| - I stopped by last night to get some take out, since it's that time of week when I'm getting sick and tired of the usual swill, and I'm just about fresh out of groceries. This place is about a block from my apt., and I've passed it about a thousand times, but I never would have thought to stop by if it weren't for Yelp. (Sidenote: I really need to try the ready-to-eat food at some of the other ethnic markets in the area!)
Based on the reviews here, I decided to try the falafel and the spinach pie. I honestly can't remember the last time I had falafel--it's been years (don't judge!). Since I live so close, I got them both for take out, though, as others have mentioned, there is some seating if you prefer to eat in. Together, they cost under $8. The older gentleman--who I assume is the owner--made the falafel pita as I waited, and retrieved the spinach pie from the display case (he asked me if I wanted it heated, which I did, so he warmed it up in the microwave). He seemed very friendly, answering my stupid questions about the falafel pita (yes, it comes with all the fixings), and making conversation with me about my travels in S.E. Asia (I was wearing a Cambodia t-shirt).
When I got home, I promptly tucked into the falafel sandwich and then the spinach pie after pouring myself a glass of iced tea to accompany them. The falafel pita was quite savory, and I enjoyed the variation in texture and flavor that the vegetables and pita offered. I'd advise eating it as quickly as possible, though, since despite not wasting time in eating it, it was cooler than I'd like by the time I was halfway through. The spinach pie, on the other hand, remained quite warm, despite that I saved it until after I'd finished the falafel pita. Although it was a bit soggier than I'd like on the bottom, the flavors were quite delectable--even more so than the falafel pita, in my opinion. Both the falafel pita and the spinach pie were clearly homemade. For me, the two of these items were sufficient for a meal, esp. since I've been trying to eat on the lighter side recently. If you're a heavy eater, however, you may wish to get another sandwich or side.
While I was ordering, I noticed this place serves gyros and Middle Eastern desserts. I'll definitely keep this in mind for next time I want a gyro or some baklava! It's awesome to find another great hole-in-the-wall place so close to my apt.--thanks, fellow Yelpers!
