Rainbow Falafel

So quick and yummy! Delicious falafels for super cheap . Remember to grab a fork though, things can get messy - I definitely looked like an animal (sans fork) while eating in Union Square.

You cant beat this place. It's impossible. The price and quality alone is worth the trip. Falafel sandwich with onions and hot sauce . Do it.

Fantastic falafel sandwich , they just need better pita bread that does fall apart on the first bite. Other than that, good and affordable . #cheapeats

People line up during lunch for the best Falafel in the city . And at $4, it’s the best deal around. Add a side of Grape Leaves or Fried Cauliflower !

The enormous vegetarian platter : falafel (4 big balls!), grape leaves , baba ganoush , tabouli , raw onions , and pickled peppers on a bed of tomatoey salad drenched with tahini and hot sauce .

The vegetarian platter here is full to the brim of falafel , grape leaves , baba ganoush , tabouli , raw onions , pickled peppers and more! It's definitely enough to share, but we sure didn't.

Literally the most delicious authentic falafel and shawarma in NYC. And so affordable . These places are the real gems of NY.

Falafel and shawarma are exceptional. Try the shawafel. Mouth watering food. Good level of hygiene. Must visit place.

A classic institution and the best falafel in New York! Authentic Syrian style.

Love this place, have been going for 10+ years! Cauliflower is incredible.

Pretty good falafels ! Definitely worth a try.

Cheap and fast. Try adding falafel to the chicken shawarma sandwich . Cash only .

Falafel , grape leaves , and baklava are all delicious!! Great prices!!

Vegetarian platter is delicious and a great bang for your buck. Cash only .

The chicken shawarma sandwich has an amazing amount of meat in it

Been getting the baba ghanouj sandwich here since 1994 - still tastes the same, so delicious :)

Great for a cheap quick bite on the go.

They mash everything together in the veggie platter so you end up with a wet mess. Falafel sandwich is underwhelming. Even though it's more corporate, I prefer Hummus and Pita

Order a chicken Schwarma with cauliflower - abasilutely amazing!

Inexpensive and the perfect pocket food to eat on the go

Skip any long line at Hale & Hearty, Medina or Potbelly's and come here...$4.50 for the falafel . Fast & fillin!

Quick, cheap and delicious, can't go wrong!!

Get the baklava . Don't forget a bottle of water and napkins to clean the honey off your hands after.

Best falafel in Manhattan!

Good falafel to go, under 10$

The split pea soup is flat out amazing.

vegetarian combo for $9.50 is supposed to be good

Chicken shawarma was super dry.

Avoid this place. Overpriced mediocre falafel . Minimal choice of toppings (lettuce and tomato ). Ordered mine with no tomatoes and got more tomatoes than falafel .

Vegetarian platter was awesome

Go to Rainbow Falafel. Get a Falafel sandwich (everything but onions , please!) Spend less than $5 on lunch . Be full and happy.

Have a falafel with everything on wheat, it's awesome!

Cheap quick falafel

The chicken shawarma is nothing special.

Chicken shwarma sandwich is pretty good.

grab a great falafel and walk !

Cauliflower sandwich is unknown and unique and delicious.

An honest falafel , unlike the fancy-ass Euro place on the other side of Union Sq.

Fried cauliflower pita .

Best falafel & babaganough in da city !

Best bababhanough and hummus yum!

Used to be the best in town - now your Falafel is bland; utterly tasteless. What happened, guys? Such a disappointment.

Falafel 's at Rainbow Falafel in Union Sq. (26 E 17th St). Good and CHEAP !

Stay away!! Possibly the worst ever! Hummus is awful. Falafel is dry!
