    Falafel Plate

    My goodness gracious smh, this has to be the worst halal place In existence I'm sorry. Please go for your self and just look around look at the salad bar the gyro the fruits. Even the sauce tasted watered down. I'd pay for your lunch just to try it and review it your self. I'm sorry but this was bad enough to write a review on...

    Peach Smoothie was ok. No sweet or nothing special but cheap. Only 3 flavors or smoothies I saw on the wall

    not my fav smoothie place at all. have tasted better since it wasn't sweet. Too sour. I should try some food here tho oneday.

    Lentil soup, grapes leave and falafel.

    It all depends on your taste buds. The soup and falafel is bland. Grapes leaves a little salty. Overall it's good if you add hot sauce.

    Delicious lentil soup. It was filled to the top but I already had some. Only $3.50 for a small! Great service too.

    Amazing food and always warm service. The pita + soup or plate + soup are fantastic serving for great price

    The $9.50 vegetarian combo is the best deal around. As a grape leaf-agnostic I was impressed by this one. The hot sauce is riveting.

    This is worth the hype guys... I have no idea how it got so popular (tiktok, ig reels, word of…read moremouth?) but everytime I passed by here during my trip there was a line. It also smelled heavenly. We decided to keep the good vibes going after the most fun night - BTS concert - since this was near our hotel, we got in line around 11:30pm? They're open until super late. Didn't even spend that long in line to be honest, or maybe I just didn't mind the wait? When you get closer to the front, the line splits into two - not sure what the system is logically but it does help with ordering faster. We got one platter for 2 people - Mixed Platter which includes rice, lamb, chicken, and a slice of pita. You also have the option to pile on some crispy french fries (why would you reject fries) and get a drizzle of various sauces. I very intelligently opted for the hot sauce on the side, and was so grateful for that because it does pack a punch! Gosh, this was so delicious. SEASONED, and everything on the plate mixed together so well in one bite. Also an excellent portion that would definitely last you at least 2-3 meals if you got it for one person. I'm for sure going back next time I'm in Manhattan.

    Tastes great and reasonably priced. Would not wait more than 20min though, because the regular…read morespots are not that much different. Wait was not bad at 615 on a Tuesday. Looked like 30 people but line moved fast, so took under 20 min.
