Serious Eats

Ba'al stands out with its incredibly creamy hummus and fluffy pita that holds up to messy, overstuffed fillings. We recommend the earthy Beet Sandwich or the fried eggplant Ba'al Sandwich .

Stephanie

The falafel is delightfully crunchy and they use a really delicious olive oil on top of the hummus which is also a great consistency. If you like beets , also try the beet and apple salad with feta !

Emily W

Falafel is flavorful and perfect. One of the best. Everything tastes fresh! (Only downside: no bathroom .)

Tony Xerri

You can't mess this place up. 1, its cheap . 2, its fresh. 3, its absolutely effing delicious. Believe it or not, I loved the cauliflower sandwich out of all and youre damn right adding spicy sauce !

Oz Lubling

This place is a total find. It has great humus , awesome sides. Great cheap middle eastern sandwiches and platters . Perfect quick lunch place!

Melanie Loff-Bird

I'm usually a falafel girl but Ba'al sandwich with fried eggplant and hard-boiled egg is what keeps me coming back to this place

Real Cheap Eats

Check out the falafel platter ($7). "This falafel is fresh and light, while the pita is fluffy. Throw in some of their lemony hummus , and you might find yourself thinking about this falafel for days." Read more

Ricardo Navamuel

Yummy $10 lunch combo : choose 3 out of their many sides. I went with falafel , tzatziki and tabouleh ????????

Sunay T.

Small, nice, with good food choices. However Hummus and Pita Co. Is still best place for that type of food. Larger portions, and so on.

Elaina Powless

Great spot for a quick lunch , get the Ba'al sandwich and the homemade Mint Lemonade for a signature meal. Can't go wrong here, honestly

Saleem

Get the chicken shawarma pita (or any pita ) with a soup for $8. Options for whole wheat and hot sauce if you'd like

Dustin

Their hot sauce is less blow-your-face-off hot than some competitors, which isn't a bad thing. Get some on your chicken sandwich .

Nathaniel Wice

Everything's fresh & homemade . My favorite falafel , hummus & zataar pita in NYC.

Chelsea

Great for a quick, affordable lunch in an area generally filled with overpriced crap. Felafel sandwich is perfect and cheap .

Javi

Fried Eggplant and Zucchini are magical. This coming from someone who thought disliked eggplant and zucchini his whole life.

Whitney Baxter

Can't go wrong with either the platter or soup+sandwich specials. Anything with Fattoush is especially delicious. Cash only .

Sujan Hong

chicken shawarma sandwich with a side of fattoush for less than $9 with tax. my new favorite lunch .

Zack Davenport

The baba ghanoush is on point. I got it as a side with my chicken shawarma and used it as a dipping sauce .

Jaime

Try the flatbreads with egg and caraway or feta - they take a little longer, but they are fantastic! Also, the lemonade is some of the best in the area, yum!

Anastassia Etropolski

Great falafel and the lemonade is absolutely delicious

Charles Knoles

Falafel sandwich is amazing. One of the best I've had and I have had many.

They have a great range of pita sandwiches here. A lot more diverse than your average Middle eastern restaurant .

One of the best lentil soups I have tasted, and I've tasted a lot, thank you!

Great for a quick, cheap lunch .

The flatbread appetizer is good for the money but takes 10 minutes to make. Everything else is served really fast.

Get the falafel sandwich over the platter. Platter costs $2 more and it's just a deconstructed sandwich .
