Great food, theres not a ton of places to get good falafel around here and this one hits the spot, not the best I've ever had but I can't complain it's good. And of course any falafel place worth its weight will have some of the best fries and they are fantastic here. Perfectly crispy. The indoor seating is nothing special, it does the bare minimum, but I expect few are going there for a sit-down meal. It's a spot you stop by for a quick lunch or take out.

I love this Mediterranean spot! It has never failed me so far. My go to order is the chicken kebab pita sandwich which includes chicken, lettuce, onion, tomato, cucumber, pickles and tzatziki sauce. I love how they aren't skimpy with the filling. It is messy but it is so good. You honestly could just have the chicken kebab pita sandwich and be satisfied but I enjoyed having some fries on the side to share with my sissy.

Best hummus in 3 counties! The food is always beyond delicious, fresh, and everyone there is so nice. Always clean and welcoming. 5/5 stars because 6 was not an option.

First time here, this food is great. And the lentil soup, off the chain. Had the chicken falafel platter. Thank you guys. It was worth it.

The staff was so pleasant and my food was really good. I ordered hummus and falafel. The falafel was so soft inside and had just enough crisp on the outside. The hummus was delish. The Tahini was a little more watered down than I'm use to but it was still good. I mixed it in with the hummus.

I really can't say enough about this gem in South Plainfield! The owner is a well-experienced chef for over 20 years, so kind with an amazing family, makes everything (I mean everything) 100% homemade and fresh, and they truly work so hard! The meat is exceptional, tender and juicy and there are so many different options to explore from their menu. Hummus, sauces, etc...are also homemade and delicious! They know what they are doing. As authentic as you can get. Please go check them out and support!

The place is small and always empty when I pickup food, but the food quality is amazing! Don't be fooled. The lamb kofta is so so good, as is everything else I've ordered. Would absolutely recommend.
