    Great service!
    Karen N.

    I've always eaten next door at the Hokey Poke. I love cauliflower, so when they had a platter for MealPal, I ordered it. The service was great and the meal was delicious!! I will be back!!

    I really enjoyed this spot! If you are going in person to the office, I recommend this spot. It's near the 53rd and 3rd. I love the classic falafel. The meal is so worth it! Flavorful and great flavors that come together! It has the best barbecue eggplant slices (sabih'). The hummus, tahini, spreads, pickles, and egg! So delicious! The portions are perfect! It's so good. I want to come back and try all the other options!!!

    I am digging this spot. It's located in the lower level of 805 Third Ave. (The Atrium). While it's not new, it is fairly new to me. Not going to lie, I'm usually all about the meat but I'm trying to make myself eat healthier and more clean. This is a great spot to start. I've been here twice already and loved both my meals! First visit I had the roasted cauliflower over quinoa. It was delicious - the flavor combination worked well. And the roasted cauliflower had a hint of smokiness coupled with the nice char, it was amazing. I could eat that all day! The portion is on the smaller side, think the small plastic salad container size. But they put plenty of quinoa to fill it up. I'm still adjusting to eating smaller portions so this was just enough for what it was but I could've used some pita or something else on the side. Something small perhaps like a side of falafel. The manager was on hand that visit and heard me say it was my first time there so he told me to hang on just after giving me my order. Then handed me a nice piping hot falafel ball with tahini sauce on top in a tasting dish. It was so good. Especially since it was hot! I devoured it before even making it up the escalator to exit the building. Will definitely return for more. Second visit was on Friday, 1/18/19. This time I ordered the Tabouli with tomatoes and roasted eggplant. The eggplant was cooked perfectly - soft on the flesh part and crispier on the skin part. It was really good... Just wish they gave more. It only came with two pieces. Decent size but still... again, same small salad container portioned meals. I noticed on the menu they will have a chick pea burger soon... Can't wait. If it's anything like what I've tried so far, I bet that will be even more outstanding. Please hurry and make it already. I'm dying to try it.

    A falafel platter with a little bit of everything. So excited

    The Chick Shop serves delicious, fresh, Mediterranean food with nice staff and relatively fair Midtown prices for the portion size. Located INSIDE 805 THIRD AVE, down the lobby escalator, next to Pampano and the Poke shop. While the counter is small, the options are varied and solid. I ordered a falafel platter and added a ton of sides - the hummus, eggplant, beets, quinoa. It came with a fluffy pita. The hot sauce is fruity and spicy. The falafel is crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle and well seasoned and oh so good. The hummus is excellent - while initially plain, its very solidly executed. Eggplant is tasty, if oily (but I haven't been to a place where the eggplant isn't oily). The beets are refreshing and not sour. The shepherd's salad is crisp and flavorful and not soggy. I am so so so happy you Yelpers led me to my new favorite falafel joint. They also do pita sandwiches ($9-10) and salads, but if you're a big eater, the platters ($12-14) are where its at. I don't think I'm going to finish my lunch...

    Trio - hummus, eggplant and chopped salad, with pita.
    Peggie Y.

    I was introduced to this place via MealPal. I like their trio with cabbage salad, hummus and marinated beets. The eggplant is a bit watery, but it is still good as a dipping sauce. Their hummus is very smooth and thick, it is perfect with the warm pita bread provided with the trio. Definitely one of the places with the best hummus I have tasted so far in Midtown East. I would definitely try more dishes from here in the future. They usually get very busy around lunchtime, so try to go earlier or later to beat the crowd.

    This was so good that I'm going back tomorrow. Simple, spicy, damn good falafel pita. They have other options that I'm eager to try! Best part? For some odd reason there wasn't a large line here, while all the other food vendors had a long wait.

    Eating at The Chick Shop is an amazing experience from start to finish. I have been coming here for lunch for the past few weeks, and each day I'm greeted by the owner, who is not only an amazing chef, but a pleasure to talk to. He is extremely generous and has given me samples on more than one occasion! After the first time I came, he remembered me, which added to the family vibe at this place. While the service is an important part of where I choose to eat, the food is equally important. The Chick Shop delivers in this realm as well. The falafel pita and hummus bowl are two of my favorites, and I'm eagerly awaiting the falafel burger, which is a new meal that will be featured shortly. The food is not only authentic, but extremely rich in flavor. I highly recommend this place if you like interacting with kind people in city that can be unkind at times! Please check it out on your break from work, when you visit on vacation, or any other time. You will not be disappointed!

I first went to Hummus Kitchen at their UES location, but this one is equally wonderful. The space is on the smaller side (a bit narrow) and they have indoor seating for around 20-25 people. I recommend making a reservation in advance. The servers are friendly, attentive and the food comes out fairly quickly. As the name implies, the hummus here is excellent as is the thick pita it comes with (they have regular and whole wheat). If you haven't been before, get "the hummus kitchen" as it has 4 different types of hummus you can try. The mazze are also tasty, my favorite would have to be the grape leaves, but the falafel, cauliflower and babaghanoush are also extremely delicious (you can order any 3 for $28 and it comes with pita). For entrees, I highly highly recommend the chicken shawarma tacos (2 per serving) followed by the open arais tacos (also 2 per serving) and the Mediterranean red chicken (in that order). If you don't go with the shawarma tacos or want less bread, then the shawarma platter is also a good choice. The chicken shawarma tacos here are simply incredible, they serve them in their warm fluffy pita, sliced in half, open and fill the inside with chicken, onions and whatever else makes is so ridiculously addictive. This thing is bursting with flavor, it has to be the best chicken shawarma I have had in NYC. The tacos also come with a small side of hummus and babaghanoush along with pickles and some tomato salad. The portions are what you would expect as are the prices. Really a delicious spot if you are in the area or want a great/quick meal before or after a show.

Everything I've said previously still applies, but the seating area towards the back has been fixed up since my previous reviews. It looks much nicer now with more unified looking furniture, brightened up paint and even a panel offering a visual separation between the bathroom and seating area. The food has not changed at all, and that's a good thing. Their chicken gyro is still top notch. Their bulgar wheat side? Delicious. The hummus is still one of the best around and their fresh baked pita breads are to die for. Also huge shout out for their Dolmas which are the best around. In an amusing side note: I recommended Turco to a coworker who was visiting from out of town so he had a dinner here and he absolutely loved it and has talked about going back whenever he is in New York City again!
