    Great for a quick meal! I always get one of the falafel bowls. You can get it over rice, hummus, greens, or any combination of the three. Order ahead for pickup on seamless to cut the long line

    I like the platters here, you can choose 2 bases of greens/rice/hummus. The baja is great. Super busy at lunch, place your order online for pick up and make sure to check in (right line)!

    Awesome falafel sandwiches. My favorite is the Africa. Made with Habanero peanut sauce, ginger corn salad, sweet potato chips and greens.

    It doesn't matter what time you place your Seamless order online, they will not start making your order until you show up for pick up. Kinda defeats the point.

    Great crisp pita and falafel! Had the Africa sandwich and would definitely get it again. Next time I will probably try a salad

    The line is frustratingly long and slow but the naan is so fresh and fluffy it's worth it. Try the Moroccan with falafel.

    The Europa was pretty good! The packaging that this place uses is weird/unnecessary, but undeniably cool.

    Great falafels! (mexican one was amazing!!) Not so cool that a (mini) side of salsa is $1.00. Bummer.

    Don't bother sitting inside during the winter. The (huge) door closes very slowly and it's always freezing inside.
