Daan V.: Great falafel for just 2.50. Be sure to be careful with the spice sauce or enjoy the notoriously famous 'Mamoun's After party'.
Village Voice: This place is nothing fancy, but it's one of the the best falafel sandwiches in town. Crisp nutty falafel jammed into a split pit, lathered with tahini and topped with the works. Hot sauce optional.
Brad Tam: Cheap and amazing spot. I love the falafel and shawarma sandwiches. Also it's open late.

Kate Huyett: Top recommendations: spicy carrots, falafel hummus platter, merguez platter, chamoillah lamb tagine. Blood orange mimosa unbeatable at brunch
Daniela Asaro: One of my fav restaurants. The grilled chicken skewer is delicious and extra yummy with a side of hummus. They have the best falafel I've tried as well. If I'm alone, I'll eat outside and people watch
Sonya Doshi: Breakfast eggplant sandwich for the win. Falafels are also a great appetizer.
Adrienne Cooper: A little Kielbasa? Yes, please! Feel free to get yourself some sausage to take home, or perhaps a latke, or something offaler...take your pick the selection is wide and authentic.
Stephanie Yang: This place makes me so happy that I'm not a vegetarian.
Lynda Hrycak: The smells are magnificent
