    I ordered delivery and it came quickly. Both boxes came well packed and full, and tasted great!

    Lamb Platter
    Nader E.

    Let me tell you how delicious the food was. It was one of the best halal cart foods that didn't come from a halal cart. Everything was fresh and topped off. They did not skimp. Fries crispy, lamb meaty, rice flavorful, and salad good balance. Service was great too. Pay cash, save money. It definitely feels like you're in Brooklyn. Homie saw me munching on them in the store and they knew they had to get some too! If you're not on a diet or need a cheat meal, this is definitely the spot. Make sure you get it spicy. Also was I supposed to get hummus and pita too? Because if I was, I ain't even mad if I didn't, that's how good it was..

    Lamb over Rice Platter

    This is like my favorite takeout place! The staff is awesome. So many options. I usually get the lamb over rice salad and fries. Delicious and two meals worth of food. Price is unbeatable. Always crowded. This place is hype. Line moves fast.

    The Munchies is a great spot for late night comfort food. I've ended a few really fun nights with food from here and it's always absolutely delicious. Every time I go in it's really busy and chaotic, but the staff is super friendly and will try to help you get what you need. Everything I've tried from here has been good, and they give you huge portions, so I feel like you can't go wrong :)

    My first order from here was via door dash. For my kids I ordered a cheese burger and fries. The burger comes on a roll, very Brooklyn creativity haha. They really enjoyed it, I sampled it and it was pretty good. Ordered the lamb and chicken gyro for myself, I didn't like it at all. I gave it to my son, he liked it. I wasn't into the flavor of their lamb or chicken, the chicken was an interesting orange/red color. Food came on time and was packed well. I'd order from this location again.

    Menu as of 4/2024

    Sometimes when you accidentally get on the wrong train and get off the wrong stop, you'll come across a gem of a shop and think it was kismet. Such was the case for me at 9:30pm on a Tuesday evening, cold and hungry after my workout class. I had recognized The Munchies from Julian Mu's TikTok series, Late Night Bites, and so had hurriedly stepped inside to order some food for the ride home. Even though it was late on a weeknight, the small corner space was bustling, with a line almost to the door. But, the staff moved quickly and efficiently, and I received my order within 10-15 minutes. The menu is quite expansive and offers everything from classic halal cart platters to fish and chips. The portions are extremely generous, especially for the price too and I can definitely see why this is such a popular spot for late night eats. I ordered a lamb and rice platter ($10), which comes with two sides of your choice (I picked hummus and salad). While the white sauce was a little creamier and eggier than I was used to, I really enjoyed the lamb platter which was enough to feed me the next day too. They take Apple Pay too! Overall, worth a visit (or a Seamless order) for some late night munchies.

    Cute little spot. Fresh fish. Packed up Gyro. Too many fried though. Wish I would've gotten more fish instead of the fries with fish. Staff very friendly. Both combos came with a soda. Nice place.

Nothing fancy, just delicious food for an unbelievable price. When you walk into this large spacious "cafeteria" with steam trays, it looks clean and quiet. There was a lady at the cash register that wasn't too helpful, but I guess the communication barrier played a part. At $8.99 per pound, you can really fill up here for an insanely good price. My favorites have been the beef dishes and therefore often skip all the chicken items. However, feel free to make a plate anyway you like. At the end of the day, I'm sure it'll be great.

The spicing can be quite different from other styles of cuisine, but whether or not you like it is a personal decision. I liked most of the food that was offered. I found the baked chicken to be excellent. The stewed chicken and the goat dish were also very good. Vegetables are all excellent...from greens to cabbage to carrots...all are delicious. The whole fish has a distinctive strong taste that took some getting used to...perhaps a lot of paprika and red pepper, but I'm not really sure...certainly a nice portion size. Staff is very friendly and hospitable. Highly recommended.

    5/5 Stars -- An absolute gem in Manhattan West!…read more If you are looking for an incredible spot to bring a group of friends, Zou Zou is it. The ambiance is vibrant and chic, the crowd is great, and the overall vibe is just unmatched. Highlights: The Food: Exceptional across the board. We ordered the brussels sprouts (which were out of this world and cooked to perfection), the branzino fish, and crafted drinks. The flavors are phenomenal. The Service: The staff went above and beyond. A special shout-out to the incredible waitstaff and the attentive water service person who constantly kept our glasses filled--such a thoughtful touch. Our waiter was also exceptionally kind and welcoming. The Ambiance: Gorgeous decor with a warm, upscale energy that makes for a fantastic night out. Tips for future diners: Reservations are a must: Make sure to book ahead, especially if you are eyeing the gorgeous booths (note that the booths are designed to comfortably seat groups of up to 8 people). Family-style dining: While we didn't order it this time, they do offer a leg of the lamb that feeds 8, making it a stellar option for larger gatherings. I'll definitely be returning with more friends. Highly recommended!

A classic NYC hole-in-the-wall, this place is almost designed to be missed. Blink, check your phone, or dodge one too many pedestrians, and you've walked right past it. Try not to, it's worth the stop. Pricing sits a little on the higher side for a combo, but let's be honest - this is New York. The burgers are bold, satisfying, and built to impress. I went for the chicken and veggie sandwiches, both dressed with a mango lime sauce that genuinely were very flavorful. The tomato aioli on the side was another win. And the fries? Crispy, golden, and dusted with a Cajun-meets-Indian spice blend that somehow makes complete sense and zero sense at the same time - in the best way. Rowdy Rooster is a must-visit: come ready for real Indian heat and flavor.
