winMarch 9, 2015These guys made me so happy - both the service and Pitts. Chockfull of falafels, paired with crisp cucumbers and tomatoes. And do try the Yuka fries!
Jeremy JacobowitzNovember 16, 2014Really good falafel and hummus! Perfect for a quick lunch. Also had their special kale salad which was delicious! Great find!
Serious EatsMay 10, 2013Slender but satisfying falafel and pita sandwiches. Try the Popeye with thick, creamy labne and an herb-flecked egg omelet.
Holger LüdorfMay 21, 2013Loved the Sabich sandwich with Tahini on the side. Fresh squeezed fruit juices go well with it.
Falafel salad is super delicious and fresh. The whole wheat pita tastes homemade and is quite possibly best in city! Great service and quick delivery.
You never go wrong with falafel. Ask for sweet potato fries, (if they have them) they are off the menu.
StacieNovember 30, 2015I was at a nearby bar and needed some food to bring back to the bar - falafel was delicious and just what I needed.
Ray FossDecember 1, 2013Great falafels and juice. Get juice, your taste buds will thank you. Real tahini, and fresh fruits for their juices.
Elvis RodricksAugust 28, 2013This is the place for a delicious humus sandwich and bread that is incredibly fresh! Go for it!
Anastasia NikitovicNovember 4, 2015Yum, i just had the falafel side and it was so delcious. I'm coming back here 100%
Tracy BalzanoJanuary 15, 2014Yummy sweet potato fries with chortle mayo. Excellent and fresh falafel and sabich.
Benjy WeinbergerMarch 18, 2014The sabich sandwich is legit. I'm eager to go back and try their falafel.
Falafel sandwich on wheat with an orange mint juice, perfection.
Fantastic fresh juices. My go-to spot for a quick bite in les.
Trevor StowJanuary 25, 2013The felafel balls are tasty enough to eat on their own with the bit of tahini the give you.
Falafel ShopAugust 29, 2012Try the Sabich Pita Pocket, delicious and filling. Nothing else like it in the neighborhood!
Libby BrittainJune 28, 2014Fresh vegetable juice for $4.25 or $5.50. Way below bougie juice market rate. Also platter > pita.
Seline JungOctober 9, 2015Wasn't a fan of the peanut-stuffed falafel but everything else in the wrap was tasty! Chili sauce is HOT. VERY HOT.
Crush and Sabich or Bureka treat and you won't be disappointed.- Falafel platter with white pita and "The Beat" juice...delicious!
Service is not very good. Make sure you get what you ordered! We come back to pick up missed items with a little too much frequency
Amy HansonOctober 25, 2013Juice is great, I wouldn't order a platter again. Weirdest pita I have ever tasted. Falafel is weird, small and over fried. Hummus very bland.
