It was our final day in NYC for a few months. Time to enjoy Israeli street food in Midwood, Brooklyn. I go to Israel often, so I can't help but know what good falafel pitas should be like. This was it!! I got a falafel pitas. The pita was fresh & tasty & soft. The generous falafel inside was perfectly flavored & cooked fresh. Lots of chickpea, parsley, & seasonings made this fantastic. At the pita bar I chose many toppings to stuff the pita. I added Israeli Salad, eggplant, red cabbage, tahini, pickles, & so on. What a fantastic meal.

Had to run an errand to this area and thought maybe I can get a falafel in these parts. So yelped it. Saw quite a few listed, drove to one and thought yeah it looks nice but something drew me to this falafel spot. The real deal. Well deserving of its kudos. Hustling and bustle of a tiny place. I knew I was at the right spot. Prices are great and the falafel was scrumptious! I decided to only get a half sandwich thinking a whole would be too big for a snack. Maybe I should have lol. But the half was sooo good. It's like a roadside shack feel inside. Has some tables to sit at in enclosed space outside (that could be a little cleaner ). Otherwise loved that I ventured to this falafel joint.

Wow! This place is a gem tucked away in Brooklyn. It's a bit far of a commute if you're in Manhattan but conveniently it's close to one of the subway station. We came on a Saturday morning right after they opened and there was no line. I got the full sized falafel pita sandwhich but honestly they stuff it so much one is big enough to share with two people. I probably would just get the half size next time. You can choose any ingredients you see on the counter including eggplants, fries, cabbages, pickled veggies, etc. Definitely make sure to get the pink minced garlic sauce, it's amazing! I asked them to put some of the pickled pepper and the baby picked eggplant on the side so I cans savor it later without overfilling my sandwich. I actually was never a fan of falafel until I ate the falafel pita sandwich here. It tasted so fresh and paired so nicely with all the sauces they have in house. The unlimited toppings also adds to the excitement as I'm a big fan of vegetables. They have small standing table area indoors as well as outdoor seating. The place is quite small so don't expect to always find seating so you might have to plan to take your food to go if it's too busy. The staff is super friendly. They take both credit and cash!

This is the most delicious falafel you will ever eat!! All the food is PERFECT! The pita is the best ive had, the Humus, Tehini, salads are all amazinh. The eggplant is also particularly incredible and of course the falafel balls are light and fluffy and perfect! I dont come here that often because I dont live or work in brooklyn, but if i get withon 5 miles of yje place I always stop in. It's simply rhe best!!

Falafels were great - full of flavor but eaten in the pita with all the other sides made our super tasty --- though they had one with a different bread that made it into almost like a falafel burrito... however, i don't know if I'd go back cuz of the people who came after - the process of ordering left much to be desired - i myself went in and went straight to the cashier to order - who looked at me blankly as i didn't notice the 3 people standing back waiting for their turn to order. I apologized and stood in line awaiting my turn to order. Your sandwiches are made to order in front of you- so it may take awhile... so when it was almost my turn, about 7-10 guys came into the shop, made lots of noise and tried to take over ordering (read: jump the line) luckily, the kind employee behind asked me for my order and i was able to order when it was my turn. this in no way is the fault of the restaurant as they can't control their customers but can be aggravating after waiting awhile.

They do falafel so damn well here. Being here transported me back to Israel. My biking group, queer joy ride ended our ride here last night and man I wasn't even hungry but the half falafel I got hit the spot. I got the half falafel with pickles, fries, purple cabbage, a little tachina and chummus. They even have Israeli hand soap by the sink! Truly a taste of Israel, I look forward to my return. They have a few tables outside their brick and mortar establishment that is enclosed.

You just can't imitate perfection. You need to go to the original . This is the BEST falafel in NYC !!!! Hands down!!!! Arguably in the whole USA. Everything around it , the hummus , the schug,the pita , the Israeli salad . Everything complete the perfection!!! Highly recommended!!!!! Definitely a Destination!!!!!!

My husband has been raving about this place for a while now and told me he was bringing me the "famous falafel pita sandwich." I thought: whatever... but OMG I was not prepared for how gobsmackingly good it is! The soft pita is stuffed to the brim with fluffy, deliciously seasoned falafel balls and flavorful pickled veggies & fixins - you can customize the toppings - and the combination of flavors is just mwwwah! Truly world class. I also can't get enough of the amazing chili sauce/oil. Be careful with the grilled jalapeños though as you might hit on one that carries some serious tear-inducing heat! Take it from a bonafide spicehead and heat seeker. Just so, so, so good. The best falafel pita I've ever had!

Incredible! Best falafel and sabich in New York! I live in Brooklyn and this is the first time I went with friends. Everything was so flavorful. They also have great salads. They can make it spicy if you want. We ordered a few platters and sandwiches to go. Delicious and healthy. .
