I had large chunks of marinated chicken breast that was so flavorful ,best Baba Ghanoush(eggplant like dip),grilled veggies ,feta and tziki sauce. The food was so good that I seen the manager and went over to him to let him know that the food was Amazing !! I was with someone and had a taste of his and it was so tasty!!

Very clean and ample seating. I will be back real soon!

Shame on this place. I placed a catering take out order through Grubhub with an estimated delivery…read moretime of 1:30 (their estimate, not mine). I received and email and text confirming a delivery time of 1:30-1:40. A rude guy calls at 1:30 saying the food cannot be delivered until 2:30. When I pushed back saying people are waiting for the food he said "how could you expect that we would deliver this by 1:30? It's a big order and we're far away". When I told him I only expect it because that's what I was given when I ordered he got nasty. He cancelled the order over the phone but the order is not cancelled in Grubhub and now I have to escalate to Grubhub that the owner refused to deliver the order. It's a $200+ order. Is this a scam? I have no food and I'm out $238 Never again with this unethical restaurant

This is a vegetable paradise and every bite is more delicious than the next. I wish I could eat at Terra every day! Fennel salad is so crunchy and crave-able, love the baked falafel SO much! It's incredibly authentic. I wish they sold the bread for their large wraps on the side but other than that, everything is delicious and usually correct, packed well, and so yummy!

Went here for lunch recently, and was greeted with a nice cup of hot tea. On a gloomy day, it was…read morewonderful. Very sweet tea, but I guess that's the Jordanian way. We got the stuffed eggplant appetizers, which were very tasty, though not what we expected. They're very small eggplants in a brine, so they tasted a lot like olives. Then we moved on to a chicken shawarma, and a beef & lamb one. They were also good, with fluffy fresh-baked pita. We ordered hot sauce, expecting a red "zhoug" like in other Middle Eastern places. After several reminders, we got the homemade hot sauce, which was green, not very spicy, and refrigerated, so it was literally cold. FYI, there is a 4% discount if you pay cash. Upon leaving, we agreed the food was good, not great. The service was kind of slow, but it was only one person, and the place got more crowded while we were there. The three-star rating is because we both got diarrhea about two hours later.

Just had lunch there. It was a very mediocre experience. I dislike having to place an order at the…read morecounter via a QR code and then waiting. We ordered are food to stay and about a half hour later, it emerged. The music there is pretty loud and the seating feels like a fast food establishment. I am also unsure as to why none of the smoothies or specialty beverages are on the menu that needs to be scanned. It's placed behind a large tv near where you order, not very visible or easy to read. The food itself is pretty forgettable, very bland with not much spice at all and everything arrived at room temperature, so I am not sure what took so long. Portion sizes were ok. No reason to return. I understand why it's usually so empty, now.

Bite is such a cute spot to grab a bite!…read more I am honestly very impressed by Bite. I thought it would just be the run of the mill sandwhich shop but all the food tastes very homey. Reading the other reviews it seems like everything is made in the kitchen which is amazing. I love the soups I have gotten so far (lentil soup and white chicken chili rice soup) and would highly recommend. I also got to taste the chicken schnitzel sandwhich and they do not skimp on the chicken which we appreciated. Would definitely come back to Bite if I am ever in the area. Service is also good and not too long of a wait.

I was about to head to Hale & Hearty's in the area when my sister convinced me to try Bite for the…read morefirst time, and it did not disappoint. A casual spot in Flatiron that offers a decent variety of soups, wraps and sandwiches with a fantastic playlist in the background! The country tomato soup (vegan) was quite tasty, but the star of the dish was actually the French bread that comes with it which was toasted to perfection. We also ordered the chicken schnitzel sandwich, which has greens, tomatoes, and a chicken cutlet. I shared half with my sister and it was really filling! I also noticed that the art on the walls were made by a local artist and it appeared to be for sale which is a really unique touch. (The restroom was out of order the day I went, so you may need to find a backup plan in the area just in case) Would definitely come back if I'm in the area!

Always in search of a solid gourmet wrap option. I'll say while I didn't feel like the wraps were…read moreout of this world, if I lived in the area I would definitely be a regular here. We grabbed the Underworld and the Wolverine (special). The latter was definitely my favorite and I really enjoyed the turmeric wrap. The process of them putting dough into the press to make a wrap is a skosh gimmicky but I don't even mind it. I really also enjoyed the egg addition to this wrap. The Underworld was also pretty good and I would probably have this in my rotation. I do feel like things sound a bit better than they ended up being. Also, the prices are high but the portions are huge, so whether you make this into two meals to justify the price is another decision. They do have some other sauces you can add on at your leisure which we enjoyed. The place isn't so big to eat in but no one else was eating in when we went, which was clutch. As a result the service was super quick.

First of all they have ~flavored tortillas~. Second of all i love a good variety of textures in my foods and this HAD IT with the pickles and potato chips crushed inside. Also, i am not usually a fan of raisins but that shit paired soooooo well with the rest of the wrap, gave it a cinnamon-y kick to the rest of the wrap. Food came out super quickly as well, they make it right in front of you!

This place really stands out for flavorful, authentic Middle Eastern food that tastes fresh and…read morewell-prepared. Their shawarma is honestly some of the best I've had in NYC--juicy, well-seasoned, and wrapped or plated in a way that feels very satisfying without being greasy or heavy. What makes the place even better is the variety on the menu. You're not limited to just wraps; there's a good mix of platters and rice-based dishes too, which makes it easy to go back and try something different each time. The biryani is a pleasant surprise--fragrant, well-spiced, and not overly oily--and the kofta with rice is especially good, really tender and flavorful with a nice balance of spices. Overall, it's a solid go-to for consistently tasty, authentic comfort food.

Lava Shawarma is a casual, full-service restaurant with five locations serving reasonably priced…read moreMiddle Eastern food that does the job. The pita and hummus were pretty standard. For my main, I ordered the fattoush salad with chicken, and the salad was huge! I was a little sketched out by the chicken at first, which was very thinly sliced and a slightly different color than I'm used to. It was their chicken shawarma and tasted fine enough, though it wasn't very flavorful and didn't seem high-quality. The salad itself, buried beneath the toppings in this picture, was fresh and yummy. Overall, I didn't feel the best after eating this meal, mainly because it was too much food, but possibly also because of the chicken and white sauce. If I came back, I'd get the fattoush salad without the chicken, but I don't plan on returning. I did really appreciate the free chai tea though! The waiter didn't offer it at first, but I saw it on my way to the bathroom and asked. It was sweet and spicy, but not overwhelmingly so.

Stopped by Naya for a quick bite, and it did not disappoint. Whenever I see NAYA I am never…read moredisappointed. Everything was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I went with a falafel wrap packed with crisp greens, flavorful pickled onions, and a creamy Tahini Lemon sauce that tied everything together. You can taste how fresh each ingredient is. The wrap itself was perfectly grilled warm, soft, and just the right texture. Paired it with a refreshing drink. The portion was filling but not heavy exactly what you want for a quick lunch or casual meal. The space is bright, clean, and minimal you can tell they take pride in keeping things neat and efficient. The service was friendly and fast, even during a busy hour. Naya is one of those spots that's consistently good fresh, healthy, and full of flavor. Definitely my go-to when I'm craving Mediterranean done right.

I will definitely try this place again and this time might also try the lamb kefta for protein. The falafel was so crispy from the outside and so fresh and herby inside. The price was about $13 - which for the big meal was a great value IMO. The 'pickled turnips' and 'baba ghanoush' toppings were both quite tasty and stood out. The place is clean, well lit and has enough seating for lunch. The service was easy and very efficient.
