Gypsy Grill was my go-to for a quick, satisfying meal without having to think too much - consistently great over the years and a source of comfort and flavor for me and many others. My go-to order was the chicken shawafel sandwich. They offer three spice levels and the garlic sauce is amazing. I've had shawarma sandwiches at many places across the country and this one is among my top favorites. Their kofta sandwich was great too, the gypsy fries are well seasoned and crispy, and their baklava is delicious. Good value overall. The restaurant is family run and the people are incredibly kind and courteous - a couple of times they got my order slightly wrong and went out of their way to make it right. A true neighborhood gem and I hope it's still thriving.

I'd give a 7.9 for sure. My only concern is if it's halal. I was asking locals about it and one guy said the only thing halal is the falafel which shocked me. Either he got beef with that restaurant or something else. Would come back so long as the drama is settled between this guy and the shop

They've added quite a few combos over the past few years but the basic platter remains my favorite. I always swap out tahini for tzatziki.

The customer service…read morewas really welcoming and friendly when I had some questions since it's been a while since I've ate here my son and I absolutely loved the falafel and he really enjoyed his Shawarma sandwich. I ordered the lamb platter. I believe it's called with baba ghanoush hummus and half rice half salad. I wasn't a huge fan of the rice. The dips were really great, especially with the pita chips. The salad was a little too plain for me but overall it was a yummy meal. I think I would go with chicken next time maybe the chicken sandwich or the vegetarian plate since I did really enjoy the dips and the falafel the most. The pistachios baklava was pretty good too. Ambience is laid back.

I used to work in the West Village so Mamoun's original location saw me visit at least once a week…read morefor their delicious shwarma and falafel. It has been quite some time since I've had Mamoun's so while I was wandering around Hoboken I was delighted to come across a location on Washington! Yes, I know it's been here for quite some time, but I'm kind of new to hanging out in Hoboken so this was a wonderful surprise for me. The original Mamoun's is a hole in the wall that can barely fit 4-5 people inside standing. In heavy contrast, this location is on a corner with plenty of room. The interior leans heavily towards wood and dark colors, giving it a slightly classic and industrial look at the same time. The wall along the right is lined with old photos of the West Village (including the legendary Cafe Wha-?). It is a wonderful reminder of where this chain originated and brought back memories of my younger days working in the Village. In heavy contrast to the original Mamoun's, you go up to an ordering kiosk and you pay with your card. The menu is well designed and I was delighted to see that you could mix drinks if you'd like and you can order different sizes of sauces (at an added cost of course). I wanted the basics so I ordered a shwarma, falafel and unsweetened iced tea. The food was prepared very quickly. At the pickup area there are napkins and cutlery. They apparently package everything as if it was to go, so no trays or anything here. They handed me my order and I sat down to eat. I carefully unwrapped the shwarma and man...it was like going back in time. There was a pita stuffed completely with a salad and shwarma meat (I went with lamb for that classic flavor). One difference from the original location is the lack of a hot pepper put on top of the shwarma. That used to be a nice touch they did back in the day, but to be honest, I have no idea if the Village location does this anymore. Folks, the shwarma was absolutely *delicious* and beautifully cooked. I recommend using the foil to keep the structural integrity of the sandwich together (though by the bottom it will just start falling apart). I also purchased a side order of falafel and they were perfect. Crispy on the outside, light chew on the inside and fresh! It's not hard to find falafel, but finding *good* falafel is tough so I was super happy with this side. Mamoun's is wonderful. It is a culinary blast from the past in a modern setting. I highly recommend it!

I had a serious issue at Hummus Republic on April 30 around 10 PM…read more An employee who called himself "Arun" mocked my medically incontinent 5-year-old child when he asked for bathroom directions and said it was an emergency. That is not just bad service--it's unacceptable behavior toward a child with a medical condition. There was no manager present, and the staff on-site could barely communicate in English. Beyond that: Pricing was misrepresented (jalapeños) Portions were unusually small Food quality was poor (stale cucumber and jalapeño lemonade) Concerns were dismissed without even checking Basic items like falafel and hummus were "out," and no effort was made to prepare fresh batches even at 10 PM Staff resisted providing plates, even when we offered to pay The employee even gave a false name until another staff member corrected it We spent over $100 initially and ordered more afterward, yet were treated like a nuisance. This location has serious issues with staff behavior, food quality, and basic professionalism.

It was covered in sauce which I appreciate the generosity of that. I look forward to trying more food from Mordi's. All in all, my first Mordi's sandwich experience was a 10/10.
