing. All menu shenanigans aside, this was tasty. The focaccia, in particular, was excellent, with a nice crust and a fluffy inside, and combined with the toasted sesame, it reminded me of a shaobing. The eggplant was cooked down but still retained some texture, and it did a good job as a vegetarian replacement for the typical roasted pork. The greens were bitter, but not too much so, and the mozzarella and slightly spicy pickles added more flavors and textures. In short, I would recommend it if available. I tried a bit of the other person's $22 TFT, or Tofu Fried Tofu, which came with spicy mayo and slaw. The texture was decent, but I found the sandwich a bit bland. She also did, with her requesting more spicy mayo. I had a bit of it, and it was creamy, but it lacked heat. Overall, it was decent, but definitely worse than my dish, and I can see from that order why people recommend the specials instead. We were pretty full at the end, but we decided to split two desserts. My preference of the two was easily the Griddled Mochi Cake for $17, topped with grapes, raspberries, and white wine caramel, sitting uniquely on a bit of rice pudding. The cake had a pleasant texture with a bit of chewiness from the mochi and was pretty sweet from the grapes. The raspberries added a bit of needed sourness, and the rice pudding added texture. It was good overall. The other dessert was the $16 Pear Cheesecake Sundae with labneh gelato, candied pears, cheesecake bites, and Spencer's pear jam. It was very sweet and fruity, with the gelato in particular being the highlight more than the rest. It's a bit difficult to rate this place. I loved my sandwich and found it decently priced, but the one dish that was typically available on the menu was only decent, while the appetizer and desserts were also good. Overall, I liked it.
