Everything was ready to go when arrived- quick and easy. Online ordering is always a plus. The restaurant is more spacious than I was anticipating and very clean. Let's start with the falafel plate: Delicious and fresh! The homemade pita was a winner. I truly hoped the hummus wouldn't disappoint because sometimes it just does and it was the whole dish's base. My concern was totally unfounded. As for the rugelach? Let me tell you, had I ordered in I would've ordered more than I did! The dough and sweetness was just right. Best I've had in New Hampshire.

Of course they are huge - sized for American giants that require each croissant to have the caloric load of an entire loaf of dough. But I review coffee. And the coffee here - sucks. I ordered a flat white. What I received was an abomination. A way too large cup (12oz maybe?) filled to the brim with tepid, beige milk. I need not pontificate - it sucked. I took a photo, and dropped it into a nearby garbage can. Be a tourist, stand in line, and be disappointed (or thrilled if you are a completely undiscerning toadie) - or go elsewhere.

The problem was that it took over an hour for our food to arrive. During that time, we watched three tables that were seated after us receive their meals before we did. It became pretty clear that our order had likely been forgotten. I completely understand that mistakes happen. If our waiter had simply apologized and been honest about it, we would have understood. Instead, he told us the kitchen was "backed up," even though we could clearly see other tables being served. We ultimately decided to leave after watching two tables that were seated after us finish their meals, pay, and leave before we had even received our food. We paid for our drinks before leaving and never received an apology. On top of that, some of the manager's responses to negative reviews come across as dismissive and disrespectful. After our experience, it's not hard to see why the service seems to have gone downhill.
