This new fast-casual spot just opened in Chelsea. Freshly baked pitas or hand-stretched laffa bread are vehicles for hummus , vegetables , salad and taboon chicken . There is also beer and free Wi-Fi. Read more

Alex Rainert

Get a laffa , fill it w/ schwarma and some of their delicious toppings and you'll feel like you've traveled around the world and discovered a delicious Mediterranean burrito .

Deb

Falafel on pita bread

Christina Squitieri

The falafel is delicious! I rarely eat vegetarian and I think it's the best thing on their menu. Also, the portions are huge!

Elizabeth Burstein

Good combo plate spot with hummus and brown rice and veggies . Pita dessert with cookie dough is amazing

miles lennon

Unbelievable high quality for the price. Get a platter with chicken , spicy Moroccan beans, hummus and all the veggies they offer. Make sure to get Shug on the hummus for heat

Jeff Petriello

A great quick lunch place. The bowl is a pretty great deal for under $10, and you can top it with a big selection of toppings - pickles and carrots #ftw.

John Fontein

Solid Middle Eastern food in the heart of NY. Portions are enormous. You won't go wrong with any order on the menu

Daniel McDonough

Tons of different options for Mediterranean food . Line is long at lunch time but moves pretty quickly. Food is good and filling portions.

Giuseppe Turitto

Good selection, and their Humus is really good and creamy, oh did I mention they bake their own Pita bread

Julie Gavell

Like one of the other reviewers... Tony Stark would approve the Schwarma here!! Love this place! It's the Mediterranean Chipotle.. You get much more bang for your buck here. :)!!

Edmund O'Neill

Like Chipotle, but for Middle Eastern food . Fresh and delicious, and something for everyone. Try the falafel !

TheRakker

I love this place!!! So many meat and salad options, plus whole wheat pita .

Tyler Muse

The hummus is awesome. Great spot that never disappoints. Try the green chimchurri sauce not too spicy not too mild

steph z

White pitta falafel hummus with veggies and sauce and maybe some brown rice on the side OH MY soo good!

Katie Eytch

Big portions for not too much money. A great variety of hummus and veggies to pack in your pita/plate.

Thomas Pajor

The Pita you can get here is stuffed to the maximum and therefore a challenge to eat, but it's delicious.

Amanda Butler

The bhabaganoush here is among the best I've ever had. Great selection for vegetarians - get the falafel bowl! Tons of food for 7 bucks!

Nate Beatty

The plate is a good deal . Tons of delicious healthy (if you pick the right stuff) food for the money.

Greg W.

Basically a Mediterranean Chipotle, recommend the shwarma platter with fried eggplant , hummus and Israeli salad

Sam Inshassi

I have to give credit where it's due. This is good stuff. But the Israeli couscous is not Israeli, nor is it couscous . It's ARABIC maftool. And I promise it's yummy.

Catherine J

Everything here is amazing and fresh, lots of choices! But if you're indecisive try not to come during lunch and hold up the line asking about every item!

ReALTO

"$4.95 for a falafel sandwich , choice of humus , one "Fill It” topping – more complex salads , rice , tabuleh etc., one sauce, and unlimited “Top It’s” – your typical lettuce, tomato , pickle fair . Read more

Elliot G

Everything here is delicious. Just like chipotle and subways, have an idea of what you want to order first - don't slow down the line behind you!

Josh Jacobson

Hummus with falafel and two pitawas were less than $6. That's cheaper than a food truck , tastes better, and you can sit inside!

Justine Findra

Great hummus and falafel . Generous portions . Just know what you want before it's your turn to order!!

Tom Noh

One of my favorite lunch spots about 11 bucks and you get super FULL

Robert K

Absolutely delicious! Everything is homemade and fabulous. Clean and comfortable environment. Try it and you won't be disappointed!

Colin Lee

Great value for money . Excellent carrots and juices ; and good falafel

Masha Smelyansky

This place is amazing not just the food but the people couldn't be any nicer. Get the falafel w the works and you won't be disappointed.

Arun Nandi

Such good food, you'll want to come back again. The portions are deceptively filling.

Cameron Spickert

Like Chipotle for Middle Eastern food . Fresh, fast and surprisingly cheap . The shawarma was excellent.

Jen Makulowich

Line gets long at lunch , but moves quickly. Plenty of gluten free options .

Claudia S.

Best Hummus Spot in the city and the Spanish eggplant is a must!!!!

Pam B.

I’ll admit I mainly come here to nab a couple free pieces of the cinnamon-toasted pita at the register.

Alicia Chan

SOOOOO good! Try the Shwarma tandoori chicken thighs . Warning: Hummus and homemade pita chips are the epitomy of addiction.

Lizzy Saxe

Everything here is surprisingly solid. But don't go too crazy. It's easy to order too much or to end up with a bunch of food that doesn't really go together.

Paul Kernfeld

Gyro meat , chicken shawarma , soft and fluffy laffa bread , amazing sauces

Gajtana Simonovska

Reasonably priced and solid middle eastern for vegetarians and carnivores alike.

AmateurConcierge

Solid value at a Mediterranean take on chipotle. Could use a bit more flavor, but tons of options. Skip the laffa .

Jen Dang

Make it a combo for a cheap , delicious and filling meal and be sure to top your pita with the chimchurri sauce!

Lindsey Frances

Healthy options to build your pita or plate as you desire and delicious.

Chelsea Vance

Sweet potato fries , falafel , and pita were reasonably good. Hummus was a bit suspect. Didn't taste like any of the things that hummus is usually made of, made me wonder what I was eating. Bit creepy.

Julie Gavell

Awesome Schwarma bowl they give lots of fill its! Amazing!

Brett W

Delicious (see below tips) but pretty slow at lunch . Order online and wave at the suckers waiting in the queue!

Amber Marlow

Rice is good, spanish eggplant stuff is weird (bad-weird), falafel is dry, hummus is AMAZING. tabouleh is delish.

alexandra nowicki

So good.... I was randomly walking and stumbled upon it. Must try....hint: try the spicy sause :)

Chris Calo

I've never seen a more gorgeously golden pita in all my years. I gotta try one next time.

Melinda Tan

So good! Hummus and pita was delish

David Schorr

Go for the "laffa "sandwich instead of the pita if you're hungry. It's like a middle-eastern burrito .
