Kay T.Kay Teo: Hummus is surprisingly good- can taste the tahini. Kale salad is too dry and needs to be massaged more although the flavor profiles are interesting. Iron hummus with spinach and pecans is unique.

Polina W.Polina Weitz: Had the sabich and it was great! Loved the soft eggplants, the pickles and the tahini. Also, the pita handled the heavy load very well. Highly recommended!

Russell H.Russell Hirschorn: Falafel trio platter was really nice. Couldnt taste the diff btwn the types of falafel but still very good. Salads and hummus were excellent. Fries were also VERY good. Hot green sauce is super spicy.
