We sampled all 3 of the red wines they offered before deciding on one and buying a bottle. Bottle prices are fair enough, but these aren't high end wines. We ordered the mussels appetizer here again as it was awesome last time... And it was awesome again! So delicious. The hummus bowls were ok. We're generally not wow'd with these, but when combined with an appetizer and their complimentary dip with pita, it's all filling enough. The air felt a bit stagnant here again and then some customer must have said something because they finally turned on their house air conditioning. It felt so much more comfortable at that point, but we were already almost done with our meal. Service was great. They also charge a 3% credit card fee or offer a 4% discount if paying with cash. A mixed bag of penalty and incentive.

Do not order sushi here!

"A slice of pizza should look a certain way. There's a bit of variance for and aft but when you…read moreverge too far from the original slice of pizza....well that just ain't pizza anymore." Allow me to paint the scene for you: my lovely wife and I were on our way back to her folks after a late-night jaunt to TJ Maxx. Apparently, her sister had tried on a terrific black number that she just HAD to have. As it turned out, their tastes were not completely aligned as we left the store empty-handed and returned to Monsey for a couple of consolation slices. We parked in the rear and entered through the service entrance. I love service entrances - I feel a bit like I'm better than everyone else. We saw a bunch of teenagers sitting in their respective "booths", if you can call them as such, which harkened back to high school memories with the wrestling team and girls who wanted to be seen with lettermen (I asked my mother-in-law if I should capitalize lettermen - she said no). The line for ordering wasn't as long as my dear wife remembered from her days of yesteryear, and it was our turn after a quick perusing of the shoppe's wares. I went in for a "vegetable" slice and the missus chose a regular cheese slice and a spicy fries. I immediately realized how wrong I was for using such a vague term as "vegetable" and asked the strapping young man for clarification. He told me he rang me up for a blizzard, and that I could change it but he sounded a bit harried in his conveyance. I told him no matter and summarily paid the $11 and change. Our pizza was ready in under 3 minutes and my wife, pregnant of 9 months, rose to the occasion and collected our order. After securing our own booth, not unlike the booths occupied by teens the store over, I began chowing down. The dough was a bit soft and so I employed the classic fold-your-slice-in-half technique. Rookie mistake. Obviously, to any innocent bystander, this was my first blizzard slice. Within seconds, oily sauce began pouring forth from every crevice. Allow me to explain the blizzard. Take a pie crust, cover it with mozzarella, diced peppers, onions and tomatoes, then top that with their signature house sauces - both sweet and spicy. The sauce overwhelms the slice. I enjoy a neat slice of pizza and I enjoy a true slice of pizza - the blizzard was neither. A slice of pizza should look a certain way. There's a bit of variance for and aft but when you verge too far from the original slice of pizza....well that just ain't pizza anymore. I summarily wolfed down my slice, the exact way my mother warned me not to for the first 27 years of my life, then got to work on the fries. The slice tasted fine, but it was a nightmare to consume. The fries were quite tasty, within a standard margin of soggy/crispy variance throughout. The missus finished up and then went to the counter for round two - takeaway for the in laws who were watching kid #1 at their home. I went to wait in the car. Within 5 minutes, she shoves her pregnant stomach through the driver's side door (I couldn't locate my license or wallet when we left for TJ Maxx all those hours earlier) with 2 boxes stacked on each other and proceeds to delve into this drawn out story with color photos and diagrams complete with circles and arrows on the back of each one explaining in detail what each one was for illustrative purposes to be used in the event I didn't grasp the gist of the situation. As it turned out, the young man behind the counter who, we'll call Elchanan to enhance the review, and also his name was Elchanan, asked my beautiful wife how I enjoyed my slice. True to form, she told him "it's totally fine, but he doesn't enjoy messy slices." Above and beyond the call of duty for such a station, Elchanan showed his true colors and rose to the occasion. The story transmitted to me went something like, "he quickly said, 'I know which slice he wanted!' And then he threw it in for free!" There's nothing like free pizza. Especially delicious vegetable pizza. But please, I implore you: don't order the blizzard.

We had the octopus appetizer this time and a large Greek salad with grilled calamari. Such a refreshing, delicious dinner to share. Lots of chargrilled octopus, sliced up to eat and dressed with parsley, capers, lemon and olive oil. Ugh, so good. Drizzle more of that awesome table EVOO for even more yumminess. The large Greek salad is...large. It's well balanced, has mild feta and we got it all topped with grilled calamari (for an added $9). It's a good value as you get plenty of calamari (vs ordering an app of calamari). Dinner ends with complementary Greek cookies - kourabiedes. Bring cash app they charge a credit card fee (my only gripe here). We bright home a gyro platter to go and our server timed the order perfectly so it came out right when we were about to leave.

We were…read moreone of the first patrons (place was empty on arrival) and it slowly started to get busier after we arrived around noon. We ordered a plain pie, mozzarella sticks and some fries. The pie we were given was stale and definitely reheated from last night. The cheese was stale and hard, the sauce was breaking apart in clumps, and the crust was so burnt and well done. It was worse than what you could get from a freezer and reheat yourself. It was not fresh at all, and that's a real shame. I only realized this after seeing the pies others got after us straight out of the oven which looked completely different than ours (much better). The entire coloring of the fresh pies were different. If you're the owner and you're reading this, please know that this wasn't a kind thing to do. We didn't complain but we probably should have since it really left us upset after the fact. We love to support kosher restaurants and drove a while to get here with two small kids. We were hoping to be back but unfortunately we won't be.

Let me start out by saying the Orthodox Jewish Community can be a bit intense in attitude especially if your not Orthodox., so when ordering here can seen like the Soup Nazi episode on Seinfeld. Especially if you've never had middle eastern kosher food before walking in here. If you have a little knowledge about Shwarma and Falafels you will be able to get by here. There was a shift change while I was here and if you need help asking any questions on what to order without feeling awkward ask for Yacov with the Big Yalmaka (skull cap). He is a younger and loves to talk to everyone. He saved it from being a 3 star bad service to a 4 star cool service and almost made it a 5 star because he needs to move his hands while he talks to you cause it slows down other orders. Ok, now that we rated the service, parking can be crazey here especially if your handicap as it's in a crowded small mini mall, this place only has one small unisex smelly bathroom and a smaller set up with about a dozen tables which makes it good for a to go business. Now for the food, I'ld like to thank them for keeping it strictly kosher, especially with a hand washing sink and a plastic covered Birkat Hamazon (prayer for grace after meals). The food was amazingly good, especially after eating at hundreds of kosher restaurants where the food was bland and something wasn't right, this place was spot on for each item we ordered to the point of ordering a second round to take home. We started with the Chicken and Lamb Shwarma on a pita with Humus and Israeli salad with sweet potato and rice side order with an Egg Roll on the side, we took home a Falafel and Hamburger and were so happy with the food we put this on our must go to place every time we come into Monsey. The delicious food will make you forget about the uncomfortable ordering situation and make you want to sing and dance with joy! Come here to try this adventure!
