Arrêtez tout ce que vous faites & allez manger à cet endroit! Wow c’était tellement bon! La photo ne rend pas justice aux délices que nous avons dégusté.
Nous avons pris un Pita falafels (meilleur que falafel Yoni) & un Mama pita (la meilleure chose que j’ai mangé de ma vie!!). Les deux sont véganes & il y a pleins d’autres options véganes 🌱ça vaut le détour 🧡 La salade falafels est aussi délicieuse!! Le rapport qualité/prix est incroyable (25$ pour les deux) & c’était généreux comme portions! En plus les personnes sont tellement gentilles & le service est parfait.
Il mérite certainement tous ces bons avis

Excellent food & service. I ordered the Demama Plate to go. The smoked eggplant with roasted onions was out of the world (although a bit on the salty side). The hummus was creamy & delicious. The chopped salad & house-made pita offered a perfect balance. Yum!!

It’s pretty hard to believe that this take out spot usually does not have hoards of people lining up in front of it because its without hesitation the best falafel pita I’ve eaten in the whole city. Decent prices, superb service & amazing food! Try it!
