Absolutely loved this place! The food was fresh, delicious, and fair priced (considering it’s NY). We ordered the XL tuna melt bagel sandwich and the falafel platter. Service was good as well. If we lived closer, we would definitely be going there more often.

Great food & professional staff! My wife had Jerusalem combo falafel platter & soup, which came with yummy garlic bread. I had an Impossible Burger and cheese fries. Delish! Then we topped it off with a generous scoop of mocha fudge ice cream, caramel sauce & banana. Very fair price for the quality of food!
