The falafel is #1
No one makes it as good as these guys.
Great prices. The place isnt much for the
eyes, but the food is worth it.

This place has great middle eastern food, by far one of the best in nyc. it's a small place, but they know what they're doing when it comes to tabouleh and falafel. Incredibly reasonable prices.
